Intelligentsia Coffee - Watertown

GREAT coffee, especially the selected cast supernatants and cold brews. Had the Honduran over the option today and it was delicious Many seats inside, options outside, and many parking spaces on the property or on the street. Never very busy when I come. Great place to sit and work or read.

I have a really beautiful latte, and just like it is decribed, fine made foam. Very pleasant. The foam lasted during the drink, even until I finished it-I loved that - at some places the top foam disappears in 30 seconds or less, so this was very appreciated. I could really taste the espresso through the sharpness, it was fantastic as it should be, what is also something that does not always happen in other places.

I love this place. It has everything. WiFi, many outlets, many seats and tables in the indoor and outdoor areas, great location, accessible from all three Watertown, Belmont and Cambridge cities, and especially on the list of the top 4 cappuccinos I have ever had throughout MA. Definitely recommend it when you take a walk and have a coffee. Oh, and so much for the beautiful coffee decoration. 10/10 brightened my days. I am so grateful for the essential workers who put a smile on our face with their art and hard work. I didn't go there to study, but it was rather a short stop between my morning walk. But I saw many people studying there. If you want to study in a coffee shop, this is definitely a good choice. The Coffee Shop is conveniently located near the BlueBike Station at Star Market, so if you are in coffee and rides, this place is certainly for you. The outer seat area is also very large.

June 18 and June 25, 2021 updates. They have eliminated their outdoor seats in the parking lot, and it is only the benches along the side 3 small tables at the front. You now have a few tables in the front and rear interior and masking is optional. They continue to offer the excellent Avena Latte, and today I have it with milk instead of the proposed oat milk. It's still delicious! Here you will find details. 30 May 2021 Update I tried her flat white, this is the new 8 ounces latte in many barista places. But Intelligentsia makes it different, they add 4 ounces of milk only to the double shot of espresso, and it is in a smaller cup of about 6 ounces. So it is more towards a cortado, compared to many shops that make it a full 8 ounces. I had it with the shot of vanilla syrup and that took the edge of the hardness of espresso for me. Pretty delicious! 31 October 2021 Update I tried the excellent Avena Latte Seasonal Drink, the Black Cat Latte made with oat milk and seasoned with ginger, cinnamon, vanilla and orange peel. I have the optional scattering of Cayenne. I was skeptical for oat milk, but Barista said it was a core part of the drink so I accepted it. And the drink was excellent! The Cayenne initially bites hard and then becomes a beautiful background ring. I love the mix of spices as a beautiful autumn drink, and it is an unusual and tasty alternative to the typical pumpkin spice Latte offers. They have interior seats as well as the two beautiful outdoor seats and a few benches. My favourite is her mocha, which has a beautiful dry darker chocolate taste and is one of the best mochas in my area. I am also a big fan of her ham and cheese croissant from Forge bakery, which has seasoned everything on it. Very tasty and tasty and definitely best divided so you don't all these calories yourself! If you drive by car, your highway is a way to the north, from Mount Auburn Street to Belmont Street. I can often find parking in their 5 off-spots.

Support your local coffee shop! These folks know how to pull a espresso and offer a wide selection of local baked goods as well! Love the ambiance, can be a little cold in the back forty during the winter months.
