I’ve been coming here for years and always loved the place, a nice neighborhood coffee shop. We walk here pretty much every weekend with our dog for a latte and a hecto or becto. But things have been different lately, consistently long wait and wrong orders. This is the large decaf oat milk latte I ordered. With 3 staff present and 1 person awaiting his drink in front of me, it took them 10mins to make the WRONG drink. I didn’t get the oat milk I paid for and it tasted like warm skim milk. The color says it all… I’m so disappointed. We loved this place and the old staff was so friendly and made great drinks… what happened?!

One of the best coffee shops around Somerville. They have awesome coffee. I recommend trying their Iced Vietnamese coffee. Their cold brew is also really good. They make delicious sandwiches and muffins too. Finally, they even sell some good coffee beans for a pretty nice price.
Also recommend their egg sandwiches on a bagel. And wonderful pumpkin chip muffins. Both featured in my photos. Highly, highly recommend. The only thing they're missing is a way to order ahead. There's a little bit of a wait sometimes (understandable - labor and supply chain shortages) but that could be migrated by having an order ahead option via toast or another online service.

I love True Grounds. I've lived in the area for a couple years and have been a regular here throughout the pandemic, and it's always rock-solid. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't speak to that, but their chai lattes are miraculously not overly sweet (which is why I don't like chai lattes from 90% of the cafes that make them). The food is delicious and consistent. The space is cute and homey, with just the right amount of time worn-ness. The people working there are always friendly and efficient. All in all, a great local coffee spot, I hope they stay in business forever!

I've been coming to True Grounds for years, and can't say enough good things about the food and service. However today takes the cake (or bagel in this case)! My girlfriend and I come here most weeks to get breakfast sandwiches (the sunny spread is amazing), but this week she couldn't have a bagel because of Passover. The staff went out of their way to give us a to-go container with spread so that she could put it on matzoh! If I could rate them 10/5 stars I would.

Spinach croissant was delicious and flakey with just enough butter. Yumm!

This is a great coffee spot. Been going for a couple years and what I appreciate most about them, specifically recently, is how open and honest they have been with price increases and staff changes. Times are hard right now but this spot does the right thing and serves great coffee!

Quant little spot with about 12 small tables. No wifi. Good bagels and good coffee!

My favorite local coffee shop — great food, great drinks, friendly staff. Weird wall colors. Still 5 stars!
