I came here because I saw it on too good to go, and I found it to be so lovely. Maria is friendly and the vibes are great. Between the bright walls, nice music and natural light, I definitely recommend spending time at this Cafe. There are places to lock your bike and discounts through Bicycle Benefits if you bike and have a sticker.

This place as a lot to offer to the neighborhood. Friendly staff and wide menu of items to choose from. The coffee is good and if look forward to exploring more of the baked goods in the future. I'm sure this place will be a neighborhood hotspot when the pandemic subsides.

During my visit yesterday while I was waiting for my car at Auto Plus, I stumbled upon Zaruma Gold Coffee, and what a delightful find it was! From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by the warm and professional lady, standing out for her exceptional service. The ambiance was just perfect for settling in with a good book or catching up with friends, offering a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Not only is their coffee top-notch, but their LAVENDER TEA is a soothing delight, and the egg sandwich is deliciously satisfying – a must-try for anyone visiting. It's the combination of great food, excellent drinks, and the overall positive vibes that make sitting here such a unique and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend Zaruma Gold Coffee for anyone looking to enjoy quality beverages, tasty treats, and a welcoming environment. It's clear that love and care go into every aspect of this place, making it a local favorite.

Russian Anthill cake or Muraveinik, Blinis, and more. There is no parking for this place (all residential or lots for other businesses), but if you’re fortunate enough to get here, there is much to enjoy!!! The server is incredibly kind and happy to share his culture and food, and the atmosphere is welcoming. There is a ramp on the side, and plenty of seats and tables with space to walk or roll. I recommend the MANY empanadas too!!! #russianfood #blinchiki #blinis #somervillema #accessforall #ehlersdanlosawareness

This little cafe is one of the new gems in the Boston area, in every aspect. It is clean, it is well decorated, it has a happy environment, it makes you relax, it makes you feel home. This is a place to enjoy a good coffee with an empanada, they also have pastries, desserts and a variety of fruits, and drinks. Did you like the coffee? Take it home! They sell the Ecuadorian coffee (whole beans and ground) and different souvenirs. I personally tried their coffee, two different empanadas, and I took a crepe cake prepared by the owners, I like them all. The cake was low in added sugar, which I love! I could taste the actual flavors. I stayed there for over an hour to feel the environment. Rocio and Vlad are great hosts; visit them and enjoy a moment at their lovely coffee place. Parking was a little tricky. I had to leave my car on Highland avenue and walk three blocks since all parking around the coffee are for residents only. Disclaimer: I know Rocio and Vlad for several years, however, that does not affect the honesty of my review.

Our first visit here and all of the great things we have heard about the service and food are true. Prices are reasonable for great quality goods and the outdoor seating on a warm November weekend day is a bonus. We will be regulars. Thank you!

Love this place. Why go to Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts when you could support an endeavor and a project like this? The food is always fun and different and interesting.

Me encanta este cafe ecuatoriano I ordered a medium cappuccino and a sausage egg and cheese. Prices are excellent and the interior is beautiful. I love the art and artisanal Ecuadorean items for sale. There are plenty of tables to work and the wifi is easy to connect to and reliable. Muchisimas gracias y nos vemos pronto!
