Ambee Coffee is a great spot to meet up with friends or just relax and unwind. I love that they offer ample outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade, as well as cozy seating inside. Their menu features some really cool options, and their specialty drinks are clearly fan favorites. I couldn't decide between the coconut ube latte and the guava matcha latte, but I went with the latter and was thoroughly pleased! It had the perfect blend of tropical fruity flavor from the guava, and the matcha was spot on since it was smooth and not at all grassy. The staff was very pleasant, and my drink was prepared quickly yet with great care. I can't wait to go back soon and try some of their baked goods, which all looked divine! read more

Best coffee in downtown Somerville! Ambee's coffee is consistently excellent, and they make a cappuccino the way it should be. Perfectly balanced and not too much milk. It's one of those places where you know exactly what you're going to get every time, and the quality never disappoints. Their baked goods are also delicious. They have some of the best gluten-free cookies I've found at a coffee shop. I also tried the gluten-free scone--it was good, though I'd definitely recommend having it warmed up. The cookies are still my favorite GF option. The café itself is cute, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It has a fun, trendy atmosphere, although it can get pretty busy and loud during peak hours, so it isn't always the ideal place if you're looking for a quiet spot to work. I also have to give credit to their branding and marketing. Their social media is genuinely some of the best I've seen from a local business. The photography, videos, and product launches are always beautifully done, and even the coffee cup design is stylish and instantly recognizable. It's clear they put a lot of thought into every aspect of the customer experience. I've also been to their Warren location, which is just as good. It feels a bit larger and more spacious while maintaining the same great coffee and welcoming vibe. I've heard they're opening a location in Flemington, and I'm so excited! If it's anything like their Somerville and Warren cafés, it'll be a fantastic addition to the area. read more

Enjoyed sitting inside and getting some work done. It was very crowded when I arrived, so I sat at the long shared space until a table opened up. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, so I opted for the iced hibiscus tea, which was so refreshing on a hot day! read more

Cute cafe that offers a lot of space to be able to do some work. Street parking can be tough but it's super close to the public parking lot off the main road. Cafe does get super busy & seating can be limited depending on the time you go especially during lunch time. Drinks were good & the pastry we tried was great! read more

Great place, staff super friendly. Not just your ordinary coffee joint they have wellness drinks to support your body. I tried their tumeric infused Golden Latte and collagen Blushing Beet Latte, they were both delicious. I think I liked the blushing beet latte the most which surprised me being huge tumeric fan! Their baked goods are baked in their Warren store and brought over daily. Place is bright and clean. Has WiFi and ample seating to be able to work, meet friends or just chill read more

Ambee is the best. I love their tea and matcha, but more importantly, I love the service and the staff. They are incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to their customers. No matter how busy the store gets, the staff works exceptionally hard to deliver an exceptional experience for customers and it's appreciated. The cafe is always a vibe and I enjoy spending time in the space because it's welcoming and inspiring. Huge shout out to the whole Ambee crew. Ya'll are the MVP's in the coffee game. Keep up the great work. read more

What a cute neighborhood!! Was walking around on a nice sunny winter morning and decided to stop in. I loved the layout of this coffee shop, there was a lot of tables and a communal sitting table down the middle of the shop. I got a hot white mocha ube latte with almond milk and it was delicious! I love ube. Ube is a flavor that I never see at coffee shops near me. They also have a nice selection of baked goods. I didn't try any of those as I had already had breakfast and just came for a drink. I definitely will be going back to try another drink and a baked good next time! read more

Ambee Coffee was so delicious that I had to go back multiple days in a row. From the pastries to the coffee, to the service and the overall ambiance, the whole experience was perfect. Both the vanilla latte and Nutella latte were a favorite of mine. The monkey bread warmed up was delicious, gooey, and moist and the croissant practically melted in your mouth. The coffee cake was also a highlight the second day. The prices were fair and all the pastries looked delectable. Located in a cute, small town, it was perfect to reach by foot. It also looked like they had open mic night and carried other healthy brands and snacks, like protein bars. read more

Whenever I'm feeling peckish, this is my go to for a nibble and a drink. The service is fast and the baristas are always helpful if you're not sure what to get. For me, I don't enjoy a beverage too sweet so they adjust the syrup level. I noticed outlets for those who need to work on their laptops. I also found little vases with a few flowers or little tchotchkes throughout the cafe. It's the little things that adds up for beautiful and serene vibe. On certain nights, they do have open-mic so sign up and have some fun! read more

All I have to say is YUMMMM. I visited Ambee for the first time with a coworker yesterday and was immediately impressed with the ambiance of the shop. It's clean, cozy, and the service is wonderful! I went with the iced blushing beet latte and loved it so much, I went back today and got a large lolll. 10/10 recommend. I will absolutely be back! read more

I got their everything bagel, but it's more like whole grain to me but it was tasty! I got the banana bread latte and it is also soo good. I love banana or s'mores anything and everything.

While in Somerville for a yelp drop in event we passed Ambee coffee and I immediately wanted to go in. I just started getting into lattes (I've never been a coffee drinker) so trying new cafes has been a fun experience lately. It's funny that i had a latte in mind, because I opted for the Blushing Beet from their Wellness Menu. I was intrigued by the combination of flavors- honey, lavendar and oatmilk. It sounded up my alley, aside from the beet, so I asked the barista about it and she was so helpful and friendly. So I ordered the pretty pink wellness drink and my husband ordered a latte. Both were amazing and actually quite unique. It's a very understated and hip vibe here. Despite being full of people it was pretty quiet and seems like a nice option for working remote when you need a change of scenery. read more

In December, I got the chance to participate in a Yelp Elite Experience included December for the Ambee Coffee Co location in Warren. That experience wasn't my favorite, but I figured I'd give the Somerville location a try. This location definitely looks and feels smaller than the one in Warren. However, the staff here were way nicer. One reason why I wanted to give Ambee Coffee another try is because I don't drink coffee. Funny, right? The thing I like about Ambee Coffee is that they have several options for us non-coffee drinkers. They even include non-coffee options in their seasonal drink menus. Another reason why I like Ambee Coffee is because they use a lot of organic and healthier ingredients in their drinks and food. During this visit, I got their spring seasonal drink, a blueberry matcha. I loved the pretty presentation of it with its layers of color. The drink was good. It wasn't super sweet and it was just the pick-me-up that I needed. Overall, I give 4.5 stars, but rounded it up to 5. read more

This is actually my 2nd time stopping here. A small, but busy place. It just has good vibes & good energy....if that makes sense. Friendly baristas, quality coffee & teas, also vegan & organic options. It's a winner all around! It's literally on Main St, but that does mean parking can be a small nuisance. Metered street parking where you can find, & a few pay lots nearby. Great spot! read more

This is easily one of the best coffee spots in Somerville. Great coffee, solid service, and the music is almost always on point. But recently, they changed the aesthetic. The redesign itself is actually an upgrade--but the new uniforms are not. The baristas now wear these branded T-shirts that make the place feel way more corporate, like it's trying to be Starbucks... which is exactly what this place never was. Part of the charm used to be the people--their style, their personality, their vibe. Now it all feels a little stripped down and generic. The uniforms just come off as cheesy and out of place, and honestly, they kill some of the spirit that made this spot stand out in the first place. read more

I had a pistachio milk matcha latte and it was amazing! Truly the best one I have ever had. We also got the turkey fig and Brie sandwich which they heated up, it was good! The service was good and fast. I wish the space was a little more cozy, had some cushioned seats because that's more of my vibe but it's a great spot to work or have a get together. Pistachio milk option was a game changer for me, I'll definitely be stopping here any time I'm in the area. They have some great healthy snack options as well as bakery items. They even had matcha covered almonds! My friend had a cortado with pistachio milk too, delish. read more

Bright and bustling with activity, Ambee Coffee Co is a great stimulant in addition to their coffee! I've been to the Ambee in Warren for a Yelp Experience and this place is probably half the size but so much more livelier! Even the baristas are friendlier and smile more. A good assortment of food to choose from. I chose a Cheddar Scallion Scone and for my drink, I got the White Chocolate Ube Latte with oatmilk and with the sweetness dialed way down. The latter was AMAZING! The scone was good with all the layers of cheese and buttery goodness but that drink, OH MY GOD!!! read more

Super cute coffee spot in town!! Came here after a day in Somerville and was obsessed with the place. I will definitely have to make stops here more often. I wasn't in the mood for coffee so I opted for the Blushing Beet latte off of the wellness menu. Loved the idea of all the clean ingredients and was intrigued by a latte with beet and it was SO good. I don't even know if I'll be able to try something else next time I come in because this latte really did it for me!! I was genuinely so impressed. I should note that my friend was not a fan of her matcha, but everything else about Ambee was incredible!! The decor inside is also so cute and well thought out. I would love to come in and see some music being played one day! Great vibe, I'll definitely be back! read more

First time visiting Ambee Coffee and had a great experience! We came in quite early one Saturday morning (only a few minutes from their opening time) and i guess that was key! Lol town was still peaceful with no crowds yet and so was the cafe. Inside felt brand new and decor was a vibe. It was cool that they have a live band (not that early of course) and they also have outdoor seating. They only have limited eats though unlike the other branch- only pastries and cookies, which is totally fine. The barista during our visit was wonderful - pleasant, accommodating and made cute latte arts! Hubster, as usual, had a plain latte and I had their cherry ube. It was pretty good. I still like my ube latte "pinoy style" but this was different and I like trying new things with lattes. The Everything croissant with cream cheese was delicious and the cheddar jalapeño scone too! Im not a big scone eater but the one they have here are enjoyable. The cookies were definitely a nice treat too! This cafe is a drive but we're glad we came to visit. I would absolutely love to come back! read more

This place is so bad every time I go like last time I went I got strawberry cold foam on my matcha and it was literally SOUR I made my friend try it and she almost threw up.

This was our group's first time here. This cafe is cute. Great interior decoration, good spot to study, do work, or to meet friends. I ordered a brown butter cookie and hot matcha latte. The brown butter cookie was scrumptious - nice flavor, a decent size. The matcha latte was okay. I saw it on their online menu, but not the in-store menu. Unfortunately this latte was more lukewarm than hot. I wonder if they just threw this into the microwave for :30. The flavor wasn't there for me either - it more so sat at the top of the cup which was only filled a little more than halfway. I also checked in on Yelp and showed the $2 off offer to the cashier and he half acknowledged it and didn't honor it. Again, unfortunate. My friend ordered the lavender lemonade which neither she nor her husband finished because it was way too sour. There are plenty of other coffee shops on this downtown strip that might be more worth trying! read more

A really cute coffee shop right in the middle of main street. I enjoy coming here. I've tried a lot of there drinks but ultimately, my favorite is an espresso. Their beans are so good that I actually brew at home as well. I really enjoy their medium and light roast. This is also a great place to work and is Dog Friendly. In addition, I love that they give away their used Coffee grounds. They are perfect for people are are into plants and can use them for their garden. read more

Ambee Coffee - Salted caramel cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Somerville, New Jersey

A very cute coffee shop in the heart of downtown Somerville. There's street parking or a lot walking distance. The spot is very chill. We were able to get a table no problem. The barista was super sweet, we were a party of four with two kids and was very patient with us. We got the maple Ube latte, nitro cold brew, hot chocolate. Pastries that we got were almond croissant, butter croissant, cheddar scallion scone, cold brew coffee donut and apple cider donut. I got the maple Ube latte, usually the Ube is very sweet and has an overpowering taste but this was very subtle which I love! I was very excited to try the cold brew coffee donut and I wish I got more of it. It's a must try! read more

Check in on Yelp for $2 off your order!!! I've gotten the Colombian and Honduran coffee as well as the caramel latte here. The coffee is very rich and flavorful, latte is perfectly sweet. Their almond croissants are delicious too! Request yours toasted. There's a nice variety on the menu with your typical standard coffee and espresso drinks plus a nice addition of matcha lattes, kombucha, and a London fog type drink with earl grey tea and oat milk if you're into that! The baked goods look good too. The Speculoos cookie is next on my list to try. Staff is friendly and the cafe is always clean. Prices are high (over $4 for a large Colombian coffee), but quality is much better than coffee chains like DD or Starbucks. Plus supporting local is the way to go :) Street parking is metered and often times hard to find. read more

The best place for coffee and homemade pastries in Somerville! Ambee Coffee Co. (formerly known as Lucid Coffee Co.) is a purveyor of organic artisan-quality hot or iced beverages and baked goods that provides a terrific independently-minded alternative in downtown Somerville to Starbucks' corporate siren. The modern aesthetic of the Somerville location is warm and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, friendly and knowledgeable staff that are happy to offer their recommendations without sounding pretentious, and free WiFi for those who need to get some work done or seek a temporary distraction from those around them. Ambee also provides an intimate venue for local musicians to perform, with an acoustic guitarist playing an eclectic mix of covers and original modern rock on a Sunday afternoon when a friend and I stopped in for a coffee. The taste and quality of the beverages - including a variety of coffees from mundane drip coffees to more complex, perfectly executed creations of -cinos and lattes that are available with dairy milk or non-dairy milk alternatives - and the cozy yet modern ambiance do come at a price, which are somewhat higher than the other purveyors of the elixir of the gods in the area, but it's worth it to me (as it should be to you). I enjoyed a London Fog ($6), a tea-based drink made with earl grey tea and oat milk and jasmine, that was very tasty and served hot. PRO TIP: Ambee Coffee doesn't have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of on-street metered parking and parking in the municipal parking lots off Main Street. Bring change or use your credit card for the meters ($1/hour) before 7pm Monday through Saturday. read more
