Wanted to add to the review from 7/28/2021 about slightly shady business practices by warning…read morepeople that this store intentionally does not put prices on their beer. (Not sure about anything else, I've only ever bought beer here.) These days beer can be $14 for 4 or $25 for 4 and it would be nice to know how much things are before you purchase them. But you can't here. Obviously they are trying to get people to spend more than they would otherwise through this practice. I asked the people behind the counter about this and they made a bunch of excuses (we change our stock too frequently), but I was like, "every other liquor store can do this?" Turns out not displaying the price of items is actually illegal according to Attorney General's Item Pricing Regulation 940 C.M.R. 3.13. Will not be patronizing again.

Typical overpriced liquor store in an expensive part of Boston in the west suburbs right off of Commonwealth. I don't drink so I don't care how overpriced it is - I just came here for some water. But if you're coming here for liquor, it might be a little out of your price range. Then again you're on Yelp so you're probably not poor. Lol. But it's still a good store because I know a lot of you love to drink and these stores are invaluable to you then basically. Pretty good selection too, and friendly enough.

C'est Bon is a great little convenience store in Harvard Square. It is very conveniently located…read morenext to the Harvard Square Red Line stop, and I often stop by when I need some beer or liquor. Prices are on the expensive side, but fairly standard for Harvard Square prices. They have the customary selection of beers, wines, liquors, and mixers, but they also have a section of Harvard apparel (like T-shirts, sweatshirts) and Harvard memorabilia (like keychains, mugs, coasters, etc), so it is a great place to also pick up some souvenirs while you are shopping for your beer! I also like that they sell accessories to complement your drinking, like plastic martini glasses and plastic shot glasses for a party. Their hours online might not necessarily reflect when you are able to buy alcohol. I walked in after 11pm one night and even though they were still open, I was told that they cannot sell alcohol after 11pm (not sure if that is only on specific nights or if this is a nightly rule).

Second biggest: non-existent customer service, just clerks at the register. There have been a lot of changes here since the new owners took over. Most have been fine. They did clean up and mitigated the smell, which probably took an enormous amount of work, so that was good. Prices seem only slightly higher than before. I'm not going back. No one wants hot wine.

Funniest liquor store outing in a while means 4 stars for this place…read more We were dressed up as Michelle Obama, Big Bird, and Binders full of Women when we came in here to grab some beer on our way to a halloween party and AJ, the best cashier ever, could not stop talking about how much he promised that Obama would win the election and how much Indians as a whole love Obama, etc. He said we could come back and celebrate with him in the store when he wins, so AJ be prepared come Nov 7th! We will be there! But this small liquor store has pretty good prices and it is good to know about since there aren't many others right in that general area. $6.99 for a six pack of Long Trail is pretty darn good! And then if you want to be even classier, a twelve pack of coors light for a little more than that! ha ha Thanks Somerville Wine and Spirits for making our Halloween night even more entertaining.

I found ice for $1.99 for a 7 lb bag which was much more reasonable than Kroger. There were 2 employees in the store and both were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I was the only customer in the store so one even went into the cooler, grabbed the case I needed and carried it to the cash register for me. The cashier was extremely nice, and we carried on a great conversation for a few minutes. I did not find the price of the beer to be that much over the cost that I would have paid at Kroger and I got to support a local business. I am not in the habit of buying liquor, but I would not hesitate to go to this business again if needed.

Michael. Michael is simply a genius when it comes to wine and the insights that he shares with his customers are fascinating and incredibly helpful. I've walked away each time with a greater appreciation and understanding of wine in general, and have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. This has quickly become my "go-to" store and you'd be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgable as Michael. Importantly, you'll walk out knowing you made a quality purchase without having exceeded your budget, and that's always a recipe for success. Go, and ask for Michael - you won't regret it.
