    Always lovely orchids on the tables.

    The Cafe really bookends a trip to Duke Farms... You could arrive early for breakfast before taking your walk or bike ride through the park. If you time it right, you'll be back to the Cafe for a well earned lunch. The menu has been updated recently, so not so scattered. My new favorite is the Avocado and Tomato sandwich. Comes with arugula and pickled onions, but I have them skip the arugula. Special orders do not upset them. Good selection of drinks, including coffees, and if you aren't there for a meal there's always plenty of baked goods or sweet/salty stuff for snacking. Staff has always been friendly, as with all the staff at the Farm. So what are you waiting for?

    No reviews for this place until now? It's time to respectfully change that! Do you know when you decide to pay exorbitant prices for low quality food at a messy eatery inside an over-hyped tourist attraction and be disappointed in the end? Well, don't expect to run into that experience here! The cafe is located inside the Orientation Center. They have a huge area of tables and chairs. Each table had a flower placed in the middle, which was cool. In the back, they have an area with a coffee table (also with a flower on top) and sofas with comfy chairs. Adult contemporary music played in the background at a low volume. They served sodas and bottles of water in the cooler, a limited amount of kettle-cooked potato chip bags from a shelf near the tablet cash register, and hot coffee from a pot. They even had a water bottle refill area for those who brought their own water in to drink with their purchased meals, which was a HUGE plus. Of course, we can't forget about their main focus - FOOD. From their chilled "Grab and Go" rack, freshly prepared salads and wraps were present. For those who wanted hot food, they served a limited selection of paninis and soups. We bought some items from the "Grab and Go" rack. We got two Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Wraps (in one package), and a Apple Pecan Salad With Grilled Chicken Breast to share. We also got a bag of premium kettle potato chips with sea salt to share. Once we got them and paid, we proceeded to enjoy. The Kettle Potato Chips were very crispy, and the sea salt made the taste even better. This was really good. The Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Wrap contained slices of white meat chicken, pieces of dried cranberries, slices of walnuts, some lettuce, and celery, combined with a cider vinegar dressing in a whole wheat wrap. The meat was white and tender, the lettuce wasn't wilted, and the dressing had a unique flavor. This tasted fresh and delicious, and was quite filling. I highly recommend this to anyone who's craving a good wrap. The Apple Pecan Salad With Grilled Chicken Breast contained Organic Gala Apple slices, pecans, bleu cheese crumbles & dried cranberry pieces over organic field greens. The Balsamic Dressing was included separately (which I didn't care about). Based on some of the ingredients, I could see why the price was a little high. This was due to the bleu cheese crumbles and the organic ingredients utilized for this salad. But this was totally worth it. The lettuce was crisp, the cheese tasted great, and the apple slices were very refreshing. The pecans and dried cranberry pieces made the taste even better. The grilled chicken breast was tender and juicy. Just like the salad wrap, all of this appeared and tasted fresh. I highly recommend this to anyone who's craving something healthy for lunch. The service here was excellent. All of the employees had a pleasant attitude. When we asked for another container of salad dressing to take home, the manager happily gave one to us. Earlier, we asked for a little sample of the soup of the day, and he provided us one too. Even though we appreciated that, we still opted for the items from the "Grab and Go" rack. The entire cafe appeared to be clean, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Overall this was an excellent experience. Because of this place, there was no need for us to look somewhere else to eat along the US-206 corridor. If you ever feel like supporting Duke Farms, yet feeling hungry at the same time for some great food, then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here. Cheers! :)

    Wow. After a GREAT morning at Duke Farms (our first trip .. and we'll be back!!), I wanted to try lunch at the cafe located in the Orientation Center. The food was great as were the people working there. Like everything else at Duke Farms, the cafe is done "right". My wife and I split sandwich/salad, which along with lemonade was $21 and worth every penny. Even though we split it, there was plenty of food and it was excellent. The sandwich (turkey, brie, arugula, sliced pear, balsamic glaze) on multi-grain wheat bread was plenty for two of us as was the salad (arugula, blue cheese, pecans and blueberries. The blueberries were SO fresh. When I asked about them I found they were grown from their gardens outside the door of the cafe. To top it off, our table was centered by a beautiful orchid, which I imagine came directly from the Duke Farms' fabulous Orchid Range. The cafe is super-eco-friendly which we also appreciated. Even their plates and utensils are decomposable. If you don't have time to explore Duke Farms, still stop by as the cafe is worth your visit!

    Wonderful farm-to -table cafe. Very green, with recyclable paper plates and a compost bin for compostables. Deeeelicious.

    Beautiful and healthy cafe!

    Amazing cafe and espresso. This site has so much history, 2700+ acres to get outside, get into their educational center too.

    The patio is sunny!

    It felt amazing to cool off at the Farm Barn Cafe after a sweaty 2 hour bike ride throughout Duke Farms.

    Met a friend at Bliss. Love getting lost in the comfortable environment with a hot rich coffee…read more Yesterday I splurged and had one of the special cookies(not on my diet). The staff are very kind and professional. I think the nature of neighborhood coffee shops tends to promote social interactions but with an option to isolate with a book or a laptop. Bliss is that comfortable place.

    I've been meaning to dine here. The first attempt was last year but unfortunately we came around…read more1:30pm on a weekday and they told us that the kitchen was already closed so we had to find another lunch spot. Finally I tried again and this second time I was able to try some of their offerings. I came on a Saturday and they were hosting DayLite Jersey House Music event. It was LOUD and packed with people just standing around. The vibes were cool though. My friends came before me and were able to snag a table in the back room. I went up to the counter to order. Unfortunately my first choice, a matcha latte, was sold out. I asked if they had any other options because I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I was told that there were flavored lemonades, I asked the about the flavors and the person who was helping me wasn't sure so they went and asked another person who ended up coming to list the syrups and just ringing me out. I ordered a blueberry lemonade and a blueberry pop-tart to go. Everything was fine until the end of our time there. As we were getting ready to leave I grabbed what I thought was my cup and took a quick sip to finish it off so I didn't have to carry it around. Turns out I grabbed a coffee from the table instead. I thought it was my friend's so I apologized to her about drinking her drink because I didn't realize I grabbed the wrong one in the dark. She goes, "oh no it's not my drink...I have mine in my hand." I'm like whose drink and dishes are these? She said that they were there before they got there and they just pushed it to the side. Omg I almost gagged, I just took the biggest sip of some random person's drink by accident. At that point I get up to go to the bathroom to rinse out my mouth. While I'm gone by friends get their things ready and also wait outside the bathroom, which is right by our table. As soon as I get out I walk back to grab my pop-tart and it was gone, cleared away by the staff in a matter of minutes. Crazy that they left the table with dishes and cups when we got there but when we were leaving they were in a rush to clear away everything that they take my basically full pop-tart too. I was so defeated at that point I just left. To note, I did take one bite of the pop-tart and it was actually very good. My lemonade was fine, nice and tart. Overall service is kinda lacking but it was also a crazy day to visit with an event going on so I can't really comment on how they are normally. I don't think I will back because I don't know if I can recover from swigging some rando's drink.

What we ordered: - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Pandan Macaron We enjoyed both of our items. The service was interesting. I can't say that it's quite a negative or a positive. Since it was our first time there, we took some time to look at the menu and came with questions when we ordered. I saw that they have a matcha latte on the menu but nowhere did I see any specials or what syrups could be added to the matcha. Because of this, I asked the person checking us out if they had any syrups and if they could be added to the drinks. He listed off the syrups (vanilla, hazelnut, etc) and also included a "strawberry puree" in the list. So I considered that and said I would order it with the strawberry puree. The woman who was making the drinks beside him then said something along the lines of "so you're ordering a strawberry matcha latte". Like I was suppose to know that and order that way. I responded "yeah, I guess so but is that on the menu because I don't see it". Then she confirmed it's not on the menu. I didn't know if it would cost more or if it wasn't suppose to be included as a syrup or if she was training him. It was just an odd interaction rubbed me the wrong way though and left an uncomfortable feeling for me. We were going to enjoy our stuff there but after that we decided to take it to go. I'm not sure if I will return as it is not a local spot for us and we made a special visit out there to try it. My drink was good and the macaron was also yummy. I would recommend it regardless because their stuff is good and my interaction could just be a one off.

    Stopped by before the ambee yelp event to grab some treats as I am almost never in the somerville…read morearea Small space but very colorful and purple! (My fav color) Tons of ube and pandan and coconut goodies that go beyond your basic desserts, it truly was so hard to choose. My family doesn't eat eggs and I wanted to bring back something for them and the girl at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful at directing me towards suitable desserts. Also love that it seemed like a small family owned operation I opted for the calamansi drink which was perfect for a 90 degree spring day and a pandan coconut pudding to bring home. I wish the pudding was a bit less sweet (I tend to dislike overly sweet things) but overall, this is the most extensive filipino dessert place I've found in the tri- state area and I will be back if I'm around somerville again

Everything here is lovingly crafted by Kathy, the owner, who makes items from scratch, including their ice cream. You can truly taste the difference: fresh ube, no artificial flavors. Just pure goodness. Kathy and her husband take great pride in their Filipino menu, offering a variety of delightful treats centered around the beloved purple yam. Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is ube, and why is it so popular? Contrary to popular belief, ube isn't a fruit. It's actually a purple sweet potato that's highly sought after in the Philippines. If you love taro, you'll love ube even more. It's a staple in many Filipino desserts and dishes, known for its rich flavor and vibrant color. If you're in search of delectable drinks and cookies, this is your spot. Their signature ube drinks range from floats and lattes to coffees, milk teas, and even ice cream. All with delicious bits of real ube in every sip. Not in the mood for ube? No problem. They offer a wide variety of options, including their Pinoy series, pandan drinks, Milo drinks, matcha, cold brews, and more. And I have to mention, they now serve Vietnamese coffee, Filipino-style. It's pure heaven in a 16 oz cup. The shop itself has great lighting, perfect for IG, Yelp photos, or even vlogging. Just note that seating is very limited.
