The Sink
44 Professors Row, Medford, MA
Crema's Take
“The Sink is a delightful surprise in Medford, serving expertly pulled espresso drinks alongside satisfying breakfast sandwiches and pastries, with a small-but-mighty setup that somehow manages to feel both quick-grab friendly and inviting for lingering conversation. What sets them apart is their commitment to quality coffee from specialty roasters like Veracruz, paired with genuinely warm service that keeps customers coming back—even the few who've wished they'd dial back the packaging waste. Whether you're stopping by for a perfectly executed cappuccino or settling in with your laptop for the morning, this cozy neighborhood spot punches well above its size.”

In my never ending quest of finding good espresso when I travel, this place surprised me as I’ve been in this area before and knew there was nothing decent. El Localito, serving coffee from Veracruz, Mexico (the capital of Mexican coffee) hits the spot! I had a delicious Flat White and saw a beautiful cortado being served. Update: Came back and got the cortado this time. This place is a must for coffee lovers!
We walked in Saturday morning and there was a bit of a crowd. They were able to process the queue quickly and I was surprised by the amount of seating they provided given the size of the cafe. The egg sandwiches were delightful, and the lattes we got (matcha & a london fog) were just right too. We'll definitely be frequenting!
Great spot. I enjoyed my egg sandwich, even though maybe too much sauce associated with it, great cappuccino and good pastries. Service was superb. The only change I'd hope to see - less packaging. Unnecessary container for my sandwich.
So happy this coffee shop opened—and the coffee is actually GOOD! I ordered a small soy latte and a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. The latte was excellent; the medium roast beans were fresh, and they use the right kind of soy milk that doesn't scald (a common but frustrating problem elsewhere). The sandwich was simple but satisfying: flavorful bacon and a perfectly toasted, crunchy croissant. Highly recommend!
Great local coffee shop in Medford. The place is small but cute, with a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your drink. The coffee, especially their specialty options, was very good. I had a latte and it is on par with other good coffee places like Nero and Blank Street. They will be expanding their menu and food offerings soon. I wish them good luck!
