New Leaf Espresso
310 Highland Ave, Medford, MA
Crema's Take
“New Leaf Espresso is a wonderfully unconventional spot that doubles as a barbershop, creating a genuinely cool and welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Their baristas craft exceptional specialty drinks with creative touches—think cardamom bitters lattes and SF mint cold brew—while their partnership with a top local bakery means you're getting pastries that actually deserve the coffee they're paired with. The staff's infectious friendliness and the shop's chill, unique vibe make it feel less like a transaction and more like stepping into a space where you're genuinely wanted.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

If you're confused when you walk up its both a barber and coffee shop! The atmosphere is really nice, their iced mocha is great, and I got a fantastic doughnut! Highly recommended! (They do not have wifi as far as I'm aware fyi)
Super friendly service, chill unique atmosphere, great specialty drinks, partnered with one of best bakeries around Somerville — what’s not to like? Look forward to becoming a regular. This shop has gone under our radar for too long and very much deserves to make it big!
