O'Some Cafe
100 Main St, Watertown, MA
Crema's Take
“O'Some Cafe is a cozy Watertown spot that punches way above its size with creative Asian-inspired drinks like black sesame and strawberry matcha lattes that customers rave about. Beyond the excellent coffee itself, they've built a loyal following for house-made pastries and specialty sweets—think matcha cream-filled chiffon cake and savory cruffins—making it worth the trip for anyone seeking flavors beyond the typical coffee shop menu.”

$4.50 for a very small plain croissant that tasted like it had been sitting in the display case for at least four days. The Costco croissants are more fresh and delicious! I won’t be coming back, although the barista was friendly.
Great coffee and some amazing pastries / muffins etc. got the ham and cheese cruffin which was awesome along with a vegan blueberry crumble muffin that was also awesome. Coffee was great. Will be back
Cozy little coffee shop that leans into trendy Asian-style lattes and house-made sweets. Recently dropped by and tried their Black Sesame Latte and Dalgona Latte. Both were great. The black sesame latte had a mellow, nutty sweetness that lingered pleasantly. The Dalgona latte felt more like a creamy dalgona milk, without being cloying. No weird dalgona chunks, no bitterness—just smooth, nostalgic comfort (at least for me who grew up eating these in elementary school). They also had some house-baked desserts on display. I grabbed a Vanilla Madeleine fresh out of the oven, and it was one of the best I’ve had in a while—crispy edges, soft and pillowy center, subtly sweet. They also offer chiffon cakes, though those require a two-day preorder (was told that they might randomly have it on some days). Definitely planning to come back to try those.
Tiny shop with big flavors!!! My oat milk matcha with strawberry was delicious, and I had a fluffy, rice-flour (gluten-free) chiffon cake filled with red beans and a topped with a matcha cream. Delicious!!! They also have tiny cookie samples of their shortbread cookies. There are two seats along a bar at the window. The place is wholly accessible and local people post their businesses here so it has a very neighborhood feel to it!
🔥☕ I was presently surprised by how delicious the iced latte here was. This is one of the best lattes I've had in a while. So far I've stopped at 7 coffee shops in the Boston area and this one had the best coffee. Update: stopped in one more time before heading out of town. Excellent. Hole in the wall third wave coffee shop, for taking your coffee in the go (but two stools remain if you want to take a seat). The espresso was a lighter roast with excellent notes. Fresh made pastries was very good as well. Blueberry lemon scone and banana bread are great. Vanilla lattes use simple syrup with some vanilla bean powder. Unique and great.
