Nine Bar Espresso
11 Holland St, Somerville, MA
Crema's Take
“Nine Bar Espresso is a walk-up window gem in Davis Square that specializes in thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks, from their signature lavender latte to creative seasonal offerings, all prepared with care by baristas who nail the fundamentals. Their oat milk lattes and inventive flavor combinations earn consistent praise, though the experience is decidedly grab-and-go (open 8-3 most days), making it perfect for a quick coffee and pastry rather than lingering. The community clearly loves this spot for its reliable quality and neighborhood charm, even as regulars express nostalgia for the days when you could actually sit inside to savor what they've made.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Wonderful latte with oat milk! Take out from walk-up window only, open most days from 8-3. Some bagel and pastry choices. My favorite coffee shop, it’s in busy Davis Square.
We love stopping at 9 bar when doing any outing in Davis! Our favorite is the lavender latte, with half sweetener. It’s consistently great!
Really wish they would re-open to allow patrons to sit down inside to enjoy their drink/pastry (but no laptops), especially now that it’s getting chillier. It was beautiful inside. It was what a café should be, and less like a drive-thru since the pandemic.
Nice little coffee shop in Davis Square that we found when it was highlighted on channel 5’s Chronicle show. We got in just before the place was closing on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered a regular coffee and a vanilla latte but we’d like to come back and try some of the food…
