New England Coffee Cafe and Store
108 Charles St, Medford, MA
Crema's Take
“This Medford roastery gem keeps things refreshingly simple and honest, serving impressively fresh coffee at prices that feel like a relic from a better time—small iced coffees under $2.50 are still possible here. Lisa and her team have created the kind of neighborhood spot where you're treated like family, whether you're grabbing a subtly flavored Dubai chocolate iced coffee and a buttery croissant or picking up beans by the pound to take home. It's the kind of place that proves you don't need complicated syrups or Instagram-bait presentations to deliver genuinely delicious coffee and the warm, welcoming experience that keeps people coming back as part of their daily routine.”

Had a Dubai chocolate iced coffee and a croissant. Amazing! The coffee is subtly flavored, and the croissant was light and buttery. Service was warm and welcoming. Plus it's only a short walk from the T.
Fresh from the roastery! Simple no nonsense coffee. The coffee tasted really fresh! You get a few pastries such as muffins and croissants.
Lisa and staff are amazing and an integral part of my morning routine! She makes you feel like family, and is always smiling! Always has delicious iced coffee flavors fresh and ready to serve!
Hidden gem! There are no places left in Boston where you can get a Small, Medium, or Large iced coffee for under $2.50. They have a ton of flavored coffee (sprayed then brewed, not flavored with syrup after brewing) and 4 different flavors of iced coffee on tap (cream and sugar are all out so you can help yourself). The ambiance is very laid-back and relaxed: The barista really wanted me to not hurry and take my time! There aren't many unhurried places like this, with vibey old-school music, to just chill anymore. Oh, and it smells delicious inside! Will definitely be coming back! Protect this place!
Wide selection of coffee to choose from to buy by the pound, and a good amount of prepared coffee "on tap" for either iced or hot coffee to enjoy there or take to go. Friendly people, and good prices. Flavors rotate out consistently for the prepared "on tap" coffee, with a good selection of seasonal flavors. Ample seating, be it a table or bar style seating looking outside through the window. Closed Saturday and Sunday. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying different flavor beans to buy by the pound!
