Pound House
703 Broadway St, Somerville, MA
Crema's Take
“Pound House is a Vietnamese café in Somerville that takes both coffee and matcha seriously, refusing to water down their ingredients—their Vietnamese coffee and creamy Iced Egg Coffee are legitimately legendary among regulars. Beyond the exceptional espresso drinks, they've built a devoted following for their matcha (if you like it strong and unapologetic, this is the place) and their banh mi, which customers rave about enough to convert non-coffee drinkers into repeat visitors. The energy here is genuine and busy, with items regularly selling out by early afternoon, so arrive early to experience what's earned them a devoted neighborhood following.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew.

My sister has been telling me about Pound House Coffee's Iced Egg Coffee for months, so I had to try it when I came into Boston. Happy to say it 100% lives up to the hype! The Iced Egg Coffee is delicious. Eat a spoonful of the egg foam and then sip the coffee for a decadent…
It was my first time visiting this place, and my girlfriend ordered the matcha. According to her, it was one of the best matchas she has ever had. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, which was delicious — I’ll definitely come back for the food and more coffee. The place is medium…
