Barismo
171 Massachusetts Ave, Arlington, MA
Crema's Take
“This cozy Arlington spot roasts its own beans on-site and shines with expertly pulled espresso drinks served by genuinely friendly baristas in a compact space that's perfect for a quick, quality coffee or a leisurely sit with a pastry. The outdoor seating is a real gem when weather permits, drawing regulars who come for the bright, plant-filled atmosphere as much as the carefully crafted coffee and fresh baked goods. While the intimate setting means limited room to linger, it's exactly the kind of neighborhood roastery that rewards repeat visits and rewards loyalty with genuine care.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
