Cafe On The Common
677 Main St, Watertown, MA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Watertown spot feels like a time capsule of the classic American coffee house, with marble-topped tables and a sunny, inviting atmosphere that regulars keep coming back for. Seth and his team pour genuine care into both their espresso-focused drinks and organic coffee alongside a thoughtful menu of perfectly executed breakfast sandwiches and bagels, making it the kind of place where you can linger for hours with friends or settle in alone with your laptop. It's the rare local gem that honors tradition while delivering the kind of consistently excellent coffee and hospitality that makes you want to support it fiercely.”

Some of the best coffee around, Organic as well. Seth the manager is amazing and his customer service is outstanding. The couches and tables are perfect for gathering with friends or just enjoying some you time. Best hang out in town.
Really nice classic dinner. I trully miss when places like this dotted the east coast. Scrambled eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly. The home fries had just the right amount of browning and coffee tasted like it was just prepared. I would happily return if in the area.
Support your local businesses and frequent this great coffee shop! IMO, this is the best coffee in Waltham. The staff is friendly, the food good. Atmosphere is coffee house like with marble top tables and shabby leather sofas, plus a great view of downtown Waltham. Just perfect.
The atmosphere is good. Bright and sunny. A good place for quiet conversations. The location is good. My hot chai tea was barely warm and veryl bland. The sandwich was only okay. The staff were not super helpful but they weren't unpleasant. Overall it was an okay place, not far from Moody Strret.
Townie and chill cafe in downtown Waltham with solid breakfast sandwiches and delicious coffee. The everything bagel came completely coated in toppings. It was this everything bagel-lover’s best bagel ever!
