But the culinary adventure doesn't stop there. Their Avocado Flight is a must-try, showcasing four enticing styles of avocado toast that highlight the versatility of this beloved fruit.

I have been wanting to try Bliss for the longest but with so much competition in the area, I just never got around to it. I'm so glad it came into the rotation this President's Day. First off, I love the peacock blue with the matching lounge chairs. It gives such a sexy, grown vibe. Second, I love the variety of drinks that they offer. The latte list is endless AND they have flights so you can sample three of the flavors that pique your desire. Third, they serve food. Hot food. Pancakes, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, etc. Or, if you fancy something light, they have a huge variety of pastries, muffins, cakes, bagel, etc. The ladies working were great. Informative and patient and suggested a few things. Opted for the blueberry streudel which was DELICIOUS and had a tiramisu latte to go with it. My friend that the latte flight of the lavender love, pistachio, and caramel creme brulee. Next time, I'm gonna get the flight. I'm gonna make it my goal to try all they flavors by Summertime. Hey, ya gotta have goals! The prices are Somerville prices and paid parking is a little iffy but otherwise, I love this place. Oh, and the bathroom--an oasis! Could use an update but still a great place.

Bliss is due an updated review after my recent experiences at the Coffee Lounge. Since I have been, the vanilla chai lattes -- both hot and cold -- have been consistently delicious. The lattes are creamy, perfectly spiced, and not too sweet. Before the winter menu is gone, definitely try the caramel brûlée latte! This is a sweet beverage with a crunchy top layer and the cutest presentation. I also really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie. It came out warm and gooey in one of my recent experiences. However, last time I went, it was stale and must have been sitting in the case for too long. Besides that, the decor and service here have been on point as well. The baristas here are so sweet and I always have an easy time ordering.

Beautiful drinks. Calm and hip ambiance. Pop classics playing at a volume just loud enough that you can talk softly and not feel awkward but can still hear your own thoughts. Kind and quick service.

Bliss certainly lives up to its name. From its atmosphere to its drinks, to its baked goods- there is always a good reason to go to Bliss. I go to Bliss when I'm meeting up with a friend for a coffee or when I need to finish some work. Both occasions seem fit for a trip to Bliss. Bliss has a warm and cozy seating area which is able to accommodate a decent amount of people. The front of Bliss has a few couches for a casual conversation, and the middle section near the counter has tables where I typically pull out my laptop when I have work to finish but also want the ambiance of a bustling coffee shop. The back of Bliss includes a more solitary space perfect for an intimate conversation or a space to really minimize distractions and get lost in a personal project. There are a number of drinks I really enjoy at Bliss. My recent favorite is the eggnog latte- a perfect blend of espresso and eggnog without being blown away by excessive sweetness. Though, two staples I can always rely on are the downtown dulce and the cortado. Every time I order those I walk away with a smile. Though if you are in the mood for a chai latte or even a cold brew, I can assure you Bliss makes a solid chai latte and usually has a seasonal cold brew. This past autumn, I enjoyed the apple crisp cold brew. Each trip to Bliss I like to treat myself to some pão de queijo. Each order comes with 2, and every time I order the pão de queijo it is fresh and well worth it! When in Somerville, make sure to put Bliss on your must visit list!

I love coming here. I always order the pistachio bliss. The real pieces of pistachios in it make the latte taste so good. I also love the ambiance of this place. I see myself working from here. They are also dog friendly. I brought my Dog, Snoopy here a few times and they are always welcoming and they offer a coconut pup cup.

I love to slip into Bliss Coffee Lounge after a meal or just because. I'm not a regular (yet) just because I am ADHD and I need to prompt myself(LOL). Regardless, here I am. Delicious coffee, heavenly banana muffin. Both of which are rich flavors that stay on your palate for a time until you take your next sip or bite. I've sat here and enjoyed other dishes and all have been a tasty adventure I settled in to enjoy, licking the plate clean of crumbs. Bliss is rich in colors and textures throughout the dining and ordering areas. For a smaller space, the owners have put great thought into seating so several small groups can be in here at once and not feel too close to the others. Soft lighting, excellent sound absorbing materials throughout. Bliss is a great space to enjoy friends, go on a first date, or sit quietly writing Yelp reviews . I'm a big Bliss fan!!! There are several cafes in Somerville. I encourage you to try them all. Be sure you include Bliss in your journey.

I've given Bliss a 5 start but management needs to speak with it's staff about some housekeeping expectations which I'll cover at the end of this review. Our first trip to Somerset NJ on 6/18, a reco from a colleague who grew up in town and who's parents still live there. Found street parking just outside of Bliss and due to the extreme HOT temps (heat wave) we noticed Bliss and opted to go in to seek coverage from the oppressive temperatures. To our surprise, it was a very chill type of relaxing atmosphere with a very interesting small plate menu and healthy, tasty, and refreshing beverages. We started off with an empanada and quickly added another with a fruit filling and loved their passion fruit mocktail. Had overheard it's also an event space for performers. Very cool. Back to my housekeeping rules the management needs to instill in the staff... is common decency and respect. Not just respect to the customers, my horrific experience was more about common decency and respect to everyone (staff or customer). While waiting a very long time to finally be able to use the one gender-neutral restroom (no other restrooms), I went in, and low and behold, the previous occupant [an employee who helped us with our order from behind the counter] did not flush the toilet and boy it was ugly in there. I came right out to follow that person and remind them of the human decency and courtesy to flush. She looked astonished and said she did. If she did and it cleared out, I would not be describing this unfortunate and ugly part of my awesome food experience. She was also nasty when confronted; it was time for us to leave.

The best coffee shop in Somerville! Bliss is my favorite place to enjoy a coffee when I'm in the area. It's been a few years since I first stopped in and I have been going back ever since because of how consistently well made the drinks are. I've enjoyed everything I've tried from Bliss, but my absolute favorite is the downtown dulce--it's the perfect blend of caramel and espresso. The chai latte is another standout drink for me. There is a lot of seating inside, as well as tables outside during warmer months, so it never feels crowded. The Wi-Fi is quick and works great in both the front and back rooms of the cafe. For those reasons, Bliss doubles as a great place to sit and do work for a couple hours. In a word: visiting this coffee shop is pure Bliss!

I don't drink coffee at all, so I was excited to see they have a variety of non-coffee beverages. I got the strawberry coconut horchata and the chicken beirute, a Brazilian styled sandwich. The food and drinks were great, loved that it wasn't the typical American cafe choices. But for a cafe it is VERY expensive, the sandwich was $16 and specialty drinks were $7 each which is insanely pricey for a cafe, those are restaurant prices. The interior is trying to be trendy but I felt was slightly dated with the cat portraits.

Bliss Coffee is such a cute date spot or place to get your work done. Today, I got the chagaccino which is the new trendy drink where it's similar to mocha latte but it's made from mushroom. I got it iced with oat milk and normally, coffee doesn't make me jittery or feel wired but this drink did. However, it was a good thing in the sense that I came to the cafe to get work done and this drink kept me super caffeinated and awake. It was fairly quiet and there were a couple other fellow people in there working while I was there (12-3ish) so the wifi works great and it started picking up and getting a lot more customers around 3pm.
