Forge Baking Co & Ice Cream Bar

We ordered 3 specialty coffees, a regular coffee, and a chocolate croissant. The total was over $30. We’re in Somerville, so ok…..I guess. It took almost 15 minutes to get these out which was a little strange for not a very long line. The regular coffee tasted like more water than coffee. I figured it was a bad drip so I asked if they could swap it for dark roast or something else. I just got “sorry that’s all we have.” I just said ok and left. No need to make a stink but it’s kind of surprising they wouldn’t spend the extra 18 cents to try to make a customer happy rather than preventing a sub par Google review, which I very rarely do. My daughter did say the almond croissant was very good. They ran out of chocolate which they didn’t tell us until they gave us the other one. I’m guessing p

Unbelievably cool space, great menu with breakfast, lunch and coffee. We ordered with a big group and food arrived quickly and was delicious. The kids in our group also got banana Oreo ice cream and it was insanely delicious. Highly recommend this place - it has amazing sunlight and plenty of people working on laptops while they are and enjoyed their coffees. Can’t wait to come back soon.

Absolutely great spot for breakfast or snacks or bakery fare.

Staff are on the ball and attentive, but it’ll take a few mins to make fresh food for you. The baked goods may even surpass the fresh food options. So come here for bread or pastries and you will find a 5/5 experience for sure. Can’t attest to the ice cream yet but likely also holding a similar standard. Plenty of tables in their industrial chic space for those wanting to dine in, but they have a good balance of to-go traffic too. Will definitely be returning frequently. Odd graphic design / signage complaint: the “rusted for aesthetic” sign out front is really har

We go there very often. Very good food. However, the music (the ceilings are very high and the acoustics is not suitable for hard rock) and the lack of ventilation (you smell food every time) makes us think to go elsewhere next time. These are easy things to take care of, i hope they care.

My go to place for meeting with my friends and have some delicious coffee and breakfast! We come here almost every month, love the atmosphere and the food is always on point. Very kind staff!
