Boston’s Best Coffee Shops | Eater Boston

"Owners Francois and Fatuma Tuyishime opened this bright little coffee shop in Somerville’s Teele Square with a focus on exclusively Rwandan coffee growers. Francois is from southwestern Rwanda, where his family grows coffee crops, and the couple’s knowledge of the region’s coffee industry comes through in each expertly brewed cup." - Erika Adams

This is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop! Locally owned by an extremely nice Rwandan couple who imports their coffee from their family’s farm, it is always clean and calm. Their coffee is delicious and I also recommend the spinach and cheese savory pastries! The owner even let me have a whole bunch of burlap sacks to use for a gardening project!

Cortado was perfect, nice and strong. The spinach feta pastry would be better if it was heated to be hotter than lukewarm. Staff are great and the shop is spacious with high ceilings and natural light. Nice to have such a premium coffee place so close.

Yego Coffee is a wonderful cafe. If you’re looking for superb lattes as well as very cool Bolivian art, you’ll love this place.

I went during a slow time in the summer because I sssume this shop gets extremely busy. I asked for a pour over not seeing it on the menu and knowing it may take a while. As there was no one else waiting they made my coffee with a Chem-ex. Coffee was phenomenal! Great shop. Great atmosphere.

Checked out Yego Coffee because I was in the area and have been enjoying cafe-hopping lately. There is plenty of street parking, and the inside is bright with high ceilings and a few tables. There were a few people on a Friday morning. Service was friendly and fast. I ordered a flat white. This was my first time trying a flat white, so I don't feel qualified to critique it. All I know is that it was pretty good. It tasted milky on sip, but there was a nice espresso aftertaste. It was also smooth, and the latte art was pretty. Additionally, $4.50 was a really good price for the amount that I got compared to other cafes! They also had a few pastries, but I didn't try them because I assumed they specialized in coffee more than pastries.

Great place to work or read, it’s nice and quiet, really great atmosphere. The hot mocha was delicious and so was the Spinach feta pastry. The staff was really nice and friendly, it’s a very spacious place with a decent amount of seating.

This place has AMAZING coffee and incredible service. The owner as well as the employees are so kind and welcoming!! Wonderful place to sit and enjoy coffee with a friend. I will say, it fills up pretty quickly, so being an early bird's definitely encouraged to guarantee a seat!

As a roaster cafe, you could imagine the freshness of the coffee and the food. There also have the coffee whole beans with medium or light roasted from their farm with typical Rwanda gorilla, and also good tasting of home brewing daily coffee with sweet aftertaste in the first slurp.

Yego is an amazing addition to West Somerville. It's been years since Teele Square had a real coffee shop, and Yego meets that need with delicious food and drinks. The espresso is very good, made from Rwandan beans. The owners, Fatuma and Francois, are friendly and welcoming. The decor is simple, with photos of the coffee-making process. Yego serves a variety of pastries and coffee drinks, but for me, their chai is the star. Yego serves the best chai I've had. The spices are varied and balanced. American-style chai is usually made from a pre-mixed syrup. A good place will make their own syrup in-house, but the chai at Yego tastes better than any pre-mixed-syrup chai.

My friend and I came to Yego on a Saturday morning and were able to find seating. I decided to get a vanilla latte. The latte art was really cute. I love the details and care that went through making the coffee. The latte is not overly sweet. They have syrup by the door where you can adjust the sweetness on your own. I did not find the coffee acidic, and it was smooth to drink. The price was also quite reasonable. Overall, this place was not bad. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and will come back if I am in the area.

Coffee is amazing. But Safe to say they must not have been in France. The crossant was not good. I asked to be toasted but the put it in the microwave. It tastes like NYC coffe cart crossant. Mass produced n not fresh. Service is super friendly. Place just opened a few months ago so maybe they'll get it right.

Best coffee in Somerville? The pour over was really good. I will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely love this place! The coffee is so rich and delicious, the prices are refreshingly reasonable, and the staff is always so kind and friendly. The inside is nice and bright, I only wish there was a bit more seating because it can get packed.

Great atmosphere, perfect place for sipping a coffee and munching on a pastry while you get some work done! My chai latte was very tasty, and the spinach and cheese pastry was dangerously good. Baristas are super kind and I can't wait to go back

Lovely addition to Teele Square. Kickass coffee and super nice owners! Love the cortados.

I love this place. The baristas are so kind and make my day every time I go. There is also something so tasty about the lattes I get. They're creamy and delicious! It's about the same price as any other coffee shop, which is fair. It's worth spending more (than dunkin - which is getting pretty pricey anyway) to get a good latte sometimes. Highly recommend:)

The coffee was delightful - rich and unusually flavorful! And the service was great - when I tried to order something that the barista somehow knew was not what I had in mind, she helped me make a better decision!

This new coffee shop serving amazing Rwandan coffee is such a hidden gem! My iced latte was delicious and the baristas (who I think were the owners) were extremely friendly. They even kindly honored a recent graduate discount that had just expired. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

So glad this shop has opened!! Their cold brew is probably the best I have ever had. Will definitely be coming back for more :)

Teele Square has needed a lovely coffee shop for years and finally has one! The team at Yego is as delightful as their coffee is delicious. They nailed my dry cappuccino and had delicious, fresh croissants to go with it. Thrilled to have Yego in the neighborhood and everyone should head there to try it out!!

This is the best coffee in the area, truly. The owners are very friendly and the prices are great. Definitely worth a walk from Davis Square.

Cute coffee shop with amazing Rwandan coffee and tasty pastries that just opened up. The owners were so friendly and would definitely recommend checking this place out

This is a wonderful new cafe where you can get great Rwandan coffee as well as some delicious pastries. It is a small but very pleasant space to spend time in, if you feel like it. Or, as I did, to take out from. The owners are so friendly and it was a pleasure to chat and learn more about the coffee business in Rwanda. The cafe is on edge of Teele Square and well worth checking out!
