ahhhhhhhhhh by B S on 11/27/2010 via Insider Pages
The baristas know what they're doing - excellent coffee drinks and good food. No more $ than your chain coffee shops around so give them your money rather than the chain across the street\r \r \r Yes - it's packed. Share a booth with a…

Best coffee/lunch spot in Somerville by juliacantor on 5/16/2010 via Citysearch
Diesel is more than a cool coffee spot. They do have amazing coffee drinks, lattes, and teas, but they also have an exquisite list of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and much more. It is the only cafe I know with an antique photo booth and no…

Not only the neighborhood living room, the front porch, too! by shava23 on 5/10/2010 via Citysearch
Now that the weather is warming up, I'm even more looking forward to hanging at the Diesel, hoping to get one of the half dozen tables in the front. During the warm weather, they open up the glass storefront -- appropriately, really a…

Cara-mmm-el Latte! by TBella on 2/23/2010 via Citysearch
I'm not quite hipster enough for Diesel Cafe. I'm not a Tufts student or vegan or bassist or struggling novelist or whomever else hangs out here at all hours of the day every day. What I am is addicted to espresso, and that's really what…

Convenient coffeshop in Davis Square. by Truereview t. on 7/26/2009 via Judy's Book
I won't be able to read all the reviews. But I can see a lot of 4 and 5 stars. I went there twice. I had tea there it was good. I heard this place has a lot of my L people. I guess so but could not check them out because i was never alone…

Diesel Cafe is my religion by kchowhound on 8/15/2008 via Citysearch
I have yet to introduce somebody to the Lil Piston sandwich at Diesel Cafe who does not immediately fall in love with it - from prissy girls to football jocks. Amazing. For a little over 8 dollars (yes a pretty expensive sandwich but…

Popular independent Davis Square coffeeshop fuels young area professionals deep into the night. by Eric Grossman on 8/1/2008 via Citysearch
In Short
Usually filled with lots of Tufts students, lesbians and avid journal-writers, the Diesel is one of Somerville's most popular hangouts. For seating, there's a choice of kitschy restaurant-style booths, regular tables or…

My favorite study hangout by zoechance on 8/1/2007 via Citysearch
Diesel Cafe is not that cheap and it doesn't have much vegan food, but it's got a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes it KICK A$$. I subscribe to their WiFi service ($13/month) and make good use of it - judging by the number of laptops around,…

Don't go at the end of the day.. by mropinionated on 2/23/2007 via Citysearch
The last 4 times I have gone there they have ran out of bread! Whether its been 5pm or 10pm, they have been out. All they have are salads and sandwiches, how can they not have bread. Usually they will subsitute pita if they are out of…

Fabulous coffee... by teurope on 4/5/2006 via Citysearch
... and they make the most beautifully thick foam on cappucinos that I've ever seen. I've yet to have a bad cup of coffee here, and unlike Starbucks, you can almost always grab a seat someplace. And you have to like a place that has a pool…

Coffee, Board Games, Pool, Oh My! by moriah c. on 3/22/2006 via Judy's Book
I never imagined Diesel Cafe to be as large as it is until the day I decided to walk all the way through. They not only have have good coffee and treats, but also a giant room offering a whole world of possibilities: pool. board games,…

popular place! by C. S. on 3/22/2006 via Judy's Book
I love Diesel, they serve some of my favorite tea blends -- but my only complaint is that it is SO crowded. Anytime I try to meet a friend it's nearly impossible to get a seat. Students show up and take over an entire booth (that could…

Great coffee - busy atmosphere by Pam B. on 3/16/2006 via Judy's Book
Diesel Cafe has a great menu. They have a lot of unique drinks that the other local coffee shops don't serve, such as my favorite the chocolate chai. I have not eaten there, but their food also always looks good. They offer a lot of…

Quality, Crowded, Hip by Alison P. on 3/16/2006 via Judy's Book
Everything is good here...if you can get a seat. Your best shots are early morning, midafternoon, and after 10pm. If the Someday is kind of a hippie townie spot, Diesel is all right angles and irony and chrome. Not so much comfortable…

Great Place for Cheap Date/Hang out by nina___ on 9/27/2005 via Citysearch
I love this place. It has the feel of a bar type hang out, minus the obnoxious drunks. Some coffee shops give me the feeling that although they aren't starbucks, they're trying to be. Diesel is wonderfully unique and has it's own vibe. …

hipster coffee by m k. on 8/15/2005 via Judy's Book
The decor is raw. Images of industry, mass production, and waste are sort of the theme. Plywood floors, tables made of junction boxes. The coffee is good. The lemon squares are too eggy for my taste. It is actually quite enormous and…

Hip and Hot by Erikka A on 8/9/2005 via Insider Pages
The food here was dee-lish. There are wraps, sandwiches, and lots of lite lunchy type foods. I had a veggie wrap with an Oddawalla smoothie and felt so healthy and good when finished. The atmosphere is so relaxing and chill, good for…

funky cafe with good food, good place to study by Iva N. on 8/3/2005 via Judy's Book
Right across from Starbucks, Diesel is anything but corporate-looking. Most baristas are women in boys' outfits with body piercings and black boots, and the whole place has an "alternative" look. While I prefer Starbucks for coffee…

hip cafe and coffee shop in davis square by Jesse L on 7/12/2005 via Insider Pages
Diesel is a pretty hip and somewhat expensive cafe/coffee shop in Davis square that seems to be quite popular with the GLBT set. This place is remarkably large. Large enough that it could easily be transformed into a club. Try the…
