Fodor's Expert Review Diesel Cafe

$ Somerville Café

Known as Somerville's "refueling station," this bright, window-y spot just got a new look but still boasts a retro vibe, bold local artwork, and spacious tables that draw in Davis Square hipsters, Tufts students, and LGBTQ+ sets. Be part of the rebel crowd over veggie-friendly fare, crafted salads, soups, wraps, house-made pastries, and gourmet coffee with tasty house-made syrups in flavors like turmeric, caramel, and vanilla. Shoot pool, chill out, or take selfies in a photo booth.
