Red Barn Coffee Roasters

I’ve been to their other locations but this is definitely the place to go for the best coffee in the longwood area! Tip: Avoid coming during lunch or before work to dodge lines
I love that they have high quality coffee and also a large variety of speciality drinks. Get the almond joy latte!
I went to Boston Latin which is down the street. Definitely wish this existed back then!

I had the chocolate croissant and it was damn so good! It was warm, moist and the choc melt. Next time, I’ll try their mocha latte.

This place is by far the best place in the Longwood area for coffee. The baristas are always friendly, there’s hardly ever a line, and most importantly the coffee tastes really good! I can’t have caffeine but I love my morning coffee, and it’s a disappointing fact that most decaf coffees range from bland to disgusting. Not so at Red Barn — finally a great tasting decaf that I can actually enjoy! (By the way, the regular coffee also tastes good — I used to drink it before I gave up caffeine.) Definitely try this place, it beats a Starbucks any day.

Decent coffee, a tad more expensive than others. Haven’t tried the food yet. The ice coffee I had was refreshing and tasty.

For those who work in the Longwood Medical Area, Red Barn is one of your best bets for a decent cup of joe. They brew some rather good flavored iced coffee, including cinnamon vanilla, chocolate raspberry, & French toast (sounds odd but is delicious). Their espresso beverages are nothing special; I find their lattes to be too milky. So, I recommend just sticking to their coffee.
The staff is very nice, & they are generally quick at making your beverages.
Tidbits:
–If you plan on frequenting Red Barn, grab one of their punch cards (one drink = one punch on the card). After every 12 punches, you earn a free drink!
–They do not use syrups to flavor their coffees (as is the case at Starbucks); their coffee’s flavor comes from the beans.
–They sell cronuts.

I’ve given this place several tries. The first time they got everything in my order wrong. The corporate offices were kind enough to fix the issues. Second time, much better. Today was the worst experience yet. Why is it, with two people working there, they can still totally ruin a coffee order. I (again) went there because the lines at Dunkin were too long and there was no one at RBCR. (that should have said something) I ended up paying 4.83 for a large, miserable, unflavored (I had asked for flavored) cup of iced coffee. When I got upstairs to my office, I had to re-​milk and re-​sweeten the thing because it was wrong. (methinks you need to address morning staff issues — nobody is paying attention)
Three strikes — you’re out!
Dear DUNKIN DONUTS, I will NEVER EVER cheat on you again with RBCR, no matter how long your lines are.

Nice place to get a semi decent cup of coffee and a small snack if you are working in the Longwood medical area. Coffee is not the best i’ve had, but probably the best in the area. Staff are friendly and pretty fast as well. Also – for tea drinkers they have a nice herbal tea selection too!

This is my favorite place to get coffee in the area. Their drinks are more expensive than Dunkin’ Donuts, but definitely worth it if you’re picky about your coffee. Both the drip coffee and espresso are rich without being bitter. They have a variety of hot coffee and iced coffee flavors that rotate daily. There’s also oatmeal, muffins, cookies, and other baked goods. The staff is polite and, coming from someone who has worked as a barista, does a great job making the drinks. You also get a free drink any time you buy a bag of their coffee!

Smaller than the other Red Barn Coffee Roasters but still a very nice selection of coffees and teas with an assortment of goodies for sale. I was feeling wild and tried an iced Milky Way latte. Yum! I love going to Red Barn because they have an extensive list of quality drinks at great prices. I try to get something different each time I go, and wish they were closer to my home location!

I used to work above Red Barn coffee in the Longwood Galleria and fell in love with their coffee. I have McDonalds, Dunkin, and Starbucks all within arms reach but went to Red Barn every morning. The two main cashiers are really friendly and helpful. They eventually knew my order and got it ready quickly so I didn’t have to spend time explaining over and over. I have moved to California but miss their coffee so much!

This is no Starbucks, but just as pricey. The employees don’t seem to want to be here. Only one drink will I buy from here… the milky way. Starbucks charges fifty cents for soy. Red barn charges a buck. Please compete, or don’t, I don’t care, I will just continue to go across the street to Starbucks, better service anyway.

I work in Longwood, and there aren’t many good options for food or beverages here. It’s a sea of chain restaurants and cafes, so when I want a tea beverage (not a coffee drinker), I have limited choices: Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks across the street, Bruegger’s, and Red Barn. Inevitably, I choose Red Barn.
Why? Because Red Barn makes a good chai, and they’ll make my drink with soy milk. Granted, it’s a dollar extra, but I’ll take it. I don’t drink regular milk anymore because milk and my stomach don’t get along so great. Also, the line at Starbucks (either at Beth Israel or the one near Children’s Hospital) is always ridiculous, and Red Barn is way less busy.
Bless you, Red Barn, for feeding my chai addiction. It’s pricey (I think); between $ 4 and $ 5 for a medium, iced or hot, but it’s so worth it, in my opinion, for some caffeine-​fueled productivity at work.

Was at Beth Isreal for a doctor’s appt and came over to the Food Court as I was early for a cup of coffee. Have seen Red Barn Coffee sign on highway before and gave it a try.
It was a good cup of coffee. Nice alternative to the usual Dunkin or Starbucks. Medium blend, average acidity and nice everyday coffee.

I don’t drink coffee so this seems like a strange place for me to review. That said I got a Chai from there today because I’m not feeling too well and I figured it would be better than Starbucks. While being better than the ones at Starbucks it wasn’t great, but did the job at a much lower cost than Starbucks.

I love their iced coffee — it’s like rocket fuel, so I have to make sure that I do not consume it on an empty stomach so as not to get more jumpy/​cranky than usual. The staff is always pleasant and fixes the coffee exactly how I ask for it (extra cream and one sugar thankyouverymuch). I typically stop on my way into work, and the line is usually short and moves quickly. The muffins are all right, although my favorite low fat apple cinnamon muffin is only there every once in awhile. The small iced coffee is $ 2.25, which is a little on the pricey side, so I make a Red Barn stop a treat on warm mornings.

This is the cup of coffee keeping me company at my desk every morning.
They’re cash-​only but I feel better forking over my dollars to these chicas rather than DD’s or McD’s or ABP’s.

Coffee shops need to serve really good… um, let me think, what is it, ummm… oh yeah! Coffee! Ding! Ding! Red Barn is one of the better tasting cups of good ol’ joe in the Longwood area. I probably wouldn’t bother with anything fancy here as I’ve ever only ever heard about their regular coffee which is pretty damn stand up. I’d take the Pepsi challenge w/​this stuff vs. Au Bön Pain anyday. Price wise, $ 1.70 for a large coffee these days isn’t really anything to shake your shaking stick at. And, though pricey, their eye catching peanut butter cookies are pretty rockin.

Everytime I visit this location I end up getting pissed off. All I want is a Chai Tea Latte with soy milk, the other location seems to know how to make it but here they don’t. They premake their chai, it’s bad enough I expect the Oregon Chai container to be whipped out like the other location, I just don’t want my stuff coming out of a refrigerated plastic jug. When I was spoken to by an employee they told me «We make it with non-​dairy creamer, it’s the same thing as soy milk.» Uh… no it’s not.
