Sherman Cafe

Sherman Café in Union square Somerville has the feel of a family room for the neighborhood, a stylish yet simple atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows that lend to the bright and comfortable space. The coffee is strong and the baked goods tasty and fresh. Beyond these coffee-shop staples, the Sherman makes a mean sandwich with creative taste combinations on stellar bread. From homemade soups to savory bread pudding, it is always freshly made with wholesome ingredients bought locally. Whether an old traditional or a nouveau experiment owners Karyn Coughlin and Ben Dryer nail it. Plus, perhaps best of all, Karyn and Ben are connected to the community, they're both members of the Somerville Local First, and stay very active in community events. A great all-around contributor to the taste buds and well being of Union Square.
