The Golden Roast Melrose

Please fix the wifi. Everything else about the shop is amazing, but I can?t sit in here because I can?t do my homework

Would definitely suggest this spot to anybody looking to do some work at a table with a great environment, coffee/tea, pastries, and baristas! I love the outlets at the hightops, very convenient!

Coffee and atmosphere are wonderful. Employees were not welcoming or friendly to customers. Talked amongst themselves while customers waited. Gave dirty looks to customers behind their back and openly complained about people not tipping them at Pointof Sale. Extremely disappointed as I love to visit local coffee shops while traveling but this did not make me welcome orappreciative of my business.

The coffee was pretty good, but the service, not so much. I am a college student and I happen to get out of class near closing time. I decided to stop by on my way to the library. I happen to walk in a few minutes before they close. The worker was notvery kind, she asked me what she could get me, then immediately followed her question with we close in 6 minutes. She also didnot smile at me once throughout my transaction. I ordered and green tea latte, and while she was scooping the matcha, I kindlyasked if she could add a little bit extra since I forgot to ask while ordering... she looked at me and rudely said no I can 't. As a barista myself, I know you can, but she didn 't give me any sort of reason why. I understand that it might be extra orsomething, but say so, instead of just saying no, so next time I would know, if I ever even come back here again. So I payed 6$for a milky iced green tea latte that was filled to the brim... to the BRIM with ice. Now, hear me out, the drink was not bad, Ijust prefer a bit extra matcha powder. I would absolutely love to try this coffee shop out again, but i 'm not sure if ill beback. When an employee looks miserable while making a customers drink, and being unkind, it puts a bad taste in my mouth. Thiscoffee shop looks so welcoming, unlike this employee.

I love coming here. Right outside of campus perfectly convenient. Fast service, the staff is always friendly. Amazing coffee and muffins. They can get crowded but, that just tells you they?re doing something right.
