Amidst all of the chaos and traffic cones that a rehabilitating Union Square has to offer stands Bloc 11 Cafe. Referenced by many as Diesel Cafe's Union Square sister, Bloc 11 has its own scene that's a couple notches more mellow and is carved out of what quite possibly could be the coolest venue ever (an old bank!) The best part about Bloc 11, though, is the gated patio out to the side. Outside, you're free (or hopefully far enough away from) the clatter of keyboards and productivity, becoming a part of what essentially is one of the coolest neighborhoods in Somerville. So as the nice weather comes around, hopefully to stay, keep Bloc 11 in mind for awesome outdoor seating with delicious coffee and sandwiches to keep you satiated.
Pros: fantastic coffee. great food.
Cons: not easily accessible by T (tho that might be a good thing!)
