Restoration Coffee — Restaurant in Bridgewater

I really want to love this place. It has potential but they are missing the mark in so many ways. I have been to all three locations. So far the original location in East Bridgewater is my favorite only because the service is a bit faster and I like the ladies working there as well as the vibe. I think as a whole, Restoration Coffee really needs to step up their coffee game. We moved from a place where coffee is considered an art form. From the roasting to the service all the way to the experience you’re about to have when you step foot into your local coffee spot. My concern’s are mainly with the overall quality of the drinks, the cleanliness of the coffee shop (Bridgewater) and the service being very slow but the people who work there are wonderful and pleasant. It took almost 20 min to get a latte and regular coffee. The layout and theme of the place makes no sense to me. It doesn’t feel very inviting. Chairs, floors and tables were dirty where we sat. Maybe they were under staffed but even so, dirtiness and unsanitary surfaces for customers is a huge NO NO in the food and beverage industry. Seriously. Now I can’t tell you if I really like their coffee or espresso because most of the drinks I have purchased were special lattes of some sort. So far I’ve order a mocha, Gaby latte, pride latte, and chagaccino (it’s one of those trendy things). What they all have in common unfortunately is not the Damn.Good.Coffee, it was the sweetness. All too sweet and all pretty much didn’t have distinct flavors, not to me. I wish I could say I tasted espresso in my drinks but sadly I am disappointed every time. Next time, yes, I will be back again because I want to support local (but you all could do a lot better), I may try a simpler beverage just to get a real feel of what the espresso actually tastes like there. As for the food I’m not really sure yet. A lot needs to be updated with Restoration Coffee. I’m not saying that it needs to look more modern but everything needs to be cohesive....

My friend and I have heard great things about the shop before coming. After our own experience, I was little taken back by the price. To be brutally honest, my large(Dunkin medium) size coffee was not the best, probably get better at dunkin. It was too sweet and filled to the brim with ice. As for my friend, his egg and cheese was a 3 star rating and his coffee with a cold foam was 4/5 stars, good but not great. I would recommend the shop to anyone that likes a coffee shop nostalgia, but not as an everyday coffee stop. Luckily cumberland farms is around the corner for that. Boundless Bean is a coffee shop, which similar to Restoration across the street has a bit better prices and some better coffee...

The absolute perfect local coffee shop and a great location. The atmosphere here is so cozy and welcoming, even when it's very busy!

I found out about Restoration and started coming here over the summer and I am just hooked. Their coffee and flavor options are all delicious and the baristas here are so kind and friendly. Excellent quality coffee and some good food options as well. I love sitting in here to read and sip my latte and just soak in the good vibes. :)

The kitchen being pretty open to the rest of the small cafe and just the way the airflow is in here does mean that the "food smell" will 100% stick to your hair and clothes, which isn't ideal but it's...
