Editorial Review

Cafe on the Common, at the intersection of Main St and Moody St in Waltham, looks out on to the city commons, minutes from the Commuter Rail station. Throughout the week, the European style cafe bustles with locals, some reading the morning headlines, others studying with the cafe's free wifi. Some have informal business meetings there while others use the quiet, casual atmosphere to catch up with friends. The food—mainly pastries, desserts, and sandwiches—is quite average and not very extensive but they do have a wide array of cold and hot drinks to make this coffee shop a place worth visiting.- Robyn Spector
