  I only ordered a large dark roast coffee, as-is. $2.65. Very good. Reasonable price.  Cup is large ... not much else to say.
  
  It is just a walk-up counter in a food court.  There are a couple of barstool seats and a counter on the side. They have pastries and standard drink offerings... all looks good.
  
  If it was self-enclosed and ceramic cups, it might get a five. For very good black coffee, it is very good, four stars.

  The vibe you get here when you approach this stand is just wrong and absolutely unwelcoming. The first time I was here I ignored this vibe because I didn't know what to expect, and I was desperate for any coffee. Lines were super long at DD and Caffe Nero. Second time, there was only one staff working and she was so rude and literally threw my bagel onto the counter - didn't even acknowledge me or the fact that I said thanks when I shouldn't have. People have their bad days and I want to so badly believe that she was in fact having a bad day. But my past experiences here with the unfriendly staff was enough to make me not want to come back to this establishment. Those experiences just put a damper to my days before work. The coffee was okay - not the best. Their bagels were always stale and very chewy. I don't want to disregard this place completely because I'm sure there are really great and friendly staff, and their stuff isn't all terrible. It just isn't worth my trouble coming here

  I've been to their other locations but this is definitely the place to go for the best coffee in the longwood area!! Tip: Avoid coming during lunch or before work to dodge lines
  
  I love that they have high quality coffee and also a large variety of speciality drinks. Get the almond joy latte!
  
  I went to Boston Latin which is down the street. Definitely wish this existed back then!!

  For those who work in the Longwood Medical Area, Red Barn is one of your best bets for a decent cup of joe. They brew some rather good flavored iced coffee, including cinnamon vanilla, chocolate raspberry, & French toast (sounds odd but is delicious). Their espresso beverages are nothing special; I find their lattes to be too milky. So, I recommend just sticking to their coffee.
  
  The staff is very nice, & they are generally quick at making your beverages.
  
  Tidbits:
  -If you plan on frequenting Red Barn, grab one of their punch cards (one drink = one punch on the card). After every 12 punches, you earn a free drink!
  -They do not use syrups to flavor their coffees (as is the case at Starbucks); their coffee's flavor comes from the beans.
  -They sell cronuts.
