Identity Coffee Co. - Taunton, MA: A Vibrant Community Coffee Spot with Unique Eats

Maybe I hit this spot on a good day? It was Saturday afternoon and only a few people inside. The space is beautiful and large. The brown sugar shaken espresso was so good, and the breakfast sandwich was really yummy. Both came out really fast and I enjoyed the space. Unfortunate about the many low reviews because there’s so much potential here & I have nothing bad to say about my experience. Give it a try if you’re in the area!

My wife and I regularly seek out new coffee places around southern New England. Was stoked to find an Identity spot moved into Taunton (they’re a small chain in New England). This spot is MASSIVE. Not only is it a coffee / sandwich / ice cream shop, but it’s also an events space and community center. The decor and vibes are great. So much seating! What drew us to this place was the affogato. Not many places do it well, but I’d give identity a 4/5 with it. A little too much espresso vs. ice cream, but it’s delicious and the espresso was strong. I like that you can customize the ice cream flavors which no one really does. The iced lattes were also delicious, but had an awful lot of ice. For the price, I’d expect them to put a little more coffee in the cups and not fill to the top with ice. A small latte, large latte, and an espresso ran us $25 with a 15% tip. Ultimately our coffee and experience was amazing, and we’ll be back!

Overall the food and drinks are good. Today was pretty busy so I had to wait about 30mins for my 3 sandwiches which the bread were not toasted and the Tuscan chicken was warm at best. Every place has its bad days but waiting that long for the food to turn out cold was not ok. The coffees are good, the ones with syrup does get made overly sweet but you can ask not to be too sweet. The place is absolutely beautiful and the staff for the most part are friendly. Next time if I get cold food I just gotta make sure I’m more assertive about the quality I’m given & not take a dismissive answer as the solution.

This coffee shop is a 10/10 on looks and vibes alone. Their espresso is extremely weak and service is rude. Tough considering it’s such a well designed spot. Latte ran me $10 with my $1 tip as well which has ludicrous considering this isn’t Miami…. I often will pay $10 for some good espresso; sadly it will not be the one again in the future

Heard about this new “coffee shop” on Main Street in Taunton. Essentially this is a coffee outpost located in a new community center. The inside was beautiful and seems like a nice place to meet up with friends for a coffee. The coffee was decent very similar to an iced coffee you would get a a breakfast joint. As for tea, they have no freshly brewed ice tea just pure leaf. We decided not to try the breakfast although the menu looked good. After doing some research about the location identity coffee is small chain found in Western Mass and New Hampshire. The community center was started by some New Christian Community Church leaders from Easton. A cool concept the church undertones are a little iffy (my personal opinion), definitely worth a trip to see new improvements to The Green.

Always a great experience when visiting! Food & drinks are always delicious. The ladies that are always there behind the counter are pleasant. Food and drinks are a little pricey but worth it!

The coffee was better than other local places nearby but it should have been hotter. By the time the young lady behind the counter finally made my bagel my coffee was basically room temp. I had to remind them about my bagel after watching 10 others get their full order. The atmosphere was good. Nice place to meet larger groups for coffee.
