Caffe Diem has some of the better coffee around. It's nice and strong, but not bitter, and even when you get a "froo-froo" type of a drink, it isn't overly sweet. They serve the coffees in nice, fat ceramic mugs that make you want to kick back and stay a while. There's also a little selection of board games to play while you pass the time. The have some nice, light lunches, too. The paninis are great, as is the tomato soup. It isn't as convenient to get to as most of the coffee shops in the area, it's tucked in the middle of the Medford Center next to Tinseltown, so there isn't a drive through, but it's a great place to relax when you've got a few extra minutes.
