A very popular spot on Massachusetts Avenue, it was hard to find a place to sit on a Thursday morning but a table miraculously opened up for us! The coffee seems to be student run and it has a casual, low-key atmosphere. They serve fresh pastries and sandwiches. Everything tastes good. My only regret is that the croissant I ordered wasn't super hot, and the eggs could have used a bit more salt and pepper perhaps. The coffee is good, exactly what I'd expect from an independent inner city coffee shop like 1369 Coffee House. A very decent place if you happen to be walking by. Bonus: bathrooms are very clean. Always a treat! read more

Items ordered: Cortado, Gluten free bagel with lox Value: a little pricey, but well done, so it's okay! The Review: You will probably not get a seat at 1369, but you can definitely drink their coffee! I highly recommend getting an order to-go. Aside from being overly crowded with laptop users who show no intention of leaving anytime soon, 1369 serves some good brews! The gluten-free bagel was delicious, warm and chewy. The espresso has a nice intense flavor. Recommend if you need a quick bite! {Also their merch looks hella cute} read more

I went in for a morning coffee on a Sunday morning and the coffee house was bustling! Old school wooden tables and chairs, many people chatting away, and barista's working quickly to make your drinks. They also have some outdoor seating out front, though it goes quickly on a nice sunny day. I got a small vanilla latte (with oat milk), really enjoyed it, it was strong and just the kick I needed. Only downside is that it was over $7! Feels like a lot for a small latte. If you're looking for a quiet coffee shop to work, maybe better to try another spot on a weekend. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by this cute cafe for a drink before meeting up with some friends from out of state and found ourselves completely engrossed in a competitive board game with yummy drinks while our friend's had to come and find us! The staff here are so friendly and it was so refreshing to find a nice niche place in the Harvard area where we could just sit and be goofy together. It was a much needed little date space and we'll definitely be back for another board game date. read more

Charming intimate cafe with lots of options. I've only had their coffees but hope that changes soon, as their food looks amazing and I've only heard good things. It's a tight squeeze but it adds to the charm :) read more

The egg and cheese on a sea salt bagel was amazzinngggg! Eggs were scrambled and still kind of runny (my fave) and the bagel was extremely salty but in a good way. The bagel, drip coffee and side of cream cheese came out to be $14- a bit more than I'd like to spend on breakfast but worth it for the quality. read more

Ordered ahead online for an espresso this morning as I would be nearby, hoping for a quick pick up experience upon arrival. Unfortunately, the espresso was not ready for about 25 more minutes. And the bathrooms were in even more unfortunate shape, sadly, to the point of not being usable. I feel very sympathetic to the staff attempting to deliver a top notch cafe experience with the challenges of Central Square, but at the same time I can't say the wait time and condition of the place met my expectations. Hope 1369 can hang on to this location and improve though. read more

My family and I had a great breakfast at 1369 Coffee House. My mom and I ordered the rocket breakfast sandwich, and it was so fresh and delicious. My sister ordered a bagel, and she really loved how she was able to customize it, and she said it was yummy. The coffee was great too, and there are so many flavors to choose from. The portions of the food are satisfying, and the prices are very decent. The cafe itself has such a cozy vibe, it feels very relaxed and has such a nice ambience. Also, the servers are so friendly. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place! read more

Good esspreso with a variety of hommade syrups which I love. I tried the salted caramel and it was a very muted flavor but the taste of the beans was good enough that it was okay. Next time I would ask for more syrup. They were super busy so it took a while but not too bad on the wait. I also tried their coffee cake which was good, nothing special though. Would definitely recommend the coffee read more

1369 Coffee House - people at the counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

1369 is a nice little spot right in Central Square. It was fairly busy in the morning, but there was plenty of staff behind the counter and they all seemed to work very in sync so the line moved surprisingly quickly for 9am. There were a lot of syrup options and drink types to choose from. Even for being early in the morning, it was fairly grimy and dirty inside and felt like it had not been thoroughly cleaned in a while. There is a small outdoor seating area and there is a self-serve area to add sugar and grab a straw at the end of the counter. The small cold brew (12 oz) was $4.10 and was mild in taste. It did cost $1 to add almond milk, which frankly is a lot, so it came to $5.19 after tax. This is about the cost you'd pay at a chain coffee shop, but I would still opt to support local shops instead when possible. read more

Love being walking distance to 1369, particularly when I'm craving a bagel with my coffee! Their Asiago bagels with scallion cream cheese do not disappoint! I also appreciate that they have both decaf coffee and espresso drinks. As a heads up, ordering is in person only on weekends and the space fills up- on a Sunday morning at 10am, all the seats were occupied. Overall, a much loved local coffee joint. read more

Coffee house has THE BEST chocolate chip cookie in the area. A fresh chocolate chip cookie from here is amazing. The edges are crispy, the middle slightly soft, the chocolate not overly sweet, ugh sooo good. The front staff are mostly friendly. The drinks are good as well. I've had the golden milk latte (actually very good here), lemonade, and the regular latte here. The other pasties are also nice, have yet to try the sandwiches. The bathrooms are not that great but what do you expect from a popular cafe. The ambiance is chill, reminds me of a college cafe spot with the wooden tables and bustling environment. Definitely check it out. read more

I came because someone told me she wanted to have a regular place to get coffee every morning, and that this was the one. She stuck with it for years. I went and understood why. Food was great and the staff was so friendly. The ambiance is comfortable and sitting by the window is a great experience of Cambridge. read more

1369 is a cute coffee shop, a great place to meet friends or get some work done. The coffee is pretty standard, and there is typically a long wait because it's usually very crowded. It's got a great vibe inside and plenty of seating despite being small. read more

I have been going to 1369 coffee house (both locations) for over 25 years. Great coffee, great neighborhood atmosphere.

I walked up to the store to order in but didn't see anyone. Then noticed a sign that said order online. I ordered through their website, a malted cold brew and a lemon poppy muffin. The wait wasn't too bad and the barista called my name out to pick up my order. The malted cold brew was very nice and the lemon muffin was so soft and crumbly. Taking one star off because I did notice someone walk up to order in person while I was waiting. read more

Much loved local coffee shop serving pastries, union sq donuts, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, quiches and a few lunch type items. Good coffee and tea options. If you are looking for a breakfast sandwich, try the "rocket," I promise you will keep coming back for it. Expect long lines and a 5-10min wait for coffee/sandwiches. Plenty of seating indoors ideal for smaller groups. When the weather is nice outdoor seating is available. read more

Coffee was alright, chai wasn't anything crazy. Pumpkin spice latte was pretty good. Spicy egg was yummy, goat cheese was a solid 8/10, lox was 7/10. Bagels come uncut... so if you're European maybe it's your vibe read more

I wanted to support a local coffee shop since there are so many chains in the area, but 1369 was just ok. Service was very slow, but they were busy on a Saturday so I was expecting that. The iced coffee was very acidic, and the pumpkin spice latte left a lot to be desired. It didn't taste like pumpkin or coffee...I wouldn't be surprised if it was just milk and syrup. The inside was very tight seating-wise so it's not a great place to spend a long time even though there were lots of people there doing just that (taking up an entire table with just their laptop). Overall I won't be back here when there are so many other good places to get a cup of coffee nearby. read more

I stopped by for a mid-day coffee break and got the malted cold brew. Loved the subtle sweetness, but the coffee tasted rather weak and watered down. It was pretty crowded, but there's a decent seating selection. The wifi was pretty fast, but there's a login that only lets you use it for 45 minutes, probably not the best place to get work done. read more

I have been to this cafe several times now. There is a huge variety of teas (30), and I liked the Earl Grey. They serve an excellent cinnamon walnut coffee cake and delicious scones from AJ King. I also liked the classic egg and cheese on whole wheat bagel (Better Bagels). They have great cold brew and oatmilk pumpkin spice latte with homemade syrup. Online ordering is easy, but they can be a bit slow. read more

Homey and busy little coffee shop in central square. London fog was an 8/10. Service was friendly but a bit slow, as expected given the high volume of customers. The chocolate croissant was average. Nice place for coffee and pastries if you're willing to wait a bit. read more

1369 Coffee House - the interior of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I've been to 1369 three times. I was so disappointed the first time that I swore I wouldn't go back. I went a second time with a friend at their suggestion. The third time I went solidified my decision never to return. There's no doubt that the interior at 1369 is great. And that's about all. I judge a coffee shop, or a place that purports to be a coffee shop, by their simple, brewed coffee. I ordered two 12oz coffees: one with almond milk, the other with half and half. I was hopeful--it's hard to mess that order up. However, they did. The coffee was lukewarm, the milks were horrible, and the coffee tasted like water. It was so bad, I threw them away after walking a few blocks down Mass Ave. If you want a good interior vibe and pastry, 1369 would be enjoyable, I imagine. But in good faith, they should remove the "coffee house" from their name. read more

Cute coffee house. My daughter wanted a latte and cookie, so stopped in. She liked the cookie, but said the latte with oat milk was watery; was $9 for the two; $10 w/ tip; but, cool music playing, and friendly service. read more

Love the ice latte I got please. Not much of a coffee drinker, but they brew their coffee in a way where it's easy to drink the latte. There is a line on the weekend, but service is very quick. It's a bit crowded in the front because the entrance is right next to cashier. read more

I came to 1369 Coffee House on a Sunday morning and found myself frustrated by the system for getting drinks at this cafe. There's a narrow alley where you wait in line to order, and also apparently where you're supposed to wait in line to pick up. People end up bumping into each other and having to shuffle around constantly as they wait to pick up their drinks. I was disappointed to see that 1369 uses Garelick Farms milk. I wish it was more of a local/smaller farm milk brand. The latte I got ended up tasting good, but I wish they had used a higher quality brand of milk (and rearranged their cafe for a less chaotic experience). read more

Gotta show love for a union establishment. Finally had chance to sample this place and was very happy with my visit. Tried their Malted Cold Brew and a fresh Croissant. The coffee was very tasty. I can't remember the last time I tasted a malt flavored food item. This cold brew was sweet, delicious, and not even slightly bitter. The pastry was light and flaky, I enjoyed that as well. read more

Cozy little coffee shop serving a nice variety of coffees, teas and pastries. The indoor area is nice with a large (inaccurate) mural of the store, which is very inception-y. They also have art for sale by local artists hanging on the walls. You can eat outside on a few heavily contested tables, or walk a few yards to the Cambridge city hall lawn to enjoy this local favorite! read more

Wonderful local coffee shop. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The pastries and breakfast sandwiches are delicious. The coffee and other beverages are great.
