Pao
Arthur T.

Pit stop here for a quick bite and coffee. Super packed so we ended up doing take out. Street parking only. Coffee was good and had the traditional pao as a snack.

If you love pão de queijo, make it a point to visit this spot in Cambridge. It's a spacious cafe with plenty of space to sit and enjoy a long meal. Or you can grab coffee and pão de queijo to go. Assuming that the pão de queijo would be small, we ordered two traditional and four with guava to feed myself and my nine-year-old daughter. Little did we know that they are huge with so much guava that it spills out with most bites. We left very full and very satisfied. They are chewy and delicious! And the guava inside is mouth watering.

16oz guava matcha

Came on a weekend and the place was packed. It was much bigger than I was expecting inside but we couldn't find a seat in the 30 min we were there so decided to take our food to go. I tried the guava matcha and pan de queijo and both were solid. The matcha was strong but too sweet, even at the "less sweet" level. The cheesy bread was flavorful but very salty and way too small for the price of $4. Overall it's a solid place that I'll return to for drinks but I will def try to come at a less busy time.

Ah bom dough what a CUTE cafe! We came here after taking a yoga class down the street to grab a bite all together and it was such a great spot for a small group gathering. Even though it was clearly bustling we were able to find space - it didn't feel crowded - and the staff when beyond to help us make sure all allergies were recognized and the food was adjusted properly. Shout out to consistently fantastic service and a great location! We had 2 of the eggs and greens, the potatoes were fantastic and one of the eggs were switched out for poached eggs since the main batch is mixed with cream. We tried the gluten free mochi which was DIVINE. Totally recommend coming in to share some happy space with great vibes.

ace breakfast on pao

I LOVE bōm dough and would be here all the time if I could. This is an adorable cafe/brunch spot with a good amount of seating and delicious, well-priced food and coffee options. This is a great spot to take a friend to brunch, or to work during the weekdays (they have a no computer policy on the weekends, likely due to the demand). Their pao de queijo is the star of the show! You can either get it as its own pastry or use it as your bread in one of their sandwiches. I've gotten several pao breakfast sandwiches throughout my visits and they come with tasty sauces on the side that enhance the experience. Their breakfast gnocchi is also unique, yummy, and big enough to take leftovers home. I've tried their mochi waffles, which are chewy and soft at the same time. Their flavored lattes are also delicious--most recently, I got the raspberry mocha latte. This place can get busy on the weekends but tables tend to turn relatively quickly. It's less busy during the week, so sometimes I come here for a coffee and a snack and to work. I love the green decor and the airy vibe. I feel like they could also charge much more but I'm always pleased at how fairly priced their food is (compared to some other brunch spots).

dulce de leche pao de queijo
Mel N.

I order some takeout and was pleasantly surprised! I got the good pesto brisket sandwich with pao de quejio dough, dulce de leche filled pao de quejio, raspberry mocha latte, and iced guava matcha latte. Wasn't sure what to expect, but the sandwich was delicious! I added habanero fig mayo and it made everything so much better. My only gripe was it was pretty greasy but nonetheless flavorful. The dulce de leche pao de quejio was also the perfect marriage of salty and sweet. Lots of dulce de leche was inside and my belly was content. The drinks however, were not anything special. I wouldn't get them again. I recommend the sandwiches and the dulce de leche pao de quejio!

doce de leite pao de queijo
Marni M.

My friend was excited to share this place with us. Turns out I had been here before for a prior Yelp Elite event years ago. Having only tried their traditional pao de queijo, I was excited to be back again! We got a variety of items including their smoked salted caramel latte iced w/ traditional pao de queijo & doce de leite pao de queijo, crack chicken sandwich, and breakfast gnocchi. We thoroughly enjoyed their delicious drinks in the comfortable and quiet environment. The name crack chicken was fitting since it was so addicting to eat. The gnocchi was also delicious drowning in the rich tomato soup/sauce. Overall, we had a great experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm very happy to have come back again and be more than satisfied with my visit. Looking forward to the opportunity coming again!

Yummy pao de quejio, but the value is questionable. By 1:00 pm on a Monday, they were out of several key ingredients that they use on their sandwiches including bacon and mozzarella. Service was also disorganized and rushed. Matcha latte with oat milk was pretty good.

brigadeiro cookie
Hallie L.

The strawberry matcha was AMAZING. I would definitely come back just for the matcha, the strawberry flavor was very strong. The cookie was pretty good, a little pricy but the cookie itself is bigggg. Fun to get but probably wouldn't again just because outside of the novelty of this giant cookie with chocolate, it tasted like a standard cakey chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate. The bacon benedict was pretty good, the pao de queijo was very enjoyable. However, outside the pao de queijo, the rest of the meal was just decent, nothing too special.

Sunny stack
Amy X.

Love love love! I'd been wanting for a long time to come for pao de queijo - Brazilian chewy cheese bread. My first visit did not disappoint! The Sunny Stack was impressively loaded with scrambled egg and tons of avocado/guacamole on the side, and the (BBQ-based) happy sauce on the side indeed made me very happy. Warning: it gets very messy once you add the two to the already full sandwich! The pao de queijo bun was even better (chewier and cheesier) than expected. It was very reasonably priced too. The guava pao de queijo was filled with lots of delicious guava jam. I had leftovers for dinner. The bread texture was different but still enjoyable. The entire sandwich smushed down a lot over the few hours, which actually made it less messy to eat. They have a sign saying no computers allowed on weekends. I saw a mix of people on laptops, people chatting, and people just focused on eating. Spacious with plenty of seating. Service was great too!

crack chicken
Hursuong V.

Such a cute lil cafe! Fresh and bright atmosphere and food. I just wish the portions and water cups are bigger!!! Super busy on the weekends so would be smart to ask a friend to grab a table while you stand in line. Definitely a great place to catch up with friends. I want to come back to try their guava matcha latte!

Pao de quejo
Abigail C.

Came for the pao de quejo and definitely was not disappointed. I ordered a 4 pack and ate it over a couple of days- the bread warms well in a toaster oven and maintained its chewiness.

Berry mochi waffles
Jacob C.

Great food and super quick/efficient service! The weekend line was a little long but moved really quick and food was at our table within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The Brazilian cheese bread pastries and sandwiches are pillowy and delicious and they have an excellent array of coffee and tea drinks.

Love their matcha and cheese and garlic bread. It's usually packed so seats are hard to find! No laptop policy enforced on the weekend.

It was tasty, greasy (in a good way), and the spiced fries were a nice change up. My wife and I ordered a bottle of wine which was priced quite reasonably.

TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

We were part of a large group (12 diners) for a pre-wedding dinner/party…read more Except for the couple getting married, I believe the rest of our party were the only out-of-towners dining that evening. This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options. There is a street-side patio if you wish to watch the people and cars at Davis Square. Five Horses serves American comfort food, and they do a pretty good job serving up their offerings. I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. If I lived here, this would be in my rotation for a brew or two, catch a game, and enjoy a burger.

I try not to post negative reviews but I do not recommend the flank steak. I saw it (flank steak,…read morechimmichurri sauce, mashed potatoes, and broccoli) at $29 and said I haven't ordered a steak in while, let's treat myself. Boy was I disappointed, it was literally four tiny slices of beef, about a ladle and a half of mashed potatoes (flavor was great but the texture was dry and it was hard to swallow), and the broccoli was broccoli. The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) but it was room temp and I would describe that serving size as maybe the equivalent of a medallion. Everything else our table ordered (pizza, shepherd's pie, and a burger) looked great but the flank steak is not it y'all. However the service was top notch and will definitely go back, just won't order the flank steak next time!
