    Breakfast tacos with carnitas and a mocha
    Kevin G.

    Excellent menu. Pastries to the side of the counter looked amazing but I went for protein. The food is fresh, clean, crisp, and light. The tacos had tons of flavor. They included cherry tomatoes which I can't have and weren't on the menu so I had to dig them out but no biggie. Coffee was tasty but I ordered it extra hot and it was barely hot. Staff was friendly and helpful. It but busy quickly, but not crowded.

    Every time we come here, our expectations are exceeded. It's a cafe with an assortment of baked goods that changes regularly. My personal test is simple: if a cafe's black coffee is good, then everything else usually is too--and Cafe Beatrice passed the test. Once you move into their lattes, you're in for a treat. The last one I had was a matcha brewed with apple cider and sweetened with a chai syrup. It was a soft, fall-time win. If you're here, I'd say go all out and order one of their specialty lattes. The baked goods are generally puff pastry or croissant-based, either filled or topped with fruit, jam, or sweetened cheese. My favorite was probably a raspberry pastry (though the photo I posted was on Yelp over a year ago, my first visit here). I haven't tried their food yet, but from what I've seen, it looks good. For some reason, this place also seems to bring in a lot of bicyclists. There's street parking available, and it's right by the Lechmere station.

    greek salad

    I ordered lunch here via a catering service during the work week. Because of this I can't speak on the ambiance or staff so this review is solely based on the one item I ordered which was a Greek salad. The salad was good especially the chicken. However there wasn't much substance to it and so I was hungry after my meal. I would've appreciated a bean inside the salad or bread to go along with it. Because of this I probably wouldn't order this again.

    Toffee chocolate chip cookie

    Nice coffee shop with unique pastries and food. I tried the Maple kouign amann, autumn puff with pumpkin cheesecake, and the toffee chocolate chip cookie. I didn't enjoy the maple kouign or autumn puff much, even though they look really interesting. The toffee chocolate chip cookie was delicious and I highly recommend! It has enormous chocolate chunks in it. For drinks I had a normal latte as well as a gingerbread spice latte. Both were solid and no complaints there. The gingerbread one also wasn't overly saturated with sugar. The daily specials menu hints at a really diverse food menu and I'm excited to try out the burgers, quesadillas, and sandwiches! Lots of people working on laptops and a hip productive environment.

    Salted toffee chocolate chip cookie
    Jeff K.

    New to Cambridge and needed Matcha to revive me after a long run and found this gem. Had: Matcha latte with oat milk (great, resurrected me) Salted toffee chocolate chip cookie (huge had to cut into 2 portions but good) Didn't even truly touch the surface of the menu, but will be back.

    buffalo chicken sandwich
    Isabella C.

    I love that there's a cafe in such a convenient location near the stop! The food was very fresh and flavorful. I loved the cherry matcha and hope it stays on the menu! There is a good amount of seating and a cozy fireplace inside- with lots of windows to let in natural light. The workers were very friendly as well!

    Nice relaxing place to enjoy a drink and pastry. I came on a Wednesday morning and while there were people scattered here and there, I was easily able to find a seat. There were people working on their laptops as well as those just there to enjoy a morning drink. There's more seating off to the side, as well as individual bathroom stalls. I got an iced chai and their monkey bread. The chai could have had more flavor and the bread was a little tough. I enjoyed the atmosphere though, so I'd definitely return to try more of their menu.

    Good breakfast spot in Cambridge. They have daily specials, my boyfriend got the breakfast burrito special on a Saturday which he really enjoyed. I liked my bacon, egg and cheese--ingredients were fresh. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Interior had a woodsy cabin feel equipped with a fireplace, I imagine this place feels very cozy in the winter. Food and drinks came out fast as well.

    Oat latte with caramel shot
    Monica C.

    A local favorite of mine -- phenomenal cinnamon rolls and espresso drinks with seasonals and food is great too, with great vibes. The guava pastry is also so delicious. Good indoor lighting and patio seating for warmer weather days. Service has always been excellent in all my visits. A+ overall!

    Nicole N.

    Tasty pastries at a solid price point! So glad we stopped by before heading out of Boston! --toffee chocolate chip: generous chunks of chocolate with good toffee flavors. It was nicely crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. --earl grey cookie: loved the strong earl grey tea flavors and the additional sugar crystals that really resemble the tea and gave it a different type of crunch! Despite the sugar crystals it wasn't overly sweet for a cookie. --kouign amann: Crispy, flaky, buttery with a slightly sweet exterior from the maple sugar. Didn't have much flavor on the inside but overall pretty good. --pistachio cheesecake: the cheesecake is encased in the middle, around flaky and airy pastry with chocolate ganache on top. The chocolate had some orange citrus notes that went well together, but taken with the cheesecake and the pastry, it felt like too much was going on. Did like the textural contrast between the pastry, cake, and runny ganache nevertheless. Staff were smiley and polite. Good amount of seating options inside with lots of natural lighting. Liked the gold and teal accents. Felt like a good environment for a weekend brunch or to catch up on some studying!

    Cappuccino
    Masmin P.

    Enjoyed a passion fruit brioche and cappuccino for breakfast. Brioche base had a slight crisp to it, and the passion fruit filling was soft with the consistency of mousse, sweet and a little tart. So cosy. Everything came out quickly and server was pleasant.

    Breakfast tacos
    Ellie C.

    Such a cute café near the Lechmere T stop! The decor is clean and new and the vibe is calm and relaxed, with plenty of natural light coming through the full-wall windows and soft music playing in the background. I love their breakfast tacos (I ordered without cheese): fresh and flavorful cherry tomatoes, avocado, green chili sauce, and fried egg on soft shell tortillas. So fresh and savory. Sadly, I was looking forward to trying their weekend-only breakfast burrito, but was informed that it cannot be made dairy-free since it is premade. I panic-ordered their egg and cheese breakfast sandwich instead (subbed tomato for the cheese), but would probably get one of the options with more ingredients next time, as those seem more flavorful and worth the price. Overall, I'll keep coming back for their breakfast tacos and to try some of their other menu items! I could see this being a great place to get work done and/or to relax.

    Cinnamon roll
    Alice Z.

    Love the pastries here especially the cinnamon roll. They use a laminated dough for a lot of their pastry items so think a croissant with cinnamon butter and a maple frosting - sooo amazing. Also really like the cookies, they are massive and the perfect texture. The space is connected to the restaurant under the same owners, but plenty of seating and open very late compared to other bakeries/cafes.

Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office. After about 40 minutes, the bread had become somewhat dry and hard.
