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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Iced Thai tea matcha latte

I got the iced Thai matcha, and as someone who normally loves both drinks separately, this might've been a bit too astringent for me. The Thai tea flavor definitely comes through, but it wasn't the best blend with matcha. Not bad overall though :)

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.

Kouig aman
Joy G.

Cute cafe/bakery in Cambridge Crossing. If I lived nearby, I'd come here all the time. I wanted to order one of everything off their menu. Settled on the Kouig Aman, which had beautiful layers of soft flaky dough encased in an outer crispy layer dusted with sugar and cinnamon. Not the easiest thing to eat gracefully or without getting crumbs all over your lap but well worth it. On a second visit, we got the maple caramel bun. It was so sweet, it hurt my teeth. Do not get unless you really like caramel. For savory options, I also got a chicken Caesar salad wrap, with generous chunks of grilled chicken inside, but when the woman behind the counter fished it out of a mini-fridge nearby, I kinda wished I had gotten something warm/made to order. The wrap was ice cold and maybe not the best thing to eat on a frigid day. My husband's Cobb salad with the grilled chicken looked good - the portion was generous for the price ($14 for a salad with so much protein, and $4 for the extra chicken). The only downside is there isn't a ton of seating, so if you come during the weekend brunch prime rush, be prepared to loiter for a while for seats to open up.

Service is so so slow! I waited 5 minutes with another customer for someone to come from out back to the counter. How do you survive?

Delicious coffee, super cute space, and refreshing food…read more It's a bus yourself restaurant with an unassuming outdoor space in the back for additional seating. They generally require you to order before sitting given the small space so keep that in mind when you arrive. Service is friendly and very quick. Their food is delicious and refreshing, however I'd say the star of the show is their coffee. I really enjoyed the Saigon latte especially paired with the DELICIOUS pastry.

The restaurant had a really great ambiance, and I enjoyed being able to watch the chefs prepare the food. We ordered the ginger cabbage salad, the coconut eggplant, and the duck noodles. I would have loved to have tried their sushi grade salmon, but they were unfortunately sold out for the night. So I would recommend arriving earlier if you would like to try it. My favorite dish was the duck noodles. I liked the freshness of the basil in the pesto, and the tenderness and juiciness of the duck. The coconut eggplant was a close second favorite. The coconut flavor was delicious, and I liked the nuts on top for crunch. I also found the ginger cabbage salad to be yummy, but not as much as a standout as the other two dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot for dinner. I liked how fresh everything was, and how the dishes felt very light and healthy. It's definitely a bit on the pricier side, but I found it to be very worth it. I definitely come back and try their lattes and other dishes.
