They seem to care about their customers and about giving them a good experience. For example, I had ordered 3 drinks but from 2 orders and the barista was already putting my drinks in a carrier and with a sticker on the top so it didn't spill without me asking! My drinks were made great too so truly 10/10 for the effort to giving me good service and making my day! I liked that they have some tables inside to sit and it's close to Harvard Square so it's a great location around the area. I will be back!

The dark chocolate on top which was not too sweet. The filling had (I assume) crispy vermicelli and I've never tried anything like it before. It gave it crunch with every bite and the cream itself was also tasty. Very creative and well executed. I also got the salted brown butter crueller which as others have mentioned was quite dense but I still enjoyed it, especially the icing. Ambiance is mostly takeout, and service was quick and friendly. I'd recommend making your donut decisions before you step in because once you see their case, it's harder haha.

Pavement Coffeehouse - Symphony is a neighborhood café that combines specialty coffee, bagels, and…read morea comfortable space that works well for studying, meeting friends, or taking a break. We walked into a location that has more of a relaxed café feel compared to a typical grab-and-go coffee shop, with plenty of seating and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a convenient stop before or after visiting the nearby Symphony area. The layout is open and inviting, with a mix of tables and communal seating that accommodates both quick stops and longer visits, and the energy of the room stays calm and approachable throughout the day. The coffee is one of the main reasons to visit. The espresso drinks are smooth and well balanced, and we found the Spanish latte particularly enjoyable, with a subtle sweetness that complemented the espresso without masking it. The matcha and cold brew are also popular choices, and the café does a good job with the basics, delivering drinks that feel thoughtfully prepared rather than just quick coffee. Their drip coffee is a solid option if you prefer something simple, and the quality holds up across the different drink styles. The bagels and sandwiches are the other major highlight. The menu has a variety of bagel options, including classics and more creative combinations like the rosemary salt bagel. The bagels have a soft interior with a slightly firmer exterior, and they work especially well with breakfast sandwiches. We tried the Sunrise bagel and the lox bagel, both of which came together well, with fresh ingredients and a good balance of flavors. The variety of dietary options also stood out, with gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan choices available, making it easier for different preferences to find something. The atmosphere is one of the strongest parts of Pavement Symphony. There is enough space to sit comfortably, and the café has a good study-friendly environment with plenty of outlets and natural light. It can get busy during peak hours, especially with students and people working remotely, so seating may be harder to find at certain times, but the energy of the room stays focused and comfortable. The service can vary depending on the rush, but the staff generally keep things moving, and the ordering process is efficient. The biggest consideration is value. Some items, especially certain drinks and bagel combinations, can feel a little expensive compared to simpler coffee shops, but the quality is good and the café experience itself is what sets it apart. Pavement Coffeehouse at Symphony is a reliable café with good coffee, solid bagels, and a comfortable space. It is the kind of place we would visit when we want to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere rather than just quickly pick up a drink, offering a dependable stop for a morning coffee, a light meal, or a study session that feels both practical and inviting.

Their Death Cream was also popular in which you can get regular or Maple cream - love that they have a separate Sweet section on their drinks menu. We got the Sunrise Bagel Sandwich - while it had a generous amount of fluffy eggs, there was only a singular piece of bacon and cheddar cheese which was a bit of a letdown.

The second time I was there a young lady (who appeared to be very new) had a hard time operating the terminal. She was sent away to go make drinks which led to a very long line of people waiting for iced coffees. Mine was right on the second try (skim milk and caramel shot is kind of tough) and I wasn't mad about it but on a busy morning, the poor thing would probably have a nervous breakdown. Not a horrible experience but could use some additional training and polish with the staff.
