New American Restaurant · Mid-Cambridge · 29 tips and reviews
Enrico Manalo: Chopped clam pie, wood fired octopus, shrimp Har Gow, and the cinnamon donuts with French press coffee. Everything was good; great service but place filled up quickly.
Brooke Weimar: Oysters, cinnamon sugar donuts, and cocktails !
Jesse T: The smoked whitefish pizza is a delicious affront to traditional Italian food. With fried capers, mascarpone, dill, and an everything-bagel crust, it's easy to forget that you're eating a pizza.
susan zellmann-rohrer: Toast, toast and more toast for breakfast. The cinnamon raisin bread is magnificent.
Ed Sng: Excellent $$ sandwich. The Jeneric is thick smokey pork goodness in house-made crunchy baguette. Iced coffee and cookie also top notch. My 1st time here but will be back.
John Haydon: Breakfast sandwiches are a bit expensive, but very much worth the spend.

Bagel Shop · Neighborhood Nine · 65 tips and reviews
Lauren Christopher: Jeez, everything. Get creative with mixing different spreads with the bagels. My favorites are the everything, cinnamon raisin and the biale.
C Bailey: Cheddar garlic bagel with spicy pepper cream cheese. Be prepared to wait in line but it’s worth every second! Best bagels in Boston, hands down!
Rob: The pretzel bagel is pure perfection, but more traditional flavors like sesame and plain are still out of this world

Rock Club · Harvard Square · 79 tips and reviews
Boston.com: Drink a Kentucky Luau: bourbon with hints of cinnamon, pineapple, and best of all, a floral scent that will leave you craving for more. Try it on the new roof deck. Read more.
Cole Kennedy: Super cool vibe. Like, seriously good design. So much better than most rock clubs. Also a killer lineup of music (and beers).
Thrillist: After taking down some heavenly deviled eggs with crispy bacon bits and a trio of pastrami'd pork belly sliders, you'll want to take matters into your own hands with the Sinclair Burger. Read more.

Ice Cream Parlor · Harvard Square · 86 tips and reviews
Divya Mulanjur: Had the hot chocolate. It was a little too sweet for me but the cinnamon was perfect.
Dan Roberts: The best ice cream in Cambridge/Boston (far better than Toscanini's and Christina's). The best flavors are cappuccino crunch (for coffee/cinnamon lovers), any peanut butter flavor, and brownie batter.
Harvard University: A great locally owned ice-cream shop that will never bore you with its choice of flavors! They also have plenty of frozen-yogurt options as well as smoothies and coffee. Read more.

Pizzeria · Harvard Square · 28 tips and reviews
Philippa Counter: For breakfast try the cinnamon, blueberry coffee cake muffin with fresh green iced tea, lunch a guava smoothie or flat bread pizza with basil! All delicious and easy on the wallet!
CJ Schu: For the adventurous, the daily burger special is always unique & delicious! It is also a very good price for Harvard Square.
Tracy Spetka: On Mondays a whole tomato-basil pizza is only $5.00, get after it.

Serious Eats: While the café offers a slew of other breakfast offerings, if you're in the mood for something decadent, the <strong>Sticky Bun Cinnamon Roll is ideal
Michael Anthony: Cinnamon bun for breakfast
Luke Henry: A close second on my list of best margarita pizzas in Boston.

American Restaurant · Neighborhood Nine · 50 tips and reviews
Sean Coombs: This place has a great brunch offering. Try the cinnamon mascarpone French toast. I literally have dreams about it.
Gilt City: Nothing like its wild Dublin namesake, this Cambridge eatery succeeds in casual sophistication, baller cocktails, and inspired modern cuisine.
Isabel: Great brunch food. The chicken and waffles is very worth eating a whole chicken!

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Mid-Cambridge · 197 tips and reviews
Ryan Nixon: Had the chai smoothie, was very good: strong flavors of banana and cinnamon. Udon miso was great too, loved the kale
Emily Chalko: One of my favorites for a quick healthy but filling bite in Boston. Get the adventurer bowl with avocado! The ginger Namu Shayu sauce will knock your socks off. Amazing smoothies - get the love alive
Eric Leist: About 80% of the customers come before or after a yoga class, just bring a yoga mat so you fit in.

Cheese Store · West Cambridge · 36 tips and reviews
Michael Sattler: Absolutely my favorite place in Cambridge. Try *any* of their in-house sandwiches (trust them-they butcher their own meat) and you won't be disappointed. Cheese samples, happy staff-what's not to love
Jessica Allan Schmidt: Visit their cheese cave. It's totally worth it. Read more.
Tara Spitzen: Best coffee in the neighborhood. Wonderful place to buy a treat for a friend-perhaps a bottle of rosé or beautifully packaged jams and chocolates. The cheese, of course, is exemplary. Try the comte!
