Cortney Evans: Loved the BLT - panini bread, fresh crushed tomatoes, thick juicy bacon, and arugula! Takin it to the next level for sure.

Ice Cream Parlor · Harvard Square · 86 tips and reviews
Bikabout: A local ice cream chain done good, they're guaranteed to be popular on sunny days, and well worth the small line, which usually moves quickly. The coconut almond chip ice cream is where it's at.
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.

Shopping Mall · East Cambridge · 57 tips and reviews
Rebecca Dean: So happy to see Sophisticakes here! These cupcakes are absolutely delicious - put all the cupcake hype aside and don't miss out. You deserve soft peanut butter cream on top of perfect cake dears.
Madeline Anderson: Food court is awesome, and you can't beat the location. Inexpensive shuttle to Kendall/MIT to explore even more! Great mid range shops and the bigger stores you're looking for like Sears and Best Buy.
Jake Smith: Head to the back of the mall to find a rather serene waterway right in the heart of Cambridge. It's no Venice, but it's better than pavement.

James Moreau-Drew: Love the Cauli of the Sea and crave it quite frequently. I like to order a really large side salad as well, not because I need it but because its so tasty. Jackfruit BBQ great too!
Shane Solar-Doherty: TRY EVERYTHING. Everyone should have to eat here everyday.
Melinda Green: Order a chickpea-mushroom burger topped with red pepper puree, roasted tomatoes, and goat cheese. This carnivore could eat one every day.
