Amrit Plaha Chavada: Chickpea fritter sandwich, Japanese sweet potato sandwich and all the herbal teas! Coconut lentil soup is awesome. Plan an early lunch/dinner if you want to make it in time for the Pushpir sandwich!
Heather Liu: The mezzo platter is so good! Hummus :)
Peter Rukavina: The Brussels Sprout sandwich is out of this world, as is the potato salad. I love this place.

Chase Maxwell: Their homemade bagels and lentil soup will overcome any dismal, rainy Boston day. Their espresso is excellent, provided you ask for enough espresso--their lattes can be watery.
Tristan: They really love making (and talking about) coffee. It comes through in their espresso, which is hands-down the best in the entire Boston area.
Christopher Young: One of the best Mocha's around.

Luke Bornheimer: Lentil soup was filling and tasty. Salads and full meals looked awesome and were flavorful.
Peter Paul Payack: Everything is good, but go with the Emperor or Romantic Wrap. Call ahead for take out & they let you skip the line (it's always packed).
Eric Leist: About 80% of the customers come before or after a yoga class, just bring a yoga mat so you fit in.

Marguerite Avery: Excellent coffee - perfect for sipping black. Cookies are good too - big and slightly chewy.
Peter Boyce: Most lavish way to study in the Square-- grab a Golden Crema & try the Bacon-Turkey-Avocado sandwich with jicama slaw.
Harvard University: Always bustling at lunch time, Crema’s wide variety of drinks and fresh food is worth the wait! House-made pastries and creative sandwich options provide something for everyone. Read more.

Josette: Great espresso drinks and croissants - and wonderful children's play and reading corner
Adam Besvinick: Great mocha, pay with Square, and pour over coffee. Feels like Sightglass in SF except Dwelltime has free wifi.
barismo bicycle: The younger sister shop to barismo, this fresh new high volume cafe quickly has become a Cambridge favorite. Excellent espresso and drip coffee, full kitchen. Fresh retail stocked twice a week.
