Coffee Shop · East Cambridge · 40 tips and reviews
Lisa Pan: Beautiful interior, not too busy, quiet, good soundtrack, and most importantly, excellent espresso. On top of all they they also have a great tea selection and make tasty liege waffles in house.
Brendon Smith: This is a great little coffee shop that serves Counter Culture beans. They have the best batch drip coffee in the city, with free refills! Chow down on a liege waffle if you get hungry.
T B: A lovely, relaxed, cozy spot. Great beats. Belgian waffles are absolutely delicious. Warm, doughy, not too sweet. Small space. Lots of light. Similar to White Electric in PVD.
Shannon Vossler: Absolutely beautiful walk around a quiet lake, especially at sunset!
Jesse Stigler: Dog splash park, scenery and 2 mile loop.
Brian Kenyon: For people that dont live in Cambridge and need to park, buy a $0.79 cent bottle of water at Whole Foods and use their parking lot. Take that parking stingy Cambridgians!

Cheese Store · West Cambridge · 36 tips and reviews
James Laurenti: Take advantage of the tables outside (coming soon) for a nice, peaceful lunch.

Jessica Allan Schmidt: Visit their cheese cave. It's totally worth it. Read more.
Nate Beatty: Quiet hotel moments from Kendal and friendly, helpful staff.

Dens: Whoa, free wine tasting from 5-6p every night! And leopard skin rugs in every room. Meeeooowww!
Anu Sharma: The coop cafe serves cheesecakes from Cheesecake Factory! The third floor is quiet and has a lot of study tables- buy yours a dessert and spend a few quiet hours here- it'll be a perfect afternoon :)
nancie scheirer: 4 floors of books - just amazing! This is a store that can't be missed if you're a book junkie!

Linda Gómez: Best Espresso around!!! Delicious, healthy and comfortable food. Very nice staff and ambiance! I will definitely go back!

Sarah M.: So much fun great place for the little ones

Japanese Restaurant · North Cambridge · 5 tips and reviews
Louisa Rigali: This place is the best. I go every other Thursday for dinner with my parents. Cheap and very fresh. I love their salmon — plain salmon rolls and Alaska rolls are bomb.
Yasemin: Quick and fresh! Great for take out and they have plenty of vegan options.
Joey Cohen: The sashimi is excellent, especially if you eat at the sushi bar (they sometimes serve smoked white tuna, which is the best tasting food on Earth)
