Jonathan Yu: Huron sandwich is a must try. Smoked salmon, tomatoes, onion, cream cheese and fried egg on a sourdough bread!
Adam Sigel: The Memorial Drive is the best breakfast sandwich you’ll get anywhere. Over medium eggs, bacon, avocado, and sharp cheddar. Get it on toasted sourdough.
Lauren Christopher: The best Darwin's in Cambridge! Best seating, best food and best service:)

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!

New American Restaurant · Inman Square · 63 tips and reviews
Dan Roberts: My favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The small plates are the best. Get the swordfish pastrami with mustard ice cream. The potato bread is addicting, we usually get upwards of three rounds ...
Eater: The single most essential Boston restaurant of the moment, in that here chef-owner Will Gilson is more thoroughly tackling a fresh perspective on New England cuisine than anywhere else in the world.

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!
Suzanne Wenz: If you're feeling like dessert, get the chocolate fondue for two. AWESOME!

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.
