Coffee culture runs deep in Cambridge. With two major universities and a thriving tech sector, the demand for quality coffee — and the right atmosphere to drink it in — has produced one of New England's most distinctive cafe scenes. Independent roasters dominate here, and nearly every shop doubles as a workspace, study hall, or community gathering spot.
