A decade-plus neighborhood fixture on Mass Ave. The shop's long, narrow layout, rotating art, and community bulletin board make it one of the last classic independent third-places in Cambridge.

Long, narrow neighborhood coffee shop between Harvard and Porter Squares. Quality espresso, pastries, bagels, and sandwiches. Rotating local art, a loaded community bulletin board, and regulars who treat it like their second living room.
