Reviews

• 5★ Just a couple of blocks away from Harvard square - Quiche was one of the best we had. Kids loved the smooth flan like texture. - Chicken salad had amazing baby kale bits. Daughter loved it. - Lemon meringue was delicious. Coming back for sure — the McLim
• 4★ Staff were lovely, food was pretty good, coffee was mediocre, pastries were delicious, prices were a little high. We spent $55 for one bowl, one sandwich, two pastries, and two coffees. Was it good? Sure. Was it worth $55? Nope. — Carrie Lee
• 3★ Coffee was okay, too sweet for me. I ordered lavender latte for the first time. The service was also okay because they forgot or gave my order to someone else. I had to wait for over 30 mins and asked for where my order was. They probably will never find out if I didn’t ask for it. In terms of custo — Hana Sue
