Fantastic coffee, amazing pastries. Just watch out for the oversized strollers (LOL), it's a place loved and frequented by runners and their babies
I like good espresso and this shop consistently makes it. Alternative milks are steamed properly and the pulled shots are fairly consistent. They occasionally over or under extract, but honestly it's one of the most consistent shops I've been to so I can't really knock them for it.
A bit busy and hard to find seating but coffee was amazing. Expensive with additions like oat milk or flavor but really really good coffee.
Hands down the best lattes in Cambridge served by the friendliest staff. Simon is so kind and the amazing vibes in the coffee shop reflect his kindness. It’s a neighborhood gem where locals gather, talk and support one another and their community. I wrote half my dissertation in this coffee shop and will remain a loyal customer for years to …
Great experience there. Friendly staff, great deluxe breakfast sandwich, tasty coffee ☕️ We came here everyday for breakfast while visiting Cambridge !
Great cozy little cafe with outdoor seating for nice weather, full selection of hot and cold coffee and tea drinks, with a few uncommon offerings. Sandwiches, bagels, and some pastries give you plenty of options for food, with the Hummus Avocado Veggie sandwich being an awesome one.
Great matcha! And amazing prices and sizes will defined come back. Beautiful barista art as well. Good place to stay for a long chat and hang with a friend or a date

But the best thing about this place has to be the service. The team at Simon's is welcoming and friendly, and always go above and beyond for their customers, no matter …
Best coffee in town! Consistently great espresso and cappuccinos. Friendly, competent and efficient staff. Charming atmosphere.
