Unfortunately this location doesn’t meet the same standard as some of the others from my experience. I stopped by and not only were they out of the meat for the sandwich I ordered, they were out of bread. All bread. A sandwich shop that has no bread. Needless to say I wasted 15 minutes in line to have to leave and go somewhere else.
I’ve been coming here for a decade plus, and I’ve generally been happy with their portion sizes and sandwich flavors. However, today I got the Radcliffe, and it is anything but the aforementioned - it’s ridiculously small, the biscuit crumbles as you eat it, and it lacked any real flavor. All that for $9.50? You’ve got to be kidding me!I’ll always give them another shot, but I highly recommend avoiding this breakfast sandwich.
I think my nickname for the place is all too appropriate: “Darwin’s, Survival of the Richest.” That, notwithstanding, I continue to patronize it because the sandwiches at all their locations are the best (though I wish pumpernickel were an option) and their Florentines pretty special. I might also add that the service is as slow as it is personable—that is to say, very!
Moca review:November 24, 2021Excellent mocha! Great foam layer, nice decoration from the barista on top, and good balance of espresso and chocolate all the way down. Seems odd to make it with chocolate milk, but it means there is no residue at the bottom of the cup and no change in flavor as you drink it. It’s a standard thing at the Darwins Cafes. They use chocolate milk from Thatcher Farms, which hits my sweet spot for being on the dry side and not too sweet.
Solid selection of drinks and sandwiches! Be sure to get there before Noon on weekdays to try the breakfast variety. Nice atmosphere that isn’t as crowded as other locations near Harvard Square. Plenty of places to sit, work, study, sip, and chat!
Overall good but way too expensive. I paid more than 12$ for a small piece of sourdough toast with avocado and an egg… I don’t understand their pricing - a bagel would have been the same price even though it has 2 pieces of bread!
Glad I did. Great breakfast sandwich, made fresh. Latte wasn't the best, but ok. Another one located in Harvard Square area.
Nice little sandwich chain in Cambridge. Staff is friendly. Sandwiches and pastries are great especially if you want something to go that’s a step up from like chipotle or Subway. Also like that they sell other miscellaneous items too and have unique looking decor.
always delicious, but a 30 minute wait for avocado toast today was surprising! Glad to see people Re spending money locally!
Stop doing or limit delivery, and start looking after your customers who visit your store. 35 minutes later and I've still yet to receive two sandwiches. While we were told of the delay, we were told after ordering our sandwiches at payment. And after 35 minutes, advised there is no roast beef to fill my roast beef sandwich.....Coffee is great, breakfast sandwiches on point but service always disappoints.
