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 come. These days we don’t feel like our weekend has started until the whole family heads to Simon’s for a morning treat and some caffeine to fuel the rest of the weekend’s adventure.
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
Delicious coffee and food. I usually order an iced matcha, which is always delicious, but the coffee is also always really good. The blueberry scones are to die for! 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 if there's one person in there or a line out the door. Will definitely be going back, and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice breakfast in Cambridge.
Best coffee in town! Consistently great espresso and cappuccinos. Friendly, competent and efficient staff. Charming atmosphere.
This is one of my favorite coffee shops! I really love their coffee—the taste is rich and well-balanced. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for relaxing or hanging out. Their desserts are also delicious. Highly recommended! ☕✨
