Area Four (One Kendall Square)

Area Four at one kendall is a delight! definitely a smaller food menu than the main location, but the same great A4 flavors. I don't drink coffee, but I love the tea and tea latte options :) the best baristas, chefs, and a lovely manager!!

Nice cafe perfectly located for people working in the neighborhood. Not too many seats, but the ones that are there are comfortable.

I had a black earl grey tea (leafs), that was delicious.

Be careful when you talk about business ideas. Everybody here is a life science person.

This is single-handedly my favorite place to eat in Cambridge. The shop is simple, but cosy, and I have never struggled to hear my lunch and dinner partners. The drinks are delicious, I especially loce their homemade ginger beer. The pizza is INCREDIBLE. High quality ingredients on homemade sourdough crust—it doesn't get better than that.

Really good coffee and croissants. Would’ve given it a 5 if half of my coffee wasn’t just ice

What is the best pizza? It's the pizza you can enjoy. And Area 4 pizzas just make you enjoy each bite you have. The pizza dough is special, chewy like a bagel, but still crispy on the outside, Apparently, their sourdough starter is 15 years old. Is there a better pizza place in Boston? Maybe, but after having dined at Area 4 I have no urge in searching for anything else. This was a perfect flavor experience.

This pizza is amazing! Love the sourdough crust and the toppings are so flavorful. My favorites are the margarheta and the fontina mushroom pizza. The Greek salad was also excellent. Love Area Four!

The food was really good, but the vibe was a little lackluster for a Saturday night. I expected it to be more lively, maybe it was quiet because it's spring break/Easter... The food was excellent, though! I loved the shaved brussel sprout and kale salad ??

First time experience at area four. Caesar salad was delicious, pizza was just OK very dry. Hardly any tomato sauce. Very chewy prosciutto. Giant pretzel was also delicious. Service was average.

We've been regular diners at Area Four since shortly after its inception many years ago. A4 always had great food and excellent service, with a lively and fun atmosphere. Our recent visits to A4 have unfortunately been more disappointing than favorable. Whereas pizzas in the past were always well-assembled and flavorful, now every pie seems to be devoid of taste and assembled and cooked with indifference. I can't help but lay the blame for that on an inexperienced and inattentive kitchen staff. The wait staff now seems newish and inexperienced as well, but the real problem that needs to be addressed at A4 immediately is the mediocrity of the food. I wish it weren't so.

Went for lunch on a Saturday with a friend. We got a Caesar salad to share and two small pizzas. The salad was great and the pizzas were phenomenal! Service was adequate. Will definitely be back

Pretty good coffee and baked goods. Haven’t had the pizza! Most accessible through the outside entrance. Great spot if you work at one Kendall

One star to get the owner's attention about parking.Small businesses need to advocate for themselves as the city aggressively tickets and removes parking. Imagine another pandemic shutting down business in Kendall. You need to accommodate cars.

We were excited about trying out this restaurant after others raved about the pizza. The service was great, and so were the zero alcohol cocktails, but the ambiance and food were below average. Our table was in the corner of the dining room next to a stack of unused pizza boxes topped by a potted plant. We ordered the garlic knots, baby bok choy, and margherita pizza. The garlic knots were not knots, they were just big bready square rolls with a sprinkling of topping. The bok choy was nice and tasty. The pizza had very little flavor, either in the crust or the sauce. Also, I was surprised that a pizza restaurant had no veggie pizza option on the menu. Underwhelming and we'll try another place next time.

Very disappointed with both pizzas we ordered. The quality of area four seems to have slipped. The cheese slid right off the pizza indicative of a poor quality cheese and barely any of the pizza was covered. The crust was gooey and the pizza folded right up. On a positive side the buffalo mozzarella and kale/shaved Brussels sprout pizza was great as were the garlic bits and marinara sauce. But since this is a place known for for its pizza, I would pass. There are far better pizzas to be had in Boston.
