Cafeterias near Cambridge, MA

“A hidden gem on the first floor of the MIT Sloan School of Management. The Marketplace is a little expensive compared to the other lunch options near Kendall Square, but I find that the added cost is fair given the quality and variety of the food that is served here. There are a large number of food options, including daily 'hot meal' specials, sandwiches, burgers, fresh sushi, coffee and pastries. My favorite lunch option, however, is making my own salad at their incredible self-serve salad bar, which always has fresh greens, vegetables, and meat (chicken/ham/seafood/tuna). All in all, I would definitely recommend 100 Main Marketplace to anyone who is looking for a healthier lunch option on Main Street. Note that you do not have to be an MIT affiliate to eat here.“

“I love everything about this place. Food, service, drinks and atmosphere. Today in particular I had the Avacado Toast to Toast, it was delicious! Their outdoor seating is already set up and it’s the cutest place to hang out. Mac and her team are A+!“

“1000% recommend for breakfast!! Their food is cooked to perfection, and you can watch them do it as it's cafeteria style! When we went there was no wait and it had a nice atmosphere. The staff were very kind and the food was very good!With a family of four the cost is upwards of $70 in total, but it is still very very good for the prices. We need more local places like this!!“

“Wow. This place makes other museum cafes look pretty bad. The food is legitimately good. Like, would go to eat here even if I wasn't visiting the museum good. Prices are reasonable, which was a total shock. And, you can sit where you have a beautiful view of the river. Surprisingly wonderful experience when we needed something to eat when visiting the museum.“
