Cicada is a charming Vietnamese cafe and restaurant located in Cambridge, known for its delectable dishes and cozy atmosphere. Despite the small size and often long lines outside, the food is worth the wait, with customers raving about the delicious cookies, espresso lattes, shiitake mushroom spring rolls, duck noodle soup, and salmon tartare.
The restaurant seamlessly transitions from a daytime cafe to a cozy nighttime wine bar, offering a versatile appeal. In the mornings, they serve pastries from the renowned Cafe Beatrice, and their coffee, particularly the Sea Salt Shaker, has been praised as one of the best Vietnamese coffees in the city.
The lunch menu features a variety of noodles, banh mi, and rice bowls, such as the Baked Salmon Rice Bowl, which combines sushi-grade salmon with refreshing and flavorful contrasts. The dinner experience is a highlight, with standout dishes like the Charred Whole Eggplant, Spicy Minced Duck, Lemongrass Confit Chicken, and Cured Duck with Red Wine.
While parking can be a challenge, with limited onsite options and nearby street parking or lots, the unique and delightful dining experience at Cicada makes it a must-visit for anyone in the Cambridge area.
