I got a bite to eat (noodles with mixed vegetables) at an affordable place nearby to where I was working. The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was delightful. I will definitely eat here again if I am in the area. Loved it.

We came here for coffee, and it was really weak, even for someone like me who doesn't like strong coffee. We stopped in because of the 4.7 rating, but my latte wasn't very good. It's an unusual place, part Asian food spot, part coffee shop, and part homemade craft fair. The air conditioning was on super low so it was also too warm in there. I won't return.

Most satisfying lunch I’ve had in a while! I got the salt and pepper chicken bento box and a steamed bun, and I completely cleaned my plate. All the pickled veggies in the bento box were a perfect combo with the chicken, and I always love a tea egg.
Food was ready quickly, staff were kind, and everything felt refreshing. I felt so cozy eating there. Will be thinking about this place until I can come here again!

It was a rainy summer afternoon around 4:45 PM when I stumbled into Concord Avenue Café, grateful to get out of the downpour. I had shown up about 15 minutes early for a dinner reservation nearby, but the restaurant wasn’t ready to seat anyone yet. It was raining hard, and I suddenly found myself stuck outside with nowhere to go—until I noticed this cozy café just a few steps away. It quite literally saved me from getting soaked.
The gentleman at the counter was kind and welcoming. I asked for a recommendation, and he suggested the taro milk tea. I’m so glad I listened. The taro flavor was the best I’ve ever had—deep, nutty, and naturally sweet, with none of that artificial taste you sometimes get from powder-based versions. It was smooth, comforting, and perfectly balanced.
The boba was great too—soft and chewy with just the right amount of bite—but it was the taro that truly made the drink memorable.
The space itself is quiet and modest, with a few small tables and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. I sat by the window, drying off while the rain kept falling outside, and just felt thankful that a place like this was open.
Before leaving, I took a peek at the menu and was surprised by the variety—dumplings, noodle soups, bento boxes. I’m already planning to come back just for the food. The gentleman mentioned they close around 6:30 PM daily, so it’s a great afternoon stop if you’re in the neighborhood.

SUCH a cute little place! I really loved the almond milk tea boba -- it might even be the best boba I've had (and I've often been underwhelmed when I've had it elsewhere).
Maybe my favorite lunch spot in Cambridge! Such amazing and welcoming service, they have a great patio for summertime. Food is delicious; I got a bento box with pork and a taro milk tea. Everything I could want!

Adorable little café with indoor and outdoor seating behind the café. There is a limited amount of parking out front and they close around 6:30 so the parking ends around the time that they close. The store is fully accessible, they have a wide variety of looseleaf tea as well as Stash bagged tea. I got the Genmai cha.
I did one of the Bento boxes with pulled pork, tea eggs, edamame, rice, and veggies. It is absolutely delicious but definitely a little pricey. It was $19 for my tea and my food. But I do love the cafe and the people are super kind.
There is also a lot of knitting work that is for sale. Somebody there makes scarves and hats and such.
I really appreciate that they have notes all over the store and on the front door and on there to go bags reminding customers that they are going to be closed from August 26 until September 9. I really appreciate it when a business does right by their customers and make sure that they know That the place is open or closed. Thank you!
This place smells really bad. Hard to communicate with the woman that she works there. They were not pleasant. First and last time I would go to this place.

Nice little place to grab something fast if you are around! Owner are nice and their tea egg is so good!
Food are always very good. The owners are a very nice chill old couple. Just wish sometimes you can choose fresh salad over pickle veggies
