About Faro Café

Faro Café offers a dreamy atmosphere perfect for hanging out or reading. The cafe has a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating, making it a busy but lively spot, especially around Harvard square. The decor features photos and collage-like materials, adding a bohemian and eccentric vibe. The place is known for its friendly staff and a no laptop rule that encourages relaxation. The cafe serves a variety of drinks, including a brilliant juniper latte made with lighter roasts and precise measuring, and the feta scone is highly recommended. There are plenty of international board games available near the counter, perfect for a relaxed visit.

While the iced matcha was passable, the hot matcha was diluted. The pound cake was dense and dry. The cafe charges extra for cow milk but offers oat milk for free, catering to lactose intolerant customers. Some customers noted that the size offerings are smaller than traditional shops, with only 10oz for ice drinks. The espresso received mixed reviews; one person found the cortado's milk too hot and the espresso bitter and weak, especially for takeout, but appreciated the overall vibe. Despite some critiques, many customers love Faro Café for its atmosphere and unique character.
