The food and coffee is absolutely delicious. There’s also a great selection of scones and muffins. The service can be subpar - it took 35 mins for my sandwich to come out after my cappuccino. It’s not a great spot if you have a limited time for lunch. Staff go on their phone behind the counter which makes it feel a little unprofessional, especially when multiple people are waiting around the counter for the food. Atmosphere is great for getting a calm fresh vibe while meeting friends or having a coffee and book by yourself.

I asked for more hot water for my tea. “We don’t do refills,” the person at the register said. Seriously?! The tea Nazi. “No hot water for you!” This is Cambridge in a nutshell. Take your business elsewhere.

I love this place! I’ve only been in a few times , but every drink I’ve tried (latte with orange blossom syrup, matcha latte, and hot chocolate) has been great with perfect foam and latte art on top. Their scones and cookies are delicious too! Also just love their atmosphere and decor. Super cute, cozy place that I’ll be going back to frequency.

I cannot believe today was my first time trying this place. The staff were lovely, the coffee spectacular, and the food incredible! The oatmilk cortado was perfect, the espresso and milk prepared perfectly. And the breakfast sandwich with caramelized onions on a pretzel roll: heaven. Day. Made. Thank you!

Cute little bakery-breakfast place with a range of bagel options! Don't miss the one with salmon!

I ordered a matcha latte and ended up waiting around 30 minutes, even though the café wasn’t busy at all. I saw multiple people who ordered after me get their drinks first. When I asked the staff about my order, I was brushed off and just told to wait because “the queue is long,” with no apology or effort to check what happened. Mistakes happen, but the attitude and lack of basic customer service were really disappointing. I won’t be coming back. P.S. Matcha tasted awful.

Mariposa is one of my very favorite places to study and sip! The staff are kind, the food is fresh, and people feel present there. So grateful that this is in Central Square!!
