Great food! And perfectly balanced drinks. Best mocha in Cambridge by far. Super kind folks. And a cozy atmosphere.

I am Ukrainian and lived in Cambridge in 2023. I was working in Walgreens. And Simon's become for me a very important space where i felt support and kindness. I am in Poland now, but i miss you all guys and want to say a great thanks for very tasty coffee, for special atmosphere for your smiling faces. Even rainy days was fool of light with you.Love you all, yours Catherine.

I came to this place two times and after the last one I don’t think I’ll go back. It’s a small cozy place, but it’s hard to get in since it’s always pretty packed. The last time I went, the business manager started to make sure we knew they were closing soon by removing chairs, turn off the music and cleaning the table that we were still using, all of this before closing time. When he stood by me expecting for me to empty my coffee cup it made me feel very upset. I let him know that I was still finishing my coffee and he was very rude.

Cozy coffee shop with great coffee, friendly batistas, and nice baked goods. Haven't tried the sandwiches yet but heard they are good.

First time I’d been to this cafe -all food served on disposable plates, that you need to clear & put in trash…I didn’t know, and got ‘instructed’ to do so when I got up to leave. Could have done without the attitude first thing in the morning….pretty rude & arrogant. Won’t be back.

The cookies are delicious, chewy, and large. Well, I only had the toffee one, but I throughly enjoyed it. Service is friendly. It's a narrow space and always packed when I've been in.

Bagel was okay but they gave me just a tiny smear of cream cheese when I paid for it. It was a 4$ bagel and I felt soooooooo ripped off ?

Great spot with nice staff. Quiet and relaxing vibe...(no sound track ??)>Avocado toast, should be on toasted bread tho, no?... Good news: sour dough was nice and greens were fresh>Yogurt and granola cup- nice, not too sweet, touch of honey in plain yogurt, but fairly light on the fruit>Bagel with CC, there was about teaspoon of CC on it...really?

I came here to grab coffee on a Saturday morning around 9am. The cashier was super nice and patient with me while I figured out what to get. I picked up hot coffee, a Gibraltar (cortado), and a maple oat scone. The coffee was good, and the scone was the perfect fall snack. I'm a little hesitant to order them because they can be quite dry, but it was fresh and cakey. The cortado had cooled off and the foam had separated by the time I got it; perhaps it had been sitting behind the bar for a while? Oh well-- c'est la vie. The inside of the cafe is super cozy and it would be the perfect place to curl up with a good book.

The mocha latte from here is my favorite! There people are friendly and the aesthetic is nice.

Very good coffee and breakfast bagels, somewhat pricy given the size / quantity A good / cute local spot NO FREE WIFI ! Not ideal for studying !

Decent coffee and looks cozy inside but once I looked closely there were SO many fruit flies all over the walls. Immediately lost my appetite.
