Delicious desserts and a phenomenal wine selection set in a candle-lit, cozy bar — what more could you ask for!

The friendly staff, excellent records, and purple touches give the bar the coziest, "you're exactly where you're supposed to be" feeling.

The tiramisu with the nerocapitano can't be missed!

Charming place for delicious desserts and wine. It is clear that the focus is on quality; what you taste, and the conversations you have (no phones). Quality right down to the dishes and glasses you eat and drink from. It’s a must for a memorable experience.

Zuzu’s has the best desserts. I’ve never had chocolate mousse or brownies like these, they’re insane. I love that they have wine pairings listed for all the food, makes it really easy to have an amazing dining experience. No phone policy is great my friends and I just played cards the whole time. Definitely coming back!

My favorite place to relax with a glass of wine!! I love the no phones rule here. The whole atmosphere encourages connection- cozy seating, table games, and great records. Nice in the winter to warm up (I had a perfect apple crisp yesterday!!) and great patio seating in the summer. Highly recommend!!!

Zuzu’s Petals has the cutest aesthetic, incredible desserts & wine, and outstanding customer service (a combination that is so rare to find these days).

The desserts truly are the best I’ve ever had and pair perfectly with the wine options. The record player, Polaroid pictures on the wall, and cell-phone free environment are subtle touches that contribute to the perfect ambience of Zuzu’s Petals.

The staff and owners are always so friendly and make dining here a full experience. I take any out-of-town visitors to Zuzu’s and they are always impressed, I couldn’t recommend this place more.

This lovely spot is a modern throwback, the opposite of the ubiquitous large sterile restaurant full of people looking at their phones. Service is friendly and personable, the wine selection is fantastic and unique, and the desserts are every bit as good as you would hope they would be. Especially the crème brûlée! It’s casually chic, cozy, fun, and I wish I was there right now!

Cannot wait to frequent this establishment. We walked by and stopped in our tracks and knew immediately this was going to be a big part of our time living in the area. The ambiance is beyond my wildest dreams - people are truly present and treat each other like friends. It’s both personal and aesthetic and the small eats + wine make fit a memorable, luxury-feeling night without a huge cost.

There's a certain effortless cool about this place, an energy many places strive for but very few achieve. The whole thing works because the owners and staff are super friendly in addition to having great taste.

The wine list always has something interesting every time I come back, the décor is interesting but cozy, and the decision to play records in full is a small stroke of genius. Combine these things with a small but mighty dessert menu and you have perhaps the ultimate lubricant for conversation.

Zuzu's is a must-visit if you're in the Inman area and can grab a seat. It is almost certainly my favorite bar in Cambridge.

Love it here. Incredible food, ambiance, rich with charm. It’s been so long since I’ve sat on a patio with a glass of Cabernet franc and the talking heads playing. The creme brûlée left me speechless. Overall, resplendent.

I thought the vibe was really good! The desserts were fairly tasty and the staff was nice. I wish I liked wine a bit more so I’d be open to trying more but the doodle rose did the job.

I’ve visited several wine bars in Cambridge/Somerville area and Zuzu’s is by far the best. Perfect spot for a date night or celebration. Plus the service is great! The owners source wines from around the world. My favorite is the Fond Cyprès.

Sitting here by myself for an hour and a half one afternoon with a book, a drink, and a mushroom toastie was one of the best experiences of my adult life.
