A must go if you find yourself in the area of Harvard, Broadsheet is a highly regarded local roaster with a great store front. Walking in and you're greeted by walls of different roasts to buy and bring home ranging from the classic to more exotic (not a George Howell level of variety but not far off). The space itself is good sized but quite popular so don't expect that a seat is guaranteed. For the coffee itself I went with a lavender soda with a shot of espresso and my wife had a maple latte. The lavender espresso soda was perfectly done with a great mix of the espresso with just a hint of lavender. Even though it was on the cooler side they had a nice selection of outdoor seating on the sidewalk which we enjoyed. read more

Broadsheet Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This is a coffee shop I often buy breakfast from, and this time I tried their local bakery line. Dirty Buns Egg & Cheese Sando: My first impression was that it was a rather uninspired sandwich, without even any vegetables. Why would they charge $10 for a measly amount of egg and cheese...? However, the taste was actually quite good. The bread was soft and buttery, and the cheesy egg was very creamy. Also, if you're ordering online for takeout, it's best to tell the staff when you arrive. Several times I've waited until the designated time to find the staff before they even looked at my order and quickly made and packaged it... read more

This is a lovely coffee shop located in Cambridge. I love the ambiance of the place; it is warm and inviting. Excellent bagel with egg and cheese, the coffee was robust. Service was fast and smooth. read more

this place is absolutely saved by the gorgeous windows/natural light. it has all the hallmarks of a boutique cafe -- a handwritten menu, window-side seating, whitewashed brick. BUT, no wifi, no outlets, and of course a plain latte starts at $5.25. the price might be fine if accompanied by the normal coffeeshop amenities, but given the sweetgreen-esque chairs and plain white walls, this place seems to try to perform as an unplugged gathering/conversation space with none of the ambience to support it. 90% of customers are working, even during prime brunch hours. great craft coffee though. read more

Now that I work down the street from here, I find myself searching for breakfast places with good coffee. Bonus if they are a roaster. Thankfully this place doesn't have Wi-Fi. But even without Wi-Fi students camp here on their laptops and take up tables for hours. So more times than not I had to go elsewhere. I do buy their beans though. It's frustrating for actual customers in any of these coffee shops within walking distance of the campus trying to find a seat. Students basically use it as a library and spend about $5 over the course of two hours while ruining it for real customers. I rated my experience as "OK" because the owner needs to somehow discourage loitering. read more

Another cafe on my list! It is a cute cafe with good lighting and a lot of seatings. It can definitely get packed so you might not get a table easily. The prices are reasonable and they also have seasonal drinks and syrups and a good amount of pastries. I like to get the good old vanilla latte at every new cafe I go to and compare them. The espresso had a rich and smooth flavor; the vanilla was subtle and not overpowering; it was a good ratio of steamed milk as well. One of the top vanilla lattes on my scale for sure. I will definitely be coming back for their other drinks. -9/10 read more

This is a popular coffee shop with nice house made syrups. Service was good and it can get busy here. Tried the mocha which was a nice smooth, creamy drink with bold, bitter espresso that paired well with the slightly sweet dark chocolate. read more

Cute coffee shop with plenty of space and light. I had a nitro cold brew with orange juice (don't remember what it was called exactly) and it was really good! I've had really subpar ones before and was uncertain of the combination actually working together, but once I tried this one, I understood. read more

Local coffee kingpin. Great cafe service, drinks made quickly but with great skill, and a good but simple pastry selection. Local roaster, good variety but many of them have the same particular flavor profile. Yes, there's no WiFi. That's fine. The place is crazy busy especially on weekends; they need to turn tables They are a good place for a chat or reading during slower hours, with amazing lighting through big windows. Closing or opening time when it's slow just hit different. read more

The vanilla latte was so smooth. they use milk from a local farm. Lots of beans to choose from for making espresso at home

Decent coffee and cool ambiance, but nothing above and beyond. Also didn't have breakfast sandwiches because their staff was out. read more

Went on a Sunday morning. There wasn't many people yet so we were able to order immediately. We had one normal cappuccino and one special cappuccino, both were great. The special one was more fruity which my mom really likes. The cardamom bun we had was very good--- not too sweet, very cardamom-y and was satisfying for breakfast. There was outdoor seating too, and was pleasant to sit either next to a window or outdoor catching up with friends. The coffee shop faces a not-so-busy street, so you could enjoy a peaceful morning. I'd come back again. read more

Most of the time I rate my day based on the quality of my coffee. Four shots of amazing funky, natural espresso. while visiting Cambridge I stopped by this coffee, roaster and love the ambiance and a nice staff. on the first day my coffee set me up for an amazing day. The second time around the coffee was different and not as rich or nuanced. Overall, this is a must stop however it does concern me that there's not consistency. read more

Great espresso! Always appreciate going somewhere that roasts their own beans. It was great to see on the menu the beans that they were using for the day for their items. Really enjoyed their espresso (which was their special blend for the day) and a good Americano (a different blend). Only thing better would be to have an espresso flight to try multiple! Great stop close to Harvard with good ambience and would be a nice place to work. Would recommend if I'm the neighborhood! read more

I was at work and my coworker mentioned this place to me. I needed an afternoon pick me up and saw that this coffeeshop was less than a 10-minute walk. Such a cute space and friendly staff! I went with an iced coffee and chose their seasonal flavor which was smokey maple. OMG YUM! It was so good! I didn't get much smoke which I didn't mind, but it tasted almost buttery to me. I really enjoyed it! I am sure they have other tasty treats but will definitely come back to try another seasonal flavor! read more

Nice store front with some seating, the barista was helpful with suggesting a drink that fit my preferences. I like that they use their single origins for their black coffee drinks here instead of a basic house blend NITRO COLD BREW: YEMBEK NATURAL (16 OZ.) - 5.50 I'm not normally a nitro cold brew fan but this was was really tasty and refreshing this Saturday afternoon. It was frothy and sweet without being overly acidic. I can taste the fruity sweetness of the strawberry, golden raisin and grape candy. This was one of the better nitro cold brews I've had and I'd highly recommend it. The only thing I regret is not buying a bag of beans from Broadsheet. Next time! read more

If I'm ever in Boston again, I'm definitely coming back for the vanilla latte. It was a solid 10/10. The espresso was smooth, and the vanilla syrup did not taste like artificial sweeteners like it does at some places. Also, the vanilla syrup is homemade. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any food, since I originally came there to have brunch. I saw some photos on Yelp before I came in, but it was just pastries and whatever they had in the showcase. The inside was modern and clean, and judging by all the people on their laptops, a good place to study. read more

3.5// This place is hit or miss for the coffee. On the good days it's so good, but on the off days it can feel a bit disappointing I can't lie, especially after paying over $7 for an iced latte. I have come a few times and even in an iced latte the shot of espresso feels slightly off. But I've also come when it was super yummy. My favorite was the orange rosemary iced latte seasonal syrup. So good. The vibes are cute and the baristas are nice. Overall solid but I wish it could be more consistent. read more

It's great to see how they've transformed the cafe for takeout only. There are two ways of ordering: order online or in person. They do not have their baked goods list online so I decided to order in person. They've transformed their front door as the ordering door. They have line marks to ensure people waiting in line are 6 ft apart. I ordered a cappuccino and a sumac roll. It seemed that they make some baked goods for the day and sell out pretty quickly! I went around 9am and there was already a lineup. I noticed they also sell coffee in bulk, which I may pick up next time. read more

This was actually my favorite coffeeshop in Boston! It is close to Harvard Square and MIT. They made the best lavender latte (iced) that I've ever had. My friend's nitro cold brew was really amazing too. They look like they can get packed, but I was there at the perfect time on a weekday morning. The vibes were great and the baristas were really nice. I'll definitely be back here when I'm back in Boston! read more

Broadsheet Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Broadsheet is one of the best coffee roasters around. I've been to their cafe many times pre-COVID for both food and drink, but this was my first time during the pandemic. Their website makes it super easy to order and pay ahead of time. I ordered a cortado and an iced latte, along with a pre-made quart of oat chai latte and a bag of coffee beans. Once we got to the cafe, there were already several groups of people either waiting in line to order or waiting to pick up. Broadsheet was always quite popular and still remain so! I am pretty cautious about social distancing and was glad to see taped markers on the sidewalk for both types of waiting. They converted their front door into a coffee window with a barrier between the person at the register and the customer, and the employees were all wearing masks and gloves. We did have to wait for our drinks despite ordering ahead, since they make their single serving drinks once you arrive. But everyone was really friendly, and our cortado and latte were both on point, just as we remembered. I do wish there were a way to avoid waiting on the sidewalk with clusters of people, especially for those with pre-existing conditions. But overall I'm glad to see Broadsheet is doing a splendid job in these strange times. read more

I didn't know coffee could taste so good! Broadsheet is the best coffee place I've been to thusfar. They're famous for roasting their coffee nearby. They're a good 3rd wave coffee shop and a massive step up from Starbucks. That said, I drink my coffee black and appreciate good coffee. I personally think they're slightly better than Blue Bottle, which is often considered the gold standard of 3rd wave coffee franchises. If you like 2nd-wave coffee (lattes and cappuccinos) , they're good, but not great...no place will make a latte that's 2x better than Starbucks because milk ruins the flavor of coffee. However, their coffee beans are definitely 2x better than Starbucks, if not more. They're priced a lot more as well. You get what you pay for. They charge a premium for really good coffee and deliver....if you actually like coffee. If coffee is just a vehicle for caffeine for you and you need a ton of sugar and milk to ensure gulping it down...well...then you don't like coffee. This place is a little better than what you're used to, but you may not notice. But if you drink your coffee black?...MILES ABOVE Starbucks, Dunkin, or any beans you can buy at your local grocery store. This place opened me up to the world of coffee and showed me just how good it could taste. I don't dislike Starbucks, but it feels like McDonald's to me now...fine, but underwhelming...something I'd be happy to see at a rest area or airport, but have never drank at a local one after trying Broadsheet. read more

Solid spot for a coffee. I ordered a latte and my girlfriend ordered a chai latte. The prices are not bad for third wave coffee. My latte was great I could taste that the shot was pulled well. However, my milk was very foamy for a latte. It was foamy as a cappuccino should be. The chai was very tasty! No complaints there. There is ample seating but it was packed when I went and had to sit with a stranger. I also wish that they had simple syrup instead of just sugar packets, but I'm just nitpicking at this point. read more

Fabulous coffee! ..... Friendly, knowledgeable staff! Best coffee shop (AND COFFEE! ) in Massachusetts!

Everyone was nice, but I paid $6 for a red eye and got watery bad tasting coffee instead. I would have asked for my money back, but had to get somewhere. Everyone was saying the coffee was good and I love to check out new places, but wouldn't recommend. The whole point of getting a red eye is to have extra strong coffee. read more

amazing staff, great pastries, great vibes. essential stop in cambridge...love this cafe, can't recommend more!

What a cute coffee shop! Stopped by here to get some relief from the rain. It's a small venue and there's no sitting room (but there is a little bar you can stand next to and chill by), but the shop is super cute and the workers there are all so nice! A lot of the coffee is roasted in house and they sell plenty of beans and other cute merch :-) I got the lavender latte and it was great - I almost chugged it down immediately even though it was a hot drink. It was a welcome relief from the cold weather outside! A lovely place to stop by for a cuppa if you're ever in need :) read more

This is what a 5 star coffee shop looks like! Our entire time here was so enjoyable from when we walked in to when we exited. The staff is very knowledgeable about coffee, the menu options, and their trade. I learned something new when the barista told me that oat milk was actually better for the environment than almond milk. She informed me that the almond plant is invasive but also that almond milk requires a lot of water to produce. (Look it up if you want to learn more) But I was really happy when she informed me that this coffee shop only carried oat milk and cashew milk as alternate milk options.) We ordered: 1.) Egg Boat Khachapuri (large portion) 2.) Latkes with Smoked Salmon (2 potato latkes topped with a poached egg and comes with smoked salmon and a side of yogurt and fresh fruit) 3.) Cortado 4.) Latte with Oat Milk All the food and drinks were 5 stars. There wasn't one thing I would change. I also am an oat milk convert and no longer an avid almond milk fan. I would recommend coming here during opening time or at least on the early side of the morning as this café is very popular and seating is filled up fast! read more

Cute coffee shop! The drinks are solid--my go-to's are iced mochas and matcha lattes. They have tasty seasonal special drinks too! If the weather is nice, there is some outdoor seating. Indoor seating is limited, especially during peak busy hours. I was disappointed to stop by one morning hoping to try their pastries, only to find they were out of stock! Even at 8am! read more

Sunny atmosphere with a handful of tables and great people watching. I had a buttery croissant and a very solid iced latte. This would be a perfect studying/remote working spot... only if there was WiFi. Walked a mile here to work only to leave about ten minutes later to find a different spot to work. Will only be returning on a social outing with a friend. Be warned, students looking to study + remote workers! read more

I passed by Broadsheet on a circuitous uberpool trip and, struck by what appeared to be an inviting bright and airy space, made a mental note to return. Overall, the vibe here is great, and on a weekday morning had the right level of soft buzz for me to still be able to focus on my work. I had an iced Americano and the levant sandwich, which was light and delicious. If you haven't had labneh, its a tangier Middle Eastern cream cheese, which paired well with cucumbers and eggs in Broadsheet's sandwich. I will plan to add Broadsheet to my repertoire of coffee shops in the Cambridge area. read more

Great coffee, staff is rude and unfriendly. Service takes good product and nice customer service to be a 5 star.

TLDR - Taste buds satisfied Might need a second breakfast, buuuuut now I can't afford that. Breakfast menu is small (like 5 menu items) but I like the options. All of which exude millennial snobbery but I dig it. Had the khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread) for $9.50. Came with a great sauce that was a tinge spicier than expected, but delicious nonetheless. Feta-mozzarella blend was good and I'm not a huge feta fan. The coffee I had didn't really fit my palate. I won't try to describe it because Idk coffee well, but it was a little thick and had a very strong taste. Not acidic and no nasty aftertaste but I wasn't a huge fan. Price is also a bit high for a small breakfast. Spent a little over $13 on the bread and the coffee. read more

Stopped in to check out the soft opening and grabbed a couple coffees. The prices are in line with other cafes (aka high for coffee, but typical for Cambridge). We didn't try any of the food this time around, but the pastries and menu both look promising. The interior is light and airy, and the decor your standard contemporary-industrial. Definitely prime for becoming the new neighborhood study spot. Since my experience was limited to their soft opening, I'll have to come back to try more of the menu. For now, five stars for the space and service. read more

Cute and hip coffeeshop close to Harvard. Love the exposed white brick and handwritten menu. Also the various plants! I ordered a lavender latte. The espresso was very good, but the lavender syrup was a little dull--couldn't really taste it, to be honest. Prices were to be expected for a 16oz in a city. The baristas were really nice and conversational, which I appreciated. It seems there is currently no public seating. Cool place overall read more
