We headed towards Solid Ground and ventured inward. The staff were welcoming and brought our drinks to our table. It seemed like the place to be as others came in a steady stream. It's small in regards to seating but we managed to get a spot with a good view of the street perfect for people watching. The coffee was tasty and gave us the extra fuel we needed to keep exploring the town. Definitely stop in if you're in the area!

This is such a fun warming place to be all around. Though there's not a ton of seating, I was lucky enough to find a table even on the weekend given that this spot is also great for grab and go. But if you get a chance to sit, it's a lovely place to have a chat with a friend or get some work done. The menu has a wide variety of drinks with some fun rotating flavors, and I'm dying to come back and try their sandwiches (they look and smell divine)! As for their matcha and pastries, I can report that they're not the most impressive I've seen anywhere, but they're certainly high quality and crave-worthy. This in addition to some great prices definitely makes a stop here worth it!!

The coffees are great and I absolutely love the Australian iced latte--sweet so don't say I didn't warn you! As for the food, absolutely loved the sauces that each thing we ordered, however, when it came to the meat (chicken) and potatoes wedges portions, I do think that that it was not enough. Especially when the price is above $15 for these items, I think that it's not unreasonable to have a grilled chicken inside of my sandwich that's only half of the size of the sandwich. I loved the potato wedges so it was very disappointing to have such little quantity. Still, I look forward to coming here soon because everything was genuinely good just a few things that were amiss.

We walked into a minimalist and calm space with enough personality to make it comfortable for a longer stay, the kind of room where the lighting and the seating encourage you to settle in rather than rush out. The dalgona coffee is one of the standout orders and delivered the creamy, slightly bitter contrast that makes the format work when it is done well. We had it with oat milk, which smoothed out the richness without losing the depth of the coffee underneath. The matcha was another high point, aromatic and grassy in a way that reflects quality sourcing, and notably not overly sweet. The hojicha with hojicha foam was on rotation during our visit, layered and smooth in a way that made it an easy recommendation for anyone who leans toward roasted, nutty flavors. Prices across the menu are genuinely affordable for the quality. The loose leaf teas can be rebrewed multiple times, which added real value to the experience as we settled in for a while. Service was warm and unhurried, with staff who clearly know the drink menu well and are happy to talk through the options without any pressure. For a handcrafted drink in a space that feels like it was built for people who actually care about what they are drinking, The Sipping Room earns a spot on the short list. We would come back for the dalgona coffee and a quiet afternoon with a rebrewed pot of tea.

I will say, it felt a little cramped, but the atmosphere is very quiet and good for focusing. As for the drink itself, I was impressed with the matcha powder quality and the fact that it was made to order. However it was also very watery and honestly way overpriced for the size. I can't say I'd come here again as there are several other spots in the city that have better drinks and seating and that are in nicer, more accessible areas, but overall not a bad experience coming here.

We walked into a cozy, bohemian atmosphere filled with eclectic décor, photos, artwork, books, puzzles, chess boards, and an overall sense that people are encouraged to slow down and stay present. Despite the relatively small footprint, the space manages to feel welcoming rather than cramped, with indoor seating that supports conversation and outdoor seating that becomes especially popular during warmer months. Coffee is clearly the centerpiece here. We ordered espresso based drinks, including a flat white and a seasonal Juniper Latte, both of which were prepared with care and a clear emphasis on quality. The café leans into a more thoughtful coffee program, and that attention shows in the cup. Beyond the drinks, the pastry selection is good, particularly the croissants and scones, which paired naturally with the coffee menu. The experience is helped by friendly, engaged staff who contribute to the café's welcoming personality. Conversations with the baristas and small community touches helped create an environment that felt more personal than transactional. The laptop free policy can catch first time visitors by surprise, but for many regulars it is part of what gives Faro its distinctive identity and helps preserve the social atmosphere that sets it apart from more work focused cafés. For a coffee stop in Harvard Square that prioritizes human connection over productivity, Faro Cafe delivers a warm, intentional space worth slowing down for.

Their displays care charming and handwritten, giving the vibe of a mom and pop coffee shop. Which... I think they are! Not a chain as far as I can tell. When I went up to the counter, it took a moment to get service because the clerk was texting, but she put down her phone within a few seconds to take care of our order. Unfortunately, frequent table maintenance doesn't happen often here, so our table required a bit of TLC. And while it's not the staff's fault, the two people eating at the table next to us left quite a mess on the seat and table. However, the staff quickly took care of it when asked. My iced coffee with one pump of chocolate was delicious, but most of the chocolate pooled on the bottom because it wasn't stirred properly when made, meaning I had to do most of the work myself. Overall, I love the vibe of this place, but a few tweaks could make the food and service truly exceptional!
