    My order: cortado The Review: The positive first--Café Saint Germain is pretty cute inside and is conveniently located near Inman Square. The person who made my drink was really nice. The rest of the review--at over $6 for a cortado, plus tip, I was almost at $7 for one of the simplest espresso drinks. Absolute insanity, considering their specialty is not so much coffee, but rather food and pastries. They also didn't have any GF options in their pastry case. If I'm dying for a coffee, I'd stop here, but otherwise would rather visit one of the several other specialty roasters in the area!

    This cozy French style spot was perfect for a girls dinner! Their unlimited French tapas deal was worth it at $42/pp. We tried sooo many tapas and ordered seconds of our faves. The mushroom croquettes were delicious!! They tasted like a vegetarian French version of mozzarella sticks. Also loved the salmon ceviche and poutine fries. Spent over 2 hours here yapping, drinking, & eating, was a lovely night!

    I was up here visiting in Cambridge and came across this cafe! It feels like a French cafe in the style and ambience! The service was very quick and they have a fresh selection of baked goods and hot foods. We ordered a ham and cheese baguette and I got a mocha latte. It was so good!!

    Casual French dining- bistro/cafe. Good selection of pastries - the almond croissant was decent, as was the cappucino, but nothing too earth-shattering. I got the Salad Nicoise - was pleasantly surprised that it came with sushi-grade seared tuna. The dressing was just okay though, I wanted to like it more. We sat outside on the sidewalk, service was a little spotty (server brought our food out but forgot utensils so after waiting a few minutes I ended up going to the counter to ask for them). But this is a really cute cafe, and I'd love to come back and try their other offerings.

    I really enjoyed the food and vibes there! We went there for the unlimited french tapas and we got to try out most of the tapas (mostly delicious! really recommend the mushroom croquettes!) We ordered a bottle of wine and really enjoyed the food while chatting for about 2 hours! The service was good too. She made sure we needed everything :))

    I visited Cafe St. Germaine in Somerville on Beacon Street and discovered it to be a wonderful addition to my neighborhood. They offer $1.00 Oysters from 4-6 p.m., and I hope this deal lasts a long time because they were very fresh. For my meal, I tried the delicious SOUPE A L'ONION GRATINÉE priced at $14, followed by the BŒUF BOURGUIGNON priced at $36, which consisted of Red Wine Braised Boneless Beef Short Ribs, Mashed Potatoes, Carrots & Pearl Onions. While the dish was nicely presented and tasty, I would recommend making the short ribs more tender and flavorful with extra sauce. On Mondays and Tuesdays, they offer all you can eat Tapas with a wide selection for $38.00. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Lastly, I would suggest adding bar seats with backs for added comfort.

    The PRB Boulangerie remodeled and has opened as a lovely French bistro / cafe. The interior is attractive, with a bistro feel. And the menu features a lot of classic French dishes. We had the saumon fumee appetizer, and coq au vin and black truffle rigatoni as entrees. Everything tasted great--the chicken was flavorful, the rigatoni sauce was rich and had nice umami, without being too much. And we finished out the meal with their crème brulee. The service was attentive and friendly, with the meal served at a gentle pace that felt just right. (Beautiful plating as well!)

    Super cute decor and ambiance! The espresso martinis are good and they have unique flavors - chai, salted caramel, etc. They were able to make these decaf. I was super excited to try the truffle pasta but the online menu hadn't been updated so I went with the pesto pasta (only vegetarian option). The burratini in it was a nice touch to elevate the dish. The restaurant is still working out its kinks with service. I'd come back for the espresso martini deal, but not sure about sit down dinner again.

    The menu they had listed for Dine Out Boston was NOT the menu they were actually offering. Very disappointing.

    Dinner was nothing special, and we will not be returning. We do better at home, especially making classic French onion soup.

Right near Harvard cafe this is a very spacious cafe with lots of space to sit / work. They also have free wifi. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed! From students to uncles having business meetings (iykyk). I really was expecting for them to have some type of chai (Yemeni or some sort). But the only chai they had was Egyptian black tea or chai latte. I settled for a chai latte with coconut milk which came to around $6. This price is on par with the cafes in the area. The chai was very sweet and had a strong spice taste which tasted like it was made from a syrup. Not the best cup of tea. Their menu has a lot of items.

It felt a bit perfunctory. Almond Croissant: I didn't expect it to have a sugary filling inside! A light cinnamon flavor, not too dry, not bad. Chocolate Croissant: A simple and straightforward croissant with a chocolate stick inside. Using dark chocolate prevented it from being too sweet, which is a plus. Plain Croissant: Surprisingly, it was still delicious even after being refrigerated for two days. The bread was very soft and had a subtle peppery aroma.

If you're feeling experimental, their menu has a ton of other tasty options. Their Pesto Turkey is also a delicious choice. Cannot recommend them enough.

Texturewise, an airier, less-dense bagel, closer to Bagelsaurus consistency than Rosenfeld's or Rebelle consistency. -- Coffee: Very good. Was hoping to buy more bagels to take home for further exploration, but on weekends they have a limit of 1. Even though it doesn't make my greater Boston top 5, Black Sheep has its charm and is destined for a return visit. To be continued and I'm hoping to bump up the score.

The restaurant had a really great ambiance, and I enjoyed being able to watch the chefs prepare the food. We ordered the ginger cabbage salad, the coconut eggplant, and the duck noodles. I would have loved to have tried their sushi grade salmon, but they were unfortunately sold out for the night. So I would recommend arriving earlier if you would like to try it. My favorite dish was the duck noodles. I liked the freshness of the basil in the pesto, and the tenderness and juiciness of the duck. The coconut eggplant was a close second favorite. The coconut flavor was delicious, and I liked the nuts on top for crunch. I also found the ginger cabbage salad to be yummy, but not as much as a standout as the other two dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot for dinner. I liked how fresh everything was, and how the dishes felt very light and healthy. It's definitely a bit on the pricier side, but I found it to be very worth it. I definitely come back and try their lattes and other dishes.
