Vibes
Andrew C.

Brand new café and wine bar with dual personalities. During the day (until 3PM), it operates as a coffee shop offering classic espresso drinks, plus matcha and tea options for non-coffee drinkers. I enjoyed their lavender latte with homemade syrup. In the evening (reopening at 5PM), it transforms into a wine bar with an unpretentious, neighborhood-friendly atmosphere. Currently, it's a peaceful spot perfect for enjoying a drink, getting some work done, or finding refuge from the winter cold. The skylight provides beautiful natural lighting, while high ceilings create an airy, spacious feeling.

Oat latte
Monica C.

Delightful little coffee & wine spot on Mass Ave! We got the oat latte & flat white which were prepared perfectly, with good quality espresso forward taste and balance. Service was very quick and friendly. Interior felt cozy and there was a nice bench outside with side tables to sit outside as well. I would definitely want to come back again to try their pastries / breakfast menu and drinks!

Matcha delight

On north Cambridge side, Tilde is a sweet spot with tasty coffee and matcha offerings, Oatly oatmilk, a small but friendly interior with great art and variety of seating. We stopped in Friday afternoon and while it was tricky to find a seat we made space. I tried an unsweetened matcha with oat milk that was vegetal, fresh, and refreshing - perfect for a rainy day. My friend happily had an ice Americano and we got to admire the Lego tower that sits in the corner. Excited to try snacks next time!

My view from a table

Couldn't be a sweeter nook: community art, vinyl, knit night, live music, and the down to earth excellence in service Cambridge is known for. The pride and care shines in the food and the faces.

tl;dr great coffee shop to get work done and catch up with friends I stopped by Tilde on a Saturday morning to get coffee with a friend after seeing the coffee/wine bar on a local places to try list. The ambiance was that of a classic coffee shop - they nailed the aesthetic. My friend and I ordered a latte, cappuccino, and some baked goods (namely a chocolate croissant and almond croissaint) that Tilde sources from Butternut Bakehouse. All four items were excellent and were ready promptly (the baristas were kind as well). Other patrons of the cafe were largely doing work on their laptops or catching up with friends in small groups. It was relatively quiet when I went at 10am on a Saturday morning, though the cafe was buzzing by the time I left around 11:30am. I look forward to returning and trying out the wine bar as well in the future!

Came for the Third Time residence food and was not disappointed. The breakfast burrito was really tasty. The green beans were unexpectedly flavorful and delicious.

Amazing experience at this perfectly cozy new spot in north Cambridge. Next month will be their 1 year anniversary and I'm hoping it stays the areas best kept secret coffee/wine bar. The staff were all smiles and there vibe was chill. Perfect for studying both don't forget to get their baked goods. All their baked stuff looked fresh and my Cardamom Swirl sweet pastry tasted like it was still warm!

Spacious ceiling

New food is incredible! Great coffee seem to have their pulls down, wine selection is great and rotates often, beer is good

Because we had enjoyed Barcelona Wine Bar in New Haven (Yale), we decided to give the Cambridge…read more(Harvard) restaurant a competition between the Bulldogs and the Crimson. We loved the concept in both places: a wide and varied menu, the chance to learn about some unique wines, and excellent service. The score in this contest was a tie, and we can't wait to try both again for the overtime. We were given a table near the window and despite the fact that the restaurant filled up quickly, it was relatively quiet and felt somewhat private. Now to the review of the Cambridge MA location. Our server, Conrado, was attentive and allowed us to have a leisurely meal, bringing out each course as we had enjoyed the previous selections. We initially chose the "Trust Fall Flight" of 3 half glasses of wines that Conrado chose for us based on our desire to try reds from Chile, Argentina,and Spain essentially cabernet, merlot, and carignan dominant grapes respectively. All three were full bodied and rich, but for our second glass, my partner chose the Chilean Penalolen (Cabernet) and I chose the Spanish Sotabosc (Grenache + Carignan). It was a delightful wine experience, and all wines went well with our choices for tapas. We opened with meat appetizers: Jamon Iberico and Chorizo Picante. Then we had the Roasted Carrots and Beef Empanadas. Third offering was the Pork Belly and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. The base sauces for the second and third courses were delicious, and we used our complimentary bread to soak up every drop. We ordered 2 desserts: the Basque Burnt Cheesecake and the Chocolate Cake with Coffee Creme Anglaise and Almond Crumble. Both were delicious. We dined from 5:00 PM until we left at 6:45 for a play at the nearby American Repertory Theatre (a 10-minute walk for the fleet of foot). The cost including a generous tip was $85/person, and it was worth every penny, especially since my partner declared that it was her turn to treat.

My partner and I couldn't decide what to get from their a la carte menu so we ended up going for the four-course tasting menu instead ($85/pp), picking the omnivore and pescatarian options to see if we could try more items. We were actually a little underwhelmed at first, but the tasting menu got better and better after each course. The tasting menu started with some of their in-house pickles and ferments. We had some onion, green beans, and cucumbers, which I wished were crunchier. Each pickle had a good amount of acidity but I wouldn't have minded if the flavors were punchier. The first course of the tasting menu was a salad. Visually it just looked like a pile of lettuce, but they added a savory garlicky sauce and a sprinkle of asparagus salt that allowed the dish to feel refreshing and hearty at the same time. The radishes were crunchy, peppery, and delicious, and we were very pleased to find that many of the later courses also included raw radish. We ended up getting different dishes for the second course, one of which involved deep-fried arancini-like balls of risotto with a creamy sauce, and the other had a cold plant-based loaf served with a vibrant garlic sauce. Both dishes featured some fresh greens that balanced the carby heaviness. By the time we got to the third course, we realized that Forage makes their vegetables shine. The omnivore course came with a steak while the pescatarian course had a pan-fried fish, both of which were also available to be ordered a la carte. While we thought that the steak and fish were seasoned and prepared well, the vegetables stood out to us even more. They weren't prepared in any crazily innovative way but the chefs made the natural flavors of the vegetables shine in a way that complemented the rest of the dish very well. After the third course, we added one optional cheese course ($22/pp) that came with even more radishes. The hazelnut shortbread was super buttery and everything went well together. I was already feeling pretty full and was glad that we only got one cheese course instead of two. Finally, the fourth course had a maple semifreddo with seaweed crisps and a caramel nut sauce. This was amazing and something that I'll think about for a long time! I could really taste the maple flavor in the semifreddo, and the cold creaminess went so well with the salty, crispy seaweed and nutty, buttery caramel. The balance of textures and flavors in the dessert was excellent. Along with the tasting menu, we added one wine pairing ($60/pp). We liked some of the wines so much that we asked for more information about them and learned that some of the wines are imported in small batches. After experiencing how well vegetables are prepared here, I'd love to visit during different seasons to sample their vegetarian menu items.

The second time, I managed to land the location but they were closed. But the third time? It was the one! Now here's the twist: even though Gâté bakes most of its pastries in-house, they no longer make their Instagram-famous chocolate mousse there. Instead, it's made here at Zuzu's. So naturally... here we are. I couldn't leave my daughter out of this beauty- so after dinner nearby, we intentionally skipped dessert there and rushed here just before closing. Thank God we did. Zuzu's was actually closed to the public for a private event, but luckily they were still doing take out. A win is a win. Two chocolate mousses to go! And service was great even placing the order by phone. The chocolate mousse is just heavenly. Deeply rich with an intense chocolate flavor that was luxurious and comforting at the same time. Is it too forward to rate just on their chocolate mousse alone? Maybe? But so what- it's just great!

This was one of the best meals I have…read moreever had, and I work in events and have eaten at some of the best restaurants in countless cities around the world. I love how their menu is set up. I don't eat a lot and am always torn between multiple items. They offer the ability to have small plates of every item so I can try everything I want. I went with two small plates - the duck and the artichokes. If I could have kicked my plate I would have. I then had the mango coconut crème brûlée for desert - amazing! We were a table of 4 and everyone loved everything we ordered. Huge call out on their mocktail items - they can make many of their cocktails as mocktails. I had the nor'easter and now want the recipe so I can make it at home. Our server, Elle, could not have been more perfect. She was incredibly attentive but not overly so. We told her of two dietary allergies and she clicked them faster than we did. We said we wanted to taste each others and when one of us stated they wanted to taste them all she noted she could try one because it had shellfish,l before we did. She even checked them all for my tomato allergy, not just the items I ordered. Wish every restaurant would set up their menu the same way Will be back and will send everyone I know.
