    Flat White
    Justin G.

    Low-key spot with in-house roasted coffee beans. The coffee was so great we had to buy a bag of the Murakoze Medium Roast to brew at home! Very reasonably priced drinks, quick service and friendly staff. Give this place a try!

    Vanilla Latte

    My friend and I came to Yego on a Saturday morning and were able to find seating. I decided to get a vanilla latte. The latte art was really cute. I love the details and care that went through making the coffee. The latte is not overly sweet. They have syrup by the door where you can adjust the sweetness on your own. I did not find the coffee acidic, and it was smooth to drink. The price was also quite reasonable. Overall, this place was not bad. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and will come back if I am in the area.

    Coffee is amazing. But Safe to say they must not have been in France. The crossant was not good. I asked to be toasted but the put it in the microwave. It tastes like NYC coffe cart crossant. Mass produced n not fresh. Service is super friendly. Place just opened a few months ago so maybe they'll get it right.

    Both the drip coffee and espresso drinks here are great. The service is friendly and the owners are super kind. You'd be hard pressed to find better prices anywhere in the area.

    Latte with oat milk

    Spotless, warm and welcoming coffee shop with a modern aesthetic. Lovely barista, kind service, excellent coffee and latte art. What more can we ask for? Calm and peaceful vibe where you can do some work, or just watch the work go by for a bit.

    The latter was nutty and smooth. They roast their bean freshly and priced very reasonable to make good coffee at home.

    Espresso was good, but a bit on the sour side for me. Pastry offerings unremarkable. But a nice place overall. Wonderful service.

    THEY DON'T ALLOW LAPTOPS…read more I didn't actually get any coffee here... but putting this review out so you don't make the same mistake I did! I was thoroughly disappointed when I learned this, because it's the cutest shop with the best vibes. I'll try sometime when I don't have to lock in, I guess.

    Faro Cafe is a small cafe operating as both a coffee shop and a neighborhood gathering space tucked…read moreaway in Harvard Square. 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.

    I have been meaning to go here since this place opened. Always a fan of supporting Muslim owned…read morebusinesses. 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.

    This is an Egyptian coffee shop; I came to buy some bread…read more Sticky Bun: The caramel and pecans ensured it won't be bad, but the syrup coating and the crispness of the crust were uneven. 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.

    Maybe I was just too hungry, but this place was so delicious…read more Lox Classic: The smoked salmon was delicate and smooth, the cream cheese was creamy and fragrant, and the high-calorie intake made me feel alive after the first bite, but it got a bit greasy towards the end. I chose the Everything Bagel, which had a thin, crispy crust on the outside, but the inside was full of soft, airy textures, and the spiciness of the black pepper was particularly prominent. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's the best bagel I've ever had. The Favorite: Boiled egg + tomato + avocado, fresh, refreshing, and full of oily aroma, delicate, fluffy, and with a touch of crispness, it's hard not to be the Favorite! I chose the Rosemary Sea Salt Bagel, which, as always, was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with both seasonings having very prominent aromas, becoming more fragrant with each chew. Iced Latte: The milky aroma was incredibly rich!!! I was amazed by the first sip, I loved it. The interior is old and dark, and it gets very hot in the summer, so it's much better to sit outdoors.

    If I'd known the bagels were this unremarkable, I would've just gone to Dunkin Donuts 2 hours…read moreearlier. Rude staff, too. I asked for my bagel untoasted, and when she realized the mistake, gave me a dirty look, and what I thought might be spiteful fat-free cream cheese... until I realized that's not an option.. so, the cream cheese is bland, the bagels were bland, and the woman preparing the bagel is kind of a jerk..
