Simon's Coffee Shop
1736 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Simon's is a cozy Cambridge spot that excels at quick coffee runs and leisurely breakfast sessions alike, with a particular gift for matcha drinks and blueberry scones that keep regulars coming back. The tiny, charming space has genuine college-town character and shines brightest when you catch it during off-peak hours to actually savor your coffee rather than rush out the door. Fair warning though: the coffee and pastries are solid, but service can be inconsistent, prices run high, and timing your visit matters—swing by early and you might have a great experience, arrive near closing and you'll wish you hadn't.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Great experience there. Friendly staff, great deluxe breakfast sandwich, tasty coffee ☕️ We came here everyday for breakfast while visiting Cambridge !

Local cafe with a charming small college town shop vibes. Over the past few months, I've stopped by a few times to grab a quick breakfast sandwich and a latte. The shop occupies a fairly small space with about ten tables inside and a couple more on the sidewalk. It's usually…
