Crema's Take

“This cozy Harvard Square spot wins hearts with genuinely warm baristas and an unbeatable pastry program sourced from the legendary Danish Pastry House at a steal. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between focused work café and social gathering spot, with reasonable prices thanks to university subsidies and outdoor seating that feels like a secret escape in the middle of campus. If you're looking for traditional drinks made with real care in a space where people actually want to linger, this is your place.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Stopped in for a coffee before having a look around harvard and found it was delicious - nice outdoor sitting spots too. Walk in through the gate opening on harvard square and you will find the cafe on your left

Small university coffeehouse with cheap prices (yay subsidies!) and--here is the super-secret best part--pastries from the Danish Pastry House, at cheaper-than-retail prices.
