Café Gato Rojo
8 Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA
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.”

Best spot on campus, they always great you with a smile.
baristas are so friendly ! music is always popping. such a lovely space to do work or chat w friends. pastries are also a must, so delish !
Small café in the bottom of Lehman Hall. The prices are reasonable, but I noticed that the milk in the chai latte I ordered was not foamy (even though a milk frother was present). They seem to serve a small array of pastries but not not Angy substancial food. The hot chocolate may be worth trying because they have Taza chocolate available. Bottom line is that this place is fine if you just need to get a little pick me up, but don't expect café quality.
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.
