Asaro Bakery and Cafe
1629 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Asaro is a beloved Jewish bakery café near Harvard Square that's earned a devoted following for its exceptional house-made pastries and carefully crafted sandwiches—think life-changing chocolate chip cookies, stunning almond croissants, and a pulled chicken sandwich that keeps people coming back. The beautiful, naturally bustling space draws a steady crowd who come as much for the warm atmosphere and generous seating as for the excellent coffee and matcha, making it feel like a genuine neighborhood gathering spot rather than just a caffeine pit stop. Their Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences shine through both the baked goods and the fresh, thoughtfully prepared food, setting them apart from typical café fare.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Food is amazing! Fresh and so delicious. The schnitzel sandwich was really good and honestly everything we tried was great. We had to wait for a table 5-10 minutes but aside of that we had great time - highly recommend
