Café Rustica

Had a breakfast sandwich on a bagel with everything on it it was so fresh and so good I’ve been here many times and I had to come back

I love this place so much, that when I visit Cambridge, I make my hotel choice based on it being walking distance to Cafe’ Rustica. The 2 guys that run the place are warm, friendly, funny and although I’m there at most once or twice a year, they remember me. Best time to visit is when school starts, but it’s such a warm, homey place, brimming with locals, fresh piping hot coffees and teas, yummy bagels, simple breakfast sandwich’s and pastries. Lots of older Cambridge residents frequent the place as do students and a mix of those visiting town. Lots of academics and students from all over the world. Laid back, simple, often with global or cultural music playing. Can’t say enough good things about this place, if you sit and observe the patrons the plethora of diversity is … ok so obviously I like the place. Just keep in mind they serve the coffee and the eggs extra hot. Which is perfect for me. :)

Lovely little spot! Friendly stuff, amazing food and great atmosphere! Their eggs are fluffy and delicious!

Came here for lunch for the first time when my friend was visiting and it did not disappoint, the sandwiches are fantastic! I appreciated all the toppings/condiments that could be added and the bread was amazing! On top of that, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The cafe itself has a super cozy vibe and we ended up sitting on the back patio, it was a great experience, definitely add it to your list!

Very cute cafe with a laid back feel. There is some seating indoors as well is outside in the back and two tables in the front outside. The staff are very friendly. There is a good menu with lots of options. We liked the bagel sandwiches but acknowledge that the bagels were bouncy than normal and that 2 scrambled eggs dwarf the sausage. I would definitely recommend and return. The wait was not long.
