Imagine
358 Huron Ave, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Imagine transports you somewhere far from Cambridge with its warmly eclectic, almost European café atmosphere and thoughtful ritual around espresso and filter coffee. The team genuinely cares about craft—their creative signature drinks and matcha are standouts—and they've cultivated a space that feels lived-in and authentic rather than polished, making it perfect for lingering or working. It's the kind of place where you sense the owners have created something intentional and a little bit magical.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Feels like it was magically transported from Istanbul, Ojai, or somewhere worlds away from Cambridge. (There's sage smudging in the doorway.) Creative coffee and coffee adjacent drinks, realllly delicious pastries, interesting plants, cool layout, ultra friendly staff. So…
