Welcoming and friendly with a community atmosphere. Delicious bagels - crisp and chewy in just the right ways. The scallion cream cheese is delicious - I assume they make it themselves. I love that they have smoothies too, which are huge and very filling. Highly recommend.

Super cute spot with amazing loose leaf tea! They provide a wonderful vessel you can refill with hot water and the second brew was just as good as the first. Wonderful place to spend some time enjoying books and tea!

Impresssive cafe. They have kilogram and broken cup teas, local bagels and bread (phenomenal), lots of smoothies and fresh veggie, meat, and egg toppings, and even Pan mushroom jerky (which I love). Also, there is the glory of it all being housed in a bookstore, with artsy cards and games and chocolates and books!!!!

This cafe is connected to a bookstore and that's enough for me to give it 5 stars 🌟 there's a few tables and areas for seating if you want to get some work done as well. For drinks, they offer coffees, teas smoothies, etc. You can also grab a quick bite here! I had a bagel sandwich and a matcha latte and both were great. Definitely will be coming here again in the future.

Great cafe with books on one side and coffee shop on the other. It's not a hug place. Maybe, 5 or 6 tables with seating of 4-6 people but it's very nearly arranged and good collection of coffee and food. If you are looking for meet and chat, this would be a great place.

I love their chai latte (sweet but not too syrupy sweet), and their bagels are good too! AIUI they have the same ownership as Forge Bakery in Somerville and Diesel Cafe in Davis Square - this one is most convenient for me so it's my go-to. It's a little small so it can be tough to get a table sometimes, but the vibe (being inside Porter Square Books!) is nice.

Love a good cafe tucked inside a local bookstore like this. But this one actually takes the cafe part seriously. I’ve been to a few literary coffee spots in the city (including Cafe Zing down the street), and this place has the best food and drink selection. Plus, the layout works better here. The café area is more clearly separated from the bookstore space, which made it feel noticeably calmer and more relaxed than most spots in the city. Like most Cambridge spots, they use Iggy’s bread for their pastries and focaccia, so the baseline quality was guaranteed. Most sandwiches come with either pesto or chili crisp mayo, and honestly, both work really well with on the focaccia. I personally preferred the chili crisp mayo (Epilogue). Even with the strong umami from the salami and cheddar, the mayo still added an extra layer of richness without overpowering anything. Drink-wise, they use good-quality local coffee brews and teas, and everything I’ve tried so far has been good. Even without the bookstore charm, this would be a top-tier cafe. And a major bonus is that on weekdays, they offer 45-minute parking validation for the Lesley lot out back.
