Simon's Coffee Shop feels like a home away from home. Tucked between Harvard and Porter, this unassuming café has long been a favorite for Cambridge locals. Inside, you’ll find mismatched furniture, warm lighting, and a low-key buzz of conversation. The lattes are smooth and expertly made, with a creamy matcha latte that stands out. Their food menu includes fresh bagels, hearty sandwiches, and buttery pastries. Service is consistently kind, and the baristas always seem genuinely happy to see you. It’s the kind of place where your name—and your order—gets remembered. The atmosphere encourages you to linger, whether you're diving into a novel or catching up with friends. It’s not trying to be trendy, and that’s what makes it special. Simon’s is classic, comfortable, and dependable—a neighborhood café in every sense of the word.
