Gypsy Place Coffee and Juice Bar

I love this café and that used to be a cafés to go to all the time to do my reading and writing and work and meeting with friends and literally any other reason. The staff is so wonderful and helpful and kind and after getting to know them over time it really feels like a family. The food is amazing and made with such love and care and smoothies are the bomb.

A small local cafe with relaxed atmosphere and rustic interior.
I’ve been coming to Gypsy coffee for their açaí bowls and drinks. Their seating area somewhat reminds me of common areas in college dorms, so I enjoyed taking my friends here to hang out. I also like that they don’t put a lot of sugar into their drinks or the bowls which gives them a more refreshing aftertaste. However, the fruit toppings on the bowls are optional, and the bowls can become quite expensive. So far, my favorite has been the opal bowl, but make sure to add some fruits as their default seed and goji berry toppings can give a slightly dry texture.

I spent a weekday morning on a nice day sitting outside here, and it was wonderful. The employees were nice and everything felt prompt. Inside the cafe had a wide range of sitting experiences from stools at a window bar, to normal cafe table seating, to comfy-looking couches. The menu feels deep but you are still going to get something with quality and love.

I got an avocado toast and a large iced latte. The avocado was in a spread form with chopped add-ins which is probably the best way to do this dish for the number of ingredients. The bread size is nice and it was two slices which justifies the price point in my eyes. I really enjoyed the latte, and it was served in a handled mason jar. It was really enjoyable to consume all of this while watching the plethora of bike commuters make it seem like there is a bike traffic issue but is actually moving smoothly.

I loved the aesthetic of this place as soon as I walked in; it’s a cute corner entrance with unique decor, comfy furniture and welcoming, friendly people behind the counter. I got the Coffee bowl feeling like I needed the extra pick me up that morning. It was tasty and caffeinating, and more than enough to eat at once! I loved the coconut and chocolate chips but would have appreciated some fruit on top too. I expected the texture to be slightly gritty with the espresso grinds but be warned if that isn’t something you like. I’m definitely coming back to try the drinks and some other bowls!

Highly recommend the omelette if you want something more savory (ask for the kayo on the side, as the flavor overwhelms the egg a bit.) Pairs nicely with a toasted bagel and cream cheese. Acai bowls are great too!

SUMMARY:
My wife and I were in Cambridge on 11/12 and wanted to ensure we started our day with a healthy and fulfilling meal. We came across this Juice bar via a google search and I have to say, neither of us were disappointed. The food, juices & smoothies were refreshing and delicious. In addition to taste, they were all prepared same day! We would both highly recommend this Juice Bar to anyone looking to start their day with gratifying and nutritious foods.

ATMOSPHERE:
The Gypsy Place is conveniently located on the corner of Hampshire St. and Windsor St. They have a small section of outdoor seating and a little dog bowl for any passing thirsty K9s. Inside was decorated in such a way that it was not only obvious that it was a cafe but it also had a chill, zen, hipster flair as well. The live plants, boho furniture and contemporary wall art, all made the environment very calming (which is a win for a fast paced coffee shop). My wife and I are spiritual people so we had a major bias of appreciation for the Hamsa logo they created.

FOOD:
My wife ordered the Acai Bowl and a Jade Juice while I ordered the Omelette along with the Topaz Smoothie. The bowl and juice came out fairly quick while my omelette and smoothie took a bit longer which wasn't surprising given the made-to-order, fresh style. The drinks were sincerely revitalizing and the food was tasty!

STAFF:
The staff were efficient in the order intake and output. Overall they did they're jobs as expected. If there was any room for improvement, in my opinion, it would be to have a more welcoming presence whether it's with a genuine smile when customers approach the counter or a "have a great day" after they pick up their food. These small gestures go a long way in tying together an already great establishment.

All time favorite. Perfect everyday spot. Coffee, juices, smoothies, snacks. LOVED the snacks (peanut sticks and rose bomb). Smoothies really good too. I live the atmosphere, nice seating area, couches, cutes tables.

This place is so cute!! Great decor and comfy couches to relax on. I got the quartz smoothie and it was delicious. Was not super sweet which I appreciated at lot. I will be stopping by again for the rest of the menu

Great vibes inside and I loved the pearl smoothie!! I felt like I time traveled to the end of my smoothie, and I was so sad when I finished. The omelette was very tasty too and made in a waffle iron! so fun!

Great breakfast place with excellent vegetarian options. We tried fresh juices, their desserts, avocado toasts. Cozy place to chill, work or meet with friends.
