The best coffee in Cambridge for sure. The coffee is amazing with a great rich flavor that is really hard to find around. I don't usually eat there, only a pastry and a coffee, but every single one of the pastries is delicious. The rest of the food looks really good, and most people are sitting there for a quick breakfast (the prices are definitely fair). It is a great spot for studying or working with your laptop. The music is really good and it feels like an open space for students and people working from home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
In case anyone's confused, yes this is lamplighter. In the mornings they serve coffee and food. I love the avocado toast and the turkey BLT. Get the lavender iced latte!
$4 Tacos that are artfully created, reasonably substantive, and paired with a great cold brew for $3.50 makes for a nice brunch that rivals Lone Star over on Cambridge Street... but which can be had without sit down service. A great pairing for Lamplighter. Thanks for the free, accessible water too.
April 11, 2022 I asked about their double mocha, which turns out they make with mocha syrup and chocolate milk. Passed on that as sounding too sweet, and asked for their standard 10 oz cappuccino reduced to 8 oz. They suggested a flat white which I was delighted to try. It was perfect, see the photo with this review. Masking is mixed and not required.
Really enjoyed stopping by on a recent trip to MA. The cold brew flight was great, but my favorite was the raspberry cold brew. Also had a biscuit and it was great.
Excellent cafe by day with good coffee and food. I had an egg sandwich that was delicious. By night it's also a most excellent brewery. Only thing was when I visited almost every seat was taken with most of them being people working from their laptops, but I guess I can't blame them.
Excellent coffee and excellent everything else: had an egg and cheese english muffin which was 🤌🏻, so I had to go back to the counter to try more stuff which I took with me: cinnamon roll (puff pastry, not bun-style if you are interested) and the passion fruit brioche which is absolutely fantastic. Kudos to this place.
Pleasantly surprised by how good the coffee was. Got the mocha with skim milk and it was delicious. Employees were all very kind & welcoming, and they had good music playing. Will definitely be coming back! The pastries we tried were great, too.

Try the double mocha! Ice latte and regular coffee is great too. Can’t go wrong with an egg sandwich either.

Excellent café in Cambridge. Yummy burritos and kouign-amann, and of course, excellent coffee.
The space is shared with the Lamplighter brewery, but the cashiers are separate.
