*Hidden gem alert*
Was nearby getting car serviced (Aris auto; recommend) and needed a quiet place to pump out a bit of the ole 9-5.
Casually strolled into pretty much the most quaint and lovely little neighborhood cafe I’ve seen in Cambridge thus far — falling in Love is that easy, folks.
Regulars stationing themselves in their usual spots inside, chitchatting away with newspapers in hand, waiting for their coffee and/or food. Relaxing acoustic guitar bgm playing in the background; exactly what I was looking for.
Ordered a dbl espresso and an egg sandwich (2 eggs w/ additions of sausage, onions, red peppers and cheddar cheese) from the gentleman at the counter and sat down at an open spot. Coffee & food came lightning fast and hot. Strong, good espresso paired with a delicious everything bagel filled w/ fresh pipping hot ingredients; what’s not to love?
Total came out to be <$10 which is a complete steal considering the amt of food and the quality. The gentlemen running the establishment professional and courteous. Can not ask for a better experience — highly recommend.
Cafe rústica just bagged themselves another regular.

I wish I had discovered this place sooner. This is a very cozy place with great sandwiches, croissants, and grilled muffins. The coffee is unbeatable and probably the best in the area. (P.S. everything is reasonably priced as well)
Love the backyard seating and the warmth with which they greet and serve customers.

I could not have get through my grad school years without their coffee and their kind words. This store is an absolute hidden gem, I wish more people know about this store. Food is great, owners are very friendly and very kind. They sometimes even gave me free coffee when I was feeling down!

Been coming here for years. The owners are super people and genuinely friendly and you can tell the place is filled with regulars - a great sign. I always get the Rustica special (with prosciutto and peppers!). This is exactly the kind of neighborhood cafe that you live in a city for.

What a wonderful place, the owners are lovely. Don’t miss the Gazpacho, better than Spain! Sandwiches are delicious. I come here every time I am in town.

Happened across this place and I am blown away by how delicious the food is! Beautiful and quiet seating behind the building with trees all around you. The staff was also so friendly!
