Great experience there. Friendly staff, great deluxe breakfast sandwich, tasty coffee ☕️ We came here everyday for breakfast while visiting Cambridge !

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jea Kim · Apr 2024

Local cafe with a charming small college town shop vibes. Over the past few months, I've stopped by a few times to grab a quick breakfast sandwich and a latte. The shop occupies a fairly small space with about ten tables inside and a couple more on the sidewalk. It's usually quite busy, but since they don't offer free WiFi, not many people linger to study or work, so getting a table is fairly easy. The breakfast sandwiches I tried here were quite good. While they don't offer croissants as a bread option, both the sourdough and bagel choices were solid. The regular breakfast sandwiches were almost mini slider-sized, and although the deluxe option was slightly larger, it still felt small for the price. This, I suppose, could be attributed to the "Harvard Premium”. Nevertheless, for a laid

Delicious coffee and food. I usually order an iced matcha, which is always delicious, but the coffee is also always really good. The blueberry scones are to die for! But the best thing about this place has to be the service. The team at Simon's is welcoming and friendly, and always go above and beyond for their customers, no matter if there's one person in there or a line out the door. Will definitely be going back, and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice breakfast in Cambridge.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nathan T · Nov 2025

The food is passable but extremely overpriced. The coffee is solid, but that's the only positive I can say. The manager is always hovering, and is incredibly rude if you ever interact with him. The employee turnover is very high, so my guess is he also does not treat his employees well either. In this day and age, when possible, I try not to support businesses whose leadership is overtly mean and disrespectful.

Disappointing, not what it used to be Can’t have a good coffee in a proper cup as they close in half an hour !!!!! If you enter in a coffee shop and you want to enjoy a good cup of coffee during normal working hours, you should be able to do it Not by employees who do not want to be there or work or close while it is still during opening hours
