I personally had a great experience here, especially as someone who can’t eat gluten - here’s what you should know. I personally think everything is very consistent, but the sweet treats are where they really shine. Bacon and eggs both tasted good and high quality, but very obviously not the most fresh. The guava pao de queijo really surprised me, its gluten free and filled with a smooth, sweet guava jam on the inside. The taste teleported me back to the same satisfying taste of some guava cookies I ate in Costa Rica. The WAFFLES. They’re mochi waffles and they’re gluten free, I couldn’t get enough of them. The matcha was nice and soothing, a perfect way to top off the meal.

A must visit if you're in the area! I've been a few times, but this was my first time dining in. The staff is super friendly, the space is clean and atmosphere is very cozy. I had the crack chicken sandwich on pao de queijo, and it was absolutely delicious. The regular pao de queijo in general is delicious, and I'm excited to go back to try the guava and dulce de leite types as well. I always get the matcha here as well, and highly recommend to any other matcha enthusiasts. It gets a bit busy on weekends, but that is totally understandable for how good it is. Cannot recommend this place enough!

This place is super yummy! There was a wide variety of drinks to choose from. I got the biscuit sandwich, and it was delicious. The bread was a bit dry, but overall it was a very solid sandwich. I also ordered an iced strawberry matcha, which I feel like a lot of places don’t get right, but this place did. For the pastry, I decided to get a doughnut to top it all off. It was filled with caramelized condensed milk, which made it a bit too sweet for me, but it was still super yummy

The traditional pao de queijo w garlic butter was AMAZING. This is a must try! The bread is so fluffy on the inside with the right amount of chewiness. It's savory and cheesy, and goes so well with the garlic butter (although it's still good on its own). The gnocchi tomato basil soup 🍅🌿 was so delicious and pairs so well with the grilled cheese 🧀. The mochi waffle was very good as well, being crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside because of the mochi.

Great spot for a quick breakfast or lunch! I had the smoked salmon plate with poached eggs — super tasty, and the eggs were perfectly gooey. I also tried the guava matcha, which was pretty good, but next time I’d go for the original (especially if you like a strong matcha flavor). The place has a nice vibe, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

If you love pão de queijo, make it a point to visit this spot in Cambridge. It’s a spacious cafe with plenty of space to sit and enjoy a long meal. Or you can grab coffee and pão de queijo to go. Assuming that the pão de queijo would be small, we ordered two traditional and four with guava to feed myself and my nine-year-old daughter. Little did we know that they are huge with so much guava that it spills out with most bites. We left very full and very satisfied. They are chewy and delicious! And the guava inside is mouth watering.

Very nice spot! Had a lot of gluten free options for my celiac sister! The mochi berry waffles and the catch sandwich were amazing! Me and my sister also got their Mother Earth and Peach Matcha, both were delicious!
