#Barismo
I think this is more like a self service kinda cafe. The coffee is really nice, I order the pour over and it was very good. The AC is nice with the heat outside. Very quiet and peaceful place.
Barismo is the west village cafe of Cambridge (aka the 1369 of mid Cambridge I guess).
It used to be a fancy coffee cafe in a prior life (formerly known as Dwell time, rip.) Now it’s less precious, filled with patina and character and writers/creatives and parents dropping off their kids next door and across the street. What it lost through shedding its bougie identity, the neighborhood gained with a non-fussy gathering spot with decent food and coffee.
Come for the open window summer, stay for the nitro cold brew 😉
Good location, self service, rather slow to get your order. Like others said totally overpriced. I also don’t like that checkout forces you to add a tip, when in reality there is no service…
Atmosphere is Ok though it could easily be a lot better.
And there is no WiFi…for these prices they could at least provide internet…
The to-go system at Barismo could use some work. I have gotten both an iced chai and an iced coffee to go – both were too watery and they do not have iced drink to-go cups. My hot cup warped from the condensation so I would definitely recommend eating in. There is only one employee during morning hours so the service is not the quickest during that time. The atmosphere is very nice when it is popular but unfortunately they are not very popular in the mornings and weekdays. Food is pretty good but you should get it and eat in so that it does not go cold. Overall a cute place but will not be coming here for a morning coffee – better for a Saturday brunch.
Pleasant as always, the barismo 364 is in my opinion one of the best coffee shops in Cambridge. They have some breakfast food options like burritos and also some salads. Downside is that they don’t have WiFi though. Coffee has always been good and good for small groups or drinking coffee alone.
