Breakfast/Brunch
Great brunch spot. I'd recommend making a reservation because there is usually a line out the door.
CAFÉ LUNA - Updated October 2025 - 2255 Photos & 1854 Reviews
They have good breakfast sandwiches! It's also close to the harbor so when the weather is nice you can walk in a few minutes to a bench by the water!

Bagels are amazing, they have weekly specials too!
Popup Bagels
Lunch/Dinner
The food is very good and comes at a great portion size and affordable price. The atmosphere and decor throughout the building is also stunning, even the design of the bathrooms.
Pressed Cafe
I genuinely think this place has the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. The salciccia pizza is also amazing
The Salty Pig
$25 all you can eat sushi on Wednesday nights (any time), such a great deal!
Empire
Delicious classic bbq food. They also have a large menu solely of whiskey.
The Smoke Shop BBQ
Highly recommend the crispy pork belly gaprow over rice and the crispy chicken basil! They only take reservations between 4-5:15pm, but you can join the waitlist in advance online.
Sugar & Spice Thai Restaurant - Cambridge
If you manage to catch them when the line isn't very long (they don't take reservations), you can grab some delicious pizza! The atmosphere and decorations inside are nice as well.
Regina Pizzeria
The wood fired pizza is so good, and the bavarian pretzel appetizer was really good and a lot bigger than what I was expecting. My favorite pizzas are the carnivore and sherry-maple bacon!

The chicken and sauces in the chicken over rice bowls are very good, and this place is open later than most places in Boston!
Boston - Shahs Halal Food
The shawarma is really good and filling! They also have a nice little outdoor seating area.
Sufra Mediterranean Food
Grilled cheese and burgers at a good price point! They also have an arcade that opens in the evening, with different events on different nights like karaoke, dj, etc. The arcade isn't massive but it's still fun, would recommend checking out at least ...
Roxy's Grilled Cheese & Burgers - Central Square, Cambridge
Dessert
They have soooo many different delicious pastries, and they're open 24/7!
Bova's Bakery
My favorite is the Phuket Toast, I highly recommend it! They also have cute anime decorations and pac-man machines you can play while waiting for your dessert!
