Maple Crullers and Blue Counters in Harvard Square
Start with coffee and a maple cruller, then let the sandwich menu turn a quick bakery stop into lunch.
🥐 Follow the Pastry Case
That glossy cruller has competition from the room. At Daily Provisions in Harvard Square, deep blue cabinetry and a brass framed pastry case put the baked goods right in your path. Pick a maple cruller with your coffee, or let a sandwich take the lead when lunch is the plan.
The cafe sits at One Brattle Square in Cambridge, with breakfast, sandwiches and rotisserie chicken across its menu. This is a neighborhood gathering spot for locals and students, and service can get busy during peak hours, a detail worth keeping in mind for a quick stop.
You can keep the order small and still make it a proper pause. The pastry case supplies the temptation, while the five Cambridge cafes below offer other addresses for your next coffee outing.
