The menu features breakfast fare; eggs, pancakes, banana bread. Be warned. This place is pricey. 5.00 for an ice coffee which would be a medium anyplace else.This place has high ceilings with a loft where we could have sat. There is seating in front right on Harvard Square. The front doors open so the front can be open on a nice day.The service was excellent with the waitress keeping an eye on us. I had the breakfast bowl that had a poached egg, cherry tomato, kale and avocado. The food was delicious but pricey. It is definitely a gourmet kitchen. I knocked it down one star because of the prices.If I were in the neighborhood, I would return with my credit card.

I'm not one to go out for breakfast/brunch unless it's for 1) a special occasion ie. someone is visiting or 2) I don't make it at home or 3) dimsum. That being said... this occasion fell under category 1 which was to see my cousin who was visiting and she suggested it since she knows of the ones in NY when she lived there some years ago.I came here last Sunday. Upon entering the cafe there was a fowl smell like a soiled diaper, it didn't last but the scent resurfaced right as we got our meals. I don't know if there's a bathroom in the establishment but if there is i'm guessing it must have been an issue with the plumbing and the bathroom door being left open... I'm not sure. Otherwise it is a charming and quaint cafe nestled in Harvard Square. We sat upstairs and one of the things I noticed instantly was the natural lighting from the sun roof windows. There aren't many places in boston with this feature.I didn't have any personally since I was having coffee but I love that they have immunity boosting lattes on their menu like turmeric, beet, matcha etc.I'm not sure what breakfast prices are like since I rarely experience it but my opinion it was pricey. I ordered the cheapest sandwich which was the Bacon, Egg & Cheese croissant which was about $11 - it was okay. The egg was too wet and the sandwich was messy to hold as I ate. One of the first of many pieces of egg that fell out, fell onto the table then sliding off onto my husband's pant leg. I also ordered a small latter which was nice but a cup with a handle for a hot drink would have been better than a handless cup.My husband ordered the BLATE and requested micro greens to be added. His sandwich looked good. I should order that next time to try instead. I sampled one of his wedges which were really nice - semi-thin and crispy. And my cousin got the ricotta pancakes.Food 2/5Latte (coffee) 4/5Ambience 2.5/5... the smell really brought this downService -3/5 - nothing bad but nothing specialOverall an okay place

Really pricey with just average coffee (I did like the matcha strawberry cloud drink though), but I was disappointed to see flies in the pastry display case so that was unappetizing. Service was also very slow and the server took a long time to get my warmed pastry even though I could see it was ready and had just been sitting in the microwave for a while as she chatted with her friend. Interior ambience was cute with lots of plants. Personally I'd recommend going to Flour Bakery down the block instead!

I came here to WFH with a friend and it's so bright and cozy inside. We went in the upstairs section which definitely is a little more private and quiet than sitting downstairs. No matter which floor you're on, you can enjoy the ambiance and vibes of it all. This is a pretty spacious spot in Harvard Square - and great to grab a bite as you WFH (which is exactly what we did). We ordered lunch and it was yummy! The menu is a a bit of an inquired taste but it's got plenty of healthy options. I'll have to try a smoothie next time!

The coffee is ok. I stop by whenever I need a quick pick me up. I've only ordered a double shot of espresso. I find that I never know what I'm going to get sometimes the espresso is great sometimes it's not. The inside is nice and I really like how much light comes in during the day. The service is great and the staff is friendly.I'll try something different the next time I go.

I was looking for a coffee shop to study in Harvard square, and this comes up as recommendation. They have two floors, and the upstairs is not too crowded, you can definitely focusing on your work when you dine upstairs. I ordered a capuchino and b.l.t and a smoothie. The smoothie was $11, hm not worth it My conclusion is this cafe shop is too expensive for coffee studying spot, and not cute enough for brunch spot( too tight of a space)

A great spot for brunch!! Highly recommend getting a reservation as the space is cozy and fills up quickly especially on the weekends. The servers are all very attentive and check up on you often. The pancakes were super fluffy and the breakfast sandwich was so good! Loved the garlic aioli especially. Will definitely come again

Really a 3.5.This place has promise! But it's basically an unwelcoming Tatte, which is a much better option in this area. Food was fine, slightly pricy but good flavors. Really I just don't love the idea that it looks like a coffee shop but treats you like a restaurant. Lots of people standing around waiting for their food to go in a cold doorway while there are empty tables in sight. I guess it keeps people from hovering with a laptop all day but it's not the most friendly vibe within a 5 min walk of here. Next time I'll just go around the corner to Tatte or Life Alive.

I have ordered the vegemite toast from Bluestone before and liked it. So today i again ordered the toast w/ vegemite for takeout. I had to wait a while, and then after I left and opened the bag i noticed that they gave me jam instead of vegemite. These 2 things are not the same. So i went back, and the hostess went back to the kitchen then came back and apologized that they were out of vegemite (this is an Aussie themed restaurant, mind you). Did they think that i would not notice? And i had to request utensils for my toast. Good food but not what i wanted.
