Faro

This is probably the most unique and quirky coffee space I've ever been to! They charge 25¢ for cows milk with no charge for plant milk which is awesome. They also claim to be a "no laptop" cafe (although I did see some customers on their laptops) but the point is that they want to bring back a sense of community and togetherness which is certainly admirable. I would much rather give my money to a small, independently owned coffee shop with great values like this over the corporate chains on every corner, this place is a must try!!Coffee- AMAZING. I got an iced oat milk latte with earl grey syrup (how cool??) and I really loved it. The syrup was light, the espresso bold and flavorful. I like that they have rotating seasonal syrups and their coffee menu is really simple. Service- fast and friendly!~vibes~ immaculate!!! This is what makes this place super unique. Dimly lit, creaky wooden floors and mismatched wooden furniture, plants everywhere, the echoing sounds of grinding coffee beans, friendly chatter, and music to match the vibe. Can't think of a better place to enjoy a morning brew

I visited Faro and ordered a matcha latte. The shop itself was charming and cozy, creating an inviting atmosphere. The matcha latte, fell short of my expectations. I prefer my lattes to be creamy with a bit of foam, but this one lacked the craftsmanship I was hoping for. Overall, the experience wasn't memorable, and it's unlikely that I'll be returning. The ambiance was there, but unfortunately, the quality of the drink did not match up.*Cool spot to gather but not to work or study since they are laptop laptop-free cafe.

I love this coffee spot! It has one of the cutest, coziest interiors, and I find myself always wanting to stop by whenever I pass by. I love their cold brew and their dessert stand is also fantastic. I personally adore their caneles, but I believe their baked items change daily. Only thing to point out is that the actual coffee shop is always packed, so it can be a little challenging to find seats. However, they have a no laptop policy, which helps to minimize long-staying customers. Overall, highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a local coffee shop vibe!

Faro is a super cafe with a good amount of seating and a cozy atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and the coffee is decent. They charge extra for cows milk and $0 for plant based milks which I love! My only complaint is that they don't have many flavor options. I also wish they were open later, but they are open until 5 which isn't too bad!

super cute cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I came here on a Sunday morning and the cafe was already packed! I ordered their hibiscus tea and croissant and both were delicious. their hibiscus tea has plenty of flavor without it being too overpowering. their croissant was flakey and sweet and just the perfect size. this location offers indoor and outdoor seating, but come early because their seats are always taken! I believe they don't charge extra for plant based milk which is always a pro! this is the perfect place to meet up with friends and catch up.

Cozy cafe! The place is decorated very nicely and offers a variety of drinks and pastries.I ordered the seasonal iced latte which is an iced latte with their seasonal earl grey syrup! The latte was smooth and perfect amount of sweetness, I really enjoyed it. It's also nice that they do not charge extra for oat milk. Note there is a $0.25 cent additional charge for cows milk.The service here was great as well! I was also able to find some parking nearby. Would recommend checking this place out.

I wanted to like this place so badly but it was really disappointing. My first issue is the selections. I just wanted an iced matcha with vanilla but they didn't have regular vanilla which is unheard of to me. They only had rubarb vanilla and it tasted so strange. I think they're trying to be too hipster. My second issue is that my small matcha was $8 which is insane. Not to mention, the matcha was awful. It was so watery and tasteless. You're better off just making a matcha at home or going to starbucks at that point.

Cozy cafe with a no laptop policy on the outskirts of Harvard square. I love coming here on weekend mornings to relax with a book and a pastry. Their pastries are from Michette (in Somerville) and everything I've tried has been delicious. Their iced latte sizing is on the smaller side and their house made syrups are quite subtle in flavor. I find myself craving the ambience and the pastries rather than the coffee

Cute new cafe in Harvard sq! Ambiance is very quaint and the coffee is good but portions are small and it's a bit overpriced. I'm glad they offer oat milk for free, but was a bit surprised that they charged extra for cow's milk.

The ambiance of this place is wonderful but it's honestly pretty pricey for what you get. Maybe you pay for the ambiance, but i don't think the matcha latte you get is worth 6.50!
