Cambridge Eats

Some of my favorite places to grab a snack or full-fledged meal (all reasonably-priced and yummy, of course!):

(creme brulee and "dark chocolate decadence" from Finale)

Berryline: yummy froyo with all the interesting flavors and toppings you can think of (our version of PinkBerry)
Boloco: "inspired" burritos and smoothies, free wi-fi and online ordering available
Boston Tea Stop: the place to go for bubble tea in all flavors imaginable as well as mochi ice cream (mentioned in my previous post). They used to have delicious mini dumplings too, but they're gone now :(
Darwin's: simply AMAZING sandwiches and treats!!! "shabby-chic" atmosphere and wandering wi-fi--a must-go for sure :) (p.s. the sandwiches are named after the streets that surround each of the 2 cambridge locations)
Finale: incredible desserts and a surprisingly good (and affordable) dinner menu, great coffee too
Le's: nothing like a huge bowl of savory pho to warm you up on those cold, rainy days so common in Cambridge :D
Uno's: nothing particularly amazing but always good and satisfying, especially the half-price appetizers on weekday nights and Chicago-style deep dish pizzas that remind me of home :)
UpStairs on the Square: a really classy, cute, and unique place with yummy gourmet food at a decent price, particularly good for afternoon tea (who knew it existed in Cambridge??) on Saturdays and Sunday brunch--just beware of overpriced drinks!!!
