With spring in the air, these two local experts set out to find the best spots to enjoy the upcoming sunny days in the Cambridge area. We hope these spots are both entertaining and niche enough for your reading and visiting pleasure.
“Eliot Street Cafe” Dunkin’ on JFK street, Harvard: It may seem silly to have a Dunkin’ on this list, but this Dunkin’ is different. It was converted from a local cafe, and it provides plenty of seating, both indoors and out, as well as windows overlooking beautiful JFK Street.
Dunkin’ on Somerville Ave, Somerville: This Dunkin’ lies in the middle of a busy section on Somerville Ave, but it still manages to shine through all the ruckus. Everyone, including employees and patrons, is always kind, and it’s very accessible via public transit.
Dunkin’ in Alewife station: This American institution lies in the husk of a former train hub, now nearly empty of passengers. In the dark, grimy station, there’s almost nothing to bring one joy before they catch the outbound red line. Nothing, that is, except Dunkin’.
Dunkin’ on Concord Ave, Fresh Pond: Perfect as the spring weather starts rolling in, this Dunkin’ provides outdoor seating and a glorious view of our Cambridge treasure, Fresh Pond. This lively location could foster a boundless friendship or perhaps an introspective moment alone with one’s thoughts.
Dunkin’ on Church Street, Harvard (a haiku): Unparalleled grace, Nobody compares with you, Best Dunkin’ around.
Dunkin’ on Mass Ave, North Cambridge: Hop off the ole’ 77 and get ready to absolutely obliterate a bacon, egg, and cheese. Nowhere more delightful to enjoy life’s simple pleasures than this coffeehouse. The glorious windows and spacious seating invite you to look out to passersby and realize ‘everything is going to be okay.’
A tribute to the Harvard Station Dunkin: O Harvard Station Dunkin’, I miss you so. O Harvard Station Dunkin’, how you made my heart glow. O Harvard Station Dunkin’, why did you go? O Harvard Station Dunkin’, don’t leave me alone. Harvard Station Dunkin’, my sun and my moon. Harvard Station Dunkin’, gone far too soon. Well, Harvard Station Dunkin’, I’ve laid you to rest. Now, Harvard Station Dunkin’, I wish you the best.
A hot spot for delicious food, fascinating art, and unparalleled education, our city holds endless opportunities for discovery. Narrowing this list down was a difficult task, but an honor nonetheless. We gathered something for everyone: the lost, the lonely, the brave. Let this list be your compass as you set out to explore spring in the Boston Area.
