What People Are Saying About 1369 Coffee House

In Short – Perhaps the area's most beloved independent coffeehouse, the 1369 caters to a fiercely loyal crowd of academics and cerebral types. There's a small and changing selection of soups, salads and sandwiches at lunch. Whether eating or not, just about every patron orders a mug of hard-hitting brew; any of the grinds are excellent in flavor and depth. Non-coffee drinkers can choose cocoa or brewed pots of 15 loose teas.

Located at the site of a former jazz club, this beloved neighborhood coffee house draws an eclectic mix of academics, intellectuals, artists and students. With Wi-Fi and plugs for laptops, lingering is expected, and the 1369 is perfect for socializing, doing a term-paper or curling up with a good book. These baristas serve two dozen varieties of coffee from around the globe including special blends from Central America, Africa, Mexico and Indonesia. And the roasts run the gamut from full city light mahogany to a dark Italian roast. But coffee isn?t the only story here. They are also famous for their delicious iced drinks like the Mocha Slide (a frozen blend of coffee, chocolate, milk and cream); and for their rich Almond Joy hot chocolate served with coconut. 1369 also specializes in over 25 varieties of black, green and herbal teas. Also try their amazing Thai iced tea with ginger, cloves, and cardamom. The food is pretty good too, including fresh home-cooked muffins, pastries from local bakers, homemade soups, salads, and healthy sandwiches. Favorite desserts include the mouthwatering fudge torte and coffee cake. If you want to get a taste of real Cambridge culture, a visit to the 1369 Coffee House is a must.

Those without braincells beware

Chock full of good coffee and arrogant academic types. Food is fair, soup could use salt, and the service is mediocre at best.
- Pros: Good to Great coffee
- Cons: Crowd can be a bit irritating in an arrogant way
