"In the same way that wearing glasses doesn’t actually make you ugly, being an uncreatively named sushi spot in a strip mall doesn’t mean you can’t be one of the very best in Cambridge. Come to this casual place in Harvard Square for either the omakase (~$100) or the more moderately priced but still great a la carte menu of rolls and nigiri and congratulate yourself of knowing what inner beauty really is."

"The decor isn't the focus at this Harvard Square raw stop, but folks clamor for its fresh sushi, prepared simply and elegantly as sushi should be. Best of all, the cost remains reasonable making sushi every night a reality for those who live in the area. Cafe Sushi has been part of the neighborhood scene since the early '80s, and their experience shines through in the terrific rolls."

Savor some of the freshest nigiri around, including seasonal choices like Japanese barracuda and New Zealand king salmon."

What was once a tucked-away sashimi bar has blossomed into a 100-seat izayaka, where you can now pair your nigiri with Japanese milk bread, ember roasted duck breast, King crab yakitori and wagyu beef dumplings.

"U Sushi at Coolidge Corner is a solid sushi spot, with a wide range of affordable options, especially if you order for lunch. Their sashimi lunch box, for instance, with tuna, salmon, and red snapper, comes in at $11.45 (we’re not sure who made the decision to charge the extra 45 cents). If you’re having a big night in, there’s always the 94-piece sushi and maki tray as well."

This hole-in-the wall coffee spot may be easy to miss, as it resides just a few doors down from the largest Tatte location in Boston, but its artistic lattes and sleek interior are eye-catching.

"Status: All locations open daily for takeout (advance online ordering available). The sleek and chic Brighton outpost provides the Boston Landing area with Tandem Coffee options ranging from Chemex-brewed pour-overs to boxes of batched brew for up to 10 officemates.

But for the best experience, try out one of their seasonal flavors— they’re even more unique. #SpoonTip: Their dairy free ice creams are made from a variety of milks, from soy, to coconut, to hemp, so you’ll have no problem finding one that suits your needs."
