Darwin's Putnam Ave. - Cambridge

Darwin’s is one of those coffee shops that is taken over by students so every table is one kid, one Mac, and one small cup of coffee. In other words, good luck finding a table. Not that you really want one because all of the furniture Is uncomfortable with uneven legs. Maybe that’s their strategy to keep students from overstaying their welcome? Regardless, my latte was excellent and my Rindge sandwich was tasty, albeit light on hummus and avocado (offset by a hearty helping of cheddar). Unfortunately, I had actually wanted a Tempeh Tantrum, but they were out of tempeh. Bottom line, with a daughter at Harvard, I’ll be back, but would probably go for Tatte, if given a choice.

It used to be good but now the workers are rude and negligent. I had to remind them chatting for ten minutes that I haven't got my coffee yet. When I tried to check in if they're still accepting orders--because it was close to their closing time--the cashier was even annoyed. Lol

Last week they called me because they didn’t have the GF bread for my online order, but they have it again in stock now! They have also been really quick with sandwich orders recently. The chipotle aioli is great, you can even add it to most sandwiches on the Toast App.

Got the florentine and cold brew creamsicle. perfect summer snack for a hot day

Delicious sandwiches great service.And I love that they keep their packaging to a minimum!
