Cambridge Hotels – 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.
