A West Cambridge Cafe with an artisanal charm.

Took a visit this morning to grab some breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the indulgent smell of a freshly baked bread as they had a dedicated section for baking fresh bread. Alongside a curated selection of wine and whiskey, they also had a corner showcasing an array of house-made preserves and granola, which collectively contributed to its rustic yet refined local marketplace vibe.

Since there were a lot of negative reviews regarding their food, we initially didn’t have high expectations for their food. Admittedly, being the first customer of the day, the twenty-minute wait for two simple breakfast sandwiches seemed a tad lengthy. The oat milk latte was also a bit too mild for my taste, yet the pastries and the sandwiches more than made up for it.

Both the Hungry Pickle and Luke Rocks the Free World sandwiches boasted perfectly crispy buns that added a satisfying crunch to each bite. Even the simpler Brekkie Supreme sandwich, which didn't appear freshly made, was surprisingly good. From the pastries, we had the Orange Coconut and Maple Pecan Scones, and both were nice treats – moist, buttery, and exquisitely crafted to my preferred taste.

My experience at Hi Rise certainly exceeded my initial expectations. If you’re looking for satisfying breakfast sandwiches and pastries, I recommend giving them a try. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait for the sandwiches, but rest assured, these are well worth the patience.

I’ve been to this local café a few times and really liked it. The prices are a bit high, but I visited because of its location. Recently, I saw mice in the café—not just one, but three. It felt like their playground. I couldn’t enjoy my coffee and felt very uncomfortable. Even in Boston, where mice are common, this was the worst I’ve seen. The staff knows about the problem but isn’t doing anything. I don’t think I’ll visit again for a while. I hope they fix this soon.

Blessed loved and Highly favored

I am happy that I can get fresh sourdough bread here. That is actually not that expensive. The sandwiches and apple pies which I have bought here are overpriced. The sourdough bread is absolutely delicious and the pie is probably good if you don't eat it with resentment like I did! To have spent $17 on this small pie which fits in the palm of my hand and it has just some apples' slices was disappointing.
I recommend get the sourdough bread though!

Lovely little bakery in west Cambridge on the way to alewife. Came in for a quick coffee and snack and loved the selection of sandwiches, breads, and the wine/champagne on offer. Seemed very busy for a Tuesday afternoon, which made our time there fun. Hope to come back again soon !

빵이랑 샌드위치 다 맛있어서 정말 좋아하는 곳이에요!
치킨커리 샌드위치랑 에그샐러드 샌드위치 추천합니다! 진짜 ㅋㅋㅋ 어찌보면 참 간단한 샌드위치인데 완전 맛있어여! 그리고 여기 메이플피칸스콘도 최고!!
별점이 5점이 아니고 4점인 이유는 카푸치노에서 우유맛이 강하게 나서 아쉬웠기에 ㅠㅠ

I stumbled upon this bakery at the Copley Square Farmer's Market. Since their actual location in Cambridge is a bit of a hike for me, I took advantage of this lucky encounter and tried their Nordic Seeded Bread and Lemon Curd Cake. Both were really good. I wish the Nordic Bread was a whole loaf (though it would weigh like a brick - I know this because this is my favorite bread to bring home from Scandinavian countries). The Lemon Curd Cake had a hint of a Meyer lemon which I'm usually not a fan of but it did add a nice layer to the flavor (and I hope my taste buds didn't dream this up).
I look forward to trying some of their other breads and sweets.

I just stopped for cupnoc black coffee. This will be my last time. Such a shame. The coffee resembled more of diesel sludge than a black coffee. It was the bottom of the pot. I went back and told the folks behind the counter. They dismiss my comment! Bad coffee, clearly everything is overpriced and service not where it needs to be.
