Darwin's Ltd - Cambridge St.
Reviews
Their sandwiches, soups and desserts are excellent. Their service is "inconsistent at best." This is the third straight time they've screwed up my order. Either misplaying it, forgetting something, or giving it to someone else. Expect a long wait at any time of the day. I can only assume they're only used to pushy, demanding customers because if you just politely try to get someone's attention, or good forbid, just wait in line for your food to eventually show up, the entire staff will do their best to ignore you.
This sandwich bar/ coffee shop has a creative pizazz that is fitting to its cozy bohemian staff who play the best music selection in Cambridge (except for maybe Charlie Kitchens jukebox), not to mention offer free wi-fi. Their sandwich makers are true to their craft by making gourmet and unique creations. Add some variety to your meal with their homemade soups and tasty sides like their artichoke salad. Darwin's also carries a superior collection of local products and imported treats from wine and beer (to go) and their organic baked goods. My only objection is there aren't many seats available and when you do sit down its usually next to someone who is having a very steamy argument about the Pythagorean theorem or even worse screaming mummies. I love you so Darwin's, but its hard being loyal unless you lower your prices and if you do so I swear I will be yours... daily.
Love it here... my go-to cafe to get work done. They make sandwiches and soup but also have a lot of yummy organic snacks and premade meals like salads and sushi. Great atmosphere.
Not just good sandwiches, not just good sandwiches--nationally significant amazing sandwiches. Ridiculously fresh and delicious. The culinary highlight of the neighborhood.
Suitable to get some work done -- plus, chat with interesting/unique/opinionated hipster baristas (requisite tattoos + moustaches). Highlights: Free Wi-Fi, Daily Specials, Longfellow (ham, apple slice, aged cheddar, and dijon), Florentine Cookies, Kind Bars, Prescott, Crawford, Kirkland, Irving, Mt. Auburn.
