About COFEIN

The brunch menu includes smashed avocado with scrambled eggs and eggs benedict, and the sourdough plate pairs scrambled eggs with feta. A hummus option is also available for those who want something different.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast built around eggs on sourdough is what reviewers return for most, whether avocado and egg with added scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs and feta, or the brunch with hummus, and one calls it the best sourdough they have had. Close behind are the perfectly cooked poached eggs, eggs and feta on a croissant, and burrata and peaches that one diner enjoyed on a second visit. Reviewers describe fresh food, large portions and friendly, lovely staff, and the coffee, chai latte and Americano earn praise, though one found the beans over-roasted and somewhat burnt. The main complaints are a cramped layout with tables close together, and, on a busy Sunday morning, slow service and tables that were not cleared and wiped between customers. One couple liked it enough to eat breakfast there every morning of their stay in Cambridge.

“We had an amazing breakfast here! Everything was fresh and incredibly tasty. The staff was very patient and accommodating with us. 100% recommended!! Love from Italy!”

“I’m absolutely obsessed with their breakfast! First time I ordered the scrambled eggs and feta on sourdough I was a bit reluctant because it seems like such a simple dish that I could make it at home, but it’s worth every penny!! The staff is always very kind and happy to serve you as well. Highly recommend it”

“Was recommended Cofein so wanted to give it a go for breakfast! Was not disappointed - food was really good. I went for Avocado and Egg on sourdough and added scrambled eggs. My friend had Eggs and Feta on Croissant - also looked delish! Didn't have a coffee this time, but will be back again! 😃 Came back for a second visit and had the Buratta and Peaches.... SO good!!!”
