đź Zuzu's Petals: Cambridgeâs Cell Phone-Free HavenâDessert
đź Zuzu's Petals: Cambridgeâs Cell Phone-Free HavenâDessert, Wine, and Real Connections Tucked at 204 Hampshire St, this spot is a breath of fresh air: a dessert bar + wine lounge that encourages you to put your phone down. Trust me, itâs worth it. đš The Vibe: Cozy, Colorful, and Unplugged Walls painted deep purple (softened with gray accents) + purple napkins, cushions, and quirky orange string lights. It feels like a friendâs living roomâwarm, a little eclectic, and totally inviting. The walls are covered in polaroids from guests đžâsuch a cute touch that makes it feel lived-in. đ· Food & Drinks: Sweet, Savory, and Smooth CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e đź: Stunning. The caramel top cracked perfectly, and the creamy custard underneath was rich but not heavy. Paired with earl grey tea (served in adorable vintage china â) = dessert perfection. Apple Crumble (to-go) đ: Cinnamon-heavy (maybe too much for me) and⊠better eaten in-house. Something about the vibe makes desserts taste better here. Pro tip: Ask about their wine listâgreat for sipping while you chat (or people-watch). đ Fun Perks & Rules No phones? Kinda scary at first, but liberating! I brought a film camera (just in case) and snapped a few quick picsâno one minded. Itâs more about being present than policing. Activities: Mondays: Buy a drink, get a free brownie đ«. Tuesdays (7-9 PM): French conversation hourânatives get a free drink! đ«đ· Bonus: Theyâve got board gamesâperfect for groups. Whether youâre with friends, on a date, or flying solo (itâs great for reading or journaling!), Zuzuâs Petals feels like a little escape. Put the phone away, savor the crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e, and soak it in. #CambridgeEats #UnpluggedVibes #DessertLovers
