The Sage of Cambridge — Restaurant in Cambridge

Updated from 5 to 3.

Very limited options for lunch… There is sourdough and there is ham but I just cannot order a ham cheese toastie 🥲.

Most misleading meal description I've seen and most overpriced avocado toast I've paid for!

The staff was very nice though and they offered me a free coffee. The staff gets the star from...

Consistently tasty coffee, oat latte,matcha lattes are very tasty. The salad and mushrooms are both very tasty, but the Sage club sandwich was a little disappointing. Also, I think the tofu in the salad could do with some marinating or cooking or seasoning or something as raw tofu is a little bland.

There's also two items on the menu that are similarly named. (The club sandwich and the Sage club sandwich) meaning it's easy for staff and customers to get them confused, problematic for allergies and dietary preferences alike. (Sage is...
