Canteen Cafe — Restaurant in Harvard

One of the very few food spots in this area, and a decent selection of teas, coffee, sandwiches, muffins, bagels, and beer.

It is directly across from the Army base.

The sandwiches are premade, so sadly you can’t chance much (like ordering from Starbucks that way), but $6 for a portobello mushroom, roasted pepper, spinach, goat cheese, and egg sandwich is not bad, so I also bought a $2.50 bagel to put it in (didn’t like the roll).

The tea is a brand that’s new to me: Tisane, and it was excellent.

The cappuccino chocolate chip muffin surprised me. It was quite tasty and quite cappuccino with generous amounts of dark or semi sweet chocolate chips. Really good!

There are also games, comfy chairs, and cute little nooks to read or work (and wifi).

Plenty of outdoor seating under umbrellas too.

I hope the business does well! Wish it were closer!!! I’d...

I tried the cafe part this morning. There are sandwiches displayed to show what is available. I ordered an egg and cheese with no sausage and a house blend coffee.

I was disappointed that they pull from the display sandwiches to full fill your order. The sausage was pulled off the display egg, cheese and sausage sandwich and then heated in the microwave. It was dry, barely any cheese and the English muffin type bread was flat, chewy and stale. After one bite, I questioned myself on how long the sandwich had been in the display case and threw the rest of it out.

The house coffee however is good. I gave the rating of 3 because of the coffee not the sandwich. That would have been a 1. I really like this place for its atmosphere and have previously been there after five and the appetizer food...

I went after seeing a post on FB that this is a good place to work and have breakfast. Three people on staff including a cook. I ordered a sandwich and was given one that was on display reheated. It was spongy and tasted awful. Concept was good but preparation was totally off. Person who made my coffee seemed bothered when original drink I ordered was unavailable and I had to look at menu again. No suggestions. Only nice worker was the lady that was tasked to reheat my sandwich. Not her fault that the sandwich was old. Nice looking spot but with all those people working and only two customers they could have done...
