Cafe Foy

a place you find yourself returning to before you've even planned it. cafe foy sits on quayside, which puts you right at the water's edge in cambridge, the kind of spot where the city slows down a little without announcing it. the regulars here are committed in a way that says something without needing to be said. not loud about it, not precious, just quietly consistent in showing up. if you're in cambridge and you care about what's actually in your cup, quayside is worth the slight detour from the market square crowd. the riverbank setting makes an afternoon coffee feel less like a caffeine stop and more like a reason to stay put. come for the flat white on a weekday morning, when the city hasn't fully found its volume yet.
