Stir (Old Swiss)

if you've got a slow morning ahead and no particular reason to rush, cherry hinton road isn't a bad place to spend it. stir sits inside the old swiss development on the cherry hinton road end of cambridge, which puts it a little outside the tourist orbit, and that tends to attract people who actually want to be there rather than people just passing through. the crowd skews local and returning, the kind of place where you bring your laptop or a book and nobody's quietly hoping you'll leave. regulars clearly like what they find here, and they keep coming back for it. if you're heading out that way on a weekday morning, a cortado before the day kicks in is a reasonable plan.
