The EDGE Café

cambridge takes its coffee seriously, and mill road is where a lot of that seriousness quietly concentrates. the edge café at 351 mill road sits in one of the city's most genuinely local stretches, away from the tourist pull of the centre, where the shops and cafés tend to reflect the people who actually live here rather than those passing through. it's well regarded among locals, and that kind of reputation in a neighbourhood this particular doesn't come easily. you don't have to be a specialty obsessive to appreciate what's happening here, but if you are, you'll find the conversation worth having. the street itself is worth the detour on its own terms, and the edge gives you a solid reason to stop somewhere along it, coffee in hand, on a slow weekday morning.
