2nd Street Cafe

Definitely a hidden gem .
I got a meatball sub which was Probably the second best meatball sub (first of course my grandmother's) I have had.   Also, the breakfast sandwich was big enough for 2.  Oh and did I say home made chocolate chip cookies !!!  Cafe was very quaint and clean.  The owner was the sweetest with a very welcoming smile. Will be going back on a regular basis.

Best sandwiches in the Boston area!!! Absolutely delicious with hearty portions. You'll definitely get addicted and can see this being a local favorite that you can hit up multiple times in a week! Excellent service, friendly staff, and centrally located.

We went here yesterday after reading all the great reviews. The 5 star reviews are accurate! We had a BLT with cheese on sourdough (looked like a lb of bacon!) and a Tuna Melt on wheat (also huge). Both sandwiches were excellent and the amount you get for the price is amazing.   We could only eat half and packed the rest to take with (they were delicious as leftovers too!).  The staff was very friendly and service was quick.  We have found our new "go-to" spot when we visit Cambridge and we look forward to trying more delicious sandwiches.

This place was so cute! Perfect little spot for the nearby construction workers to stop in for breakfast and lunch. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese. They do not have sausage. The bagel was pressed in a griddle and perfectly crunchy! It was a great sandwich at a wonderful little shop in Cambridge.

This sandwich cafe is worth the stop! I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich with chips and a drink. The sandwich was cut in two and was HUGE!!! It was the most tasty, delicious sandwich I have eaten in a long time. I was full by the time I finished every last scrumptious bite! I wish this cafe was located in my hometown.

Fantastic & friendly staff are here to serve you quality made-to-order hot or cold breakfast and lunch sandwiches and "big salads".  I was so happy to find this place with such a cozy, neighborhood feel, as it features truly excellent old school service.  A great small business to support when you pause to enjoy your breakfast or lunch on the go in Cambridge!

Stopped by today for a quick brunch and was blown away by the food here! Ordered a Chicken Melt, Grilled Reuben & a ginger molasses cookie.

Chicken Melt -- super great! you can really tell that the chicken is well seasoned and the whole combination is great!

Grilled Reuben -- delicious :-)

Ginger Molasses cookie -- ginger is not my usual go-to but we wanted to try something new and THIS REALLY AMAZED ME! there is a good balance between both and it's adequately sweet, so you can literally keep eating it without feeling tired of the taste!

10/10 would recommend

Bacon egg and cheese on sourdough was fantastic. Staff is great. Definitely a place to make a regular stop for breakfast.

This spot is low-key amazing. Thought it was sketch initially due to the hilariously few hours they're open and the sign out front suggesting they reserve the right to refuse in-person orders if the place is too busy. But the sandwiches are absolutely delicious (perhaps not as gourmet as Tatte's, tho just as tasty and more sizable); the online ordering/pickup system is fast/easy; and the folks that work there are super friendly and welcoming. What a gem!

Friendly and tasty. I ended up ordering a second meal! And another to go. Thanks to the crew.
