Cafe Anthony

We use Café Anthony to order lunch for our company, and I am very happy with them. Their salads are filled with the yummy (and expensive) ingredients and not just tons of lettuce. Everyone loved their meal today, and it was delivered in a timely manner. Our team loves Café Anthony!

Not a fan. Menu is rather basic, food is uninspired, service is slow, and the sand which was a bit greasy.
The woman working the counter was unfriendly and lost my order. After 20 minutes she apologized and brought me coffee as an apology (note she did not ask if I wanted coffee). The whole experience took 45 minutes. We should have gone somewhere else, and should you.

Delirious egg N cheese on a brioche light as a cloud! Finally a cool local place for bfast.

Really delicious lasagnas. Lattes are nice, creamy. I really like the owner. She’s very sweet and always makes conversation. Also like that they’re open late. it’s a great place to chill and work.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! Two hours late, called and they said that it wasn’t there and should be on it’s way, but they didn’t know where it was or when it would be here.

Nice staff, fresh ingredients, and good portions. They seem unusually thoughtful about their food. Relatedly, they’re not fast, so order ahead for pick up.

1hr45min delivery time.
Cold steak sandwich.
Did not have correct toppings.
Bread was all broken like it was thrown against a wall.
Called for refund, said id get a call back and never got a call. This place is a joke. Congrats for inspiring my first Unilocal review.

I live right by Café Anthony and can’t believe I just made it there for the first time. I stopped by to grab a breakfast sandwich and was very pleased overall. While not an overwhelmingly amazing sandwich, it was quite good, and I will definitely be back. I ordered a bacon, egg, cheddar, and avocado on an everything bagel and it came out nice and hot with ample filling. The cashier was incredibly friendly, and I got my food in a timely manner. They also had cases of baked goods that looked delicious and an extensive menu of lunch options. Café Anthony is a great low key option with free wifi and good food if you want to grab a casual bite around Harvard/​Central!

One of my favorite places to get coffee near Harvard square. Table space available most of the time, a good atmosphere to work or socialize. Great coffee, sandwiches, and friendly service. I’m becoming a regular!

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE delivery took over 2 hours. After I called to ask where the sandwich was there were no apologies or even an acknowledgment that 2 hours was a long time to deliver a sandwich. Definitely don’t order here unless you have 3 hours to dedicate to a sandwich…

The food is good but delivery is as slow as it gets. If you’re in a rush, don’t order from here because you won’t get your sandwich for about 2 hours.

Ordered food with someone there over the phone. 2 hours later, still no delivery. Not pleased with this lack of service. There is no reason for this to happen.

Had one of their prosciutto and mozzarella options. Really good stuff– comparable with or better than the best late-​night options. Real bread, high quality ingredients. The owner is sweet, too. Would love to go back to try the coffee.

I’ve only had the coffee here, but both the drip coffee and espresso drinks are very good. They also sell Gracenote beans, which is a plus

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!
I ordered food from them (via grubhub) and it arrived TWO HOURS LATER and COLD. I called them repeatedly and they kept telling me that the driver was on his way. When I did get the food, of the two hot items I ordered, one was about room temperature and one was COLD — I mean like it had been in a refrigerator COLD.
I contacted GrubHub immediately, they called 30 min later to say that the food did NOT take 2 hours (I have the email confirmation from grubhub and the phone call from the driver so I can easily prove that I placed the order at 8:11am and that the driver called to say he was out side at 10:12am) the owner would only issue a refund if he could come pick up my food. Given that this was 30 min later and I was very hungry (because I waited TWO HOURS for breakfast)), I had already used my microwave to heat up the food and eaten it.
If they had just acknowledged what happened and refunded me, I wouldn’t have written this bad review – I don’t think I’ve ever written on Unilocal before. Or if they had apologized even ONCE when I called. Would «i’m sorry it’s taking so long» be so hard?

good coffee, reasonably priced breakfasts and paninis.

Wow…
Perfection in Sandwiches and Breakfast.
Anything you want that they have they can make.
Prices reasonable.
Coffee geniuses. … sandwich masters.
Make your own !!! I tried the harvard:
Corned beef, pastrami, swiss cole slaw. added egg and bacon.
5 star food 5 star coffee…

This place is open on Christmas Day! Also the bagels were great and the banana pancakes were amazing! Life saver!

Welcome to the neighborhood. I’m so tired of gastropubs and all the expensive restaurants at Harvard square. Had the steak tip dinner and it was out of this world delicious. Can’t wait to try more!!!

This café is quiet, clean, has fast wifi and really nice light. It’s a great place to work. Also the food is fantastic and local. They have iggy’s pastries, Taza chocolate, MEM tea, etc. The salads are off the hook and the chicken is really tender and tasty. They deliver fast too if you’re looking for tasty reliable food. This is an unpretentious but very good place like central square and Harvard square used to be full of. Welcome to the neighborhood, Café Anthony.
