Smoot Standard Cafe

About

The Smoot Standard is a neighborhood cafe, restaurant and bar in Central Square, Cambridge, set between MIT and Harvard. By day it runs as a casual walk-up cafe with freshly brewed coffee, pastries, and a range of breakfast and lunch options. In the evening the space shifts into a dinner spot with seasonal dishes, craft cocktails, wine and beer, so the same room serves a morning coffee run and a night out with friends.

The menu centers on quality ingredients and seasonal flavors, and the stated goal is genuine hospitality in a cozy, welcoming setting for any occasion. It aims to be a place where the community can gather, connect and unwind, whether someone is grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a meal with friends. The business invites people to come for coffee, stay for dinner and return for a cocktail.
