About The Smoot Standard

Welcome to The Smoot Standard, a neighborhood cafe, restaurant, and bar in Central Square, Cambridge. By day, we serve freshly brewed coffee, daily-baked pastries, and a variety of breakfast and lunch options in a casual, walk-up setting. By night, the space transforms into a vibrant dinner destination with seasonal dishes, craft cocktails, wine, and beer. Our mission is to provide genuine hospitality in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere for all occasions--whether you're grabbing a quick coffee, enjoying a meal with friends, or hosting a private event. We're located between MIT and Harvard, offering a space for the community to gather, connect, and unwind. Come for coffee, stay for dinner, and return for a cocktail.
