Faro Cafe to Open in Cambridge's Harvard Square

A new coffee shop and bookstore that gets its inspiration from a beloved Harvard Square spot that closed two years ago is planning to open in a nearby space this summer.

A poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants says (via a Cambridge Day article) that Faro Cafe is planning to open on Arrow Street, with owner Henry Hoffstot saying that "We're trying to create a space where we of course sell coffee, but we also foster conversation and have sort of a Cafe Pamplona-style place where people can go and talk." Cambridge Day mentions that the upcoming spot plans to have seating for 24 in two rooms along with space for approximately 50 more outside, and that it hopes to offer live music and talks while serving drinks and having a simple food menu that doesn't require a kitchen. If all goes well, Faro Cafe could be opening in late June or early July.

Cafe Pamplona closed down in the spring of 2020 after being in business for more than 60 years.

The address for the upcoming Faro Cafe in Harvard Square is 5 Arrow Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
