Roust Opens in the Former Darwin's Space in Cambridge's Harvard Square

A new cafe has come to Cambridge, moving into the original Darwin's space.

A message sent by Leah Klein of City Living Boston states that Roust is now open in Harvard Square, taking over the former Darwin's space on Mt Auburn Street. Cambridge Day first reported on the coffee shop and bakery-cafe coming to the storefront last month, indicating that the new place has a similar concept to that of Darwin's, offering baked goods, breakfast items, sandwiches, coffee, and more.

All locations of Darwin's closed late last year, including other locations on Cambridge Street, Massachusetts Avenue, and Putnam Avenue; the Cambridge Street location will become home to a worker-owned cafe called Circus Co-op.

The address for Roust is 148 Mt Auburn Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
