Grab a spot at one of the communal tables and enjoy easily access power outlets, plenty of space and a great view of Harvard Square.

This is one of the few locations with ceramic mugs and ample seating. It's easy to miss that upstairs area if you are new or passing through, but it is worth stopping in

Great place to get work done past midnight, it's open to 1 AM each night. with a lively caffeinated laptop scene on the second floor. Keep the receipt - you need the secret code to go to the john.

Great place to go mid morning. The upstairs portion was peaceful. Then again it is July. School is not fully in session just yet

Great Starbucks to go to as of right now because school is not in session. the baristas are quick and quite friendly. the upstairs portion was very calm and enjoyable.

Check out the wireless battery charging stations by the windows. Coffee, free Wi-Fi, and wireless power (and the Harvard Square view). It doesn't get much better than this.

Great Starbucks. One of the largest Starbucks I've witnessed. It has an upper level with specialty drinks and food.

One of the nicest Starbucks in the area. it is in a great spot and it is pretty cool on the inside.

I like that this location is open late and has a second floor. There is also local music now and then upstairs. Maybe I'll even toot the flute there.

Beautiful Starbucks unlike any in the city. Definitely head directly upstairs to enjoy a Clover brewed coffee to stay and enjoy the best view of Harvard Square.
Christopher WoodsJuly 19, 2015
It's a Starbucks. What else can I say? Great coffee as always. Lovely location.

This is a very nice spacious starbucks. Nice resting place when walking around the area.

If you're a Harvard almun, head to the 2nd floor to experience a decor & ambience reminiscent of common rooms in older Harvard dorms and house libraries.

This is an awesome Starbucks, and the staff is so sweet! Grab an iced Clover upstairs from one of the knowledgeable and friendly baristas!

Massive place with tons of staff on to speed things up! Get a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate; tastes like a chocolate covered pretzel!

Although upstairs is nice, they only have clover upstairs. Servers only refill clover. If u want normal brew, u have 2 get refill by urself cuz that is y clover costs more

Grab a coffee from the Clover bar on the second floor & cross your fingers there's a seat available during peak-hours.
Alexa MazurOctober 20, 2012
Ask for the bathroom code. It's good for the rest of the day & convenient on your way back to the T.

Upstairs serves tea, espresso, and Clover coffee FOR HERE ONLY. Order to-go lattés and other drinks downstairs.

Second floor has a coffee bar of it's own - skip the massive line downstairs if you're coming in to sit and work / hang out for a while.

Very busy during the school year filled with students hoping to get work done until 1am!
Ryan HanleyNovember 5, 2011
It's really pretty here, and big, but always so crowded and no room to sit. There's another to place to order upstairs - never wait in line downstairs!!!

Make sure you ask for your receipt and hold onto it as you'll need it to get down to the high security bathroom in the basement. Still don't understand why the need for such measures.

I love this Starbucks. Lots of workspace upstairs. Super chill environment. Stick to the Pumpkin Spice Latte during fall though, the Salted Caramel Mocha is too much.

Duracell powermats are now built into some tables and the windowsills on the second. Grab a case for your iPhone or galaxy s iii and charge up.

Predictably solid, cool reserve bar upstairs

Come here for the coffee... Not the free wifi. The top floor has enough computer users that the connection will be slower than most smartphones.
ShiaApril 1, 2016
Nice view on the second floor and decor around
Maynard ClarkJuly 14, 2012
Has WiFi, which noncustomers may SOMETIMES access from outside the Starbucks by sitting on the curb.

Use mobile order if you can in the mornings, otherwise it's a long wait.
