Roust Sandwiches and Coffee

"Tried for the first time and overall enjoyed the experience. Drinks: Mocha was well balanced and tasty. Sandwiches: Got the Darwin’s Mt. Auburn (turkey sandwich) and Strawberry Hill (beets sandwich). Both tasted good but were pretty messy to eat. They seemed a little hastily made (ie: bread toasted but cheese was not melted) and fell apart easily. People complain the sandwiches were too small, but I disagree. The Darwin’s was massive and the Strawberry Hill was a normal portion that would leave you satisfied. Atmosphere: cozy cafe vibes on one side. Prices: Felt a little high for lunch sandwiches but experience was positive enough that I felt like I’d gotten good value. Would return!"

"Wow, finally a quality and adventurous sandwich place with vegan and vegetarian options. Delightful with long selection of breads. The vegan chocolate chip collie was also a treat. The coffee is super and the baristas and service is super friendly. Plenty of seating and very warm atmosphere."

"I never miss breakfast here when I’m in Boston, and I’m grateful that Mike managed to carry forward the Darwin’s magic under its new name and ownership. I think the Porter on sourdough is my all-time favorite sandwich, but it’s truly hard to go wrong. I hope they bring back the breakfast burritos!"

"Cappuccino review on Friday, July 21, 2023. I got an 8 ounce cappuccino for here, that had nice steamed milk, more like a latte. It was a smooth, tasty cappuccino with no bitterness. The flat white is also an 8 ounce cup, but the latte is 12 or 16 ounces. You can order espresso drinks at the sandwich counter or at the coffee bar. Note that at the sandwich counter they don’t list the flat white as an option but it does show on the menu behind the coffee bar."

"Had the Harvard Yard breakfast sandwich. Good quality ingredients but too salty. Not a lot of seating and half the tables were hogged by single patrons staring at their laptops. Most of these people seemed to be finished with their food and drink while other patrons with fresh orders had to wait for seating."
