Harvard Smith Campus Center

Harvard’s Smith Campus Center is an oasis of comfy chairs, coffee, and good food for students. Fortunately it’s also open to the public. While there are just a handful of vendors, the options and seating areas (as well as the calming, plant-filled “living walls”) make this one of the best fast-casual options in all of Cambridge. Choose from banh mi from Bon Me, healthy veggie bowls from Whole Heart Provisions, or casual Greek fare from Saloniki. Blackbird Donuts and Pavement Coffee complete the offerings.
