I feel that Burdick's has all of the charms that you wish every cafe could offer. A beautiful space, great espresso drinks, and delicious pastries. It's almost too much that Burdick's also produces the best chocolates in the US. I feel like this is a real honest value, and gives you a local, unique place to visit. I agree that it is busy during times when Harvard Sq is busy (Sundays, etc.) but worth the effort if you can manage an off peak time. Especially for the hot chocolate.
Pros: Value, Quality, Feel
