"Passing through the Lechmere area and craving a Belgian liege waffle and caffeine? Curio’s got you. The original waffle, served warm and crusted in pearl sugar, always hits the spot. Keep an eye out for the ever-changing waffle specials, too." - Erika Adams
"This quaint spot in East Cambridge serves hot chocolate made with Taza chocolate, and it pairs nicely with one of Curio’s Liege waffles, making for a warm and sweet treat for cold days." - Eater Staff
"The coffee is excellent, but the liège waffle will make your day — it’s the only food item on the daytime menu, and it comes hot to order. For those willing to trek away from East Cambridge, keep an eye out on their social media for their forthcoming restaurant in Andover, Garlic Breath Pizza." - Karen Wilber
"East Cambridge’s Curio Wine, the wine and snack bar that takes over Curio Coffee on Friday nights, is introducing a new weekly series called “Shit We Ate in the ’90s,” featuring “nostalgic guilty pleasure foods ... recreated for grownup tastes.” The debut item tomorrow, September 25, is an homage to the McRib, featuring a riblet made from ground Berkshire pork from Somerville butcher M.F. Dulock, slathered with house-made barbecue sauce, served on a challah bun from Cambridge’s Hi-Rise Bread Company, and finished with local Grillo’s pickles. Also available on the menu every Friday: natural wines by the bottle and a few other snacks, like hot dogs and grilled cheese. Order online for pickup on Fridays between 4 and 6:30 p.m. (preordering opens on Tuesday evenings.) Curio Wine and Curio Coffee are currently offering takeout only — no dining onsite." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"This small coffee shop in East Cambridge serves great coffee and, perhaps more importantly, excellent made-from-scratch Liege waffles (a brioche-type waffle with lumps of sugar). There are special waffle flavors on weekends as well, like honey jasmine and corn jalapeño cheddar. If you can snag a seat, this could be a good place to do work, but be aware that this place closes at 2pm during the week." - Joel Ang
