Simon's Too Is Moving into Canteen Space in Cambridge

It looks like the owner of a coffee shop between Cambridge's Porter Square and Harvard Square is going to be opening a second location, with this one moving into a space between Harvard Square and Central Square where another restaurant currently resides.

Eater Boston is reporting (via the City of Cambridge website) that Simon's Too is planning to open on Mass. Ave. in the Canteen space. The article mentions that the new shop will have a capacity of 26, with a menu similar to that of the original Simon's further up on Mass. Ave., including soups, sandwiches, and baked goods. It appears that Simon's Too will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week.

It is not yet known when Canteen will be closing, though it will apparently be very soon, as Eater Boston states that the new Simon's Too should be opening next month.

[October 2 update: A new post from Eater Boston indicates that Canteen has closed and that Simon's Too soft-opened a few days ago.]

The address for Simon's Too (and Canteen) is 983 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
