A new dining and drinking spot is on its way to Cambridge, taking over the space where a Brazilian restaurant and an Italian comfort food spot had both been.
According to a tweet from @JeremyKrantz, Zuzu's Petals is planning to open in Inman Square in the Hampshire Street space that had briefly been home to Tapiocarias House of Flavors, and before that, City Girl Cafe. Jeremy tells us that this will be a "natural wine bar + dessert concept" that could be opening in approximately six weeks, while an earlier Cambridge Day article mentions that it will have seating for 19.
The people behind Zuzu's Petals are Alexandra Whisnant of Gâté Comme Des Filles, a chocolate shop at Somerville's Bow Market, and Robert MacLean, Jr. of Picnic & Pantry, a food market that also resides at Bow Market.
The address for Zuzu's Petals is 204 Hampshire Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. Its website can be found at https://www.zuzuspetalscambridge.com/
[July 29 update: According to an article from Eater Boston, Zuzu's Petals is now open, though it is only open Friday and Saturday evenings for the next few weeks, while the post also mentions that the spot is a cellphone-free zone; in the article, MacLean says, "We don't like cellphones....We think they're ruining culture." (MacLean and Whisnant have both ditched their cellphones.)]
