Last fall, it was reported that a group of cafes in Cambridge would be shutting down all of its locations, and now we have learned that a worker-owned cafe is slated to open in one of the spaces.
According to an article from The Harvard Crimson, Circus Co-op is looking to open in the space on Cambridge Street that had been home to an outlet of Darwin's--and a group of ex-Darwin's employees are behind it. The post mentions that the cafe will likely offer breakfast sandwiches and coffee, and that the hope is for it to also become a community space, possibly being a place for study sessions and poetry nights.
Darwin's closed its original location in Harvard Square in November, with the Cambridge Street shop shutting down the following month along with outlets on Putnam Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue.
The address for the upcoming Circus Co-op is 1629 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
