The thing to get here is any sandwich you like on French bread pressed. Our favourite is a Cuban sandwich. The French bread is the soft white kind which is exactly what you want for a Cuban - It works well for just about any fillings though too. Next time i want to also try a breakfast sandwich. Montrose Spa is a Mass Ave mainstay. It had been around for as long as I can remember and has nor lost any of its heart, soul and taste. Great spot too if you need some necessities, bread, a drink, some chips, cut fruit etc.

True neighborhood classic. This is where I run for that extra egg, when I’m missing a tomato, when I’m craving a Diet Coke, or when I just want to grab a simple Cuban for lunch. Love them.

I love this place, classic little family-owned Cambridge bodega, best breakfast sandwiches in the zip code. Yes, you will pay a little more for the location. No, theyre not as fast as McDonalds. But you get what you pay for and totally worth the wait. The whole family are sweethearts - ask Tommy for a Cambridge history lesson!

Best Cuban sandwich ever... N Tommy is a great guy...👍

Tommy is a great guy. I worked for him in 1980.

My flavor of delicatessen a lot of heart and soul in the menu choices. Fresh sandwiches top shelf goods all add up to a great place. Neighborhood market feel with a modern touch. El Caribe sandwich struck my cord.

Delicious affordable sandwiches with great staff! A hidden gem. Household items are slightly expensive but hey, you’re supporting local businesses.

One of the most overpriced, under-shelved bodegas I have ever been to. They take 12 minutes to make you a sandwich. They keep their refrigerated food and drinks lukewarm. They charge obscene prices ($6.50 for a bottled Starbucks drink obscene). There is no room to move around.The entire operation seems geared toward fleecing Harvard kids who live in the Quad or go to HLS and dont want to walk to the CVS at the Square (advice: just walk to the CVS at the Square).

The absolute best egg and cheese sandwich i have ever and will ever have!! On a toasted english muffin with perfectly melted white american cheese! Seriously soooo good and Mr. Montrose (as i like to call him) is always friendly and provides great service with a smile!

The staff need to do a better job of enforcing Cambridge no smoking (including vaping) statutes in the outside seating area.

Essentially a bodega, and its the best. Most of the staff are very sweet, and the sandwiches are great. Convenient little shop with lots of great stuff.

The best sandwich shop around! Try The Desperado!The Desperado smoked pepper turkey with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, swiss cheese, tomato & bacon, dressing on fresh dark bread. hot off the grill

Good breakfast sandwiches on french bread. Convenient store is small so be ready for a tight squeeze

A zone 9 icon. The deli sandwiches are top quality, and the service even better.

Conveniently located store that has everything I forgot to get during my normal grocery trips! Also the staff is awesome and the sandwiches and A+!

Very nice and accommodating

I think it is a little expensive. They over charge. Tommy (the owner) is lovely! Local store. Normally have everything! $5 minimum for credit card payments.

This is my first review of any kind any where...Ive been going to Montrose for over a decade and their number has been in my contacts for that long at least. Best Cuban sandwich anywhere hands down. Staff is always friendly. I think Ill order a Cubano now. Mmmm.

Hidden jewel between Harvard and Porter. Get the Cubano!

The sandwiches are good & great value, and its the most convenient place to get small-item groceries because of their longer hours & cheaper prices than Evergood up the street.

Good Sandwiches, plenty of good snacks, and a decent but small selection of produce.

Great food and service

Yep, get the desperado and you wont be disappointed.

Delicious and reasonably priced breakfast sandwiches!

Best sandwiches in Cambridge AND Boston. Wish I lived closer!

Excellent sandwiches every day!

Amazing sandwiches at reasonable prices. Try the Cuban!

Great staff (i.e.: José), a bit expensive.

Good sandwiches, but owner is a Looney tune and rude

Best sandwiches!

Convenient place for necessities

This place is great

Moved to Cambridge for their Desperado sandwich (kind of)

Friendly staff!
