FOOD EDITION
NEW INDIE CAFE OPENS ON MILL ROAD Mill Road has welcomed a new Japanese-inspired cafe with a sustainability focus, blending Asian elements with a modern refill shop. Its menu consists of Japanese parents. “I started Imp Cafe because I believe sustainability should be something that we all feel empowered to be a part of, without judgement, guilt or perfection,” said Mathis. “Many people experience
dishes made in a home cooking style for both meat eaters and vegans, with weekly specials, a curated tea bar and intentionally chosen refill items such as snacks and dried foods. The cafe also has initiatives like a 5% discount on drinks for customers who bring their own reusable cups. A family effort, the business is run by Mathis Wong and her
climate anxiety or feel pressured to do everything right, but instead of one person trying to be 100% perfect, 100 people improving by 1% each can have more impact.” Plans for supper clubs, workshops and events are in the pipeline, and Mathis hopes Imp Cafe will be a place where people meet, support each other and feel
inspired to take small, sustainable actions. “With time, I hope there’s a butterfly effect, sparking new ideas, more creativity and maybe even inspiring the next climate innovation to be born here in Cambridge!” she enthused.
