First Street Market will be a multi-purpose space unique not only to the neighborhood but in all of Cambridge. Combining a weekly indoor farmers market with a Mediterranean-inspired café, functional demonstration bar, and coworking space, First Street Market will be the epicenter of commerce, events, and community in the rapidly growing First Street neighborhood. With the farmers’ market operating year-round in a multi-use event space in the center of the floorplan, First Street Market will become a destination for city events, weddings, and private parties, regularly attracting new foot traffic.

Within the confines of the First Street Market, Amba emerges as a Mediterranean-inspired café. It boasts an array of offerings, including rotisserie chicken, delectable pastries crafted by Chef Brian Mercury, and farm-fresh delicacies. Complementing these culinary delights is a carefully curated beverage program featuring La Colombe coffee alongside various wines, beers, and cocktails. Taking its name from a sauce that started in India and made its way through the Middle East, Amba celebrates the diverse flavors of the Mediterranean region, spanning from the eastern shores to the Atlantic coast. The centerpiece of Amba’s menu is its expertly spiced rotisserie chicken, served with an array of condiments and sides to tantalize patrons’; taste buds. Amba adopts a counter service model, providing guests with numerous ordering options. Whether picking up their selections or placing orders through delivery services, patrons can seamlessly indulge in Amba’s culinary offerings at their convenience.
