In November, Porter Square Books celebrated the official grand reopening of its Cambridge location — an expanded space 1,000 feet away from the previous shop. At 1815 Massachusetts Ave., the new location inside the Lesley University mall enabled the independent bookstore to expand its shelf capacity and offer more cafe seating. Page & Leaf Cafe makes its debut in the new space. Take a look inside the expanded world of Porter Square Books.


Books are on display in the interior of Porter Square Books.

Inside the bookstore, Page & Leaf is operated by the same team behind Diesel Cafe in Davis Square, Bloc Cafe and Forge Baking Company.

Porter Square Books’ previous partner, Cafe Zing, has retained the original 25 White Street storefront. Peek inside the expanded Cafe Zing as well.

Customers view the Cafe Zing menu on Dec. 1.
