Harvard Square’s Café Pamplona is inspiration for coffee shop and bookstore around the corner

Café Pamplona, which closed in May 2020 after six decades in Harvard Square, is inspiring another business around the corner: Faro Café at 5 Arrow St., which owner Henry Hoffstot hopes to have open in late June or early July.

The coffee shop and bookstore revolves around community, climate change and climate justice, Hoffstot told license commissioners Thursday.
