Fast food, Harvard style. Fresh sandwiches ($4-6) such as Smoked Turkey and Roast Chicken are served up to a mix of busy tourists and undergrads relaxing in the Yard. C'est Bon rounds out its quality array of caffeinated products, like cappuccino, latte, and delicious hot chocolate, with a wide selection of baked goods ($1-4). And it's Lebanese owned and run, so try one of their many Middle Eastern sandwiches or wraps; the falafel is particularly good.

Template:Convenience Store C'est Bon Convenience, an offshoot of the popular bakery and sandwich shop chain, offers all the snack and drink essentials without the sketchiness of its predecessor. When Brain Break is less than stellar, head to C'est Bon for candy, chips, sandwiches, or a pint of your favorite ice cream. And when the weekend rolls around, or if you need to drink away the pain of a really bad Brain Break, check out their ample stock of affordable wines and beers, including beer balls. Harvard ID-holders rejoice—Crimson Cash is now accepted for all purchases, except alcohol. Mom and Dad may pay for those late-night munchies, but you're on your own for the 40s that inspire them.

This CVS in Harvard Square is great. If you suddenly notice your roommates avoiding you, perhaps it's time to step away from the PlayStation and make a trip to CVS for the Square's widest array of toiletries and hygiene items, from shampoo to eye care to skin products. The 2-story Mass. Ave. store is significantly larger and offers an extensive refrigerated aisle (check out the microwave meals), a massive pharmacy, and a hardware section complete with duct tape and hammers. For late night medical emergencies, the Porter CVS is the closest 24hr pharmacy to the Square. Both stores have film developing: at the Harvard Square stores $10 for 3” prints from a 24 exp. roll; at the Porter Square store overnight or standard Kodak developing costs $9/24 exp., $13/36 exp. The photo center at the Harvard Square/Massachusetts Ave. location also provides passport photos ($12/4 photos). A free CVS Care card grants savings on storebrand items, as well as pharmacy and off-the-shelf medical products.

Template:Cellular Store Located right next to the Yard, T-mobile provides another cellular option, though few rave about their coverage. It may showcase the US's largest GSM network (Global Systems for Mobiles, the international standard for mobile technology), but unfortunately the signals aren't the clearest or most reliable around Boston. All brands of phones offered; 600 nationwide anytime minutes go for a reasonable $40. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.
