It’s time to wrap up this series on Boston coffee with the new kid on the block.
Pavement Coffeehouse sits in Boston’s Back Bay, just a few blocks from Espresso Royale Caffe’s three locations. In fact, Pavement is the fourth cafe in [...]

No coffee tour of Boston would be complete without a stop by Barismo. Other than Terroir, which doesn’t have a coffee bar of its own, it’s hard to think of a local roaster that’s done as much for Boston area coffee as has Barismo. Barismo has been consistently [...]

Rating: 4-
Earlier this week, the New York Times printed this review of Prime Meats in New York City. What is so striking about the article is that it takes exactly the same tack I started taking when I started writing this [...]

Name: Taste Coffee House
Location: 311 Walnut Street, Newtonville, MA
Roasters: Terroir and various guest coffees
Rating: 3+
Taste Coffee House fully embraces its coffeehouse moniker. Inside you’ll find a casual atmosphere, chalkboard menus, sandwiches and salads, (beer and wine) and a firmly loyal, local crowd. Taste lacks the slick sense of interior design that these days is so often [...]

Name: Cafe Fixe
Location: 1642 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA
Roasters: Barrington Coffee Roasters and Guest Roaster
Rating: 4-
Cafe Fixe deserves more than it’s about to get in this review given their commitment to well-prepared coffee and a decent array of brewing options, but there are times when my brain simply grows weary of writing clever descriptions of cafes [...]

Name: Sip Cafe
Location: Zero Post Office Square, Boston, MA
Roasters: Terroir and Rotating Guest Roaster
Rating: 4-
One place I’d suggest you go for coffee in Boston is Sip, a greenhouse-like structure, situated downtown, at the southern end of Post Office Square Park. If you’re like I was, you may be suspicious. After all, cafes that set themselves up [...]

Name: Crema Cafe
Roaster: Terroir Coffee
Location: 27 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA
Rating: 3+
Try not to confuse Crema Cafe in Cambridge with Crema Bakery in Portland, Coffee and Crema in South Carolina, or Crema Coffee Bar in Oakland (the cafe that used to occupy Modern Coffee‘s current location). This Crema, situated on Harvard Square, is rumored to serve the staff of Car [...]

Name: Simon’s Coffee Shop
Location: 1736 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA
Roasters: Barismo and Terroir
Rating: 3
Simon’s Coffee Shop isn’t too far from Diesel or 1369 when it comes to cafe classifications. Inside is a nice version of your standard coffeehouse with worn wooden floors, a pressed tin ceiling, slightly touched up original architectural features, and chalkboard menus. The marble-topped [...]
