"The Tremont St. Thinking Cup location has a classic feel and is surprisingly spacious. Pop in if you're walking around the Common."

"Hot spot that serves Stumptown coffee, with an assortment of sandwiches and baked goods."

"George Howell provides some of the finest specialty coffee, supporting farmers and paying close attention to every step of the production process. Great outreach and education too."

"I'm glad Intelligentsia has finally arrived in Boston. The Watertown coffeebar is a really cool space fully stocked with all the best Intelligentsia goods."

"There is a surprising dearth of specialty coffee in Harvard Square, so this Blue Bottle location is a welcome addition. Enjoy one of the excellent made-to-order drinks in a bright, harmonious space."

"This is a great little coffee shop that serves Counter Culture beans. They have the best batch drip coffee in the city, with free refills! Chow down on a liege waffle if you get hungry."
