Located right by the Tufts University campus, The Danish Pastry House is a pretty minimalistic coffee shop that is quite popular amongst people in the area.  This coffee shop is one of the places I consider people sacrificing coffee for food.  The coffee is not bad, it just is not anything outstanding.  The lattes are good and coffee pretty mediocre.  On the other hand, the scones and crepes are very delicious.  It is a nice spot to go back to every once in a while to meet up with a friend.
