Diesel Cafe is an old garage-turned-coffee-shop with a very rustic vibe. Besides in the very early hours of the morning (6 AM-7:30 AM), Diesel is almost always packed. The usual crowd is Tufts University students or adults on a coffee break. The vibe of this coffee shop is perfect for hanging out with friends. Unfortunately,…

Pie in the Sky- Woods Hole, MA
Pie in the Sky is a classic place for people in the Falmouth/Woods Hole area to go for a cup of joe or a snack. The first thing I notice every time I walk in (besides the long line) is the coffee roaster in the middle of the inside part of the cafe. Pie in…
Mariposa Bakery-Central Square, Cambridge, MA
Mariposa is one of the more simple coffee shops I have been to. Right after walking in the rustic feel calmed me down. The colors in this shop are dark contributing to the tranquil atmosphere of Mariposa. Most of the people there were meeting friends to catch up or grabbing coffee before work. I was…

Tatte Bakery-Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA
When it comes to Tatte’s coffee, I may be a little biased since I am a huge fan of Stumptown Roasters, which is served at this bakery. The latte has smooth foam and bold espresso which was comforting on the cold snowy day I first went to Tatte. Unfortunately, the iced coffee is pretty mediocre…
4A Coffee-Brookline, MA
After a pretty dull morning, my trip to 4A Coffee brightened my day. I first tried a cafe au lait. The first sip made my eyes widen. The drink was suave and tasty and made me want more. Next I tried a latte, which had a strong, but sweet espresso taste and was perfectly balanced…
Bourbon Coffee- Porter Square, Cambridge, MA
Bourbon Coffee, connected to Lesley University in Cambridge, has the feel of a Starbucks with slightly better coffee. The drinks are nothing special, but if you are in the area and need caffeine it’ll do the trick. This coffee shop seemed to be mostly college students or older people reading or studying. The espresso was…

Right as I walked into 1369 Coffee House, I fell in love with this quaint shop. The Central Square location had indoor and outdoor seating.

Karma Coffee Roasters- Sudbury, MA
This hole in the wall is primarily a roasting location for Karma Coffee, but also has an espresso bar. Although there is some seating, this location is very dark and not conducive to any reading. This place is more of a shop to take your coffee to go. The espresso has a surprisingly strong chocolatey…

Right on the corner of Edgehill Village, Edgehill Cafe is the perfect place to chill. Most people there are studying or meeting up with friends. Only a few roads down from Music Row, many aspiring musicians grab a cup of coffee at this popular spot. This shop has a rustic feel, but is still quite…
Darwin’s- Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA
Both locations, hidden just outside the center of Harvard Square, are known for their coffee and sandwiches. Despite the fact that there is a considerable amount of seating, the constant flow of customers causes difficulty in finding a spot to sit. The coffee and espresso is very strong and bold. For those who need an extra…
Barismo- Arlington, MA
Many people who think they know a lot about coffee stand corrected once they come to Barismo. This tiny shop is also a roasting location for Barismo Coffee, which sells their products to other coffee shops in Massachusetts. There is very little seating and the wait for coffee can be long, but it is worth…
