Map My Location
Flour Bakery & Cafe
1595 Washington St Boston, MA 02118
617-267-4300
Thanks to some chef-celebrity cachet from Bobby Flay, the sticky buns here have landed Flour on the foodie map—so don’t be surprised if they’re out of the sweet, sticky treats if you arrive. The brioche buns, sandwiches and tartlets also make tracking this hidden bakery down, and its coffee makes the perfect accompaniment to all the sugar. Open: Mon-Fri 7a-9p; Sat 8a-6p; Sun 9a-3p
Caffe Vittoria
296 Hanover St Boston, MA 02113
617-227-7606
So you can’t afford to undertake your own “Eat, Pray, Love,” pilgrimage to Italy. Go to Caffe Vittoria instead, whose old-fashioned espresso machines, charming waiters, delicious tiramisu and glasses of Campari will make you feel as if you’ve hopped the pond to the boot. Just bring cash. 6 AM to Midnight everyday
Uptown Espresso
563 Columbus Ave Boston, MA 02118
617-236-8535
If the low-key vibe, free wireless and huge choice of beverages, hot and cold, at Uptown, don’t covert Dunkin’ and Starbucks addicts to this South End hangout, then Faye, the über-friendly owner, will. Those who wish to venture beyond Turkish coffee, Harney’s teas and heavenly hot chocolate should try the chicken salad sandwich. Open Mon-Thu 7am-7pm; Fri 7am-6pm; Weekends 8am-7pm
1369 Coffee House
757 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02139
617-576-4600
At 1369, you’ll see lots of regulars, who swear there’s no finer place in Boston for chilling with their favorite caffeinated (or not) beverage. In addition to their tasty beans and teas and well-crafted lattes, you’ll find house-made salads, soups and sandwiches and the work of local artists on display. Open: Mon-Fri 7a-11p; Sat 8a-11p; Sun 8a-10p
Francesca's Espresso Bar
564 Tremont St Boston, MA 02118
617-482-9026
Come here for the coffee, which somehow balances everything you’d ever want out of a cup of joe—including a leisurely atmosphere in which to enjoy it. The baristas are cool, the food items fresh and the location convenient to South End escapades. Mon-Thu 8am-11pm; Fri-Sat 8am-12am; Sun 9am-11pm
Berkeley Perk Cafe
69 Berkeley St Boston, MA 02116
617-426-7375
The Berkeley Perk is the girl-next-door of coffeehouses, long unnoticed and then all of a sudden, a pretty appealing option. Along the standard array of coffee drinks (including a great chai) served in real mugs, you’ll find tasty pastries, decent sandwiches and a cute atmosphere for reading the paper or pecking away at a laptop. Open: Mon-Fri 630a-5p; Sat 8a-5p; Sun 8a-12p
