Tired of going to Starbucks to do work, only to stand in line for hours, get yelled at by an overworked barista, and compete for Wifi? Honestly, same. Sometimes I need a break from studying at Mugar or the George Sherman Union (GSU), and that quest for study space has led me into the front doors of countless coffee shops around Boston. Read on to find your own quiet space \u2013 and favorite cup of coffee \u2013 at some shops near BU.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Nero \u2013 With three hours of free Wifi, ample table space, and warm lighting, Caf\u00e9 Nero\u2019s soothing interior is the perfect place to chill and focus. Your coffee is made right in front of you, so customers can expect quiet baristas who won\u2019t be yelling out names or orders. With its close proximity to West Campus (literally right under 1047 Commonwealth), this convenient spot can\u2019t be beat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Thinking Cup \u2013 If you\u2019re looking to venture off campus, try stopping by the Thinking Cup. Located on Newbury Street, this caf\u00e9 is perfect for East Campus folks. The Thinking Cup\u2019s coffee drinks and exotic food options make it a perfect spot to snack and study. Even better, you will avoid harsh lighting, since the caf\u00e9\u2019s interior is dimly lit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pavement \u2013 Trying to work on a team project? Find a whole room dedicated to seating at Pavement. Work with your partners for hours, and even grab a sandwich or slice of pastry while you\u2019re there. Pavement bakes its own bread daily, and many ingredients from its its menu are locally sourced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blue State \u2013 Blue State is ideal for West Campus students who are tired of studying in the basement of Claflin or the top floor of Stuvi 2. With an Americana-meets-social-justice feel, Blue State is perfect for doing good and eating well while you study. Each drink order comes with a token to vote for a local charity Blue State will donate a portion of its proceeds to. My favorite is the \u201cchaider\u201d \u2013 a yummy mix of chai and apple cider that will leave you feeling festive and ready to focus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you eat healthy or prefer a decadent treat, Trident has it all, along with novelty drink options. The Trident caf\u00e9 is snuggled between their stacks of bookshelves and cute gift items. Finish your studying, then take a browse \u2013 reading for pleasure is the perfect way to relax. <\/span><\/p>\n
