Hello, fellow COM student!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

True fans will remember that one year ago, I posted my list of favorite brunch spots in Boston. While I don\u2019t have time to eat as much brunch these days, I still make time for coffee. As a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur, I\u2019ve been to my fair share of Boston coffee shops. The best thing about going out for coffee is that it can be as productive (or not) as you want it to be. In typically Hali fashion, here is a list of the best coffeeshops to spend an entire Sunday<\/span><\/span> afternoon writing that WR150 paper that\u2019s due next week!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tatte<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fool yourself and assume that my list is in no particular order. Well, after this one, it is in no particular order. But Tatte belongs at the top. Why, you ask? It\u2019s because, in short, Tatte Cafe and Bakery is my happy place. Where else can you get the most caffeinated cold brew you\u2019ve ever had and pair it with a pastry, a sandwich, or – if you\u2019re feeling crazy – CHEESECAKE? I would like to point out a few things that make Tatte the best coffee shop around. First, you have a million options. Tatte just opened brand new locations in Back Bay and Fenway, and they\u2019re located in just about every other neighborhood of Boston and Cambridge as well. Second, there is nothing in the world that\u2019s better than Tatte\u2019s almond croissant. Trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Barrington Coffee Roasting Company<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Talk about a cool, calm, collected aesthetic, am I right? This one\u2019s a little out of the way, but hey! If it\u2019s the weekend, you were probably going to Newbury Street anyway, right? Make a quick stop here between all the shopping to get a little work done. Barrington makes my list because while all of these coffee shops have great vibes, Barrington probably has the best actual coffee. Drink up, and study up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pavement<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be completely honest, I am listing Pavement out of sheer obligation! Just kidding, kind of. I am actually listing Pavement because if I go one week without a Sunrise on a multigrain everything bagel, I suffer from serious withdrawal symptoms! All jokes aside, Pavement is one of the best coffee shops in Boston, and their location is so convenient for BU students. PRO-TIP<\/b>: the Fenway location (located on Boylston) is 100% the superior Pavement! It\u2019s only a five minute walk from the one on campus, and it\u2019s worth the extra steps to have a better chance of finding a table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blue State<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Blue State will always have a place in my heart. I will always associate remember it as the closest place to my freshman year dorm in Claflin Hall where I could actually get good coffee. Blue State makes my list because of their expansive menu. From cold brew to tea to smoothies, they\u2019ve got it all.\u00a0They’re also open until 10 PM<\/span><\/span>, so stay as late as you’d like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep my list short to make your coffee-shop decision easier. If you\u2019d like a more extensive selection, feel free to give me a call. Next time you\u2019re craving something a little more chic than your caramel iced coffee from Dunkin, give one of these spots a try!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
