items My world does not spin without coffee, so naturally I have spent a lot of time and money in various coffeeshops. Here's my shortlist of the best ones around Boston.

Back Bay / South End
A great cup of coffee, yummy breakfast options, and a warm interior - the perfect everyday spot. It's also dog friendly and has an outdoor space!
Farmers Horse Coffee
With multiple locations around Boston, Flour is a must visit. While their coffee and drink options are special, their pastries and food are the real star of the show. I think about their breakfast sandwiches and sweet treats often.
Flour
Another spot with multiple locations. Their coffee is good and they have fun seasonal beverages. I personally love their rosemary sea salt bagel with diablo cream cheese - that's what really gets me out of bed.
Pavement Coffeehouse - Newbury
Cafe and walk up to go window with so much south end charm. My favorite stop on a long walk with friends. Get there early for their baked goods and breakfast items!
Greystone Cafe, Bakery, and Provisions
Somerville / Cambridge
coffee across the charles
One of my favorites - this no laptop cafe is a vibe day and night. During the day they serve up delicious coffee and pastries and at night they serve wine. In the warmer months, the outdoor patio can only be compared to a quaint European sidewalk. A ...
Faro Café
Similar to Faro - this cafe does both. Coffee and pastries in the daytime, wine and music at night. Their live jazz is to die for. It's a perfect cozy spot.

Brookline
just outside of Boston, Brookline’s best!
Brookline sadly lacks good coffee spots, but they certainly don't lack good bagels. Kupel's is a go to for bagels BUT they also have really large to go cups of coffee. That's important to me.
Kupel's Bakery
A must visit for their fresh bread, but their next door cafe and shop is well worth the visit too!
Clear Flour Bread
Hands down my favorite Brookline coffee spot. It's incredibly cozy inside and the coffee is wonderful. Plus the ice cream?!? Yup.
Brothers & Sisters Co.
The North End / Downtown
our own little italy / the garden and city hall
This is hands down my favorite spot. The only downside is that it’s cash only, otherwise no notes. It’s the best cappuccino you’ll ever have, their house wine is so yummy, and they have a full bar plus delicious treats. It feels so much like Italy.
Caffe Vittoria
another north end classic, caffe paradiso has all the Italian charm. I love getting gelato here and they make a great Negroni. I know this is all supposed to be about coffee, they do that too!
