Specialty Coffee in Boston

Boston Coffee Culture

Boston definitely feels like a small town in a big city’s skin. The interesting downtown is packed full of history, and sure, the city and its community extends well beyond its official borders to occupy a significantly larger footprint, but that just highlights the idea that Boston might be more of an identity than a place. And I’m here for it. Now coffee in Boston is its own story entirely. While one of the many reasons Boston is famous is of course the Boston Tea Party and that might lead you to believe that it is a tea town, it absolutely holds its own in the specialty coffee scene as well. I have not yet had the chance to try every coffee shop that I have on my Boston coffee list, but what I have tried is excellent, creative and worth a deviation from your normal coffee order.

Best Pour Over Coffee Shops in Boston

Render Coffee

Render Coffee has a number of locations in the Boston area and any of them are worth the visit, but my personal favorite is this downtown location, right in the heart of the city. Take a break from business meetings (or reserve the meeting room they have and get your fill of great coffee all day), tourist around downtown or drop in for a relaxing moment with coffee on a comfy couch. Their pour over coffee is excellent and for something more unique, try the delicious malted cold brew. It was a first for me and absolutely worth it.

What to order: Pour over, Malted cold brew
