This place has skyrocketed to the top of my NoPa coffee shop hit list. Four Barrel is awesome, natch, but you seriously need to try the Josey Baker toast. Incredible.
Really cool murals on the walls, and some are lined with covers of comic books. Great food and good Mexican hot chocolate.
The newest addition to Shattuck Square area... Great pizza in true Italian style, delicious coffee (Mr. Espresso) and bountiful pastries... this could be dangerous!
This tiny (300 square feet) café has one single square communal table and a constantly changing lunch menu with rustic dishes like fregola salad with root vegetables.

Portland: No coffeeshop represents Portland better than this one. Self-described as "casually threatening," we hear they have moving tables and that the restrooms are a must see! -IFC Viewer
"Good for Work/Study" - 2 Stars, "Food & Service" - 4 Stars. The place has limited seating and is always very busy. It is a challenge to find a good spot to seat. Good food selection.
A cute underground cafe on Newbury. The espresso is always finely crafted, and all of it is organic. The staff is generally knowledgeable about the coffee varieties. The pastries are mediocre.

Good spot for meetings "before" work. Surprising venture capitalists-to-Harvard students ratio.

great for reading, studying or just a conversation. choice of 10 beers on draft and an open bar, The coffee roasting apparatus just adds to the decor.
Seriously the best iced coffee in Boston. Strongest coffee you will find yet it's not acidic. Very distinct favor. Nice and bold. Pricey at $3.75 for medium yet still my daily stop. 5/5
Stellar cappuccino. No computers allowed on the weekends. Just focus on your breakfast!
La Colombe's first location in Boston. Carries a selection of pastries from one of Boston's best: Café Madeleine. Their newest creation, draft latte, is also available.
What a special place. Unlike any of the army of MacBook coffee shops in the City. Coffee is high-grade and artfully brewed. Definitely get a siphon coffee and spend the next 20 mins escaping.
Yes the drinks are great, but the cookies are really amazing. Best I've ever had. Not exaggerating.
Amazing coffee and lattes - espresso. Real professionals in an industrial space offerings classes. This place is up there with any other coffee place in NYC. Cudos to Joe and co.
Cozy teeny-tiny place with some of the best coffee on the UWS, friendly service and truly fabulous donuts in classic and original flavors like lemon poppy, passion fruit, or hibiscus.
Best avocado mash I’ve had on the High Line’s nadir. Takes a few bites but then your tongue is tingling with secret spices and your lips are cooled by lime-treated avocado paste.
Coffee is beyond fantastic. The space is gorgeous, with a ton of natural light and outdoor hang out area. Try the Make Out (their version of a Cortado/Gibraltar.)
Paid WIFI but the happy service and delicious Intelligentsia coffee and menu make up for that. Grab a seat in the front for good people watching and one in the way back for quiet writing.
Love their latte!! Perfectly steamed and not scolding hot like in some other places. Unfortunately no free wifi. My suggestion: get half hour with a purchase.
My favorite cafe in San Francisco's Sunset district! Free wifi, friendly servers, good food, amazing coffee, and beautiful latte art. Loved the lavender latte and Birthday Cake latte, and the toasts.
