The Square Root
2 Corinth St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Roslindale, The Square Root is a neighborhood gathering spot that doubles as an intimate live music venue, hosting jazz evenings every other Sunday in a cozy, well-ventilated space with genuinely good acoustics. Beyond the espresso-focused coffee and hearty breakfast sandwiches served in those beloved oversized mugs, what really anchors this place is its community spirit—locals come for work sessions, conversations, and the sense that they're part of something that makes their neighborhood feel like home.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late.

Good breakfast sandwiches, huge coffee mugs, very nice atmosphere and community vibe.
