Blue Bottle Coffee - Newbury Street
163 Newbury St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“This Boston outpost of the West Coast specialty roaster draws devoted fans with expertly pulled espresso and silky lattes, though the intimate Newbury Street location trades cozy vibrancy for a quieter, more understated vibe that works beautifully if you're seeking focus over lingering. Fair warning: prices lean premium and seating is tight, but if you catch the staff on a good day and the espresso machine dialed in, you'll understand why people seek out Blue Bottle locations across the country.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Laptop-friendly spot.
