In Boston, make sure to stop at:

- Bloc 11 (Union Sq., Somerville) and Diesel Cafe (Davis Sq., Somerville), both owned by the same folks.

- Espresso Royale Cafe has a couple of different shops in Boston, and some of their folks are on BX, so I'll let them say more.

- 1369 Coffee House, one shop in Inman Sq. and one in Central Sq. (Cambridge). I work in Central Sq., so let me know when you're around!

- Simon's Coffee Shop (Porter Sq., Cambridge) is highly spoken of by almost everyone.

Cambridge/Somerville is extremely walkable, so you could spend half a day just walking between all these places and get to see a lot of the area.

Everyman Espresso, it's in the lobby of a theatre company. They have a Synesso and know what to do with it.
136 East 13th St (between 3rd and 4th)
The barista was actually friendly too, got more than a grunt from him

Oh yeah, also try Root Hill Cafe in Brooklyn it's at Union St on the M and R. I had an awesome shot of Counter Culture's 5 Country Espresso. Also, they have dope breakfast burritos and a really pleasant Yohoo Latte, if you're feeling crazy.
