You want coffee, but your mate wants ice cream. No problem. Head over to one of the numerous J.P. Licks in and around the Boston area.

Look no further, Render stands out as one of the top coffee companies in Boston.

Bloc Café is serious about their coffee...

Tradesman serves coffee from Barrington Roaster, a prolific roaster you will find in a number of cafés around New England.

Curio Coffee, a quaint, low-lit neighborhood café in Cambridge. Curio provides a few tables and a mini-bar to order from a menu of every-changing waffle flavors.

One of my favorite cafés in the Boston area is located right in the heart of Brookline.
