Blue State Coffee Opening Near Boston University

A Providence-based coffee shop with four locations in Rhode Island and Connecticut is getting ready to open a fifth shop, with this one being in Boston.

According to the CityRetail blog and Grub Street Boston, Blue State Coffee is going to be opening its first location in the Boston area. CityRetail mentions that the shop will be located on Commonwealth Avenue, near Boston University and just east of Allston.

Blue State Coffee is a "green" company that features organic, fairly traded coffee, donates a portion of sales to various causes, and operates a zero-waste business, according to their website. Coffees available include several blends as well as hazelnut, French roast, and decaf.

[October 21 update: Blue State Coffee is now open on Comm. Ave. in Boston. Thanks to a poster on Chowhound for letting us know of its opening,]

The address for this new coffee shop in Boston is: Blue State Coffee, 957 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215. The website for the company is at: http://catalog.bluestatecoffee.com/
