The Boston Globe is reporting that Blue State Coffee and Cosi are planning to open at Seaport Place in the Seaport District, with the two spots possibly opening along Seaport Boulevard by the end of the year. Blue State Coffee, which is headquartered in Providence, features organic, fairly-traded coffee and seasonal food items while Cosi, which is based in Deerfield, focuses mainly on soups, salads, and sandwiches. Blue State has one location in Boston (by BU), while Cosi has several in the city, including one at South Station.
[April 2, 2014 update: Based on a Licensing Hearing page within the City of Boston website, the address for the upcoming Blue State Coffee in the Seaport District has been confirmed as 155 Seaport Boulevard, which is indeed where Seaport Place is located. The hearing, which will look into its request for a common victualler license, will take place on Wednesday, April 9.]
