Boston Magazine is reporting that Caffe Nero plans to open a new location at Assembly Row, with its opening being a part of Phase 2 of construction which will also bring such places as Zo, Waxy O'Connor's, Mike's Pastry, Lucky Strike, and more. Once it opens this fall, the new shop will join a number of others in the Greater Boston area, including in Downtown Crossing, the South End, Fort Point, Longwood, Jamaica Plain, Brookline, Cambridge's Central Square, Andover, and Wellesley.
