It looks like a California-based coffee roaster is opening another new cafe in the local area, and this one would be on one of Boston's busiest streets.
According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, Blue Bottle Coffee is planning to open on Newbury Street in the Back Bay, moving into a space between Dartmouth Street and Exeter Street. If approved, the new cafe--which would have an outdoor patio--would join others in downtown Boston, at the Prudential Center, and in Cambridge's Harvard Square, along with a new shop in the Kendall Square section of Cambridge [ed note--now open].
The Oakland-based Blue Bottle Coffee is considered to be part of the "third-wave" of specialty coffee shops that focus on high-quality beans.
The address for this new location of Blue Bottle Coffee in the Back Bay is 163 Newbury Street, Boston, MA, 02116. The website for the company is at https://bluebottlecoffee.com/
[December 9 update: According to a press release, Blue Bottle Coffee has opened its Newbury Street shop, with a grand opening expected to take place on December 14; the email also says that on December 21, the new shop will host a special Community Day with all proceeds from sales that day going to Conservation International, a nonprofit environmental organization.]
