The future of the sole Boston-area location of a small group of espresso spots seems to be unknown right now.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Stacks Espresso Bar in Newton Highlands appears to be closed for good, though a check on the website for the business seems to give conflicting information, with one page showing only the Lark Street outlet in Albany while another page shows both Lark Street and Broadway locations in Albany and another in Troy along with the Newton Highlands shop. Phone calls to the Walnut Street store are not able to go through, and a message sent to the company last week has not yet been answered, so stay tuned for any updates as they come in.
A Facebook page from the business does mention that the Troy and Newton Highlands outlets of Stacks Espresso Bar were closed for the foreseeable future as of March 19, while the two Albany shops were said to remain open at the time.
The address for the Newton Highlands location of Stacks Espresso Bar is 1169 Walnut Street, Newton Highlands, MA, 02461.
[July 31 update: A poster within Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants seems to indicate that Stacks in Newton Highlands has closed for good, as there are now "For Lease" signs in the windows.]
