Blue Bottle Coffee Is Reopening Its Harvard Square Location

A Cambridge location of a San Francisco-based coffee roaster that appeared to shut down permanently last spring is opening back up.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Blue Bottle Coffee in Harvard Square is reopening, with a Crimson article stating that a flyer is up in the window of the Bow Street storefront saying that "We are training! Excited to welcome you back on October 31, 2021!" The Harvard Square location of the chain was removed from the company website around late May or early June of 2020, with its windows being papered over (the Crimson says that it officially closed on May 30); a check on its website now shows that the Cambridge outlet is back up and it says "temporarily closed."

Other locations of Blue Bottle Coffee can be found locally in Boston's Back Bay (2), Cambridge's Kendall Square, and Chestnut Hill.

The address for Blue Bottle Coffee in Harvard Square is 40 Bow Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138. The website for the company is at https://bluebottlecoffee.com/

[November 10 update: Based on its website, the Harvard Square location of Blue Bottle Coffee is now open.]

Blue Bottle Coffee in Cambridge's Harvard Square Has Apparently Closed

A Boston-area location of a San Francisco-based coffee roaster appears to have shut down.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Blue Bottle Coffee in the Harvard Square section of Cambridge is locked up and dark and with paper on the windows, while a check on the company website shows that the Bow Street location has indeed been removed. It appears that other local outlets remain in operation, including in Boston's Back Bay (2), Cambridge's Kendall Square, and Chestnut Hill.

The Harvard Square location of Blue Bottle Coffee first opened in early 2018.

The address for the now-closed outlet of Blue Bottle Coffee in Harvard Square was 40 Bow Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138. The website for the company can be found at https://bluebottlecoffee.com/

Mystic Coffee Roaster in Medford to Close Its Cafe; Wholesale Business to Remain in Operation

A neighborhood coffeehouse in the northern suburbs of Boston is getting ready to shut down, though the business itself will remain in operation.

According to several sources, including posters on the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Mystic Coffee Roaster in Medford is planning to close its retail shop, with a Facebook post from the Riverside Avenue spot saying the following:

I have a bittersweet announcement to make. First, the bitter: Unfortunately, Mystic Coffee Roaster will cease to exist as a café by December 24. This has been extremely difficult due to the pandemic. All restaurants are suffering, and for us, the decrease in foot traffic and sales has been unsurmountable....Now for the sweet: Mystic Coffee Roaster as a coffee roastery will continue. I’m going to focus on my true passion of coffee roasting and will continue to service our wholesale customers, contract roasting customers, mail order customers, and other avenues yet to be discovered....For the short term, I plan to be open for a few days/week to sell retail bags of coffee (hours to be determined), but the long term plan is to line up some other local businesses that would sell and/or serve our coffee. I may have an exciting announcement on that front very soon.

Mystic Coffee Roaster, which first opened approximately 10 years ago, offers such items as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, smoothies, croissants, bagels, scones, cookies, and sandwiches at its shop, which has only been open for takeout during the pandemic.

The address for Mystic Coffee Roaster is 30 Riverside Avenue, Medford, MA, 02155. Its website can be found at https://mystic-coffee-online.square.site/

Peet's Coffee in Sudbury Has Closed

A California-based coffee roaster and retailer has closed yet another shop in the Greater Boston area, leaving only three outlets remaining in the region.

The closing of the Route 20 shop means that the only locations left locally are in Cambridge, Lexington, and Wellesley, as several others have shut down over the past few years, including in Boston's Beacon Hill and the North End along with Brookline, Chestnut Hill, and Newton Centre.

The address for the now-closed Peet's in Sudbury was 534 Boston Post Road (Route 20), Sudbury, MA, 01776. The website for the company is at https://www.peets.com/

Blue Bottle Coffee Is Opening at The Street Chestnut Hill

It looks like a California-based coffee roaster is opening another new outlet in the Greater Boston area, and this one would be coming to a development a few miles west of the city.

A message sent by Leah Klein of City Living Boston indicates that Blue Bottle Coffee is planning to open at The Street Chestnut Hill, with a picture showing signage up at a storefront there along with a "Coming Soon" sign. Once it opens, the new location would join other cafes from the company in downtown Boston, the Back Bay, the Prudential Center, and Harvard Square and Kendall Square in Cambridge.

For Five Coffee Roasters to Open Cafe in Downtown Boston

A New York-based coffee roaster that also includes a small group of cafes will be expanding to Boston, opening a shop in the heart of the city.

Eater Boston is reporting (via the Boston Business Journal) that For Five Coffee Roasters is planning to open on State Street next to Faneuil Hall, with the cafe offering coffee, salads, sandwiches, and pastries. The BBJ also says that this may be the first of multiple Boston locations, though for now, this is apparently the only one that is definitely in the works. If all goes as planned, the new location of For Five Coffee Roasters could be opening this fall.

For Five Coffee Roasters got its start in 2010 in Queens and initially was set up as just a wholesaler that sold its roasted beans to restaurants and other businesses before opening its first retail shop in Manhattan in 2016. A handful of locations can now be found in the New York City area and in Chicago and Los Angeles.

The address for the upcoming location of For Five Coffee Roasters in downtown Boston is 200 State Street, Boston, MA, 02109. The website for the business is at http://forfivecoffee.com/

by Marc Hurwitz

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.

Peet's Coffee & Tea in Brookline's Coolidge Corner Is Closing

by Marc Hurwitz

Earlier today, we reported that a Boston location of a coffee chain was getting ready to close, and now we have learned that another location in the Boston area will be shutting down that day as well.

According to an article in the Patch, Peet's Coffee & Tea in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline is closing on January 25, with the Harvard Street spot having a similar sign to that of the Charles Street location in Beacon Hill, referring customers to Peet's at Capital One on Boylston Street in Boston and a location of Peet's in Cambridge's Harvard Square. (The sign at the Beacon Hill shop referred patrons to the Peet's within Capital One banks on both Boylston Street and Tremont Street in Boston.) It appears that other locations of the chain in Lexington, Sudbury, and Wellesley will remain in operation, though if this changes, we will post an update here.

The address for Peet's in Coolidge Corner is 285 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA, 02446. The website for the chain is at http://www.peets.com/

A coffee shop in Boston that was shut down for a few weeks last summer appears to be closing for good this time.

Update: Peet's Coffee & Tea in Beacon Hill Reopens After Being Closed by the City of Boston

by Marc Hurwitz

[Ed note: This article was updated on August 11 to reflect the fact that the place is open once again.]

A California-based coffee roaster and retailer that closed two of its Boston area locations last month has reopened a third that shut down during the same time period.

According to a source, Twitter, Peet's Coffee & Tea in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston is open once again as of August 10, nearly a month after three sources, including a poster on Twitter, reported that it had shuttered around July 12 or 13, with all three sending pictures of a sign out front that said "Closed by order of Licensing Board for the City of Boston." This happened on the final day for two other locations of Peet's--one in the North End and another in Newton Centre. In addition, another sign on July 15 went up in the window of the Charles Street shop, saying that "We're working on getting this misunderstanding resolved as quickly as possible with the city so we can pick back up as soon as possible."

Other shops in Brookline, Cambridge, Chestnut Hill, Lexington, and Wellesley remain in operation.

The address for Peet's in Beacon Hill is 66 Charles Street, Boston, MA, 02114. The website for Peet's can be found at http://www.peets.com/

Peet's Coffee & Tea in Boston's North End Is Closing

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like another Boston-area location of a California-based coffee roaster and retailer will be closing this week.

According to an article from northendwaterfront.com, Peet's Coffee & Tea in the North End of Boston is closing on Friday, July 13, which is the same day that a location in Newton Centre is shutting down. It appears that shops in Beacon Hill, Brookline, Cambridge, Chestnut Hill, Lexington, and Wellesley will remain in operation, though if this changes, we will post an update here.

Peet's first opened at the corner of Salem Street and Cross Street at the end of 2015 in the old Goody Glover's space.

The address for this soon-to-close coffee shop in the North End is: Peet's Coffee & Tea, 50 Salem Street, Boston, MA, 02113. The website for Peet's can be found at http://www.peets.com/

Peet's Coffee & Tea in Newton Centre Is Closing

by Marc Hurwitz

A California-based coffee roaster and retailer with a handful of locations in the Greater Boston area is getting ready to shut down one of its shops.

According to an article in the Newton TAB, Peet's Coffee & Tea in Newton Centre is closing on July 13 after nearly 20 years in business, with reps telling building owner Fred Margolis that even though they had approximately a year and a half left on the lease, they could not afford to stay open as the Beacon Street store was losing money. It is not yet known what might move into the space, and rumors of a bank going in are premature, as Margolis says that no decision has been made on the space as of yet.

Peet's Coffee & Tea has other locations in Boston (Beacon Hill and North End), Brookline, Cambridge, Chestnut Hill, Lexington, and Wellesley.

The address for this soon-to-close coffee shop in Newton Centre is: Peet's Coffee & Tea, 776 Beacon Street, Newton Centre, MA, 02459. The website for Peet's is at http://www.peets.com/

Intelligentsia Coffee Is Opening in Boston's Financial District

by Marc Hurwitz

A Chicago-based coffee roaster that opened its first Boston-area shop last summer is opening a second outlet in the region, and this one will be in the heart of downtown Boston.

Eater Boston is reporting that Intelligentsia Coffee is planning to open in Post Office Square within the city's Financial District, with the Franklin Street shop joining another on Mt. Auburn Street in Watertown which debuted in July of 2017. The article says that the new location of Intelligentsia, which is majority-owned by California-based Peet's Coffee & Tea, will be the first to offer nitro cold coffee and it will look quite a bit different from the Watertown location, with that location being in a standalone building and including a retail shop as well as a coffee training lab and sales office.

If all goes as planned, the new location of Intelligentsia Coffee could be opening sometime this summer.

The address for this new coffee bar in the Financial District is: Intelligentsia Coffee, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, MA, 02110. Its website can be found at http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/

[August 14 update: Boston Magazine mentions that the new location of Intelligentsia Coffee opens this Friday (August 17).]

Blue Bottle Coffee to Open Locations in Downtown Boston, Prudential Center

by Marc Hurwitz

A few days ago, we reported that a San Francisco-based coffee roaster had opened its first retail shop in the Boston area. Now we have learned that two other locations are on their way as well this year.

According to an article in Boston Magazine, Blue Bottle Coffee is planning to open shops at 100 Federal Street in downtown Boston and at the Prudential Center in the Back Bay, with both scheduled to open sometime in 2018. (We had mentioned earlier that a location would be coming to the Back Bay, but didn't know exactly where at the time.) Once they open, the two stores will join another on Bow Street in Cambridge's Harvard Square, with that outlet officially opening over the past weekend.

Blue Bottle Coffee is considered part of the "third-wave" of specialty coffee shops that focus on high-quality beans; its website can be found at https://bluebottlecoffee.com/

[May 8 update: Eater Boston states that the downtown Boston location of Blue Bottle Coffee debuts on Mother's Day.]

[July 9 update: A new article from Eater Boston says that the Prudential location of Blue Bottle Coffee opens this week, with a community day coming up tomorrow (Tuesday, July 10) and its grand opening taking place on Wednesday.]

Atomic Cafe Announces Closure of Its Marblehead Location; Sole Remaining Shop in Beverly Remains Open

by Marc Hurwitz

What was once a trio of North Shore cafes is now down to just one.

According to a source, Atomic Cafe has officially closed its shop in Marblehead, with a Facebook post saying that the decision is not directly related to the flooding that had caused the School Street store to shut down last month, but that the people behind the business have been looking to scale back their shops (including one in Newburyport, which closed in September) and that the flood simply "accelerated" their plans. The closing of the Marblehead and Newburyport outlets mean that only one shop remains in operation--a location on Cabot Street in Beverly. (The company's roasting operation is located in Salem.)

The address for this now-closed cafe in Marblehead was: Atomic Cafe, 14 School Street, Marblehead, MA, 01945. The website for the business can be found at http://www.atomicafe.com/

Jaho Coffee and Tea Is Opening in Boston's Back Bay

It looks like a local coffee roaster with three shops in the region is expanding further into Boston.

According to a source, Jaho Coffee and Tea plans to open a new location in the Back Bay, with the new location being in an office building on Huntington Avenue next to Copley Place and the Prudential Center.

Once it opens, the new location of Jaho Coffee and Tea will join other Jaho outlets in Downtown Crossing/Chinatown, the South End, and Salem, along with a shop in Tokyo.
