Known forwifipastriescentralsit-in

A beloved Boston staple serving Stumptown coffee in a warm, European-style setting steps from the Common. The cortado and house-made pastries are consistently excellent. It draws a mix of locals and tourists given its central location, so expect a wait on weekends.
