Free coffee at a new cafe

[prog.livejournal.com]

I dropped by the brand-new Ball Square coffee house on Broadway, across the street from True Grounds. (Yeah, I know.) They seem to be going for a slightly more restauranty vibe, having place-set tables with matching napkins and all, but they're happy to sell coffee to go as well.

I met one of the owners, a friendly dude who was enthusiastically greeting everyone coming in. He told me that they're serving coffee on the house for their first few days of operation. Dunno how long that's gonna go on, so look for the balloons and follow your nose if you'd like to try a complimentary cuppa. I can attest that they have a decent dark roast!

I'm not going to get into "best", but you should also try Rao's coffee at Mr Crepe, and the coffee at True Grounds in Ball Square, and whatever they serve at Cafe Zing in Porter Square Books.

I've actually worked at an original Rao's in Western MA. :) They've got decent coffee but sometimes it's a little too starbucksesque tasting for my ...er...taste. I'll have to check it out there(preparation can make a big difference) and Cafe Zing as well. They also serve Rao's coffee at Soliel Cafe which has woefully poor hours but good food imo.
