Owners Francois and Fatuma Tuyishime recently opened this cheery little coffee shop in Somerville’s Teele Square with a focus on exclusively Rwandan coffee growers. Francois is from southwestern Rwanda, where his family grows coffee crops, and the couple’s knowledge of the region’s coffee industry comes through in each expertly brewed cup.

You likely recognize this name: Broadsheet is a wholesale coffee roaster that supplies beans to many of the top restaurants and cafes in the Boston area. However, the company also has a great little cafe on the border between Cambridge and Somerville where customers can hang out and try Broadsheet’s latest blends.

Named for its address in Inman Square, 1369 Coffee House covers all the bases: hot espresso beverages, cold brew (available in growlers), seasonal tea lattes (usually with accompanying chalkboard art), bagels, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and more. Don’t miss the Mexican hot chocolate on a cold winter day.

Vietnamese cafe Cicada (Eater’s best new cafe of 2021), is the place to go to unplug, sip a sea salt-topped coffee sweetened with condensed milk, and eat noodle salad or banh mi, perhaps with a funky glass of wine on the side. Definitely try to grab a seat in the beautiful garden hidden out back.

Revival’s menu features cheekily named bagel sandwiches for breakfast (served all-day) and equally good wraps and sandwiches for lunch. To drink, there are plenty of fun hot and iced coffee and tea drinks, as well as other options like a ginger and lemon concoction, seltzer, and lemonade.

George Howell’s swanky location in downtown Boston’s Godfrey Hotel is a European-style espresso bar with quick-serve coffee and a range of espresso beverages; be sure to check out the creative seasonal specials that are almost cocktail-like in their intricacy.

Gracenote’s nook in the Leather District is tiny — don’t expect to open a laptop and park it here for hours — but it is friendly and warm and customers can reliably count on a great cup of coffee every morning. Find a second location in downtown Boston food hall High Street Place.

South End spot Sip of Joy may be the newest cafe on this list, but it’s playing for keeps with its outstanding menu of smooth Turkish coffee and pastries orchestrated by owners Matt and Burju Sari. For those who don’t have time to sit for Turkish coffee service, George Howell-roasted drip coffee, iced coffee, and espresso drinks are on deck.

A bit hidden from the bustling Washington Street in Brookline Village, Brothers & Sisters Co. is home to not only coffee drinks and tasty sandwiches, but also Jamie’s Ice Cream Co., the newest addition to owner Jamie Siracusa’s business ventures. The space is cozy and inviting, emanating a quintessential neighborhood cafe vibe with exposed brick walls, cushiony seating, and wooden tables and chairs.

This cafe attached to a renowned motorcycle restoration shop is absolutely as cool as it sounds. Settle in with a cup of coffee (they stock Broadsheet), a square of flaky, sweet baklava, and watch the experts at work through a gigantic back window overlooking the shop.

This tiny coffee shop is a short walk away from Jamaica Pond, a scenic spot for strolls and all sorts of outdoor activities. The space is small but airy and bright, with large, street-facing windows allowing in ample sunlight. It’s best known for its espresso game, as its owners previously founded a mobile espresso bar on a tricycle called the Coffee Trike. Broadsheet supplies the beans.
