LessThis French-Vietnamese spot is the best place to study while satisfying your sweet tooth. It offers free Wi-Fi and outlets you don’t need to compete over. Plus, it has a stellar menu that includes a divine matcha bun pastry and a chocolate crepe with strawberries that pairs perfectly with Phin-brewed coffee.
This local chain is a great place to study and is the ideal spot to go if you have a food allergy. With many gluten-free and nut-free options—like the raspberry meringue cloud and the grilled cauliflower sandwich—you’ll have plenty to choose from. But be sure to get there early to save your spot near an outlet since this is a student fave!
Located in the heart of the Boston Public Library, you’ll have access to free Wi-Fi, as well as outlets and snacks to munch on from the Grab 'n' Go counter, including sandwiches, salads, coffee, and tea. Make sure you get there early though—this popular spot fills up fast!
Trident Booksellers is a unique place where you can sip coffee or a cocktail. (Yep, there’s booze too.) It’s also a wonderful spot to join the Boston community during their weekly events, including open mic nights, trivia, and more. Be sure to order the Potato Chuckwagon when you go—it’s arguably the tastiest dish on their all-day breakfast menu.
If you're a Boston native or a bagel sandwich connoisseur, then you’re probably already familiar with Pavement Coffeehouse. With many different locations around the city, it’s a great go-to when you want to catch up on some reading, work, or simply, sip on a latte. Pavement also has free Wi-Fi as well as a handful of outlets so you can keep your computer charged, while simultaneously charging up with the delicious coffee.
Tatte Bakery is one of the most elegant coffee shop chains in the Boston area. With photo-worthy decor and mouth-watering food (like the lamb hash!), you’ll never want to leave, and because Tatte offers free Wi-Fi, you won’t have to! Plan on bringing your textbooks, your computer, your phone—and maybe even your camera—so you can capture the beauty that is this bakery.
This stylish café, which offers desserts that are made in-house daily, fits in perfectly with its location on Newbury Street. The only caution is that the pastries are (almost) too pretty to eat. (You’ll understand when you order the Exotique Spheres!) Come for the Snow Flower bev and strong Wi-Fi. Stay for the inviting vibe and warm hospitality.
