Blue Bottle Coffee to Expand to Cambridge’s Kendall Square | Eater Boston

"I've learned that Blue Bottle Coffee, a California-based chain, has submitted an application to open a fourth Boston-area cafe at 88 Ames St. in Cambridge’s Kendall Square. The proposed nearly 1,500-square-foot storefront would seat 20 (total occupancy 40) and operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, though a company representative declined to confirm the potential expansion. Blue Bottle first entered the Boston area in February 2018 with a Harvard Square location and later added sites in Downtown Boston and in Back Bay at the Prudential Center. Based in Oakland, the chain operates cafes across California, New York, Miami, and Washington, D.C., and internationally, and is known for its variety of pour-over coffees, espresso beverages, and selection of pastries; the Prudential store also sells Liège-style waffles." - Dana Hatic
