"Where else can you grab a cold brew, some chimichurri beef skewers, and a bacon jam and arugula tartlet at the same time? This gourmet specialty store, which opened in 2019 (joining its older sibling in Southie), serves coffee alongside pantry essentials, snacks, and other goodies. For those who like to brew their coffee at home, the store stocks beans from independent roasters, including Cambridge-based Broadsheet Coffee Roasters. American Provisions is open for takeout. Orders can be placed ahead of time on the shop’s website." - Nathan Tavares
