"A downtown coffeebar on the first floor of the former State Street Bank building at 225 Franklin St. in Post Office Square, this location was designed by international firm Gensler and channels a hotel-lobby-bar vibe with communal seating and finishes like marble, leather, and brass to encourage interaction between customers and baristas. It includes an outdoor patio and sits steps from Norman B. Leventhal Park and within minutes of other neighborhood coffee options. The shop follows a direct-trade sourcing model with longtime partnerships with growers in Central and South America and East Africa, also offering teas from Kilogram Tea. Typical hours are weekdays 6:30 a.m.–6 p.m. and Saturdays 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m. (closed Sundays)." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
