"Downtown Boston’s 'pregnant building' is giving birth to the second local outpost of California-based Blue Bottle Coffee this weekend — on Mother’s Day, nonetheless. The bulbous 100 Federal St., now embellished with a fancy glass atrium known as the 'the Exchange,' is Blue Bottle’s newest home, just a few months after the coffee chain first touched down in Massachusetts with a Harvard Square location (40 Bow St.). A Prudential Center location is also in the works. Expect plenty of coffee as well as liege-style waffles and toast from the new downtown location of Blue Bottle, a one-time indie brand in which mega corporation Nestle gained a majority stake last year." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
