"Diesel Cafe feels like the social hub of Porter Square. They’re open until 9pm, so you’ll catch people in the airy space finishing up work on their laptops, decompressing with friends, and playing rounds on the pool table in the back (which is right by the defunct motorcycle). And there really is something for everyone here: ample seating, free wifi, ice cream, great coffee, and even a cash-only photo booth. We love coming in the morning for an airy and blistered bagel with punchy scallion cream cheese, for a long lunch on slow days for a rotating vegetarian sandwich special, and for afternoon chai lattes with buttery scones or flakey sticky buns.
