I've always had a little soft spot in my heart since Central Perk was introduced in the mid 90's during the TV show "Friends". In my college years, I tried to frequent our local coffee shop, with acoustic open mic nights and poetry readings. There is something so homely about your nearby, non-corporate coffee dispensary, and Studio Cafe is no different.
Right on Main St. in Woburn, with several public parking lots surrounding it along with free parking right out front, it is very easy to get in and out quickly. If you're the artsy type or have kids who are, you'll love it here. They have local artistry all over the walls and even small seating areas for kids with crayons/markers for your little one to go wild on a blank canvas. So it's definitely very "artist focused" overall.
The lobby greets you with some excellent seating arrangements. There are your typical table and chairs that any restaurant would have but also low seated tables and sofas for you to enjoy your food and beverages on while sitting around what feels like a living room setting. It is counter service only, with chalk menus available that change daily, along with the coffee flavors.
Offering everything from donut sticks to bagels with flavored cream cheese, I always look for a coffee locale that comes with food too. Everything has been extremely fresh and tasty. They are already well known for their biscuit sandwiches. Made in-house with a very fluffy egg and your choice of meat including vegetarian sausage, I would highly recommend grabbing one of these over any of the confectionaries in the case in front of you.
I'm happy to finally have that local coffee shop within just a few miles of our place to call our own. We will keep going back as long as the beverage and food options remain this strong overall.
