Barrington Coffee Roasting in Boston
After two decades as a Berkshires-based micro-roaster, this company first expanded into cafe settings in Boston’s Fort Point, serving drip- and flash-brewed joe alongside artisanal teas and locally sourced pastries. A cool vibe meets coffee science at the newer Back Bay location, opened this winter, where a state-of-the-art machine brews pour-over-style drinks to precision with four futuristic glass cylinders.
Must-Order: Barrington frequently unveils new espressos with unique flavor profiles. Its latest: the 413, which boasts varietals created through the roaster’s long-term farm projects in India, Brazil and Colombia. You’ll find notes of malt, maraschino cherry and molasses.
On the Menu: Keep an eye out for tasty scones in varieties like bacon and Gruyère.
