Welcome back to our BOStoday coffee shop bracket, where we’re asking you to determine the best coffee shop in Boston.

Who’s still in the running

After our initial round of votes, we’re down to four shops left.
  • Gracenote Coffee and Thinking Cup Coffee Shop | Gracenote is a shop for coffee enthusiasts and roasters with two locations to visit — one downtown + one at High Street Place. Thinking Cup offers a cozy space with a wide variety of coffee, teas, and breakfast items from three locations around Boston.
  • George Howell Coffee and Broadsheet Roasters | George Howell was founded in 2004 and has been sourcing + roasting its brews at four locations. Broadsheet Roasters got its start in 2017 in Cambridge and the love for coffee and the community has been brewing since.
You know what to do

Vote for the coffee shops you’d like to see advance to the final round using this poll. Once we count all the votes, we’ll share an updated bracket and new poll in an upcoming newsletter.
