We couldn’t do what we love without our audience, so here’s a little something extra for your weekend — from how you can help fill our cup to how we’re filling yours with our feature on new + coming soon restaurants around Boston.

☕ Local media runs on you

We receive hundreds of thank you notes and kind messages every week. | Gif my 6AM City

Each day, we write the BOStoday newsletter with one goal: to help you better connect with your community. And each day, our friends across the US, from Seattle to Tampa Bay, do the same.

Here at 6AM City, we know the value of investing in local media. It keeps neighbors connected and the community informed. We’re invested in improving how you experience Boston, like what events to attend + the latest city initiatives and developments to keep an eye on — all in our free newsletter. How is that sustainable, you might ask?

We partner with national brands and some of Boston’s best organizations + businesses that support our mission of bringing only good news to your inbox, but efforts don’t stop there. Over the next six days, we’re running a reader-driven campaign to help sustain the continuation of what we do best.

Curating news for every Bostonian | Like this feature about a new cocktail bar and this one about a $15.5 million home in Beacon Hill
Helping you plan for major events | From festival coverage to our BOStoday Events section filled with the most-anticipated events in Boston
Maintaining our credibility + trust | Fun fact: Our company has turned down more than a million dollars in political ads since we started

Our city has no shortage of masterful baristas, aromatic roasts, and foamy lattes. But if you’re having trouble deciding on a spot, gather some brews clues with our guide to some of the best coffee shops around Boston.

Flat Black Coffee Company
Head to Dorchester to try this roastery in the Lower Mills neighborhood, which has won multiple awards for its espresso.

Vester Cafe
Inspired by the Danish tradition of simplicity, the cafe’s Cambridge and Southie locations serve eye-catching specials, including lattes, iced teas, and spritzes.

Ula Cafe
The Jamaica Plain cafe and meet-up spot is accessible off the MBTA Orange Line — perfect for remote workers looking to switch up their scenery.

Glasser Coffee Co.
We’ve got two words for you: breakfast tacos. If that’s not enough, grab a seasonal scone to pair with your Vietnamese coffee from the Brighton business.
