The Scene – Located just off of Harvard Square, this popular cafe provides a refreshing alternative to the numerous area coffeeshops.

Great variety, great atmosphere (though sometimes hard to get a seat), and great tea. Staff range from amazing to not so great, but typically there's at least one knowledgable person working to help you. Don't bother with the pastries, though.

Try the Royal Coconut Pouchong, White Blueberry, or Rote Grutz for something a little different.
- Pros: Great Tea at a Great Price
- Cons: Pastries.
