Awesome coffee

by tanvi414 at Citysearch

This place is amazing. Love their latte, and they usually decorate the foam with a leaf or a heart or spades.. The coffee is roasted perfectly and never burnt. They also have parking (share the lot with Brooks). They are kinda small, so, you might have to get your coffee to go. If you are not into coffee, they also have a good selection of bagels, pastries and teas. I think they even have hot chocolate and ice cream. Definitely worth a visit.

• Pros: Awesome Coffee
• Cons: Small (Not enough seats)

Great little coffehouse

The coffee at Simon's is excellent! The baristas there know the difference between a latte and a cappucino, and it really shows. For the same price as a latte at Starbucks, Simon's will serve you a latte where the coffee tastes perfectly roasted (as opposed to burnt), as well as turning it into a work of art (sometimes the foam has been "decorated" with a leaf or a heart). In addition to coffee, Simons offers over 20 different teas, all loose leaf. If you are near Porter Square and feel the need for some caffeine, Simon's is worth a visit. Besides, how can you not like a place that offers Toscanini's ice cream?

• Pros: excellent coffee, large tea selection
