As a photographer & someone who works from home most days during the week, it's always my goal to find the best coffee shops to sit & work at! I have quite a few criteria to make a coffee shop my fave, & these meet them all!

Madcap Coffee

If you love natural light & want the best iced oat milk Miel in town, Madcap is the place to go!! The minimalist, black & white vibe is soooo peaceful & such a great place to work. Only downside is that it's typically pretty busy & only a handful of seats have plugs to charge.

Fulton Street Farmers Market is right up the road, so this is the place to be on Saturdays!

Stovetop Coffee Roasters

Right down the street from Madcap is Stovetop! Also a super cute, light & airy vibe in here! If you like matcha, you have to try their Matcha Bloom Latte! To die for! It is typically pretty busy, but they have a large variety of tables with and without plugs, so you can usually find a place to squeeze in at the bar!

Outside Coffee Co.

I think the best vibes of a coffee shop has to go to Outside Coffee! This place is so unique because like the name says, it's outside! It's the cutest lil blue coffee truck with igloos and fireplaces to sit by in the winter, & the most fun place to hang out in the summer! It's also attached to Woosah, where you can do some shopping for the cutest outdoorsy items! Their oat milk Miel is my second favorite in town!!

Rowster Coffee

If you like a moodier, cozier vibe, Rowster is the place to go! I loveeeee to visit Rowster when I'm looking for somewhere that I'm guaranteed a plug, as the majority of their seats have one!

Lyon St. Cafe

Lyon St. is right next to Nantucket Bakery, so I loveeee to come here when I'm looking for a yummy pastry! You do wanna get here pretty early if you wanna get a spot, as it's typically pretty busy!

Lantern Coffee Bar & Lounge

If you're looking for  a place right downtown, Lantern is my go-to! It's got a super cool industrial vibe & the downstairs is quiet, cozy place to work!
