Hey folks! I love visiting different cafes and bookstores in different neighborhoods and thought I’d take some recs from this community. I am particularly looking for the cozy ones where I can read my book while sipping some hot tea. Open to options outside Boston/Camberville too as long as it is accessible by T and welcoming. Give me your hidden gems haha.

My favorites so far are the Boston public library in copley (where I have spent most of my Saturday mornings reading books), Life Alive in kendall, and Andala House in Central. I like Trident but I think it’s always busy? I really want to check out Beacon Hill Books and Cafe but they are always booked out :( I’d love any cafes where I can read for a few hours and then walk around to explore the neighborhood.
