A coffee gift for Cambridge
Every box carries a 12 oz bag from a different independent Massachusetts roaster, roasted to order and shipped in the roaster's own bag. Our packing slip goes in with it and names the roaster, their shop, their story and the tasting notes.
Give it to someone who lives in Cambridge, or to someone who studied or worked there and has since moved on. Broadsheet's Cambridge cafe pours coffee roasted in Somerville, and barismo roasts in Arlington. The gift adds roasters from the rest of the state.

Roasters named here are local favorites we list. A listing does not mean a roaster is part of the club, and no roaster pays to be listed.
The boxes come from roasters across Massachusetts, chosen by us, and we do not promise a particular roaster. Our Cambridge coffee roasters page has the city's own story, back to the Coffee Connection.
