INDEPENDENT COFFEE SHOPS OF BOSTON

Boston Common Coffee Co. Peter Femino

Boston Common Coffee Co.

When owners Peter Femino and Tony Massari opened the original BCC six years ago, they wanted to create a “middle of the line” coffee shop that served a medium roast and fresh, homemade breakfast food. It seems to be a successful formula: The business partners now have three Boston locations.

On the menu: The SaltalaMocchia, a salted caramel mocha latte, named for Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
