Finding Home in Three Brookline Coffee Shops Words by Claire Madden Photos by Kate Klein
W
henever I am feeling tired of my apartment, of my bedroom and living room and especially the kitchen, with its frozen berry stains and lemony overhead light, I make a coffee run. I am looking for somewhere new to go and some caffeine, but there is something more pressing about seeking out a coffee shop. I am searching for somewhere warm and fresh, a place I do not have to maintain or nourish myself, a second home. Three Brookline-area coffee shops in particular fulfill this definition of home for me, weary or restless as I feel. Tatte, Caffè Nero, and CafÊ Fixe, all conveniently nestled on either side of the C Line, each present a different and entirely welcome sense of home.
