Other Side Cosmic Cafe (The), Boston

Part of this cafe's name can be attributed to its location on the "other side" of Newbury Street, a block west of Massachusetts Avenue. It is "cosmic" because of the atmosphere created by the artwork, music, staff, clientele and menu. Simple cafe fare is made fun with sandwiches and wraps containing items like avocado, boursin cheese, apples, sprouts and roast beef. The soups and salads are also creative. Beverages include beer, wine, coffee and espresso-based drinks, teas, and smoothies. Does not accept credit cards; accepts cash only.
