Intent guide
Short coffee stops across Boston and Somerville
Gracenote on Lincoln Street and Ogawa on Milk Street fit a downtown walk. Little Wolf offers a Seaport counter, Kohi serves Boston Landing, and Nine Bar's Davis Square window is handy for the Red Line. These picks suit a drink and perhaps a pastry; queues can still take time.
