Sure the topic is fun, but it's like when people give "advice" about colleges based on their experience with a 1 hour tour. Not who I'm gonna listen to. I only found the best coffee place near my DD's college near the end of her first year. Most people on a tour would only see the closest place, which you would find on your own anyways. So not really adding much.


You seem pretty miserable if this is your take. I hope you a path to a happier place.

This is a chain (owned by Panera) that has locations in the DC area. There must be better places in Boston!

YASS so much better than Aromas. Boosters on this sub are insufferable.

This is an odd response to a fun, reasonable question. I’m sure people are sharing from more varied experiences than just one tour.

P.S. As a Tribe alumn, I agree with the Aroma’s shout out!
