Food Scene

Seemingly unlimited coffee flavor options, all brewed coffees. Coffee & mocha (sweeter). We usually go for iced and a "bucket" sized option. Some of our favorite flavors include Banana Hazelnut, PS Special, Cinnamon Hazelnut, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Winter Wonderland (seasonal around the holidays and just a delight) There is a credit card minimum ($10), so be sure to have cash on hand if you are only getting one coffee or something small.

Located a quick 4 minute walk, this Italian style place has great drinks and food for brunch or dinner. Can be sort of a scene on a Friday or Saturday night with there being a club downstairs (the only club I can think of in South Boston). Large restaurant so while it's good to have a reservation, you can have a lot of luck walking in. They have occasional live music/entertainment. There is also a gelato stand in front that runs during the more temperate months.
