Either the crew at the Boylston Street Dunkin’ Donuts has really good taste in music or they’re smart enough to blare the music coming from nearby WECB-FM, Emerson College’s stellar radio station with a lineup that includes Air’s “Pocket Symphony” and the Kings of Leon’s “Because of the Times.” This popular college hangout is also frequented by a diverse cross-section of Theatre District enthusiasts looking for a cup of DD’s addictive brew before taking in a show at the nearby Colonial and Emerson Majestic.

Emerson’s Café is campus dining at its best. Centrally located on Boylston Street in the Theatre District, this Emerson College haunt serves the coffee-on-the-go basics like bagels with cream cheese, tuna melts, fruit cups and cappuccinos. Great place to soak up the Emerson vibe.

Au Bon Pain means the place of good bread in French. Au Bon Pain is a stylish bakery café located at America's urban junctions and suburban crossroads.

A tried and true, 50 year old family-owned massachusetts business. This is their first South End location. First of all, the staff which is very friendly, is always willing to cut you a deal on some of their fruits and vegetables. Their produce is very fresh and tastes awesome! However there is little to no organic produce. Very reasonable prices. Three dollars in your pocket usually yields more than enough produce to throw together a quick stirfry, sandwich, or any other type of meal that you'd care to macgyver that night. They have pretty nice looking baked goods too. Airy and clean but small space. Two wide short steps down, they are willing to help you down the stairs if you require it. From the website "Our fonder, George senior, always said “if you give someone more than they expect, they will always come back.” This has be our definition of value: give you more than you expect in quality service and price. The rest is easy and will always fall into place."
