Render Coffee is located in the South End of Boston. It is a
small coffee shop, but inside of the building the place is thriving with great
coffee, delicious food, and friendly people. I happened to be in the area for
an interview and stopped by to see what the place was about. I was shocked
because for a breakfast and lunch place, it was packed on a Saturday at 4pm. As
soon as I walked in the aroma of coffee and food sold me right away. The
customer has the option of getting food and coffee to go or to place an order
and have it be brought to them at their table. I was the youngest person in the
little coffee shop, but the ages ranged from twenty to sixty years old. There
was an equal amount of males and females and a variety of races being served. Most
people usually were alone reading a book or on their laptops. I would suspect
Render Coffee is a great place to relax and get work done. They provide free Wi-Fi
and a relaxing atmosphere. The only downside to my experience was they needed more
seating. I was lucky to find a seat because the place was packed. The tables were
also very close together, but I couldn’t complain because the coffee was great.
They get most of their coffee from Counter Culture. This is a company that is
certified in Direct Trade. Direct Trade established a direct connection with
the farmers and gives the farmers an even better price then fair trade coffee. The
coffee was poured over, which means that each coffee is made to order. The coffee
is grounded and placed in a one cup brewer. This means that the coffee is not
brewed, then sitting for a customer to order it. It is freshly made for each
customer. I was shocked at how much the owner knew about coffee. His reason for
opening the coffee shop was to only serve the best and most fair priced coffee
and food. He even gets his food from local farms and it helps the surrounding
community. This gives the customers healthier food options. Once I asked the
owner about his coffee, it was hard to understand everything he was saying because he was an
expert in the coffee field. He also mentioned that he just opened his shop in
October. He was already doing very well. He invited me, as well as the public,
to attend their weekly counter culture coffee cupping event every Friday at
10am. I definitely will be visiting more and I highly recommend you to visit
too.
