Identity Coffee Co.

  

Identity Coffee Co. is located in Taunton at 49 Main St., MA, 02780

In modern America, there's a flood of chain coffeeshops pasting themselves into any available space. Instead, choose local. In Taunton Massachusetts, one of the best options is Identity Coffee Co. Here, you'll find a vast array of drinks, food, and even ice cream should you so desire. I decided to try it out on a weekend, and even during the midday Saturday chaos, there was a sort of peace to the babble inside.

 

At Identity, you'll find a vast array of options to choose from. Everything from cold coffees and teas to specialty hot-brewed drinks are made to order by a host of friendly staff who make the experience all the better. With fresh-baked goods that rotate frequently, you'll never have the exact same options each time you come to Identity. If coffee isn't your exact taste, there's plenty more to choose from. Additionally, their reasonable prices make the trip far more worthwhile.

 

Immediately across the bar, you'll find the roughly placed stage. Among the wide variety of chairs populating the comfortable space, a well-kept space for musicians is maintained for events hosted on various nights. Here you'll get to listen to everything from easy jazz to relaxing low-fidelity tunes.

 

In the upstairs section overlooking the main cafe, you'll find a curated space for gatherings of friends and family to play games like billiards, table tennis, and a selection of board games. It's removed from the main room and allows the din to filter out, which is perfect for a friendly match or just calm isolation. Additionally, there's wheelchair access via an elevator so that everyone can enjoy the upstairs.

 

For children who prefer a quiet, solitary room, you'll find the Florence Room. The inviting warm maroon scheme colors a peaceful section of the coffeehouse away from the main chatter of the greater cafe. With a window to allow parents to keep an eye on the younger ones, this room is perfect for children and even adults who need a minute away from the madness.

On top of the Florence Room, the Lewis Room is a reservable space for many meetings and gatherings to be hosted at the coffeehouse. When I visited Identity, there was a business meeting that seemed of the utmost importance, so no pictures from me. When I was visiting, they were even building an art room dedicated to local artists.

 

Currently, Identity has a detailed vision board that explains to the public just what they plan to do for their community space in Taunton. A maker's market, a proper youth center, a library, an outdoor patio—Identity aims to be more than just a coffeeshop. They're a community center.

 

Seeing as how Identity is only six minutes away, always choose locally owned businesses like Identity. America needs more community spaces, and if you're in the area, stop by Identity and make their community space better with your presence.
