Wishing Cup Coffee

About

Wishing Cup is a minority- and family-owned coffee shop in downtown Boston that ties every order to a community mission. The drink menu covers lattes, pour-overs and drip coffee made with locally roasted beans, plus a range of teas including matcha, herbal and fruity blends, served hot or iced and customized with syrups, dairy options and sweeteners. Food is served all day, with flavors inspired by cuisines from around the world.

Each month the cafe grants a real wish from the community. Customers write a wish on a card for themselves, someone they love or the whole neighborhood and drop it in the cup by the register; the community then votes on social media, and the shop brings the winning wish to life. Food includes focaccia sandwiches, egg tartines and salads, along with homemade desserts like cheesecake cups, brownies and chia pudding, and pastries such as Nutella croissants and toffee sticky buns.
