1369 Coffee House
About
Inman Square regulars have been coming to 1369 Coffee House since 1993 for coffee, tea and a comfortable, inviting place to sit. Listed as an LGBTQ+ owned or led business, the coffeehouse serves fine coffees, loose-leaf teas and other specialty drinks, including a spiced chai lightly sweetened with sugar and honey and handmade daily. The food side covers home-cooked muffins, soups, salads, sandwiches and quiche, and the business calls itself an intimate and welcoming place for everyone who walks in.
The Inman Square shop opened in January 1993 in the former home of the 1369 Jazz Club, a well-known bar and music venue, and a sister location followed in Central Square in June 1994. The founders set out to build a neighborhood gathering place rather than just a coffee stop, and they count friendships, several marriages, many theses and several books among the things that have taken shape at their tables. Staying independent amid the chains remains a stated goal.
