Graffito’s first Boston office at 108 Lincoln Street was leased with the intention of opening a coffee bar in the front 250 SF of the premises. The project was spurred by Graffito’s desire to demonstrate the viablity of small-format shops and add value to a neighborhood underserved by local retail (and good coffee). Graffito coordinated all MEP design, permitting and construction for the coffee bar, in addition to finding a partner to operate the space. Its chosen operator, Gracenote Coffee, won Best of Boston in 2016 and 2017 and is widely regarded (among coffee nerds like us) as one of the highest quality standing espresso bars in America.
