  • Sad fact: there's way too much bad (and badly made) coffee around. That's why Torrefazione Italia is such a beautiful indulgence. At this Back Bay-by-way-of-Turin coffeehouse -- where the mugs are hand-painted and the joe is expertly roasted -- you'll find some of the best (and best-made) coffee in the city. Torrefazione's espresso drinks are transformative: from the first touch of foam in the cappuccinos to the craftsman-like layering of the lattes to the textbook head-body combo of the espressos, this stuff is pure sensual indulgence. As it should be.

    torrefazione Torrefazione Italia is located at 85 Newbury Street, in Boston. Call (617) 424-0951.
