Joseph’s iced white chocolate chip iced coffee beats all of the above in my opinion :)
I’ve lived in southie for 5 years now and still go to Joseph’s every morning!
Should be on here. They use Equal Ex. and make it with love!
Isn’t Bailey’s closed??
It would be real nice if a few of these places modified and updated their business practices to the 21st century – running a cash only business is not only inconvenient, and slightly inconsiderate, but reeks of illegal and dishonest accounting and tax practices — enoughs enough – Dunkins at the end of West Broadway will get my business until these places modify their practices — no I dont want to run to an ATM and get hit with a $2-3 dollar service charge – allow me to use my ATM/Debit/Credit card, and you will be better served in the long run
I know you’re talking to the Beemer and not pickup truck crowd, but come on!
Was going to comment the same thing and couldn’t have said it better. There are a whole host of credit card services for small businesses. Have your employees slap a Square reader on an iPhone at the counter if you can’t manage to get a real credit card system in place. Three of the seven places on here are cash only, and Cafe Arpeggio has a $10 minimum. Real conducive to a cup of coffee. I love me some PS Gourmet, but I also get paid via direct deposit like probably half the Southie population. Get it together!
Maybe the business owners don’t want to get charged 30 cents for your $2 coffee. Ever notice how long it takes to use a debit card espically the ones that get worn out and takes a few swipes to work? Then you have to sign it and makes an even longer line and more of a wait for people who have cash ready to go. The business owners have decided they don’t want your business if you can’t dig through your pocket to find $2-3. Sound like two idiots who can’t use their EBT card or two Yuppies who bring their debit card to the bar, swipe it for one drink and then close out their tab. Guess what? Every Bartender hates you.
PS Gormet Coffee. The all time best anywhere. Best variety, best flavor, best service. People walk many MANY blocks to get ‘The Bucket’ and it’s well worth it…
If you know you’re buying your coffee each day from a place that only takes cash, walk your lazy A_ _ to the ATM on Sunday and take cash out for it. It’s not rocket science!
Quick note on PS Gormet.. Rainforest, Ugly Iguana, Irish Mist? Not sure what to expect with these flavor names. Their breakfast sandwiches are however, the bomb.
Also owners of Java house are scum.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a
problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
