I just moved to the North End and every weekday morning there is a cloud of, what I can only determine to be, burnt coffee around North and Robie. I don’t understand why it keeps happening. Am I missing something?
—no more charcoaled coffee

They roast their own beans therefore the smell. Sounds like you could use a couple of mini filters for your nez.
There is also a creamatorium on that block…
The crematorium kind of smells like tea though.
Really? I never knew that. Weird.
Whatever it is, it sure beats the smell of the Oland Brewery up near the Hydrostone! Although I would definitely cry if it ever closed – I’ll take the very, very good with the slightly bad.
I live nearby and don’t care too much for the smell, but their coffee is pretty decent so whatevs. Don’t think the stench of burning corpses has anything to do with it but I could be wrong.
Java Blend is the best coffee in the city. Go in and get a cup and you won’t mind the smell after that.
That’s not burning its roasting.that’s the smell of real coffee, fair trade organic goodness roasted by a true craftsman in small batches. Its a family business that wholesales coffee all over. If you have ever gone to a coffee shop or restaurant and really loved the coffee, you probably found one of their customers.
Maybe it’s that bat guano coffee.
I live in that ‘hood, too and it can be a bit heavy some mornings… but its only COFFEE, so its a non-problem. I work on the waterfront and I can ONLY WISH that the harbour smelled like coffee.
