About The VU

The VU is an amazing tiny coffee shop that offers great coffee, treats, and an excellent environment. With its innovative concept of combining a cinema and coffee shop, the establishment is known for its exceptional coffee selection, roasted on-site, and exquisite baked goods like biscuits and pastries. The service is unparalleled, as the crew expertly prepare pour-over coffees, a rarity in the local area. This local business is a hidden gem, Boston’s only video rental store with a microcinema for screening events. The coffee is absolutely phenomenal, some of the best in the city, and reasonably priced. Creative and properly brewed, it pairs perfectly with the excellent snacks and baked goods, especially the crazy good biscuits. The VU is a neighborhood spot worth supporting for years to come.

And it is awesome- the owner is really friendly and serves up snacks before the film. The mocha frappe personal favorite. Then the movie begins on old school projector with a q&a afterwards. Once we are allowed back out it is one of the first places I going-...read full review
