Espresso Yourself

boston takes its coffee seriously, and the specialty scene here has grown into something genuinely worth paying attention to, from the south end to JP. centre street in jamaica plain runs through one of the city's more interesting neighborhoods, and espresso yourself sits at 767, part of a stretch that locals return to on their own schedule. the shop has built a strong following among its regulars, which in a neighborhood this opinionated means something. if you're coming specifically for espresso, you're in the right place. the focus is tight, the reputation isn't borrowed from somewhere else, and the people who keep showing up have their reasons. a well-pulled shot mid-morning on centre street is a reasonable way to start almost anything.
