Kohi Coffee Company

Kohi was founded in 2014 in Provincetown, the colorful cultural capital of Cape Cod (ninety minutes from Boston by fast ferry, or about three hours by car). With two cafes there, one of them attached to a restaurant, Spindler’s, Kohi has more recently landed in Boston with a pair of handsome outposts: a larger cafe in Brighton, a young area underserved by good coffee, and an efficient, standing-room-only shop tucked into a downtown office lobby. Kohi is one of the only cafes in Boston to serve Tandem, the noted Portland (Maine) roaster. A pass-through window to the street, not yet operating at time of review, will cater to office workers keen to spend their lunch break out of doors.
