Coffee meetings can provide the perfect atmosphere for small meetings in a relaxed environment, but location is key. You want to make sure the atmosphere is welcoming and it does not feel like you are being rushed to leave. At the same time the music or talking inside cannot be too loud as you have to carry on a conversation. And seating is of course a must have as well, preferably small tables with chairs for a greater feeling of privacy than at a shared table or counter-top. In a major city, the location chosen should either be accessible by train or T (that's the metro/subway for those outside Boston), have parking nearby or be close to your clients' location. And of course, the selection of coffee or tea is very important as well. After having many coffee meetings in and around Boston, I'd like to share a few of my favorite meeting spots.
