Coffee & Espresso: two centuries old elixirs that take skill and finesse to brew properly. It's also where Cafénation got its start. We began in the summer of 2002 as a wholesale provider of coffee and espresso beans to restaurants and cafes in and around Boston. Almost a year later, on December 17, 2003, we opened the doors to our first retail location at 380 Washington Street in Brighton Center. Our founding principals have remained constant throughout: offer only the finest and freshest products available. With a scoop of Nutella or dash of sea salt, from first bite to last, one thing you will notice is that our crêpes are unlike any other around. We take pride and use great care to build our crêpes, using only the finest and freshest ingredients, and a little more time to ensure everything comes out just right. Although just one of our many culinary offerings, crêpes are our signature item which distinguishes us from other coffeehouses.
