Located near the TD Garden, in Boston’s West End
T-stop: North Station (Orange and Green Lines)
Hours: Monday - Friday: 7am - 7pm, Saturday: 9am - 5pm
Phone: 617-372-8777

At 226 Causeway St., the café is located between the historic North End and the TD Garden, home of the reigning NBA champions - the Boston Celtics. A street-level storefront, the building houses many businesses and organizations in the floors above.

Cafés are one of a number of ways we hope to engage consumers more directly in the years ahead. Here on Causeway Street, we will be able to showcase the fruits of the enormous effort our farmer partners invest in growing the highest quality coffee, tea and chocolate. We hope from time-to-time to have special presentations from farmers as well as "cuppings" led by our roasting and quality control staff.

To supplement our directly sourced products and milk from local family dairy farmers, we will be supporting local independent businesses to provide fresh pastries and healthy light lunch offerings.

Equal Exchange Receives Green Business Award
The City of Boston presented the Equal Exchange Café with a Green Business Award. The Mayor's office stated, "In keeping with Equal Exchange's role as a leading importer and roaster of certified organic coffee, and purveyor of certified organic tea and chocolate, the café incorporates a number of environmentally responsible practices, ranging from the use of reclaimed wood in the café's furniture to a comprehensive recycling and composting program for both staff and patrons."
