Hex Coffee
Third-wave coffee on Tremont Avenue, the Wilmore Edge counter regulars build their morning around.
The room
Inside Hex Coffee
Hex Coffee is a Wilmore Edge morning stop on Tremont Avenue, small enough that regulars know the order before they reach the counter. The build is third-wave coffee, with a bar that treats pour-overs and drip with equal care rather than pushing everyone toward the espresso machine.
Seating is limited and laptops are tolerated more than encouraged, which keeps the room turning over through the morning rush. It works as a pre-work stop, a rail-trail pit stop, or a place to meet someone for twenty minutes before the day gets away from you.
