I have enjoyed Boston Common Coffee Co. ever since I first wandered in two years ago. They make a very tasty egg and cheese on a croissant. They also have amazing quiches. Today I strolled in and saw the panini special.
If you know me, you know I need my egg fix on a weekend morning before I can even think about eating lunch. It was only 11 am and all I could think about was I needed to order that sandwich.
When you order a panini you get a free side salad. Choose from mixed greens, tortellini, white bean or tabouli. All the tables were full, so I took a seat on the comfy couch.
I sipped on a latte with whole milk and sugar. It has never been a contest - that whole, WHOLE vs. SKIM debate. I read quite a few health food blogs where lately I've noticed people coming around to whole milk. I've always been a whole milk gal.

The Pierre was superb. Melted brie oozed out of the perfectly toasted bread, surrounding thin crisp slices of green apple and a light layer of fig spread.
The crowd here comes and goes in waves. The staff keep the line moving quickly. The space is homey, emitting the feel of a living room in a suburban house with big leather chairs, a wood burning stove and an Oriental rug.
The large green plants bring it all together but the wall décor could use some work. The local artwork is a welcome touch but I remember them looking much more sophisticated the last time I was in. In a final selling point, they allow dogs. I think it's nice that if you're out for a Sunday stroll with the pooch they can come in and hang while you enjoy your coffee.
97 Salem Street is the original location; opened in 2004, but they also have locations Downtown @ 531 Washington St. open 7 days a week and in The Financial District @ 10 High St. open Monday through Friday.
