New and Coming Soon to Boston
Upcoming and recent openings: Museum of Ice Cream, Princess Polly and a cat café
by Mia Overbo
As a college student, it’s easy to feel stuck in a routine. Your habitual cafés, night-outs, and shops are comforting but could use a new rotation. Here are a few exciting places to add to your list.
A Sanctuary Cafe, the one-and-only cat café and bookstore in Boston, acts as home to the cats residing in the café’s lounge. They partner with local bakeries and coffee brands including French Press, MEM Tea and Atomic Coffee, offering visitors a rotating selection of menu items while supporting local businesses. Enjoy a lavender latte and a cat-decorated macaron while reading through their highly curated book collection.
The café recently opened in July and the cats are still acclimating to their new environment. On Instagram, they announced that reservations to interact with the cats will open soon. For now, the cats have their own separate space in the café to play.
A much-anticipated new opening in Boston is Princess Polly’s location on Newbury this fall. The online-based brand originally promised to open doors this past summer, meaning that everyone has their eyes peeled on their Instagram for the next update. Recent storefronts in Arizona and San Diego allude that the Boston location is just around the corner. Knowing that similar brands such as Aritzia, Zara, and Brandy Melville often have winding lines for try-ons and check-outs, come prepared with a coffee, a long debrief, and a good friend. The in-store experience is worth the wait and soon, you’ll know what the anticipation is all about. (Hint: some new cute outfits.)
This list wouldn’t be complete without a sweet escape to anticipate until the end of this year. The next time your best friend asks if you want to get a sweet treat, make plans to visit the Boston Museum of Ice Cream.
You might have seen content from this Instagrammable spot from their locations in New York, Chicago, and Miami, among others. Not only will they provide you with your craving, but they also have a sprinkle pool, immersive experiences, and unlimited ice cream. Navigate to the Boston tab of their website to sign up to be notified about early invitations and promotions. Get the inside scoop! The museum will be open in Seaport by the end of this year.
