Time to Weigh the Coffee: Polcari's Beautiful Antique Scale

Shopping trips to Boston's North End should always include stopping for coffee beans at Polcari's Coffee on Salem Street. (Map & Reviews)

Part of the joy of buying coffee there is watching this beautiful antique scale in action! 

They will also be happy to help you create a custom blend designed for your taste. I watched a customer order his favorite mix of four beans.
