Bella Vita Caffe

Bella Vita Caffe
30 Charles St.
Beacon Hill Boston, Ma 02114

Food: Coffee, Soups, Salad, Sandwiches, icecream pastries
Atmosphere: Laid back Coffee shop
$$$$: Not too bad for this part of the city.

Who needs a web page when your one of a small few cafe's on Charles Street and Carolyn Meehan is your mayor? That would be your mayor on foursquare.

Apparently Bella Vita Caffe knows this because they don't have a webpage and they seem to be doing just fine.

Don't know who Carolyn Meehan is? If you have a business you are trying to promote you should. She is a social media maven, and President of The Keyturn, a unique digital solutions provider that specializes in the development and deployment of integrated, online and social media marketing strategies.


Between a location on Charles Street in Beacon Hill and Carolyn bringing clients in for meetings over cappuccino what more could you ask for in terms of exposure when you don't have your own webpage?

This place isn't sheik, it doesn't have all new furniture, or a hip atmosphere. It just has great coffee, yummy pastries and cakes, and a few choices for soups, salads and sandwiches. It's also got, gelato, free wi-fi, lots of tables which can be pushed together for bigger parties, and a book trading book case in the back.
For some reason Lou and I always find our way here in the winter after trekking around the city shopping. I like to get a warm drink, sit by the window and watch the people on Charles St. as the bustle by.

If you are high maintenance, trying to impress, like superb service, this place probably isn't for you, but if you are laid back, want to take your time with a latte, have some good conversation, and great people watching, then check it out.
