Jason Burton ”who in case you didn’t know, is one of the most wonderful guys in the coffee industry ”started the Caffeine Crawl series in 2011, and it’s been a hit since Day 1. What he does is organize and produce the best darn cafe tour you could ask for in a host of different cities. He’s led Caffeine Crawls through Kansas City, Denver, Saint Louis, Indianapolis, and even Vancouver, B.C. And now he’s set to crack the code on the Boston coffee scene.

On April 13, 18 of Boston’s best cafes and  roasters  will participate in what is going to be the biggest and best Caffeine Crawl to date! The 18 participating locations are being divided into three different routes, with six shops on each route. Each route’s Crawl runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and there are 75 spots available on each route!

Caffeine Crawl participants receive raffle tickets and are entered to win this Baratza Vario-W grinder valued at more than $500!!
