Aristo Cafe

Aristo Cafe was founded in 2009, and is located at 92 State St in Boston.

With its cheerful green and orange walls, floating shelves displaying gourmet goods and chalkboard menus, this tiny Parisian-style cafe makes a big impression. Tourists snack on truffled popcorn, and finance types stop in for the handcrafted artisan sandwiches. Aristo's friendly staff has been known to offer a sample or slip customers an extra cookie with their order (the oatmeal raisin with cocoanut is surprisingly addictive). They're also happy to advise tourists or explain the five varieties of semisweet hot chocolate ranging from light to dark.

Seating is limited, but if you manage to snag one of the cushioned window seats, you'll get to admire the cafe's colorful surroundings.
