Features | Columns Boston Brews: Phinista Graphic by Grace Cho Welcome back, coffee explorers, to the second stop on the Boston Brews train! This week, I ventured out in search of a good study spot for the midterm season. My research, scrolling through Instagram and word of mouth from my friends, brought me face-to-face with Phinista. Phinista describes itself as “a cozy, Asian-inspired café for the neighborhood,” and it exceeded its own description. With comfort foods like the ube bun and a variety of bánh mì options, Phinista is a great place to relax in the sunlight through the large windows and enjoy a nice meal to rejuvenate before or during your study session. Phinista also has great drink options for matcha lovers, coffee lovers or decaf diehards. Featuring Ube Matcha, a Kyoto Fog, a London Fog, an Iced Saigonese and fruity refreshers, the delicious drinks are endless. I personally recommend the Kyoto Fog, Strawberry Matcha and the ube bun as good choices for your first try.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

Your friend is forty minutes late. Can the restaurant give away their chair?

A busy restaurant seats your group only after everyone arrives. One friend is forty minutes late and keeps texting that they are almost there. A couple waiting nearby could use the empty place, and the server asks your group to order without them.

How long should one person's delay control everyone else's evening?
