Barisimo in Arlington (roughly across the street from the Capitol Theater) is some fine coffee. Good pour overs as well as espresso. A little out of the way for me but worth it.

Crema Cafe
Starbucks in Kendall (on the corner of Ames and Broadway) they have the BEST staff and they have the clover machine - and know how to use it.

Sorry, but I've never found a local replacement for the Coffee Connection. Howell's current offerings are simply too expensive.

Equal Exchange at 226 Causeway Street next to the Garden/North Station. Delicious coffee, fantastic baristas and you get to support fair trade coffee farmers.
They make a fantastic mocha. :)

Barismo in Arlington and Simon's in Cambridge (because they use Barismo beans) by far the best around. Just tried Great Barrington Coffee in Boston and it was very good.
