LAKON PARIS PATISS

💰The deal: Get a free hot or iced coffee with the purchase of any pastry.
🥐 Lakon makes pastries you dress up for. If you’ve scrolled past their sculptural croissants on Instagram, you already know — this is not your average bakery. When it comes to flavors, get excited for pistachio rose, black sesame, or Ferrero Rocher.
🇫🇷 The pastry case is full of edible art, but the vibe is low-key and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for your next treat-yourself morning. Whether you’re in Newton Highlands, The Seaport, or Coolidge Corner, pop in for a pastry, show your B-Side membership pass, and let them cover your coffee.
☕ We’re talking high-quality espresso drinks, smooth iced coffee, and strong-but-sweet drip brews. Their iced coffees pair perfectly with a buttery ham and cheese croissant, or try the viral tiramisu latte with one of their rotating seasonal specials.
FLOUR BAKERY

💰 The deal: Get a free cookie with the purchase of any coffee. Valid 7/14-9/1
🍪 This is a match made in local heaven: As a member, any Flour coffee order comes with a bonus cookie. From the iconic chocolate chip to ginger molasses (B-Side team favorite!) to cornmeal lime (trust us), you’re in for a treat.
🍞 Flour is more than just a bakery — it’s a Boston institution, founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Joanne Chang who literally teaches a masterclass on pastry making (yes, that Masterclass). Flour’s coffee game holds its own, too, with velvety lattes, strong cold brews, and nutty espresso drinks.
📍There might be a line, but it moves fast. Plus, that extra minute can come in handy when deciding which baked good to take home for later. With multiple locations across the city, it’s an ideal stop whether you’re commuting, strolling, or seeking caffeine.

💰 The deal: Get a free cookie with the purchase of any coffee.
🍪 If you haven’t been to The Half Cookie yet, prepare to be wowed. This isn’t just a cookie counter — it’s a full-on dessert experience, run by Danielle Velez, who’s built a cult following of The Half Cookie on TikTok and Instagram.
📍Located at The Street Chestnut Hill, The Half Cookie is the perfect pit stop if you’re in the mood for some shopping, meeting a friend, or just craving something indulgent. Their cookies are thick, gooey — and now yours, for free, when you grab a coffee and show your B-Side membership pass.
☕ Their drink menu is no afterthought. Iced espresso drinks with flavor swirls, matcha lattes, cold brew with homemade syrups — it’s a fully tricked-out coffee bar for when you want something fun and functional.
THE LINEUP’S DAY SHIFT

💰 The deal: Get a free protein ball with any espresso drink at Day Shift (valid until August 1).
🥯 Day Shift is your new mid-week go-to when you need a nutritious pick-me-up and a serious caffeine boost before a day at the office. Situated on the mezzanine floor of the Winthrop Center, it’s part of The Lineup, a food hall curated by Michelin-starred chef John Fraser.
🥚 Their egg sandwiches are the kind you dream about. Soft scrambled eggs meet brioche buns and melty cheese — and their pastries are equally dreamy. Our rec? Try the frittata brioche breakfast sandwich.
☕ The coffee bar delivers lux options like oat‑milk lattes, cold brew, and espresso-based drinks featuring rotating seasonal syrups. Whether you're retreating from your desk or fueling up for a day of downtown sightseeing, Day Shift is the perfect blend of bright vibes and big flavors.
🚨Thanks for reading! Warning: The use of these perks may cause extreme happiness and, likely, noticeable levels of caffeination.
💜 Special shoutout to our partners. The only thing we love more than coffee and a sweet treat cream is a good deal, so you’ve made our July complete.
