The venues that make up the Boston Area Coffeehouse Association are intimate, friendly, informal, smoke-free places to hear the best of contemporary and traditional folk music. Each venue is non-profit and volunteer-run, with surprisingly reasonable ticket prices. Most serve hot and cold beverages of the season and tempting home-baked desserts.
