OpenCoffee is touted as “a place for people who love startups to hang out and meet.”  That pretty well describes OpenCoffee Boston which takes place every Thursday morning from 10:00 AM to noon at Andala Coffee House.  Andala is located in Central Square at 286 Franklin Street, Cambridge, MA.

This event has been going on for a little over a month, and I’ve spent at least a little time at most of them.  The environment is quite friendly, the coffee is quite good, and I always come away having learned a thing or two.

Attendance is generally strong, and has grown slightly since it’s started.  The crowd is mostly made up of web-oriented entrepreneurs, but there are folks with all sorts of backgrounds.  I’ve spotted at least one venture person in attendance.

The coffee is good, the environment is very informal (no name tags!), and it’s easy to pop in and out just to catch up and say hello.  Some people even work away on their laptops through the entire event.

So, if you’re remotely near Central Square and thinking about grabbing a coffee, come on by, meet a couple people, see a demo, hear about a new idea, or just enjoy a cup of coffee!
