Sip, Savor, & Create at Fabulist
Winter Hours Update:
Starting December 24, 2023, Fabulist Café will be temporarily closed throughout the winter months — but fear not, we’re aiming to reopen in the spring. We’re taking a pause during the slower winter months as an opportunity to reinvent some new offerings for our café and look forward to sharing updates soon.
In the meantime, we encourage our community to continue using the café seating for writing, reading, or just to enjoy the scenic view whenever Porter Square Books: Boston Edition is open.
Stay tuned to this page for more updates as we'll be sharing news about our reopening later in the year. Keep warm and keep writing!
About Fabulist:
Fabulist is more than just a café offering delicious coffee and snacks — it's a hub for creatives and book lovers alike. Located in the heart of Boston's Seaport neighborhood on the first floor of GrubStreet’s Center for Creative Writing, Fabulist serves coffee and espresso, tea, simple breakfast and lunch items, snacks, and in the evening, beer and wine.
Hosting a beautiful scenic view of the harbor and nestled beside Porter Square Books: Boston Edition, Fabulist provides an inspiring space to fuel your most creative work, relax into a great read with a signature espresso drink, or gather with friends over beer and wine after work (or your workshop).
Fabulist is owned and operated by GrubStreet, and we can't wait to host the whole community, including at GrubStreet events on our Writers' Stage.

"GrubStreet, one of the most prominent creative writing centers in the country, has opened a new cafe in Boston’s Seaport District. Fabulist, located on the first floor of the GrubStreet Center for Creative Writing since February, is both a coffee joint where you could lose your day in a book and a space for mingling with a glass of wine after a late-night author reading. It’s also a creative hub for writers to work and collaborate." — GBH News, Arts & Culture
