Coolidge Corner

I love Coolidge Corner! A beautiful gem of a town right outside Boston. Has cute little stores, coffee shops, pizza places, liquor store, dessert places, restaurants from all countries and a movie theater that is for true intellectuals! I highly recommend visiting Coolidge Corner for fun!

Fantastic!
You can order tickets a head of time. I recommend this, because CC gets busy. We were 15 minutes early to the movie, and we still ended up towards the front row. The seats are comfy, the theatre screen is HUGE. Lot’s of character.

Awesome place in Brookline, tons of shops, restaurants

Fun area! Great theater, some good options for food on the same street as it. Also, there’s that pretty big trader joes there!

I just moved close to Coolidge Corner from Boston and I’m really happy with the Neighborhood. Coolidge Corner will become my major neighborhood shopping and dining district.
Some older people I’ve met here lament the loss of individually owned restaurants and other businesses, but coming from my standpoint I’ve got to say that I find a plethora of interesting non-​corporate owned shops and eateries. The greenline zips into Boston in just a few minutes from the Coolidge Corner stop, which resembles an old time train depot. From this newcomer’s perspective, Cooldige Corner is full of convenience, charm and is more pleasant than most downtown districts. Tree-​lined Beacon Street is charming to look at when walking or riding in a car or the greenline.

Used to be a great place to take a nice walk, however in the past several years Coolidge Corner has really become dull. It was sad when McDonald’s, Barnes and Noble closed as they provided a place to hang around.
Seems every time something goes out, another bank rolls in. If only more restaurants/​eateries and specialty shops would come in and replace some of these banks.

I grew up in Coolidge Corner and I still love it today. It has changed a lot. The McDonalds brought a lot of much needed realness to CC. It also made CC smell like rotten hamburgers in the summertime… oh wait, for some reason it still smells like rotton hamburgers 7+ years later. In McD’s place is now a high traffic Panera & a gourmet hipster pizza kitchen.
sure, its more corporate, more yuppy, way more hipster, and slightly more pretentious than in my time living there and whatever edge CC once had has been stripped of it one CVS and bank at a time. It also was a sad day when they closed the barnes and nobles an replaced it with an $ 80 per month women’s only gym but CC will always be that special place to me.

Good prices and amazing wings! My buddies and I come here every once in a while to eat as many wings as we can and have drink or two while watching sports. Great atmosphere and have I mentioned their delicious food.

It was snowing when I was staying in this area and it was pretty!
A lot of food choices but not a lot of GOOD food choices. A lot of the places were just ok in terms of food. I did like one of the Thai places because it served a Northeastern dish that is hard to find in the US in general — especially Los Angeles (which contain the most Thais)
The train is perfect to go to and from the area.
Trader Joe’s…
Walgreens right across from a CVS!
Great little college area.

This is the best sports bar in the area. We stopped by for happy hour to eat and the food portions are out of control. The manager greeted us and suggested we order a half order of nachos to spilt for the 6 of it. He was right the half order was extremely big. Next I got a Ted Williams burger that had cheese and onions and it was very good. The fries where amazing and I couldn’t finish them. They have a nice beer selection with a good selection of local beers.
If you are within walking distance make sure to come by for a drink and some food.

This one of my favorite neighborhoods in the Boston area, yet it I visit it so rarely due to Dorchester being on the other side of the world by train. And who wants to drive? I love love the theater, I can never decide if it rises above Kendall or if they tie. The restaurant selection is quite wonderful, including Curry House (go for their wonderful lunch buffet) and Fugakyu (try the Una-​Coco Makimono). Peet’s is always the better alternative to Starbucks and I’ve done homework in the gigantic Panera Bread (especially on the outdoor/​indoor front patio in the spring).
I always look forward to returning.

For 4 years I lived off Babcock Street that lead right into Coolidge Corner. We moved this summer to Newton and I am having Joni Mitchell style reflection about ‘you don’t know what you got ’till it’s gone.’
I miss the restaurants, coffee shops, little parks, book store, and movie theater. Hell, I even miss the sex shop in the back parking lot along Harvard Street. I miss having a craving for fro yo and walking for it on a hot summer’s night. I miss getting off the T, stopping in Trader Joe’s for some dinner and 2 buck chuck before walking home. I miss tacos, bagels, falafel, crepes, book signings, and colorful protests.
I am just a few miles away but it’s a different world. Now it’s a chore to go since parking can be a pain but it’s worth it. I miss my lovely coolidge corner.

Fun, safe area… great for walk around summer evenings, or even in the fall. Lots of great little local shops. A great part of Brookline, and great for the T.

What’s not to love about Coolidge Corner. There are tons of great restaurants, it’s a very respectable neighborhood with little crime (for being in the city), and there is a ton of stuff to do in that area. Definitely a great palce to live if you can afford it. It gets minus 1 star because it uses the Green Line, which is the worst.

Coolidge is just cute.
It really is a great place to bring people or be a local. You can go to a non-​commercialized movie theater, my gym, Trader Joe’s, small retail shops, coffee shops, etc etc. I’m still exploring the restaurants of Coolidge, but there’s so much to explore!
The location is also great. You can easily get here from the city and vice versa. When I lived on Beacon in Boston I would make the easy walk to Coolidge frequently. Every time I needed a present for anyone I would venture out and meander through the shops until I found something.
Now that it’s the site of my test centers, I spend a good amount of time out here. Every six months I spend a lot of time studying in the coffee shops before, hours taking my exams, and a big purge fest at TJ’s after (345 083 408 appetizers, cheese, crackers, and three bottles of wine frequently accompany me home).
I love the neighborhood feel of Coolidge and will return frequently. But dearest Coolidge, you need a bar. Please? Just one?

If there is a spot that is a candidate for the center of the universe, in my book, Coolidge Corner is it.
Where to start? OK Location. Boston (OK, Brookline, but you knew that) right on the C line, with bus service also available. Among the many spots there is: an awesome grocery store, pastry shop, book seller, movie house, ice cream, I could go on and on. Family friendly if you have little ones and always busy. You are sure to find something fun to do here.

Coolidge Corner is without a doubt one of my favorite parts of Boston (technically Brookline. I know), second only to the Back Bay.
Coolidge is great because it offers a wide variety of food, has retail shops, and wonderful coffee shops and a move theater. Being that I work in Longwood it’s an added bonus that I get to walk to work every day. With Kenmore, Washington Square and Cleveland Circle in such close vicinity the options are endless and let’s face it — the C line is worlds better than the B. This may stem from my time in Allston and wild hatred for the B… but I’m sticking with it. You can also hop on the 66 if you want to head to bars in Allston or hang out in JP.

I think this is one of my favorite hoods in Boston:
+ perfect for a Sunday walk around with your boo
+ a «short» ride away from Boston on the «more reliable» C line
+ a perfect mix of Russian and Jewish folk, the mean babyskas vs. the Beis Yakov girls
+ Baazar, Trader Joes, Butherie, Panera, Booksmith, Jewish stores, Russian stores, several kosher places on one street. You can even buy yourself some satisfaction at the Good Vibrations store.
+ clean and semi nice roads (in comparison to the rest of the city)
+Coolidge Corner Theater
+Nice Brookline Police doing their job = no bums and homeless people. Nothing against them, but I like not being hassled for change.
+Doggies everywhere, but no poop lying around. Responsible owners.
— 2 CVSs, Walgreens and Gap
–This place does get overran with stay at home mothers and their little bratty kids in their $ 2500 dollars double sided triple decker strollers. I just dont like bratty kids. And the fact that they take up the whole sidewalk and I have to walk behind while listening to how Kaleb, Chase or Madison had such a hard time pooping last night.
Overall, Id move here, but cant rely on the green line.
But I visit CC quite often.

High sushi: all other restaurants ratio?
The non-​smelly, relatively respectful, more reliable C line?
A Trader Joe’s that serves liquor?!
Overpriced but totally gorgeous stationary?
Indie movie theater?
Nutella Lattes?
What more could you want, really?

Nice shops/​restaurants and the coolidge corner theatre is right there
