Galaray House — Restaurant in Lexington

Beautiful space to relax and enjoy local arts.

I felt the espresso quality was among the top 3 I've had in MA (Clear Flour Bakery's cafe in Brookline has the best if you're really picky). The staff is the antithesis of the stereotypically conceited modern barista--they are super friendly. The white tables and huge windows give the place a light feel. I got a lemon scone for $4.50 and 12 oz cappuccino for $6. The Lexington/Concord/Lincoln area was really lacking a high end cafe to do some reading/work and this...
