- Shut Up & Write!® – Saturdays at Bloc Cafe in Somerville (Union Square)Bloc Cafe, Somerville, MA
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
- We are usually inside at the long tables towards the back of the cafe.
- Seating is limited. It's a public cafe so there's not much we can do about this.
- The space is very air-conditioned, so you may want to bring a sweatshirt or something warm for extra comfort!
- You might want earplugs and/or headphones since they often play lively music at the cafe.
