Popular in little Allston, Mass., Bee’s Knees Supply Co. has local students pumped for going out to eat. This local hole-in-the-wall is known for their classic café eats, but they have far more than that. A large portion of the building within the café is home to some fun specialty foods to take home.
Located just off the B Line on the border of Allston and Brighton, Bee’s Knees is easy to access. This little shop helps to bring a more local and organic option to college students looking to do their full on grocery haul, or just buy a snack for later that day.

This place immediately has a fun and eclectic vibe to it when you walk in. The “Insta-famous” Allston marquis on the wall to the right, and the quaint little succulent section to the left gives the place personality, and makes you want to put all of it on your snap story.

More than just the snack food, there is also a sizable produce section. With luscious lettuce and appetizing avocados, walking over to the fresh fruits and vegetables will have you craving a fresh salad (conveniently located right there).
