Diesel Cafe

For those of you who may be interested, here is a little scoop on our story… Co-owners Jennifer Park and Tucker Lewis were a sprightly 18 and 26 when they first met behind the counters of a now defunct ice cream shop in Harvard square. It was behind those counters that the idea of Diesel was first conceived. Mostly, it seemed more a fantasy than a reality – a land where we would drink coffee all day long, work with people we loved, respect the people with whom we worked and hopefully create a strong community along the way. Our ultimate goal was to simply serve enough customers to keep our doors open for a while and allow us the chance at this ideal. But, if ever there were a story of how not to do something, it would be the tale of opening Diesel Cafe.
