The longtime coffee business, which has shops and a roastery on the Cape, is expanding onto the mainland.

BRAINTREE, MA — A coffee shop and roastery that’s been a staple on Cape Cod for over half a century will soon open a branch in Braintree.

Cape Cod Coffee Co. plans to open its first location in the Boston area next month at South Shore Plaza, according to the MetroWest Daily News and the mall's website.

The Mashpee business launched in 1970 – a year before industry behemoth Starbucks came along. In 2015, Cape Cod Coffee sold to Jan and Pam Aggerback.
