ORGANIC FOR COMMUTERS
Thursday, June 19
Red Line commuters at Cambridge's Porter Square Station are starting to figure out how lucky they are. A few months ago, the little coffee and muffin shack inside the station, called Cold and Hot, changed hands.

While the look is the same, everything else has gone fresh, organic, and homemade. Somerville native Jason Faulkner, 25, who has just returned from living in China, bakes treats like raspberry almond sour cream cake and ham and cheese scones daily, often at the request of customers. He also makes fresh fruit smoothies ($3.99), serves Asian specialties like aloe juice ($2.75), and squeezes and bottles fresh juice ($2.99). Faulkner brews Jim's Organic Coffee from West Wareham (try the excellent vanilla rooibos latte), and Tea Zone tea from Somerville.

The stand is starting to attract hungry neighbors who have no intention of hopping on a train. Cold and Hot, Porter Squre Station, Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
