50 Best Coffee Shops near Auburndale

“Love my cappuccino They make the best !“

“The guy that works the shift around 3pm- he goes above and beyond with his service skills.
Very unusual for a dunkin to have such a friendly, personable, makes the right coffee the right way with a smile every time! Good job tall young man with a beard!

Kid-friendliness: Its dunkins, always kid friendly (donuts attract kids)“

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“Glazed Bytes Coffee is selling itself short by being tucked inside a tiny, painfully forgettable mall in Brookline. The coffee itself? Not forgettable at all.

We ordered two Cloud Foam Lattes (I think that was the name), and that foam was ridiculous in the best way possible. It sits somewhere between an absurdly fluffy marshmallow and canned whipped cream, except smoother, creamier, and somehow lighter at the same time. I genuinely have no idea how they made foam feel “luxurious”, but there we are.

The coffee underneath actually held its own too. Strong flavour, unique profile, not just another Instagram café trying to survive off aesthetics and oat milk. Properly good coffee.

Honestly, the mall needs them more than they need the mall. Places like this drive foot traffic way harder than another random clothing shop nobody remembers walking into. More food spots. More cafés. More reasons for people to actually stay there.

Really good spot. Hidden gem energy.“

“Best cortado that I have had in Boston for sure. Such a great coffee shop. Love the cleanliness and decoration as well.“

“The type of breakfast sandwich that really gets me out of bed on a weekend. Would love for them to open a location in back bay (please) but I'm willing to traverse multiple blocks for this. It can get super busy but I ordered online ahead of time. No seating but could easily sit on a stoop or the curb or a bench nearby because it's in a cute neighborhood too. The Fancy sandwich is a top 2 contender for my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Boston“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“This place has the best coffee in town. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Lunch menu is just as good. Cookies, scones and muffins are all delicious. The owners Peter and Siri bend over backwards to please their customers. The register and serving crew Lisa and Isabel are great.“

“Nice place to grabe something and go! They place itself is kind of small, so I wouldn't count on getting a seat. The staff is chill and friendly. We got the Feta and Cheese, Pepper Biscuit with sausage, and ice cortado with oat milk, and a mocha with maple brown sugar. The food was good, and the coffee was pretty soild. Kinda pricey though.“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“Delicious, sweet AND savory crepes as well as great coffee, all served up in a lively atmosphere, with great service - people are so warm and welcoming. Friday night Poetry Reading is deeply enjoyable, informative and I love the hugs once people see you’re a familiar face- a genuine upbeat local community. Cambridge is lucky to have such a place. 👆🏽🎉“

“Deliciousness!!! You made my day! 😁🌯“

“Been here a couple times now and it's a necessary stop on the way to the library (where they have an in-house cafe too!). Drinks are delightful and fun and not too sweet. There really isn't any seating so it's mostly a take-out spot but the library has outdoor seating :)“

“Great food and coffee and tea! Friendly staff! Beautiful atmosphere with lots of light and pleasing design.“

“I am currently eating a raisin scone from The Studio Café, and it is absolutely delicious. I don't usually go for raisins, but this is such a delicious pastry.“

“I had a wonderful time here. The atmosphere was calm and cozy, and it was nice and cool inside, making it the perfect place to relax. The staff members were also incredibly friendly. I was so touched that they served a piece of Turkish delight with my Turkish coffee—what a thoughtful touch! Thank you for such a great experience!“

“Highly recommend stopping by Wicked Cafe in Somerville! Coffee ☕️, tea 🫖 , food 🍲 and hospitality are top notch! Mike was fantastic! 🤩👍🏽“

“My first time in and we will be back! The smells! The food! And of course the best coffee. We loved the vibe and the different seating options. Great way to step away from the chaos and into a different world for a beat.“

“This place is the absolute best. I come here weekly with friends and could talk about why I love it all day. Highly, highly recommend. Some highlights:
-incredibly friendly staff who make you feel comfortable and at home
-delicious food and beverages, with fun monthly/seasonal specials and excellent vegan friendly options
-impeccable cozy vibes. Just perfect for a relaxing morning
-often bring other friends and visitors here, who all love it too“

“We had our wedding cake designed and baked at Luna's Bakery and we HIGHLY recommend. They executed our vision beautifully and were a pleasure to work with. The cake was delivered on time and without any issue, the team is quick to respond, and our guests could not stop talking about the brigadeiro flavor. We had a three tier cake with a vintage design. Stop by Luna's Bakery to try all their delicious flavors and get a coffee while you're there. We can't wait for our first anniversary to have our top tier!!“

“I don’t say this lightly — but Koreamomma just ruined all desserts for me

I’ve had a lot of cheesecakes, but this? This is next level. The kind of dessert that surprises you the first time and still amazes you every single time after.“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“Terrific atmosphere. Everything about the inside and the offerings, on paper, communicates a love of coffee and excellence. I will say, the pourover (both wave and v60) tastes bad. I'm can't tell if it's the roast or the brew settings/technique, but it would be a good idea to for the head roaster and head barista to dial in their settings. There are clear markers of specialty coffee in the cup, but the bitterness and grassy-ness are overwhelming and manifest as faults.“

“Great close by coffee shop. Loved it.“

“Delicious fresh authentic Liège waffles! Service was friendly and fast , highly recommended !!“

“I loved hanging out there.“

“Previously known as Rite Tea & Espresso. They have amazing specialty drinks. I'm swooning over the smoked maple latte and black sesame latte. Cute small place (they expanded a bit compared to before) and the people there are super friendly. It's also inside the Charles River Speedway, which is a nice fun open area in the summer“

“Solid ground cafe has one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. My son has frequent inpatient stays at Childrens. This is the perfect quick walk to get a great breakfast and coffee.“

“This has amazing hot chocolate. Worth trekking too on an 80 degree humid day. The hot chocolate is creamy, smooth, rich, and sweet. The gentlemen who made mine was very kind and friendly, possibly the owner? A few more people behind me ended up asking for hot chocolate as well. I highly recommend this place, which also has a great food selection as well!

“I live in Bar Harbor, Maine, and one of my guests staying with us offered me a homemade bagel from this establishment. It's one of the best poppy seed bagels I've had in a long time, and the homemade chive cream cheese pairs so perfectly with the smoked salmon. It made my day eating this bagel after work. I love lox. It's one of the sweetest gifts a guest has ever given me. 💕 When I travel the coast looking at lighthouses this winter, this bagel shop will definitely be on my places to stop. Alan is a great supporter and saleman! I'm happy to have met him and have him as one of my guests. Great memory, I'll keep with me. Thanks Alan 😊😊“

“I don’t drink coffee and trying to find someplace that has good Matcha can be challenging I have found often times fast food franchise places will serve what they think is Matcha or the equivalent of Lipton‘s and it’s not even actually Lipton’s. It might be GLipton’s or The Temu version of Matcha this place is absolutely amazing. I want to live in their lobby.“

“I really like this cake shop and have been here several times. The cakes are really nice—light, elegant, and not too sweet, with very delicate flavors. The bread is also great and all very reasonably priced.

The staff are friendly and polite, and I always leave with a good impression. If you’re nearby, it’s easy to stop by since there’s street parking along the road.

It’s a French pâtisserie, but I’d especially recommend it to Japanese customers as well—the flavors feel very familiar and approachable.“

“Great coffee & some of the best breakfast sandwiches in all of Boston“

“Woke early this morning to get in a few bakery stops before my tart class later today … and @the.emporio.ma in Stoneham is the absolute star of my product research field trip! A completely adorable young-ish Italian baker (with a familiar familial accent😉) creates the most lovely and wonderfully tasting delicacies from her homeland where she was a baker in Turin. I highly recommend this off-the-beaten track little bakery that exudes the love of Italian cooking that I grew up with… smells divine! This bakery is located in Stoneham but I overheard her saying that she is looking for a larger place soon. Yay! I love seeing people with passion that produce excellent products do well! Brava!! Brava!! I’ll be back!“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“Good matcha and savory croissants are awesome“

“Cake order review only: easy to inquire about a cake online. Easy payment once we discussed the vision of the cake. And easy pickup. BEAUTIFUL CAKE. The cake was $90 for a heart shaped 2 layer cake with vintage piping, vegan vanilla with vegan vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam filling. I didn’t get the filling but was refunded immediately and the person handling the situation was so nice. I had asked why the darker icing tasted to chemically and they informed that the more they use the dye the more it tastes like it. So I would just skip that completely. Get the lighter frostings. Because like I said these are beautiful cakes and the cake itself is a good texture and flavor as a vegan cake.“

“This is my go to place for donuts. Very fresh and delicious. friendly service as well.“

“Got recommended a flat white after drinking cappuccinos for the last 5 years, and haven’t gone back - thank you, knowledgeable baristas :) Best local coffee shop there is.“

“Exceptionally friendly and customer-focused staff. Staff exceptionally friendly with superb customer service. If you’re looking for a rich, frothy, perfectly crafted cappuccino, look for Melissa!“

“Always loved the staff and vibe here. They've never failed and always make the community a better place especially in an elitist sort of area like this.

Just really disheartened the mocha went up to $7.50 before tax, I cannot believe it after so many years of reasonable pricing.

As someone who splits their time between Watertown / Cambridge and Seattle in Washington state, I have yet to find another cafe crafted mocha set at the price of $7.50 between both coasts.“

“yummy breakfast potatoes with perfect seasoning. delicious. you will leave full, happy and ready for a nap. blt sandwich was a masterpiece“

“Really liked the vibes and menu of this cafe! My favorite things were the ube basque cake and their spinach burek, and I would totally come back just for those 2 items alone. I have a pistachio allergy, which makes it usually hard for me to navigate Turkish food but the staff was so nice and reassuring that there would be no contamination. They also have quite a lot of seating and a work/study cafe vibe which makes me excited to come back during the semester! Location is also super convenient right at the Back of the Hill stop on the E line.“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“Awesome food, and a great selection of gluten-free baked goods. Not overpriced. The service can be slow at times but the quality of the food and the service more than makes up for it. I live a few minutes from S. Natick, and the place has been a lunch and meeting go-to spot for me for 20 years.“

“I visited the tea shop while visiting family nearby to check out their selection of oolong teas from Taiwan. The staff helped me pick out a few choices. I was blown away by a couple of the teas and was surprised when I looked back at my receipt. Very fair prices for the level of tea. Highly recommend.“

“Loved eating breakfast here“

“I ordered a Power Boost bowl through DoorDash and overall the bowl itself was delicious. Upon receiving it, I discovered it contained walnuts (which I have an allergy to) and the ingredient info on DoorDash did not list walnuts. I reached out to the store and they immediately updated the ingredient info and offered to remake the bowl, which I really appreciated.

After looking into this further, my bigger concern is with DoorDash. There is currently no option during the ordering process to list a food allergy or request an ingredient be removed. The only note option available relates to substitutions if an item is unavailable, not allergy information.

If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, I would highly recommend ordering directly through the store rather than through DoorDash so you can communicate those concerns directly and the restaurant can handle them accordingly because the bowl itself is absolutely worth trying!“

“Amazing Staff, amazing food !!! If You’re in Harvard Sq. don’t miss out!“

“We were visiting from out of town and were recommended by a friend to try this cafe out. It was absolutely amazing. The prices were extremely reasonable and the pastries themselves were fantastic. They looked incredible and tasted wonderful. I was able to get a decent London Fog in Boston (which is something I had a hard time finding). I got a coffee bean pastry which had an amazing chocolate/coffee mousse flavor (and texture)! My son got a cinnamon roll which he loved. My other son was having a hard time choosing and the person behind the counter was so sweet and gave him a cream filled pastry that they had extras of. This cafe is high end, but without the high end price tags. If I’m ever in Boston again, I will definitely come back. 1000% would recommend.“
