Cafes near Bedford

“What a treat! Panera provided a tasty spread for is at the Beth Israel in Lexington a few weeks ago. Delicious muffins and various pastries that didn't last long. Thank you very much for your thoughtful gesture. L. Stenquist B.I. Lexington Shared Services Phlebotomy“

“From the delicious coffee to the beautiful desserts, you will be delighted by the goodies at Lulu’s Lunchbox! Try the falafel plate too - savory & delicious. Even better, you can find gluten free AND vegan treats!“

“great food, great service, and very friendly. worked with my nut allergy, which can be hard to find sometimes. Definitely worth check out if your in the area!“

“Adorable little cafe. Feels very mom-and-pop shop-like.There are tons of sandwich options and cofee and tea (I think I saw about a dozen flavors of Stash tea).They had muffins and homemade cookies. They were closing within the hour so maybe that’s why the case was pretty empty, but the cookies were gooey and soft. No complaints.Plenty of cooler drinks too (like four massive coolers).And the seating on the street out front is GORGEOUS. Look at those trees!Plenty of parking and the t is just across the street.“

“So nice, I went twice in one weekend!

Not to be dramatic, but their Pumpkin Spice Latte will change your life! Not the garbage 'pie spice' you get from other coffee shops, made with real pumpkin, this has a deep real-pumpkin flavor with a dash of pie spice making for the perfect fall beverage!

A friend had recommended it and I went in last Saturday and was so blown away, I met another friend there on Sunday! She is not a big pumpkin fan and even agreed how incredible this was! We both ordered avocado toast to go with it and that was delicious as well!

The staff here is so kind and helpful. We sat for a while and caught up and it was such a great vibe there.“

“One of our absolute favorite spots in town, we’re so lucky to have this in our community!“

“Yes, it's a chain store, but it doesn't feel like it. Inside is a charming rustic interior with plenty of soft seating, tables and chairs to accommodate the busiest of days.
A great meetup spot to chat with friends and family. Or, come alone, grab a window seat, and do some good old fashion people watching in downtown Concord. The coffee is good too!“

“Everything is amazing here.
I cannot get enough of the banana bread! Not too dry, not too moist. The quality ingredients make the flavor soooo good.
Highly recommended. Cozy dining area with plenty of tables. Bring your friends, bring a coffee date, bring your family... They will love it.“

“We knew we wanted Magic Bites to cater our family event and we were so pleased that we did! Atilla and Elif were helpful and patient planning the menu and everything was top notch delicious. They knew we had some allergies in the family and they made an extra effort to create large labels with all ingredients. I highly recommend them!!“

“I stumbled into this cozy little café on a rainy day without checking Google reviews, which I usually do. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm atmosphere and the friendly owner. The menu offers a nice selection of sandwiches and bagels. I ordered my usual hot caramel latte with oat milk, and it was delicious—not too sweet or over powered by the caramel but just having the underlying notes of it which is exactly what I love.“

“Adorable little café with indoor and outdoor seating behind the café. There is a limited amount of parking out front and they close around 6:30 so the parking ends around the time that they close. The store is fully accessible, they have a wide variety of looseleaf tea as well as Stash bagged tea. I got the Genmai cha.

I did one of the Bento boxes with pulled pork, tea eggs, edamame, rice, and veggies. It is absolutely delicious but definitely a little pricey. It was $19 for my tea and my food. But I do love the cafe and the people are super kind.

There is also a lot of knitting work that is for sale. Somebody there makes scarves and hats and such.

I really appreciate that they have notes all over the store and on the front door and on there to go bags reminding customers that they are going to be closed from August 26 until September 9. I really appreciate it when a business does right by their customers and make sure that they know That the place is open or closed. Thank you!

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“Love this cozy spot! The location is ideal either to sit in, outside, or take your goodies for a walk down to the pond. They have a large variety of meals as well as breakfast and bakery items. I love that they sell day old baked goods when they have them as well. They also have a huge variety of milk types to add to your coffee, and hot sauces for food at the 'coffee/creamer station'. They have events here too!“

“has the gluten free options I've been searching for and Fab coffee“

“Everything :), The homemade bread and rice pudding are amazing. The omelette is so flavorful. I’m eager to try more:) they make you feel welcome :)“

“Located in an Executive Office complex, Starburst Cafe is a business friendly modern cafe where omelettes and other heated breakfasts are made to order by a chef. After that it's self serve. They DO NOT take cash but they DO take credit cards and mobile payments.“

“Ordering is online only so I would recommend ordering about 15 minutes before your arrival.

Menu items are highly customizable which takes some time to fill out but return visits would take significantly less time.

Side items (bacon, hash browns) are fairly affordable but perhaps a bit skimpy in terms of portioning.

The coffee bar is simply amazing; allowing you to make your drink exactly how you like it.“

“This charming coffee shop is the perfect spot to warm up with a cup of coffee and a quick bite on a cold morning. The ambiance is laid-back, with soft music in the background and immaculately clean tables that invite you to relax. The menu features a wide variety of coffee and tea options, we sampled the latte and mocha—both rich and flavorful, a great start to the day.

For food, we tried the French Croque Madame and the ZenZest Tuna Toast, both of which were delicious and carefully crafted. The pastry selection is equally impressive, with everything looking irresistibly fresh. The Portuguese Pastel de Nata, while good, would benefit from a quick toasting before being served to bring out its full potential.

While the prices are on the higher side (in the case of the sandwiches doesn’t appear in the menu) the overall experience, from the friendly staff to the quality of the offerings, makes it a worthwhile stop. The convenience of accepting credit cards adds to the appeal of this cozy, inviting café.“

“today was the first time eating there, excellent service, the best home fries I have had so far.“

“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.“

“Came here on a Saturday morning to do some writing and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and breakfast. I ordered a latte and a Turkey Sausage Avocado breakfast burrito. The service was super pleasant across the board, and the location is staffed to help take care of orders, keep things clean, and deliver food to customers.

My burrito was massive and honestly quite tasty, filled with hot ingredients and had me filled up! The latte was good but nothing too special.

Overall this place seems really well managed, very friendly, and offers plenty of seating and space.“

“This cafe is the definition of amazing people and amazing food. They have my roommates and I’s orders memorized and always are so prompt with their service. Truly the definition of a small business that deserves attention and support from our community.“

“Slice of greek! We had a couple pastries with a mastha latte. Sweet and flavorful. The pastries were a highlight. Beautifully made, filling and served warm out of their hot holding display. Shelves of cookies and a display full of small fancy cakes.“

“egg sandwich beats take-out McDonald's, burger King, Wendy's. close to True North. I'm biased as it's walking distance for me. Mike trying“

“I have always had good experiences here until tonight. I came in and ordered my bubble tea and sat down to wait. 20 minutes went by and I asked when my drink would be ready and they didn’t know I had ordered, despite that I did in fact order with them. They apologized and refunded me and made my tea. After I left I realized there was no boba in the tea. I was the only one in the shop for the entire 30 minute trip. I will continue to go back here because the bubble tea is so amazing, but tonight was a disappointing and strange experience.“

“Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned cafe-bookstore combo? It’s awesome enough that we’ve got a bookstore back in Belmont Center, and the cafe really sweetens the deal. (Also the bear on the menu is bomb!)“

“The cranberry goat cheese salad was absolutely delicious! The quinoa bowl with Brussel sprouts too was one of the best I have ever tried it was made so well. Literally everything I have tried here is amazing including the cucumber pineapple coconut drink, the blueberry ginger iced tea, the orange ? drink as well. The desserts are heavenly, the seven layer bar the chocolate ganache brownie. Honestly you will not be disappointed everything is fresh and the owner is very knowledgeable. Many different options are available too!“

“Tried Salep today! Soooo tasty! It’s like eggnog in my mind: very creamy and lots of cinnamon and such. It does have a bit of a gritty, vegetable-like texture which is interesting.

I also tried a few pieces of baklava and a chocolate croissant.

The place is quite crowded, and parking is also tricky as the road is busy and the two hour free parking is usually quite full.

I had to move chairs in to be able to use my walker to get inside, and the tables and chairs are quite low, so I sat on my walker-seat instead of the sprawling chairs, but that meant I stuck out a bit (literally into the walkway).

BUT that’s likely because the food is good. The place was bustling indeed.

I waited 15-20 min for my drink and food to come, but I noticed there were MANY tiny-cupped drinks before mine.

Staff were friendly. The atmosphere feels very homey.

The Salep was my favorite. I also loved the chocolate baklava. I didn’t like the pistachio roll or the croissant (it was a bit burned on the bottom).

This came to $16, which was more
Than I expected. The baklava is $7, so I supposed the drink and croissant must have been about $5 each.“

“Dana helped us plan our girls baptism and got every detail perfect and the food was incredible. She went above and beyond to make the day special for us and we could not be more grateful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using for our future events!“

“I loved every single bite! I used to frequent “Andros” and was so bummed when it closed. I’m so glad “My Other Kitchen” is here—especially with the same salad dressing which is amazing on its own! I plan to eat my way through their menu—everything looks scrumptious! ❤️“

“I first tried this place while working at one of the businesses in the industrial park in which it is situated. But I’m pretty sure anyone can eat here during hours of operation. There was a hot grill with rotating daily specials as well as fresh cold sandwiches and grab&go items. Prices were reasonable and the location is very convenient to the nearby businesses.“

“has the gluten free options I've been searching for and Fab coffee“

“I went to revival for the first time to grab something small for late breakfast.
the inside is so adorable and pretty, the staff were all so kind and cheerful, and there was little to no wait getting my order. Overall just such a nice place! Definitely recommend!“

“So delicious!! Their cakes, breakfast sandwiches and scones are so good. I can’t wait to try their coffee next time I visit. Highly recommend“

“I find no problems with the staff here. They are always cheery and helpful. I do think there could be some efficiency improvements and the wait times are a little long and a bit pricey for cafeteria food. But otherwise food is generally decent and selection is variably good to very good.“

“Great place for home cooked food. Always a very friendly and professional atmosphere. Sharon's daughter Stephanie sometimes works the counter and I will say she is just as friendly/professional. Also not bad on the eyes if I do say so myself.“

“I contacted Drew to cater a painting party for my daughters upcoming wedding. I ordered sandwiches and salads for the event. Everyone commented on how delicious and fresh everything was. The sandwiches were not skimpy.. they were generous with ingredients and sooo good. Don’t hesitate to use Cricket Catering…. You will be so happy did!!! Thank you Drew ?“

“Inviting and comfortable atmosphere with ample seating in 2 adjoining rooms! Many regulars. Simple breakfast menu but unique offerings. Waltham fog tea was delicious! Lunch begins at 11 am. Nice view of lush Waltham common. A little pricey.“

“I love tatte, the coffee/espresso is very good. Their pastries are delicious and fresh. I’ve given 5 stars because my review should not in any way affect the business itself.

I do have to preface, I work in the service industry, I understand that hiring a training staff is difficult and I’m always patient while people are learning and never short or irritated when a mistake is made. I come here a lot despite the mistakes that happen often. It not the end of the world and it happens, No biggie, but If you point out the mistake made to the (assuming) manager (lady with glasses) you will be met with passive aggression and rudeness.

I pointed out that a drink was missed despite ordering it and she walks up to me and says “here’s your receipt” very snarky and rude and storms off all angry. There it said only “1 cold brew”. I’m very apologetic and say to the lovely person making the coffee (bc the “manager” stormed off) “I’m very sorry but there must have been a miscommunication and I did order two of the cold brew.” At no point did the manager return to ask if I would still like said item, she just brushed me off as if there was absolutely no possible way her employee made a mistake. I walk out after that only to realize they forgot my biscuit. (Which I paid for and was on the receipt she so smugly passed to me and ran away). I had to go back and get.

Turns out, her staff does make mistakes contrary to her dismissive belief. Other reviews on here have echoed the same issues with this specific manager. (Rude, short, dismissive). I hope she has a better day :)“

“Thank you so much to Twist Bakery for their amazing generosity! A parent from our school had contacted them in regards to purchasing cookies for an event we have at the school for several children who have allergies. Twist and their staff were so pleasant to deal with and more than generous in what they did for us. All the littles were so excited that there was an option for cookies at the event for them that was not only safe, it was extremely yummy! Thank you again Twist for making our school kids day and putting parents minds at ease. We will surely be spreading the word about you!“

“Drive by this place every so often, finally got a chance to stop by. The menu on the board is overwhelming, so much to look at between breakfast & lunch sandwiches. I decided to go basic- bacon, egg & cheddar cheese on an everything bagel. Sandwich was a little over $5, thought it was a bit much at first. When I took a bite, I understood why & was okay with paying that much. Real eggs, super cheesy, bagel was really good too. I would have loved if a little more bacon or a thicker quality, would have made the sandwich better. Will def be coming back to try another sandwich & coffee.“

“Awesome good food and awesome prices! Kid friendly and everybody is chill!“

“The website for this place is admittedly confusing, because they only really highlight their catering options. However, don’t let that stop you from heading to Newton to check this out!

Judith’s is best for lunch. They have an extensive sandwich menu, all of which I’ve tried are delicious. You can choose from their pre-designed suggestions or make your own. They also have a delightful glass case with fresh vegetable and pasta salad options.

If you’re looking for breakfast, you can find it here but the options are much more limited. They have a few pre-made egg-based wraps and sandwiches. The coffee and tea menu is basic, they have lattes and some nicer tea selections but nothing too wild.

They have a nice cookie, chip, and wine selection here. This is right off the highway, so truthfully it’s one of my favorite places to stop when I’m heading on a trip out of Boston and looking for something to eat on the way or a place to meet people if I’m picking anyone up.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options! You can do build your own sandwiches, so the options are limitless. They also have vegetable and pasta based salads in their cold case.

Parking: In the morning, it’s easy to find parking but in the afternoon and evening or on weekends it can be a bit tricky. There’s a paid lot diagonally across the street from them and some paid spots in front and around the corner.“

“Known for their coffee, but they have very earthy and delicious matcha too, and their latte art is impressive!

Fully accessible (though seating is a bit congested, so I didn’t stay to eat).

Friendly and efficient service.

Parking on both sides of street out front.

I do think, friendly advice, that the pastries would be more visually appealing with a touch of color. Everything was brown.

Maybe include a few items that naturally have some color: berries in a muffin or scone, lemon bars, seven-layer bars, macrons, etc, or decorate the case with some fresh picked herbs or flowers.

It just…everything on the counter was brown. As a baker and former cafe owner, I saw possibility :-).

The matcha with almond milk was good. I definitely would add honey next time as it was very not sweet, but it was good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible,“

“I was really impressed with how clean this place is! The worker was also really nice. I had the Green Wave smoothie and a Turmeric juice shot. Both tasted really fresh and refreshing.

Vegetarian options: They have a vegan protein powder option.“

“Noon on a Saturday we were able to get parking and got in and seated right away. This place is the perfect size. We had two omelettes and I had the 2222. Everything was really good, and those pancakes were amazing. Star of the place and I'd come back a dozen times just for those. All in all 5/5 glad we stopped by and we'll be back again!“

“Owners made it a point to speak with us. Very friendly and caring staff. The breakfast is better than any you’d find around. Will definitely return for breakfast again and also will try the lunch!! Give them a try!“
