50 Best Cafes near Belmont

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

“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!)“

“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 :)“

“This place was amazing the bubble tea 10/10. My dad really liked their ice cream. Although it’s a bit quiet could use some friendly music. Adorable decorations the staff was very very friendly. I love this place so much.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly all the drinks and ice cream is amazing recommend!“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“I started going here in 2020 and slowly became obsessed. Best bakery and cafe in Somerville. The vibes of the staff are phenomenal but additionally the food and tea are to die for. I always get the London fog with vanilla and the vegan egg cheddar sandwich. Don’t forget to try to banana tajin muffin!!“

“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.“

“Nestled in Union Square is Maprang Café. Cute and cozy Asian café with endless pastry and sweet options. I have walked by this place a few times and was thrilled to finally try it and it wasn’t super busy when I walked in. I ordered the pumpkin spice latte and it was so delicious! The perfect amount of spice and a creamy finish. The food options also looked really pretty and colorful. I will mention the price points for the food options seemed a little pricey for the size and amount, but that is just my personal opinion. It is an adorable café and overall had a nice experience during my first visit.“

“Delicious, Yummy, Friendly, Locally owned, with baking ingredients specialities! We’re so happy to have this warm and inviting place around the corner from where we live. #support local !!“

“I absolutely loved my experience here. my wife and I went this past weekend for the first time for our anniversary and we left having a new favorite place in Boston. The menu is completely vegan and absolutely delicious. We ordered the Chunk steak, the short ribs, the maple boneless wings, a martini and a mocha latte. everything was so good and their house made vegan ranch is the best vegan ranch I've had to date. All of the staff was incredibly warm, welcoming and attentive. The restaurant itself is small but comfortable and enjoyable. Don't let this place pass you by, it's incredible“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“Why so much plastic?
Even if you stay at "Sorelle" to eat and drink: plastic rulez!
I don't think that's "sustainable".

There ARE porcelain mugs...but you have to SPECIFICALLY request them.

The coffee itself? Fab!
The toasts and the sandwishes: too!!“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“Nice pastry’s and good location“

“Incredibly busy for breakfast. It was hard to find a seat. Pastries were really good. I had a breakfast croissant and it was good, but ordered the egg over easy and it wasn't runny, and the croissant was over toasted for me on the ends.“

“🥲I really loved it here. If you come here you will be really inspired. So I highly recommend you to come and visit.“

“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!“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“After living nearby for more than a year, I finally visited Bikeeny Caffe this week. The pastries were delightful! My favorites were the Italian cheese blend pastry and the honey pecan pastry in the photo I’ve included. The employees were cheerful and kind. I plan to return at least once every week!“

“Very smooth and fresh medium roast hot coffee, which comes out right after you order it with a smile! Lots of options for breakfast - from healthy to pastries. Warm and calm atmosphere if you need a quick stop on the way to the office or from the hotel.

Prices are reasonable but slightly higher than other places, as it's downtown.“

“Though I have not been to the Cafe in person, the sandwich I had from there was one of the best I have ever eaten! Can't wait to go in person. 5 stars.😋“

“Stopped in and glad I did. Great breakfast choices and amazing coffee. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I went to this cafe while visiting my sister on several trips because the coffee is so good and reasonably priced. My latest visit to Boston I went again to this cafe and was blessed to be given the most beautiful latte! It made my day! I felt so honored to have such a lovely latte. The barista’s at George Howell are trained well but this Barista who made my latte is the best I have seen.“

“Cute place and yummy baked goods as well as sandwiches and salads for lunch!“

“Would give it 10 stars if I could! Fabulous place

Kid-friendliness: From their website: "Most of our game collection is geared toward people ages 10+, but we do have a small selection of kids’ games that can be brought out on request."“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“This spot has some solid, delicious, unique, and well-curated sandwiches. The taj mahal sandwich has some of the best egg salad fillings I've ever tasted and the turkey town pressed panini was perfectly toasted —yet soft, and very flavorful.

I'm not much of a coffee person but my partner is a coffee snob and thought that their brown sugar latte was delicious, which is not to be taken lightly from her. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area to try more slapping sandwiches (and coffee for her).“

“love this place best croissant ever feel like I m in 🇫🇷“

“I stopped by Tate twice during my 4 day visit. They have a huge selection of pastries, cakes and baked goods. Their menu is extensive. I enjoyed my savory French toast. If I had a bigger stomach, I would love to try their sweet French toast because it looked amazing on someone’s table!!! I loved the new drink “Ginger date latte with oat milk”. It had such good flavor. I only wish the milk was thoroughly steamed, but it was only lukewarm. But, overall, I like Tatte a lot and would definitely return when I visit Boston next time.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a lift inside their restaurant.“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“Brand new café and wine bar with dual personalities. During the day (until 3PM), it operates as a coffee shop offering classic espresso drinks, plus matcha and tea options for non-coffee drinkers. I enjoyed their lavender latte with homemade syrup.

In the evening (reopening at 5PM), it transforms into a wine bar with an unpretentious, neighborhood-friendly atmosphere.

Currently, it's a peaceful spot perfect for enjoying a drink, getting some work done, or finding refuge from the winter cold.

The skylight provides beautiful natural lighting, while high ceilings create an airy, spacious feeling.

Parking: Standard Cambridge city parking around the block. In front, paid metered street parking.“

“This was so good!
I had a great experience at this place! I enjoyed the lamb breakfast and a cappuccino. The variety of choices is impressive, and the breakfast was simply delicious. The cappuccino came with adorable cat latte art, reflecting the staff's extra care and attention to detail. The place is well-designed and well-organized. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Boston.“

“Dado is the best kept secret in Cambridge. A beautiful café that feels so peaceful, considered and thoughtful in its every detail—the perfect place to sit with a friend, or take some time to just be alone and read a book. The co-owner Namwon has great energy. He was always really kind and welcoming to me and my boyfriend (we are from Australia, but Dado felt like a little slice of home). The food is really tasty (I could never go past their egg-salad sandwich; my partner loves the bibimbap wrap), and Dado, of course, has an amazing selection of teas. More than just feeding the body, all the meals felt like they were nourishing the soul. Just good honest cooking—maybe the rarest of things today. We’re about to leave Harvard this semester, and one of the great things we’ll miss is Dado.“

“Tried several Tatte and this one is special. Food is always perfect and if ever someone has taken my online order, the managers always assist and get is asap. Store is super clean and service is always special. I do like the small talk. Mary, Francesca Gm, Roselyn, Hector always know my order and drinks. Totally worth the daily trip.“

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.“

“I have been enjoying this cafe for a few years now and am still always happy with the truly friendly service along with some of the best sandwichs ever. This is comparing to other great delis around the city. Their salami, capocollo, and provolone with everything on it, on a freshly baked and grilled toasted baguette has to be honestly in my top 3 sandwiches I have ever had in my life.“

“Awesome food and the staff is friendly. Also the hometown Cafe atmosphere is great.“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

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

“Delicious food!!
Variety of fresh Chinese sweets. I also got very delicious Portuguese cake. Very good location, clean and super organized, lovely prices. Personal portions and to share, you can even transport them. Ideal to take as souvenirs! They have delivery! Puff pastry almond cookies are my favorites! They have products with green tea.“

“So sad. Today was their last day in Allston. Going to miss them...and their banana bread!“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“The food is good but don't look at the menu online because it is not what they offer.“

“Awesome little cafe that brought me back to how cafe’s should be. A space for people to meet, gather, and enjoy good food/drink. It’s absolutely not just a coffee shop. The kitchen with a full menu and baked goods are fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re in the Boston area.

Parking: Parking in Boston is difficult and these locations rarely have dedicated parking.“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“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“

“Came here a few times for breakfast and it was phenomenal. Big portions and a bang for your buck. Asian customer needs to be kinder to her granddaughter though. Granny slammed her little one's takeout on the table, got me thinking she probably failed a quiz in Elementary. She got good taste though.?“

“The cappuccino and croissants are amazing. Very friendly staff who seem to always aim to please. Very quick and efficient service with a smile. Nice local cafe with a few bar stools to relax with your morning cuppa.“
