50 Best Cafes near Braintree

“Probably the best food south of Boston, don't be fooled by the hidden location.“

“good spot to eat at while waiting for your car friendly people“

“Absolutely delicious! The thanksgiving sandwich was perfect, and she understood celiac and created a great and clean meal for a member of our party as well. People were more than helpful, food could not have been better!“

“Squash soup, with a sandwich my favorite lunch, even dinner! Tastes so delicious, clean flavors!! Can’t go wrong for take out to stay with healthy eating. Salads fabulous also.“

“I NEVER write reviews but Sasha at Portland Pottery warrants one. She is super knowledgable and helpful in problem solving kiln issues. She saved my sanity and 200 pieces of student work, phew! I hope the owners of this company know how incredible she is, thank you, thank you Sasha :)“

“I’m a huge bubble tea drinker and I love to try all different kinds of places. Let me tell you, Sweet Sip did not disappoint. While there I tried three drinks: the Assam black tea with honey boba, the rose milk tea (no topping), and the Vietnamese iced coffee. All three were delicious. The Assam was a great milk tea for anyone who likes it simple and nostalgic. Nice and sweet, but not too sweet. The rose milk tea was fragrant and delicious as well. In terms of the boba, they use honey boba, which is a nice choice; this gives them a good taste, which adds nicely to the teas. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also a nice surprise. If you’ve ever had the real deal form a Vietnamese restaurant, then you would know that the coffee flavor can be strong and extra bitter. For someone who loves coffee, but is a wimp with the bitterness, this iced coffee was just the right balance. It gets even better as your ice melts. Lastly. I tried some of their Hong Kong cakes, specifically the pandan flavored cake, and the mochi filling. It was heavenly… Crisp, sweet, and flavorful. I look forward to trying the other flavors. I don’t go to Boston too often, but I would definitely come back to try more drinks at Sweet Sip the next time I’m visiting.“

“Excellent food and very proffesional service. The best Catering company around.“

“I was back in Adams Village today (my old neighborhood) and as I crossed Gallivan Blvd, my 4 year old said “mummy!!!!!!! look at the smiley faced balloons!!!” I pulled over and asked the woman at the register if she would be willing to sell me one of the balloons with my coffee order. She immediately cut one off and gave it to my little boy. It made his day, and the wonderful banana hazelnut coffee made mine. ❤️“

“A very nice experience here.I walked into the store around 18:10 last night and didn’t expect they will take my order since I knew they had already closed,all the stuffs were busy cleaning up, one of the staff told me that they are closed of course lol, but another male staff with glasses walked up to the register and he was still willing to make me a drink. He’s so nice and I feel like I’m so lucky!! I’m really grateful that he didn’t let my trip be in vain. Btw, their lemonade is soooo good!!!“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“I had the Hot honey glazed chicken sandwich. It was the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had a lot of vegan sandwiches.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“10/10 HIGHLY Recommend Great Place!“

“The food is delicious and made with such care — every dish tastes fresh and flavorful. The pastries are outstanding — flaky, fresh, and just the right amount of sweetness. The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and helpful. A perfect spot for brunch, coffee, or a sweet treat. Highly recommend!“

“Visited this awesome cafe during my stay in Dorchester. The cozy atmosphere and the delicious selection of pastries and sandwiches made it one of the highlights of my trip! I loved the mexican chocolate spice cake, fruit bread pudding, and the strawberry almond bar.“

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

“It was amazing! So many games to choose from and the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is wonderful as well😊“

“Great variety in fantastic tasting bubble teas and mochinuts!“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“Amazing as always!! Staff and service wonderful.“

“Coleen will immediately make you feel part of her community. We popped in for brunch on a recommendation and we're so happy we did. Small town community feel in the heart of Brookline. Excellent food, fair pricing, owner operated; and you can see she's well loved in the community. I will always come back here if I'm in the area looking for a bite to eat and a break.“

“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“

“Coffee and drinks are absolutely amazing and the staff is super friendly!“

“Great staff. Food is great. They have bomb bar pizza. Very accommodating. They hosted my youth basketball team few weeks ago. A++++“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“I frequent Cannonball Cafe for coffee and to switch up my WFH atmosphere. The pastries, lattes, iced coffees, and toasts that I have tried have all been delicious, and I always look forward to getting to spend the day at Cannonball when I choose to work from there. I love how the team at Cannonball is always thinking of new and fresh ideas when it comes to drinks and events, from unique lattes to farmers markets on Sundays and a beautiful new patio, they have been a great addition to the neighborhood and it's fun and exciting to watch them grow and develop. Where Cannonball really shined recently is when I called to place a large cookie order for our wedding welcome party. Rachel was happy to take on the order on short notice, and made some of THE MOST delicious cookies I have ever had (chocolate chip with sea salt, snickerdoodle, and sugar cookies with sprinkles.) Our guests loved them, and the 50 cookies that we ordered were gone by the end of the night (and we only had 35 guests!) I would highly recommend Cannonball for a quick coffee, a nice work day vibe, or to bring desserts to for your next party or event!“

“Found the Seaport Cafe a short walk from the conference center. They are allergy friendly, the menu is clearly marked. Coffee is hot and left right at your table. The food was amazing! I had the 3 egg omelette and loved it. What a nice experience and so nice to get away from the crowds at the conference hotel!“

“Great people Great food thank you“

“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.“

“Cafe 180 Serves coffee and fresh pastries with a smile. Excellent place to meet a colleague or friend. Highly Recommend!“

“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.“

“Thank you for GREAT customer service and making me feel welcome. The cafe is immaculate and the food and drink was delicious! My first Iced Matcha!!! Well worth the visit from SW France 🇺🇸🇫🇷 Great merchandise and appreciated the WiFi....Á bientôt!“

“The baked goods here are delicious and fresh, and I’ve heard great things about their coffee as well. The service during our visit was only mediocre, with the cashier being relatively impatient to customers. Understandably, it was a busy Monday morning, but this area could see a bit of improvement.“

“Four Piece Suit is what makes it worth visiting! We have been following them since the 90s, when they were playing music in Tam O’Shanter pub in Brookline, MA. They gathered a huge crowd the day we saw them for the first time. We were fortunate to get in the pub because they were so famous.“

“Being a coffee shop lover and explorer, I love this coffee and food very much. The only reason why I wouldn’t rate it a full 5 stars is because it’s always very smokey and smells burnt in here and hard to work with. But I’d gladly come by to pick up some food to go.“

“Great foods! And nice have play keno“

“Nice place best staff. Great place to handle your banking biz and sit and have a good cup of joe !!!!“

“I recently discovered Brewed Awakenings, and I am hooked! I visited the Cranston location. The staff was so friendly. The cafe was spotless, and Paul, the manager, is so warm, welcoming, has a stellar personality, and completely makes my morning. It's been tricky trying to find a solid cup of iced coffee that has all of the bells and whistles. I shared with Paul my favorite flavors, and he immediately whipped up the perfect cold concoction. It was my first time trying coldfoam! It is by far the best iced coffee I have ever had. Pictured is brewed Smores iced coffee with Oreo cold foam, crushed oreo cookies, and a smidgen of chocolate syrup. 10/10 recommend. I'm already looking forward to my morning cup.“

“12/6/25- DID TAKEOUT WITH STEAK SPECIAL WITH HOMEFRIES AND CORN BEEF HASH, NO EGGS OR TOAST… I ❤️ THE SIDES, BUT MY STEAK WAS OVERDONE… ATE IN THE RESTAURANT SAME DISH AND HAD NO COMPLAINTS THOUGH… HAD A SIDE OF CLAM CHOWDER, WON’T BE GETTING THAT AGAIN 😂… PRICES ARE GOOD, FILLING AMOUNT OF FOOD..

1/5/2026- I LOVE ❤️ THE STEAK…

Ordered 3 breakfast sandwiches with S&P and extra meat, contained two small sausage links sliced in half/ one egg/slice cheese… No extra meat and no S&P…

Edible, but not worth 20.00..“

“Great place for breakfast! Kim is our favorite waitress there!! We absolutely love the breakfast food, and beverage menu…..Mimosas wink wink 😉 It’s our go to place for breakfast! Breakfast served with a smile, best way to start a day!“

“The Tatte in Fenway has a cute, warm interior and a convenient location. It gets very busy, so be prepared to wait for a table, but it's worth it. I loved the lentil soup and the apple crumble cake. It's a great spot for a quick bite or for getting some work or studying done.“

“I ordered hole in bagel (which is basically Turkish simit with flatten egg on top). The simit was too hard and not fresh.
Other orders of same complexity came in different timing and we all four waited long to eat together.
The staff are nice and friendly. The cookies and pastry wasn’t something I go back for it again.
It’s a good bakery for locals to just hop in, grab a coffee, bread, and spend minutes.“

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

“Every time I come in, my Latte is always perfect. The staff is friendly and fast.“

“Food: delish
Cashier: engaging

Wanted to get something off the beaten path and ended up here! Small inside, but your food is made in front of you quickly. Went for coffee, came back with an egg sandwich (so much bacon it was ideal) and chai (hot! so be careful). 2 people working, one took my order and made my drink, the other was working hard at the stove to give me a wonderful, buttery, crispy egg sandwich. Drink menu is on the other wall, hard to see unless you’re at the counter ordering.
Big fan, will be going back to try their lunch menu!“

“We luckily found an easy street spot right out front on a Saturday. Small interior. Cash Only. they have an extensive coffee menu, and a food menu (that I was too distracted to look at). They were quick and kind. They do have an ATM inside, too. I tried the French Twist with cream and it was delicious.“
