13 Best Coffee Shops in Braintree

“Discovery: My family was visiting in town near the mall so I took them for a shopping day and lunch in the South Shore Plaza Mall. When we entered the mall we heard the drums playing and followed them to see the opening (relocation) ceremony Lion Dance for Lumi. While there I saw a friend who absolutely recommended we try it (He was there eating with his family of 4). Food: After shopping my parents and I dropped in and got our first ever Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwiches). I tell you these sandwiches (we got the grilled beef) were incredible! They were filled with fresh veggies and bursting with flavor. We also tried the Vietnamese eggs rolls which were good. Restaurant style- It is a small restaurant on the main floor of the mall. It has seating and very cute interior design (it is open to the mall corridor.) It also has it's own bathroom - which is really nice in a mall setting. You order by walking up to the counter and you pick your food up from the counter when they call your number (No table service). Food comes out quick. Depending on the time of day it can get quite a crowd. Highly Recommend if you love a really amazingly fresh sandwich! I will absolutely go back. I already sent friends who loved it too!“

“When I moved to Braintree a year ago I was sad to leave my regular DD behind, but I’m glad I found this store. Aimee, Dara, and Jackie make my week day mornings happy. They not only make my coffees right but they are so friendly and outgoing. My dog is also welcome in the store and he does a happy dance to see Dara. On the weekends there is no better crew then Gabby, Emily and Gary. I absolutely love this store. At some point I know they will go to college and I’ll be sad to see them go, but for now this place makes my mornings a pleasant start.

Parking: This DD is inside a store, there is a parking lot behind the store with plenty of spaces. During morning drop off for the school across the street it can be a little packed, they park there even though they aren’t allowed, but usually a quick flow so you’ll get a spot.

Kid-friendliness: They are very welcoming to children, always so friendly to kids in there. Seriously they make everyone feel like friends and family“

“I've been here multiple times and always been satisfied with my service and food.Parking is a free for all on the street, so be ready for humans dodging across the street and congesting traffic a little in the area. There is a tiny lot in the back, down the side street next to the shop that you can park in. However it is on a residential street so no street parking. Please don't block anyone in on that road, Just park on Cleland/Middle street, half on the sidewalk like most of the patrons.There is no place to sit and eat here so it is basically a 'walkthrough' coffee place. It doesn't have a huge 'franchise feel' so I have never seen it get insanely crowded like Dunks or Starbucks. Probably also because its in what looks like an average house that is just painted bright pink!The servers have always been patience, helpful and kind with me since they have so many options it can be hard to make up your mind. In fact - I'd say friendly service is one of the biggest parts of the appeal of Marylou's.It can be pricey, so overall I go here when I need a pick me up badly or want to treat myself.The neighborhood is nice to walk around with your coffee if you feel like exploring. There is a very small playground right down the road on Cleland if you wanted a place to sip while your kids play. Pond Meadow park is also nearby (Maybe a 4 minute drive) and a great place to enjoy nature while you sip your brew.“
