50 Best Cafes near Brighton

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“Excellent local breakfast joint with solid coffee and prices that can't be beat. A great location for breakfast, brunch, a good omlette or breakfast sandwich for under $4. Great neighborhood staple. Very handi-avcessible, and nice owners.“

“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.“

“The food is super fresh! I had the “The dirty monkey” smoothie…..the same! Fresh and delicious. Definitely a must try!“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Our favorite local coffee shop. They constantly pull delicious espresso, have a great selection of roasts, and the food always satisfies. The chocolate zucchini loaf cannot be missed! I also really appreciate that there’s no WiFi. It makes it easy to consistently find a place to sit because people aren’t camping out all day.“

“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.“

“Amazing coffee and food! Not super sweet like other shops and the coffee is flavorful! Great friendly service!“

“Excellent coffee shop. It's rather hard to find (see my photo with an arrow pointing to the cafe). Inside there's a coffee shop vibe, with lots of people on laptops. They serve beer and wine in addition to coffee, and I wonder if there's more of a wine bar vibe in the evening. I've ordered espresso beverages a couple times and they're great.“

“It's the best cheesecake I've ever had! I got the ube cheesecake and the Thai tea. Absolutely delicious incredible texture and flavor! Only reason it doesn't get a 5 out of 5 stars on atmosphere cuz there just was no room to even walk around with how many people there were sitting in there. other than that absolutely fantastic I will be back for the cheesecake 100%“

“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.😋“

“I stopped by Sorelle Bakery & Cafe near Boston’s Financial District, and it felt like a perfect little spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break. The café has a relaxed neighborhood vibe, with people grabbing coffee on their way to work or sitting down for a casual lunch.

I ordered a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and both were fresh and satisfying. The bakery also has a good selection of pastries, muffins, scones, soups, salads, and sandwiches, making it a convenient place for either breakfast or a light lunch.

The service was quick and friendly, which makes sense since many customers are office workers from nearby buildings. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable—nothing fancy, but a nice place to relax for a few minutes in the middle of a busy downtown area.

Overall, Sorelle Bakery & Cafe is a solid choice if you want good coffee, fresh pastries, and a quick, casual meal while exploring or working in downtown Boston“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“This is a gem for a breakfast spot! The owner and his son are very friendly and generous. The food tasted amazing. We had the florentine omelet that was on special amongst other things and everything tasted amazing! The place is very cozy and overall highly recommended! Will definitely be coming back!“

“Had a wonderful time, especially thanks to the tour guide(s) at 4 pm. The main leader, “Sarah,” definitely made the experience worthwhile. There was a giant group of young kids that weren’t paying much attention (as young kids do-not a complaint) yet we were able to learn and enjoy the amazing museum and experiences nonetheless. They were very accommodating, humorous, and well equipped to handle large groups of people while keeping their attention. We liked the experience and would go back.“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

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

“We’ve visited several Tatte locations over the years and this one was just as enjoyable. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a menu that feels surprisingly Mediterranean-inspired for the U.S.

A great spot for breakfast or brunch, offering plenty of tasty options in a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Back Bay. ☕🥐🍳“

“What a perfect little diner to grab breakfast at. A little off the main streets, which made for a wonderful outdoor dining experience. Had an iced coffee and veggie omelet which. Great portions and prices. Food came fast and the people there were really wonderful.“

“I really enjoyed my sandwich as you can see, they did not have ketchup but the kind woman offered me salsa and surprisingly it went really well together! I highly recommend for a little gathering for friends, the music they played matched the aesthetic of the place. 1000/10“

“Guys your staff is so nice and kind.
All of the Latin staff is super friendly and they make the place feel very warm and collective.
Tulan makes the best matcha EVER. She puts a lot of effort in the process 🧘 and is the best front desk :)“

“Very cute & cozy cafe.
I had the mango Lassi & veg puff, and they were both delicious.
Also tried the Chilli Parotta, and it was so good!

They routinely have special South Indian combo meals, and the food is so traditional & homely.

Love the interior design, especially on the ceiling. It blends culture into a unique cafe experience.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

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

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

“Absolutely loved my experience at Tatte Bakery & Cafe. The atmosphere was beautiful, welcoming, and had such a great vibe from the moment we walked in. The coffee was amazing, everything looked fresh and delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. Such a great place to relax, grab coffee, and enjoy the atmosphere. I already can’t wait to go back!“

“Second best omelette I’ve ever had, after my mother’s! The Spanish latte tasted very similar to a cafe con leche in Spain. So so good. The staff are very friendly and were accommodating to me with my baby. I would highly recommend this place!“

“I've come here a number of times and I've always had a good experience. This Tatte location is nice and bright with indoor and outdoor seating. Indoors there are a few booths, some tables, and high top/bar seating.

The employees are helpful and quick! The food is good, I particularly like the turkey avocado sandwich and the cherry and cheese danish.“

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

“Burger is the best for me 😘“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“We had a recent event catered by Ovenbird and we would definitely recommend their catering services! They were so responsive in the planning process and all of our guests were raving about the delicious food. Everything was presented and packaged beautifully and tasted amazing.“

“So excited I got to enjoy the Roasted Turkey Sandwich today! Love the T.V. show & cookbooks so this visit was a bucket list item.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Extremely friendly service/ Grabbed a coffee and a cranberry-orange muffin today- the muffin reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe- so moist!!! 👍“

“Grande Burrito, X-Tudo, chicken stucks, Coxhinas“

“It's good. The food is not always fresh and tasting well. But it is mostly mid. The kitchen rocks with the dishes. But the up front crossants and desserts could get better. The bottom of the tarts are always too hard, not thoughtfully baked (my spoon can't surpass it) but the dishes are amazing. The service is fast but sometimes they miss important things like forks and knives (maybe too much attention in the balcony but not so much in the clients already sitted). But staff is friendly! The chairs and tables are almost always cleaned. And the music is in good taste, no loud music. I would give 4 stars easily. Good to go once in a while.“

“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.“

“The sandwiches here are MASSIVE and loaded up. Get the sourdough!! Easily the softest, most moist sourdough I’ve ever had.

The pastries are also good. They are known for the maple scone, which was good but I found it a little dry/chalky. The banana chocolate chunk muffin was great.“

“Great employees and food is above average for sure. Only wish is for some vegan options other than avocado toast. Gets a bit boring everywhere you go. The place has a good vibe but very noisy. I think I would have gone to the location in Cambridge instead.“
