10 Best Cafes in Brookline

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

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

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

“I would suggest maybe all the negative reviewers on here turn the mirror on themselves. Since I moved to Boston two years ago Cafe Fixe has been nothing but a community focal point. I bring my profoundly autistic non-verbal son here and he’s treated with nothing but kindness and compassion. He loves it there. I’m a NY coffee snob and the coffee is top tier. If you go to a Michelin star restaurant its ok for the chef to have a certain decorum about their craft but not ok for people who are passionate about coffee to feel the same way? If you want an iced mocha frappe, a hug and a coupon go to Dunkin. If you want real coffee, made by real people in a real community then come here.“

“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.“

“This place is adorable and so cozy! I managed to snag a seat indoors after a bit of waiting and would love to spend a good rainy WFH day here. There are very limited seats so plan accordingly if you’re hoping to stay. I was a bit disappointed by my drink - their specialty lemonade ran around $7 and was not memorable. But, I was able to get work done and enjoyed the playlist and company.“

“5 stars without question. I don’t come often because you can definitely lose yourself and over indulge but highly recommend. Line can tend to get long at this location and finding a seat can be near impossible but if you’re on the go then not an issue. Staff is really nice, attentive, professional and reminds me of why I like Boston. All Tatte’s are good but this location is top tier (not trying to start a inner Tatte war or anything)“

“Awesome place for a mocha latte and breakfast burrito.“

“Ham and cheese croissants Raspberry pastries Nice, friendly ambience for a coffee Family owned business“

“favorite cafe in the area! the ambiance is conducive for studying so i come pretty often- it's quiet, sunny, with a fixed playlist that is very jazzy compliments the interior decor well.

their green tea is bright in color and is super smooth. it's not bitter after seeped in water for a while compared to the higher grade green teas i own. the matcha tea and latte are great as well- both vibrant green and a perfect level of sweetness. the matcha used is very good quality & remind me of the matcha i had in japan :,)

as for food- i haven't tried much of the options yet but the spicy salmon, tuna, shiitake onigiri is yummy and rice usually fresh and soft. also the taiyaki and other deserts are light, not too sweet

overall, i'd definitely recommend! the workers are kind and super attentive. there's a very detailed list of allergens which was so helpful for me, and my sibling who has allergies to wheat (no soy sauce), among other restrictions“
