32 Best Cafes near Concord

“Yes, it's a chain store, but it doesn't feel like it. Inside is a charming rustic interior with plenty of soft seating, tables and chairs to accommodate the busiest of days.
A great meetup spot to chat with friends and family. Or, come alone, grab a window seat, and do some good old fashion people watching in downtown Concord. The coffee is good too!“

“Everything is amazing here.
I cannot get enough of the banana bread! Not too dry, not too moist. The quality ingredients make the flavor soooo good.
Highly recommended. Cozy dining area with plenty of tables. Bring your friends, bring a coffee date, bring your family... They will love it.“

“I first tried this place while working at one of the businesses in the industrial park in which it is situated. But I’m pretty sure anyone can eat here during hours of operation. There was a hot grill with rotating daily specials as well as fresh cold sandwiches and grab&go items. Prices were reasonable and the location is very convenient to the nearby businesses.“

“The chicken pot pie was a bit on the salty side but otherwise quite tasty. The restaurant was willing to split it between my wife and I, which was a good thing because it was plenty enough for both of us. There was a long wait when we arrived and we were offered a spot at the bar. That was nice because we got rapid service there and enjoyed the ambiance of the place. Recommended.“

“Such a great first experience! Friendly, clean and absolutely delicious! Thanks, we will be back❤️“

“I just started eating here and everything I’ve had has been perfect - and I’m a picky eater! The home fries are hands down my favorite!“

“Adorable little cafe. Feels very mom-and-pop shop-like.There are tons of sandwich options and cofee and tea (I think I saw about a dozen flavors of Stash tea).They had muffins and homemade cookies. They were closing within the hour so maybe that’s why the case was pretty empty, but the cookies were gooey and soft. No complaints.Plenty of cooler drinks too (like four massive coolers).And the seating on the street out front is GORGEOUS. Look at those trees!Plenty of parking and the t is just across the street.“

“has the gluten free options I've been searching for and Fab coffee“

“Gave service a 3 because you walk up, order and wait. No table service. Not a bad thing.

The Apple Muffin I had was GIGANTIC. Sustained me for most of the day!

Coffee was delicious, and they're set up for Al Fresco noshing & sipping. Great on a beautiful early autumn day.“

“This charming coffee shop is the perfect spot to warm up with a cup of coffee and a quick bite on a cold morning. The ambiance is laid-back, with soft music in the background and immaculately clean tables that invite you to relax. The menu features a wide variety of coffee and tea options, we sampled the latte and mocha—both rich and flavorful, a great start to the day.

For food, we tried the French Croque Madame and the ZenZest Tuna Toast, both of which were delicious and carefully crafted. The pastry selection is equally impressive, with everything looking irresistibly fresh. The Portuguese Pastel de Nata, while good, would benefit from a quick toasting before being served to bring out its full potential.

While the prices are on the higher side (in the case of the sandwiches doesn’t appear in the menu) the overall experience, from the friendly staff to the quality of the offerings, makes it a worthwhile stop. The convenience of accepting credit cards adds to the appeal of this cozy, inviting café.“

“Came here on a Saturday morning to do some writing and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and breakfast. I ordered a latte and a Turkey Sausage Avocado breakfast burrito. The service was super pleasant across the board, and the location is staffed to help take care of orders, keep things clean, and deliver food to customers.

My burrito was massive and honestly quite tasty, filled with hot ingredients and had me filled up! The latte was good but nothing too special.

Overall this place seems really well managed, very friendly, and offers plenty of seating and space.“

“Ordering is online only so I would recommend ordering about 15 minutes before your arrival.

Menu items are highly customizable which takes some time to fill out but return visits would take significantly less time.

Side items (bacon, hash browns) are fairly affordable but perhaps a bit skimpy in terms of portioning.

The coffee bar is simply amazing; allowing you to make your drink exactly how you like it.“

“Excellent food and service, big portions. Relaxing and friendly“

“We've been eating here for years, last time was March 16, 2020. We did take out but felt terrible not eating in since. After being vaccinated and not eating out for 13 months, it was only fitting this was our first venture out. Jay was as gracious as ever, and Mike our bartender was as bald as ever, and equally as fun. You can't beat a private restaurant over a chain, their soul is invested and it shows. Thank you for a great visit, see you regularly in the coming days!“

“I was early for an appointment in Sudbury and decided I was in dire need of caffeine on a cold rainy day, so I stopped at the drive thru for the first time & was wowed by the iced latte I ordered and the blueberry muffin also! The latte was strong, but not bitter, right up there with any Starbucks, Dunkin, or Honey Dew! And the muffin was amazing, much better than anything from a chain coffee shop, super sweet, flavorful & you could tell it was fresh! The barista couldn’t have been nicer! 10/10 I can’t wait to come back!! P.S. - located right near a tj maxx, perfect to stop if you’re doing a little shopping as well :)“

“Located in an Executive Office complex, Starburst Cafe is a business friendly modern cafe where omelettes and other heated breakfasts are made to order by a chef. After that it's self serve. They DO NOT take cash but they DO take credit cards and mobile payments.“

“Have been twice in the last week, and i love the new owners! Very friendly and accommodating. They have a little of everything at this stand.. flowers, fresh veggies, packaged and pre seasoned meat, and pre made food to just heat and serve at home. They also have ready to eat items such as freshly baked pastries and muffins, plus coffee and a wide selection of beverages. The fresh made sandwiches and wraps are highly recommended if you're looking for a great lunch! I had the Thanksgiving sandwich on a wheat wrap today and yum! My 6 year old daughter loves their ice cream that you can get a single serving in a cup, or pre-packaged containers to take home for later. There are tables inside and out if you're looking to sit and eat there, also!They are open until 5 everyday even though Google says 3.“

“Thank you so much to Twist Bakery for their amazing generosity! A parent from our school had contacted them in regards to purchasing cookies for an event we have at the school for several children who have allergies. Twist and their staff were so pleasant to deal with and more than generous in what they did for us. All the littles were so excited that there was an option for cookies at the event for them that was not only safe, it was extremely yummy! Thank you again Twist for making our school kids day and putting parents minds at ease. We will surely be spreading the word about you!“

“The cranberry goat cheese salad was absolutely delicious! The quinoa bowl with Brussel sprouts too was one of the best I have ever tried it was made so well. Literally everything I have tried here is amazing including the cucumber pineapple coconut drink, the blueberry ginger iced tea, the orange ? drink as well. The desserts are heavenly, the seven layer bar the chocolate ganache brownie. Honestly you will not be disappointed everything is fresh and the owner is very knowledgeable. Many different options are available too!“

“I went to revival for the first time to grab something small for late breakfast.
the inside is so adorable and pretty, the staff were all so kind and cheerful, and there was little to no wait getting my order. Overall just such a nice place! Definitely recommend!“

“They make everything fresh, every day they're open. Baker is top notch! Try the almond or chocolate croissants - they're marvelous! Yum-o-rama! Coffee is incredible too....“

“Inviting and comfortable atmosphere with ample seating in 2 adjoining rooms! Many regulars. Simple breakfast menu but unique offerings. Waltham fog tea was delicious! Lunch begins at 11 am. Nice view of lush Waltham common. A little pricey.“

“Known for their coffee, but they have very earthy and delicious matcha too, and their latte art is impressive!

Fully accessible (though seating is a bit congested, so I didn’t stay to eat).

Friendly and efficient service.

Parking on both sides of street out front.

I do think, friendly advice, that the pastries would be more visually appealing with a touch of color. Everything was brown.

Maybe include a few items that naturally have some color: berries in a muffin or scone, lemon bars, seven-layer bars, macrons, etc, or decorate the case with some fresh picked herbs or flowers.

It just…everything on the counter was brown. As a baker and former cafe owner, I saw possibility :-).

The matcha with almond milk was good. I definitely would add honey next time as it was very not sweet, but it was good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible,“

“The website for this place is admittedly confusing, because they only really highlight their catering options. However, don’t let that stop you from heading to Newton to check this out!

Judith’s is best for lunch. They have an extensive sandwich menu, all of which I’ve tried are delicious. You can choose from their pre-designed suggestions or make your own. They also have a delightful glass case with fresh vegetable and pasta salad options.

If you’re looking for breakfast, you can find it here but the options are much more limited. They have a few pre-made egg-based wraps and sandwiches. The coffee and tea menu is basic, they have lattes and some nicer tea selections but nothing too wild.

They have a nice cookie, chip, and wine selection here. This is right off the highway, so truthfully it’s one of my favorite places to stop when I’m heading on a trip out of Boston and looking for something to eat on the way or a place to meet people if I’m picking anyone up.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options! You can do build your own sandwiches, so the options are limitless. They also have vegetable and pasta based salads in their cold case.

Parking: In the morning, it’s easy to find parking but in the afternoon and evening or on weekends it can be a bit tricky. There’s a paid lot diagonally across the street from them and some paid spots in front and around the corner.“

“Dana helped us plan our girls baptism and got every detail perfect and the food was incredible. She went above and beyond to make the day special for us and we could not be more grateful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using for our future events!“

“I find no problems with the staff here. They are always cheery and helpful. I do think there could be some efficiency improvements and the wait times are a little long and a bit pricey for cafeteria food. But otherwise food is generally decent and selection is variably good to very good.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!“

“I contacted Drew to cater a painting party for my daughters upcoming wedding. I ordered sandwiches and salads for the event. Everyone commented on how delicious and fresh everything was. The sandwiches were not skimpy.. they were generous with ingredients and sooo good. Don’t hesitate to use Cricket Catering…. You will be so happy did!!! Thank you Drew ?“

“I go here for coffee and a bagel while my wife gets her hair done. I keep coming back and enjoy the great coffee and bagel. My wife bought me a gift card because she knew I enjoyed it here so much. The people are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Panera “

“Not only is their food and coffee great but they have a great staff. I just left there and the man helping me behind the counter was amazing at his job. While he was busy and multitasking he was still happy, friendly, personable and took my order right away. Seriously great customer service.“

“I drive here from two towns away most mornings for breakfast. Food is fresh (excellent omelets), service is always friendly and the place is always clean and welcoming.“
