37 Best Cafes near Framingham

“Hybrid service here. Place your order and prepay at the register, then they bring you your food to whichevertable you've chosen. I had a quality omelette that was gigantic and tasty. The home fries are decent, but taste like every other restaurant that gets them frozen from Sysco, though they were perfectly cooked, unlike some other places I've been. The food came out quickly and piping hot.“

“I love EVERYTHING they make!! Great people!!“

“I have been a customer of Red Barn for over 25 years it is not only close to my home it is my "go to" spot for my morning Latte or my afternoon Ice Coffee. The Pastry case is always filled with yummy fresh goodies and i am always greeted with a smile...4 Stars\n“

“AMAZING. I enjoy the Paninis and Flatbreads and my location serves Starbucks which is a plus!“

“I went in for the first time today after looking for a good, healthy alternative to chain lunch spots like sweetgreen and cava. Mike was nice, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I ordered the creamsicle, which is vanilla protein and mango. The tea was Chai with clementine aloe. I asked Mike what flavor aloe would go well with chai (I first thought none of the flavors would pair well with chai) and he said he prefers clementine, or I could go with mango. He also said he likes the hot version over the iced, so I went with that, and was happy I went with Mike's suggestions. I felt full 3/4 of the way drinking my smoothie, so I know I will be full for a few hours. It is a good full feeling, not overly full or heavy. Also, the tea provided me with some much needed energy. Reasonable prices, especially when you compare to other lunch spots. I will definitely be going back to Heart City Health Cafe for sure! This is a great, healthy lunch option, so I am happy I came across it!“

“My wife and I go to Panera all the time, all over the place. We just came back from 3000 mile road trip where we looked for every Panera we could and got the chipotle chicken avocado melt every time. We can tell you that this particular Panera has the BEST chipotle chicken avocado melt.“

“Love this place. Been here many times, will be many more. The price/quality ratio is very serviceable. Obviously scale your expectations to what the place is: a smallish bakery/lunch haunt off of a busy busy road. If you do that, Miranda Bread will blow you away??‍♀️“

“I was early an hour and 20 minutes for my 12 o'clock. Appointment and I didn't have a breakfast, so I happen to spot this right around the corner, and I have to say, I've had the best onion, bagel sausage, egg and cheese, sandwich that I've had. In a long, long time and home fries were really good too. The staff was wicked friendly and I felt very comfortable in there.I would recommend it 😎👍“

“I dont know what kind of dark magic they use, but their dairy and gluten free pumpkin pie is delightful! Even my picky eater kid ate two whole slices. I go at least once a month and stock up on treats which I then freeze to have on hand and its so worth the money and the drive. Thank you, Twist, for having gluten and dairy free treats that are actually good.“

“I love the yellow curry made with chicken. We have also enjoyed chicken pad see-ew, papaya salad, and crispy chicken hot basil. I have brought a friend, and she like it too. It’s very cute and relaxing inside, with gentle music and lots of pretty plants!“

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

“Not sure why it’s taken so long for me to do a review, as I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I come here at least 1-2x a week.The food is always creative, delicious and fresh. When I want quality food fast, this is my absolute go to. I haven’t had one bad selection yet. To top it off, the employees are super friendly! The location is great and convenient. Only thing I’ll say is, I wish they were open longer!!! :) Otherwise, this place is great in my opinion.“

“The best coffee and team ever!“

“Love the shakes, mega teas and my kids are obsessed with the refreshers!“

“Best breakfast around!! 🥞🧇“

“Great food and lovely people“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!“

“My husband and I drove 30 mins to visit this sandwich shop with our baby and we didn’t check the hours. They stop serving food at 3 pm and the ladies graciously let us get sandwiches. We are so appreciative of the service but EVEN MORE THE SANDWICHES!!!!

Oh my, these sandwiches are sooo good. My husband got the chipotle blt and I got the chicken ridiculous! My goodness, they are seriously so fresh and sooo flavorful! Highly recommend this spot!!!!!“

“Everyone here is so friendly, they are like family. The food is delicious and not processed nonsense stuff like some places have..and the coffee is good too, if your a chocolate person like me, I recommend the Iced Mocha Cappuccino I get it every time, I could never get sick of it.“

“I notice you don’t post any of the food you serve to the schools cause I have pictures and these are not them“

“amazing food always and super nice people“

“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.“

“I haven’t visited a Nordstrom Cafe in around 10 years, but was pleasantly surprised to see that everything was as spectacular as ever. The food was easily better than most other dining options in the area, it’s definitely not a spot that should be overlooked! They also had great gluten free options and took my allergy very seriously. 10/10“

“I grew up in the area and have lived abroad—mostly in Europe—for the past 15 years. Over that time, I’ve become very aware of the differences in ingredients and food quality between Europe and the U.S. When I come back each year to visit family, I often find that a lot of American food leaves me feeling bloated and uncomfortable, likely due to additives, dyes, and lower-quality ingredients that I’m no longer used to.

Blue Moon Bagel Cafe is the one wonderful exception.

I’ve been coming here since high school, and it’s the place I genuinely look forward to eating when I’m back in town. I truly trust their ingredients: the food tastes fresh, clean, and well made, and it doesn’t leave me with that heavy, uncomfortable feeling I get elsewhere. The sandwiches are delicious, everything feels thoughtfully prepared, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Prices are also quite reasonable for the area, especially considering current inflation in the US.

I’ll admit that some of the desserts are total sugar bombs—but that’s probably just my now very European palate talking! For those who love a sweet treat, they’re clearly doing something right.

All in all, Blue Moon Bagel Cafe is a real gem in Medfield. I’m grateful it’s still here and always make a point to visit when I’m back about once a year. Thank you for staying true to quality and consistency all these years.“

“I ordered a cake from Muffin House Cafe for my thirtieth birthday and it was the best decision!

Everyone loved the cake! I ordered a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. The cake was so moist. One of the best cakes we’ve ordered. The design was exactly what I was looking for. Their inquiry system is quick and efficient. Great communication and reasonable pricing. I would highly recommend! Will order again. 😊“

“Delicious breakfast and the best diner coffee. The staff are nice and helpful and always have a smile on their faces. Clean and wonderful diner experience all around!!!!“

“Went to coffee Haven for the first time today! The pastries looked amazing, the latte and dirty chai we got come out so good! Would reccomend to anyone who wants a tasty quick and healther breakfast alternative to fast food. The staff was so lovely!“

“We had a baby shower at the Bagel Table for my daughter. They were so helpful and accommodating! Great food and great service! Friendly people and atmosphere! Thank you!“

“I'll be honest, we almost didn't come here because I usually follow the wisdom of crowds and when I saw the 4.1 rating I thought we might pass on visiting. I'm glad we came, it was a five star experience for me... The quality of the morning bun and tasty seasonal black sesame latte I had were very high and we'll definitely come back (at least to another location). It was a little bit noisy and it seems like the lines could swell during busy times but that doesn't take away from the overall rating for me.“

“Hands down the best beans we've ever had. We discovered Karma at Whole Foods in '23 and have since switched to buying bags directly from them at their wonderful shop in Sudbury. We buy several bags on each visit and will not buy beans anywhere else...ever. If for some reason they're going out of business, we'll fund them to stay in business, they're that good.“

“Food was executed mostly well, only some of roasted chicken a bit dried out & old and there was very little chicken on one sandwich. (Maybe 1oz max)
Tables and floor were clean.
Most of booths had one person camped in a four person booth, there all day with outside food and beverages. (And a messy/dirty)
Drink area is well maintained.“

“Got the Chickpea Fritter Platter and absolutely loved it! As a college student, it can be really hard sometimes to find places with good healthy food that doesn't break the bank! I’m happy to say the platter was reasonably priced since it comes with enough stuff to make two meals out of it, and it is absolutely delicious and healthy!“

“Although part of a global chain, Caffè Nero did a nice job of capturing the distinct history of this Wellesley Hills station designed by architect H.H. Richardson. The building was completed in 1886, and after the station was decommissioned the space was various retail outlets until Nero took over in 2016.

And the food and drink? Relative to other bakeries and coffee shops in Wellesley (there are a lot!) the coffee is good, and the baked goods are workmanlike. An added plus is the large parking lot for the train next door, free on weekends.

I really like the old photos showing the building and interior spaces on the walls. It’s fun to compare “then and now” while you sip a coffee.

P.S. This was the last of nine stations that H.H. Richardson designed for the Boston and Albany Railroad.“

“Stayed here for about two hours in between business meetings. Product is just what I've come to expect. Good coffee. My only complaint was there was a cold breeze in the lobby even though the doors were closed. Probably coming from the HVAC and it didn't matter where I sat, the cold air was moving pretty good. After a while I was able to ignore it. There was barely anyone inside, so maybe the HVAC is set to a setting expecting more people inside putting off body heat, which is typical for many Starbucks.“

“This place looks a little underwhelming and slightly run down from the outside, but please don't let the exterior dissuade you. The interior is modern, clean and the Brazilian food inside looks and tasted amazing. I had the mixtos special sandwich. It was huge.. it had a whole chicken cutlet, ham, bacon, a poached egg and lovely gooey melted cheese on top. And to add some texture they add potato sticks and corn. It was ready in about 8 minutes. And I loved the combo. The prices are reasonable and I skipped my lunch after eating this sandwich! Give this place a try. The bakery was happening too and I bought a few chocolate covered cream puffs to go.“
