39 Best Cafes near Framingham

“Truly a hidden gem of Framingham! Very cozy spot, with great coffee and amazing food. I ordered the brazilian “small” plate and was shocked to see how much food was still included, and more importantly, everything was extremely delicious. I’ll be making this a usual spot of mine!“

“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 happened to be in this part of Framingham and was looking for something quick and healthy for lunch. I wasn't sure a protein shake and a tea would fill me up, but I was mistaken. I wasn't hungry after. The shake was delicious, and the tea boosted my energy without the negative feeling of a caffeine/sugar buzz that energy sodas give you. Also, the owner, Mike, is very knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. I've been back twice since discovering it. I can't wait to try more flavors.“

“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??‍♀️“

“It’s great having a close by GF bakery !! Love the new decor and options.“

“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 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.“

“Best breakfast around!! 🥞🧇“

“The best coffee and team ever!“

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

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

“I have had most of the sandwiches they offer and I have not had a bad one yet! Today I went and perhaps there was someone new on the line, I ordered a grandmas meatball and it did not have any basil or garlic aioli on it. Nevertheless it was still delicious and I won’t count that against them. Always super fresh ingredients and the chowder is amazing too!“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!“

“Love the fresh produce, they have the best corn and The Farmer’s Porch is amazing. Always one of our favorite spots in the fall!“

“Great food and lovely people“

“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.“

“amazing food always and super nice people“

“Very good coffee and nice outside seating. Very noisy and crowded inside, unpleasantly so. Baking good, above average. Very pricey. I go for coffee, never for a meal - for the price of a Tatte meal, many restaurants offer a nicer experience for the same price.“

“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 love this place. I love love love the cranberry orange load bread, but i do wish they didn’t speinkle all that extra sugar on it, it’s sweet enough on it’s own. I end up wasting the crust and outer edges. Thank you for your service and your service to our local communities as well! Buen Provecho, Godere, Bom Proveito !“

“There's nothing I can say that can describe how good it is!! The best I've ever had! Run to get it, and the service is so good, they are also donating all leftovers! If you want to enjoy something super amazing and support small business. That's your spot❤️❤️❤️“

“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!!!!“

“I had lunch with my daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was friendly and efficient, and the value was great for the quality.  We each had a cup of the tomato basil soup which comes with the most delicious crostini. Highly recommend it. My daughter had a spicy pasta with a pink sauce, bacon and some vegetables, which was succulent, and I had a lovely salad with grilled chicken. We were too full for dessert. While we did have a reservation, so we didn't wait at all, I think most of the time walk-ins are welcome because this is a café within a department store so people don't stay for very long.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Miranda is a charming Brazilian spot with a unique atmosphere. Although the staff didn’t speak English, they were incredibly helpful, and I was able to order the Miranda breakfast sandwich, which I absolutely loved. The flavors were authentic and delicious—definitely a memorable experience!“
