30 Best Cafes near Ipswich

“Today Sandpiper provided the food for my niece’s wedding shower. I can’t say enough about them. Everything was ready when I got there for pick up. The staff were great and very helpful. The guests raved about all the food: croissants, scones (beyond belief!), cinnamon rolls, quiche, salad, cookies, cold brew... Sandpiper scored a bunch of new customers today. We thank them so much!“

“We are visiting from England and have been to Heart and Soul three times in the past week. Why? Yes, the coffee is excellent and the food is very good, but it's the warmth and hospitality of the owner, Bud, that has impressed us most. We have lived and travelled in many places around the world but rarely have we experienced an owner with such a wonderful attitude and such a welcome. It feels like visiting a friend when we come to Heart and Soul....a place that embodies the name of the cafe and an owner who clearly knows what hospitality means.“

“The bagels here are excellent, and everything there is at a great price point for breakfast food. I enjoy them just as much as Abraham's in Newburyport. I only wish they would open a little sooner. I often get there at 7AM to find it not open yet. Hopefully if they get more business they will want to open earlier.“

“The dark roast coffee of the day was fantastic! The atmosphere was inviting and the baristas were so sweet and friendly! Definitely recommend this shop!“

“Best shop for morning breakfast sandwiches and food, assorted pastries coffee cafe and then great lunch sandwiches and side dishes. A little gem... Just a block away from the downtown busy area, quiet nice.... My go-to, always...

This is a place mostly visited by people who live here ... not so much tourists“

“We recently hired Googans to cater for a celebration of life. We kept it simple with a cheese and veggie platter, sandwiches and sweets- finger food. Everything was absolutely delicious! People were raving about how good the sandwiches and desserts were. I absolutely recommend for catering and also to stop in their shop for breakfast and/or lunch. We were very happy with our whole experience with Googan’s.“

“Drinks are amazing and the place! The designer has great taste! Tge owners are awesome! I would definitely recommend this place! If you have not it yet you need to, and you will not be disappointed. 🙂🧋“

“Wow! I wish I took photos because what I ate was delicious! Got the Steak and Eggs and wife tried the crave! Was surprised with the gf bread on the crave but was actually really delicious so was very pleased! It was wild in there they were very busy but everyone was hustling! They did unfortunately make one drink wrong but they did fix it and we're quick on getting it fixed! Would love to go back when it's a less crazy day. Took everything to go.“

“Cute place. We arrived on the later side which annoyed the waitstaff.... I promised we'd leave by closing time which was 2:00. We arrived around 1:30. Overall the food was good. A little annoying because we had to ask for more than 2 items, but not a bad place. We ll try again .“

“Everything is delish.. everything bagel w smoked salmon, cream cheese. Capers...yum
Singing beach turkey sandwich keeps me from ordering anything
else because soo good. Avocado toast was perfect as well. On a side note, I left my wallet on the counter, and they saved it for me!“

“How anyone could give this place a bad review makes no sense to me. You've probably already read from the other reviews that the staff is incredible, but truly -- they are. They are so kind and welcoming to every single person that comes in. Aside from that, the coffee is AMAZING! They have so many different flavors to choose from and you can customize any drink however you like (even if it's not on the menu). Also, the breakfast sandwiches... wow. Get 'The Stallion', just trust me. Prices are completely reasonable. Honestly, no other coffee place I've been to even compares. I'll be a longtime customer!“

“What can I say other than magical?! We were fortunate enough to host my son’s 11th birthday party in the back room (The kids loved the secret hidden entrance through the bookcase). Tons of great games for all ages and the food was fantastic! Literally everything we had was gourmet quality and up to my foodie 11 year-old’s standards. We will definitely be back if not just for the food!“

“Delicious breakfast! Everything cooked perfectly!“

“Dawn and Sharon are two great people with a great story. Their donuts are truly the best and their staff does a great job handling the hustle and bustle in the mornings. Definitely an asset to the area and I love the fact they have a donut truck. Thank you ladies“

“Delightful culinary fixture of the north shore. Food is top notch; better than home made.“

“I love taking meetings over coffee at Kid Dream. The Sunshine pours in the windows and the baristas pour a great brew! I really enjoy their Golden Milk. Everyone that I introduce to the shop ends up loving it!“

“Come for the coffee, stay for the croissants. If you haven't been here already I humbly recommend you come down and check it out for yourself.“

“Gluten Free Chocolate Chip cookies! That's the one thing my wife wants me to let you know. We were fortunate to stop here while traveling through. We got a few coffees, crescents (not GF) and cookies. After we drove away my wife started raving about how amazing the GF Chocolate Chip cookies were. She told me several times they were the best she ever had and wished that we had gotten more. I had a bite (even though I love gluten in my cookies) and I have to admit they were great. Thanks for a great treat! My wife's only regret is that we were traveling (11 hours away) and we won't be in the area again to get some more. If you stop by, be sure to eat a GF cookie for her!“

“Natalie & her staff are awesome! Brought my wife here for her birthday. We really enjoyed the açaí bowls & the waffles! Look fwd 2 our next visit :“

“The best bagels around and absolutely amazing cappuccino. The only reason for the 4 stars vs 5 on service is because the young girl I constantly get just doesn't seem to want to be there. Don't get me wrong service is fast, orders come out exactly how you ordered them. However, the counter staff taking your order should, at the very least, be pleasant.“

“Took my daughter for a ice cream to celebrate her first day of school yesterday...I haven't been 30+ years (😳) Oh the nostalgia!!! What a great space with all the fun candy displays and the ice cream bar was just how I remembered! Can't wait to go back! Thank you!!“

“I joined their wine club to make my wine nights that much easier. Parking was super easy and my pick-up was quick. They have plenty of add-ins to level-up my fancy dinners including the fresh fancy pasta, flavored salts, and cured meats.“

“70 years old. saw the cafe' and stopped for breakfast. Best I ever had. Corned beef hash and hash browns perfect. Eggs benedict great. Waffles perfect. best service,friendly staff. Great atmosphere. probably never be around here again. tooooo bad“

“Shhhh...don't tell too many people about this place lol. This is a hidden GEM. I went in today for one of their bowls and it was delicious. Everything I had was well made, really really good, and most importantly hot. Thinking of doing their meal plans at some point, and wish I lived closer. I will be definitely be back here; appreciate your services and making the food nutritionally healthy and yummy. Well done!“

“Entered the store when it was mostly empty, yet waited at least 20 minutes for a single sandwich order, watching as they piled up online order after online order on the counter. This is a lunch spot in a corporate center; they should be prioritizing the people ordering onsite. The sandwich was great, though.“

“Much better than the Seabrook NH one which is extremely dirty and employees are miserable and rude. The one in Newburyport is clean, nice people to deal with and hard working. Many people have stopped going to Paneras in Seabrook. As a Uber driver I hear everything from customers.“

“Panera Bread is my go-to spot for fresh, flavorful food and a cozy atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone—whether I’m craving a warm soup and sandwich combo or a fresh salad. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the bread and pastries are top-notch. The staff is friendly, service is quick, and it’s the perfect place to relax with a coffee or catch up with friends. Always a pleasant experience!“
