50 Best Cafes near Lexington

“Excellent, delicious food. Gluten free options available for pizzas and sandwiches. The cauliflower crust is thin and ideal. Soup is in a pot and slightly salty. Sandwiches have lots of meat, caramelized onion and are filling. Build your own option also turned out great.“

“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!“

“Delicious croissants, sandwiches, and treats!

Coffee is delicious.

Lots of seating with a beautiful big open
window area to enjoy your food.

A definite must try if you're in the area!“

“Hm.. it's surprising how your reviews are read by so many but NO reactions and responses! 😀

I l.o.v.e. Tatte! Me and family too! Food and ambience is great, and service is outstanding! I hope you have more Tattes in many more locations! Awesome team!“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Delicious, Yummy, Friendly, Locally owned, with baking ingredients specialities! We’re so happy to have this warm and inviting place around the corner from where we live. #support local !!“

“I can’t stop thinking about the egg cheddar I got. I eat eggs almost every day and this is one of the best egg and cheese sandwiches I’ve had. I love the spicy touch of the harissa, what a great addition.
Mocha was also good! Very cozy atmosphere“

“I absolutely love coming here! Katie and the rest of the staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable about their craft. The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting - you genuinely feel like you are hanging out in your friend's dining room catching up over a glass of wine. The selection is always top notch and a hot seasonal latte never disappoints too (-:“

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

“Though I have not been to the Cafe in person, the sandwich I had from there was one of the best I have ever eaten! Can't wait to go in person. 5 stars.😋“

“It's the best cheesecake I've ever had! I got the ube cheesecake and the Thai tea. Absolutely delicious incredible texture and flavor! Only reason it doesn't get a 5 out of 5 stars on atmosphere cuz there just was no room to even walk around with how many people there were sitting in there. other than that absolutely fantastic I will be back for the cheesecake 100%“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

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

“Awesome food and the staff is friendly. Also the hometown Cafe atmosphere is great.“

“Moved here from yelp: I always have a great experience at this location. The management staff are fantastic, even though I miss the ones that have since moved on to other locations (Burlington) or jobs. They always give a friendly greeting and modify drink orders to be just right. I also love that the Cafe Nero app has a student email verification for drink discounts - makes it more cost efficient than Dunkin or starbies.
One note is that you need to ask for the matcha to be made darker green if that floats your boat, and it makes you pay extra for that in the app. The actual matcha powder is quite good though.
One more note is that I have noticed the sandwiches have less content in them then they used to, to the point where now there are entire bites of just bread. I definitely have to inspect the sandwood options now before purchase and cannot buy them on the app ahead of time due to this.“

“great food, great service, and very friendly. worked with my nut allergy, which can be hard to find sometimes. Definitely worth check out if your in the area!“

“We knew we wanted Magic Bites to cater our family event and we were so pleased that we did! Atilla and Elif were helpful and patient planning the menu and everything was top notch delicious. They knew we had some allergies in the family and they made an extra effort to create large labels with all ingredients. I highly recommend them!!“

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

“One of our absolute favorite spots in town, we’re so lucky to have this in our community!“

“I have been enjoying this cafe for a few years now and am still always happy with the truly friendly service along with some of the best sandwichs ever. This is comparing to other great delis around the city. Their salami, capocollo, and provolone with everything on it, on a freshly baked and grilled toasted baguette has to be honestly in my top 3 sandwiches I have ever had in my life.“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“Dado is the best kept secret in Cambridge. A beautiful café that feels so peaceful, considered and thoughtful in its every detail—the perfect place to sit with a friend, or take some time to just be alone and read a book. The co-owner Namwon has great energy. He was always really kind and welcoming to me and my boyfriend (we are from Australia, but Dado felt like a little slice of home). The food is really tasty (I could never go past their egg-salad sandwich; my partner loves the bibimbap wrap), and Dado, of course, has an amazing selection of teas. More than just feeding the body, all the meals felt like they were nourishing the soul. Just good honest cooking—maybe the rarest of things today. We’re about to leave Harvard this semester, and one of the great things we’ll miss is Dado.“

“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.“

“Absolutely the BEST place to get boba tea! Of all the places I've gotten boba Teamoji is the BEST! They have a great menu that you can customize your orders. Their boba pearls have the best flavor of an I've tasted. I usually get mine to go but this Cafe is very cute and cozy with lots of beautiful plants. You can order ahead online.“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“Extremely friendly service/ Grabbed a coffee and a cranberry-orange muffin today- the muffin reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe- so moist!!! 👍“

“I got a bite to eat (noodles with mixed vegetables) at an affordable place nearby to where I was working. The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was delightful. I will definitely eat here again if I am in the area. Loved it.“

“Amazing Staff, amazing food !!! If You’re in Harvard Sq. don’t miss out!“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“TUDO UMA DELÍCIA , lugar aconchegante I LOVE !!! Recomendo!!“

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.“

“Spacious cafe with super cute indoor seating and a green outdoor seating area.

I got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel with tempeh bacon (that was great). Latte was also yummy and split a brown butter chocolate chip cookie (tasty and sweet). Would definitely come back, wish it was closer to where I lived!“

“The location, atmosphere, and service were great! The drinks were pretty good. The food was different for us but we’re from the south. It was good, but if you’re used to southern breakfasts, order something different so you won’t be disappointed! Their “salsa” was similar to tomato soup with no spice so that was unique!“

“It's such a nice and cozy spot. I tried the rose matcha latte, and it was really good—beautifully balanced and not too sweet. I also had one of their sandwiches; it was decent, though the drink stood out more. The atmosphere feels warm and relaxing, a lovely place to sit for a while and unwind“

“Food and drinks are great and owners are friendly (tried the pork buns). Background jazz music reminds me of cafes in Tokyo. Atmosphere is good…some low-top seating or a couch with a coffee table would make me want to come here to meet up with a friend for a quiet chat. Only has hi-top tables with bright lighting which are not as relaxing and comfortable.“

“This food is BOMBB and the place is so cute. I just picked up lunch from there for the first time and got the tuna and avocado sandwich. It was delicious! There were also so many handmade little gifts in there and I definitely want to go back to try more things.“

“One of my favorite coffee houses in the world; fuses together so many concepts (coffee, dining, co-working, live music/poetry slams, community center, solo seating, round tables, long tables, counter stools) all in a way that just fits and works together. Perfect harmony“

“Burger is the best for me 😘“

“My favorite store, drink delicious 😋“

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

“great food friendly atmosphere anall the staff are top notch“

“Enjoyed my apple cider during rainy evening tonight. Friendly and accommodating staff!“

“Welcoming and friendly with a community atmosphere. Delicious bagels - crisp and chewy in just the right ways. The scallion cream cheese is delicious - I assume they make it themselves. I love that they have smoothies too, which are huge and very filling. Highly recommend.“

“There is a fabulous vibe in the space. Yummy egg scramble and avocado toast. Smooth cold brew coffee.“

“Bagel sandwich with egg baco and cheese is my go to sandwich at Bagels and Brew and the coffees are delicious too . Highly recommended.“

“I used to come here a lot when I lived in the area. Good, cheap doughnuts and it will now be the successor to their recently closed parent shop Twin Donuts in Allston. Breakfast itself is okay just good value. Only annoying thing is they still use the old school system (signing receipts) so not that good to buy 1 donut with a credit card.“

“regarding a recent review from Katyko, I visited caffe ollo this morning and this is how this lovely place looks like. It has such an amazing atmosphere, their drinks are amazing, a very cozy and warm place to hang out & staff is so kind and welcoming. no shade but if you check closely that same review was also posted a year ago trying to make this place look bad when in reality it’s completely the opposite. love you ollo, will be back soon!“
