50 Best Cafes near Lynn

“Union Cafe has become one of my favorite go-to places in Lynn, MA. My wife and I recently moved to the area and upon visiting Union Cafe, we found the options limited for us due to the fact my wife and I are both vegan. After speaking with the very friendly owner, Charbell, and telling him, though we loved the place, thaat except for muffins, and beverages, there wasn't much for us to eat. He asked us what he could do to facilite us and after brought in Impossible burgers and Felafel wraps, both vegan. It has now become our regualar haunt. The entire staff is very friendly and provides exceptional service. I love when a business owner listens to his customers and responds so well. BTW, my wife loves the felafel and they cook the Impossible burger to order which is fantastic!“

“I tried the cinnamon coffee muffin this morning...fabulous! It was moist & flavorful & paired well with my hot & delicious java. I'll definitely be back soon.“

“best boba tea great customer service“

“I love this place!!!! I don't know what some people say, but I've been a customer for a year and I've never had any problems!!! 5*+“

“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 !!“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Amazing coffee and food! Not super sweet like other shops and the coffee is flavorful! Great friendly service!“

“I had the Hot honey glazed chicken sandwich. It was the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had a lot of vegan sandwiches.“

“A fantastic gem with excellent customer service! Get The Hero coffee, it was delicious. Everything was so good and fresh!“

“I stopped by Sorelle Bakery & Cafe near Boston’s Financial District, and it felt like a perfect little spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break. The café has a relaxed neighborhood vibe, with people grabbing coffee on their way to work or sitting down for a casual lunch.

I ordered a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and both were fresh and satisfying. The bakery also has a good selection of pastries, muffins, scones, soups, salads, and sandwiches, making it a convenient place for either breakfast or a light lunch.

The service was quick and friendly, which makes sense since many customers are office workers from nearby buildings. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable—nothing fancy, but a nice place to relax for a few minutes in the middle of a busy downtown area.

Overall, Sorelle Bakery & Cafe is a solid choice if you want good coffee, fresh pastries, and a quick, casual meal while exploring or working in downtown Boston“

“After living nearby for more than a year, I finally visited Bikeeny Caffe this week. The pastries were delightful! My favorites were the Italian cheese blend pastry and the honey pecan pastry in the photo I’ve included. The employees were cheerful and kind. I plan to return at least once every week!“

“So sad. Today was their last day in Allston. Going to miss them...and their banana bread!“

“This is my favorite coffee spot in Beverly. They are always well staffed and friendly, and their baristas are consistent with drink and espresso shot quality. I’ve been here often enough over the past year that I can tell they have good staff retention, which is a good sign that they treat their people well, and I know helps with that quality and consistency.

I recommend their hot chocolate with their house made marshmallow, anything with espresso in it, and their tot bowls. Their tater tots are delicious and any sandwich can be made into a tot bowl.

I would skip the bakery items unless you have a little one, they are the only item type that I’d skip here. That said, I’d love to see babka or homemade poptarts in the case, but am happy with my hot food and iced latte.“

“stopped on our vacation to Boston while exploring in Salem! such a cute little shop!! our drinks were perfection!! I got a something seasonal coconut brulee? we also had a caramel latte both were delicious! amazing Boba selection too!!“

“Had a wonderful time, especially thanks to the tour guide(s) at 4 pm. The main leader, “Sarah,” definitely made the experience worthwhile. There was a giant group of young kids that weren’t paying much attention (as young kids do-not a complaint) yet we were able to learn and enjoy the amazing museum and experiences nonetheless. They were very accommodating, humorous, and well equipped to handle large groups of people while keeping their attention. We liked the experience and would go back.“

“Probably the only place in the area that actually uses a fresh fried egg! I’ve tried every single other coffee shop in Salem and Crave remains my favorite by a longshot. They use actually quality ingredients (not a microwave) and compared to other coffee shops, are actually quite reasonable for the area. Service is always friendly too :)“

“The food is so delicious. My kids loved the food. My husband I loved it too. The english muffin with sausage and bacon were amazing. Yogurt parfait with fruits was the best I ever tasted. Service is amazing. Place is small but doesnt matter, the heart is there. I highly recommend this place. Very good prices.“

“We’ve visited several Tatte locations over the years and this one was just as enjoyable. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a menu that feels surprisingly Mediterranean-inspired for the U.S.

A great spot for breakfast or brunch, offering plenty of tasty options in a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Back Bay. ☕🥐🍳“

“Great food big portions great prices friendly people quick service comfortable atmosphere they don't rush you out of there you can take your time relax and enjoy your meal“

“Not much more to say that OUTSTANDING!! he food is delicious, abundant, varied, signature to them in tastes and styles, affordable, local, fresh - and served/prepared by an amazing crew!! It's a tiny place, which you would think would discourage many. But not here!! That should tell you something. Not only is there a line out the door for 'to-go' ordering, but people filing in and out who ordered ahead - not to mention those ]like myself] willing to wait - cramped - patiently awaiting a seat to open in order to dine in. Ya, to some it might seem more hassle than the hype. But I say the hassle is because the hype is true!! Anything worth having is worthy a bit of struggle to get it. JAC's is an excellent example of that! Thank you to the entire crew for all you do, your hard work and dedication to quality shines through!“

“Grande Burrito, X-Tudo, chicken stucks, Coxhinas“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“Thank you for GREAT customer service and making me feel welcome. The cafe is immaculate and the food and drink was delicious! My first Iced Matcha!!! Well worth the visit from SW France 🇺🇸🇫🇷 Great merchandise and appreciated the WiFi....Á bientôt!“

“We bought GH coffee in Boston a couple years ago. Best coffee ever!“

“A bit of a wait (15 minutes) at 11am on a Friday. Service was good and the food was excellent. My wife had the deluxe French toast and I had the breakfast burrito with sausage. The food was piping hot and I actually had to wait a few minutes for it to cool off. Excellent spot!“

“Vegan POV: the broccolini, squash and hummus wrap is delicious and worth the visit. Sadly, no soy milk option for coffee - only oat 😦and almond 😫(opinions about non dairy milk options are my own). I didn't see vegan pastry options, but I admittedly wasn't looking for them, so might have missed one.“

“5/5

-delicious brunch items such as the smoked salmon sandwich and the avocado salmon toast with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked fish
-immaculate pastries/sweets that has a balance of sweetness and good textures“

“Really enjoyed this coffee shop! The espresso was excellent—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot in the South End for a quality espresso and a relaxing coffee break!“

“Amazing as always!! Staff and service wonderful.“

“I recommend their Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant Grilled. Amazingly good.“

“Breaking Grounds is my favorite place to grab a coffee and sit for a bit. The food is delicious too! But, the best thing about B.G. is the friendly welcome and happy atmosphere.“

“So excited I got to enjoy the Roasted Turkey Sandwich today! Love the T.V. show & cookbooks so this visit was a bucket list item.“

“Aesthetic specialty coffee and brunch in Southie with outdoor seating! I liked the space and the minimalist vibe it had. There are lots of specialty coffee and matcha options, and they keep the menu seasonal which is nice. I especially appreciate that they don't upcharge based on milk choice! The breakfast sandwiches were great, on super good focaccia bread, and were a great portion size. Overall the prices were quite high, but worth it for the quality, and ambiance. They do have a no laptop policy on the weekends, I'm not sure how strictly it's enforced, but something to keep in mind.“

“Erica at the register was so nice and she had some great recommendations. Their pita Mac was one of the best burgers I ever had. I loved their hummus and the green feta dip. The rotisserie chicken was delicious also. I will definitely be back“

“Love this place come here with my nieces all the time I come here for the afternoon just to read my book or do some work on my notepad. I love how fresh the coffee is and the pastries people are very nice. The pace is very good. they take care of you very well“

“Tried several Tatte and this one is special. Food is always perfect and if ever someone has taken my online order, the managers always assist and get is asap. Store is super clean and service is always special. I do like the small talk. Mary, Francesca Gm, Roselyn, Hector always know my order and drinks. Totally worth the daily trip.“

“Brewin Cafe is easily the best cofre place in Revere! The owners are so kind and welcoming, coffee is delicious and our bagels were fresh and tasty. The menu is expansive and flavors for coffee are endless. Even as out of towners, it was obvious how much their regulars love Brewin Cafe! We will definitely be coming back next time we’re in the area.“

“This small bakery boasts a 4.9 rating on Google Maps, specializing in freshly made New England muffins daily. It's truly unique!

G.O.A.T.: My first time trying it, I opted for the Classic English Muffin. The crust is pan-fried, not baked, giving it a slightly crispy texture without being hard, reminiscent of cornbread in a Northeastern Chinese tieguodun鐵鍋燉 (iron pot stew). The inside is soft, chewy, and perfectly moist, with a slightly sticky texture when combined with the sauce. A muffin unlike any I've ever had! The goat cheese butter flavor is rich, the pesto provides a mild nutty aroma, and the unique fragrance of arugula instantly evokes the slightly excessive sunshine of the Mediterranean.

Latte: Just okay, but you absolutely need a drink with it.“

“I frequent Cannonball Cafe for coffee and to switch up my WFH atmosphere. The pastries, lattes, iced coffees, and toasts that I have tried have all been delicious, and I always look forward to getting to spend the day at Cannonball when I choose to work from there. I love how the team at Cannonball is always thinking of new and fresh ideas when it comes to drinks and events, from unique lattes to farmers markets on Sundays and a beautiful new patio, they have been a great addition to the neighborhood and it's fun and exciting to watch them grow and develop. Where Cannonball really shined recently is when I called to place a large cookie order for our wedding welcome party. Rachel was happy to take on the order on short notice, and made some of THE MOST delicious cookies I have ever had (chocolate chip with sea salt, snickerdoodle, and sugar cookies with sprinkles.) Our guests loved them, and the 50 cookies that we ordered were gone by the end of the night (and we only had 35 guests!) I would highly recommend Cannonball for a quick coffee, a nice work day vibe, or to bring desserts to for your next party or event!“

“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!“

“The food is good but don't look at the menu online because it is not what they offer.“

“Cafe 180 Serves coffee and fresh pastries with a smile. Excellent place to meet a colleague or friend. Highly Recommend!“

“Great local place for breakfast, cold brew, smoothies, pupsicles, or a light lunch!“

“I’m so glad a great cafe has opened in Eastie! I’ve been twice and my latte was great both times. I’m excited to try their cold brew when the weather is warmer. Clearly they are doing well since opening; all the tables were occupied when I went in today. I would love if they offered more seating (maybe replace the 4-person tables with more 2-person tables? or put bar seating along the windows?). Looking forward to regularly stopping by Kaori.“

“There’s a ramp to get in, but it is an odd turn and a bit steep and narrow at the entry (lined with chairs) so be careful. The latte was okay. The almond milk was good but the espresso was quite bitter. I did REALLY like the chocolate cake though. Fantastic!!!“

“good service great food, friendly staff“

“We love Sweet Java! Everything is absolutely delicious and made with love! It has a wonderful atmosphere. The Grecian Acai bowls are to die for!!! Yum! ❤️“

“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!“

“Food was delicious, waitress was excellent and friendly. Wasn't rushed as was meeting with a friend that I hadn't seen in years and we were eating, talking and catching up! Would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Roomy, clean and excellent food!“
