46 Best Cafes near Marlborough

“Unfortunately, we'll be taking a break from VinBin... We've loved this place since we moved here 6 years ago, but the last few months our experience continues to go down and today solidified our decision.

Since we started getting sandwiches from the cafe everything has always been delicious! High quality ingredients, and always super tasty! However, the last few months several of our orders have been made incorrectly and today one of our sandwiches came with a rubber band melted into the sandwich... While the ingredients continue to be extremely high quality, the service creation and delivery has declined drastically.

I hope things will turn back around!“

“Not much to say but they were excellent. We didn't have to wait for coffee refills, food didn't take long at all to come out and the server was wonderful to us. Oh atm on site they only take cash.

Parking: Parking in front and behind the building where they have another entrance.“

“I work construction right down the street and around the corner and needed a quick eat to bite. I saw this place on maps and went to check it out. There was no one inside but the two ladies working in the kitchen behind the counter. One of them asked me what can she get for me and made me an egg sandwich right there. Great service, great food, I highly recommend.“

“amazing food always and super nice people“

“Great food and lovely people“

“We ordered the Turkey Avocado bacon Sandwhich with squash soup and the grilled cheese with a chicken noodle soup.The turkey Sandwhich was really good along with the squash soup,the squash soup was very sweet though,it must have sugar in it,when we make homemade squash soup it's not sweet at all,but more natural,still worth ordering though,the grilled cheese looked good as well,defiantly worth checking Panara bread out

Vegetarian options: For dietary ask how much sugar is in the Squash soup“

“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!“

“Tazza Caffe and Paninoteca sandwiches for lunch! OMG the sandwiches are huge! Authentic Italian Sue had the Tutto with mortadella, suppressants, Capitola, prosciutto stracciatella cheese, tomatoes, onions, pickles, hot cherry peppers and garden greens on delicious seeded bread. I had the LaGemma piadina with roast beef, tomatoes. Charred onions and herbed cheese. Both are excellent, Pictured is about a quarter of the sandwich. The service was great and the food is so fresh.They are reasonably priced, This place is the real deal. located in Northborough! #sandwiches #italian #delish“

“My wife and I took our 3 year old daughter to check out this new coffee shop after it came up in a Google search. Let me say I had not met the couple that owns the shop before today, and yet I have never felt so invested in wanting to see a new shop succeed as much as I did this one! The owners are a lovely young couple, extremely friendly, and accommodating. They love what they do and it shows in the quality of the food. I ordered the Pi (egg sandwich) and a cold brew coffee. Both were excellent. They roast their own coffee beans and it had just the right amount of roasted coffee flavor. There were a dozen other things I wanted to try, including the creme brulee cheescake, the baklava cheese cake, and the Greek pies. My wife got a hot coffee with almond milk, mocha and peppermint. I like my coffee creamy, and this was the first coffee with almond milk that tasted good to me. I have found my new favorite coffee shop in the area. Whatever you're doing, drop it and visit Coffee & Pi now!“

“Vivacity is a whole vibe- don’t miss out!“

“Fresh, delicious food catered for our family get together. Erin & team were so helpful & made our day special.“

“I just started eating here and everything I’ve had has been perfect - and I’m a picky eater! The home fries are hands down my favorite!“

“I am convinced this is my favorite sandwich spot in the US. I live in Los Angeles but work brings me to the …boroughs 3-4 times a year. With out fail, everyday I don’t have a work lunch I come here and bounce between the Angry Italian and the Crazy Caprese. The bread, the meats, the cheeses are all incredible on their own, but when the come together OMG.“

“I was early for an appointment in Sudbury and decided I was in dire need of caffeine on a cold rainy day, so I stopped at the drive thru for the first time & was wowed by the iced latte I ordered and the blueberry muffin also! The latte was strong, but not bitter, right up there with any Starbucks, Dunkin, or Honey Dew! And the muffin was amazing, much better than anything from a chain coffee shop, super sweet, flavorful & you could tell it was fresh! The barista couldn’t have been nicer! 10/10 I can’t wait to come back!! P.S. - located right near a tj maxx, perfect to stop if you’re doing a little shopping as well :)“

“Gave service a 3 because you walk up, order and wait. No table service. Not a bad thing.

The Apple Muffin I had was GIGANTIC. Sustained me for most of the day!

Coffee was delicious, and they're set up for Al Fresco noshing & sipping. Great on a beautiful early autumn day.“

“I had the pleasure of joining all my Aunts for a great afternoon experience at Special Teas! The food was so delicious. We spent 4 hours in our own private cozy room sipping on flavorful tea and enjoying one another’s company. The owner was incredible helping us out with the menu and sharing some of her baking secrets with us! It was a memory with my Aunt-teas that I will have forever! ☕️❤️“

“amazing breakfast specials. came from out of town. if I ever go to Boston again I will come here. I was. never dissappointed with anything. everything was visually appealing.“

“This tiny place really wowed up! A great variety of baked goods options and some wonderful breakfast options. I got the vegetable omelet which was very flavorful. My partner got the nest skillet and also the orange granola pancake - both impressive! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area.“

“BEYOND impressed! Was told by 4 other bakeries that they could only make paper print cut outs & not put an actual Corona on the cake. Called Dulce D Leche & the owner was so HELPFUL & kind! I sent him a photo of my idea & he brought it to life!! Wonderful service, wonderful product. Thank you so much!“

“I always enjoy the coffee and delicious sandwiches at The Vintage Cafe! Each time I go, I've ordered a different sandwich and enjoyed each one. Annette and Mary always make you feel welcomed. Also, love the atmosphere and comfy chairs!“

“I loved the food, the corn muffin on the grill with butter is wonderful and the fact that the coffee is free refill is a differentiator. The atmosphere is very cozy, the service is great but they need to hire more attendants. One person just to answer the phone, do the cash register, take orders and serve is insufficient.“

“Finally got to the Melody Maker this morning, and I’m so mad that it took me this long! Zach (spelling?) was welcoming and cheerful. I ordered two bagel sandwiches, an iced chai and a black iced coffee. Everything was made fresh and reasonably fast! The vibe is amazing, with lots of local art and crafts for sale. My bagel sandwich (the mozzarella Vespa) was EXCELLENT and my chai was delicious. We will be returning soon!“

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

“My favorite coffee spot! Friendly/fast customer service, awesome atmosphere and amazing coffee and food. Can't ask for much more. Highly recommend the acai bowls!“

“Denise and her team just catered my wedding this past Saturday. We are so beyond pleased with everything. Presentation was splendid. Our guests loved the food (especially the crab cakes!) and there was plenty of food to ensure everyone was full. And then the dessert was utterly over-the-top. My grandmother, who hardly ever indulges in sweets, ate about 10 blueberry tarts. The macarons (my #1 request) were all delicious. Beyond everything, the reason to work with Elm’s Cafe is because of Denise. She was a delight to work with- relaxed, attentive, detail-oriented. She made sure my vision came to life and went out of her way to help us.“

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

“They make everything fresh, every day they're open. Baker is top notch! Try the almond or chocolate croissants - they're marvelous! Yum-o-rama! Coffee is incredible too....“

“has the gluten free options I've been searching for and Fab coffee“

“I love starting my day here everyday! Peter and his staff are so kind. They know my order by heart at this point which makes my day even easier! The coffee and breakfast sandwiches are delicious! Can’t recommend MSBF enough!“

“love their selection of ice creams and toppings and not to forget their coffees are good too!!“

“This is a laid back place with a country store feel. Some indoor seating and an outdoor patio. Stopped by today for some muffin tops and pastries to go.. Muffins, morning glory and blueberry were excellent... very fresh & moist. My pecan and raspberry pastry was enjoyable but a bit dry. A good place for lunch... salads, soups, sandwiches. Excellent, friendly service..“

“Went today for the first time. Loved the vibe of the place. Very cozy. Got the lobster roll, and honestly it was one of the best I have ever had. Bun was grilled to perfection, just enough mayo, and beautifully presented. The chocolate chip cookie was gooey and soft. I was very satisfied. To top it all off, I left my purse there and they stayed open past closing so I could return to get it. Can't wait for a return visit. Go, you won't be disappointed!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Staff were so kind. The food tasted so fresh and yummy. The scenery was bright and comfortable. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great, healthy meal.“

“delicious breakfast portions, wonderful prices“

“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!!!!“

“What an oasis. We stopped by today and could not believe what a hidden gem we found. Wonderful selection of coffee, baked goods, grilled sandwiches... everything we had tasted fresh, a tomato soup was absolutely fabulous as well as 2 different types of muffins we had. My favorite is cinnamon. ? They offer coffee, T-shirts, hoodies and mugs too. Music is so calming and lovely that you feel like being somewhere at the beach. And the staff were so good!! Helpful, smily and nice.“

“30min wait on a Sunday AM at 10am. Once we sat down the service was fast and the food came really quickly. The waffles were very undercooked, but the rest of the food was great!

Dietary restrictions: No problem with peanut or shellfish allergies unless you want the crepes.“

“Really, a great experience here. I went here with my family and we had a great family time. The outside sitting is wonderful. Loved the service. They are still trying to catch up with the new management and they are doing their best. I enjoyed their pizza and my husband loved their sandwich. The liquor store is also interesting. Worth a try!!!“

“Best bread, hands down. Every time I go I try something different and so far everything has been delicious, healthy 7 grains, traditional French, Irish soda bread (both traditional and white chocolate cranberry were amazing!) all different kinds of muffins and their scones! I had biscotti today and that was so good! And everyone work there are always nice and friendly, I feel so lucky to have this little gem near me!“

“Awesome decaf coffee choices and the bagel sandwiches were amazing!“

“I drive here from two towns away most mornings for breakfast. Food is fresh (excellent omelets), service is always friendly and the place is always clean and welcoming.“

“I would recommend the food is wonderful, usually the service is good! Almost always! Two weeks ago I was here and the girl that was at the register left the register because she was under pressure because supposedly I ordered too many things! She walked away crying if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work somewhere! I asked if you was upset with me I ordered you pick 2 cream of broccoli soup one turkey bravo half of sandwich a cup of iced coffee and some chicken for my dog one orange scone! So what’s the problem! I don’t know today when I went back to Panera bread the girl with the yellow nails was so nice to me, she is a great worker, but come to find out, the nice Brazilian girl in the kitchen said you complains last time and you made the girl cry I said how did I complain I never complained! Maybe she was just having a bad day but not because of me! I felt kind of off guard when I went to pick up my food, So again if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work at Panera bread! It’s my money and I spend it where I want to spend it I work hard for it so Customer is always right I wasn’t rude I was always pleasant every time I come here or anywhere I go me and my service dog! I like an apology from Panera bread this is a palling very disturbing! If I ask for something extra I pay extra for it bottom line the customers always right, if you want them to return! Treat them well, & leave your problems at home don’t bring them to work with you blaming others that your upset with them when in fact it’s something else that’s going on in your life! I did not treat her badly at all! For the record the rest of the staff is very nice, but when the girl started crying of course I felt very bad for her I thought someone died in her family or something no one told me that she was upset with me! Course I feel still feel bad for the poor girl maybe somethings happening in her life that she took it out on me on the customer don’t bring your problems to work! I hope that the manager talks to the girl to comfort her what ever she is upset with! But I know it was not me!“

“Great iced coffee, bagels and caesar wraps!“

“My only request is that I could could get delivery straight from them. Door dash will have to do. The food is always great, I mean I eat it at least there times a week.and it doesn't hurt that they support local farms and build communities around foodways. You go, clover food lab, you go!“

“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??‍♀️“
