Great place for coffee and a bagel. Not a whole lot of space, especially in the colder months, but when it's warm there's plenty of seating down by the dam or in the park next door.

Absolutely love the Charles River Coffee House—easily a five-star gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by the cozy, inviting atmosphere and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee that instantly lifts your mood. The baristas are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do, always happy to chat or help you discover a new favorite. Their coffee is consistently excellent, whether it’s a classic espresso, a perfectly balanced latte, or one of their creative seasonal drinks. The pastries and breakfast sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of place that feels like a second home—ideal for catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just enjoying a peaceful moment with a great cup of coffee. Highly recommend!

Excellent offering of coffee, tea, other beverages, bakery, sandwiches and speciality products. Their muffins are very good and pretty large — nearly a meal in themselves! A muffin with iced coffee on a weekend morning is most satisfying! This cafe can get really crowded at times, just because it is an established landmark in the community. Across the street from the Bacon Free Library and South Natick Dam Park. Great pit stop for cyclists.

A nice place, very popular for takeout. Few seats inside, not air-conditioned (there is a small air conditioner but I'm not sure it works). The attraction for me is to grab a coffee and a pastry or a sandwich and sit in the small park across the street.

It’s a cute little coffee shop great location, but the sandwiches are really not good. The chicken salad is almost uneditable and I got a turkey the other day and it was a slab of unidentifiable meat Stick to coffee and muffins ✅

Awesome food, and a great selection of gluten-free baked goods. Not overpriced. The service can be slow at times but the quality of the food and the service more than makes up for it. I live a few minutes from S. Natick, and the place has been a lunch and meeting go-to spot for me for 20 years.

The Charles River Coffee House a hidden treasure. The food and atmosphere is perfectly suited to the suburban beauty of South Natick. Can't say enough about the staff... always friendly and helpful. Check it out... you'll be glad you did.
