50 Best Cafes near Needham

“This was my first time and I had a very good experience. From the minute I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile. This is very important to set the tone for any business.

I ordered a toasted everything bagel with lox spread and veggies. The bagel was fresh and tasty. The tomatoes actually tasted like fresh tomatoes! The fact that this stands out speaks to other businesses that may not use as fresh ingredients.

The lox spread has a nice texture and is subtly flavored. I would recommend that if you want a strong lox taste to also order their smoked salmon.

I also ordered a large iced coffee. The coffee was delicious and the large was gigantic, which made me very happy.

Accessibility: the staff is very attentive and quickly activated their ramp for customers needing special assistance.

The prices are also very good. I will definitely come back.“

“Popular cafe, we sat outside by the road which was fine as the traffic is quite. Lots of food/snack/drink options, clean toilets.
I note their sign about not supporting the proposed 2 lane road and removing the on street parking - I couldn’t agree more, the (very nice) atmosphere driving through Needham would be ruined by this proposal and I hope it fails.“

“This place is super. I had nleave after I ordered cause my sister got out of her appointment early and I asked if I could put my breakfast on hold and pay for the coffee. The owner said not to worry and I could pay when I got back. I thought that was very sweet when I could ha e easily not returned. I know, its coffee, but its the principal. Food was great, and reasonably priced. Nicely decorated, and clean. If Im in the area again, I'll definitely come back“

“Good food but the Mediterranean grain bowl is not nearly as good as the lentil one with umami“

“I have been going to Bagels Best since I was a kid with my grandfather every morning after I slept over. They have had the best bagels by a long shot and I have traveled across the state to get their bagels, breakfast bagel, and smoked salmon which is spectacular! Such great food in a great establishment run by amazing people who care about their customers. Highly recommended!!“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“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“

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

“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 (-:“

“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.😋“

“I don't usually review, but I've had such good experiences here. Despite the fact that I'm usually rushing in about ten minutes before closing, the staff is always so kind and helpful every time. I've liked pretty much everything I've tried here, but the Thai Tea Latte and Choco-Oreo Balls tend to be my go-to (with things like the Banoffee Cake or the Strawberry Shortcake when I'm feeling fancy). I routinely get to my 7:00 pm events an hour early because if I'm going to Union Square, I want to make it to Maprang before they close at 6:00 pm. A true neighborhood gem!“

“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.“

“Our only go to for breakfast! Great food and the best staff!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“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.“

“It’s great having a close by GF bakery !! Love the new decor and options.“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Stopped in on a whim and had a great meal. I was with my mother and my daughter all of us enjoyed the place. There was a little something for everyone even had a cocktail; we will be back.!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great coffee. Delightful owners“

“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.“

“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“

“Burger is the best for me 😘“

“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.“

“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“

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

“My favorite store, drink delicious 😋“

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

“Four Piece Suit is what makes it worth visiting! We have been following them since the 90s, when they were playing music in Tam O’Shanter pub in Brookline, MA. They gathered a huge crowd the day we saw them for the first time. We were fortunate to get in the pub because they were so famous.“

“Every once and awhile you come across a business that has it all - an outstanding product, genuinely wonderful people and an approach to customer service that restores your faith in humanity. Cafe Fresh Bagel delivers on all of those fronts. The bagels are superb and the variety, freshness and flavor of the wares on display is unsurpassed. The people who run the establishment are the kind of individuals that serve as the epitome of what entrepreneurs should be - hardworking, dedicated and thoughtful. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else for my bagels…!“

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

“Stopped in today- super cute bakery, amazing chicken salad sandwich and a nice little place to get some work done while having lunch- will definitely be coming by again to try the soup when I'm in the area!“

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

“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.“
