50 Best Coffee Shops near Newton Centre

“We had our wedding cake designed and baked at Luna's Bakery and we HIGHLY recommend. They executed our vision beautifully and were a pleasure to work with. The cake was delivered on time and without any issue, the team is quick to respond, and our guests could not stop talking about the brigadeiro flavor. We had a three tier cake with a vintage design. Stop by Luna's Bakery to try all their delicious flavors and get a coffee while you're there. We can't wait for our first anniversary to have our top tier!!“

“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!“

“Glazed Bytes Coffee is selling itself short by being tucked inside a tiny, painfully forgettable mall in Brookline. The coffee itself? Not forgettable at all.

We ordered two Cloud Foam Lattes (I think that was the name), and that foam was ridiculous in the best way possible. It sits somewhere between an absurdly fluffy marshmallow and canned whipped cream, except smoother, creamier, and somehow lighter at the same time. I genuinely have no idea how they made foam feel “luxurious”, but there we are.

The coffee underneath actually held its own too. Strong flavour, unique profile, not just another Instagram café trying to survive off aesthetics and oat milk. Properly good coffee.

Honestly, the mall needs them more than they need the mall. Places like this drive foot traffic way harder than another random clothing shop nobody remembers walking into. More food spots. More cafés. More reasons for people to actually stay there.

Really good spot. Hidden gem energy.“

“super friendly!! helpful in selecting coffee and grinds!!“

“Best cortado that I have had in Boston for sure. Such a great coffee shop. Love the cleanliness and decoration as well.“

“We ate at bom dough when we visited my grandson who lives on Cambridge Street . Food was delicious and unique. Would love to send him a gift card , and would also eat there again if we visit him.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“This place has the best coffee in town. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Lunch menu is just as good. Cookies, scones and muffins are all delicious. The owners Peter and Siri bend over backwards to please their customers. The register and serving crew Lisa and Isabel are great.“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“My husband and I had the cornbread, raspberry currant muffin, cold brew flight, carnitas taco, elote taco, and avocado tostado. All of it was amazing and affordable!!“

“Great food and coffee and tea! Friendly staff! Beautiful atmosphere with lots of light and pleasing design.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“This place is the absolute best. I come here weekly with friends and could talk about why I love it all day. Highly, highly recommend. Some highlights:
-incredibly friendly staff who make you feel comfortable and at home
-delicious food and beverages, with fun monthly/seasonal specials and excellent vegan friendly options
-impeccable cozy vibes. Just perfect for a relaxing morning
-often bring other friends and visitors here, who all love it too“

“I had a wonderful time here. The atmosphere was calm and cozy, and it was nice and cool inside, making it the perfect place to relax. The staff members were also incredibly friendly. I was so touched that they served a piece of Turkish delight with my Turkish coffee—what a thoughtful touch! Thank you for such a great experience!“

“Cute, cozy cafe with some delicious signature lattes. My favorite is the tiger brown sugar latte. Fresh baked goods are available too. Support your local small business, but be prepared to take everything to go because there are only 3 counter seats inside so not the kind of cafe where you can park with a laptop for hours.“

“Excellent customer service, food, and coffee flavors! I come here every week on lunch break, could not recommend more.“

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

“A block away from Central Sq, Cicada is one of our favorite for a cosy dinner.

We went there for the second time on a Friday night and had the chicken sticky rice, the salmon avocado tartare as well as the seared salmon rice together with a glass of sparkling wine. The food is inventive and flavorful with appropriate prices for the quality, although not cheap.

The perfect place for a date night in Cambridge!“

“Highly recommend stopping by Wicked Cafe in Somerville! Coffee ☕️, tea 🫖 , food 🍲 and hospitality are top notch! Mike was fantastic! 🤩👍🏽“

“Honey cinnamon iced coffee + cherry-ginger scone is my favorite treat breakfast when i’m in the north end for doctors appointments!“

“I expected a bit more from Central Perk, but there really wasn’t anything special about it. The coffee was very basic, and the pastries were simple both in flavor and variety. It’s a nice spot for a photo, but not somewhere I’d keep coming back to.“

“Fantastic breakfast! Best in Boston hands down.“

“Phinista is my goat it has yet to (severely) disappoint!! Great study spot if you're willing to wait for a table (usually doesn't take me longer than 10-15 mins). Of their matchas, my favorite is their pandan, but their ube and strawberry are good too. I like their pastries, though their cookies are a bit dry. Highly recommend their bowls if you want actual food; they give big portions and everything is seasoned well.“

“Kicco coffee was a little hard to find but extremely worth it. Ordered some fresh bombolino (italian donuts) you can pick how you want it filled and it’s made fresh to order. We got the coffee cream and salted caramel both topped with chocolate. Safe to say we inhaled both. The coffee cream was so smooth and tasty I should’ve got a cup of it too. We ordered specialty lattes. The vanilla chocolate cream puff with an actual chocolate covered cream puff inside & the cannoli latte. The cannoli latte was topped with chocolate chip cannoli cream and a piece of cannoli shell. Both lattes were incredibly good. The fun part about this place is you can choose your espresso as well! The kicco blend was great inside the cannoli latte tons of flavor yet strong and bold espresso. Staff was super friendly. Would recommend“

“Phin has quickly become one of my favorite coffee places in Boston.“

“Walked into Le Cafe Bakery on Kneeland Street without much expectation and honestly left really impressed.

The space is cute and cozy, with a warm vibe that makes you want to sit for a bit instead of just grabbing something and leaving.

The tarts are definitely the highlight here.

The Dubai chocolate tart was my favorite. If you’ve seen the Dubai chocolate trend online, this actually lives up to it rich, layered, and really satisfying without feeling overhyped.

The ube cheesecake tart was also really good. The ube flavor felt authentic, the cheesecake was smooth, and it was nicely balanced overall. It also looks great, which is always a plus.

The caramel cheesecake croissant tart was the most indulgent of the three. Flaky pastry, creamy filling, and just the right amount of caramel everything worked really well together.

For anyone looking for vegan-friendly options, the plain bagel is a solid choice fresh, chewy, and well made. Some of the spreads (like the blueberry cream cheese) are vegetarian rather than vegan, but the staff are friendly and happy to help you figure out what works best.

Overall, everything felt thoughtfully made. If you’re looking for good tarts in Boston or a vegetarian-friendly bakery in downtown Boston, this place is definitely worth checking out.

We also shared a reel from this visit on Instagram @bostonvegeats where we cover vegetarian-friendly spots around Boston.“

“We got to our hotel (Marriot Copley) around 10:30am. Jaho was right next door. So we thought “why not”. So glad we did. Thankful we did!!!! I had the salmon bagel (lox). Never, have I ever had a bagel that good. It was so amazing. My husband had a turkey sandwich. Which, we LOVED. We are going back before we leave Boston! This place is a Gem!!!“

“Delicious fresh authentic Liège waffles! Service was friendly and fast , highly recommended !!“

“To paraphrase Han Solo, "What a wonderful smell I discovered!"“

“I absolutely LOVE this place. We have so many brunch options in the area, but THIS is the right choice remember I said it. The mini donuts are a dream. I literally dreamt about them 🤣 Brussel sprouts are mouth watering & the apple cinnamon pancakes are out of this world! The breakfast sandwich is on a cheddar biscuit… nuff said! The service was so outstanding I didn’t have to ask for anything! They made me feel like I was family 💜 I will be back for dinner, which is just as great as brunch but for brunch look no further! The decor is something special as well. I posted a few pics but please go check it out for yourself. You won’t regret it! PS they love my dog. Spoiled her the entire time! lol 💜“

“Our favorite local coffee shop. They constantly pull delicious espresso, have a great selection of roasts, and the food always satisfies. The chocolate zucchini loaf cannot be missed! I also really appreciate that there’s no WiFi. It makes it easy to consistently find a place to sit because people aren’t camping out all day.“

“I loved hanging out there.“

“The sandwiches here are MASSIVE and loaded up. Get the sourdough!! Easily the softest, most moist sourdough I’ve ever had.

The pastries are also good. They are known for the maple scone, which was good but I found it a little dry/chalky. The banana chocolate chunk muffin was great.“

“Deliciousness!!! You made my day! 😁🌯“

“We went here because is was apparently ranked one of the top 20 bakeries in the US. It is on par with other local bakeries and I'm not sure why this one ranked any higher since we got at least 5 pasties to sample plus the baguette and everything was fine but not out of this world. I actually prefer the pasties at Salt. It's also incredibly cramped inside so just be prepared to grab and go.“

“Solid ground cafe has one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. My son has frequent inpatient stays at Childrens. This is the perfect quick walk to get a great breakfast and coffee.“

“AMAZING FOOD!! REALLY AMAZING!! A must visit if you're in Boston. Great vibe..just a fantastic all round wee place! Visiting from Scotland :-D“

“Delicious food and great coffee drinks! Excellent service from everyone and a super cute space —- highly recommend!“

“Blank Street Coffee on Mass Ave is an absolute gem!!! Their matcha is top tier & the staff truly sets the vibe; notably Nick, who is next level. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or lingering for a bit, this spot never dispoints!“

“This has amazing hot chocolate. Worth trekking too on an 80 degree humid day. The hot chocolate is creamy, smooth, rich, and sweet. The gentlemen who made mine was very kind and friendly, possibly the owner? A few more people behind me ended up asking for hot chocolate as well. I highly recommend this place, which also has a great food selection as well!

“If I lived in Boston..I would go bankrupt buying and eating all of the delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Cold brew was also delicious. The workers(owners??) were super sweet and patient! I love seeing high quality passion, this place is easily 10/10.“

“enjoyed a nice cappuccino“

“Had a great coffee here a couple of days ago. Anna, the barista, was especially nice and made me the perfect latte: so perfect that's better than anything I tasted in Italy, my home country (and you know we italians are very demanding when it comes to coffee...).
Thank you again Anna for the wonderful conversation. I indeed listened to Man in the Box by Alice in Chains as you suggested and it's an absolute banger“

“I ordered takeout from Mike & Patty’s and had the Baller Breakfast Sandwich. It was absolutely delicious! The bacon was perfectly crispy, the English muffin was soft and fluffy, and everything tasted fresh. It genuinely made me happy. I’ll definitely be coming back!“
