50 Best Cafes near Newton

“OMG, I just made the Paltaypampa in my V60. This is an amazing coffee. Loaded with flavor and super smooth. I feel like this is the coffee I've been searching for. If you have a chance, get some!!!“

“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!“

“This place is wonderful and great to have lunch at and takeout at work at 159 Wells Ave and could not be happier with the place. Oscar and Renee are so nice and the food is great.“

“Awesome good food and awesome prices! Kid friendly and everybody is chill!“

“Such a wonderful place. The freshest of everything. Home made too. 💯💯💯 worth a try. You will keep coming back.“

“I order about 4x/wk from Tatte. I love it BUT lately: A salmon sandwich was drowning in sauce, having to scrape it off and dispose of bread; a Turkey Blat had so much mayo I could not taste the turkey, and an egg order was made wrong.“

“The espresso is good quality, but I happen to absolutely despise the taste of oat milk, so 3 inches of oat milk cold foam on my whole milk latte kind of ruined it this time. I did not see anywhere in the menu specifying that the cold foam would be made from oat milk..“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“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 !!“

“I started going here in 2020 and slowly became obsessed. Best bakery and cafe in Somerville. The vibes of the staff are phenomenal but additionally the food and tea are to die for. I always get the London fog with vanilla and the vegan egg cheddar sandwich. Don’t forget to try to banana tajin muffin!!“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I love Tilde - the coffee, wine and food is consistently great!
I've also come to participate in knit club and everyone is always a sweetie pie.

The wine selection has a great variety and the coffees are never too sweet even with a little added rose or vanilla.

Today I committed a faux pas because I became that dog owner who brings their pup into the shop. The person behind the counter was so gracious about letting me know that they can't allow dogs due to that food is prepared there and then another person helped by bringing my drink outside to me.

So all in all, this is a place to come to feel nice and tasty!“

“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.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“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!“

“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.😋“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“I was in Boston for a business trip and one of my colleagues happened to stumble upon Tatte. He raved about the coffee and the pastries, so I had to try it. I ordered a coffee and the raspberry, pistachio tart.
It was amazing! The coffee was incredible. Rich, smooth, flavorful. Not too hot to drink. It’s everything you imagine a high end coffee should be.
The tart was delicious. Full of flavor, not overly flakey. Just perfect.
This will be my go to spot on my next trip to Boston.“

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

“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“

“Great location. Visited during Boston Pride. Service felt a bit sluggish at the time but I imagine that's mostly due to the crowds. Had always heard so much about the pastries and sweets and Tatte and was not let down. Tried a couple of them with a pistachio latte and now I'm hooked. Wish it was a bit more affordable but it is Boston after all, nothing about this city is cheap.“

“This spot has some solid, delicious, unique, and well-curated sandwiches. The taj mahal sandwich has some of the best egg salad fillings I've ever tasted and the turkey town pressed panini was perfectly toasted —yet soft, and very flavorful.

I'm not much of a coffee person but my partner is a coffee snob and thought that their brown sugar latte was delicious, which is not to be taken lightly from her. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area to try more slapping sandwiches (and coffee for her).“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

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

“Awesome food and the staff is friendly. Also the hometown Cafe atmosphere is great.“

“Corner Cafe & Bakery is an Asian bakery located in the heart of Chinatown.

The staff are friendly, though there is little interaction with them as it is a pick your own, as most Asian bakeries are. there is a $10 minimum to use a credit card, but getting a decent amount of pastries will hit this easily.

The pastries are pretty average to other Asian bakeries in the area. The Pineapple bun is good, and they offer multiple options like roll cakes, hot dog bao, and more.“

“It was amazing! So many games to choose from and the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is wonderful as well😊“

“This was so good!
I had a great experience at this place! I enjoyed the lamb breakfast and a cappuccino. The variety of choices is impressive, and the breakfast was simply delicious. The cappuccino came with adorable cat latte art, reflecting the staff's extra care and attention to detail. The place is well-designed and well-organized. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Boston.“

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

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

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

“The cappuccino and croissants are amazing. Very friendly staff who seem to always aim to please. Very quick and efficient service with a smile. Nice local cafe with a few bar stools to relax with your morning cuppa.“

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

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

“Ola Cafe has been a favorite stop since moving into the neighborhood a few years ago- it is the perfect place for a quick coffee and snack. The staff are next to none- are always warm, welcoming and ready to give my dog lots of love and attention. My all time favorite thing there is their orange juice- it is truly the best OJ I have had- they squeeze it by hand in front of you and despite the effort it takes to prepare- they always do it with a smile.“

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

“Coffee, Baklava, and most importantly the unique experience of being able to peer into arguably Boston’s coolest full-service motorcycle shop. If you’re there you might even get a sneak peek at some of the Madhouse teams latest projects!!!“

“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.“

“My Happy Place! A 5-Star Coffee Dream! ☕🥐✨
Seriously, y'all, Tatte Bakery at Harvard Square is my absolute favorite! Every single time I step through those doors, it's like a little slice of heaven. 😍 From the moment you walk in, you're hit with that amazing smell of fresh-baked goodies and perfectly brewed coffee – it's pure magic! ✨
This last visit was extra special because I treated myself to two of my absolute faves: a smooth Cortado and, get this, a Pistachio Coffee! 🤤 Both were ridiculously delicious and hit just the right spot. The Cortado was perfectly balanced, and that Pistachio Coffee? Mind. Blown. 🤯 It's the kind of drink that makes you want to do a happy dance.
And it's not just the drinks! I also snagged one of their famous Almond Croissants – flaky, buttery, and packed with almond goodness. Seriously, it's a masterpiece. 🎨
Beyond the incredible food and drinks, the vibe here is just chef's kiss. 🤌 It’s always buzzing but still feels cozy, with gorgeous decor that makes you want to hang out all day. And the staff? Super friendly and on top of things, even when it's packed! They handle the rush like pros, always with a smile. 😄
If you're ever in Harvard Square, you have to stop by Tatte. It's more than just a bakery; it's an experience! Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. 🙏 Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“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“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“Nice place best staff. Great place to handle your banking biz and sit and have a good cup of joe !!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Beautiful place with a cozy atmosphere! Their pour-over coffee is excellent and really stands out. The sandwiches are fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for both coffee lovers and anyone looking for a nice spot to relax“

“My favorite store, drink delicious 😋“
