Wish we could take this little cafe back home with us. Thank you Aldo and family for a memorable experience. Wish you and yours all the best! ❤️“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

“It’s hard to find a good cup of coffee sometimes, just tried Lulu’s and was very pleased, it was bold flavored, but not too strong. Breakfast croissant was delicious, with plenty of scrambled eggs and cheese.“

“A fantastic gem with excellent customer service! Get The Hero coffee, it was delicious. Everything was so good and fresh!“

“Union Cafe has become one of my favorite go-to places in Lynn, MA. My wife and I recently moved to the area and upon visiting Union Cafe, we found the options limited for us due to the fact my wife and I are both vegan. After speaking with the very friendly owner, Charbell, and telling him, though we loved the place, thaat except for muffins, and beverages, there wasn't much for us to eat. He asked us what he could do to facilite us and after brought in Impossible burgers and Felafel wraps, both vegan. It has now become our regualar haunt. The entire staff is very friendly and provides exceptional service. I love when a business owner listens to his customers and responds so well. BTW, my wife loves the felafel and they cook the Impossible burger to order which is fantastic!“

“The staff was very pleasant and assertive..the food was great and worth every penny...i would definately come back..i already shared a post on my fb page too!“

“Lu’s cafe is second to none when it comes to coffee! Authentic and tasty! Friendly staff and a beautiful atmosphere. They deserve all the hype for all their hard work and great food. 100% recommend you try their Viet Mocha Special. Perfect amount of sweetness and the coffee flavor still strong.“

“Absolutely the BEST place to get boba tea! Of all the places I've gotten boba Teamoji is the BEST! They have a great menu that you can customize your orders. Their boba pearls have the best flavor of an I've tasted. I usually get mine to go but this Cafe is very cute and cozy with lots of beautiful plants. You can order ahead online.“

“One of the best spots in Lawrence. Folks there are friendly, the place has very warm vibes, and the food is incredible. 10/10
If I had any 'complaints', coffee machine was down for awhile, it's called 'cafe' and that implies a few things, have only been back for dinners, not sure if that's been fixed yet! but otherwise seriously it's essential Lawrence dining you gotta check it out.“

“Excellent service, good environment, friendly and respectful customer service. Plates are very well portioned and decent prices and food is prepare carefully and with love to the gastronomical industry. SUPER TASTEFULLY SEASONED!!! I definitely will return and recommend it to anyone with a desire of a traditional DOMIRICAN CULTURE.. 🇩🇴♥️🇵🇷“

“I tried the cinnamon coffee muffin this morning...fabulous! It was moist & flavorful & paired well with my hot & delicious java. I'll definitely be back soon.“

“I'm a road cyclist, and at times my rides take me by this terrific store. I'm always greeted warmly. So many tasty options food-wise. Yesterday's iced coffee had icecubes made with iced coffee. Wow! A+! Many nice gift items, too. Pleasant indoor and outdoor seating, too.“

“Cute place. We arrived on the later side which annoyed the waitstaff.... I promised we'd leave by closing time which was 2:00. We arrived around 1:30. Overall the food was good. A little annoying because we had to ask for more than 2 items, but not a bad place. We ll try again .“

“Bagel sandwich with egg baco and cheese is my go to sandwich at Bagels and Brew and the coffees are delicious too . Highly recommended.“

“We had the best lunch catered by La Qchara last Saturday for a group of friends from 4 countries (including Colombia and Venezuela). Everyone loved the food, particularly our friends from Colombia and Venezuela. They said the food was fantastic! Emily was so nice when she delivered the food, and it was right on time. We would definitely order from La Qchara again for such authentic food.“

“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.“

“today was the first time eating there, excellent service, the best home fries I have had so far.“

“the atmosphere is cozy and warm. Delicious martini choices. Huge portions for a reasonable price. Would recommend this place to everyone.“

“Both my sons are at the tech, one is in HVAC and the other electrical. The teachers in both, shop and academics do an outstanding job taking the time to helping the students to learn. My sons have learned so much in different shops as well. I am looking forward for my daughter attending this school in 9th grade! I am all for the shawsheen tech it’s a great school! Like I tell my kids college isn’t for everyone and there are not a lot of people in the trade. You can make an honest living in a trade!!! And that is where the shawsheen tech comes in!!!“

“Kimball’s lunches and pastries are amazing! We have never eaten breakfast there but I assume that is awesome as well. Best of all, besides serving excellent food at fair prices, the staff are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome.“

“Delicious Stuffed French Toast and very friendly service !“

“Wicked good coffee - Reading and Tewksbury.“

“egg sandwich beats take-out McDonald's, burger King, Wendy's. close to True North. I'm biased as it's walking distance for me. Mike trying“

“I'm not going to fault them for never having an open table... they're busy, it is what it is. However, I don't like how pushy and demanding they are the minute you come in to take your order. Chill a minute, it's a big menu! We need a couple seconds to decide. The food is always tasty but sometimes the execution is wrong, sloppy, or lacking (I've ordered a rueban that had 1 slice of pastrami and nothing but sauerkraut... :( ).“

“I go here every morning and the staff has now felt like family to me. Most kindest people and by far the best coffee and bagels around. This location will forever be my favorite.“

“Come for the coffee, stay for the croissants. If you haven't been here already I humbly recommend you come down and check it out for yourself.“

“Came for the stringy hash and it didn't disappoint! Home fries where we'll seasoned without being over salted. Loved the maple beans and homemade lemonade that wasn't over sugared. Our new favorite place!“

“70 years old. saw the cafe' and stopped for breakfast. Best I ever had. Corned beef hash and hash browns perfect. Eggs benedict great. Waffles perfect. best service,friendly staff. Great atmosphere. probably never be around here again. tooooo bad“

“Love this place. The coffee is delicious and I love the different muffins offered. I just recently tried the western egg sandwiches on an everything bagel. We also came in to try the pizzas. Delicious!! Will be back for more!!“

“Delicious“

“Took my daughter for a ice cream to celebrate her first day of school yesterday...I haven't been 30+ years (😳) Oh the nostalgia!!! What a great space with all the fun candy displays and the ice cream bar was just how I remembered! Can't wait to go back! Thank you!!“

“Annie and Kevin were awesome hosts. we had a huge group and they were kind and patient and welcoming! And on top of the excellent customer service, the coffee and food was amazing!“

“This may be the cutest bagel shop I've ever been to. While visiting from out of town I had the chance to check out this gem and loved everything about it - from the welcoming atmosphere and entertaining pictures, to the most amazing asiago bagel I have tasted, to the incredible service. My family and I wish we had this bagel shop in CO... it's the best!“

“Cafe Nero never disappoints. The food and their cafe stores always deliver amazing coffee, lattes and sandwiches. Love this store location with its huge large viewing windows. Also, it’s so nice to be served by actual baristas that know really how to make a good latte and cappuccino. So much more exquisite than Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts. Just make sure to get in early and find a seat because it does get very busy and popular with the locals.“

“The best bagels around and absolutely amazing cappuccino. The only reason for the 4 stars vs 5 on service is because the young girl I constantly get just doesn't seem to want to be there. Don't get me wrong service is fast, orders come out exactly how you ordered them. However, the counter staff taking your order should, at the very least, be pleasant.“

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“I have been going to Empower for 5 years now, and Nick and the rest of his staff never fail to exceed expectations! This is one of my favorite places to grab my morning caffeine and catch up with the team! The teas offer a feeling of clean energy that I've really grown to love as I've moved away from coffee. Also, I love seeing how involved this store is with the community--They have hosted some amazing events in the Woburn community and I love seeing local businesses, teachers, and police officers at the cafe everyday. Empower is truly doing some amazing community-building work, which I really value...And that's not to say that their teas aren't also ADDICTING. Can't recommend enough“

“Outstanding food and service. Will come back every time we are on Wakefield.“

“Amazing coffee, amazing muffins and amazing customer service! It's so refreshing to see so many latte flavor options- I tried the gingerbread latte, white chocolate cheesecake latte, and Dubai latte, all were amazing. I will definitely be returning.“

“I love it here so much❤️ The place is relaxing and the food taste good.“

“Great food, wonderful service, friendly people. Family owned. We love getting our breakfast from here every morning. Family platter w/yummy, fluffy pancakes, the best scrambled eggs, perfect sausage links and lovely lite white toast. Perfect way to the start of our day. Thank you all so very much.“

“If you want a hometown diner feel, this is the place to go! Went for breakfast here this morning and it was great! The service, food and staff were awesome. I just had surgery on my hand and I mentioned to my cousin how an omelette would be easier to eat then picking up a sandwich. The waitress quickly chimed in and told me the cook will cut it into fours for me! I would recommend this place to anyone! 😊“

“Shhhh...don't tell too many people about this place lol. This is a hidden GEM. I went in today for one of their bowls and it was delicious. Everything I had was well made, really really good, and most importantly hot. Thinking of doing their meal plans at some point, and wish I lived closer. I will be definitely be back here; appreciate your services and making the food nutritionally healthy and yummy. Well done!“

“was visiting family in Massachusetts and stopped in this hidden gem .food was so amazing workers were so great and pleasant nothing but good things to say about this place would recommend to anyone visiting/ living in Massachusetts. WAYYYY better than Starbucks or dunkin“

“Absolutely the best pharmacy and small business ever! They are incredibly knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals and caring about all their customers. There is never much of a wait. Would not consider taking my business anywhere else. LOVE LOVE LOVE Goldenseal!!“

“Caffe Nero makes me say goodbye to Starbucks for good! ? The handcrafted coffee is WAYYY better here with consistent good quality. I love the pastries especially the multigrain croissant. The barista is very efficient and friendly.

One of my pet peeve is I always prefer ACTUAL dishware while dining in and Caffe Nero does that!! It makes the dining experience like 10x better. This cafe has great atmosphere for you to sit back and enjoy your cup of joe. It is a great spot to recharge after all the shopping.

Don’t forget to download their app and start to work towards a free coffee!“
