“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!“

“We love this place , we stop by after our kids gymnastics classes a few doors down just about every Wednesday . I’ve never personally got the drinks or teas but my wife and kids love them. I do however love the Banh Mi’s though!Seems to be a small family run place , the man and women behind the counter are always friendly. Would recommend.“

“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.“

Honestly, I liked everything 🙈 It was a fantastic experience and I will definitely be back🥰“

The Saturday cafe is so good- a welcome neighborhood place to head to on the weekends for delicious treats and inspiring atmosphere. Foodies dream!“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Pressed Café in Burlington was fantastic. The food was excellent — the smash burger salads were seriously amazing, fresh, and packed with flavor. What really stood out though was the service. Clarence, the manager, was awesome and made the whole experience even better. Friendly, welcoming, and clearly cares about customers. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had in the area. Highly recommend!“

“Such a great spot for breakfast! I ordered the desayuno criollo and a breakfast torta, and everything was super tasty and full of flavor. The portions were generous and the food felt fresh and well prepared.

It’s a really nice place to relax and enjoy a Sunday breakfast. The atmosphere was pleasant and the overall experience was great. Definitely a place I would come back to when I’m craving a delicious Latin-style breakfast. 😋🍳“

“My first time in and we will be back! The smells! The food! And of course the best coffee. We loved the vibe and the different seating options. Great way to step away from the chaos and into a different world for a beat.“

“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“

“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“

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went today with a group of friends and had a great experience the food and the portions were amazing. The owner was a sweetheart I would highly recommend!“

“Awesome place to grab a quick bite and service is excellent.“

“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“

“10/10 love Kennedys. They usually have a line and it might take a minute to order but it’s always great! I take all of our out of town guests here to experience their delicious coffees. Uploading a pic of all the flavor options since it’s hard to see until you get to the register 🎉“

“The person serving us on a line was impressively adept and efficient, while being quite friendly to everyone He turned out to be the manager. I was looking for dessert, but on the kiosk, under bakeries Nero wasn’t listed, in fact, hardly a thing was, so I planned to go without until I stumbled upon Nero on my way out. They bake fresh every day. It’s a very comfortable and relaxingenvironment and as noted above excellent service. He was serving an outrageous range of coffee, specialties, and the bakery goods looked carefully crafted. The chocolate cake was quite delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place.“

“I honestly can’t say enough about this place, The smoothies and the prepared meals are awesome but the customer service from the employees to the owner are absolutely amazing. The owner is so personable it makes you feel comfortable being there, she even gave me a free meal to try. I own a business also so I know what goes into great customer service and retention and they have mastered it because they have a customer for life with me. Keep up the amazing work!!!“

“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!!“

“The food and drinks are very good... making you're own breakfast sandwich is a game-changer.. all of the food is great. The only downfall that keeps me from going more frequently is they don't have regular iced coffee. They have regular hot coffee, flavored iced coffee (decaf, hazelnut, french vanilla), and they have cold brew.. no regular iced coffee, which seems like a very simple thing to just not have when you have like 100 types of lattes lol... I get the cold brew when I do go, but its a once in a while thing, can't do cold brew all the time.“

“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! 😊“
