50 Best Cafes near Shrewsbury

“Excellent Cakes and desserts!!!“

“I did not, in fact, eat here. I just used the bathroom. I often use the bathrooms at panera because they're clean & typically smell of a delightful fruit or herb. I occasionally buy an asiago bagel or coffee as thanks for having stellar facilities. The asiago bagels are awesome and you should eat some. But they usually sell out early, by lunch, so that's a bummer.“

“Tazza Caffe and Paninoteca sandwiches for lunch! OMG the sandwiches are huge! Authentic Italian Sue had the Tutto with mortadella, suppressants, Capitola, prosciutto stracciatella cheese, tomatoes, onions, pickles, hot cherry peppers and garden greens on delicious seeded bread. I had the LaGemma piadina with roast beef, tomatoes. Charred onions and herbed cheese. Both are excellent, Pictured is about a quarter of the sandwich. The service was great and the food is so fresh.They are reasonably priced, This place is the real deal. located in Northborough! #sandwiches #italian #delish“

“great chai latte amazing food cute place!!“

“My wife and I took our 3 year old daughter to check out this new coffee shop after it came up in a Google search. Let me say I had not met the couple that owns the shop before today, and yet I have never felt so invested in wanting to see a new shop succeed as much as I did this one! The owners are a lovely young couple, extremely friendly, and accommodating. They love what they do and it shows in the quality of the food. I ordered the Pi (egg sandwich) and a cold brew coffee. Both were excellent. They roast their own coffee beans and it had just the right amount of roasted coffee flavor. There were a dozen other things I wanted to try, including the creme brulee cheescake, the baklava cheese cake, and the Greek pies. My wife got a hot coffee with almond milk, mocha and peppermint. I like my coffee creamy, and this was the first coffee with almond milk that tasted good to me. I have found my new favorite coffee shop in the area. Whatever you're doing, drop it and visit Coffee & Pi now!“

“First time at First Bite today for brunch - everything we ordered was excellent. Our new favorite breakfast spot. Flights of waffles, pancakes and french-toast, eggs-benedict (Irish) with corned beef hash and what had to be a homemade english muffin, bagel breakfast egg & cheese sandwich and junior breakfast with CRISPY BACON - they asked how you want it regular or crispy. Love THAT. And the hollandaise sauce spot on! Great coffees too.“

“I highly recommend stopping into Up Hill Nutrition!!! They have the best Waffles on Fridays and the best energy liftoff Teas!! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. The team behind the bar are always happy and take the time to say hello. Great place to hangout with friends and catch up! 😊“

“We went for dinner last night & everything was delicious!!! Bill & Jannette were fantastic! Two of us had the veal, one had the seafood medley & I had the chicken salad wrap. We also got the tuna ahi appetizer & a complimentary amuse-bouche. We can’t wait to go back! If you haven’t been there yet, you’re missing out. Also BYOB which is great 🍻🍷“

“Finally got to the Melody Maker this morning, and I’m so mad that it took me this long! Zach (spelling?) was welcoming and cheerful. I ordered two bagel sandwiches, an iced chai and a black iced coffee. Everything was made fresh and reasonably fast! The vibe is amazing, with lots of local art and crafts for sale. My bagel sandwich (the mozzarella Vespa) was EXCELLENT and my chai was delicious. We will be returning soon!“

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“It’s a roastery so no wonder why the coffee tastes so good here. I had an oat vanilla latte an it made my day. The taste of the coffee is the strongest and then vanilla and oat milk hits later. The only thing I didn’t like it their plastic cups. They should have their brand’s name on the cups and have better straws (maybe paper straws to help the environment). And tables were not clean but there were only two girls working and the line of customers was long so it’s understandable.“

“I went for the first time, even though I didn’t care for what I ordered, I will go back again! ( I tried something new) The two people working were very friendly. They made every effort when I told them I didn’t care for my meal. I ended up with bagel and cream cheese that was really. My friend had a blt, she loved it. It’s comfy and nicely decorated.“

“Amazing people, very professional and a pleasure to see when I get out for coffee which is Amazing. went with my mom last time who ordered an everything bagel and she said it's the best she's had. I highly recommend this place!“

“love their selection of ice creams and toppings and not to forget their coffees are good too!!“

“Not from the area but stopped in this morning after helping a friend. Such a cute place and very welcoming. Loved the decor and relaxed vibe. My iced coffee and bagel were delish! Will 100% come back when in the area again!“

“Love this place! Karen and staff are always so friendly and kind when you walk in. Cute shop, feels like home. Shakes and teas are made with care and if anything need fixing Karen is always on top of it! Great flavors, and a nice stop in Grafton.“

“We ordered the Turkey Avocado bacon Sandwhich with squash soup and the grilled cheese with a chicken noodle soup.The turkey Sandwhich was really good along with the squash soup,the squash soup was very sweet though,it must have sugar in it,when we make homemade squash soup it's not sweet at all,but more natural,still worth ordering though,the grilled cheese looked good as well,defiantly worth checking Panara bread out

Vegetarian options: For dietary ask how much sugar is in the Squash soup“

“Awesome service! Good food and great customer satisfaction! Definitely a place to take my money!“

“I work construction right down the street and around the corner and needed a quick eat to bite. I saw this place on maps and went to check it out. There was no one inside but the two ladies working in the kitchen behind the counter. One of them asked me what can she get for me and made me an egg sandwich right there. Great service, great food, I highly recommend.“

“The best place for breakfast sandwiches!! Freshly made bagels, jalapeño cheddar is my fav with egg & cheese & a cinnamon sticky bun iced coffee, anytime I’m in the area I stop here, the best bfast sandwiches around. The staff are all so friendly & amazing! I’m in n out of there within 8 “

“Friendly folks, delicious goodies, fabulous musical guests!“

“Denise and her team just catered my wedding this past Saturday. We are so beyond pleased with everything. Presentation was splendid. Our guests loved the food (especially the crab cakes!) and there was plenty of food to ensure everyone was full. And then the dessert was utterly over-the-top. My grandmother, who hardly ever indulges in sweets, ate about 10 blueberry tarts. The macarons (my #1 request) were all delicious. Beyond everything, the reason to work with Elm’s Cafe is because of Denise. She was a delight to work with- relaxed, attentive, detail-oriented. She made sure my vision came to life and went out of her way to help us.“

“Went there for late breakfast. Was a little busy but the wait time was not excessive. Friendly staff and the food was great. We were just visiting MA but recommended to my friends already.

Parking: We parked at the nearby lot, probably illegally, at the local library. A short walk.“

“What an oasis. We stopped by today and could not believe what a hidden gem we found. Wonderful selection of coffee, baked goods, grilled sandwiches... everything we had tasted fresh, a tomato soup was absolutely fabulous as well as 2 different types of muffins we had. My favorite is cinnamon. ? They offer coffee, T-shirts, hoodies and mugs too. Music is so calming and lovely that you feel like being somewhere at the beach. And the staff were so good!! Helpful, smily and nice.“

Maria, the manager, is easy to work with, kind and professional! I’ve done extensive research on so many restaurant venues in the Worcester area, and this place I would recommend for its excellent value. Thank you to Maria and the team for all their hard work!“
