50 Best Cafes near Shrewsbury

“Excellent Cakes and desserts!!!“

“I stopped in for a warm place to wait for my son’s appointment, and what a treat! It’s 715am and snowy, but Panera is open, warm and friendly. I got a small coffee and cherry pastry and a toasty seat by the fire. The whole place was clean and bright, the staff friendly and ready, despite the early hour and the storm. This was so unexpected and so appreciated. Thank you!“

“The panini here are SO good! It is clear that the on-site owners really care about quality ingredients and their customers. There are various levels of Parma ham depending on your palate and budget. The sandwiches are generous and can be shared. It is a tiny shop with several standing tables, so this is not a place to relax while dining. The brownies are to die for and often sell out, so get there early & make sure to get a latte. There is a nice selection of Italian products for purchase.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and delicious coffees. From great service to a cozy atmosphere. This is my new favorite spot. 10/10 will be stopping by again soon!“

“Stopped in today. Very friendly owners and fantastic food. So glad to have this place 40 minutes from home. Well worth the drive.“

“Fresh, delicious food catered for our family get together. Erin & team were so helpful & made our day special.“

“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.“

“Went for lunch on one day and it was insanely fabulous went for breakfast another day and it was also great! Portions are HUGE definitely can split with someone or for another meal. Prices very reasonable. The only meh thing was that there was a musician at breakfast making it a bit difficult to hear. Music was great just a bit loud for breakfast. Highly recommend going. We'll have to go back sometime to try dinner.“

“Our favorite breakfast place.We’ve been going there for years..Great food and more than enough in their servings!!!Great homemade muffins….Even when we think of going elsewhere as a change,we end up there…..Very friendly staff,very attentive.Love the place!!!!“

“The best place I love it and the people that work there to very professional tooo 🙏🙏❤️❤️“

“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 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.“

“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 🍻🍷“

“Nice little coffee place. The coffee it self is kinda w.e and just pretty sure its pot coffee. The baked goods and sandwich are where its at and better quality then I expected.

They dont have espresso, which I thought was odd but its only a small gripe.

Plenty of parking and enough seating for about 20 people.“

“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.“

“We stopped here for breakfast while passing though the state. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our large group. The food was delicious and portions were large. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and would love to come back again. ❤️“

“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!“

“Gps may seem iffy but it's located in an old industrial building. You have to self order at a computer which is a little annoying but otherwise fine. Dark coffee is a solid 4/5 starts a little dull but cools off perfectly. Loads of seating space, which is great and lots of coffee bean varieties for purchase“

“My new favorite in Northampton“

“I went in for lunch and had the BLT. Extremely tasty! Also paired it with a London Fog tea (don’t judge me) which was also great. I’ve been here a few times even though this is my first review but how can you not like this place?! Very chill friendly vibe with a little for everyone in here. Musical, literature, vinyl, and of course a plethora of business cards from various local talents. The workers and even the customers all make you feel wanted in here. If you get a chance definitely check this place out!!! 😎🤘“

“The personal service is as amazing as the food!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“delicious breakfast portions, wonderful prices“

“Had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on wheat bread, and OMG it was soooo good. The eggs and bacon were super fresh. There is lots of tables to sit to eat, although I work in the building so I didn't eat there. This is a place that is definitely worth going to.“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“We were in the area and decided to stop by for “brunch”. Portions were large, food was fresh and delicious.“

“My family and I had the greatest experience there today such delicious food and friendly staff.“

“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!“

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

“great coffee great service“

“I always get food from here and coffees. From my favorites; souffles, chicken Frontega, salads, caramelized latte and my new FAVORITE - Their Hot Chai latte!!!! So goooddd! Can't beat their Chai latte (or lattes in general).

The staff are also nice, I don't know the gentleman's name but he's always at the front (taking orders and checking out). He's patient and very nice.“

“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.“

“I loved Red Barn! Their coffee is great and there is outdoor seating.“

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

“I love the food here. The iced coffee and teas are great too. 😋🍕☕🍵🥤“

“Great coffee and yummy pastries!“

“We love Sweet Java! Everything is absolutely delicious and made with love! It has a wonderful atmosphere. The Grecian Acai bowls are to die for!!! Yum! ❤️“

“What a fantastic gem of a restaurant.
The cute decor and homey feel was perfect. We arrived on a Saturday at 10:30am and it was packed, yet we only waited 7 min.
The waiter was very personable.
The Chocolate Chaud tastes like a melted fudge bar.
We had the potato leek soup, le burger with pork belly, crepes(arrived cold) and berries and duck potatoes(omg melt in your mouth).
I LOVE duck and it is very hard to find. Everything was phenomenal.
So why only 4 stars?
My one complaint. I got crepes and added strawberries. I expected to pay the $2. for berries. But they charged me an extra $1.85 for syrup! Not real Vermont syrup, but bottled syrup. There was maybe 2 tablespoons of syrup in the small metal container I was given.
I'm a chef at a breakfast restaurant. Syrup is a condiment. They don't charge for ketchup, so why syrup? And almost $2?! I could see if it was real syrup as an upgrade or something. I don't mind paying the high prices for the food as the quality was amazing. Worth it for the $27 burger! The soup? Some of the best potato leek we've ever had. But the nickel and diming just left us a bit disappointed after paying $6 for 6oz of OJ.“

“We ordered one of each of their special dogs to share and they were all amazing! My fave was the homewrecker and husband loved the Reuben. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!“

“Just had breakfast there this morning and the food was good and a good amount.. the atmosphere was nice and relaxing..“

“Coffee is good, frappes and smoothies are the best. Soft bagels and yummy brownies. They have a really good menu and great customer service“

“I finally had the Smash Burger and it was off the chart!! Sooooo Good👍“

“Tiny, comfortable dining area. Friendly & helpful staff. The soups, sandwiches, paninis, salads & wraps are all delicious. Theweekly specials offer additional variety. The breads and baked goods are yummy. They offer coffee, tea, and espresso drinks. A lovely place to have lunch when in the Northborough area.“

“The place to be for bikers and friends.“

“Culpeppers has a great selection of food and pastries. Very friendly staff. Open 6 till 2“

“I would recommend the food is wonderful, usually the service is good! Almost always! Two weeks ago I was here and the girl that was at the register left the register because she was under pressure because supposedly I ordered too many things! She walked away crying if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work somewhere! I asked if you was upset with me I ordered you pick 2 cream of broccoli soup one turkey bravo half of sandwich a cup of iced coffee and some chicken for my dog one orange scone! So what’s the problem! I don’t know today when I went back to Panera bread the girl with the yellow nails was so nice to me, she is a great worker, but come to find out, the nice Brazilian girl in the kitchen said you complains last time and you made the girl cry I said how did I complain I never complained! Maybe she was just having a bad day but not because of me! I felt kind of off guard when I went to pick up my food, So again if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work at Panera bread! It’s my money and I spend it where I want to spend it I work hard for it so Customer is always right I wasn’t rude I was always pleasant every time I come here or anywhere I go me and my service dog! I like an apology from Panera bread this is a palling very disturbing! If I ask for something extra I pay extra for it bottom line the customers always right, if you want them to return! Treat them well, & leave your problems at home don’t bring them to work with you blaming others that your upset with them when in fact it’s something else that’s going on in your life! I did not treat her badly at all! For the record the rest of the staff is very nice, but when the girl started crying of course I felt very bad for her I thought someone died in her family or something no one told me that she was upset with me! Course I feel still feel bad for the poor girl maybe somethings happening in her life that she took it out on me on the customer don’t bring your problems to work! I hope that the manager talks to the girl to comfort her what ever she is upset with! But I know it was not me!“
