Cafes near Wellesley

“Very good coffee and nice outside seating. Very noisy and crowded inside, unpleasantly so. Baking good, above average. Very pricey. I go for coffee, never for a meal - for the price of a Tatte meal, many restaurants offer a nicer experience for the same price.“

“This is a little gem. The atmosphere was cozy with a fire place on a cold day. They had excellent coffee choices, great customer service, and a gamet for food options for a morning treat. Highly recommend this place. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Our only go to for breakfast! Great food and the best staff!“

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“It’s great having a close by GF bakery !! Love the new decor and options.“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“Truly a hidden gem of Framingham! Very cozy spot, with great coffee and amazing food. I ordered the brazilian “small” plate and was shocked to see how much food was still included, and more importantly, everything was extremely delicious. I’ll be making this a usual spot of mine!“

“I am not sure how this cafe can get anything lower than 5 starts. The food and coffee is OUTSTANDING! Such a unique place with unique taste. The vibe is what you want first thing on a Saturday morning. My favorite is the Tahini square (a sesame based treat). Wish there were more Oven Birds around!“

“Love this cozy spot! The location is ideal either to sit in, outside, or take your goodies for a walk down to the pond. They have a large variety of meals as well as breakfast and bakery items. I love that they sell day old baked goods when they have them as well. They also have a huge variety of milk types to add to your coffee, and hot sauces for food at the 'coffee/creamer station'. They have events here too!“

“Caffé Ollo in Waltham is such a hidden gem! The Italian Caprese Toast Sandwich was fresh and flavorful, while the Chicken Salad Croissant and Classic Ham & Cheese Croissant were buttery, flaky, and absolutely delicious. I also loved their pastries – the Blueberry Cheese Danish and Blueberry Mascarpone Slice were light yet indulgent, and the Strawberry Cake Slice was the perfect sweet treat.

Their smoothies are amazing too – you can really taste the difference with the 100% real fruit. The Berry Berry Smoothie was refreshing, the Mango Smoothie was tropical and smooth, and the Harvest Green Smoothie felt both healthy and tasty.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and high-quality food and drinks make this place a must-visit café in Waltham!“

“I expected more than corned beef out of a can from the description on the menu. The home fries were cold. Good sized portions and the service was adequate. We chose another breakfast place for the next day. Great location, though, in a walkable neighborhood .“

“Stopped in on a whim and had a great meal. I was with my mother and my daughter all of us enjoyed the place. There was a little something for everyone even had a cocktail; we will be back.!“

“I stopped in for an everything bagel to have at home but it was so soft and warm I had to try it when I got to the car. DELICIOUS! It was only $1.75! So good! They sale day old $4 for 1/2 doz.

I would go back anytime! VERY GOOD!“

“A staple in the Brighton community, Cafe Mirror is the best place for reasonably priced and delicious breakfast. My best friend and I love coming here and getting Thai tea, bacon, eggs, and toast! And the staff are some of the best women I've met. I will be a forever fan of Cafe Mirror!“

“This is a hidden gem! We stopped here randomly while traveling home from Boston. We got zucchini pillows and beet salad for appetizers. They were fabulous and flavorful! For dinner we got gnocchi and chicken parm. Probably the best we have ever had! Delicious and good size portions. We had tiramisu for dessert. It was excellent! Great meal start to finish. Our waitress, the owner's daughter was personable , sweet, efficient and great to talk to. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!!“

“Located in an Executive Office complex, Starburst Cafe is a business friendly modern cafe where omelettes and other heated breakfasts are made to order by a chef. After that it's self serve. They DO NOT take cash but they DO take credit cards and mobile payments.“

“Excellent food and service, big portions. Relaxing and friendly“

“We knew we wanted Magic Bites to cater our family event and we were so pleased that we did! Atilla and Elif were helpful and patient planning the menu and everything was top notch delicious. They knew we had some allergies in the family and they made an extra effort to create large labels with all ingredients. I highly recommend them!!“

“Glazed Bite is perfect for a quick and delicious treat. I stopped by for a first time to grab a light bite and was impressed — the waffles with ice cream were absolutely amazing, paired with a refreshing iced coffee. The sandwich I tried wasn’t huge, but it was flavorful and satisfying. Great spot if you want something tasty and fast while shopping at the mall. Definitely worth a stop!“

“Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned cafe-bookstore combo? It’s awesome enough that we’ve got a bookstore back in Belmont Center, and the cafe really sweetens the deal. (Also the bear on the menu is bomb!)“

“I know it wasn’t your normal birthday cake but wanted to let you know we loved it 🥰. From ordering the cake, to pick up, this place is amazing. Thank you for working your magic on my special request of lemon & coconut. 🍋🥥“

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

“Cafe Fresh is a well known Bagel shop serving breakfast goods in the Needham area.

The staff are quite friendly and work really fast, moving the line along quickly and getting orders out within minutes even with how busy they are.

I got an everything bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese. The cream cheese isn't too thick and goes well with the bagel, and the bagel is toasted to perfection. The breakfast sandwiches are also quite good as well, and they pair well with the bagels.“

“Lots of great choices always feel welcome and everyone is attentive!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love Taso’s !!! I love the traditional greek salad and the lemon soup is DELICIOUS!!! The desserts are scrumptious! I just had my mother’s retirement party and I catered it all from Taso’s and everyone could NOT stop raving about the food . The food makes a party and Taso’s made the event perfect!! But if I am being honest, the REAL reason I love Taso’s is because Kristina made my son feel at ease. She took extra time with him, on his first visit there . Daniel gave it a 10/10 rating!!! My son, who has special needs, has a hard time with new places and now he loves it . The waitstaff is amazing ( love you Kim ) and I literally could eat there everyday!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love the shakes, mega teas and my kids are obsessed with the refreshers!“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!“

“The decorative work on these pastries is 5 star. I tried the gluten free hazelnut chocolate cookie and did not like it. It was overwhelmingly cinnamon-y and the texture was like an oatmeal bar rather than a soft cookie. I also didn’t enjoy the vegan oat bar, which tasted overwhelmingly of coconut oil.

I DID enjoy the rooibos tea, which was a French tea brand I had never heard of: mariage freres.

It was a lovely subtle flavor, and the tea bags looked unbleached (though I did not verify that).

I would love to come back and try some of the not vegan or gluten free items, as my bakery impression was that things look amazing but have one controlling taste, but I know there was far more here than I tried.

Wheelchair accessibility: Two doors that do require a bit of force but all flat.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“I love EVERYTHING they make!! Great people!!“

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

“The outdoor seating is a big plus. It has a nice atmosphere. It is easy to miss if you are driving by. There is a very small parking lot in the back which is helpful. The staff was very friendly here, more than at other locations. There are alot of sugary baked goods to choose from plus other food choices. Overall, it is nice, quiet place to talk and enjoy a bite to eat. Enjoy!“

“Greatest breakfast at Waltham“

“I loved every single bite! I used to frequent “Andros” and was so bummed when it closed. I’m so glad “My Other Kitchen” is here—especially with the same salad dressing which is amazing on its own! I plan to eat my way through their menu—everything looks scrumptious! ❤️“

“I can't say enough about the Cricket Crew! Amazing staff and Drew (owner) is always available to make amazing suggestions.. we catered lunch in twice a week and it ranged from sandwiches, salads, build your own burrito/greek bowls, Asian fare, bbq and don't forget Karen's amazing pasta salad.
He caters corporate like no other caterer we have used! You simply can't go wrong.“

“Hands down the best corn ever! And everything else is amazing!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“I find no problems with the staff here. They are always cheery and helpful. I do think there could be some efficiency improvements and the wait times are a little long and a bit pricey for cafeteria food. But otherwise food is generally decent and selection is variably good to very good.“

“This place does not have the best food, what is has is attitude. A great experience. The place is just a simple happy restaurant where you feel at home.

Our waitress and her daughter were just outstanding. The food was served hot and fast.

Just a good time“

“This is a laid back place with a country store feel. Some indoor seating and an outdoor patio. Stopped by today for some muffin tops and pastries to go.. Muffins, morning glory and blueberry were excellent... very fresh & moist. My pecan and raspberry pastry was enjoyable but a bit dry. A good place for lunch... salads, soups, sandwiches. Excellent, friendly service..“

“One of the most flavorful meals I’ve ever indulged in! Love the vibes there, and that everything is healthy and organic. Impressed that the prices weren’t too high either! Was just traveling through Salem on vacation in September & glad I found this place. Highly recommend. (Pictures are of the Rainbow Harvest bowl and Blue Magic Smoothie) - which had a kick to it, but tasted like Christmas.“

“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.“

“I was really impressed with how clean this place is! The worker was also really nice. I had the Green Wave smoothie and a Turmeric juice shot. Both tasted really fresh and refreshing.

Vegetarian options: They have a vegan protein powder option.“

“Fantastic diner with great coffee and even better food! They were very accommodating to our large party of 8 people and the food was delicious and was brought to us very soon after ordering. All in all this is a great diner with fair prices! Can't really go wrong stopping here.“
