Cafes near Wellesley

“This place is so good, I had the best coffee ever here. There’s something about the chocolate they add for the mocha too, very high end. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Being new there I’d have to say it’s confusing where to order and pay. People were jumbled near the front seeming confused too. Maybe a little sign directing people would be helpful. I enjoyed all of the little options to purchase things too. I bought a bag of coffee, and can’t wait to try it. Thank you 😊“

“I'm a repeat customer, so obviously like the place. Nice atmosphere with a central fireplace, which I love. Good to very good espresso (barista dependant), tasty sandwiches, soups. I wish they would offer fresh salads and gluten free options.“

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

“Best bakery and cafe around!“

“Extremely friendly service/ Grabbed a coffee and a cranberry-orange muffin today- the muffin reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe- so moist!!! 👍“

“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!!“

“The food was delicious, a great variety, and though we were limited to just certain items by the venue, Jason worked with us and came up with something terrific. The food came very early, which was my only disappointment. I thought it would arrive at 4 PM but they were already there at 2 PM, however that was likely the venue that made that decision. I would work Ovenbird again in a heartbeat, and I’m very pleased with what they did for our memorial service.“

“One of our absolute favorite spots in town, we’re so lucky to have this in our community!“

“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.!“

“Amazing coffee. I got the Creamy hazelnut dark chocolate latte and a bagel with cream cheese. Fantastic coffee highly recommend trying looks exactlylike the pic. The cream cheese was sweet that made the begal even better. Definitely going back next time im in Waltham.“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“Every once and awhile you come across a business that has it all - an outstanding product, genuinely wonderful people and an approach to customer service that restores your faith in humanity. Cafe Fresh Bagel delivers on all of those fronts. The bagels are superb and the variety, freshness and flavor of the wares on display is unsurpassed. The people who run the establishment are the kind of individuals that serve as the epitome of what entrepreneurs should be - hardworking, dedicated and thoughtful. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else for my bagels…!“

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

“Great chicken salad. I am also happy that pet dogs are no longer permitted inside. As a dog lover, I understand wanting to bring your family with you everywhere. As a human with dog allergies, I appreciate being able to limit my exposure to animals in indoor spaces. Tough call to make.“

“Just finished eating a plain bagel with jalapeño cream cheese here I almost didn't go because I know their bagels are best when they're fresh and it's getting close to two in the afternoon, but there's a spot out front so I figured I'd try anyway, and just my luck they had a fresh batch of plain bagels that just finished cooking. They were just as good as I remember them being in high school and honestly, the shop looks almost exactly; the same staff are friendly as always and I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Needham. Dunkin' Donuts eat your heart out“

“Love this local spot. I’ve had the pancakes and their açaí bowl, both delicious. Friendly service, food comes out fast. My friend had one of their omelettes which she loved. Their Brazilian baked goods are also fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this spot for brunch/takeout!“

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

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

“Food isn’t bad or good, nor original, very middle of the road, but is very decently priced and is in a great location, extremely convenient and quick. Local, and the people dining here are local, good place to meet people or if you’re from here, a good place to see a friend.“

“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.“

“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 just started working in the area back in June and had Debby’s before my interview and I was instantly hooked! The flavors are always fun and delicious and Debby is always friendly and engaging. Debby’s is a part of my weekly routine and I’d go every day if I my schedule allowed. As a coffee lover I highly recommend and can’t think of a better way to start the day! Thanks Debby!“

“regarding a recent review from Katyko, I visited caffe ollo this morning and this is how this lovely place looks like. It has such an amazing atmosphere, their drinks are amazing, a very cozy and warm place to hang out & staff is so kind and welcoming. no shade but if you check closely that same review was also posted a year ago trying to make this place look bad when in reality it’s completely the opposite. love you ollo, will be back soon!“

“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 .“

“Glazed Bytes Coffee is selling itself short by being tucked inside a tiny, painfully forgettable mall in Brookline. The coffee itself? Not forgettable at all.

We ordered two Cloud Foam Lattes (I think that was the name), and that foam was ridiculous in the best way possible. It sits somewhere between an absurdly fluffy marshmallow and canned whipped cream, except smoother, creamier, and somehow lighter at the same time. I genuinely have no idea how they made foam feel “luxurious”, but there we are.

The coffee underneath actually held its own too. Strong flavour, unique profile, not just another Instagram café trying to survive off aesthetics and oat milk. Properly good coffee.

Honestly, the mall needs them more than they need the mall. Places like this drive foot traffic way harder than another random clothing shop nobody remembers walking into. More food spots. More cafés. More reasons for people to actually stay there.

Really good spot. Hidden gem energy.“

“the best matcha i have ever tried !!!! they also offer hojicha and vietnamese coffee. rotating menu with different flavors.

it took me an hr to go there but it’s definitely the thing im looking forward to every Sunday. hope they will open again soon 😭🥹“

“Best breakfast place in town! Can’t wait for the reopening!!!“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“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. 🍋🥥“

“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.“

“I have been a customer of Red Barn for over 25 years it is not only close to my home it is my "go to" spot for my morning Latte or my afternoon Ice Coffee. The Pastry case is always filled with yummy fresh goodies and i am always greeted with a smile...4 Stars\n“

“Molto bene! The decor was bright & cheerful, with yellows and whites. The owner’s daughter was friendly, fun, upbeat and managed a very busy & very loud restaurant with grace and patience. She was our server. The food was exceptional. I got meatballs (homemade) and spaghetti. I’m a homemade meatball chef at home and these were delicious! My husband’s braised beef and mashed was delicious, too. Looking forward to coming again!“

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this coffee shop and bakery! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods filled the air, making it impossible not to feel at home.

The coffee was exceptional—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.

What truly stood out was the friendly and attentive staff. They were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about providing excellent service.

Whether you're looking for a cozy place to relax, meet friends, or enjoy a sweet treat with your morning coffee, this bakery and coffee shop is a gem. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back again and again!

Thank you very much Mr. Spencer.“

“Everyone here is so friendly, they are like family. The food is delicious and not processed nonsense stuff like some places have..and the coffee is good too, if your a chocolate person like me, I recommend the Iced Mocha Cappuccino I get it every time, I could never get sick of it.“

“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.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!“

“The specialty drinks - coffees and juices are delicious! Love the egg plate with goat cheese and thick toast . My friends liked their food too. Friendly staff. Sometimes a little bit of a wait for food and cleaning of tables. Bathrooms are clean.“

“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.“

“Heart City Health Cafe deserves five stars for its exceptional combination of quality, atmosphere, and service. The menu demonstrates thoughtful attention to both nutrition and flavor, offering meals that are wholesome without sacrificing taste. The café itself is clean, inviting, and well-organized, creating a space where patrons feel comfortable and cared for. Staff interactions reinforce this positive environment, consistently professional, approachable, and knowledgeable about the offerings. Overall, Heart City Health Cafe exemplifies how a health-focused establishment can successfully balance well-being, enjoyment, and customer experience, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking nutritious and satisfying meals.“

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

“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.“

“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 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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I was looking for a local breakfast place close to work. The name pulled me in, the reviews hyped it up, the food and Ed's service sealed the deal. Food was delish, and OMG the fresh squeezed OJ.. When the food came out, presentation was awesome. You can feel the food was cooked with love. I'll be back now and again. This place is Tip Top“

“I’ve been going to this restaurant for many years now and you always get top quality food for breakfast and lunch. If you wanna order an omelette, you will get the most amazing omelette and not spending an enormous amount of money like you would Friendly Toast. Nowhere in the Newton area or Needham area will you find a friendly or owner? Who will know you in two days and call you a regular and know what your order is After just a few times of your visiting the restaurant. The food is fresh and always delicious You can’t go wrong for breakfast or for lunch If you want to have a great meal with friendly people all around you, you need to go to Fresco!!“

“perfect, open all the time that I need it, everything works wonders!“
