50 Best Cafes near Westwood

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

“We used Tasetfully Done to cater our daughter's bridal shower. We were thrilled with the quality of the food and the service! Everything was delicious, and beautifully presented. As we had guests with gluten and dairy allergies, we needed to modify the menu and Jimmy was very accomodating, ensuring that those guests would be able to have choices on the menu.
Jimmy is great to work with, very helpful, lots of good suggestions when deciding the menu, and delivered the food to our home. We will use Tastefully Done again, and highly recommend it to all!“

“s'm hijacking this review which is actually about my coworker. She placed and order and an item was missing. She called to make them aware....a store manager not only delivered the missing items (3 bagels) but gave her a complimentary Danish ring along with a free lunch coupon. Now THATS customer service. Nicely done!“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

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

“great food, great service, and very friendly. worked with my nut allergy, which can be hard to find sometimes. Definitely worth check out if your in the area!“

“It was amazing! So many games to choose from and the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is wonderful as well😊“

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

“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 .“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

“I only ate here in person many years ago. It was always empty then. From reading recent reviews it sounds as if it is s very popular spot for weekend brunch.
This was my go to place five years ago during lockdown as the prices were great with tasty donuts and sandwiches.
Skip ahead to 2023 to the present and it got more expensive and quality uneven. This morning my grilled hot dog was very tasty but my spaghetti with garlic and oil had neither garlic nor oil. It was just cold, slightly mushy pasta with a little stale grated cheese on it. Nothing else.
Even though I have gotten lousy food from them sometimes in the last two years, I see they have a loyal following and do want to hurt their ratings too much. They do need quality control so as to make the quality of their lunch items more consistent.“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“Stella’s is absolutely incredible- even the arancini held up during a short drive home! It was incredibly easy to place my order online and loved the happy hour appetizers so I could try two. I was able to try the arancini which were so creamy and crisp and the meatballs which were so flavorful. The chicken parm was served with a garlic sauce for the pasta which I never would have chosen, but absolutely loved!“

“Four Piece Suit is what makes it worth visiting! We have been following them since the 90s, when they were playing music in Tam O’Shanter pub in Brookline, MA. They gathered a huge crowd the day we saw them for the first time. We were fortunate to get in the pub because they were so famous.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“great food, friendly service, dog friendly patio.“

“Coleen will immediately make you feel part of her community. We popped in for brunch on a recommendation and we're so happy we did. Small town community feel in the heart of Brookline. Excellent food, fair pricing, owner operated; and you can see she's well loved in the community. I will always come back here if I'm in the area looking for a bite to eat and a break.“

“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.“

“This place is adorable and so cozy! I managed to snag a seat indoors after a bit of waiting and would love to spend a good rainy WFH day here. There are very limited seats so plan accordingly if you’re hoping to stay. I was a bit disappointed by my drink - their specialty lemonade ran around $7 and was not memorable. But, I was able to get work done and enjoyed the playlist and company.“

“Nice place to use free internet with yummy sweets and drinks.
Free cold water was available.

But Fresh juice was in bottle. Not freshly squeezed daily I think.

It was difficult to find tables.
Table was dirty with bread crumbs and I ask them to clean. No one cleaned. So I had to clean myself. Coffee was good cinnamon bread was yummy.“

“Organic Buzz is a hidden gem in our hometown! I often stop by with my kids and girlfriend, and it always feels like a cozy second home. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and welcoming for both adults and children—with fun games to keep everyone entertained.

Their smoothies are the best—delicious, healthy, and made with high-quality ingredients you can really taste. They also sell a great selection of wholesome, thoughtfully chosen products.

It’s our go-to spot for a healthy treat and some quality family time. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Cafe fixe not only serves some of the best coffee (I’ve lived in London, Paris, California, Berlin and this rates amongst the best coffee I’ve had) but they have also put their money where their mouth is and only do take out coffee in reusable cups on Tuesdays in a box to the damage our society is doing to the earth.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“Dinner party for 8, we were a little late but they were very accommodating. We started with Samosas which came with two sauces a chutney and sweet. For entrees, I had the Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Cochin Curry, Palak Paneer, and the Rogan Josh Goat Curry with Garlic Naan. The curries came with a small bowl of white rice. My favorite curry was the Rogan Josh Goat Curry. The meat was tender with spices nicely infused to create a wonderful and smooth taste. I also ordered a Masala Chai which was the perfect temperature to sip! Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend. I will be coming back again!“

“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.“

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

“I have been to Caffe Nero multiple times and am never disappointed! My favorite is the vegetarian ciabatta! ☕️“

“I only used the small booth on the first floor next to Cohan Hall. I did not visit the dining room. I purchased a roast beef 🍖 sandwich 🥪 and it came with Cape Cod potatoe chips and a slice of pickle 🥒 on the side. I ordered a drink from the bar. Seating was available near the bar.
Though overpriced, it tasted okay 👌. I was surprisingly hungry later. You can bring your purchase to your seat 🪑 but I figured people would be annoyed with the sound of crunching chips.
The food areas on the first 🥇 and second 🥈 floors were busy during intermission. You can order food if you are at the table on the ground floor of Symphony Hall.
If you are really hungry, as I was, I would say give it a try.“

“Intimate room. Great production and staff. They let me play there“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Hello, dear reader, I am Kel Alexander-Swift. I am the Master General of the United States of America's military, all five branches. I am also the legally married husband of the American pop superstar indie folk punk Goddess, Taylor Alison Swift.“

“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.“

“5 stars without question. I don’t come often because you can definitely lose yourself and over indulge but highly recommend. Line can tend to get long at this location and finding a seat can be near impossible but if you’re on the go then not an issue. Staff is really nice, attentive, professional and reminds me of why I like Boston. All Tatte’s are good but this location is top tier (not trying to start a inner Tatte war or anything)“

“I have been ordering from Checkmate for 20 years. I love this place! Their pizza is the best!!..I also love their fried shrimp di ner best I've ever had..The man who takes the telephone orders is very efficient and pleasant..The driver who delivers my food is very friendly...I love this place and highly recommend!!“
