50 Best Cafes near Westwood

“Stopped in today- super cute bakery, amazing chicken salad sandwich and a nice little place to get some work done while having lunch- will definitely be coming by again to try the soup when I'm in the area!“

“I hired Tastefully Done for an employee event and everything was wonderful from start to finish. They offered a great selection of menu items and were able to accommodate all of my requests. The food arrived right on time, and everyone raved about how delicious it was!

We ordered the Italian Feast — the chicken parm was the clear favorite, with the meatballs a close second and the lasagna not far behind. Even with plenty of cookies and brownies for dessert, people were still fighting over the leftovers to take home.

The next day, they came back to pick up all the warming setups, making the whole process seamless. Tastefully Done was truly a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend them for any event — or even just for lunch if you want a great meal!“

“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.“

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

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

“Cute place and yummy baked goods as well as sandwiches and salads for lunch!“

“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!“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“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.!“

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

“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.“

“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…!“

“This was my first time and I had a very good experience. From the minute I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile. This is very important to set the tone for any business.

I ordered a toasted everything bagel with lox spread and veggies. The bagel was fresh and tasty. The tomatoes actually tasted like fresh tomatoes! The fact that this stands out speaks to other businesses that may not use as fresh ingredients.

The lox spread has a nice texture and is subtly flavored. I would recommend that if you want a strong lox taste to also order their smoked salmon.

I also ordered a large iced coffee. The coffee was delicious and the large was gigantic, which made me very happy.

Accessibility: the staff is very attentive and quickly activated their ramp for customers needing special assistance.

The prices are also very good. I will definitely come back.“

“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 .“

“I used to come here a lot when I lived in the area. Good, cheap doughnuts and it will now be the successor to their recently closed parent shop Twin Donuts in Allston. Breakfast itself is okay just good value. Only annoying thing is they still use the old school system (signing receipts) so not that good to buy 1 donut with a credit card.“

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

“The coffee ☕ is amazing. I had the Pumpkin Cloud Latte w/ almond milk and it was well worth it. I accompanied the latte with the Croffles + Ice cream and it was sinfully good. It was the perfect portion size and the texture of the croissant waffle was unlike any dessert I've ever had. 100% worth it! Not to mention that the great tasting food was accompanied by excellent service.“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“I stayed in Brighton for two weeks, and when I discovered this place, it was my safe place to go and eat. I recommended a lot their pancakes. I've never eaten something like this before. The pancakes with blueberry and strawberry jam was the my perfect breakfast these last days. This is my favorite place to back when I return to Boston.“

“The Tatte in Fenway has a cute, warm interior and a convenient location. It gets very busy, so be prepared to wait for a table, but it's worth it. I loved the lentil soup and the apple crumble cake. It's a great spot for a quick bite or for getting some work or studying done.“

“Popular cafe, we sat outside by the road which was fine as the traffic is quite. Lots of food/snack/drink options, clean toilets.
I note their sign about not supporting the proposed 2 lane road and removing the on street parking - I couldn’t agree more, the (very nice) atmosphere driving through Needham would be ruined by this proposal and I hope it fails.“

“I was back in Adams Village today (my old neighborhood) and as I crossed Gallivan Blvd, my 4 year old said “mummy!!!!!!! look at the smiley faced balloons!!!” I pulled over and asked the woman at the register if she would be willing to sell me one of the balloons with my coffee order. She immediately cut one off and gave it to my little boy. It made his day, and the wonderful banana hazelnut coffee made mine. ❤️“

“A couple of Fridays ago, on the morning of the Friends of Saint Patrick’s event, I had breakfast with a couple of friends in Walpole. The breakfast skillet I ordered was amazing—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. I can't wait to go back. The service was fantastic, making the whole experience even better.“

“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!!!!“

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

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

“Coffee Turco has great coffee with rich, authentic flavor and a cozy atmosphere. The pastries and snacks are a nice bonus, and the service is warm and welcoming. A wonderful place to relax or catch up with friends. Just a little room for improvement, but overall a very enjoyable spot!“

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

“Great bakery and coffee shop to visit on a morning alone or with friends. Both the line and seating is deceiving because it looks quite busy and like seating or ordering me take a while but both move very quickly! The pistachio lattes to die for!“

“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.“

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

“Best coffee ☕️ much better than Nespresso in flavor-and don’t come-in aluminio that is dangerous for your health“

“I had dunkin donut coffee and donuts. It was ok, and the staff was kind making sure your order is made well. One source of confusion was the operation time. Google map was showing this place is open until 12am, but actually they closed by about 8pm or so. It might due to summer and maybe they will have a longer period during regular days.“

“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.“

“I was visiting frequently before my dad was transferred to a hospice center. I wish I could remember the cashier’s name who helped me. She was always SO KIND and put a huge smile on my face, having no idea what I was going through. The rest of the staff is great too. The food always came out quickly and it was delicious.“

“This is still a fairly new location, it's very nice, clean & attractive, large & spacious with wifi and outlets for phone charging. The squash soup with toasted pumpkins was the BEST!!! And the the cafe latte and bacon BLT on tomato bread was perfect, plenty of bacon. Service was fast. It wasn't very crowded until around 12:30 pm when I left. My only issue is the prices are too high for what you get in size and quantity of food, otherwise a great place for a meal or fancy coffee & a relatively quiet place to sit and relax, highly recommended!“

“Southwest chicken panini“

“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.“

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

“We got lamb meatball shakshuka and greek pancakes. The shakshuka was amazing — 2 perfectly poached eggs, sweet red pepper, freshly baked challah, and lots and lots of tomatoes. The lamb meatballs were just ok and I think the other two vegetarian shakshukas may be even better tasting. My friend enjoyed the greek pancakes but I thought they tasted a little bit starchy.

For drinks I had the ginger oat milk latte, which was intense on the ginger flavor (amazing!!!) but weirdly has ginger fibers in it (good to know it was made with real ginger but am I the only one who thinks filtering those out would create a much better smooth texture?)…

Overall, huge portions, creative flavors, fresh ingredients, great price, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“
