50 Best Cafes near Westwood

“Definitely a hidden gem in Westwood.
Went for brunch had the lemon green tea with strawberries boba.
Also had the avocado toast topped with a egg, they give you plenty of fresh avocado.
Egg tarts are delicious but recommend going early. The baked goods are a hit with customers buying up a major of them.“

“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!“

“Absolutely love Juicy Greens in JP! 🥰🥰“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“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.“

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

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“I dont know what kind of dark magic they use, but their dairy and gluten free pumpkin pie is delightful! Even my picky eater kid ate two whole slices. I go at least once a month and stock up on treats which I then freeze to have on hand and its so worth the money and the drive. Thank you, Twist, for having gluten and dairy free treats that are actually good.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

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

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

“The food was delicious 😋 definitely not a walk by and ignore shop!“

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

“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 .“

“Cafe Fresh is such a great spot for a fresh and delicious breakfast! They have a large selection of fresh bagels that you can customize however you like, whether you want a simple spread or a full sandwich. They also have muffins, cookies, chips, bottled drinks, and a great selection of hot or iced coffee with different flavors.

I ordered an onion bagel with lox cream cheese, and it was absolutely delicious and so fresh! The bagel had the perfect crunch on the outside while still being soft and chewy on the inside, and there was just the right amount of cream cheese.

Whether you want to sit down and enjoy your breakfast or grab something quick to take on the go, Cafe Fresh is a great choice. I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

“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.“

“Had a wonderful dinner here with my wife and in-laws! You can immediately tell it’s a family-owned spot—there’s a genuine warmth and pride in everything they do.
Stella, the owner's daughter, took fantastic care of us. She was an absolute delight: engaging, attentive, and made our evening feel truly special. On top of the outstanding hospitality, every dish that hit the table was delicious and beautifully prepared.
A real neighborhood gem. We had a great experience from start to finish and will definitely be back!“

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

“Solid ground cafe has one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. My son has frequent inpatient stays at Childrens. This is the perfect quick walk to get a great breakfast and coffee.“

“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.!“

“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.“

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

“I have been coming here the last few years. Service is incredible and the quality of the meat is so much better then all the other breakfast places.

Owner greats you with a smile every time you come in and makes everyone feel welcome.

Try the irish breakfast! Only place around that has traditional irish meats“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

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

“This was our third time here, and each time is even better than the last. I love pour overs and love that they have so many options and consistently do it well. My favorite coffee shop in MA. I didn’t think to take a photo until the end, but we had two pour overs, two of the milk breads and an iced latte to go. All perfect!“

“Affordably priced food in a charming corner diner. Staff is pleasant and hardworking. I really appreciate that they don’t play music like every other restaurant - it’s creates a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere that invites you to sit for a while.“

“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.“

“Great brunch and coffee spot with lrge open space and great coffee shop vibe. The scrambled eggs and shakshuka were excellent. The prices are not low but the quality is high. Not necessarily a daily pastry and coffee place but definitely an occasional indulgence. There seemed to be a lot of “squatters” enjoying the vibe while tapping away on their laptops though they didnt appear to be the best customers. Pastries were great.“

“Love the fresh produce, they have the best corn and The Farmer’s Porch is amazing. Always one of our favorite spots in the fall!“

“The fruit tart is DELICIOUS! We drove all the way from attleboro to get these and they did not dissapoint!!“

“Great local food! Always great service“

“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. ❤️“

“The best place for breakfast, lunch, and coffee in the neighborhood. We go at least once a week!“

“I had an event this weekend for 50 people and James’ catered the food. It was a brunch, that included pastries, muffins, fruit, sandwiches, and quiches. The food was outstanding!!!!! James helped me plan the menu, he was accommodating, and everything was exactly as promised. The cost was extremely reasonable. I strongly recommend James’ without hesitation if you needed a caterer!!!! Thank you James, well done!!!!!“

“Great neighborhood coffee shop. Their flavors are abundant. Their sandwiches are delicious. I haven’t tried their blended drinks but have heard positive reviews from neighbors.“

“CATERING! We used French Press for our 30 person brunch for a birthday party. I couldn't have asked for an easier, more honest experience, and at a great price. The food was DELICIOUS--- we did Bialys, sandwiches, and salads. Plenty of choices even for folks with restrictions. The coffee, of course, was excellent. FWIW, in our group, the first things to go were the egg and bacon bialy and the caprese sandwich. (We had just the right amount of food-- a few leftovers, but we were never worried about running out of anything, all on Kirsten's advice.) Hoping to have another big milestone so we can use them again!“

“Moments Cafe offers one of the best matcha 🍵 latte I’ve ever tried in New England area.

I have lactose intolerance but i forgot to order my latte with oat milk 🥛. When I realized that the shop already made my drink so I asked them to remake it for me and they were happily remake it without complaint or charging me for another drink.

They also offer a variety of pastries 🥐 and waffles 🧇 that’s called Croffles, my absolute favorite!

I can not recommend this place enough! I’m so happy I’ve found a cozy coffee shop for the upcoming cold season. I’ll definitely tell all my friends and family to come and try their drinks and baked goodies.

Come and see for yourself, you won’t regret the trip!

Love,
Emmy“

“I have tried almost every Indian restaurant in Boston and this place has got me hooked. I have lived in India for 15 years and love Indian food and this place has the most authentic taste from what I have had in India. Highly recommend! 🤝💪“

“Best breakfast/brunch in town. I'm here at least once a week. Food is always fresh, stocked on hot sauce, plenty of choices. My gotos are the avocado toast (I get it with 3 poached eggs) and sometimes the French Toast with bananas. Solid! Super friendly staff.“

“Absolutely love Juicy Greens in JP! 🥰🥰“

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