50 Best Cafes near Westwood

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“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.!“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

“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…!“

“10/10 every time I go here. Today I got a chocolate chip muffin toasted with butter and bacon, egg and cheese on a asiago bagel and it was so delicious and worth the drive . I used to work in the area and would stop here every morning. I no longer work in the area but was craving it this morning and made the 30 minute drive. I’m SATISFIED!“

“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 pour over coffee in Boston. Pack and his baristas deliver a great experience, top-notch service. You can tell there is a lot of love for what he does. This is a great place for conversation and meeting new people. Skip the laptop and treat yourself!“

“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 local food! Always great service“

“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.“

“Excellent local breakfast joint with solid coffee and prices that can't be beat. A great location for breakfast, brunch, a good omlette or breakfast sandwich for under $4. Great neighborhood staple. Very handi-avcessible, and nice owners.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

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

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“My first time in and we will be back! The smells! The food! And of course the best coffee. We loved the vibe and the different seating options. Great way to step away from the chaos and into a different world for a beat.“

“Southwest chicken panini“

“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!!“

“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.“
