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!“

“Absolutely love Juicy Greens in JP! 🥰🥰“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

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

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“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.“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

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

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

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

“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.!“

“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!“

“TEBRİKLER... GÜZEL İNSANLAR“

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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…!“

“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.“

“Great place for coffee enthusiasts. So many fun pour overs to try! Fresh homemade breads are a bonus. Owner is super friendly and clearly loves sharing his passion.

During pop up on weekends 8a-12pm, cafe already packed by 8:30 and line is going out the door, so go early!“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“Great local food! Always great service“

“Best breakfast deal you will find anywhere in the city. Simple tasty and extremely affordable. They also offer Vietnamese iced coffee and it's really yummy something not usually found in your standard breakfast/lunch spot. Their corn muffins are so good and big. Never had any issues with my food, I've gotten delivery and pickup. My only wish is that they'd offer a bigger size of the Vietnamese iced coffee because it's so good“

“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“

“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! 🤝💪“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Really cute cafe. There’s not a ton of seating, but tables turned over pretty fast. My turkey BLT was great and I was impressed by how standout the tomato pesto was, it really made the classic sandwich unique. Recommend this place for sure.“

“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!!!!!“

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

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

“Such a wonderful place. The freshest of everything. Home made too. 💯💯💯 worth a try. You will keep coming back.“

“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.“

“I thought the Turkish coffee and tea here was quite good, and we enjoyed the baklava as well. I got an iced chocolate, which was decent.

There are several board games, including a Rummikub table (fully occupied by a group during our visit) and backgammon.

It's an interesting place, and seems like a fun place to hang out and play games.“

“I don’t think I need to keep looking to find the best coffee place/ bakery. Being from Spain, I really appreciate good coffee and handmade baked goods, and Tatte is THE place. For my fellow Europeans reading this, I find Tatte very similar to Madrid’s Santagloria or London’s Gail’s. Relaxing atmosphere, tables where you can work, and excellent service as well. I highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Stopped in for a smoothie and was immediately won over by the incredible art and was equally pleased with the Boost smoothie! Tasted great—peanut butter and banana is always a winner, it was liquid enough to go through the (nice wide) straw but not too thin. Will definitely be going back next time I’m in the area!“
