50 Best Cafes near Westwood

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

“Didn't realize when we looked it up that it was in the basement of an office building, so felt weird going there. I am glad we went, blueberry pancakes were really good, the blueberries were so juicy. The Western omelette, even though it was deli style ham, was also very good with lots of veggies. Home fries and toast are not included with the omelette price which is different than I'm used to but the omelette was the star anyway!“

“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!“

“Good food, but not worth the rushed experience.
My wife and I reserved a birthday brunch here. After traveling an hour, we were rushed in and out in just 25 minutes. The server was so rushed they missed several of our ordered dishes. The bill arrived right away, leaving no time to discuss the missing items.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Would give it 10 stars if I could! Fabulous place

Kid-friendliness: From their website: "Most of our game collection is geared toward people ages 10+, but we do have a small selection of kids’ games that can be brought out on request."“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“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.!“

“I stumbled into this cozy little café on a rainy day without checking Google reviews, which I usually do. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm atmosphere and the friendly owner. The menu offers a nice selection of sandwiches and bagels. I ordered my usual hot caramel latte with oat milk, and it was delicious—not too sweet or over powered by the caramel but just having the underlying notes of it which is exactly what I love.“

“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 spot for coffee and croffle! I’m a fan of the cloud foam latte.

Update 10/5/24
I've been back a few time and they've added more items to their menu. I still think they have the best croffle in Boston. Their pistachio latte comes. which comes with a delicious layer of sweet foam, is heavenly!“

“my favorite place to get my iced latte in the morning ♥️ and allergy friendly coffee flavors (brown sugar caramel is my fave)!“

“loved the chick pea fries❣“

“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.“

“My partner and I went in on a Sunday morning. The line was almost out the door, but the line went surprisingly quickly. They made a big effort to ensure there is as short of a wait as possible. I got the spinach bagel with the lox cream cheese. It was very delicious, and the spinach bagel tasted perfectly of spinach.“

“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 Square Root has great coffee, beer, and food and is fun intimate place to catch LIVE music!“

“Stopped by here for breakfast with my toddler. High chairs are available upon request. The breakfast plate I ordered for myself was good. They would not sell a la carte sides. The drip coffee was great. Tried the tumeric latte - good taste, but the whole thing was foam so I ended up only having a few sips. Nice ambiance. Good for a quick bite.“

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

“I absolutely loved the fresh bagels at Cafe Fresh Bagel! Plain and cinnamon bagels were so good! They were super flavorable. I loved every bite! I definitely encourage others to come stop by.The customer service here was really sweet and polite. They put me at ease.“

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

“Fast service mixed with low key vibes sets the stage for wonderful dinner food. Came in for the first time with a hankering for a proper Bacon egg & cheese, the sandwich was exactly what I wanted. Piled high with a perfectly crispy mound of bacon seated on a soft cushioned egg and topped with the most crispy and crunchy hash brown with savory cheese sticking it all together. The sandwich did not survive the ride home. And coming in at $5 for the order my only regret was not leaving with two.

EDIT: 10/1/24
I Have now been back over 10 times. The quality remains exceptional. What is really impressive is no matter how packed the joint is I have never waited longer than 5 minutes for my order. This spot continues to impress!“

“Loved the vibe of this place and serves top notch pastries and confectioneries. Had been to this place with my best friend and enjoyed the time here.

We ordered a black sesame latte, a simple latte, passion fruit krembo plus a chickpea and fava plate (served with Pita bread). Loved everything we ordered and I can still recollect the flavour of the black sesame latte.

Will surely recommend this place if you happen to visit Boston.“

“Good food! Good vibes! Good people! I would give this establishment 10 stars if I could! I’d like to take a special moment to appreciate the customer service! Sebastian is such a great guy! He’s an expert in smoothie making! The smoothies are marvelous! ✨“

“This cafe is the definition of amazing people and amazing food. They have my roommates and I’s orders memorized and always are so prompt with their service. Truly the definition of a small business that deserves attention and support from our community.“

“Tatte quickly becoming my favorite cafe, with their quality coffee & pastry, plus the excellent hospitality!!

My go-to is always the black sesame latte opts for oat milk!! It is so creamy with a lil crunchy black sesame seed in the latte, such a wonderful combination. I requested extra hot and less sweet for my latte, which makes it even better!

The service is just top-notch!! The crew are so nice and knowledgeable with recommendations. Will definitely stop by again soon! Highly recommended!???“

“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**

Brothers & Sisters Co. in Brookline Village is an absolute gem! Located just steps away from mass transit, this coffeehouse exudes a friendly, family-style atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with smiles, delicious coffee, drinks, and mouth-watering food.“

“Tried Salep today! Soooo tasty! It’s like eggnog in my mind: very creamy and lots of cinnamon and such. It does have a bit of a gritty, vegetable-like texture which is interesting.

I also tried a few pieces of baklava and a chocolate croissant.

The place is quite crowded, and parking is also tricky as the road is busy and the two hour free parking is usually quite full.

I had to move chairs in to be able to use my walker to get inside, and the tables and chairs are quite low, so I sat on my walker-seat instead of the sprawling chairs, but that meant I stuck out a bit (literally into the walkway).

BUT that’s likely because the food is good. The place was bustling indeed.

I waited 15-20 min for my drink and food to come, but I noticed there were MANY tiny-cupped drinks before mine.

Staff were friendly. The atmosphere feels very homey.

The Salep was my favorite. I also loved the chocolate baklava. I didn’t like the pistachio roll or the croissant (it was a bit burned on the bottom).

This came to $16, which was more
Than I expected. The baklava is $7, so I supposed the drink and croissant must have been about $5 each.“

“I have always had good experiences here until tonight. I came in and ordered my bubble tea and sat down to wait. 20 minutes went by and I asked when my drink would be ready and they didn’t know I had ordered, despite that I did in fact order with them. They apologized and refunded me and made my tea. After I left I realized there was no boba in the tea. I was the only one in the shop for the entire 30 minute trip. I will continue to go back here because the bubble tea is so amazing, but tonight was a disappointing and strange experience.“

“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!“

“Great food and great tea. Not a place if in a rush though- took almost an hour and a half to get my wrap today dining in when it was slow.“

“We absolutely loved our meal here! The service was perfect. They found out it was our little one’s birthday and made it such a special night for her by letting her try mango lassi and bringing out a chocolate cake to celebrate her.
The food was authentic and delicious. I could not stop eating it was that good!“

“Worked a 12 hour overnight shift and I was craving bomb breakfast food. A colleague recommended this place. It did not disappoint. Potatoes were cooked perfectly, the eggs Benedict was delicious, best French toast I’ve ever had, fresh squeezed orange juice, and rich strong coffee. Im definitely coming back, if you want breakfast food that hits the spot, this is the place. 11/10 highly recommend. I will absolutely be back.“

“Thank you to the Taso family!! we were in there today, celebrating my husband’s birthday with my in-laws and my children and you welcomed us newcomers with open arms. We enjoyed the atmosphere absolutely loved the food the service your staff, and the three of you were absolutely wonderful people. Highly recommend and we will definitely be spreading the word about you and your fabulous café and we will most definitely be back again.! The Belezos Family❤️“

“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.“

“I cannot recommend this venue highly enough! There were all types of people at the concert, young, older, a few parents with kids and more. They are accommodating, really nice people and the personalized experience from both the venue and the artists was amazing! So if you are handicapped/disabled, please don't be afraid to go! If you're not, don't hesitate to go. They will take great care of you. I had questions, emailed them prior, best parking, cannot stand due to disability etc. They responded quickly and politely, very helpful. I didn't feel like a burden at all. Saw Sheppard here, VIP, and the experience made me soooo happy.(Also, great pricing) Highly recommend this venue for an enjoyable, fun experience! Much love to Berklee and Sheppard for making, my most likely, last concert experience so amazing! ❤️ Summary: GO, GO here for a show. You'll have a wonderful time!“

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

“The Honey Hybrid coffee is DELICIOUS!!“

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

“I can't wait until the hiatus is over. I miss the amazing hand pies, delightful atmosphere, and friendly staff. Nubian square's other cafes are no comparison in either quality or cost (or both). I look forward to Friday mornings having joy again.“

“Nicole at the front register is amazing!!!! She was so friendly and welcoming. I already love this place so much and dine at most of the locations, but I will definitely be coming back to this one more often. Thank you Nicole for being so accommodating and friendly! She definitely made my already good day even better.“

“Toffee cookie and iced chai were good! Cashier was very friendly. Ever so slight star reduction since they only have chocolate flavoring for drinks. Otherwise, really enjoyed trying this place. They were playing jazz and the vibe is perfect to journal or read.“

“Juices are incredibly delicious. Love the combinations. Great family owned business that any community would be lucky to have!“

“Delicious food and wonderful staff“
