50 Best Cafes near Winthrop

“Not much more to say that OUTSTANDING!! he food is delicious, abundant, varied, signature to them in tastes and styles, affordable, local, fresh - and served/prepared by an amazing crew!! It's a tiny place, which you would think would discourage many. But not here!! That should tell you something. Not only is there a line out the door for 'to-go' ordering, but people filing in and out who ordered ahead - not to mention those ]like myself] willing to wait - cramped - patiently awaiting a seat to open in order to dine in. Ya, to some it might seem more hassle than the hype. But I say the hassle is because the hype is true!! Anything worth having is worthy a bit of struggle to get it. JAC's is an excellent example of that! Thank you to the entire crew for all you do, your hard work and dedication to quality shines through!“

“Great local place for breakfast, cold brew, smoothies, pupsicles, or a light lunch!“

“First time visiting and felt like family.Just a couple of out of towners looking for a cup of coffee at a local joint. Initially we were completely lost in the meat market/cafe setting until a friendly police officer in the restaurant told us to just have a seat if we were dining in. Shortly there after they were brewing a fresh pot of coffee while we perused the menu. After asking what the soup of the day was, we were brought a sampling of the two soups (chicken vegetable and tomato, both were phenomenal).After over hearing the chicken pot pie had just come out of the oven, we settled on that and the cranberry chicken salad sandwich. The portions were huge.After making sizable dent in our selections the waiter came out with a sampling on their chicken parmesan and meatballs covered in their tomato sauce. The chicken was probably better than anything I’ve had at an Italian restaurant. The meatballs were perfectly cooked. Not too much meat and not too much filler. The tomato sauce was very light and had a good flavor.They next time we are in Boston Cimino’s will be on our list. It’s a bit of a hike out of the city, but the food was excellent and the staff was over the top friendly. Thanks for the coffee. Hope to see you soon.Two Texans“

“loved it , just alittle charming place and it overlooks the ocean . Loved it n food was awesome. awesome place to go with friends to sit n chat 💕🎀💕“

“Awesome little cafe! Me and my fiancé stopped in the morning of New Year’s Eve. The food was fantastic and their Eggs Benedict was some of the best I ever had. Clean place with very friendly staff.“

“I cannot say enough about this place! Great food, excellent service and friendly people. We ate here everyday of our trip and loved it! Thank you Chef Steven for your kindness and generosity! We will be back! Love your Ohio girls!“

“Walking into this breakfast spot instantly lifts your mood — the warm aroma of fresh bagels, sizzling sausage, and roasted coffee beans sets the tone for a joyful start to the day. Everything about the place radiates comfort and optimism, from the friendly staff who greet you with genuine smiles to the vibrant presentation of each dish.

The bagel with sausage and egg is an absolute delight. The bagel is toasted perfectly, with a light crunch on the outside and soft, chewy warmth inside. The sausage adds a savory depth while the egg ties everything together, creating a hearty and satisfying bite that fuels you with energy for the day ahead.

Equally impressive is the avocado, egg, spinach, and cheese option. It feels like the definition of a “power breakfast” — the creaminess of avocado blended with the richness of melted cheese, the freshness of spinach, and the fluffiness of egg. Every mouthful tastes wholesome and balanced, delivering both nourishment and comfort. It’s the kind of dish that makes you feel proud of your food choice because it’s delicious yet packed with goodness.

To complement the meal, the strawberry smoothie with almond milk is pure bliss. Refreshing, naturally sweet, and silky smooth, it brings a burst of fruitiness that pairs beautifully with the savory plates. It feels like a treat and a health boost at the same time. For coffee lovers, the iced coffee is bold, crisp, and uplifting — the perfect companion to sip slowly while savoring breakfast conversations or quietly reflecting before the day begins.

This restaurant doesn’t just serve food — it delivers positivity on a plate and in a cup. Every item reflects care, quality, and a genuine desire to brighten your morning. A breakfast here doesn’t just fill your stomach, it fills your spirit with optimism“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Delicious, Yummy, Friendly, Locally owned, with baking ingredients specialities! We’re so happy to have this warm and inviting place around the corner from where we live. #support local !!“

“I can’t stop thinking about the egg cheddar I got. I eat eggs almost every day and this is one of the best egg and cheese sandwiches I’ve had. I love the spicy touch of the harissa, what a great addition.
Mocha was also good! Very cozy atmosphere“

“I had the Hot honey glazed chicken sandwich. It was the best vegan sandwich I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had a lot of vegan sandwiches.“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“Amazing coffee and food! Not super sweet like other shops and the coffee is flavorful! Great friendly service!“

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

“I don't usually review, but I've had such good experiences here. Despite the fact that I'm usually rushing in about ten minutes before closing, the staff is always so kind and helpful every time. I've liked pretty much everything I've tried here, but the Thai Tea Latte and Choco-Oreo Balls tend to be my go-to (with things like the Banoffee Cake or the Strawberry Shortcake when I'm feeling fancy). I routinely get to my 7:00 pm events an hour early because if I'm going to Union Square, I want to make it to Maprang before they close at 6:00 pm. A true neighborhood gem!“

“It sounds crazy to say a breakfast sandwich was your favorite meal on a trip... until you try the ones at Crave!
The poblano crema really made the sandwich and we enjoyed adding the pumpkin spice to the hot chocolate... delicious!
I can't wait to go back next year!“

“Had a wonderful time, especially thanks to the tour guide(s) at 4 pm. The main leader, “Sarah,” definitely made the experience worthwhile. There was a giant group of young kids that weren’t paying much attention (as young kids do-not a complaint) yet we were able to learn and enjoy the amazing museum and experiences nonetheless. They were very accommodating, humorous, and well equipped to handle large groups of people while keeping their attention. We liked the experience and would go back.“

“Though I have not been to the Cafe in person, the sandwich I had from there was one of the best I have ever eaten! Can't wait to go in person. 5 stars.😋“

“Union Cafe has become one of my favorite go-to places in Lynn, MA. My wife and I recently moved to the area and upon visiting Union Cafe, we found the options limited for us due to the fact my wife and I are both vegan. After speaking with the very friendly owner, Charbell, and telling him, though we loved the place, thaat except for muffins, and beverages, there wasn't much for us to eat. He asked us what he could do to facilite us and after brought in Impossible burgers and Felafel wraps, both vegan. It has now become our regualar haunt. The entire staff is very friendly and provides exceptional service. I love when a business owner listens to his customers and responds so well. BTW, my wife loves the felafel and they cook the Impossible burger to order which is fantastic!“

“Delicious baked goods and coffee/espresso drinks. Owners are warm and friendly. We had the chocolaye crossaint, sliced salmon bagel sandwich and steel cut oatmeal with mixed nuts (oatmeal is reheated in microwave but was still good). They also have a variety of blended smoothies. Highly recommend“

“After living nearby for more than a year, I finally visited Bikeeny Caffe this week. The pastries were delightful! My favorites were the Italian cheese blend pastry and the honey pecan pastry in the photo I’ve included. The employees were cheerful and kind. I plan to return at least once every week!“

“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.“

“We bought GH coffee in Boston a couple years ago. Best coffee ever!“

“So sad. Today was their last day in Allston. Going to miss them...and their banana bread!“

“stopped on our vacation to Boston while exploring in Salem! such a cute little shop!! our drinks were perfection!! I got a something seasonal coconut brulee? we also had a caramel latte both were delicious! amazing Boba selection too!!“

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

“The food is delicious and made with such care — every dish tastes fresh and flavorful. The pastries are outstanding — flaky, fresh, and just the right amount of sweetness. The café has a warm, inviting atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and helpful. A perfect spot for brunch, coffee, or a sweet treat. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome food and the staff is friendly. Also the hometown Cafe atmosphere is great.“

“A warm welcome here and the food is good. Seating probably for about 20 or so people. It’s a “hole in the wall” place that appeared to me that the locals frequent judging by the way the staff knew a lot of customers coming in for take outs. We were warmly welcomed by Jackie and Christina and could see how hard they worked getting orders out quickly. We ate in the cafe. I had eggs, bacon, toast and tea. Hubby had same with home fries. Delicious! Prices are very reasonable. The menu is quite extensive so I imagine there’s something for everyone. We visited for just the few days we stayed in Boston and would definitely return if we go back to the area. Well done guys! Jackie and Cristina, you’re a pair of working superstars!“

“Visited this awesome cafe during my stay in Dorchester. The cozy atmosphere and the delicious selection of pastries and sandwiches made it one of the highlights of my trip! I loved the mexican chocolate spice cake, fruit bread pudding, and the strawberry almond bar.“

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

“Cosmopolitan setting, designed to be in and out fairly quickly w limited seating. Busy, high energy. Very well trained staff.

Amazing food. So fresh and prepared in interesting ways. Lamb hash was a real treat and the oats w berries was the freshest we've ever had.

If we lived locally, this would be a regular stop.“

“Great variety in fantastic tasting bubble teas and mochinuts!“

“Corner Cafe & Bakery is an Asian bakery located in the heart of Chinatown.

The staff are friendly, though there is little interaction with them as it is a pick your own, as most Asian bakeries are. there is a $10 minimum to use a credit card, but getting a decent amount of pastries will hit this easily.

The pastries are pretty average to other Asian bakeries in the area. The Pineapple bun is good, and they offer multiple options like roll cakes, hot dog bao, and more.“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“I have been enjoying this cafe for a few years now and am still always happy with the truly friendly service along with some of the best sandwichs ever. This is comparing to other great delis around the city. Their salami, capocollo, and provolone with everything on it, on a freshly baked and grilled toasted baguette has to be honestly in my top 3 sandwiches I have ever had in my life.“

“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“

“Grande Burrito, X-Tudo, chicken stucks, Coxhinas“

“So excited I got to enjoy the Roasted Turkey Sandwich today! Love the T.V. show & cookbooks so this visit was a bucket list item.“

“Amazing Staff, amazing food !!! If You’re in Harvard Sq. don’t miss out!“

“Absolutely the BEST place to get boba tea! Of all the places I've gotten boba Teamoji is the BEST! They have a great menu that you can customize your orders. Their boba pearls have the best flavor of an I've tasted. I usually get mine to go but this Cafe is very cute and cozy with lots of beautiful plants. You can order ahead online.“

“Tatte is an amazing bakery, always my first stop on my trips to Boston, offering savory and sweet offerings, combining the Israeli traditions with American tastes. Watch for example the use of za'atar or sesame seeds. If you can, get some of the nut cake which is remarkable. Their coffee is also third wave level“

“This was so good!
I had a great experience at this place! I enjoyed the lamb breakfast and a cappuccino. The variety of choices is impressive, and the breakfast was simply delicious. The cappuccino came with adorable cat latte art, reflecting the staff's extra care and attention to detail. The place is well-designed and well-organized. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Boston.“

“Cafe 180 Serves coffee and fresh pastries with a smile. Excellent place to meet a colleague or friend. Highly Recommend!“

“The location, atmosphere, and service were great! The drinks were pretty good. The food was different for us but we’re from the south. It was good, but if you’re used to southern breakfasts, order something different so you won’t be disappointed! Their “salsa” was similar to tomato soup with no spice so that was unique!“

“Found the Seaport Cafe a short walk from the conference center. They are allergy friendly, the menu is clearly marked. Coffee is hot and left right at your table. The food was amazing! I had the 3 egg omelette and loved it. What a nice experience and so nice to get away from the crowds at the conference hotel!“

“Legit latte, not the hot bean water you'd get at Starbucks.

So good we went two days in a row while staying in Somerville.

The venue is very small, but the coffee packs a punch.

They do offer pastries as well!“

“I frequent Cannonball Cafe for coffee and to switch up my WFH atmosphere. The pastries, lattes, iced coffees, and toasts that I have tried have all been delicious, and I always look forward to getting to spend the day at Cannonball when I choose to work from there. I love how the team at Cannonball is always thinking of new and fresh ideas when it comes to drinks and events, from unique lattes to farmers markets on Sundays and a beautiful new patio, they have been a great addition to the neighborhood and it's fun and exciting to watch them grow and develop. Where Cannonball really shined recently is when I called to place a large cookie order for our wedding welcome party. Rachel was happy to take on the order on short notice, and made some of THE MOST delicious cookies I have ever had (chocolate chip with sea salt, snickerdoodle, and sugar cookies with sprinkles.) Our guests loved them, and the 50 cookies that we ordered were gone by the end of the night (and we only had 35 guests!) I would highly recommend Cannonball for a quick coffee, a nice work day vibe, or to bring desserts to for your next party or event!“
