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“

“This is probably my favorite place in Somerville. The staff is always incredibly nice. The food is always freshly prepared and tastes amazing. Strawberry jam bars, blueberry scones, apple cider muffins, AND MOLASSES COOKIES (when available) are great. Can't go wrong with an egg, cheese & sausage pepper biscuit.“

“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!“

“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.“

“It's the best cheesecake I've ever had! I got the ube cheesecake and the Thai tea. Absolutely delicious incredible texture and flavor! Only reason it doesn't get a 5 out of 5 stars on atmosphere cuz there just was no room to even walk around with how many people there were sitting in there. other than that absolutely fantastic I will be back for the cheesecake 100%“

“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.😋“

“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.“

“I stopped by Sorelle Bakery & Cafe near Boston’s Financial District, and it felt like a perfect little spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break. The café has a relaxed neighborhood vibe, with people grabbing coffee on their way to work or sitting down for a casual lunch.

I ordered a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and both were fresh and satisfying. The bakery also has a good selection of pastries, muffins, scones, soups, salads, and sandwiches, making it a convenient place for either breakfast or a light lunch.

The service was quick and friendly, which makes sense since many customers are office workers from nearby buildings. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable—nothing fancy, but a nice place to relax for a few minutes in the middle of a busy downtown area.

Overall, Sorelle Bakery & Cafe is a solid choice if you want good coffee, fresh pastries, and a quick, casual meal while exploring or working in downtown Boston“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Just wow. I was visiting Boston and was staying near the Bean and Leaf Cafe. The food looked delicious online. So decided to go. When we arrived we were greeted and asked if we wanted breakfast or lunch. Gave us an option. We decided to do breakfast and the food tasted so fresh and real. Everything was delicious. I recommend everyone to stop by and have a bit. Thank Bean and Leaf staff 🙏💪☘️“

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

“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.“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“Amazing as always!! Staff and service wonderful.“

“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.“

“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“

“Dado is the best kept secret in Cambridge. A beautiful café that feels so peaceful, considered and thoughtful in its every detail—the perfect place to sit with a friend, or take some time to just be alone and read a book. The co-owner Namwon has great energy. He was always really kind and welcoming to me and my boyfriend (we are from Australia, but Dado felt like a little slice of home). The food is really tasty (I could never go past their egg-salad sandwich; my partner loves the bibimbap wrap), and Dado, of course, has an amazing selection of teas. More than just feeding the body, all the meals felt like they were nourishing the soul. Just good honest cooking—maybe the rarest of things today. We’re about to leave Harvard this semester, and one of the great things we’ll miss is Dado.“

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

“Tatte has amazing treats, atmosphere and options. If you're a regular, like me, you're always curious to know what's the next set of seasonal novelties! Always with passion in mind, this place is one of my favorites in NE, but I know there are more out of state. I love the staff there!“

“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.“

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

“It was just another day of Ivy League networking for this metropolitan girl. After inhaling more liquid than I could hold (I nearly leaked myself in front of a prospect!), i sprinted to tatte’s single person restroom. A smooth man came out just in time. As I put my hand out to open the door, he said “oh no, someone’s still in there”. I quivered and stomped my right foot for two minutes in confusion until a second man exited the same restroom (were they brothers? sure looked like it!). First I wondered what they were doing together in there. Then I said to myself “hey! don’t judge, some people need help in the bathroom.” He had a big smile on his face. So did I!“

“A cozy neighborhood café with quick service and genuinely friendly staff. I have had their breakfast sandwiches and chicken salad sandwiches multiple times, Ofcourse coffee and they’re consistently good. Easy place to keep coming back to.“

“Spacious cafe with super cute indoor seating and a green outdoor seating area.

I got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel with tempeh bacon (that was great). Latte was also yummy and split a brown butter chocolate chip cookie (tasty and sweet). Would definitely come back, wish it was closer to where I lived!“

“smooth latte, nice to have a decaffeinated lattee.“

“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!“
