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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Fig is the best! Their takeout window basically got me through the pandemic, and I feel very lucky that this is my local. As a certified scone-hater, their blueberry scone is the best I've ever had. I recommend their lattes, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches (the cheddar cheese is SHARP), and chia pudding. Their lunch sandwiches are also great. 10/10 for staff, vibes, food, and coffee.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“What a cozy little place and such beautiful cakes! Plus, it's run by a Southeast Asian girl, so they're not too sweet!!

Thai Tea Cake: The Thai milk tea flavor is balanced and delicate. The cake itself is soft yet slightly coarse, and the cream is smooth and creamy. It's very pleasant to eat.

Ube Latte: It tastes like the ube milk tea or ube ice cream cones I used to eat as a child, but it's not as sweet, and you can taste the good quality milk.“

“Cute little city coffee cafe! Just a hop in from right off the main streets, they had a really nice selection of coffee, teas, pastries, soups, salads, etc. It’s very cozy inside with tables, chairs and low lighting. It was decently quiet inside, and the staff is friendly and helpful with suggestions. We got two pistachio lattes and they were incredibly good. Not too heavy on flavoring and they didn’t taste artificial. Overall, a nice stop for a bite and drink.“

“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!“

“We ate at bom dough when we visited my grandson who lives on Cambridge Street . Food was delicious and unique. Would love to send him a gift card , and would also eat there again if we visit him.“

“Here from Chicago on a rainy Sunday morning. Looking for a breakfast place near our hotel. Saw this online and was 5 minute walk so we headed over. Surprisingly great coffee is always a good start. The food was delicious! Pancakes were thick, light and fluffy. Good sausage and eggs. Service was very attentive- seemed to be a family run place. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.😋“

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

“I visited this shop for the first time today, and the atmosphere was both cozy and tidy! The staff were incredibly friendly. The owner, in particular, was exceptionally helpful—he gave me all the pens in the shop for free, helping me solve a major work problem! He said he didn't need any thanks from me! I was truly deeply moved.“

“With so few bubble tea hangout spots outside of Boston, Teamoji is one of the few places I genuinely recommend. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff. I was pleasantly surprised by how extensive the menu was, which made choosing a drink a challenge in the best way. The shop was clean, inviting, and featured a cute seating area that's perfect for hanging out. The drink I ordered met my expectations perfectly, with the right balance of sweetness, flavor, and texture. I'm glad I decided to give Teamoji a try, and I'll definitely be coming back. Oh...can't forget how easy finding parking was, there's plenty!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Probably the only place in the area that actually uses a fresh fried egg! I’ve tried every single other coffee shop in Salem and Crave remains my favorite by a longshot. They use actually quality ingredients (not a microwave) and compared to other coffee shops, are actually quite reasonable for the area. Service is always friendly too :)“

“,Tatte Bakery & Cafe in Boston is absolute perfection. The coffee is exceptionally rich and delicious. I highly recommend ordering the shaksuka served with their homemade bread, and the desserts are simply extraordinary.

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

“The food is so delicious. My kids loved the food. My husband I loved it too. The english muffin with sausage and bacon were amazing. Yogurt parfait with fruits was the best I ever tasted. Service is amazing. Place is small but doesnt matter, the heart is there. I highly recommend this place. Very good prices.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

“We were on a trip and found this Cafe during our walk through the historic places in Boston. It offers delicious pastries, various breakfast sandwiches and lots of options for coffee and tea. Their orange juice is spectacular and the closest one to a real orange juice I've ever had. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The dining area is a little small for the number of the customers but there are also chairs and tables outside. The Croissant breakfast sandwich and the Honey Halva Latte we had were so delicious. Thank you Tatte.“

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

“Vegan POV: the broccolini, squash and hummus wrap is delicious and worth the visit. Sadly, no soy milk option for coffee - only oat 😦and almond 😫(opinions about non dairy milk options are my own). I didn't see vegan pastry options, but I admittedly wasn't looking for them, so might have missed one.“

“Thank you for GREAT customer service and making me feel welcome. The cafe is immaculate and the food and drink was delicious! My first Iced Matcha!!! Well worth the visit from SW France 🇺🇸🇫🇷 Great merchandise and appreciated the WiFi....Á bientôt!“

“Really enjoyed this coffee shop! The espresso was excellent—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot in the South End for a quality espresso and a relaxing coffee break!“

“I like it! The person who attended to my order was super kind. The matcha limeade is exceptional! They hand whisk the matcha and use good quality powder!!! i am impressed. Just be sure to go with enough time since it might take a while, understandably.“

“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!“

“I’ve come here many times and get the same combo. The iced coffee is refreshing and easy to drink. I can’t speak to the barista coffee. I like the fact that I saw the coffee being percolated for the iced coffee. The sandwiches are the winner. The crunchy bread, the peppers, the cheese and meat, it’s overall a well made sandwich that rings true to the name of the cafe, rustic French vibes. The staff have always been friendly when I’ve visited. It’s a cute cafe and the sandwiches and iced cafe are great at a good price.“

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

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

“I recommend their Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant Grilled. Amazingly good.“

“Tried several Tatte and this one is special. Food is always perfect and if ever someone has taken my online order, the managers always assist and get is asap. Store is super clean and service is always special. I do like the small talk. Mary, Francesca Gm, Roselyn, Hector always know my order and drinks. Totally worth the daily trip.“

“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“

“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.“
