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!“

“Nice place to grabe something and go! They place itself is kind of small, so I wouldn't count on getting a seat. The staff is chill and friendly. We got the Feta and Cheese, Pepper Biscuit with sausage, and ice cortado with oat milk, and a mocha with maple brown sugar. The food was good, and the coffee was pretty soild. Kinda pricey though.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The staff is extremely hospitable and is always happy to see a guest come into the shop- it’s such a great place to spend a morning having a snack and some coffee. The concept is really great- several friends who created a business together. Their treatment of customers clearly aligns with that.
The food, pastries, and desserts are phenomenal and their cakes, whole regular cake or custom design, are delicious and always turn out beautiful. They are also very willing to try to work to accommodate a customer on a custom cake or cupcake order.
If you’re looking for a real matcha latte and not a “cafe matcha”, theirs is delicious. While I’m not able to handle the punch of caffeine in their Vietnamese coffee too frequently, it is also delicious. Any of their teas or fruit-centered drinks are also great. I would highly recommend a strawberry jasmine with popping boba.
They do have parking behind the building, but just be sure to go in and grab a parking pass before sitting down for breakfast or dessert.
While it can get pricier with more items added to your order, it’s exceptionally clear that the prices support their business model- which focuses on a great customer experience while also providing good wages and a great working environment for all staff members.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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 :)“

“Truly such a hidden gem by Porter Square! We got three different crepes to try, the Second Breakfast, the House Special, and the Classic, and they were all truly delicious. We loved the homey, charming vibe inside and the staff was so friendly. Will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“We’ve visited several Tatte locations over the years and this one was just as enjoyable. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a menu that feels surprisingly Mediterranean-inspired for the U.S.

A great spot for breakfast or brunch, offering plenty of tasty options in a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Back Bay. ☕🥐🍳“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Nice cocktails and next to Mike’s Pastry“

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

“A bit of a wait (15 minutes) at 11am on a Friday. Service was good and the food was excellent. My wife had the deluxe French toast and I had the breakfast burrito with sausage. The food was piping hot and I actually had to wait a few minutes for it to cool off. Excellent spot!“

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

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

“5/5

-delicious brunch items such as the smoked salmon sandwich and the avocado salmon toast with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked fish
-immaculate pastries/sweets that has a balance of sweetness and good textures“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious caffe latte, which was a pleasant surprise, as I did not come in intending to order coffee. No hints of bitterness whatsoever and very smooth.

The lamb shakshuka with the poached egg and challah was delicious, and the flavors were balanced. The service was quick and friendly, even during a very busy brunch hour on a holiday weekend.“

“The almond croissant is one of the best I’ve had, and the cheddar bomb is an elite breakfast sandwich. It was a little spicy, very cheesy and delicious.

I’d recommend ordering ahead as there will be a line and a wait, but it’s totally worth it!“

“Burger is the best for me 😘“

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

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“Great atmosphere if you are into cozy homey vibes, this is the kind of place that doesn’t feel overwhelming to be in after a while; it’s the kind of place you feel calm and locked in and ready to do work! the owners are out of this world welcoming and hospitable. Great sandwiches, a nice variety of teas and good strong coffee. They also have ice cream!“

“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“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Aesthetic specialty coffee and brunch in Southie with outdoor seating! I liked the space and the minimalist vibe it had. There are lots of specialty coffee and matcha options, and they keep the menu seasonal which is nice. I especially appreciate that they don't upcharge based on milk choice! The breakfast sandwiches were great, on super good focaccia bread, and were a great portion size. Overall the prices were quite high, but worth it for the quality, and ambiance. They do have a no laptop policy on the weekends, I'm not sure how strictly it's enforced, but something to keep in mind.“

“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.“

“Erica at the register was so nice and she had some great recommendations. Their pita Mac was one of the best burgers I ever had. I loved their hummus and the green feta dip. The rotisserie chicken was delicious also. I will definitely be back“

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