31 Best Cafes near Somerville

“una super atención, la comida muy buena la verdad que es lo mejor que eh probado“

“The best cappuccino I’ve ever had! A legit coffee shop with strong, quality espresso—and even the smell of the coffee inside is amazing. The older gentleman behind the counter was quiet but very kind, originally from Napoli. This is definitely my new go-to coffee spot. I’ll be dreaming about this cappuccino until I return. YUM!“

“Affordable & Yummy: I’ve been here twice for lunch and once for breakfast. Very happy with all three meals. My special tip: try one of their Costa Rican dishes. Amy and I had seafood soup lunch; my favorite so far here. Really excellent. My wife liked it as well, large portion we had to bring some of it home. The seafood tasted fresh and the spicing was memorable. Excellent broth. ($17) I also had a breakfast. Sort of an American scrambled eggs, kind of breakfast and it was good ($7:50). Potatoes were outstanding. Yummy freash coffee. My second lunch was the Costa Rican style tacos, which were very good. First time I’ve had that. I had took a photo which I’ll put on the review. Came with french fries which were nicely done. ($12:50) Service all three times so it was excellent. Restrooms clean. The inside has a old-time diner look to it. Cleary was probably diner for a long time. They still maintain a more American traditional diner menu in addition to the Costa Rican themed dishes. It was a nice surprise for Amy and Foundmourselves in Somerville, I as we were looking for something downtown. I sat outside for the second lunch and it was great. You’ll see you in the picture. Owners are present. I like the old time diner look. Definitely a bias of mine being a diner guy so I gave him five stars for that🙂 (FYI: You won’t see too many bad reviews from me. I tend to only post reviews of places I like. Also, I only do reviews generally after visiting an establishment three times. I occasionally make exceptions. My first job was in the restaurant kitchen business, and everybody has a bad day.)“

“The best food in town and very good empanadas 🙌🏼🥰“

“Great menu great atmosphere and excellent prices , the owners and staff super friendly“

“Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! Dining at Pink Pistachio Cafe was such a beautiful experience. Mariam was very attentive and helpful. For drinks ordered the mango mojito and pink matcha lattes. For lunch we enjoyed the fresh chipotle chicken sandwhiches. Cannot wait to come back again and order afternoon tea and desserts.“

“Delicious Boba!!! Camp Becca approved!! ❤️💕“

“Awesome breakfast sandwiches!“

“Easily a 5 star experience every time I go. The coffee is super smooth, well balanced, and consistently made right. My go to is the brown sugar shaken espresso, and it never misses. Perfectly sweet with just the right kick. And you have to try the Sean Sebastian cheesecake, it’s next level. I’m not a big cheesecake fan either. The vibe is great, the quality is there, and you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. Also shoutout to Najib for the excellent service and hospitality.“

“If you’re in the Basking Ridge area and want something quick but reallllly good, this is the spot. The owner is genuinely so sweet, and everything on the menu hits. Their coffee, boba, and cocoa are my go-to pick-me-ups whenever I’m working and need a little boost. Honestly, I’d give them 10 stars if I could.“

“Great breakfasts. World-class home fries!“

“Lifehack - although you need a membership to use the facilities inside the YMCA, anyone can come in and get their snack fix (workout optional).

Its a small cafe, but offers enough essentials. They sell pizzas, empandas, burgers, fries... as well healthy juice bar and variety drink options.

But their main feature is the acai bowls - acai, pitahaya or coconut base options. There's a handful of pre-built choices (loaded with fruits, granola, nutella or peanut butter) or create your own. Quick and efficient and beautifully prepared... our Berrytella and Dragon Kiwi bowls came out fresh and delicious.

Will definitely be back, and might even convince me to actually use the gym.“

“Delicious food ☕️ Awesome donuts 🍩 Internet service“

“This chef at this place has proven that good food does not have to be exotic or complex.

Farm Barn cafe offers simple non fussy delicious food that is easy to relate and enjoy.

Cool laid back vibe with a limited menu , but a easy menu with good choices and cooked with quality ingredients that reflects in the tasty food .

Treat for Vegan lovers - The smoky Quinoa Veg Chilli is everything a Chilli needs to be minus the meat .!

Pita Pizza - A Palm sized Margherita pizza on a home made Pita is a kids delight and a treat for adults

Jalapeño poppers - what a unique take at this - No breading, fried split Chillis stuffed with cheese, served open faced with a side of pickled jalapeños . This dish definitely packs a kick

Have a good meal at Farm Barn and walk around Duke Park to celebrate and digest it .“

“Amazing Cinnamon Rolls. Perfectly baked dough, not over done. Extra Cinnamon, not the cheap stuff and plenty of sweet glaze for the top.“

“Great time today with NBHS classmates for lunch. Good food, friendly staff. New favorite drink in a can: Spindrift. Special thanks to cashier who took the great photo. Sorry, didn’t get her name.“

“One of my favorite bakeries from now on. Love the pastries, drinks and the crew service is very good as well.“

“Blue Café exceeded every single one of my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. Matcha Latte & Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato fries are the best options on that menu, truly my favorite.“

“Delicious fresh food. Nuray's is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.“

“Choose two is the best!! Healthy food and great people in Raritan store Thank you for today“

“Food is always good (flavor & preparation). Staff at this location always attentive and friendly. Wish the portions hadn’t gotten so small—It’s fine to increase the price, but to ALSO decrease the portion; well, feel a bit ripped off 🤷‍♀️“

“We were there today with 3 adults and 7 kids ages 3-9. The staff is always wonderful but they were especially patient and sweet today. We love coming here on the train for lunch!!“

“I’m very pleased with the service and food here. Serval months of walk in and phone orders and it’s been perfect every time. Definitely recommend breakfast here. Egg, cheddar and hot sauce on a roll or bagel, with or without pork roll, love it.“

“Panera food has to be the most consistent good food I ever ate. It's so good and it's so fun to to eat there. It's always high quality and everything there tastes so good. We got takeout and the order was done 5 minutes ahead of time. All the food is packed really nicely in a double bag, and they gave us all portions of bread that tasted superb. If your stopping by the service at this Panera is friendly and it's just a great area to be around so 10/10 would recommend“

“Very nice place, kind of cozy! The sorrounding stores were very cute.“

“I loved their hand rolled bagels and they have a live station where you can experience making bagels infront of you.. very mesmerizing experience.. especially if you have young kids.. the staff is Spanish with less to no English.. but food covers it all..“
