22 Best Cafes near Northborough

“Picked up soup and sandwiches to go on a whim and they were all delicious. All together we had the grilled cheese and tomato soup, Italian, and roast beef - everyone was happy. The food was ready quickly, and the salads, cookies, and drinks in the coolers when I went to pick up the order looked really colorful and are reason enough to go back and try something new. Also maybe worth noting - I'm not really a pickle person, but the sandwiches came with sides of sliced pickles. Best I have ever had and I was wishing there were more. I think I like pickles now. Can't wait to go back!“

“Best bread, hands down. Every time I go I try something different and so far everything has been delicious, healthy 7 grains, traditional French, Irish soda bread (both traditional and white chocolate cranberry were amazing!) all different kinds of muffins and their scones! I had biscotti today and that was so good! And everyone work there are always nice and friendly, I feel so lucky to have this little gem near me!“

“This place it's cute, casual, like you are walking into Grandma's house through the back door (the kitchen) Service it's great, very friendly staff, they serve your first cup of tea, loved that. The food was to die for, everything was amazing. We got to try some new things and the scones were the best I ever had, so much so that I didn't even miss the clotted cream (they make their own, it's different but still good)Lovely atmosphere with a bunch of friendly people.The only thing is that it took an hour and a half for us to get our food. We had somewhere else to be so we kind of rushed through tea.Overall, great place with awesome staff and delicious food.“

“Excellent coffee. Fun ambiance. Staff was snooty. Would stop again when/if I'm in the area.Update: I recently started going back to lalajava, and it's my new favorite place! Staff is amazing, incredibly friendly, and helpful. Excellent product quality.“

“Very beautiful bistro. It took approximately 30 minutes for us to get a table on weekend.While we waited we started with coffee and macaroons. Coffee was really good and macaroons were perfect. Staff were very friendly. Ask for quiche of the day if you are non- vegetarian, they are delicious. Babettes’ feast was scrumptious. We did not find many vegetarian savoury options. I have visited this place twice before and I absolutely love coming here for brunch.“

“Reasonably priced. Good size menu. Wouldn't call it my favorite place to go but I'll be backWheelchair accessibility: Just before we left someone came in on a wheelchair. Didn't seem to have any issues wide open floor spacing“

“I think I finally found a local business I can support instead of going to Starbucks! The iced lattes here are delicious and the baked goods are FRESH. My friend said her nitro brew was on point. We’re both lactose intolerant and were glad they had all the alternative milk options. The cappuccino are true cappuccino (not lattes being mislabeled as cappuccinos).My neighbor and I enjoy meeting here to practice each other’s first language (she’s learning English; I’m learning Portuguese). There’s Wifi for when we need Google Translate and it’s quiet enough to hear each other (but loud enough that we aren’t uncomfortable chatting the entire time). Casual and friendly environment.For parents/guardians of littles, there’s 1 couch with children’s toys/coloring in a nearby cubby.For social media influencers, there’s a decorative wall for you to take your selfies in front of. And the drinks have a cute logo/sticker.Random: I also love the stickers they have for sale at the counter.I hope this place sticks around!“

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE COMING HERE! I’ve been coming here since 2021 and the service is amazing every single time. They know my order and I love the variety of shakes and teas!! It’s a 10/10 and I always make sure when I am in town this is a must stop!!!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Staff were so kind. The food tasted so fresh and yummy. The scenery was bright and comfortable. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great, healthy meal.“

“They catered a baby shower I was hosting and did a phenomenal job! The food was delicious and fresh! So many compliments from all who attended. Highly recommend for your next event!“

“Great menu - too many things to choose from! Unique, flexible and appealing food combinations, creatively and so nicely presented. They really put in a lot of extra effort to accomplish the quality and presentation of their food - it’s all delicious, fresh, and cooked exactly to your liking. The food is appealing to both children and adults.. So we highly recommend this special family owned and operated restaurant. to all. They are lovely people and we will definitely go back even though it’s a distance from where we live!“

“We stopped in quite by accident, as we were looking for a place for a quick lunch. As others note, the atmosphere is casual, and very family friendly. The owner was cooking, and his kids were hanging out as well. While not particularly fast, the food was excellent. I had the Grilled Spinach and Artichoke pannini and my wife had a "meatball" and cheese sub. Food was excellent, although cold beverage choices were a bit limited. Highly recommend this small business on the main drag!“

“Ice cream, coffee and a bakery in the same venue, plus it's open year round. I love it and will probably try the bakery side (serving sizes for ice cream and coffee are generous, by the way), next time. It's a great place to come and go sit in Grafton Common or take a walk afterwards.“

“amazing breakfast specials. came from out of town. if I ever go to Boston again I will come here. I was. never dissappointed with anything. everything was visually appealing.“

“Excellent nutritional shakes and teas, even better people“

“Stumbled upon this place today with hubby. Love the decor and cozy ambience. We had 2 different breakfast orders and both were delicious! The lady who served us was friendly too. We will come again bringing more of our family members. Highly recommend this place.“

“I was happy to stumble upon this cute cafe, with everything you need to kick start your weekend!I've never had the red barn coffee but I'm a Columbian coffee fan and their regular brewed coffee was delicious.Even more delicious was the Mocha fudge gingerbread muffin top. I could ask for that with my last meal on Earth. So light and fluffy with fudge in the middle.The atmosphere was extremely welcoming, the woman who took our order was a little less pleasant as we were taking our time looking around and figuring out what to order and she seemed to want to speed us up.The decorations are all coffee mugs that are also all unique and it was fun trying to look at all of them. They had a cute outside table that looked so cozy if there was just a little heater in this weather (December). I wish I lived closer so they could where I get all my coffee.“

“I went there for a lunch sandwich. The Cafe/Store offers sandwiches, salads, soups. Embedded, there is a high quality liquor store with a good wine selection, cigars and cheese. You can enjoy your sandwich either outside or sit on long tables surrounded by wine bottles which gives it an interesting flair. The sandwiches are good though on the pricier side.“

“I have been coming in once a week for the last few months and always enjoy my breakfast. I am beyond impressed with the quality and size of my breakfast sandwich every time. I usually have half for breakfast and half for lunch. I get the turkey bacon on a plain bagel with fresh lettuce and tomato, and have yet to get tired of it. It's loaded with turkey and they are never cheap with the bacon. I'm thrilled to see them throw on fresh bacon every time I order because that is unheard of at places like this these days. I never wait more than a few minutes and I'm out the door with a great breakfast each time.“

“The only reason I say 4 stars is I’m glad I looked at the menu before o went in to know how many great options they have. When you go in the menu is short and really doesn’t show all the amazing random things you wouldn’t find in other places. The people were great, coffee was strong and the seasonal flavor was amazing. The whole art and vibe in there is amazing!Parking: There is a limited spots to park but the timing is always perfect, people are in and out of the other places so it’s easy to find a close spot.“

“I am convinced this is my favorite sandwich spot in the US. I live in Los Angeles but work brings me to the …boroughs 3-4 times a year. With out fail, everyday I don’t have a work lunch I come here and bounce between the Angry Italian and the Crazy Caprese. The bread, the meats, the cheeses are all incredible on their own, but when the come together OMG.“

“Food here is consistently yummy..the hogan coffee is the best i have had out in a long time! Not sure if Hogan coffee sells only to retail establishments only. The soups are great and they change the soups often with multiple choices. Lunch sandwiches are always good and it includes wraps too. Menu is varied and has a good selections. I recommend this little comfy restaurant in Hudson Ma“
