16 Best Cafes near Sterling

“Stopped into this cute little cafe in Sterling I had missed even though I've driven down 12 there a million times. I was looking for a cup of coffee and had an excellent latte. I was surprised to see a pretty extensive breakfast menu, including pancakes and lots of egg dishes, I had assumed it might be just a bakery/coffee place. Plan to stop back again soon for breakfast!“

“Been coming here for twenty years after marrying a local. Great improvements after the ownership switch. Robin runs a great place. Really cleaned it up and improved offerings. Service has always been great and personable and helpful. It's definitely got that small place feel. Nice slice of local flavor. It can get pretty busy at typical peaks. Price is very reasonable for what you get. Two adults and two kids is about $60. Always a favorite.“

“This place is soo good and relatively inexpensive! Amazing bagels, great coffee. I was impressed that the sausage isn’t a sad gray sausage patty, I think it was linguica or something similar. I went through the drive thru which was so helpful with having a baby in the car! So good, definitely going back!“

“Not gourmet but low cost and good quality panini for the price. A lot of natural light and space, but it looks like they’re growing into the space. Great place to hang out for all ages.Kid-friendliness: Wonderfully kid friendly while not being for kids per say. Changing table in the restroom, space for a stroller.“

“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!“

“I needed some food for the road and was struggling via happy cow to find a place that was open (drove to a couple places unwisely using incorrect hours listed on happy cow vs website lookup). Found this place and it was either a slow day or an off day because only one person was working (friendly/good service) and nothing was in the display cases (I had wanted to pick up a pastry or something for my partner). Had to wait a bit but was glad I'd found this place-the sandwich and smoothie I ordered were just what I needed to keep me fueled up, nourished, and enjoying how delicious and satisfying they were. I'll definitely go back to enjoy the meals I saw on the menu and try whatever gets put into those display cases. I'll probably go to sit down next time so waiting won't bother me (it actually never bothers me if the food is delicious at the end of the day lol) but if you needed to be fast try ordering online“

“Highly satisfied with my first visit! Came in around 12pm on a Saturday and was served quickly. Variety of menu items but not overwhelming. Tried the turkey club sandwich on sourdough, fresh bread and delicious smoked bacon with fresh veggies. The house blend cold brew iced coffee was GREAT. My husband liked his Americano, but unfortunately they lost his sandwich order. After a while he went to the counter to check in and the staff was very polite and quickly whipped it up for him. However, he asked for no bacon on his brioche sandwich (he’s vegetarian) and… there was a pile of bacon on his sandwich. Good news for me, extra bacon! We will try this place again because it was cute and we liked the coffee and baked goods.“

“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.“

“We just had my baby shower at the Mountainside Bakery and Cafe and could not have had a more perfect venue! The charm of the house and the huge windows for sunlight to come in really brightened up a cold winter day. The team was so easy to work with and the food and desserts were absolutely delicious! I would recommend anyone looking for a baby shower venue checks out Mountainside!“

“First time here. I love the decor. Very old world shabby chic and comfy. The people who work there are friendly and welcoming. The place was packed but we never felt rushed. The food was amazing. Started with chi latte and cappuccino that was made perfectly. We had the baked brie appetizer and it was served with fresh fruit, bread, and other things that went perfectly. We also had fresh fruit cup that was big enough to share and had plenty of berries.After that we had crepes and quiche. We were there over 2 hours and it felt like 20 minutes because we were so relaxed in the atmosphere. Oh and they make their own macarons!!! It is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday with friends.Vegetarian options: They have a lot of optionsParking: It's hard to park behind the building when it's busy, but you can park at the library and there is a walking path to the restaurant.“

“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!“

“We were looking for a place to sit for breakfast that wasn't a diner. I came across this online, and after reading the reviews, we decided to check it out. So glad we did! All the reviews were right! Very good food! Couple things to know: it's cash only, and however, it appears on the menu is how it comes. For example I asked if their 3 egg omlettes could be made with 2 since I know I never am able to finish a 3 egg omlette and the waitress said "not really, they come how they come". I opted for a breakfast sandwich instead, which was delicious, and my husband's eggs and pancake were great, too!Parking: There are about 10 or 12 parking spots. Perfect for a weekday but may be an issue on a busy weekend“

“My husband and I finally got to try Pammy’s Place. He got a plan waffle and I got an Asiago bagel with their homemade spinach artichoke cream cheese. We also both got a London Fog. So good! The staff are friendly, quick service. Very nice atmosphere. We are going to start have breakfast dates on Fridays since he works from home on Fridays. It wasn’t loud, like a lot of small breakfast/lunch places can be, so it was nice to be able to have conversation without having to strain to hear each other. This is the perfect place a little breakfast/lunch date. 10/10 recommend.“

“Excellent coffee and food at this location. Try to acai bowls or egg sandwiches (both delicious).The staff does a great job servicing customers and takes great care in preparing the food. This is my go-to coffee spot in Clinton.Food or coffee can be enjoyed inside or on tables outside.Parking: Free street parking. If you can't find a spot, there is a small parking area behind the hardware store nearby.Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring your child for an Acai bowl?Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs but it may be difficult for those in a wheelchair if parking is unavailable on the street.“

“This little coffee shop is like a taste of California when I visit Northborough. I live in the Bay Area now, and when I visit family in Massachusetts, this is like a fun little oasis of vegan treats, delicious smoothies, excellent coffees, and friendly vibes. There's usually plenty of seating, the servers are always really sweet and kind, and everything I've gotten from there has been tasty.“

“This place is truly amazing. Food is fresh made, baked goods and the coffee and beverages are amazing as well service is phenomenal! We Come almost weekly for our after church lunch with coffee or iced tea which ever we decide to order. Today I got the flamingo refresher it was DELICIOUS!“
