It's a cute cafe with nice outdoor seating and the food is good, but the service isn't great. I felt super rushed when ordering despite being the only person in line the morning I was there. The girl who took my order didn't really give us a chance to look at the menu, stared, and rushed me when I was speaking which threw me off a bit. They also serve you through a window (looks like a makeshift drive-thru, or "walk-thru") which is cool, but I noticed the same girl was getting easily annoyed when customers weren't quick to receive their order. She also made my coffee in a unique way which really surprised me. They have a giant jug of iced coffee that they keep in the bottom cabinet, instead of having drip or brew. The coffee itself was pretty decent, though. My ham and cheese crepe was okay but there was not enough ham or cheese, it was mostly just egg. My friend's portion was also small but the food was good. I think I would give it another shot. read more

Just had lunch at the Bellmont Caffe and wow was the food ever delicious. My sandwich was absolutely delicious and the service beyond excellent. The proprietor made a special nut free croissant sandwich made with love and feta for a family member. The garden seating area was beautiful with cool shade and flowers. We had a very relaxing lunch. Will definitely visit again. read more

Slow down and stay a while, the Bellmont Cafe is the perfect spot for a fantastic cup of coffee (Americano for me) with a bacon and egg Croissant sandwich. What a wonderful gem in downtown Belmont to take a break from your busy day and enjoy fantastic food. The owner will greet you with a smile while he and his staff rush to prepare your order. Take a seat in the intimate dining area that the locals know so well. This is definitely a spot you don't want to miss. We will be back as often as we can. read more

Great service, decent diner vibe and the food really good. I had scrambled eggs with cornbeef.

This place tricks you a bit. As someone mentioned in a previous review there are no prices listed on the menu. So, I took a chance anyway and ordered a Belgium waffle. The lady asked me what I wanted on it, and when I asked what it comes with she said well fruit or whip cream, but they cost extra. I was confused as the menu lists the waffle in different forms that included things..."belgium waffle with whip cream", "belgium waffle with nutella". When I showed her the menu and these different forms, she said it's extra. So I told her I didn't need anything if it was extra. She said oh...I could give you whip cream. So I thought she was being nice and wasn't going to up-charge for it. When I looked at the screen in front of me it read "whip cream: $0.50". When I said, "oh, am I being charged for it?" she didn't really answer. I didn't make a stink cuz it's $0.50 but yikes? The principal... Anyway the waffle was ok..a little undercooked in the middle and kinda small. The latte was ok too. I got a pumpkin spice in honor of fall being around the corner and to be honest I've had better tasting pumpkin lattes. Wouldn't rush back here but if I was in the area, I'd give it another shot. read more

The Bellmont Caffe is like the "Cheers" of cafe's, the owner never forgets your name and you're always glad you came! The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is excellent and the prices are extremely fair. The Chai Latte is brewed on the premises and is the best I've ever had. They offer many options for avocado toast, all of which are delicious. I highly recommend Bellmont Caffe! read more

Hmmm. A 3.5 I was disappointed in the breakfast. But, the coffee is always good. Outdoor seating is a plus, fairly quiet neighborhood. Thank you! Denise P Cambridge read more

Such a nice cafe with amazing pastries. It is so clean and relaxing. Very affordable and good vibes.

Cute local cafe in Belmont. The crepes were perfectly thin and flavorful. My friend and I ordered the smoked salmon crepe with ricotta and capers. We also got cappuccino and hot tea- both were incredible. Overall great portion size for the price and perfectly fresh food. Service was a little slow which may be due to covid or the fact that there was only one person behind the counter when we went. Even though there was only one person prepping and serving, the food was exquisite and made with care! Would love to go back and try other things from the menu. Wish they offered delivery.... read more

THERE ARE NO PRICES LISTED ANYWHERE AT THIS RESTAURANT. Not on the website. Not on the menu. I found this bizarre. Do the prices change that frequently? I doubt I'm the only person who wants to know how much things cost before going to a business. That was enough to turn me off, and I wouldn't have bothered going at all except my friend wanted to meet here. I ordered: Veggie omelette = $9.99 Latte = $4.99 Food was fine. As someone who works in the industry, I am perhaps more of a stickler for small details than the average yelper. Serving a drink in a cracked glass? Definite industry no-no. Person behind the counter was super slow and proceeded to clean plates rather than attend to the guest waiting at the counter. I was unimpressed. read more

Food was excellent service great The veggie omelette was great folks were great I enjoyed the place

Popped in very quick for a coffee. Ordered a medium Hot coffee with light cream and not at all what I was given. I'm not sure if it's coffee with steamed milk or just a straight up latte ? But either way it's 90% cream and I can't taste any coffee. Kind of a huge bummer, but the gentleman working behind the counter was so nice. I'll probably give it one more try in the future. Pastries looked delicious as I walked by. Definitely want to try and support this local business ! Perhaps, I need to order a hot coffee in a different way or perhaps there is no "regular" hot coffee at this caffe ? Who knows ! read more

I hate to write bad reviews but this place could be so cool, there is a fantastic outdoor patio and it is right in Belmont Center! But wow, first off, weird, frankly awful, pop music blaring outside. Who would want to listen to such bad music while they are eating lunch, what owner would think this is a good idea? Second, the food, the "crepe" was a wrap for like sandwich not a crepe and utterly tasteless, but the worst, the "waffle" was some odd, I think it must have been frozen, thing that was chewy and doughy, just plain weird...the server had no idea what a red eye was and, as people noted, NO PRICES, the server even had no idea what things cost...for a small lunch some juice a coffee and 15% tip $57...yeesh. I don't understand how this place can survive, the place right across the street was much more crowded than this place, in hindsight a clear hint. read more

My crepe and coffee were good but no refill. I did not know Jimmy Carter ate crepes. Loved the town history on the wall. Nice calm Sunday morning meal. read more

I visited Bellmont Cafe yesterday, with a friend and ordered the avocado and turkey panini; however after, I realized it did not contain any avocado; think the wait staff was not fully attentive in the panini presentation and only one paper thin slice of turkey in the sandwich!!!! . I have been there many times before and never an issue except for the pricing and panini was not as described; no pricing on the menus is a huge deterrent. Our bill for salad and dry panini with coffee was $30.00+ which was a surprise for our light lunch. Not sure if I will return as staff was a bit "off the mark" and no pricing on menus is not acceptable. read more

Nice coffee shop in the heart of Belmont. Selection of avocado toast, crepes and pastries, so good for breakfast. Loving the rock music in the background - at first it felt awkward in the little cozy space, but it is upbeat and not loud at all. We'll be back ... read more

Summary: The owner is doing a nice job of offering coffees and teas and enhancing the menu with middle eastern options. Furthermore the outdoor seating is cozy. I've had their ice teas - eg Moroccan mint ice tea - which are yummy. They also have a hot apple cinnamon drink there now which can hit the spot on cool days. Today I had their falafel wrap (falafel hand made but not on location) which was very tasty. They grill the wrap which I like. I plan to go back to have more. I also want to ask the owner to be my World Cup hub when it comes around again. Seems the perfect place. read more

My wife and I come here every few weeks when we are in Boston. The food is always amazing, the staff are always friendly, and the atmosphere is always relaxing. The owner goes out of his way to make you feel at home. If you haven't experienced the Bellmont Caffe, you are missing out on a true gem in the heart of Belmont. read more

It was a nice sunny day and the place offers a nice patio with cute tables. I was welcomed by a nice and smiling young lady who offered me the menu where I found a couple of vegetarian items for my lunch. What really ruined my visit was the way the manager ordered and yelled at the same young woman who took my order. She was tasked to sweep the floor and he was sitting at one of the table with his phone chatting with a woman. He barked at her that she was doing it the "lazy" way and wanted her to move chairs. I looked down at the floor and it looked pretty clean to me with maybe a few spots to sweep. Clearly there was a better when than being so abusive. As a manager myself I treat my team with respect and my feedback when work needs improvement is constructive. Yelling and criticism is the worst approach to get the best of people. It can only go down from there. You show by example and you praise people for the good work while calling on what needs to get better. Also humiliating people in public is very counter productive. Looking further into the matter I hear that this manager has a habit to yell at his staff. I ordered a vegetarian shawarma wrap which was nicely grilled but not with as much hummus as I was hoping for. A bit salty too which called for a lot of drinking water later. I must have waited about 15 minutes which was ok because I was not in a rush. I noticed a help wanted post and my guess in the place in understaffed like many. There was maybe 4 or 5 sets of customers. read more

Came here for a late lunch today. You order inside and then sit where you'd like. We chose to eat outside and got our sandwiches within 10 mins of ordering. Great food for a very reasonable price! FOOD Pleasant St Panini: 4/5 The chicken and pesto were fresh and the bread was toasted to perfection. I didn't really enjoy the brie inside though - found it a little overpowering for the sandwich. Cuban Reuben: 5/5 This was amazing! I generally don't like reubens, but this was really special. Best Reuben I've had! It was just the right amount of salty and sour, and I really appreciated that the bread was toasted. AMBIENCE: 4/5 Limited seating, so good for meeting a friend or a small group (max 4 people). I really like the tables outside - especially since they've got huge umbrellas to block the sun. A bit difficult to understand the menus, but they have print out ones to read which are better. MUST ORDER: Cuban Reuben read more

Food is ok and pricey. Cost of a regular coffee is higher than any other place around and definitely not worth it. limited seating.

Great service! Great food and very cute!! Rachid to every customer made them so welcome and such a positive attitude!!! 11/10 would recommend!!! Get the spinach feta croissant. Drool!!! So delicious read more

What a terrible place. The kid working the counter may be The Boston areas number 1 worst customer service person. Why do you keep a high school kid that doesn't want to be there. He can't even manage to give people a glass for a bottle of water that was purchased. He knows nothing about the menu. Get your act together there's a reason your place is so empty these days. The food was terrible too matches the customer service so at least there is consistency read more

Cute cafe, great outdoor seating, friendly service with decent espresso but this place was let down badly by the avocado toast I ordered. The toast was actually cold and very dry, think crispbread rather than "toast" and there was a pretty thin layer of avocado which was unfortunately sprinkled with chili (no, the chili wasn't listed on the menu). it was worth a try but overall, disappointing read more

Came here on a whim and loved it! The food was incredible, fairly priced, and a portion that wouldn't leave you stuffed. The food has a decidedly European flair to it with crepes, artisan waffles, and sandwiches. For breakfast, I can't recommend the crepes enough. Full of flavor and fresh fruits, especially delightful when you add in the Nutella.... Only downside is the size. The cafe can probably only sit 15-20 people though their outside space easily doubles that amount. Expect a line as they're quite popular and if they don't have a seat, you can always take the food to go. read more

This place is great. We go often for breakfast. Everything is delicious and they have fresh Montreal bagels.

When the owner is there everything works like clock work. I really enjoy his sense of humor too. My absolute favorite is their mushroom and swiss cheese crepe. They use a variety of mushrooms so every bite is just a bit different. For mushroom lovers it is a must. read more

A hidden gem for those with celiac disease. Extreme care was taken to make sure that my breakfast sandwich was prepared without any cross contamination and they were even kind enough to explain to me exactly how they were going to take precautions. I'm extremely sensitive and did not get sick at all, plus it was delicious :) They were incredibly kind and the atmosphere was so peaceful. With the Lavazza coffee, I could almost imagine that I was living the cafe life in Italy. read more

Visited for first time today and had a latte macchiato. I am not a huge coffee aficionado / lover and don't like bitter coffee, which many places serve. The latte macchiato was tasty and service was good. The food menu looked good for breakfasts and lunches. Would definitely come back here to try the food. read more

I was very upset today to see that the cook at Bellmont Caffe was making food without wearing a mask. I was also there on a day when it rained and the small indoor cafe area was completely full with no customers wearing masks. To make things even worse, there was a Belmont police officer having a friendly chat with the owner and the woman while she was cooking food without a mask. Beware! Do your part to stop the spread! read more

Great atmosphere, crepe, and chai latte. Coffee latte was less stellar which is why I took away one star, but overall, I love this place!

Daylight savings found me up early and with no coffee!! Thank goodness a quick google search lead me to the Bellmont Caffe which opens its doors at 6am! I was amazed by all the offerings in this cute shop! The owner, Rachid, was a delight and my soy cappuccino was 10/10. A great homey vibe inside with a huge menu selection and phenomenal service. Definitely my new go-to in town! read more

The food is excellent and the service good but the acoustics of the room is harsh and noisy. I suggest some acoustic tile on walls and ceiling. read more

Horrible. Went in for a quick lunch. Waited forever. Asked for water. Got a plastic cup half full of warm tap water. Asked about food. Printer crashed so order did not go through. After 15 minute wait got greasy, undercooked omelet loaded with onions after requesting no onions, soggy toast. Left it on plate and walked out. read more

I was so happy to take my mother out to lunch, in Belmont Center. I've been to all the local restaurants, in town, and never got to try your establishment, until yesterday. We were so excited to order the jimmy carter crepes, a cross street sandwich to go, for my husband, and an iced coffee, and blueberry muffin. The employee was really amazing and kind. We placed our order and took an inside table. Our lunch was served to us. The crepes were so dry and shall I say empty with ingredients. We were so disappointed. I didn't even know if there was any ricotta. We didn't say a word as the cook was extremely busy and I wonder if the employee was trained correctly in making these crepes. The iced coffee was very good. The blueberry muffin was fine. My husband couldn't believe the bland taste and lack of ingredients in his panini. He added to it with what we had at home to create what a sandwich should taste like. I cannot fault the employees. They were doing what they were trained to do. I spent $42. And 3 of us were so disappointed. read more

My FAVORITE place to have a peaceful and delicious breakfast. Beautiful outdoor patio, freshly prepared eggs on buttery croissants, and a charming owner who is incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and funny. I'm disappointed to see people saying that they support small businesses but that Starbucks never has time limits or limits wifi. After an incredibly challenging year, of course small businesses need customer turnover to make up for lost business during covid. If you support small business, that includes recognizing that they need some understanding during this time. Telling all your friends that you were kicked out is the opposite of supporting small business when they need our dollars and well wishes the most! read more

Bellmont Caffe is a terrific place for breakfast and lunch. Their gluten free choices are great. I'm so pleased to have somewhere I can get a gluten free breakfast sandwich or a great lunch.

Iced coffee is delicious. read more
