I love this little gem of a cafe! The food is excellent! The service and staff are awesome! And I love the outdoor eating space! Everything at Cafe Chew is amazing!! read more

Pilgrim Sandwich was right out of the Turkey dinner textbook! Greek Yogurt parfait (homemade everything) delish! Service was nice. You order at counter but can get a "reserve tag" for your table. We'll be back! read more

As far as I'm concerned this is a 5 star restaurant. They don't need my 5 star review, but I'll give to them anyway. My wife and I live about 35 miles west of Chew and every chance we get to go to the cape we make it a point to stop for lunch at Chew. It is unique, I think nothing is close to it on the cape. Everything from the homemade pastry's to the created soups , sandwiches and salads are Fantastic. This little cafe is totally organized from the time you walk in the front door, To the time you order, to the time you are seated. It's service with a smile. The ambiance is not pretentious and has a welcoming Cape Cod feel. Do yourself a favor, give it a try you won't be disappointed. Oh, I forgot the the exceptional coffee. read more

Great food but the whole experience is taken away from by styrofoam containers and plastic utensils.

I love this charming place. Great selection of pastries, breakfast items, sandwiches, and salads. I have always found the staff to be friendly as well. I will go back. read more

Really 3.5. Bakery items looked delicious. Our sandwiches were good, but perhaps a bit bland. Nice locale.

So friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent! Had the Cobb salad. Sat outdoors in the garden area. Plenty of gluten free options but they do not have a separate toaster for the bread. read more

Have been going ever since they opened. Consistent! Great coffee, yummy pastries, fabulous place for lunch!

What an awesome place! The vibe is so cool here and has awesome outdoor seating. Me and my hubby came here for breakfast one day and lunch the next. We both had work to do so it was a great place to bring our laptops and notebooks, get work done and eat some good food. Staff is so kind and helpful. This place was clean and the atmosphere here is so cool. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. No complaints. Must visit while in sandwich mass! read more

Chew has become a mainstay for lunches and breakfast sandwiches. The food is always great and the baked goods are so tasty. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. Only complaint is the long line but I guess that's a by product of good food! read more

Had sandwiches that were delicious and big! They were very accommodating with leaving items off or adding more on. I would definitely recommend for a nice informal lunch! read more

Cafe Chew is a delightful place. Delicious coffees, breakfast and lunch items that are so fresh and prepared perfectly every time. You sit and take in the cheerful atmosphere inside or the outside patio. It is a breath of fresh air. Even the music reminds me of a European Cafe. The staff is always friendly. Cafe Chew has a great energy. Do yourself a favor, stop in. Pure enjoyment!! Desert. Items. Yum!! Oh, and the owners...pure class. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots on the Cape! -Haven't had a sandwich I didn't love -Salads are huge (and tasty) -Coffee is great -Seating situation is weird when it gets busy in the summertime...but WORTH IT. read more

I was very excited about Cafe Chew, and stayed excited up until the food arrived. The food was extremely underwhelming to say the least, but I'll get to that later. Cafe Chew was tucked away on another section near the Stop and Shop shopping center, adjacent to other little cute gift shops. The decor and vibe was cute and cozy, and upon our arrival, we were explained how ordering the food and getting a table worked. We first opted for a seat by the window bar indoors, but later the waitress informed us that a table outside had opened up so we took that one instead. You stay in the line to order while the waitress puts a "Reserved, ordering in line" sign on your table. My boyfriend and I ordered the Italian sandwich (because you must have a sandwich in Sandwich, MA right?), a 3 egg omelette with Gruyere cheese (included in the $8.95 price), caramelized onions, broccoli, mushroom ($0.75 each), and chicken-apple sausage ($1.75), with a side of home fries, and 2 iced coffees. The food took a while to come out, which was a bit understandable because it was very busy. When it did come out, the Italian sandwich was all alone on a long plate with lots of empty space. The marinara sauce was splattered messily under the sandwich, and my boyfriend comments, "this sandwich was not made with love." The omelette also looked very small for having 3 eggs, and the mushrooms and broccoli inside the omelette were not cut to bite-size portions (there were 3-inches long pieces of broccoli in it!) The home fries were not crisp at all, and had a soggy feel. We should have stayed at our hotel and ate the free breakfast there instead. read more

Friendly staff, organized seating and ordering (once customer is aware of the process), and most importantly such good food! Outdoor dining is the best; it is so comfortable with chill vibes. Very relaxed atmosphere with upscale food and service. Worth a visit or 20! read more

What a terrific find! I was looking for a casual place to meet an off-cape colleague for breakfast so looking for close to the bridge. Found this little gem through Yelp and I am so glad I did! The inside was adorable - very New England/Cape Cod. The outside patio looked delightful as well. The food selection was innovative and prepared very well. If I lived in Sandwich I would go there every week! As it is, I will make a special journey every now and again. read more

A small wait, but menus were available in line, very helpful people for the first timers! Friendly staff and the owner made my sandwich (didn't know it at the time) wife and I had the San marino (I think) Sami, it was sweet a little spicy (but not hot) . Very good and not typical flavors. This place is a little like panera, but local with more flavorful food and super helpful staff that like their job! Will go again the next time on the Cape, it was a nice find. read more

So delicious! I have never had a bad meal here, I wish they were open for dinner! Everyone I'd really fresh, they have an amazing selection and you can eat outside. read more

This place is packed to the brim when it's open, and for good reason! Although the line can get extremely long, the staff are very friendly and address everyone in line promptly. We were seated before we ordered and our food came surprisingly fast! The portions are generous and the food is amazing. If you're passing through Sandwich, I'd recommend you check out Café Chew! read more

Outstanding! Tobin and crew always nail it! Never a bad meal (even if you have to wait in line, folks - do not be discouraged!) Coffee is strong and hot, sandwiches are delicious and on thick homemade bread and the desserts (cookies, brownies) are homemade and worth evey calorie. Go! read more

Nothing like a place that has doors opened to outside. Rustic and awesome service. Can't go wrong with the food here.

Loved this spot! Hubby and I were looking for a nice breakfast spot coming home from the cape and this came up in my Yelp search. We sat outside and had an amazing breakfast before getting back on the road. A must stop going forward for us. read more

How wow was this joint bustling on a Monday afternoon. On our sad goodbye leaving the Cape, my sister and I returned about 80 beers cans and took the cash to get some food here for the ride home. They have tons of outdoor tables w umbrellas so its a cute atmosphere. I seriously could not believe how crowded it was for a Monday and it took about 15 mins to get our food--not bad at all. I think I ordered the Dutchman panini? It was chicken w bacon and tomato bruchetta, my sister had some onion chicken cheese thing. Comes w pickle and bag of chips for 9$, I guess pretty average and for a fresh sandwich with reallyyyy fresh and organic type fillings, worth it. I would come and check it again when I'm back up at the summer house fo sho, and already recommended it to family to check out read more

Nice spot and many more unique tasty options. Good coffee. Service was friendly and helpful. Breakfast sandwich was a little simpler than anticipated, but was still something different and easily beats a fast food breakfast sandwich. read more

The Cafe Chew was one of the best sandwich shops I've been to in a long time. They have gluten free bread to toast, but it is not celiac friends. When you walk in, grab a table before you order. This was stated by the poor teenager at the door at least 5 times while I was in line. The line moves quickly and the service is fast to the table. My salad was huge definitely big enough to share. My friend wasn't truly happy with his sandwich, not a lot of salmon and he suspected it was farm raised but he said it was mewh ok. But this is not his review. The others around me were commenting on the quality and quantity so my friend was the anomaly. It gets crowded and look can be deceiving, if not for Yelp I would have past this place right by and not looked back. Thank you Yelp friends. You all came through for me again. read more

People: 4 friends visiting from Baltimore Situation: Lunch after a weekend on the Cape and Martha's Vineyard Noted choices: The Forager, Pastrami special, Ham and Gruyere Forager-- perfect end to a long weekend of stuffing my face. Balsamic vinaigrette perfect touch to a beautiful marriage of veggie flavors. Pastrami special-- delectable. Ham and Gruyere-- rich, warm, and just a delight. Service: fast, friendly, and very informative. The owner makes you feel right at home. Notes: if you're trying to get off the Cape on Sunday, it might not be the greatest location, as you have to wade through TERRIBLE traffic to get to the bridge. read more

Wow. That's what I can say right now. My fingers don't want to be on my phone at the moment...but on another beautifully handcrafted sandwich. I tried one of the specials, the Smoky Dutchman, and I do not regret one bite. Except of course the last bite which I should have savored longer. This place is packed- indoor seating and out, and yet the service is so speedy! My sandwich was delicious as was the coffee I had with it. So the Smoky Dutchman: turkey, Gouda, bacon, herb mayo, lettuce, tomato- on a Bavarian pretzel roll. A-ma-zing. Definitely coming back here. They've also got a friendly and helpful staff! read more

Delicious. Sandwich perfection. Had the Bavarian and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. The menu is really creative, the staff super friendly and helpful. The coffee and sugar cookie was fabulous too. Plus the decor was very "vintage, rustic cape cottage" without being cheesy or kitschy. Great stop for tourists or anyone looking for gourmet food in a casual, inexpensive atmosphere. read more

Always consistently a great spot for lunch when we visit the area. Today my hubs and I had the chili special which came with a corn muffin all for $7.95. Delicious and a bonus for me....I am taking half home for lunch tomorrow. Fun decor. Best anytime but come warmer weather outside dining options expand their seating. Friendly staff. Sandwich Boardwalk is nearby so make this and Cafe Chew a nice little day trip. read more

Found this on Yelp and man were we glad. EVERYTHING about this place is amazing. Food was delicious and fresh. The staff couldn't be more friendly!

Great service very friendly staff. I had the Cobb salad and the dressing was amazing. Soup... yummmy and let's just say the cookies were the best I've had in a very very long time! We sat outside and it was perfectly shaded on a nice hot day. read more

First time here since the pandemic. Food is still fabulous! We ordered Alsatian sandwich and Cape Cobb Salad. The the food is fresh,and flavor is rich. Definitely highly recommended! read more

Stopped here on our drive back home on a holiday weekend and boy was it a treat! INSANELY responsive to COVID regulations (clear one-way foot traffic markings, 6-foot spacers throughout, all staff wearing masks and gloves, and an employee working as a bathroom attendant since it was such a high traffic day) and even better food! I thoroughly enjoyed the Midwestern sandwich, and have adjusted my upcoming travel plans to account for lunch here! read more

Fresh food, served up quickly and with a big smile. The folks here really do a great job. I love the croutons served with soup instead of crackers. The Mushroom Barley soup is fantastic. I particularly enjoyed a special they had there; Auntie Frenchy's Meatloaf. Fabelhaft! I have been here for breakfast, lunch and 1 time for dinner. Consistently great food and service. read more

Cafe Chew - The California BLT - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sandwich, Massachusetts

I love everything about this place. The staff are friendly, even at their busiest times. I came up to visit the cape and was looking for a brunch place with my girlfriends ands tumbled upon this. I was fascinated by how you can order your food, let them know where you are sitting and then they will bring out the food to your table. I ordered the smoked salmon bagel and was in heaven. It was served with tomatoes, onions, smoked salmon, a bagel, capers, and their special made cream cheese. They also have great tea options. Will definitely stop by for brunch when I visit the Cape again. read more

So good!! My family and boyfriend decided to have breakfast at this cafe in Sandwich while we were camping at Shawme-Crowell State Forest close by, and we were so pleased! We walked in and were greeted by a friendly man, presumably the owner, letting us know how the restaurant worked, which was to order your food and they bring the food to you. My mom and I ordered delicious & organic steel cut oats with strawberries, walnuts and raisins! My boyfriend ordered French Toast and my brother ordered pancakes. Everything was beyond fantastic. The cafe was very cute and everyone was friendly. It is a perfect cafe for a quick breakfast or lunch! read more

I ate the Smokey Dutchman, and the pretzel roll bun was delicious! As was the Gouda! The service was fantastic! The only downside was the every time the door opened the wind blew into the restaurant so hard that the plates were blown off the table next to the door (our table). read more

My food was disgusting and soggy I got a breakfast sandwich the egg was very overcooked and they added way to much garlic powder.
