Sweet cafe with delicious sandwiches. Lots of locals looked like they were there on a chilly March morning. Easy parking.

Casual bistro atmosphere- antique signs and deco , varnished tables, busy but orderly setup. tables for 2-4 people - light streaming in during breakfast . Fantastic menu choices and specials on blackboard . I chose to create an omelette with extra veggies. - egg folded just right around the sautéed fresh ingredients . Good WIFI and smiling servers who deliver your meal to table after you order at counter . I'm will go again for sure . read more

Ordered an iced latte and saw the "espresso" taken out of a big old pitcher in the fridge and measured out in shot glasses. It tasted atrocious and burnt and for $5+ it should be freshly made. read more

Very nice spot. We arrived on a Thursday morning and there was already quite a crowd. We waited in line to order and they had a bunch of tables out front that were all full, but we could see through the back door of the cafe that there were more tables out back. We ordered our breakfasts and coffees, they asked where we planned to sit so they would know which area to deliver our breakfasts. They had a station to fix your coffee and I quickly realized this was some strong coffee... I needed plenty of milk to lighten it up!! We were able to find some empty Adirondack chairs to sit at and a few minutes later someone came out calling my name that our breakfasts were here. We both enjoyed our breakfasts and we loved how pretty it was sitting out back there! We would stop there again if we were in the area. read more

I generally don't give five stars to a restaurant on the first try, but I'll give them 4.5. The sausage soup was it's very good, and the toffee chocolate chip cook was excellent. One of the best cookies I've had in a long long time. Service was excellent too. Prices were reasonable. I'll be back! read more

Very welcoming environment. You check-in and indicate if you're dining-in or getting takeout. I sampled The Hippie breakfast wrap, The Canadian sandwich, and a cranberry muffin. Everything tasted very fresh. The coffee was terrific. There's a lovely patio on which to enjoy your meal and the staff was incredibly friendly. read more

Sent by a local, I appreciated Cafe Chew's long list of great sandwiches. The Portofino was an adult grilled cheese on grilled bread w/ fig jam. A winner. Toffee choco chip cookie was delicious too. Busy and cool spot. read more

This place probably has the best sandwiches in Sandwich town. They have specials on the board and not online, like lobster roll and "bahí mi". Their lobster roll is pretty fresh with good bread. For bahí mi, I would suggest them calling it something else, because it's actually pretty good as sandwich but not close to actual bahí mi, maybe called something Asian Fusion Roasted pork sandwich etc. They have a very cute backyard for seating. Lines get long, but you can go ahead to ask to reserve a table before waiting in line. We ordered almond latte and caramel iced latte, both are delicious. read more

Cafe Chew - Lobster roll - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sandwich, Massachusetts

This is the best breakfast/lunch Cafe period. If you are having a breakfast pastry, pancakes or eggs, a yogurt parfait or just delicious coffee, you are in the right place. The sandwiches choices and combos are perfectly made and are packaged superbly for the beach with Cape Cod chips & a dill pickle spear. The bragging about the Chew's lobster roll is justified with 6oz. of meat with a little mayo on brioche is the best deal on the Cape @ $27! It all starts at the top, Tobin & Bob the couple that own Cafe Chew are hard working congenial hosts that trickles down to their energetic staff that enjoy working for them. If you like fresh roasted meats, non packaged bread and even a choice of cane sugar soft drinks go to Cafe Chew. Oh, people wait for them to come out of the oven is the famous Jordan Marsh recipe blueberry muffins, delicious and not too sweet. read more

Loved the takeout sandwiches again. Hubby had hummus tabouli wrap, I had meeting house melt of roast beef and cheese. My chocolate dipped macaroon tasted good but was softer than what I'm used to. read more

Portions were not a great size for the price. The food was good but I'm not leaving dying to come back. To be fair I have pretty restricted diet atm and I didn't find much to select from. The staff was ok but not exceptionally friendly which may be a cape thing east coast thing but coming from the west coast I wasn't impressed. read more

Cafe Chew is everything you could want in a lunch spot by the beach after having seafood for 5 straight meals. They offer an array of deli sandwiches, specials that change daily, soups, salads, and a full coffee bar. We opted for the Bahn Mi (special) and the the tabouli plate with Tuscan veggie soup. While most reviewers touted the typical sandwiches we wanted to test the international waters and found them to have done their research to avoid the typical Americanization mistakes on these classic dishes. The care and effort on the nuances of these three very different dishes speak to the nature of the establishment and the owners. They are doing things right or not at all and that's impressive in a town where you find seafood, pub, and dive joints. The process overall can be a little chaotic in that you get an assigned table, order, then sit; but in the end we were treated to a meal that was executed perfectly for a great value and served by friendly people. Will return on next trip to the cape. read more

My favorite spot for lunch during the winter when we drive our daughter to school on Cape. It has such a family Cape Cod feel with amazing ingredients! I always get the reuben or whatever soup they have on tap is always delicious! If you are heading down Cape take a minute to stop at Cafe Chew! You will feel like you landed on the Cape with excellent offerings great price awesome quality. read more

We were visiting Cape Cod for the week, and Cafe Chew was on our list of places to try out. I'm so glad we did! Upon arriving, we hopped in a short line that moved pretty quickly in order to place our order at the counter. We easily found seating outdoors at a patio table, and our food was delivered promptly. I had the Smoky Dutchman, and it was excellent! The sandwich was actually pretty big, it had a generous portion of turkey on it, the pretzel roll was very flavorful, and the herbed mayo really tied it all together. My husband ordered the Pilgrim, and he graciously agreed to trade a half of his sandwich for a half of mine. It's hard for me to pass up a Thanksgiving style sandwich, and this one was every bit as good as I hoped. It's hard to beat putting stuffing on a sandwich, and the cranberry pecan bread was super tasty! We will definitely return when we vacation here next summer! read more

Just stopped in with my boyfriend for a quick breakfast before we hit the road back home. He got the Italian Breakfast Sandwich and I got the French Breakfast sandwich. We placed our order to go and we not waiting long. They were both absolutely incredible. So fresh, toasted to perfection and with such fluffy eggs. We will be returning anytime we are in the area again. read more

Still just as delicious as when they first opened. Cafe Chew is a gem in Sandwich. I do enjoy the atmosphere, but tend to do more takeout when we come here. Their breakfast sandwiches are awesome. Our favorite is the New Orleans, which has andouille breakfast sausage & spicy mayo. The Cody Chew and the German are also delicious! read more

Bustling soup and sandwich shop with lovely outdoor seating spaces. Food excellent and made with care. We had a wait to get our meal but that was due to the many patrons. The perfect spot to savor a relaxed meal and enjoy the sun on a fall afternoon! read more

It might take a few times around the block to find this place if, like us, you're not from the area, but I'm glad we found it! We got a couple of salads and they were incredible. First of all, they're absolutely enormous. 1 can easily feed 2. Second, super, super fresh! The greens are amazing! My only small complaint would be I added grilled chicken to one of them and for $5, it's a pretty small portion...3oz on its best day would be my guess so maybe skip that. It's not needed anyway. Sandwiches looked great too! That'll be the next thing I try! read more

We love Chew!!! We come here at least once a summer (not 2020, unfortunately) and are always very happy with our meals and the service. This was our first time coming for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Huge portions and lots of flavor. I don't love that everything was in to-go containers (styrofoam!!), but I'm sure it's a covid issue. I love the new patio out back. The grassy area was nice, but now it feels more "put together." If you're in the area, go here!!! read more

Did you read Mark C's review? He's reviewing the wrong place! Cafe Chew is in an old building but was never a gas station. Probably an old house (there's an apartment upstairs I think). Lovely outside patios in nice weather. Rustic interior. Baked goods to die for. read more

Stoped in for a quick coffee and muffin. Lemon Poppy Seed. Was absolutely delicious, moist and perfectly cooked. Service was quick for an extremely busy morning! Will be back to try out more offerings for sure! read more

Very nice cafe. We were seated quickly by a very friendly young man. I had a Portuguese/kale soup and half of a chicken salad sandwich. There are so many things I want to try here. Everyone was very friendly and the food was good. Soooo many flies but I guess that cant be helped this time of year. read more

This is a late review forl July 2022. Perhaps we came on an off day. We had to wait to order, and had to stand out in the heat while waiting to do so. After finally ordering, we did secure a table outside, also a long wait to be served. Food was good, but not exceptional for the price. It was unusual to pay extra for genuine maple syrup, which we have never encountered elsewhere. Would maybe consider ordering takeout lunch next time. read more

There is a reason this place has great reviews! It's fantastic! Between the great pastries, awesome coffee, incredible salads, and outstanding sandwich offerings, you can bet everyone in your party will be happy. I have been to this place many, many times over the years, and it has always been top-notch. read more

Quality food. Great menu variety. Owner present. Well staffed. A recipe for a line out the door in high season but take out is quick and there are many picnic spots nearby. read more

For the love of god, this place has GOT to get another bathroom. The long line waiting for the single stall, which is located in the kitchen, is disgusting and frustrating. It also gives an unwanted view of the lackluster staff hand washing and lack of hairnets or masks. The food is ok. read more

Great location with lovely aesthetics. My food was good. My friend had the pancakes which were delicious. I would visit again and try something different. read more

Having heard how busy this place can get, we waited until tourist season was over before stopping by. We also ended up arriving after the lunch rush was over - some time between 1:30 and 2:00 - and that also worked in our favor. There was a significant line of people waiting to be seated indoors, but one staff member kept triaging the line to keep it moving. I ended up waiting longer for our sandwiches to be made than I did waiting to order. What awaited me was a near-perfect Grilled Reuben sandwich - equal parts messy and delicious - while my wife had the "Smoky Dutchman", with smoked turkey, smoked gouda and bacon. It's just far enough out of the way from Centerville to require a special trip, but also good enough to find a reason to do so. In other words, we'll be back! read more

Always a favorite when in town. Kind servers and the young man who attends to seating was attentive and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. There are many interesting choices. read more

I rarely comment on yelp but I just had to share how great I felt this spot is! We stopped on our way to our vacation rental and our way back home at the end of our vacation. They are very organized and kept the line moving to order food while they also reserve a table so when your food is ready you will have a place to sit. The food was outstanding, we ordered omelets, pancakes and the salmon platter and all were so fantastic! I highly recommend this place for the food but also excellent service! read more

PAAAAAAACKED! I'll bet you'll be thinking it; hell, you might even gasp it aloud. Point is: Cafe Chew has designed a service system that flourishes when busy. Which they always are. Jump in the line (rock your body in time, OKAY I BELIEVE YOU), and grab a menu while in the final stretch. Oops, did you forget to claim a table and drop a provided reserved tent (signs specifically say "table held while we wait in line")? Divide and conquer with your dining buddy. Cold sandwiches come out fast, while panini come out just slightly less fast - this place is quick with the business, trust me. I got the European: a dry and cold pretzel roll loaded, and I mean loaded, with ham, Italian salami, goat cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, a sweet-over-smokey roasted red pepper spread and olive tapenade. Lots of seasoning, and good flavor, but even with all that meat, the bun overwhelmed the sandwich. Still, very tasty. Comes with Cape Cod cheeeeee-ips (natch) and big honkin' pickle. Stole a few remnants of the kids grilled cheddar on brioche, and again, it was thick with the cheddah, kehd. Loads of patio seating (2:1 over inside), and the staff is proficient while keeping the friendliness 100. Would definitely return to hit up more of the specialty sandwiches, or to spend more time at the cafe side - the pastries looked ridiculous! read more

Cute little spot that we always stop by on the way to Sandy Neck. Their sandwiches are always good, as well as their coffee and pastries. The pastrami is delicious! Sometimes there can be quite a line, but there are cute shops next door until they call your order. read more

What a find! A welcome change from fried fish. We wanted a sandwich in Sandwich but ended up ordering the Cape Cobb and Popeye salads. They were huge and delicious. The hostess was kind to reserve us a table out back while we were in line to order. They have a kids menu from which our son ordered a simple sandwich to his liking. There are even more appealing specials listed plus tempting bakery items. Wish we were local to come more often. read more

Solid 4.5 We had breakfast. We stood in line to order while the host showed us a table he for us. Our meal was brought to us in cardboard to go boxes. We had multigrain pancakes, eggs, apple chicken sausage, Canadian bacon and mutigrain toast. All done correctly and tasty. The side fruit was a treat with fresh bananas, melon, pineapple. And mandarin oranges. We'd return. read more
