Super friendly service, great food, good prices. East parking too. I was very grateful that they brewed me a pot of decaf coffee. I guess it's not a popular thing, but I went away a happy camper. read more

Located directly across the street from the hotel perfect place to go for breakfast and lunch. Their menu was really inviting. An accommodating service was nice quick and easy definitely like the setting of this café. My spinach with eggs and avocado was super healthy. Definitely enjoyed my morning experience here. Definitely recommend. read more

Great Coffee. Better than most coffee shops Pancakes and French toast were also good

Cute little corner cafe that serves standard breakfast fares and coffee at reasonable price.

The Charlie hit perfect - had it on tater tots! Service was fast, customized to everything we asked for. Right after first good snowfall of the year. Breakfast sandwich was impeccable; hot tea selection was excellent and offered the non-coffee crowd a great hot drink option. This is the spot for, quick, delicious breakfast, brunch or lunch! read more

Omelette had the wrong ingredients and was way over cooked. The only option to put on toast was grape jam and I am not a big fan listening to music that is thumping, dropping in f-bombs and loud. After spending almost $20 on a pretty awful meal, I asked for a cup of water. The server grudgingly gave me a lukewarm tap water. Pretty poor showing. On the positive, place is clean. read more

A tasty and perfectly-sized lunch! I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap through door dash and it was made promptly. The fillings were well balanced and the packaging was minimal and efficient (which I really appreciated from a trash perspective!) I would order from Corner Cafe again :) read more

I visit Newton a couple times a year for work, and one of the highlights of staying around here is going to Corner Cafe. I love how it's a cozy, old school, no-frills type of family run casual restaurant with a local vibe. The food is really fresh and delicious too! I've tried breakfast and lunch here. Love the souvlaki! Everyone who works here is friendly. It's cash only but I ordered pickup through Doordash to use my card. Menu is really extensive for a small place, and the prices are very good too for Boston. I highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff. Decent amount of seating. Plenty of food options on the menu. I got a breakfast bowl and was able to substitute bacon for my sausage. Food was good. It is a cash only inside spot, though I was told you can use your card if you pay online. The coffee selection is pretty basic and alternative milks are not listed on the menu. All in all a decent spot to patron if you're looking to support local and don't mind limited coffee selections. read more

This place has grown into a cute, reliable, tasty start to my day! Very convenient in Newton corner, expanding hours, looking for help, aren't we all? Wonderful breakfast and lunch options, even for the vegetarian. Sean is a great man, and he has a beautiful family. Please check them out! A nice comfortable space to enjoy spring eating! read more

Xlent! Truly a cash ONLY cafe with mom 'n pop cookin' it. Quaint...right out of Santorini ... Greek specialties over the top ...SOUPS delicious. American diner comfort food done without 'pretense' and price. Yeah, yeah, yeah...looks like a hole in the wall but once you venture into a meal you'll be a regular. Regardless of the cash ONLY restriction. read more

Awesome chicken salad sandwich for lunch super friendly super clean friendly staff parking is difficult sometimes but worth it

Great food and friendly service. They care about their customers enjoying the experience.

Always the best food and service. Thank you letting me call ahead for an ear in order as I was starving. You just care about your customers and it's really clear read more

Do yourself a favor and go have breakfast at the Corner Cafe! Everything was perfect but service was top notch! I order the 2x2x2 and was great! Fluffy pancakes and perfect over easy eggs with crunchy, on point back! Mike remind you that this gem is cash only and Christian cooks everything deliciously! Coffe makes also a difference! Thank you! read more

Corner Cafe Newton - 2x2x2 with bacon and sunny side eggs - Cafes Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

We recently did a job with our construction crew in Newton and came here every chance we could. The whole crew love the food. The people who work here are great and the food is always delicious. The hungry man breakfast is my favorite the pancakes are always fluffy and the bacon is always crispy. It's cash only but that's just fine with me and there is an ATM right inside. read more

$CASH ONLY$ I came in while I was waiting for my car to be serviced thinking I'd grab a quick bite. It's your classic corner cafe with beverages in fridges, a hand written menu for breakfast / lunch, and a good amount of seating ( 3 big tables & 2 smaller ones with 16 chairs). The people working were friendly and clearly recognize their regulars. There's an atm inside since it's cash only. I ordered an Italian which I'm hesitant to do at most places but they made it perfect. Great portions - they gave me a to go box for the other half. I'd recommend it if you're in the area. read more

‍ What can I say? I feel like I set myself up for failure this morning when I walked into the Corner Cafe for my usual ice coffee that I never have to explain how to make because the team actually are so patient with me sometimes I get mad hearing my own self order. Today, I thought maybe I will throw them off a little and order something different and also order something that I love so much if any thing on it is wrong it's all over for me. Well my steak and cheese sub was made exactly the way I wanted it. What I didn't expect, was that it would be so beyond this World amazing. I am starting to depress myself having so many great things to say about one establishment. My friends do not even know who I am anymore!!!. I'm starting to guess about that myself. Guess that will happen to you when you find what you've been searching for. Cozy, comfy, friendly, family-style restaurant called the corner Café. Check them out tell them Sophia sent you. read more

Corner Cafe Newton - Roast beef on rye - Cafes Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Such a gem in the neighborhood for a weekend brunch! I brought my whole families in one weekend, and the owner Mike recognizes us the next time we stop by! A little joint where "everybody knows your name!" Heartwarming food with generous portion! Clean kitchen and restaurant area! My favorite is their omelet and breakfast bowls! Highly recommended. I look forward for every weekend to go to the Corner Cafe! read more

This place is my #1 go to breakfast spot. You cannot beat the prices and the quality of food and portion size is excellent. Their veggie egg burrito is delicious, and bacon always cooked to perfection. The "Hungry" breakfast comes with 3 eggs any style, 3 pieces of bacon and your choice of 3 pancakes or French toast for $13 - can't beat that price! Their online ordering is very easy. I've never actually eaten there, but when I go in to pick up my food the cafe is always clean, small but cute spot. They always recognize me and greet me with a smile. THIS IS YOUR NEW BREAKFAST SPOT!!!! read more

Excellent all the way around. Great service, great food and a very helpful staff. They offer online ordering that is seamless and efficient. read more

Great food. We love coming here when staying across the street. Always a satisfying meal

Great service but they are cash only. You can order on the app and use a card though. Very accommodating

First of all the eggs were exquisite. My toast had an oaky, balmy wonder I had never experienced before. The service left me as a better version of myself and I felt set up for success on my departure. I hope they will have me again someday. The ambiance had me feeling like I finally found my home. Great lighting and seating arrangements. Maybe they'll cater my next wedding! read more

Walked by it hundreds of times and never gave it a second look at, boy was that a MISTAKE! Today on lunch break my coworkers and I walked over and had some lunch. We all got something different and everything came out great! Service was great, a guy who worked there (Chris) made sure everything was hot and ready with speed! Thanks again guys we will be back! read more

From the moment I wandered in (with my coffee from elsewhere) I was welcomed and made to feel appreciated. A good amount of choices for a "Corner Cafe," and the breakfast burrito (The Carney) and the Breakfast sandwich (The Number 1) were exactly what we were looking for. I personally dig the black on black sign above the door, but others might miss it, for those undercaffienated wanderers the flapping OPEN banner on the sidewalk might help. The guys behind the counter are great and make colorful suggestions. Don't worry about the "cash only" factor, they have options (on-site ATM or pay through their website). read more

Stopped in 2 weeks ago for a morning bite. We were definitely disappointed in our experience. The restaurant was cash only, which is a total pain in the butt. This was upsetting but the food was more disappointing. I ordered over easy eggs and they all came out either over cooked or with the yolk broken. I never send food back to the kitchen but I was close this time. For a breakfast place to not be able to cook an over easy egg, let's just say is a big red flag. Additionally we asked for Frank's hot sauce, which they didn't have any. For all the breakfast places around, this should not be high on your list. read more

Enjoyed a robust breakfast and a Mocha Latte. The staff is upbeat and personable . Convenient to Sheraton Four Points and Honda Village. read more

UPDATE: I received a harassing message from a Yelper named Maria S. (Picture included!) after posting my honest review (seriously, hairs in my food, yuck). This Maria S. tried to bully me into taking my review down and tried shaming me in the process (sorry, not sorry for sharing my entire experience). I found it very strange that this person, who claimed to take my review so personally because this was their favorite place to eat, was monitoring reviews for this restaurant and harassing anyone who did not agree with her. Then it clicked that this person must be a relative, and after a quick internet search I found the owner's wife has the same name as this Yelper. I'm just astonished - I tried to let one lie go until finding a third hair, and now the wife is posing as just a patron and harassing me to remove my review. Following up on a lie with a lie! It's crazy! Integrity does not run strong through this family. Maybe you'll have a different experience dear reader, maybe you won't. This is what Yelp was created for - honest reviews and experiences. I've used Yelp hundreds of times to figure out where to eat. I've gone to many restaurants that had a list of varying reviews, and some that included a 1 star review! So, I'm not going to be bullied into removing mine, and I'm not ashamed of sharing this experience. The owner and his wife should be ashamed for their dishonesty and conduct. They still have my money - there was no refund for the contaminated item. My Review: I don't like leaving 1 star reviews, but I just discovered I was lied to. I ordered breakfast through Grubhub and when I opened the tightly sealed delivery bag (I mean knotted tightly, so this didn't happen on the way to my house) and opened the first container of eggs and bacon, I found a dark black 5 inch hair wrapped in the scrambled eggs. I pulled that and the contaminated eggs out (this was to be my son's breakfast) and then discovered a second dark black hair about 3 inches long (gross!). (Picture attached!) My household is strawberry blonde and blonde, so it didn't get all wrapped in the eggs upon opening from me. The lie - I called the restaurant to let them know someone potentially needs to put on a hair net or tie their hair back, and that I wasn't looking for a new order or anything. I've ordered from here before and didn't have an issue then. The person who answered, who I believe was the owner, said they were surprised and I told him this hair was scrambled into the eggs and none of us have dark hair. He said, "wow, neither do we!" I give him credit for trying to fix the issue by offering us lunch, but I was still nauseas from the hair finding that I couldn't accept, and the fact that I don't want to put a restaurant out after all they've been through with Covid this year. It is strange, though, that after declining the lunch offer he didn't offer to refund the item. That should have been offered, I shouldn't have to ask. The reason I think it was the owner on the phone was because he said he has "'his' driver coming back to the restaurant" who can bring us lunch. So, how does a dark black 5" long hair and a 3" long hair make its way into our eggs? And a 3rd 1/2" hair on the scotch tape used to seal my egg wrap?!! I looked at their Instagram and the owner and his family who works here all have dark hair. I am insulted. Thank you for treating me like a fool - you have lost our business Corner Cafe! read more

This place is top notch. We have been limiting our exposure during the crisis but my wife and I have been craving that old school diner, home-cooked breakfast we used to enjoy so often. Not only did corner cafe come through with an awesome and quick meal, the pick up and payment was super fast and clean. Very happy, no concerns and will be back soon! read more

The new owners are super friendly and will remember your name. Chris has totally revamped this place inside and out. It is now a cozy corner spot with good music to sit down and enjoy a bite with a friend. There is an all new menu with amazing must try breakfast and lunch options.

I work in Newton Corner, and I have never been dissatisfied with this place. They make good wraps/sandwiches, and their avgolemono soup is amazing (It's lemon chicken rice soup). It's accessible to employees or residents of Newton Corner, and I have to say, it's good. I've also tried their breakfast items, and their iced coffee in the summer. The employees at The Corner Cafe are helpful, and are accommodating. I know some reviewers have said that the lady at the front desk isn't nice, but I think she is. I mean, if you're pleasant and nice to someone, they'll be the same way right back. It's customer service...and it pays. The only downside is that they only take cash. But it's okay because there are ATMs around the corner and across the street. read more

This neighborhood eatery serves up yummy breakfast scramble bowls with Bostonian flare, humor and charm.

Great price good food ! Got breakfast 2 time here just perfect ! The owner Verynice and welcome !!

Excellent veggie omelet and avocado toast. Service was friendly and very fast. Will definitely be back!!!

Decided to stop here for a bite to eat with my 10 month old daughter while wife my was at a quick work event. The outside has a cool city vibe and the inside is clean and warm. Family owned and operated, Corner Cafes food was fresh, tasty and definitely hit the spot! The menu is dynamic with many international options so I got the gyro and it was fantastic. They even accommodated my baby with some food she could eat and were happy to be allergen friendly for her. The place got busy during the lunch rush and the staff handled it with ease. I wish this place was near where i worked because I'd go everyday for lunch! read more

While in this restaurant i have seen the cook/owner offer to prepare items that are not the menu on two separate occasions. These owner operated family businesses are the first ones we should support. The kind of family/restaurant you can grow with. read more

First off, let me say that this place sells a lot more than sandwiches, most importantly breakfast goods. I was also torn between the "Sandwich" category and the "Greek/Mediterranean" category. And now the rundown. Location: Miserable, unless you work in Newton Corner, and in fact, Newton Corner is mainly composed of offices. Anyway it's not worth driving here and finding parking just to eat here. Breakfast: I've never tried the breakfast items, but they look fine on paper. They also sell baked goods and bagels. And the obligatory coffee. Sandwiches: They sell the standard gamut of American sandwiches, cold and hot, on bread & rolls (turkey, veggie, BLT, veggie burger, griled cheese, etc). They also sell a nice assortment of wraps, which come overstuffed and often dripping. They're pretty good, though, and they have some good veggie options. Expect many variations involving spinach, feta, red onion, and tomato, some with couscous or hummus (hence the Greek/Mediterranean). Salads: Pretty average. Often there is too much iceberg and not enough veggies, sub-average feta. As an aside, I noticed that the Greek salad dressing (not homemade) contains MSG. Hmm. Soups: Very salty. They do an avgolemono (lemon chicken soup) which is good. Sides & drinks: The usual pre-packaged and refrigerated suspects, at what seem like high prices. Other stuff: They do a variety of hot meals that change day to day. Like lasagna, spanakopita, etc. Usually a good deal. I hear good things about their baklava. read more
