Ordered large bowls of various salads -- spicy tofu, kale and black bean with mango -- for a party. When we arrived to pick them up, it was clear that they had been freshly made. Everyone raved about the food and has continued to comment on it ever since. Very pleased! read more

We absolutely love this place. They catered a recent party for us: amazingly delicious shrimp, flank steak, wild rice, vegetables...Judith is cool, too. Three thumbs up! read more

Friendly staff and service. Great for a quick lunch. Kale salad is one of the best. Fresh ingredients. Food can be purchased by the pound or plate and they make made to order sandwiches. read more

I have been relying on Judith for catering food at my house parties, typically feeding 30-40 guests. The guests have always been very happy. The salmon is deliciously seasoned and the kale salad has been gone on a heart beat and all my guests were raving about the food. My next party will be with food from Judith's, too, for sure. I also enjoy John's wine selection and his advise on what to pick for which type of occasion. Also, my partner and I love the sandwiches and frequently come for lunch. A highly recommended place in West Newton Village!!! read more

Awesome food and service! Breakfast is first rate and so is the kale salad and salmon. Make your own sandwich and if you don't see what you want, just ask. Highly recommend for their red wine selection:) read more

A pandemic oasis-still open! Awesome comfort food, bread, wine, beer and toilet tissue! What more do you need? She even makes kale salad taste good. Take out only of course but all done safe, quick and with a smile. Try the flank steak panini sandwich. We need places like this to keep afloat. Worth the trip and parking for once is easy. read more

Updating my review to add that it's super vegetarian friendly! Hard to get a good vegetarian sandwich around here, bye Subway!!

Judiths salmon and kale salad is simply the best I have ever had. I don't know how she does it but it's magical. Super fresh grilled salmon and tender seasoned kale. Amazing! All I need now is a unicorn to fly away on. Thank you Judith. read more

Our family loves Judith's! Judith and John (owners) are so friendly and are a local family. Judith is such a great cook. The counter of prepared foods are all so delicious and made with love. Great for when you're feeling lazy but want something homemade and delicious. The kale salad is my favorite. read more

Delicious healthy food options! Very glad I stumbled across this gem of a place. Just wish it was walking distance from me!

I love coming here for lunch . Their sandwiches are so fresh and tasty. And lately I have been coming in the morning for their oatmeal which is cheap and tasty . Don't get the oatmeal and dunkins . Come here ! They have raisins , nuts , and brown sugar for toppings . read more

You cannot go wrong with this small restaurant. Food is literally "homemade", environment and staff make you feel like you are at home. Kudos! read more

Most delicious sandwiches! There are so many sandwich options - from artisan breads to meats to cheeses and various yummy toppings - I don't think I'll ever run out of options. I also love their breakfast burritos. Lots of egg, so I'm getting my fill of protein! Everyone is always very friendly, too! It's one of my new favorite restaurants since I started working in West Newton a few months ago. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. They have a small breakfast menu that included eggs, omelette and French toast. Unfortunately, they literally did not have the ingredients for practically anything! No french toast, no sausage, no lox, no bagels.... We left with no breakfast. How do you stay open?? read more

As I sit here writing this review, I'm eating a delicious custom turkey wrap. I love walking into Judith's Kitchen because everyone there is so friendly. In addition to the customizable sandwich offerings, they also offer a large array of prepared foods such as brussels sprouts, salads, poultry and fish. There is a selection of wines and beers to take home as well. All in all, the perfect takeout place for lunch or dinner. read more

Outstanding prepared food. I have tried the kale salad, the fiesta pasta salad, the sesame noodle salad. I have also tried the salmon cakes, veggie burgers and cauliflower fritters. I could eat her food everyday. Also, very pretty decor! read more

Just can't stand how long it takes to get a sandwich in this place. It's just impossible to get basic stuff quickly here sometimes, and it kills me because I want to support local shops. Please, please pick up the customer service. read more

Do you have peanut butter cookies? No. What are these, I asked while holding up a plastic container of peanut butter cookies. Girl behind counter shrugs. Can I get extra bacon on my BLT? No answer, just a sleepy stare. Note to self: make your own sandwich. Bought a packaged "Judith's Kitchen" decadent sugar cookie (cloyingly, inedibly sweet) and a chocolate chunk cookie (worst cookie ever--you would have to work to make a cookie that was this dry and bad tasting). I asked for a little bag, three times, and another employee distractedly distractedly reaches for a bag with grease stains on it and misses the opening twice when she attempts to put my cookies in it. The cookies and these two young women are not going to be setting the world on fire, any time soon. And I'm out almost $5 for cookies that are now sitting in the trash. read more

Cute little shop selling delicious prepared food, bread, and wine. I went in on a Friday night and got half a pound of grill steak, some sweet potato salad and some kale salad to go. The total was about $11, which I thought was very reasonably given the quality and the quantity. I enjoyed a very nice (and pretty healthy) meal at home without going through the hassle of cooking and cleaning in the hot summer! Very satisfied! Judith's kitchen might be my go to place for good prepared food when I don't want to cook. read more

First time there. Friendly staff. Food was delicious. I'll be back. Looking forward to trying more of their menu

We ordered two small veggie and fruit platters from Judith as a last minute option for a party on Sunday and they were excellent. I totally recommend it! Judith was a pleasure to work with and is a local Newton Mom too. Thank you! read more

I've only gotten a few things from here but been many times. The food is really good but I think the prices went up. I paid $14 for a large iced tea and a breakfast wrap to go which is INSANE. I used to pay $10 which was fine but the iced tea is filled to the brim a ice so sorry but $6 for frozen water and a half cup of tea? No thanks. Unfortunately I think my visits have ended. read more

I purchased a sticky bun from there to go. I got home less than 10 minutes later to "enjoy" my treat and it was rock hard. It was NOT JUST over cooked but stale. When I called and spoke with the manager she told me they just got that item delivered this morning from a vendor. No apologizes or compensation offered. I had to throw it out, it was really inedible. Now tell me, why would I ever go back there? I used to stop there for coffee break but a friend's experience with bad coffee n service kept us from returning. should not have given them another chance. read more

This place is bomb and I love it. Used to come here often until I moved out of the area. I am obsessed with the breakfast burritos. The muffins and bakery area is super fresh and delicious. I really like the food that they have for lunch by the plate. read more

This place makes a great sandwich and they sell Lone Star Beer! They also sell a lot of premium beers, Mexican beers and fine wines. read more

Judith's Kitchen - This place makes a great sandwich and they sell Lone Star Beer!! May not be very exciting to most of y'all but I'm from San Antonio. - Cafes Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I'm a big fan of their sandwich bar - they can make whatever you want. I've made one with their chicken salad and it was amazing. This place also has pre-made soups, breakfast items, (muffins/biscotti) rotisserie chicken to go, beer/wine, desserts, and more! Come here if you need a meal/sandwich to go or pull up a chair and eat there. The staff here is really friendly and seem eager to please. read more

Great food, great drinks, amazing service. A great place to stop and grab good quality food when you're on the go, not a sit down place but there are tables. Fair pricing. I stop by here in the mornings before catching my train, to grab a coffee. The two women who work mornings are so kind and helpful. I wouldn't stop at the place next door for a free coffee, IMHO they are that good. Coffee is in a drum, good quality. Pastries are solid. Deli food is always fresh, very tasty, and at a good price. AND they have a small craft beer cooler and wine in the back. read more

Great food and service! Loved the breakfast sandwiches. Also very gluten-free friendly!

This place is a serious gem! I have never had a bad meal, their deli salads are amazing and the staff is hardworking and generally friendly, especially the owner. They will customize anything for you! Their breakfast burritos are enormous and great! read more

This place is Amazing!!! Their prepared food is so good and inexpensive! It is a 1/3 of the price of Wegman's or Wholefood's pre-cooked foods. Also there wine, cider, beer and pasty selection is great! I highly recommend anyone to stop in and visit Judith and her husband! read more

I decided to splurge on lunch because after work i'm going to my second job so I won't be able to eat for awhile. I decided to go to Judith's because while overpriced their sandwiches are fresh and yummy. Well that didn't work out so well. They messed up my sandwich for the second time in the 3 times I've been there and I couldn't eat it. Spending $10 on a sandwich that I can't eat makes me sick not to mention i'll be starving at work. Word of advice...check your sandwich before you leave the shop or you may get a rude surprise. If they do care enough to make your sandwich right...you're one of the lucky ones. read more

Judith has an excellent catering menu. The salmon, chicken, Israeli couscous, cucumber salad, and fruit salad described as delicious received many compliments. I highly recommend this business. read more

Best sandwiches around. Chicken salad is outstanding. Kale salad and cucumber salad are incredible. If you haven't tried Judith's Kitchen, definitely check it out. read more

Judith's Kitchen (JK) has been a great addition to our neighborhood. While as a long-time customer of Keltic Krust I was saddened by its closing, I was looking forward to JK's opening in 2015. After seeing how they renovated the place, the team behind it and their offering, I've been rooting for their success and have visited regularly since. In a nutshell, the food at Judith's is excellent, whether we are talking about my regular favorites (grilled salmon, fresh turkey breast, grilled chicken, flank steak) or my less-frequent favorites (typically vegetables, which she always finds a way to make delicious via grilling and tasty creations/combinations). Now, no food review of JK would be complete without mentioning chicken salad, in "standard" form or curried. The latter is, to me, a must have. There is more, of course, and I've never regretted experimenting, but these are my go-tos. This year, we got most of our Thanksgiving dinner from JK. Having had JK's turkey breast regularly for well over a year, I can say that Judith knows how to make a turkey. After warming up our Thanksgiving turkey for 30 minutes (as Judith instructed us upon pick-up) it came out perfectly, so much so that while the gravy was a nice addition, I didn't need to use much, as the meat was fairly tender and juicy (for turkey, that is!). The green beans with mushrooms were perfectly seasoned, as were the brussel sprouts and sautéed spinach we also got. We skipped everything else (made some other sides at home), but I surely was tempted by the looks of the stuffing and sweet potatoes in the display case. Bottom line: these are great "home-cooked" meals, prices are very reasonable (IMHO), and Judith and her team are genuinely nice and accommodating when we visit. read more

We had them cater a party on short notice. Judith was friendly and very accommodating to special requests. A few days before the party we realized that we had accidentally counted every person twice. Judith was great about cutting back where she could. On top of the great service the food got rave reviews. We would definitely use them again. read more

Now that I've been there more often, I'm starting to find that Judith's Kitchen is a little bit hit-or-miss. I've gotten really good sandwiches but then I've gotten some that I didn't really like - the ratios of meat-to-cheese were off or they were dry. The sandwich-ordering process can be a little awkward when it's busy...no good place to stand and wait while they make your sandwich, and it can take a while. Today I went in for a muffin and an iced tea. The muffin was just so-so and the iced tea was terrible. It tasted like it had been sitting in a plastic jug for a week - a very plasticky, watery flavor. Better off walking up to L'Aroma for iced tea. Mixed reviews from my family on the scones. I've had their other baked goods (a few types of cookies) and they were very good. I've also had some of the prepared foods and some of it has been pretty good, but not all. For instance, I got a some lasagna and when I got home I discovered it had corn in it. Corn wasn't listed on the ingredients and I feel like it didn't really go well with the lasagna, my husband couldn't have any because of a corn allergy, and my kid wouldn't try it because of the corn. read more

Went in for breakfast based upon previous reviews. Huge burrito was good but not worth the rudeness. My experience was completely opposite the glowing customer service reviews. I must have hit them on a bad day, a really bad one. read more

Judith's Kitchen catered an event (80 guests) for us last night. Her food was fresh and delicious, with wonderful customer service. Two thumbs up! Will work with this business again for future events. read more

I have been here a few times for the sandwiches. The food is definitely good, and the place is very clean and well kept. I guess my only gripe is that the consistency isn't the greatest. She has a bunch of people who don't speak English prepping the food and it seems like they were not trained very well. For example one of the times I went there my wrap was flattened and cut so diagonally it just fell apart when I tried to pick it up. It was almost like the cut the wrap lengthwise. Another time I ordered wheat bread and got a wrap. I think she just needs to train her staff better. read more

Was really excited to try Judith's Kitchen. It is nicely decorated, airy, with tables and a counter to sit at by the window. They serve a variety of foods--muffins, scones, sandwiches, salads, soups, and even beer and specialty cookies etc. Wanted to check it out a few times before writing a review. I like how easy it is to order a sandwich. You check off exactly what you want and place your order. Lots of options. Their bread is delicious and ingredients fresh. My only issue is that they weren't consistent. First time my sandwich was great--I ordered a hummus sandwich with veggies. Not a lot of hummus but a lot of veggies to make up for it which was ok with me. The second time I barely had any hummus or veggies. Total bummer. I'll try a sandwich again--for the price they have to beef it up! My friend got a wrap and felt the same. Have had their carrot slaw and artichoke salad which was delicious, as was their chocolate chip cookie. Muffin and scone was just ok. Wish they had vegan cookies or desserts--that would be great to see in a specialty place such as this. read more
