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

Sandwiches are great, but the owner is not friendly and customer service is not good.

I really love this place, great chicken salad, they sell wine, and the soup is amazing.

You cannot get better service than at Judith's kitchen. They are absolutely fantastic, and they are so friendly, you feel like you are hanging out with your family. Their food is made fresh in house, in fact I'm watching her make some right now. You will not find fresher ingredients. I used to own a catering company, so it is very hard for me to find things that I consider as good as what I can make myself. Many of the items they have here are as good as what I can make. Even their tuna salad, which is fantastic. read more

Just came back from having a terrific lunch at Judith's Kitchen! Wife and I split a veggie plate (amazing kale salad, potato salad and cole slaw) and a giant tuna sandwich on ciabatta. Man, was that good!! Prompt service, nice people and very reasonable. We'll be back again soon and will try out dinner plates. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood food scene. Quality selection of prepared food, excellent soups, vegetarian and vegan options. wine, beer, cider. Pleasant decor. read more

This is a great lunch spot. I usually put together my lunch--salmon or tuna salad with a couple of sides, rather than a sandwich. Today, I brought home some kale salad and carrot salad--both delicious. read more

Really wish it didn't have to be this way but when you get home to eat your sandwich, finish one half only to find blue mold on the bread of the second half it warrants 1 star. read more

Good option before a movie at the local cinema. Had the grilled salmon plate. Fresh and quick!

Great food and service. I definitely recommend going here. There are lots of sandwich options (make your own), pre made food that looks delicious, a sizable beer and wine selection, and desserts. We got a chicken salad sandwich and a tuna salad sandwich. Soooo good. Go here! Judith is very nice. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, organized service. A great selection of fresh, tasty takeout options that feel like home cooked + a nicely edited selection of wine and beer. A comfortable "dine-in" seating area. Overall, a great value. read more

Stay away, the service is terrible. Their price is outrage and cheating on customers.

This is excellent place for home comfort food, the kale salad, lentil soups, wild rice chicken dish are to kill for, cookies and sweet are great too. They also serve wine and beer! Love it! read more

Friends and I stopped in for dessert. I got the giant Reese's Peanut Butter Cookie which was yummy. The reason for four stars is because I only order the cookie. The resturant serves other goodies. read more

I had a great experience! The food is all very fresh and I had a wonderful sandwich. They have this ingenious way of ordering your sandwich where you check off what you want so the order does not get messed up. I was also pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the prices were (more reasonable than whole foods!). The location is great also as well as convenient and easy. We also did take away food which was also fresh and delicious. I especially loved the fishcakes and the kale salad. Some real winners! A real gem in West Newton which I hope will thrive and prosper. read more

Judith's Kitchen has some of the best things to eat and drink in the Newton area! Their coffee is outstanding, rich and complex flavors., great way to start your day. They have a really unique selection of wines and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. They are so knowledgeable about the wines. And the staff is GREAT, so it's nice to have them help pick something out to go with the food they sell. Be sure to try the rotisserie chicken, so moist and flavorful. I think they have the best sandwich board I've ever seen. Easy to order, everything tastes sublime AND it doesn't cost a bag load of money. This place is the best thing to happen in the area since they put in sidewalks. read more

2 times in 2 days. Great chicken salad. Gluten free bread options. Had a roast beef sandwich with provolone and mayo today then ordered their kale salad which was amazing so I put it on the sandwich and it was TO DIE FOR. Maybe I created a sandwich special for them. Wink wink. read more

Born and Raised in Newton, MA (moved away to FL) August 2018 while visiting my family I noticed that Celtic Crust had become Judith's Kitchen. It looked very pretty from the outside. Pretty windows and awnings. I was very curious. I got my chance on my way to Logan. I stopped to get a sandwich for my flight. I bought a Roasted Turkey Wrap. It cost 10.99 - but it was a big sandwich. I thought I would eat half at the airport and half in the plane. But NO, I ate the whole thing at the airport. It was very good, and well worth the price. AS A SIDE NOTE: I visit Europe pretty often. And an "IMBISS" is always good bet for a Panini at a fair price....Judith's Kitchen is like that. Good food, Not FAST JUNK FOOD. Looked very clean too, and friendly :) read more

Judith's is a terrific addition to West Newton! It's a cafe and market that has, among other things, a changing menu of wonderful prepared foods. Everything I've tried has been delicious; I particularly love their kale salad and soups. Prices are reasonable which makes it a very attractive alternative to Whole Foods. Check it out!!! read more

There simply isn't a better deal in town than a sandwich from Judith's. For less than $10, you get a sandwich piled high with veggies (of which there's a bunch to choose from) and meat. For most people, there's enough there for two meals. The other wonderful thing about Judith's is the by-the-pound salads, veggies, and meats--each of which is priced several dollars per pound less than Whole Foods. Judith's is also right next door to Blue Ribbon, so if the angel on your shoulder whispers "Don't do it! Eat something healthy instead," just go next door. read more

My wife and I were in Paris last week and had amazing food! Upon our return, I was invited at the last minute to a casual gathering of about 30 people in someone's home. I brought wine and was told just a simple pasta and salad would be available in the kitchen to self serve. I thought to myself, "Well, French gourmet cooking is over now for sure!" Quite to my surprise, the pasta was AMAZING with delicious spicing and a hint of sauce and who makes a "simple" Kale salad like this! Well, I quietly inquired who made the food and the answer, Judith Kalish from Judith's Kitchen. Wow! I admit that I have never been to her restaurant, but if "simple pasta and salad" tastes like that, then I am going for sure!! read more

Great new place. They have a build your own sandwich. Cookies and treats from local boston bakeries as well as those made in house. Simple but good stuff read more

My wife and I bought the pre made turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. Judith told us we had to cook it for a half hour because it wasn't fully cooked. Only problem was she didn't tell me until the day I showed up to buy it, not over the phone. I wish I had gone to stop and shop or Shaw's because at least there it's just heat it and eat it. I have no idea how to cook a turkey and with all the stores closed I couldn't get a thermometer. What a disaster. Also the food wasn't good. The turkey was dry and too salty, the sides were overloaded with cranberries. It was like ocean spray dropped a cranberry bomb on my Thanksgiving. Sweet potatoes with cranberries and acorn squash with cranberry rice stuffing. Also the gravy was watery. For what I got I feel I paid too much. For less money Shaw's or stop and shop would have been better. read more

Great little place. Very nice ambience. My only issue is the bread. Twice I ordered a sandwich to go. When I got home, I was very disappointed in how dry the bread was. It just didn't seem fresh and detracted from what would have been a good sandwich. Something to consider changing??? read more

Love Judith's kitchen. The range of healthy, tasty choices make it a favorite destination for lunch and takeout. I had a quinoa soup with coconut and also a green smoothie that were both incredible. Ideal for vegetarians too. read more

Your chicken salad is so good it makes me weep. Welcome to the neighborhood Judith's Kitchen. I'd give you 5 stars if you always had a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in the cooler for me for $13. If that $13 bottle of zing was Matua...Mmm. read more

We loved it. It's a nice addition to the Newton dining scene. The food was excellent. We had the turkey platter with sweet potatoes and kale salad. Everything was delish! It's a very casual, comfortable place to dine, and the owner is so nice and hospitable. read more

LOVE Judith's Kitchen. Everyone is super friendly and the food is just terrific. Chicken salad, kale salad... everything super fresh. And a terrific beer/wine selection as well. The breakfast burritos are AMAZING - light fluffy eggs - huge meal!! An easy place to pick up a quick meal or to meet folks as the atmosphere is relaxed... read more

Love Judith's! Moved to West Newton a little over a year ago. Right when Keltic Krust closed. Was stoked to see a new, and probably better place move in. Great food! Quick, easy and FRESH! My favorites are the soups (really good!), the kale, seasonal veggie dishes and the CHICKEN SALAD! Such a convenience to have a place like this in the neighborhood. I go here more than any other place around. Why wouldn't you?! Plus, everyone, including Judith, are so friendly and laid back. read more

Just moved into town and walked to this lovely place today! Woman working was very patient in me making a choice and kind. The kale salad is delicious, as I munch on it now, and the quinoa salad got a thumbs up from my bf. Can't wait to make this a weekly trip and as a good excuse to go on a walk! read more

Had a take-out chicken salad sandwich on a challah bulkie. The chicken salad was very good but the bulkie was stale and dry. Couldn't eat the roll so removed the chix salad and enjoyed it plain. If the bread isn't fresh, don't offer it! I'll give them another chance but will order a different bread. read more

I live in Pennsylvania and had to figure out what to feed 10 people in Newton, MA for Christmas Eve dinner. I found Judith's Kitchen online and called. Right from the start Judith was accommodating and made excellent suggestions for how to please everyone, vegetarians and carnivores alike! We all had a wonderful meal, and the price was very reasonable. I can't recommend Judith's Kitchen too highly! read more

Had an amazing roast beef sandwich. Enormous, fresh, crunchy french baguette, tons of herb cheese and cheddar with melt in your mouth, pink, perfectly sliced roast beef. Ate half for lunch...the rest--dinner! read more

I pick up takeout food there at least once a week. I have met friends for lunch there as well. In my experience the food has been consistently delicious. Lasagna, kale salad, pasta salad, soup, it's all been great. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. The prices are also much better than the prepared foods at Whole Foods. read more

while visiting family in boston over the holidays, we had the absolute best thanksgiving dinner fixings from judith's! every dish was outstanding, particularly the turkey - many felt it was the best EVER! great flavors and darling little spot. highly recommended! read more

I'm giving Judith's two stars because of poor customer service three times in a row within a 2 week period. I go to Boston Body Pilates a few doors down several times a week so thought I'd check it out. About a year ago, I stopped in for the first time for a wine tasting. The wine tasting person was not an employee. She was super friendly and I tried a few wines. I then went to the counter to buy food and stood there for several minutes before I was acknowledged, even though someone was behind the counter working on something, a bit toward the back of the store, with their head down. The person finally looked up and behaved as though doing me a favor. I purchased an eggplant rollup type thing and it was quite good. I went back two more times within a few weeks, around dinner time. Both times the store was empty and I was again ignored by workers behind the counter so I walked out and never went back. read more
