Reviews for Cafe Landwer in Boston, MA
I've been begging my significant other to take me here for months and he finally agreed. He said last time he went there was a... dead fly in the water pitcher. On first impression, the decor was cute, but the place is awfully small and crowded. I gotanxiety being there. We ordered the Oreo milkshake, it was a total scam! We had like 2 sips of it and it was gone. Way toosmall for $9. But we saw another table get a bigger glass for the milkshake, so ask for the regular glass if you're getting amilkshake. The fancy glasses are not it! The pancakes looked nice on presentation, but they tasted burnt. And the tray it wasserved on was way too impractical to eat with. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma sandwich, but the side pickles came on a smalllittle salt dish, so you barely got 3 pickles. Not to mention the small little water glasses they give you! I definitely willnot be coming here again. It's too expensive for the portions you get. Read more
When they placed my breakfast in front of me, it felt so special. I ordered a delicious israeli breakfast. It was delightful. My... daughter got the waffles with blueberries and bananas. All was delicious. Staff could not have been nicer. I will absolutelybe back! Read more
I had wanted to come here for awhile, and I finally came. Luckily, the wait was not long when we got here last weekend around... 9:15am. The waiter was attentive, and knew anything we asked him. The place was packed when we got there, but surprisingly, thefood came out fairly quickly. All of the food we ordered were delicious especially the fries, and the shashuka. The Turkishcoffee was alright, wasn't the greatest - I've had better before. I would highly recommend coming here for meals, it's so yummy' Read more
What can I say about this place? Cafe Landwer is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Great staff and hosts. The... food is always delicious. The service is always fast, even on the weekends and the place is always clean. I’ve tried CafeLandwer for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I was never disappointed! Must have for breakfast: Pancakes, waffles or theMediterranean Omelet. Lunch/ Dinner: I recommend the pesto pasta, the burgers were also great and the Chicken Schnitzel. Drinksand coffees are also great. For dessert definitely try the Rozalach. Prices are good. They also offered live music during thesummer! Read more
Amazing breakfast and brunch experience. My friends and I came here this past Sunday after hearing about their popularity on... social media. On the weekends, they don’t accept reservations, so we had to wait for 30 minutes on their waitlist to getseated. We got a couple of their most popular menus, and it was a huge success. First of all, with German heritage, theycertainly knew how to make a proper schnitzel. A lot of the schnitzels I had in the US were dry on the inside, but this one wasvery juicy and tender. Pancakes were light and fluffy, and they went perfectly well with the cream and fruits on the side. Shakshuka was also delicious, but the real highlight of this dish was the za’atar bread on the side. Soaked in olive oil fromza’atar, the breads were really good, and their combination with the poached egg and chunky tomatoes was simplysublime. Highly recommend getting brunch from this place, but make sure to go early or be prepared to wait at least half anhour. Read more
One of the finest cafe experiences of BOSTON. I had the best authentic CHICKEN SHAWARMA (Mediterranean Version) of the... BOSTON. I am a MOCHA Lover, and so I will say. They have one of the best HOT CHOCOLATEY MOCHA in town. Amazing experience, butexpect delay in order waiting & order taking process due to many seating customers. Lastly, I wish I just a had a LIME in theHUMUS BOWL. Portions are generous. Read more
Words can’t do justice to the food and the impeccable service at Cafe Landwer. Your table is always well taken care of, and... their manager/captain is always up for a good chat with the customers. I love how people focused they are, not just trying tomake small talk. The rozalach here are to die for. We’ve tried all the variants and there’s no one clear winner. The coffee,the drink cocktails, the food, there’s nothing that’s a downside. Everything is as good as it gets! I’d definitelyrecommend having brunch at Cafe Landwer to kick off a wonderful weekend!

Cafe Landwer’s fineness is no news to the locals, as they’ve been in business for a century, so I won’t repeat on... everything they’ve done right as a business and a restaurant that everyone else has posted here. Just one word ofadvice—get a reservation on their website through Yelp ahead of time. And one recommendation for hot beverage lovers wholoves exotic food and cares about health—try their Sahleb, a flora rose water orchid-extract drink from the Middle East thatis calming soothing and a perfect replacement for oatmeal or a sweet beverage. It’s hard to describe the taste, but I’vebeen thinking about it ever since I had it. Read more
