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

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

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

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

Cafe Chew - The French Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sandwich, Massachusetts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Superb food and great staff. Godfather and Pilgrim sandwiches are family favorites Love coming here after biking the canal trail.

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

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

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

Solid lunch place. Seating situation is a little wonky. But overall is a great spot for sandwiches, coffee and baked goods.

I can't say enough about Cafe Chew. The quality of service exceeded my expectations. You combine that with home cooking and the small town feel, I am all in. You can't go wrong with anything, but breakfast is my favorite. read more

Cafe chew has such wonderful food. They serve large portions and the staff is so welcoming . Love visiting when we are on vacation

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

I've heard such great things about Cafe Chew from friends who frequent Cape Cod, so I was excited to try it out myself when I visited this past weekend. Not only was the food amazing (I ordered The French and added avocado--yum!!), but the service was unmatched! The owner, Jimmy, went above and beyond to make our experience truly great, and I am so appreciative. Next time I'm back at Cafe Chew, I need to check out their bakery selection--the brownies looked insane!! read more

Great sandwiches in Sandwich! We had the Turkey gobbler Thanksgiving left-over type sandwich on a cranberry nut bread, the Turkey was thick sliced and served warm with stuffing- a perfect sandwich even on a sunny summer day. Indoor/outdoor seating and lots to choose from on the menu. The kids had plain grilled cheese or tuna fish, the adults a Nordic salmon & caper connection. Great place for a quick bite, to sit in, or to go. read more

Nestled away in a obscure shopping center you will find this gem of a a restaurant. The food was very good and service was prompt (for the most part). I ordered the The Oatsy-Groatsy, Chew bar and a Fentiman's Dandelion & Burdock beverage. The wrap was good, but nothing overly special. The Chew bar and the Fentiman's where the standouts of the meal. I don't have much a of a sweet tooth and found the Chew bar to wonderfully rich. The layers of flavors will be sure to leave a smile on your face, as they did mine. Same can be said about the Fentiman's. It's doesn't go with the Chew bar, but it was a fine stand alone selection that I took to go. I would definitely recommend this place! The one point that was stated at all and took me a minute to figure out, was the ordering. The host will seat, but there is no one to take the order. You must order at the counter after being seated. read more

Fantastic, tremendous, stupendous! Best damn sandwiches on the Cape. The Bánh mì was phenomenal- tasty pork, spicy, crisp carrot & cukes, cilantro. Just perfect. Also recommend The Pilgrim- Thanksgiving between 2 slices of cranberry walnut bread! Be ready for a bit of a line. read more

Solid sandwiches. I highly recommend getting any sandwich on the ciabatta bread and always get the blueberry muffin.

Staff was extremely friendly, food came out quickly. great location in sandwich MA. we were able to choose our seating outside and food was brought to us read more

The food was very good. The service was friendly and timely. The ambiance was wonderful. Many friendly patrons and a pleasant Cape Cod decor

Very cute Cape Cod Cafe. We sat out back in the grassy area. The food was good & the service was great! We loved to see a few healthy options! Kids had French toast, I had the hippie wrap and husband had huevos rancheros. After breakfast we toured the nearby shops read more

The coffee was great so was the service. Plenty of space outside and great atmosphere. The baked goods looked heavenly. I had breakfast, an omelette with home fries, bacon and toast. The omelette was nothing special as were the home fries. The choice of breads was a bit sliced m for my taste. I'd go here again in a heartbeat though just to give some other of their fare a try. read more

This place had so much going for it, it's adorable, it's trendy, it's beautiful inside, but the food was just so painfully dull. I ordered the eggs, bacon, and French toast with a morning glory muffin on the side and I was just not impressed. The eggs had nearly no flavor, the bacon was nothing special, and the French toast was just French toast. The muffin was dry and unexciting. The iced coffee was good and I was happy to see a variety of add-ins and non-dairy creamer options available. They've got a few outdoor seating tables in back and more in the front plaza area. I really think I caught them on a bad day, I wanted so badly to love this place but it just didn't do it for me. Next time! I'll certainly try again. read more
