Dudley Cafe is a vibrant neighborhood spot where you can savor micro-roasted coffee and inventive Indian-Asian bites while soaking up a creative community vibe.
"Dudley Cafe has been a go-to spot for morning coffee and breakfast sandwiches in Nubian Square for nearly a decade. Sandwich and bowl names pay homage to local history, like the Roxbury Deluxe breakfast sandwich featuring egg, spinach, bacon, cheddar, and jam on an English muffin, and Ayanna’s Bowl, a savory nod to Representative Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. Community is also at the core of this cafe, where they showcase local artists and hire staffers from the nearby Madison Park Technical High School." - Nathan Tavares
"Head to Dudley Cafe, which functions as both a restaurant and a creative community center that hosts events and showcases work from a rotating roster of local artists, for the Roxbury’s Deluxe: bacon, egg, cheddar, sauteed spinach, and seasonal fruit jam on an English muffin. Meanwhile, the second location opened in Cambridge in July 2023, where you can find a breakfast sandwich with an egg topped with a spicy sauce plus spinach and your choice of cheese on a bulkie roll." - Nathan Tavares, Eater Staff
"Across the city, the nearly decade-old Dudley Cafe in Roxbury has announced plans to expand to Cambridge at 1663 Massachusetts Avenue, at the corner of Wendell Street, between Harvard Square and Porter Square." - Erika Adams
"Dudley Cafe is the platonic ideal of a sunny little cafe: comfy chairs, warm service, and enough space to linger for hours. The menu includes a jammy breakfast sandwich served all day, hot and cold lunch sandwiches, and rice bowls heaping with colorful veggies and tangy sauces. The owners are the same folks behind Shanti, a mini-chain of Indian restaurants in Boston." - Erika Adams
"Dudley Cafe has very good coffee, but it’s more than just a coffee shop. It also provides internships and employment opportunities to the neighborhood’s youth — the cafe has a partnership with Madison Park Technical High School and hires students for baking and front-of-house jobs. Go for breakfast and get the Roxbury Deluxe, which is a breakfast sandwich with sauteed spinach, egg, bacon, cheddar cheese, and seasonal jam, served on an English muffin." - Terrence Doyle
