"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
"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
"A daytime neighborhood spot in Roxbury’s Nubian Square whose proprietor publicly condemned the chef's on-stage remarks, characterizing the reaction as symptomatic of celebrities escaping accountability and expressing concern about generational attitudes that allow such behavior to persist." - Erika Adams
"Rai’s Roxbury restaurant, Dudley Cafe, hosted Kwaaran pop-ups starting in 2015 that helped spark the long-running collaboration between Rai and Kwaa and laid groundwork for Comfort Kitchen." - Erika Adams
