Absolutely wonderful place!!! Food was beautiful and delicious. It felt like homemade 😊 Service was kind, knowledgeable, and prompt. My youngest is gluten free and they made his "sandwich" look really nice on the plate, all chopped up and ready to eat! Thank you for going above and beyond. When we order a sandwich without the bread other places, there is not nearly the attention to detail 💓 It was nice that it was quiet enough to enjoy conversation with those we met for lunch, with music low in the background. TVs low enough for conversion at a normal speaking level. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Very nice staff, food was yummy. Breakfast & lunch served ALL DAY! Buffalo chicken wonton bites were good! Cute inside.

Cafe Serendipity is conveniently located near Lowes in Newton, where there is a dearth of food options outside McDonalds and Burger King. It's a clean, open space with a decent amount of seating. The temperature is usually on the colder side, and I wouldn't say it is overly cozy. I've ordered here with some frequency over the last few years, usually when I am out running errands. I'd say the food quality is mediocre, and the prices have ballooned to levels I would say are prohibitive to the average consumer based on the amount of food you're getting. I ordered a grilled chicken wrap with mozzarella, balsamic, roasted red peppers, etc. the other day and was surprised that it was $17. For a smallish wrap, it's really too costly. The cafe throws in a bag of chips, but I've never asked

Cafe Serendipity is a family owned and operated eat in deli. It doesnt matter what you order. Everything is good. The Italian is a great go to as well and the breakfast sandwiches. Looking for a change. Try the tacos. They are fresh ! Say hello to Deb and Young Milton at the counter. Great place great food!

Nice clean establishment & staff were nice. I've had a couple of breakfast sandwiches that were just subpar. The 1st was a bit disappointing, quality of the Taylor Ham was good, but the egg was overcooked & the quality of the roll although it was soft & felt fresh the texture was spongy & too chewy. The 2nd had bacon & again the quality of the roll is the same issue, egg not overcooked this time (not sure why, but a nice change) but unfortunately the bacon is pre-cooked, it was hard & stiff like a board, no give to it at all which I feel it's not freshly made & just waiting on the side for orders to come in. I've definitely had better breakfast sandwiches other than here. Hash browns are store bought & probably done in an air fryer & super crunchy. Did try the breakfast Western Omelet & th
