The Center Cafe is a gem of Needham. The owners, Steve and Karen, are dedicated to Needham and regularly send a portion of their profits to a Needham charity or cause. They are regular supporters of Needham community events with auction donations and themed events such as dinner and dancing for First Night. The atmosphere at the Center Cafe is comfortable and warm. Steve and Karen greet you with a hug and get to know their patrons personally. The food is enjoyable and special requests are taken easily. The wine list is great. Our family loves the Center Cafe and eats there regularly. We have never been disappointed and recommend it highly to all.
