The Center Cafe is a relaxed and intimate restaurant that focuses on casual excellence in both food and service.  We feature a menu that is simple and varied with its roots based in New England American cuisine which is served and prepared with pride and care.  

Located in an old railway station on the commuter line, The Center Cafe is in the heart of Needham Center within walking distance of the surrounding residential community.

With each shake of a hand, preparation of a menu item or offering of what you need before being asked, let us guide you through our dining options.  If we can't sit you at the time you arrive, we will make sure that you are taken care of, even if that means we have to help find you another place to dine to insure that you have the best evening out that you could possibly have.  It is this devotion to the integration and creation of our handcrafted service that leads to our beliefs in hospitality.  That is our focus.

If you're in the neighborhood, come in and experience our brand of artisan hospitality.
