A Wellesley Tradition, Reimagined

Rooted in the warmth of Greek-Mediterranean hospitality, Maugus Cafe has been a beloved neighborhood fixture for generations. Now under new ownership, we are honoring that rich history while infusing the space with a refined, modern sensibility.

Awesome place, people and food. I love old school places with good food and genuine people! The best American Cheeseburger ever I'm coming back to try everything on the menu!

Awesome breakfast and lunch place. It’s been here for many, many years. Everyone comes here in town. Food is excellent and service has improved (they were short staffed during Covid and have recovered). Definitely a Townie place but there’s a reason for that!

This little restaurant is a Wellesley landmark and has been making generations of people happy. I started coming here as a young teenager and now that I’m almost 50 I still love coming here. Even during the 25 years I lived in California I would make sure I visited on every trip home. Personally, I recommend trying the Greek food that is on the menu, as it is all homemade and truly delicious. However, The diner style fare is also fantastic. I’m a big fan of their club sandwiches, great french fries, and their breakfast foods,especially the pancakes, hit the spot. Also, a wonderful family has run this from the start.

Another amazing google maps find. I had the beef shish kabob’s that were marinated and prepared to perfection. Super tender and flavorful. I also had the sweet potato fries that had great taste and not oily. My wife had the Caesar Salad that had a lot of fresh parmesan cheese and tasty dressing & croutons. Service was friendly. We liked the old school family run diner.
