Hillside Cafe
140 Commonwealth Ave, Newton, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Newton, this cozy spot has mastered the art of the leisurely hangout, with a college-chill vibe that feels like a natural gathering place for long conversations over coffee. Their creative signature drinks like the Screamin' Eagle showcase real care in execution, though be prepared that specialty craftsmanship and a prime campus location come with higher price tags. It's the kind of place where you can sink into an afternoon with a well-made cold brew and decent sandwich, assuming you don't mind trading your wallet for atmosphere.”
What to expect

I ordered a Screamin' Eagle (Thur) and it was so delicious. It was warm and well cooked. I also ordered an ice caramel macchiato. The price was acceptable. Though it was crowded, the atmosphere was nice.
Excellent on campus space for meals, coffee and conversation.
Foods are decent, but very expensive!
Great sandwiches, good coffee, high prices. Exactly the kind of college, chill atmosphere you would expect.
