" Cafe Landwer caught my eye while visiting back bay, and I'm glad I stopped in! The shakshuka I ordered was flavorful, but the eggs were slightly overcooked for my taste. The atmosphere was delightful. I look forward to returning to try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place to grab a bite! I loved their variety of fresh salads and Mediterranean dishes. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere upbeat. However, I felt rushed as our server was eager to take our plates away while we were still enjoying our meal. Next time, I’ll try to relax and enjoy the food longer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, my experience at Cafe Landwer did not live up to the expectations set by the reviews. My coffee was lukewarm, and the order took longer than anticipated. When it finally arrived, my avocado toast was underwhelming—bland and rather soggy. While the place has a nice vibe, I would hesitate to return based on food quality alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Cafe Landwer! I cannot get over how delightful their pastries are. The rugelach was memorable, and the service from our server Valentina was impeccable. She led us through the menu, which was filled with so many authentic Mediterranean treats. The atmosphere was perfect for a chill afternoon. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had brunch here recently and the food was quite good, but I found it a bit overpriced for what we received. My eggs were a bit bland, which was disappointing considering the rave reviews. The ambiance was really nice though, with lovely decor and a welcoming vibe. However, we did have to wait quite a while for our drinks. Overall, a decent experience but not as great as I had hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at Cafe Landwer. The service was attentive, but my meal lacked the character I expect from Mediterranean cuisine. The setup was inviting, but I wish the food didn’t suffer from blandness. I wouldn't mind trying it again, but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Cafe Landwer was a dud. I ordered a salad that turned out to be bland and mostly lettuce. The service was slow, and the prices seem too high for what you get. The only redeeming quality was the nice ambiance. I don't think I would rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
