Waltham, MA food page
This is a list of businesses frequented by the editors of the
Waltham Community Web. As you will see, we favor
locally run businesses over mega-chains, but sometimes
there is no choice.
- Food stores
- The best, freshest locally grown produce is available at the
Waltham Farmers Market, but only
on Saturdays from June to October.
- Waltham Fields Community Farm has a great CSA program,
and donates a lot of food to local charities.
Russo's, in Watertown, closed in 2021. Some people in Waltham, Newton and Watertown
are hoping to open a store with similar products. Check out Charles River Food Co-op.
- Hannaford is at 836 Main Street (781-893-6776)
where Victory Supermarket used to be, where Shaw's used to be, where the Waltham Supermarket
(see scan of logo from shopping bag)
used to be.
- Market Basket at
Market Place Drive, is Waltham's largest and busiest supermarket.
- Wagon Wheel is just over the line in Lexington, and has
a good lineup of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as a deli with great sandwhiches, and a good garden department.
- Restaurants
- Gustazo on Moody Street has great small plates and entrees of Cuban cuisine.
- Brelundi on Crescent Street has a good reasonably priced Italian menu,
and a nice outdoor patio overlooking the Charles.
