Patch Picks: Free Public WiFi Spots in Newton

- This lovely West Newton café serves fresh baked goodies and an impressive array of coffees and teas, as well as breakfast, sandwiches and salads. They also offer live music from time to time, so you can turn off the sound on your computer and watch that funny cat video without the annoying soundtrack.

- In a perfect marriage of the modern and the traditional, at the library you can log on surrounded by thousands of volumes of printed texts. If a title or two catches your fancy, you can even download it to your e-reader. Don’t forget to check out Vanessa’s Café to indulge in that timeless pairing of wifi and caffeine.

- Inna’s Kitchen is the home of the unexpected. You might not think about having a knish or some matzo ball soup while you surfed the web, right? You also might not think you could find a delicious gluten free challah anywhere. But both of these unusual pairings –and more- are readily available at Inna’s in Newton Center.

– It’s actually no surprise that Bill’s is on the cutting edge of technology by offering free wifi. They were among the first Newton pizzerias to offer whole wheat crusts and gluten-free options, they were on to the cupcake trend long before some bakeries and they recognized that nothing goes together better than great homemade Greek and Italian food and connecting to the internet. Just be sure to get lots of napkins so you don’t destroy your keyboard.

– You might wonder why you ever want to actually leave Newton but sadly, sometimes you must bid farewell to our fair city. But that doesn’t mean you have to be disconnected from all that is going on in the world- or even what is going on here on Newton Patch! When you take the World Wide Bus from Riverside to New York City, you can take advantage of their free, onboard wifi for the entirety of your trip. Don’t forget to pick up a free bottle of water for your journey – surfing the web is thirsty work.
