My review is 3.5 but bumping it up for service and donuts. I was visiting my friend in Brighton when he suggested we grab breakfast here; he's a regular. I got the pancakes/eggs/potatoes/meat combo but they were willing to swap out the meat for toast as I'm a vegetarian. I was happy they were up for that as the menu says no substitutions. My friend got the garlic, broccoli, and cheese omelet. My food was fine, nothing too special, although I did find a sizeable eggshell in my food which put me off finishing the eggs. My pancakes weren't very fluffy but still good, and the potatoes weren't as crispy as I'd asked for. The service was great though. It wasn't busy so they were prompt, but not on top of us. They were very friendly and personable. Our meal was really well-priced, especially for Boston, which was great. And the donuts. They have a full display case of fresh donuts that just call out to you. My friend got a chocolate glazed and I got a honey dip and a bowtie. They smelled incredible and tasted even better. I'd go back, but maybe examine my eggs a bit more before eating.

This place has good donuts! They must be fresh made in the store because they are way better than dunkin or even some of those fancy donuts spots that have popped up recently. Bravo.

I happened to be in the city and was looking for a breakfast place. It looked crowded inside, which is always a good sign. They have hot breakfast meals to sandwiches, and you can get donuts. They also have lunch. The service was very good, I got hot coffee with an egg and cheese on an English muffin. They don't have a parking lot, so you have to find street parking which there is lots of. I found this is a local family business, which I am happy to come to. I would recommend it.

Ordered the Irish breakfast. Decent price, given how expensive food is in general these days.The home fries were almost inedible. Barely cooked. They tasted like they were boiled and then hastily thrown into a pan to get the slightest amount of color. The rest of the meal was just ok, although the beans were very watery.Might be a good place for a breakfast sandwich or a quick pastry though. And the service was quite nice.

One of the few authentic dive diners left. I have not tried the seemingly amazing donut selection, but I went searching for a good BLT, and I found it here. The best, real BLT on perfectly toasted white bread with just the right amount of mayo applied at the right time, with iceberg, tomato and perfect bacon. Since the BLT was so good, I have switched it up for a turkey club, which is prepared similarly but with a third piece of bread and turkey, iceberg, tomato, bacon on perfectly toasted American white bread. I have been getting these to go ever couple of weeks for about 6 months and their consistency is flawless.

This cafe is the definition of amazing people and amazing food. They have my roommates and I’s orders memorized and always are so prompt with their service. Truly the definition of a small business that deserves attention and support from our community.

The food is phenomenal the prices are not over charging!! The staff is awesome. I've come about 4 times already and I just can't get over it!! I highly recommend!!!
Amazing spot! Very kind and genuine, laid back employees who seem to be enjoying themselves. Retro feel inside really takes me back to childhood breakfast joints with my family. The food was alright, certainly not amazing, but for the price it was 12/10 stars! I’m so glad this restaurant exists and I’ll be coming back.
