Always good and healthy options. The baked goods are good and varied. Nice neighborhood spot

There are a lot of upsides here, food is good fresh seems healthy. Problem is the fees keep getting out way out of control. They don't list the prices of much either so they can get you on the charges. A cookie will be $4 but add on all the fees and it comes out to $5 and don't forget to tip on top of that! Got a coffee and a French toast and it turned into $22. This isn't Manhattan. Also If you order any food at all be prepared to wait a good 30-45 minutes even when it's slow.

@joyce K maybe go to your local chain Starbucks or Dennys where all the food is wrapped in plastic and people wear gloves. Sounds more up your alley. Plus you can yell at your Server directly from your spacious table when they give you unwarranted cheese, rather than find out after you drive all the way home. Poor you :) All jokes aside I really liked this place. Love the labneh and Turkish eggs. The eco conscious etiquette is rare in Boston, so happy to see when someone prioritizes environmental sustainability over convenience and speed.

Place is cute and small. Employees are nice. But $15 for this sandwich is INSANE. I can get a bigger healthier breakfast option at Paris Creperie.

Neighborhood gem. Great people, delicious fresh food. Love the frozen meal options.

A place for delicious food and good conversation. Delicious "soups" which are actually whole meals (e.f. Chicken dumpling soup also includes carrots, celery, fresh chives and thyme leaves, lots of chicken in a deep bowl with a side of toasted sour dough brushed with olive oil ); amazing salads and sandwiches (a veg banh mi to die for); many desserts and cookies; an espresso bar. A gracious brilliant sensitive often hands on owner. Frozen meals for takeout. Friendly crowd.

What a charm Rifrullo is in this neighborhood! It has been my favorite café for years. If you are looking for a local amiable place with incredibly delicious food, amazingly friendly staff, as well as irresistibly cozy atmosphere, don't miss this place. Honestly speaking, it's competitive to find ideal seating occasionally, but how could you blame a spectacular and popular café for having not enough seating.

Really great food. Counter service but poorly organized/arranged. Sunday brunch was a little busy and crowded (but got a seat quickly) and a little loud, with poor acoustics.

I live in the old brick building on the corner of Rte 9 n Cypress. My BF and I went for breakfast. It cost over $40.00 and we left hungry.

Purchased a too good to go back for a value of $12 and received one slice of banana bread and a few broken pieces from another one. Well, that's embarrassing. Cheating customers for a few dollars? Also, serving crumbles and call that service just shows how much this place cares about presentation or service, which is equal to zero. Won't be going back there.

What a piece of garbage. Imagine being lactose intolerant and explicitly saying no cheese. Then waiting 45 minutes to 1 hour for someone to bring out a sandwich labeled "NO CHEESE." Lo and behold, the sandwich is filled with cheese. Cannot fathom
