Philip Tellis: Great french toast.
Anu Sharma: Don't forget to try their fresh berry stuffed French toast with strawberry mascarpone and sweet cream :)
tereeses: Best brunch spot in Boston. Definitely New York-worthy if you're looking for brunch places similar to NYC. Their French toast, lattes, and kitchen sampler are amazing. #brunch #breakfast #coffeeart
David B: Lobster sandwich (on buttered toast, not a roll) is about 99% lobster. So good! Steamed clams are great as well
Robb Fitzsimmons: Hidden a block away from the river between two houses. Excellent lobster roll (technically a sandwich, on buttered, toasted bread), light on the mayo. Picnic tables, no frills - just very, very fresh.
Jenny: The lobster roll here is actually a lobster sandwich, between two slices of toasted bread, and it's pretty delicious! Stuffed with lobster, not doused in mayo, comes with Cape Cod chips.

GourmetLive: Food blogger Amanda of Pickles & Honey recommends Veggie Galaxy. "Try the vegetable tofu scrambles, tempeh bacon, and vegan banana-nut-stuffed French toast."
Kayla Walkling: Kendall square burger, always and forever. You also can't go wrong with the rosemary fries or stuffed french toast. Always divine.
John Bryan: Vegan stuffed French toast. 'Nuff said.
Noelle O'Brien: The juices are great and the avocado toast is average. The vibe inside is amazing - so warm and cozy. Coffee sizes are perfect. Great place for a latte and a book.
Agata Wisniowska: Cozy, great avocado toast, smoothies and artisan deserts
Linda Gómez: Best Espresso around!!! Delicious, healthy and comfortable food. Very nice staff and ambiance! I will definitely go back!

New American Restaurant · Harvard Square · 164 tips and reviews
Ha Diem: Definitely try the charred chicken hearts & foie gras custard with quail egg, snail vinaigrette and croissant toast! Soooo good.
Morgan McKee: They call it shared plates, but bring an eater if you go that direction. Definitely try the crab, avocado toast and get come sweets as well. Pancakes are delicious!
Bridget Gael: LOVED EVERYTHING! Great bourbon spiced cocktail, chicken fried rabbit, buratta w pumpkin toast
Arpi Tavil-Shatelyan: Avocado toast is incredible. Definitely worth the price!
Brendon Smith: There is a surprising dearth of specialty coffee in Harvard Square, so this Blue Bottle location is a welcome addition. Enjoy one of the excellent made-to-order drinks in a bright, harmonious space.
Daryl Pritchard: Even after being purchased by Nestlé they still make a consistently good cup of coffee.

New American Restaurant · Mid-Cambridge · 29 tips and reviews
Morgan McKee: Not a super crowded brunch scene, but so many good things to say about this place. From the seafood to the savory (get the French toast) doing brunch very well.
Jesse T: The smoked whitefish pizza is a delicious affront to traditional Italian food. With fried capers, mascarpone, dill, and an everything-bagel crust, it's easy to forget that you're eating a pizza.
Rheya Shano: Really really great! Cool ambiance, great service, and terrific food, all of the dishes we tried were great examples of creative combinations that work out beautifully!

Derek Wilson: Farmers Cheese with pickled veg and pumpernickel toast drizzed with honey and chive was amazing simple and delicious.
Dan Roberts: My favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The small plates are the best. Get the swordfish pastrami with mustard ice cream. The potato bread is addicting, we usually get upwards of three rounds ...
Eater: The single most essential Boston restaurant of the moment, in that here chef-owner Will Gilson is more thoroughly tackling a fresh perspective on New England cuisine than anywhere else in the world.
susan zellmann-rohrer: Toast, toast and more toast for breakfast. The cinnamon raisin bread is magnificent.
Ed Sng: Excellent $$ sandwich. The Jeneric is thick smokey pork goodness in house-made crunchy baguette. Iced coffee and cookie also top notch. My 1st time here but will be back.
John Haydon: Breakfast sandwiches are a bit expensive, but very much worth the spend.
Nahdahleena C: French toast sticks were excellent. The brunch entrees not so much. Half the menu, which was small to begin with, was not available. All our food was cold. However service was nice.
Chris Patti: This place has superb pub grub - the roast chicken is my personal fave, and a great beer selection! They always have beer from Honest Weight, a western MA brewery you don't see much in Boston!
Allison D.: Go with the small plates because they are all delicious. Smile at your cute server a lot (your server will be cute - everyone who works here is attractive).

Matthew Spector: Outstanding addition to Central Square. Get the monkfish biryani and the little gems salad. Clam toast and the tuna tartare are stellar.
Matt Opsahl: The Grapefruit cocktail is the nectar of gods. Little Gem Salad, Manti and Cookie Dough great. Must return to try Raw bar / ceviche next time. This place is amazing.
Max: Really great fusion tapas. The raw bar has some rare items and there is a Portugal vibe throughout the menu.
