A busy place for brunch in Mission Hill! If you are going for a weekend brunch, there will…read moredefinitely be a wait - my friend and I waited about 20 to 30 minutes for a table on a Sunday at around 11:00. But I do think the wait is worth! We split the berry pancakes and the two eggs any style and chose bacon as the breakfast meat. Well-executed, but my socks were not blown off! Perhaps I need to try some of their more innovative dishes, I would love to come back and try their shakshuka. At Milkweed, the service is quick and simple. We sat outside so can't speak for the inside ambiance but it was great getting some vitamin D in before winter kicks in.

For nearly $55 for two people I expected better than bad service, pitiful portion sizes, no drinks…read moreand no sides. I am disappointed, from the very start to the end my experience was quite bad. The kitchen did not allow a bread substitution for the sandwich we ordered, they did not do waffles at this location either, and when we got our food the portion sizes were very small. The salmon was very overpriced for how much they offered; $27 for a piece of salmon only a few inches across was insulting, but apparently that is just how it is served there (picture below, you can see the pieces of broccoli are almost as big as the fish!) The other dish we got was the chicken sandwich, which is cut into two halves. The first half was normal but there was basically no chicken on the second half of the sandwich, it was essentially all bread. We brought it up to a manager and they got us a new piece of chicken, which fit entirely alongside the old piece of chicken on the bun because it was so small. On top of that we had to wait around nearly half an hour after finishing and had to flag down a waiter to get our check and go. The service overall was very slow. I will never come back to this restaurant.

Not somewhere I would necessarily go for "vibes" but that just shows that the food speaks for itself Food: if I had to describe cafe weekend in a sentence, it's basically "a Korean's take on an American cafe". There's a subtle touch of Korean flavor and aesthetic in each item, like how the desserts aren't too overpoweringly saccharine and the Drop the Egg brioche sandwich has that mix savory/sweet that Koreans love. I personally loooved the very berry mascarpone French toast, and I'm not even a dessert person! Nothing was too oily or under seasoned. The food is definitely the highlight of this place! Service: The waitress checked on us a couple times to make sure things were running smoothly and she made great food recommendations which I loved.

Such a cute brunch place. Plus the food & drinks were good!…read more Ordered the shakshouka -- had the right amount of spiciness, and lots of tomatoes. A bit more on the watery end, but I still enjoyed it (this might be more of a preference thing). Good portions (I was definitely full, and my friend couldn't even finish her omelette lol). Also ordered the weekend latte -- it felt too creamy, milky, and "specialty" to be a proper coffee drink (ended up needing to buy Starbucks later on in the day), but still very yummy (so it's more of a fun drink). Heard the matcha was too sweet btw. ~$30pp, so it's a bit steeper for a brunch place, but def worth it.

The pancakes were so well made and I normally dislike thicker pancakes. The service was very accommodating to the items on the menu on excluding or including small things which was pleasant. The art and the vibe all over this place and its branding also add to the good feels of this place. Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to try to get a reservation or put my name down to accommodate for the wait time, this place was a hit.

One of the best breakfast I had in town! True to its name, this place is cozy indeed. The space is…read morevery small, so I wouldn't be surprised that there would usually be a wait. But we got lucky and we were promptly seated at the counter. I had the classic breakfast plate with bacon, sausage, home fries, and fried eggs. Everything was very delicious. The bacon just had the right level of crisp to it. It looks like there are quite a few long time customers to this place, which demonstrates that the quality of the food here is probably very consistent. The service here was awesome. The manager lady (her name is Regina) was very attentive, warm, and friendly. The ambiance overall like I said is very cozy. I always enjoy a good home made breakfast in a small diner. One thing to note that is that this place is cash only.

We actually went on a Friday morning, but the server told us the menu is the same, they were just less busy. We did make a reservation, and for the weekend it may be needed. They have a great spritz list for brunch, and both breakfast/brunch as well as lunch options. Some of the plates are quite large, and could be shared, but they have a few lighter options. And oh, the hash browns! This was one of my favorite things I ate on our trip to Boston. Crispy outside, the right soft potato inside, and buttery without being greasy. Everything else was very good, I had the breakfast BLT, but it will be the potatoes that would bring me back.

The smell of bacon was too good to keep moving past it and we decided to head inside. Best happy accident!! Any place that has staff wearing shirts that say "Stoked for yolks" and has an array of pig decor- jackpot! The small menu was deliciously stacked with breakfast and lunch options; the griddle was sizzling, there's a drink fridge, and a spot to stand and consume. My husband got a turkey and I did a ruby melt; SO GOOD! I perused the menu, and the breakfast options all looked incredible! If you find yourself on this end of Tremont and you smell amazing bacon, follow your nose to Mike and Patty's - you will not be disappointed! Also, staff was super friendly! This place is a total package!

There's a small park with shaded benches about 2 blocks away (Elliot Norton Park) which is a great place to sit down and devour the food. I ordered the Mission Breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!

Interesting restaurant…read more Probably among the best on Newbury Street for patio dining- huge, unobstructed views, great to see and be seen. But I think it has a bit of an identity crisis. I'm not sure what makes it as Mediterranean as its description, as I've been to tons of Mediterranean places around the world, and they're usually obvious. For Eva? I dunno. Maybe the access to more Mediterranean type sunlight in the summer? Anyway, service is friendly, but could use some training. I never find it useful when staff tell me certain dishes are "good" and "their favorite". I appreciate the sentiment, but a little more description would be good. What's the flavor like? Why is your calamari unique? etc, etc. I had the Tuna Tartare and Calamari for appies. The tuna was decent, but no real character. I eat this daily in LA and Vegas, and almost every restaurant has their unique twist. Eva's is decent, but vanilla. The calamari is as good as expected for Boston- a city I consider as among the best in the country for this dish. You'd be surprised how many cities (even Los Angeles) can't get it right for such a simple recipe. Eva represents. I like that. The tuna sandwich was a disappointment. I love seared rare tuna sandwiches- something the West coast has mastered- but here, the bread overpowered the tuna. In fact, I don't think I was able to actually taste it. It reminded me of my first date with the hottest cheerleader in highschool, who turned out to be the worst kisser ever. Her name was Susan. I think i'll rename their tuna sandwich "Susan". I'd rather you add a couple more bucks to the price, and pump up the tuna, then ever re-order this disappointment. I'm willing to come back and try other menu items, but only if someone else invites me.
