    Veggie omelette, 3 Piece French Toast, Big 5 Breakfast Special

    We had the most AMAZING experience here two days in a ROW! Absolutely amazing food and big portions for very reasonable prices. The staff is so so sweet and it has a classic diner feel. Absolutely recommend this restaurant it was a highlight for us! We got the omelets that were filled with veggies and toppings and the French toast that was the best French toast ever! All the food that the tables around us got looked amazing as well! (Sandwiches and salads)

    My first time coming here and let me tell you the food is amazing cooked perfect and taste great as a Rhode Islander I approve

    Best breakfast spot in Brighton, hands-down coming from a Rhode Islander who tried more the 7-8 breakfast spots from newtons to Brighton

    BLT Sandwich and Thai Iced Tea
    Julia M.

    THE BEST BREAKFAST CAFE! I recommend the BLT for something light and the thai iced tea is good too. The prices are very reasonable and affordable

    Best grilled chicken on Greek salad! If you love breakfast and quick lunch this place is great place to make your tummy happy.

    Veggie Omelette-comes with toast and home fries!

    Perfect for a late Saturday brunch after sleeping in after a long week of work! I know brunch can be quite an affair- but the good thing about this is place is that you can literally wake up, put on a jacket, and head on over for some good food for cheap prices (and I mean CHEAP.) I had the veggie omelette, which came with a couple pieces of toast and generous serving of homefries. Definitely not the most delicious thing I have ever eaten, but definitely hit the spot for only $9 (what a deal!!!). I really liked that the veggie omelette included a generous amount of broccoli--not many places that I have been to put broccoli in their veggie omelettes and the fact that they put a whole lot of it was an added plus for me. Brighton Café is not the type of brunch place you'd dress up for to meet up with your girlfriends for some mimosas, but it is definitely a solid spot if you're looking for something quick, easy, and cheap (talk about my kind of brunch!!). The service is prompt and the staff are accommodating--thus, making this one of my go-to places for breakfast/brunch in the area!

    Steak & Eggs, Chicken Tenders, and Irish Breakfast -- i know, we went all out!!

    Absolutely delicious, quick, and worth it. So happy we decided to come here for breakfast. The place may look less aesthetically pleasing compared to your typical fancy & overpriced brunch bar around the neighborhood, but the food simply hits the right spot without draining your bank account. I will definitely come back here for whenever I crave a champion-style breakfast.

    I'm a big fan of buying local, and I'm always down for a good "greasy spoon" diner. I found myself in the area with a lot of time to kill early on a weekday and Googled breakfast spots near me. Brighton Cafe had the look of a good diner style spot, and got pretty good reviews. I really wanted to love this place, but it just felt like a bit of a miss overall. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette with a side of bacon and a cup of coffee. Omelette was dry, and had some sort of white American cheese in it, which wasn't that appetizing. Home fries weren't really cooked much - I expected to see some sort of griddle char or something on them, but they were pale and coated in some sort of seasoning that wasn't very good - maybe they were microwaved? But, hey, service was pleasant, coffee was hot, and I ate most of what I was served (left the home fries). They had a steady trickle of customers ordering coffee and takeout breakfast sandwiches (not many dine-in patrons), so clearly this is a regular spot for many in the area. It just left me wanting more. I probably won't come back, but mostly just because I'll not likely be in this area with extra time to kill for breakfast again.

Our server was very welcoming and able to provide us with great insights into the menu. The cocktails were refreshing and tasty. I ordered a 'Spill the Tea' with gin and my husband ordered the matcha colada. I'd love to come back and try more out! As for food, we ordered the mini beef wellington, the banh mi & bone marrow, the curry chicken, and the loco moco. I loved the variety of dishes on the menu and was super impressed by the execution of all of them. They were very flavorful and cooked to perfection, with the mini beef wellington having crispy puff pastry and the bone marrow very tender. Overall, I was impressed by Esmai's creativity and would love to come back to try out more of the menu.

I ordered the fig prosciutto panini, which was admittedly smaller than what I was expecting but delicious for breakfast. Coffee saved me from my early morning flight too-- effective and tasty. I think my only knock was that I'd have hoped my particular dish was a bit more generous in portioning, but given a look at the other things my friends ordered, this looks like it's not necessarily the norm across dishes. Great quick bite-- parking is pretty easy on this street in the morning too, so I'd recommend!
