I've been coming to Cafe Weekend for coffee for a while now -- the Einspänner is still my go-to and never disappoints. Finally made it in early enough to try the food since it's usually packed. Be warned: the menu is a lot. It's slightly overwhelming at first and the portion sizes aren't super clear. The space is also pretty tight -- they've definitely maximized seating -- so it feels cramped when it's busy. Service had that subtle "we need this table back" energy. Not outright rushing, but you can feel the turnover pace. Food-wise, the specialties looked massive, so we ordered less of those and opted for sides instead... which somehow ended up being even more food than we expected. Portions are generous. Everything was good and solid, nothing mind-blowing, but I appreciated that it wasn't greasy. The hashbrowns were a standout -- more reminiscent of a Jewish potato latke than your typical diner hashbrown, and absolutely worth ordering. Overall: great coffee, solid breakfast, big portions. Come early, eat efficiently, and you'll enjoy it.
This place is really good! I think the people who own it are Korean, but the food is all pretty typical American fare. It's good! The eggs Benedict was perfect and the combo of English muffin and Canadian bacon was perfect. The service was nice too. The citronnade was really perfect for a hot day. My partner enjoyed his caprese sandwich a lot. The food was overall simple but well done!
Really solid breakfast overall and definitely a place I'd come back to. The pancake was unique and super fluffy, easily one of the highlights of the meal. On the weekend special, the portion size was generous, especially with the amount of meat included. Tons of bacon, sausage, and ham, which made it feel like a great value. The eggs were supposed to be over easy but a little less runny than i would've liked. The drop the eggs sandwich came with nice fluffy eggs and paired really well with the special sauce, which was sweet and delicious. The weekend latte was excellent. Tasted like it was 1000 calories in the best way possible The only downside was the potatoes. They were pretty hard and lacked seasoning and flavor, which stood out compared to how strong everything else was. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with a few standout items and just a small miss on the side. Definitely worth checking out, especially for brunch.
I was looking for Brunch restaurants in Boston and came across Cafe Weekend. Me and my fiancé got lucky to get a table for 2 within 2 minutes. This cafe is small but nicely decorated. From the drink to the food, everything looked good. I ordered the Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Pancakes, Home Fries and Bacon. 10/10 on everything. The fresh Strawberries on the Pancakes were delicious. If we lived here, we would come every week!
Great customer service! When we mentioned it was our first visit, they happily recommended a few dishes. Pictured here is the **Drop the Egg**, which was delicious--definitely on the spicier side if you enjoy a bit of heat. I also ordered the **Western Omelette**, which was hearty and very satisfying, perfect if you're looking for something more filling.
This is a casual food spot that is a popular brunch spot. Even on a weekday, it gets quite crowded here. The staff were nice to us and allowed us to move to a table once someone left but this place is seriously small that I would say a party of 2 ppl is the max I would be comfortable with here. I got a hash brown sandwich and it is everything you can ask for in a carb heavy brunch item. Although it is mostly savory, it was a nice touch of sweetness in the sauce and bread that breaks up the saltiness. Drinks wise, both my friend and I were not a fan. They were pretty basic with nothing special about them and could've done without them. Matcha latte was super sweet and is not made with great matcha.
What a cute spot! Wow! This past Sunday myself and 2 friends decided to get some brunch. We arrived around 11 am to see a group of 15 or so people waiting around outside. I popped in and adding us to the waitlist through the kiosk. There were 17 parties ahead of us and it took about 40 minutes to get a text that we were ready to be seated. The inside is decorated well given the small size. What it lacks in space it makes up for in vibes, however! The menu was perfectly extensive, large but not TOO large. Sometimes diner menus can be a bit overwhelming and this wasn't the case. My crew struggled between the sweet and savory route so ended up going with both, duh. We split an order of the soufflé style nutella and banana pancakes for $16. They were thick, crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. The bananas were ripe and sweet. There was the perfect amount of nutella and powdered sugar. 12/10. 6 stars. I then got the avocado toast with a poached egg. Typically avocado toast is not worth the price, which was $14 in this case, but Cafe Weekend knows how to give you your money's worth. The slice of toast was practically the size of the plate and there had to have been 2 avocados on there in terms of the spread. The arugula parmasean side salad was a great touch. My poached egg was cooked to perfection, although I wish I had a second given the size of the toast. Now I know! I would wait 40 minutes any day to eat here! Worth every minute/penny.
This cafe is unlike any other I've been to--open from early in the morning to late at night, they serve up a variety of dishes and drinks perfect for any time of day. Not to mention, their popular breakfast menu is served all night long!! Pancakes for dinner? Yes please! As a college student, this spot has been on my radar for a long time for obvious reasons. Although I tried to go for breakfast once and they were absolutely packed, finally getting the chance to go for dinner was lovely! The vibes at night are chill and calming as can be, so you can enjoy a focused and relaxing comfort meal ranging from pastas to burgers and all filled with a korean inspired spin on classic favorites. Additionally, the service is incredibly warm and accommodating, really making you feel right at home. While their dinner was great (I genuinely have no complaints about the flavors or quality at all), at the same time, it didn't blow me completely away. The burger had a unique sweet kbbq sauce that was amazing, and the toowoomba pasta was a special blend of tasty alfredo with a spicy twist. However, I will say, everything sat very heavy in my stomach, so this is definitely a dinner to share or one to enjoy when you're really feeling hungry. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the overall dining experience here which was unlike any other. For the atmosphere alone, I'm already planning to come back, and of course it helps that their food is as crave-worthy as it is. Overall, if you're curious about the dinner I'd certainly give it a try (you won't be disappointed), but my plan is to come for breakfast or lunch next time because I'm going to guess (since it's what their known for) that it's even better!
I love exploring new brunch places as it's my favorite meal of the day! There's a bit of a wait over the weekend but not too bad. The place itself is small and the bathroom is located in the downstairs basement (be careful of going down the stairs). Weekend Special - pretty standard Savory Bomb on the bagel - too creamy, very heavy Blueberry Pancakes - pancakes were soggy Weekend Latte - standard iced coffee I regret not ordering the shakshuka, however I can't justify driving into this neighborhood just to wait in line for weekend brunch.
Lovely brunch spot in good old Allston! It's small diner place but fits tons of people - and table turns fast like Korean style! The service was attentive and fast, understand that it is super busy but they will try their best to serve you :) When we visited during busy Saturday noon, we put our name into kisok thing and got notification that our seats were ready in about 5 mins! We ordered - Egg and cheese sandwich: sponge bread with fries egg and cheddar cheese, yum - Pancakes (original): soufflé style, also delish - Blueberrry and cream cheese croffle: good but wish cream cheese was melty, we might try nutella one next time! Overall, it was great experience and we'd def comeback!! Also they have dinner menu which I didn't know, can't wait to try their pasta
The service was fantastic, really friendly staff. The place is small, there are high tables, sit down tables, and a counter that faces the open kitchen. We ordered a sandwich plate, the shakshuka, and a croque madame. drinks were a couple the weekend latte. sandwich was served with house potato. The bun on the sandwich listened with generous servings of butter. The potatoes were fried to crispy the house sauce was tasty. the shakshuka, as someone else mentioned, is a dish from canned goods. The flavor is there, the freshness is not present, and that makes a huge difference on the overall plate. the croque madame is a typical ham and cheese sandwich with a sunny side up egg on top. the weekend latte was rich and creamy, the coffee in it was strong. overall it's a good place. the food is cooked right. the service is friendly. looking to try the pancakes on the next visit.
Best breakfast spot--they really do make every day feel like a weekend. We went on a Tuesday before heading to the airport and after reading the reviews. The cafe was small and homey feeling it was really cozy. The staff was so friendly and helpful with us deciding which croffle to try. It was fabulous!! The weekend latte was so delicious and flavorful it was a perfect morning treat! We started with the blueberry croffle ( delicious would get again. My husband got a sausage egg and cheese with two hash browns it was ginormous but he really enjoyed it. I had the drop the eggs and couldn't recommend enough!! It was amazing!! The bacon was thicker and high quality, the eggs were fluffy, and the sauce really just was life changing. Would pay for the recipe to have it everyday!

Foods were really good! Can't go wrong with any choice! Service was great as well. Dining area was nice. Just go somewhere else for the bathroom lol read more
I was looking for a spot to have brunch with my cousin and I couldn't resist when I saw the fluffy Japanese-style pancakes. My first impression of Cafe Weekend was, "Wow, the interior is so nice! I wish we had more cafes like this around here." It isn't very large, but the smaller size offered a more intimate, cozy feel. The service was also quick considering how busy it was on the Saturday morning I came. I ordered the nutella banana pancakes and I thought they were delicious, I loved the fluffy texture, and the portion size was good, but I probably wouldn't come here all the time for $13 pancakes. I also enjoyed the matcha einspanner and appreciated that it was the perfect sweetness. I was not a huge fan of the croffle, however. It tasted slightly burnt -- probably from the caramel -- and I didn't really like the texture. I also wished there was more cookie on top. read more

We came here for brunch with our babies. Cafe Weekend is a small cafe so we weren't sure if they would be able to accommodate our strollers. We were seated with high chairs and given a place to stash our strollers which was much appreciated. We were waited on right away. After we placed our orders, food came maybe 15 minutes later which was perfect timing. The food was delicious! I ordered the 3 eggs any stlyle. I chose omelette style which my request was accommodated to my delight. We also ordered blueberry pancakes for the table. Did I mention the food was delicious? The blueberry pancakes were made Japanese style- fluffy, poofy, and has a lovely buttery crisp to them. The blueberry reduction on top of the cakes was a lovely surprise. But, my favorite part of lunch was when staff accommodated our bathroom request and led us through their kitchen to the downstairs bathroom. What incredible service- thank you so much Cafe Weekend! read more

I dream of the Nutella croffle. The coffee is also very good. The portions are generous as well. I like the overall look of the restaurant. It's very clean and welcoming. read more

Such a cute little cafe in Allston!! The crowds are wild on the weekends and we waited for nearly an hour for a table (and service is quite slow which doesn't help) but if you live nearby I'd def recommend so you have someplace else to wait. They serve an Asian-inspired Western cuisine with fun dishes such as croffles and fancy french toasts and sauces sandwiches. I got a shrimp sandwich, a latte and a croffle and absolutely loved everything. The croffle was flakey and not too dense, maintaining a solid croissant integrity but having the nice crisp exterior of a waffle; the sandwich had a nice creamy sauce with shrimp layered on a thin sandwich bread; the latte was sweet and absolutely hit the spot. read more

Super cute little shop. Coffee was great. Breakfast Sammy was fire! Didn't look like much. But it hit the spot hard. The croffle was nice but not my favorite. I get the appeal, but maybe cooked a bit too long. Shakshuka was pretty bomb. Didn't need the sour cream. But bomb. Maybe give some more toast with it. Smoked salmon Sammy was ok. Not my favorite. It didn't feel cohesive as a dish. Felt like it was missing a few things. But overall fine. I had a great experience though! Would definitely come again. read more

Came back again for their new dinner menu and it does not disappoint! I got the shrimp sandwich with fries and love it! The bun was toasted and the sandwich had a thousand island-like sauce. I would come back again to try the pasta. read more

Let me just preface by saying, I am not a breakfast/brunch person at all. I normally skip breakfast and just eat lunch. I also typically would never bring up going to breakfast spots when deciding what to eat, but Cafe Weekend is the only place that can convince me to eat breakfast; ITS SO GOOD! My favorite dish that I have to get every time is the Shakshuka. It is seasoned perfectly and I definitely recommend getting the shaksuka if you want something saucy, has a slight kick, and filling! The runny eggs gets me every time. I do wish that they offered more slices of toast to dip for it though. The soufflé pancakes are a great choice and, by the way, much better than regular pancakes. I usually get the strawberry pancakes or chocolate chip. The french toast is EVERYTHING! The very berry mascarpone is not too sweet and has a nice fluff to it. I have yet to have a bad meal here or anything off the menu that was not good. I do think that the coffee could be better but aside from that, everything else offered on the menu is amazing! read more
Came here for Sunday brunch and it was packed! Parking can be a bit tricky but we got lucky and snagged a spot right outside. The wait was around 30 minutes at 12:45 pm, and we were seated at the bar. Service was kind and I did appreciate that they let me know my sandwich already came with home fries since they saw I ordered a side of regular fries so that I didn't end up with fry overload! I got the weekend sandwich and my friend got the shakshuka. The sandwich was pretty good, although the bread was a little bit soggy, and the home fries were yummy. The shakshuka was delicious, and we also got a s'mores croffle to share which was a sweet way to end the meal. read more
This brunch nook in Allston is so cute! Came here on a weekday with a friend for some light eats and we got the Nutella Banana Pancakes, Blueberry Cream Cheese Croffle (not pictured), Drip Coffee, and Matcha Latte. Overall, the quality of the food was good, but could be improved. I loved the density of the pancakes, but felt like the Nutella was a bit overpowering at times. The croffle was soooo good, but similarly felt like the cream cheese was a bit overpowering at times. Would definitely come back to try other items on the menu! read more
Very busy on the weekends for brunch! We got the drop the egg sandwich and the chocolate chip pancakes. Also got a free weekend latte with posting a review! Overall pretty good. Best thing about this place was the service! Everyone was super nice and efficient. Regarding food: - Drop the egg: it tasted a little like a Chinese BBQ pork bun mixed with a breakfast sandwich! Pretty unique. Egg was very fluffy and soft. Worth trying and potentially if I'm craving an Asian style breakfast sandwich I'd come back for this - chocolate chip pancakes: I think they're going for the Japanese style fluffy pancakes here but they're not super jiggly and are more just crispy on outside and thicker. Not bad. Not as buttery taste as I usually like. Would probably skip this next time. - weekend latte: a lot of milk. Would like more coffee flavor. Overall not bad, glad I tried! read more
After seeing IG photos, I definitely wanted to try this brunch place. My friend and I came here three months ago. I ordered the strawberry pancakes and an iced matcha latte. The menu had a lot of interesting items but I was there for the pancakes. Unfortunately, the strawberry pancakes were a disappointment. It is definitely not fluffy and jiggly like the souffle pancakes I've had in Harajuku or Shinjuku. The homefries were also very hard. The iced matcha latte was creamy and good though. Even though my entree didn't meet my expectation, I do want to give this place another shot. read more

I've come here a lot since it opened and have gotten enough things to feel like I can write a fair review. My go-to is usually the Drop the Eggs sandwich. It soo decadent but so good and is good for sharing if you order another thing. Home fries are generally crispy but sometimes they could be more consistent. Fig Prosciutto Panini is alright, but I kinda wish there was actual fig or more fig jam. I'm not a fan of their arugula salad because the cheese it comes with is extra stinky lol. Kinda wish there were other options for vegetables as sides. The Toowoomba Panini is probably the most decadent thing I've had from here and is guaranteed to destroy your stomach if you're lactose intolerant. It's quite messy but it's a good option if you like shrimp and mushrooms and bread and dairy. Eggs Benedict is p standard. Good. I get it when idk what else to order. Strawberry milk is yummy. It's not too sweet and they use real strawberries. The downside is they don't substitute it with non-dairy milk. Sometimes I get it to go and add matcha at home to make it a strawberry matcha latte. Berry French toast is filling. Not too sweet but still sweet. Comes with three slices of toast and some berries. Definitely a sharing size. Croque Madame is one of my faves (probably second to the Drop the Eggs). I got it with an extra egg. It didn't feel too heavy. Croffles are good. Not too sweet. Wish the edges were a little crispier but I'd get them again. Caprese Panini wasn't my fave. I think it came with a little more balsamic than I'd prefer which made the bread kinda soggy, but the bites that didn't have too much balsamic were good. A friend of mine got their Shakshuka which she said is good. Huge portion so it's good for sharing. Write a Google review for them and they'll give you a free coffee. The interior is modern and cute for pics. I like the vibes here more at night tbh. If you go when it's warm out you are p much guaranteed to encounter flies that are kinda annoying lol. No bathroom so go before coming here. Staff are always friendly and welcoming and food usually doesn't take too long to come out. read more

Really enjoyed the weekend latte, it sort of reminds me of Vietnamese coffee. The taro latte is also a winner here and I definitely recommend that. The croffle is good, it has an almost mochi like texture but I do think it's pricey for the size. The staff here is very nice and service is quick. Overall, a very nice, cozy little cafe. read more

Had super high expectations after reading the reviews, but this place is just alright. It's a cute brunch place with aesthetic food, but that's it. I ordered the an iced matcha latte and the blueberry pancakes. The matcha was tasty and the pancakes were good. Definitely great for taking pictures. The inside is on the small side so I totally understand why so many people had to wait in line to get in. I got lucky on a Sunday afternoon and the place was practically empty. The cleanliness really brought down the experience for me. I had some brown stuff floating around in my drink from a dirty cup so it gave me the impression that it's not clean inside. The huge flies everywhere didn't help. read more

Cafe Weekend was such a pleasant surprise in Allston! The small cafe is super cute on the inside, and was such a great spot for breakfast or lunch. Coming before 10 is a great way to beat the rush. I got a delicious iced latte, as well as the Drop the Eggs sandwich; the sandwich had a delicious spicy and sweet sauce that made it extra special. My partner had the Nutella banana French toast and some home fries. The French toast was such a great sweet breakfast option, and the little bit of sea salt on top added to the taste profile. Lastly, both of our meals had home fries, which were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Coupled with the friendly staff, will definitely be coming in again :) read more
A friendly brunch spot with good food and latte. There was a wait so come during off peak hour to avoid this. The place is small with open kitchen concept. It's crowded and loud so if you're looking for a quiet place, this isn't it. We tried the shakshuka and pancakes. Both were delish! read more
Great food, service was excellent, atmosphere is buzzing and though it happens to be really (and I mean REALLY) small you can sit rather quick and I found parking directly outside for a neighborhood that's typically hard to park in. The pancakes look amazing, light and fluffy although I like mine with a nice crispy edge these looked and I heard tasted great. I had a simple bagel with bacon spinach and cheese but the flavor was so good. The omelet looked pretty good. Overall I have no complaints at all. Great hidden gem, go try it for yourself read more
Looks unassuming from the outside, but the interior of Cafe Weekend is so cute! The staff is so pleasant and the food comes out quickly. Definitely recommend trying their Strawberry Pancakes! They were a hybrid of soufflé-pancakes and typical ones - soo good. Everything is affordable and delicious. I only wish I lived closer so I could come here all the time. read more

Delicious place for brunch! Definitely a hole-in-the-wall location in Allston, so it's very easy to miss. The aesthetic is really aesthically minimalistic and the place itself is very small, but the service is great. Our waitress sat us down very quickly and thanked us for coming to try the restaurant, which was so sweet. This place gets busy very quickly around breakfast/brunch so keep that in mind. In terms of price for food, they're really good for a Boston area brunch. Not to mention that the food is wonderful!! I got the Eggs Benedict which was amazing. The eggs were poached perfectly and the sauce was very creamy. It paired very well with the arugula salad on the side and the smoked salmon (extra, not usually included). I will say that the star of the show was the home fries. I tried some of the home fries that my friend got and wow. Best home fries I've ever had!! I've never fallen in love so fast. The home fries were so crispy and well seasoned. The potatoes were still soft on the inside even though the outside was nice and crunchy. The matcha latte was also delicious. Not too bitter and you could tell that they use good quality matcha. Overall, I am so excited to come back here again to try their pancakes and other items! read more
On a very hot day we decided to check this place out in Brighton. Honestly I came here because I read really good reviews about the breakfast and brunch. And I was very pleased to discover that all my fellow yelpers were right about this place. This is actually a very small and cute eatery and I ordered the Salmon Benedict. It came out perfectly and I enjoyed my matcha latte too.They also have a bunch of other items on the menu and different teas. It's very casual and it appeals to a lot of the young students who probably go to BU. read more

Very cute atmosphere. Feels like a brunch spot. QUICK service and fantastic drink options. I tried the matcha einspaner, the coffee einspaner (not very sweet) and the buttercream latte, the savory bomb on the bagel, the smoked salmon croissant and the french toasts (on two separate occasions with my boyfriend though we could probably finish it all in one go). All so delicious. I hope to make my way through the whole menu. read more
I'm actually obsessed with this place. Everything I've tried there is amazing and the people working there are so nice. It can be a bit crowded on weekends but definitely worth the wait. On weekdays it's more quiet and would be a great place to work from "home." When you go you have to try a croffle (croissant-waffle), it's great to split with someone for something sweet if you're getting a savory meal. The Drop the Eggs sandwich is unreal, it has some kind of sauce on it that makes me think about it for days after (not an exaggeration.) I've tried the French toast and smoked salmon sandwich too and they were both really good. read more
Came here on a Sunday morning and boy was the place packed - I'd definitely recommend coming earlier if you don't want to wait and you probably want to coordinate with your group to arrive on time as they only seat parties once they're all there. We had to wait longer because of this, which makes sense of course to not waste the restaurant's time, but it made for a longer wait period in the cold. We were seated as soon as we all arrived ( a party of 5 was probably harder to accommodate as well ) and service was quick to take our orders soon after so it wasn't too long before we were waiting for food. They didn't deliver food all at once which was a little weird. One person got their dish a full 15 minutes before the rest of our table got theirs so the food was a little cold by the time we were all ready to eat. Other than the timing issue there, the portion size and food itself was pretty satisfying. The shakshuka was honestly more like a chili than what I'd expect from the typical egg and tomato dish, which wasn't necessarily bad, but it's not what I really wanted. I also wish their was a little more bread to come with the dish itself. The drink I got was pretty delicious so no complaints there! The pancakes were amazing and fluffy too so I'd highly recommend trying those. Overall, I would say that my experience was not too bad, I just wish the timing of our food arriving was better as it kind of soured the whole experience. I also probably wouldn't get the shakshuka again, but I'd be happy to try some of their other egg dishes for brunch again sometime! read more

Great food and coffee drinks. I stopped in and tried the Shashuka and was very filling with 3 great meatballs, eggs, tons tomatoes etc... nice toasted dipping bread . Owner offered me a free weekend coffee latte drink as appeared was extra... Well that drink was coffee crack and now he made me an addict... I'm buying that anytime I am in area... Nice people , owners running this liquid coffee crack den. Next visit I'm trying the corella berry mascarpone dish which is croissant waffle or the French toast Monte Cristo and cheese stuffed ... all looks great here to try.. see the pics and you decide... read more

Nice aesthetic that doesn't quite deliver. Tried out their brunch, and it was good we arrived early because it's a relatively small spot that fills up quick! Everything about the store was very cute, and had very #instagrammable food, with trendy dishes and thought put into the presentation. However, the food itself left a fair amount to be desired on flavor, and the actual experience in the restaurant is a bit off putting--it's crowded, with the grilltop spilling out of the kitchen and up next to some tables, which compounds the effect of the lack of AC on a hot day. If you're going to give this spot a shot, choose a cold day and get your camera ready. read more
Came here for weekday brunch with my sister and had a wonderful experience. The service was friendly, fast, and efficient. We were seated very quickly upon arrival. The food was also delicious, fresh and piping hot! We ordered off of the weekday Happy Hour menu (saves a couple of bucks per dish) - we got the Western Omelette, the Egg Special, and shared the nutella banana pancake. Everything was so yummy! The portions were also quite large. My favorite was the Weekend Latte. Rich, deep coffee flavor mixed with heavy cream. Parking was also easy to find on the street as well. All in all, recommend and would come back again! read more

Cute place! The Japanese style fluffy pancakes and their more Asian style lattes are some standouts compared to other brunch places. Service was fast on a weekday AM and our waitress always had a smile on her face. Value is great on weekday AM breakfast happy hour, especially the Weekend Special. Everything came out hot and steamy but also quite toasted. Plenty of meters available for parking. Pretty busy with steady flow of customers even on a weekday morning. read more

Greeted with a smile and welcome as soon as you step in the door no matter how busy. We ordered two orders of the pancakes (what we came for) and sides of eggs and bacon. The pancakes were amazing. "It's like my grandmas flapjacks and a warm hug combined" I heard someone say. Cost restaurant with a great staff! read more

Came here around 9:30 on a Saturday as a party of two and were seated right away at one of the tables along the wall. We ordered a Chai Latte and a Weekend Latte, both of which I'd get again. For food I got the French Toast, which was light and fluffy and surprisingly filling. After passing by so many times, I'm glad we came. I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu. read more
*this review is for the croffles only* I was honestly very excited to try the croffles here because they advertised being the first croffle place in Boston, and I've had croffles in other places before and loved them. Croffles usually have a crispy exterior and warm buttery interior - makes for such a unique and great dessert, but not in this place. I was also excited because this place had great reviews and great pictures of their croffles too. I was massively disappointed with the croffle here. That doesn't even begin to describe my disappointment. I haven't been this disappointed since the ending of Game of Thrones. I paid $6.5+ for a matcha croffle that was STALE, hard as cardboard, with hardly any substance. Forget crispy and buttery - this felt like a few days old toast. I was honestly SHOCKED that they felt okay serving a COLD and STALE croffle. We ordered one to go and they brought it out in a minute - something that shouldn't be that fast... and I'm still in shock that they felt this was worthy of $6.50 and OK to give to a customer... Please take a good look at the picture of the croffle here - it is stale and flat and they knew that serving it to us. I am not often shocked by cafes but this really shocked me. Please PLEASE never serve other customers this kind of croffle. I am also not someone who likes to give bad reviews on Yelp because I don't want to hurt businesses but seriously this was not okay. A stale, cold, cardboard piece of croffle for $6.50 is never ok, but especially if you're marketing that you are the first croffle place in Boston. read more

The food here has always been great for me from the start. The staff are so so so friendly and make me feel welcomed right when I walk in! Overall a very nice place to vibe with friends and feel comfortable. The weekend latte is my favorite (it's their dalgona iced coffee). read more
My breakfast sandwich was ridiculously good. The brioche bun was so light and airy, the eggs were perfectly fluffy, and the sweet/spicy sauce tied it all together. I also got a taro latte - a little too sweet and made with powdered taro, but I am eager to try their other drinks read more
