Ball Square Cafe catered my son's grad party this past Friday night. Mike the owner/operator was…read moregreat to work with, friendly and knowledgeable. He made suggestions and calculated the proper amount of food with great pricing. He was professional, and delivered the food timely even though he had a difficult commute through the city. I ordered chicken parm, tremendous!! Good size cutlets and prepared perfectly! Chicken, ziti, broc was creamy and very tasty! Sausage, peppers and onions, a hit Meatballs were like Mom's. Took me back to her kitchen!! They were large and tender, really good. Thank you Mike for your service and great food. Third time we used you and every time was a great experience.

My boyfriend just moved nearby and this could easily be one of our new favorite brunch spots. We…read moreare breakfast people who like to sleep in so I appreciate them serving breakfast into the afternoon. They've got all the classical gluten menu, but for anyone avoiding gluten, it feels like a little slice of heaven. This place actually gives me options from gluten‑free pancakes to gluten‑free French toast. I ordered the gluten‑free buttermilk short stack with strawberries and chocolate. Boyfriend gets the steak tips and eggs and we devoured it so fast I forgot to take a photo. The staff are genuinely some of the nicest people you'll meet and are warm, wicked funny, and incredibly accommodating. The place is clean (not sticky like some other diner/breakfast spots) and has an open feel, good vibes all around. Highly recommend a visit!

First time visiting for brunch and cannot wait to go back. The feta veg omelette special was…read moredelicious - the omelette loaded with veggies and feta cheese, came with a side of beans and rice, and tasty potato hash. Ask for the hot sauce, it's tasty! The meal came with either cream wheat or fruit. Tried cream wheat for the first time and it was sooo good. Warm, cozy, sweet and salty. Entrees came with a bread basket of homemade buttered bread which was delicious too. Service was excellent. Patio ambience was lovely for late morning brunch. Love that they offer breakfast all day. Only complaint is the long wait - but they offer complimentary coffee and lemonade, along with bubbles for kids to stay occupied. Parking in the area can also be hard to find on the weekends. We will definitely be back!

Curio has extremely limited seating, so it's honestly better as a grab-and-go local coffee…read morespot--but unfortunately, I ordered a mocha and it was mediocre at best. It was very thin, and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Seeing some other reviews celebrating their waffles, I would consider coming back for food, but likely not their coffee. The other reason I docked points was because I came on a mid-October morning, one of those days with pleasantly brisk mornings that quickly warmed up. Yet upon arrival, the heat was turned so far up that I was sweating the entire time I was inside. Curio also hasa no-laptops rule on weekday evenings and weekends, which is understandable given the tiny size, but always represents a challenge to folks looking for a third space to work in.

It was tasty, greasy (in a good way), and the spiced fries were a nice change up. My wife and I ordered a bottle of wine which was priced quite reasonably. This place has a stealthy good selection of craft beers on tap. Look forward to returning here again.

Walked in on day after thanksgiving for brunch, and this place was relatively quiet. We got an…read moreamazing booth seating, but really wanted their fancy bus seating which gives a classic diner feel to the restaurant. TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

I was fooled by Yelps' high 4.7 rating…read more Tri-berry Cheesecake Crêpe: The crêpes were made to order, and the wait was a bit long on Friday afternoon (about 15-20 minutes), but understandable. The crêpe itself was decent--soft yet chewy, not dry or oily, with a slightly rough surface and a pleasant natural wheat aroma. However, the filling was just strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and a little berry jam--very perfunctory. The raspberries were soft and mushy, not fresh enough, and the blueberries were small and didn't blend well with the crêpe. Also, I couldn't taste any "cheesecake" at all. Cappuccino: The taste was also average, but it was a very large glass. The place was very hot; I'm curious how hot they had the heating on.

Ordered the fried chicken eggs Benedict and a green omelette with feta. Sorry I usually have…read morepictures but did not feel it was worth taking pictures. I think the biggest issue with the place is that it wants to be an upscale brunch place but it's not, while charging upscale brunch prices. Their eggs Benedict were really good nice and runny and had good structure. But I really could not enjoy the coffee. First off it was a low quality cold brew but it was further diluted with wayyy too much ice (which is not very necessary considering it's a cold brew). The fried chicken was very strange, more like a milanesa. Their home fries were a little stiff and undercooked. In my opinion omelette was too salty and could tell the greens were not the freshest. Our server was nice but not very attentive. We had to call them to us after sitting for about 20 min. Again very kind, just had to ask them to take order or requests.
