    Some baked goodies
    Mark T.

    Based on a co-workers testimony, and the crowds of people (esp. students) I see I here on the way to work, I was expecting to get my critical dose of morning caffeine packaged in an unbelievable brew. I think fellow Yelper Louis A. said it best: "If you want coffee with your sugar and cream, this is your spot. If you want a nice cup of hot coffee, with full flavor, I'd look elsewhere". On my first visit I went for a "regular" house blend. I found it tasting less acidic than Dunkin, but lacking the bitterness I look for in a great cup of joe. Looking back, I don't recall it having any boldness or other characteristics shining through. Though, this is fairly characteristic of a light-roast coffee. I also went for a blueberry muffin, which was, well, remarkably unremarkable. Just a little bit better than you get at the grocery store, but not something I am willing to drive 45 minutes for (there is such a place!). On my second visit I went for the French Roast, since darker roasts have that "oomph" I look for. Well, the jury has returned, and the verdict is: Nah. It also lacked the oomph that you find in dark roasts. While side by side I could probably tell some difference, drinking it as I write it doesn't seem any different than the house blend I had some time earlier. The SIn-a-muffin is the same case of déjà vu... not bad, not nothing remarkable either.

    Super friendly staff and fast service. Shoutout to the barista with the glasses. She put on an amazing show with her drink-making abilities. Wow, the talent! Thank you Frankie! Amazing drink selection and great prices. Definitely coming here again for my next coffee run!

    The chocolate-banana iced coffee!!

    I'm partial to the veggie cream cheese, but where else can you find black olive and feta or buffalo chicken cream cheese?

    Panethnic Pourovers - Ube latte (small) and egg sandwich (w longanisa and seaweed on pandesal)

    Panethnic Pourovers

    (16 reviews)

    I ordered an ube latte (small hot w almond milk) and egg sandwich (w longanisa and seaweed on…read morepandesal) - TASTE: 4/5 - the ube extract flavor was strong and bitter, but adding more milk helped sweeten it. Liked the combo of sweet longanisa and salty seaweed in the egg sandwich TEXTURE: 4/5 - toasted pandesal, melted cheese, and crisp seaweed PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $12 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - debated getting the egg sandwich on a bagel for a potentially bigger portion vs. the small pandesal SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 10:15am on a Sunday and the space was empty. The employee at the counter was helpful and friendly ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - cozy, bright, and community-oriented space w murals and home-y touches PARKING: 4/5 - spots on Belmont St were taken, but more street parking available on Holbrook Rd

    Quick version: Low prices for excellent quality, really lovely atmosphere…read more My chai latte was much better than the one I would've gotten at Starbucks and was pretty large for the price I paid. They were out of eggs, so I got a pork bun which was fluffy and delicious as well. They had a medium sized-menu with a good selection of your run of the mill American cafe staples as well as options that are harder to find in this area -- Saipao buns, ube lattes, lumpia... I was getting pissed off on the highway on my way to the school in Boston so I pulled off and was looking for a cafe somewhere in Milton or Quincy to work in until the traffic died off a little and found this on Apple Maps. So glad I stopped in! The cafe is bright and home-y, and they also are clearly trying to be a place to build community in the area. They have a whole library and check out system it seems for people to borrow books, and based on the signs welcome in anyone that needs to use the restroom or respite from whatever weather is going on! I used one of their tables and worked on some schoolwork, but they also had a variety of soft seating available. They had a really good playlist that had a great beat but was still kinda chill. It wasn't super busy, probably since it was midday on a Thursday, but damn it should be busier in there! Great spot... will most likely be stopping here the next time I find myself screaming at other cars and needing to calm my road rage. Another note: I saw a sign and it looks like they have a way for people to hold events here. If you had a community group that needed a spot to have meet ups I think this would be a great spot

What we ordered: -Rainbow cake: 4/5, this one was very interesting and we really enjoyed it. It had a fruit essence to it (versus vanilla cake dyed rainbow colors) paired with a very sweet frosting. -Nutella cake: 4/5, cake was soft and fluffy with great Nutella whipped frosting and thick Nutella between the layers. -NY cheesecake: 0/5, it tasted kind of spoiled? -Chocolate ganache cake: 3/5, it was very underwhelming, the crunchy pearls in it gave it a weird texture when you bit those with the soft cake. Whipped cream on top tastes weird.

But the bench outlets don't work unless you use the ones straight from the wall. Unfortunately, the experience with the staff was underwhelming. The cashier was not trained well and no one to supervise. When asked questions about the coffee, he was giving more confused than I was. And it was a simple "can you add hazelnut to the coffee, or whats different about the korean coffee?" Not knowledgeable about the products, asking "do you know what that is?" for every item on my platter. Overall, the experience was fast to the point that I didnt even finish paying before my coffee was served. Food delicious. Vibes are good. Just needs work on professionalism on the staff side and training on the management side.

    Milkweed - Tater tots casserole

    Brunch spots are a dime a dozen these days, but finding one that actually delivers on the hype is a…read morerare feat. Milkweed manages to stand out in a crowded scene by focusing on what matters most: incredibly fresh and flavorful food. The menu spans breakfast, brunch, and lunch with a level of seasoning that hits the mark every time. These are my favorites so far: -The Sweet Dutch Baby: A crowd-pleaser that manages to be both airy and indulgent. - Corned Beef Hash: Super fresh and flavorful. You get an entire roasted roma tomato. - Cheesy Spinach Omelette: Simple, fresh, and very cheesy. - The iced coffees and teas are well-crafted as well. - For those looking for a lighter start, they offer great "healthier" alternatives like smoothies and loaded fruit and yogurt bowls, making it an easy choice for groups with different dietary preferences. The Experience The atmosphere is very homey. Staff are friendly. Place is clean and doesn't have that diner stickiness. The service can be a bit of a rollercoaster. There are moments when it feels like you've faded into the background or been forgotten entirely. But the food is worth the wait. If you're looking for a quick "in-and-out" meal, this might not be the place. But if you value high-quality, delicious brunch offerings and don't mind a slower pace, Milkweed is a local gem that delivers where it counts.

    I'd give this a 3.8 but Yelp doesn't let you do that. Pretty spacious place with ample seating and…read moreparking which is huge. Very friendly service. What we ordered: - Strawberry Nutella French Toast: 3/5, this was a lot better the first time I had it. This time it was super dry and the strawberries were very bruised and mushy - Savory Dutch pancake: 5/5, such an interesting dish, very filling, generous portions of eggs/burrata/prosciutto - Mushroom Florentine omelet: 5/5, my mom absolutely loved it. Said they were generous with the toppings cooked in. - Tater tot casserole: 3/5, guest said it was average but wish there was more egg in it - Corn beef hash: 4.5/5, guest said it was real, high quality corn beef hash (versus from a can). Took 1/2 point off because the eggs weren't cooked perfectly. We liked the vibes of this place and the creative dishes, will definitely be back to try new things.
