Bacon and Mushroom Scramble
Wilson L.

Self serve coffee and several options of good quality. Indoor and outdoor dining and I ordered a bacon and mushroom hash, scrambled eggs and rye toast They have a daily creative breakfast special list. Food hit the five star level as well as service. Also local artisans sell their paintings which are on display. If in Quincy MA make Craig's Cafe a breakfast stop. Enjoy!

One of the best corned beef hash I've had! Loved the mimosa flights too and it's dog friendly. Definitely will be coming back.

chicken and waffles

YUMMY! We came for weekend brunch and it was super busy, so food and service was slow. However, it was well worth it. We both cleaned our plates. I recommend sitting outside for very good people-watching. We got the mimosa flight, and I'd recommend the mango and peach flavors for sure. It's $20 for three glasses. The chicken and waffles were sooooo good. Usually they're dry, bone-in, or not cohesive, but these were texturally perfect. The Irish Benedict was also amazing - their hollandaise is very good, and the corned beef was perfectly salty. The home fries were ok, but I think they are just hit or miss wherever you go. The bathroom is in kind of a weird place, but it's also fine. Definitely recommend if you're in Quincy Center.

As usual looking for a place on Yelp for brunch/ breakfast and found Craig's cafe in Quincy MA. Small quaint place n not that fancy. Great reviews on Yelp so thought we'd try it. Was a great choice. Friendly welcoming staff. We ordered the hot chocolate which was really good. My hubby got coffee n he enjoyed it. We got Leo's hash w toasted Portuguese roll, hurricane hash w white toast n California Benedict. Thoroughly enjoyed every morsel of food. Left a clean plate. Good sized portions. Tx u Craig's cafe for a yummy brunch. Will certainly stop by when we r in the area again.

California Benedict
Kendall D.

Overall, I've really enjoyed most of the food I've tried from here! It's mostly on the level of comfort/diner/family owned cafe food which sometimes is exactly what I'm looking for!! Definitely recommend the benedicts, they do a great poached egg and a perfect hollandaise! I have also had the pancakes, quite filling because the portions are large so a good go-to if you're looking for a homestyle giant pancake! The home fries are also awesome! My personal favorite that I keep going back for is the California Benedict! Finally--appreciate the very friendly staff and the spacious outdoor seating! It tends to be a busy place even on weekdays for a good reason!

Hurricane

Heard about this place (via the wonderful internet) since I moved to the South Shore. Finally when opening the fridge yielded cobwebs, I decided to check Craig's out. For some reason, when I initially heard of it, I thought it would be something fancy-ish. Turns out, it's a pretty homey, down to earth place. Wouldn't call it a greasy spoon, but it also isn't one of those hip places that serves an avocado toast with pomegranate seeds. I ordered the Hurricane poached egg plate. It's a combination of a lot of ingredients, yet they all play together quite well. The veggies and potatoes were cooked and chopped very nicely and not at all greasy. Poached egg was cooked nicely as well! The sausage is in links, which is interesting considering the state of everything else. Though I'm not complaining. Also, bear in mind, the salsa and sour cream are not spread throughout, make sure you grab some bites as you go. I did find the buffalo aioli a little sharp and acidic for my taste, but if it is based on hollandaise, that is understandable. I did like the light kick of the buffalo though. The service was quick and attentive. Coffee was nothing remarkable, nor do I think it's supposed to be. Overall, everything pretty much meets my expectations. Something a little different, yet not pretentious. Good flavors, and reasonable prices considering the location.

ordered through DoorDash. food was not cooked all the way this has never happened to me before with Craig's. will not be ordering again

3 eggs, white toast, sausage, and home fries- yum!

Is this a good place to just sit and have an afternoon coffee? My husband and I are looking for a spot other than Starbucks to drink coffee/tea, and just chill. We also want to respect the restaurant if they prefer saving seats for diners?

Yes. I've had coffee there many times and Tom has made me/friends feel welcome

Owner-Yelp says no outdoor seating. Nice picture plainly shows outdoor seating. If people filter by outdoor seating, obviously will not show your place?

Outdoor seating is weather permitting and seasonal. It's a relatively new option at Craig's.

This is my second time going to granite street cafe. the staff is really nice and welcoming. Food…read moreis great and also comes out very quickly. It's a great neighborhood diner with a really good menu. They also have a bar. Would recommend checking out if you're in the area.

Things that Granite Street Cafe had going for it which won them our visit:…read more 1) They were open early. 7am - 2pm, every day. We wanted to be somewhere by 8am, so that worked for us. 2) They have a parking lot, just past the intersection, after the building on Water Street. Okay, this was more of a bonus for us, at least initially, but when I got there and saw the streets around them, I even more appreciated it. There's also an entry from the parking lot, but it isn't particularly clearly marked. I read about it on someone else's review, and got there first, so I had time to meander. But is the metal staircase closest to the sidewalk. There was a single waitress, which meant service wasn't the quickest. But she was nice and knew her regular by name. The booths had clear plastic (or glass... I didn't touch them to verify) dividers - perhaps due to the pandemic and social distancing, perhaps not, but I liked them and they seemed a part of the original booths, rather then an after thought. We split a sweet and a savory - double strawberry pancakes (3 pancakes with both berries cooked in, and strawberry compote, whipped cream on the side) $12.50, and Granite Street Benedict (with corned beef hash) $14.50. The sweet was surprisingly not too sweet, while the savory was a bit too salty. We weren't hurried along or anything. And they take both cash or credit.

The atmosphere and the food was amazing. The food portion sizes would definitely generous and I…read moredefinitely left feeling a lot fatter than I am LOL. My family also enjoyed the food there too. My best suggestion is try to get there early cuz it gets packed really quickly

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.
