Amazing food and spot. Beautiful interior. Very clean and the owner is so hospitable.

Had an awesome experience here, the food is amazing and their employees Gio and Martha were so kind to us. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

An excellent neighborhood lunch or brunch spot! The atmosphere is very cute, with interesting antiques everywhere and beautiful plants hanging from the ceiling. The service is always spot on, even when they get busy during the weekend brunch rush. (You should count on needing a reservation at those times.) Of course, none of that would matter if the food wasn't also excellent! We always order banana caramel pecan french toast for the group to share. The french toast on its own is custardy and delicious (unlike some places that just feel like dry bread), but the roasted bananas along with the buttery caramel and pecans take it to the next level. The fries are also the platonic ideal of a french fry that always surprise us: crispy, not greasy, and well seasoned, while still having a fluffy center. I often get the shakshuka or the aleppo-style eggs for my main, which are both delicious, veggie-forward, and filling. But the hidden gem is the oatmeal, which is packed with fruit, perfectly cooked, and creamy as can be. Since the food is halal, there are no pork products, and as a lover of regular bacon, I can say with confidence the beef bacon will surprise you with how similar it is! My vegetarian friends also love the variety of the options, and the meat eaters are always satisfied. read more

A friend and I came here for brunch and it was so cute! It's got a nice community feel inside. Most of the tables are set up as long, communal tables so you could be sitting near another party that's sitting just a few seats down. You don't see that everyday but I liked it a lot! The service is quick and super friendly. My friend and I had finished our meals, and the staff were letting us try different baklava flavors they had, simply out of the kindness of their heart. They would just walk up to us while we were chatting and they'd give us more samples. It was really a great time! My Nutella Crêpe was cold but it would've been amazing if the melted Nutella was still warm inside, but all in all it was still good. My friend got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel and funny enough hers was too hot at first haha so she let it sit for a sec and really liked it. Water is also self service here-- another community vibe to it all. I def want to come back for their lunch menu! read more

Went for brunch at In-House Cafe in Brighton today. Had a delicious meal.The restaurant has a large open floor plan with high ceilings, windows and natural light. Cool vibe with eclectic style. I showed up at 12 and the restaurant was packed. Would suggest a reservation. Menu had many options. I specifically looked at breakfast options and saw a range of savory and sweet options. Many options with fresh produce. Have some pics of menu with omelets and other breakfast options. Menu has several other pages. My La Classique Crepe had a generous amount of Nutella and fresh fruit, strawberries and banana. Crepe had a good texture, not burnt and not too doughy. Cappuccino was delicious. The waiting staff was nice and very busy. Look forward to going back and exploring the menu more. read more

I went to the one of Harvard Ave yearssss ago and was so sad when they closed down. To my surprise wandering yelp I came across this new location and bookmarked it immediately after asking if this is this is the new location. We happened to be nearby for an event and realised this was within walking distance. So we came here for brunch. Inside a little more modern than the previous location but still has an antique flair to it. The restaurant is full of natural lighting. The food is just as I remembered it. I don't have the most exciting order but the nostalgia was running through me. The beef bacon is a must-get. Can't wait to be back again. read more

This place is a hidden gem!! The food is AMAZING! The omelettes are SO large and the French Toast was simply delicious. The wait staff is some of the friendliest I've ever encountered, and they even brought a little tray of sweets at the end of our meal - how nice! The decor is so homely and exciting to look at. The natural hanging plants really add something to the place. Will be back ASAP to try more items on the menu! read more

Parking is limited to the street. Any parking reserved for employees. The restaurant is divided: one part is restaurant with a separate area with drinks and fruit. There are house plants as part of the decor which is a nice touch. I had the regular, mushroom omelette, hash browns and toast. They include some fresh fruit which added color to the plate. The omelette was loaded with mushrooms and cheese. read more

I truly loved this place!! We walked in during peak brunch hours on a Saturday and we were sat right away. The food and drinks came out quickly as well. I got the Greek style eggs with a side of sausage and french toast and my friend got the Shakshuka and both were phenomenal. Overall, I would recommend this place to my friends as a great place to get breakfast/brunch. I think this is also a great place if you would like to try something new! read more

" Warm cozy and friendly neighborhood cafe " The vibe is warm and cozy . The staff is friendly and helpful. I came in today at 3:40 pm it closes at 4:00 pm . I came in for some pastries and coffee. The pastries by this time were all put away in the case . They didn't look fresh at all or tasty . They were behind a glass case that didn't look too clean . The cookies of chocolate and white chocolate looked good on a glass at the counter . However, the staff said they were just out for display . The cookies ran out . So I didn't get to try any pastries today . The coffee wasn't anything to rave about either . So this place has a cozy vibe however it's just ok . They have a separate area for dinning in and another area to sit and enjoy your coffee. They also have a small little market which is helpful if you want to take home something. I brought home some avocados . Just want to mention parking is limited to street parking . I am very fortunate to have tried this place today. I always drive by and hear good things about this cafe . The prices are not too bad either btw ( by the way). read more

Amazing value. When walking in, the fresh, well-lit space among its vibrant decor brought me into the feeling as if I was transported to a different country. I loved the displayed of teapots, antinques, collectibles, plants hanging from the ceiling and so much more. The food is rather large and for a very reasonable price. I'm surprised the can operate off the price they put the items at and their size. Food's decent. My only critique is I would go for smaller portions with a higher quality. The meat I got in the lamb wrap was tasty but it had to many much lettuce and tomato; which because of the size started to spill out and unfortunately got messy quick. Willing to try this llace instead and go for the breakfast items next time. Regardless, atmosphere is amazing and surprised not more people were occupyibg it. read more

This gem of a cafe is located in the heart of Brighton, with a stunning internal decor that draws inspiration from its Syrian roots. The menu offers a mix of traditional American and Syrian options--both of which are delicious! We've been here a few times, trying different items, and each time the food comes out great. The service is also quick and helpful. As a bonus, I'm a huge fan of fried chicken & waffle, and In House is the only cafe in Boston that offers these halal! Definitely a must try. read more

WOW! I cannot BELIEVE this place doesn't have more reviews, this deserves to be so so popular. This is the best, most delicious Middle Eastern-American fusion brunch place I've ever had in the Boston area. EVER! Nothing else comes close, it has the best variety of options and best flavors. It's Syrian owned and they just get all the Levantine cuisine spot on. There's a wide selection of classic American brunch foods as well as all the traditional Middle Eastern foods. I got the lamb kabob plate, so flavorful, tender, and just scrumptious. My brother got the Mexican omelette- the steak was juicy and the peppers and onions were seasoned to perfection, cooked just enough so they still have a bite without being soggy. I had The place is beautiful with high ceilings, plants, tons of seating, and antique decor, the staff is so nice, and they even have a little convenience store that's priced well! I'm going to be a regular here. PLEASE GO! Just go, don't even question it. Give this place the attention it deserves!! read more

Aleppo Eggs Plate 4.5/5 Smoked Salmon Omlette 5/5 Great place for brunch! They have a huge menu of items to select from that includes breakfast and lunch/dinner items. They also have some baked goods up at the counter that you can order as well. It's seems to be a family-run business and all of the staff are quite friendly and polite. We've gotten free dessert on the house the times that I've gone in bigger groups! The restaurant itself is under a senior living community and has a nice open area for seating that has a lot of windows to let sunlight in. It also has a small market area off to the side that offers convenience store types of foods. No parking lot and not much parking outside of the restaurant itself, but if you're willing to walk ~10 min or so there is street parking on some of the side streets. read more

We came here because of the great yelp reviews, expecting to have a nice lunch. Everything was off from the very beginning. The waiters were dressed in dirty pajama-like uniforms with holes, and were not professional at all. We sat outside and ordered our meals. My cappuccino came in a paper cup. While waiting for our food, I decided to use the bathroom. I was so disgusted. The toilet itself was incredibly dirty, there were no paper towels, and nothing to dry your hands with. The food came pretty fast, that was the only good thing. I never use the term "disgusting" to refer to food, but it was more than that. My crepe had half-boiled greasy onions and a few pieces of chicken which I had to put aside because I was afraid of potential food poisoning. The crepe itself was so dry, that I had to smother it in ketchup to get it down and mask the taste. It's now almost midnight, and I can't get this taste out of my mouth - I even brushed my teeth three times. My fiancé tells me not to think about it, but this negative experience is hard to get off my mind. My day off was ruined. Please spare yourself the experience of sitting in a filthy place eating the most disgusting food. read more

We came here for brunch on a Saturday morning and overall had a pleasant meal! A majority of us got their breakfast food, but one of us got one of the chicken plates which was huge in portion size and a great deal - would highly recommend it! The service was quick, kind, and the food came out within a reasonable time which was awesome. The space has plenty of seating and is very brightly lit which made it a great brunch spot. The breakfast we got overall was decent, however the shakshuka was really lacking - it tasted more like a watery chili and was quite disappointing. I wouldn't recommend getting that at all. Overall, I'd be happy to return to eat their lunch dishes in the future and maybe a fee of their breakfast ones. Their tea was also pretty tasty and I would gladly get it again as well! The experience here was not too bad and if you're looking for a quiet, pleasant place to grab some food, I'd recommend thus spot. read more

THE PLACE TO GO! Such a vibrant place with delicious food and an amazing staff. I loved having brunch here with my family. We got the breakfast burrito, meat lovers omelette, and Mediterranean omelette. We ordered an iced mocha and iced caramel latte. It was a bit too sweet for us but still very delicious! I didn't mind this, but I would like to WARN you that the wait time for food was about 20 minutes long as they were very busy. We went on a Saturday at around 11:30 but were seated and taken care of very quickly. read more

This is our new favorite breakfast spot! The service is also so fast, we barely ever wait for our food even when the restaurant is busy, and the owner is super nice!! It also has a very homey kind of feel to it and i love the community table because it allows for small groups or single eaters to sit but not necessarily be alone. The last time we were there the owner caught my husband watching curiously as he prepared a meal and he was so kind and brought over a full plate for us to try on him! Can't wait to eat here again! read more

In House Café - Brighton's Coziest Hidden Gem I walked into In House Café in 2023 not knowing anything about it, even since that moment, I've been going regularly, - the consistency is unmatched: delicious Healthy Mediterranean dishes, pristine cleanliness, The warmth of the staff, the antique pieces, the art, and all the charming little collectibles make the café feel like a gallery in its own right - full of characters indeed is cozy, welcoming atmosphere that never fades. The food is beautifully prepared, healthy Mediterranean cuisine that tonifies my Qi and always hits exactly the right spot. The coffee at In House Café is smooth and consistently perfect -- the only place where I happily drink plain black coffee. Every time I walk in, I'm reminded of Cheers and find myself humming, "Sometimes you want to go Where Everybody Knows Your Name," because that's exactly the energy here. The regulars, the staff, the vibe -- it's pure warmth. Just impeccable cleanliness, the attention to detail shows how much pride they take in their space -- everything is spotless, even the restrooms. My little one, who knows her food. She absolutely loves In House Café and always asks to go back -- which confirms everything I felt about the place. The staff is kind, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Even when the café is busy, it feels calm and I can focus -- the best places to get work done. If you're anywhere near Brighton, In House Café is a true gem -- a place full of heart and comfort that stays with you long after you leave. It's not just a café. It's home. read more
