    Great spot near south station to grab a bite to eat and fresh coffee or breakfast/lunch. Will definitely be coming here more often

    Came here unexpectedly since we had to change our plans (South Street Diner lost electricity and was temporarily closed), so we walked around and stumbled into this place. Quiet and unassuming, we had no idea what to expect. However, the food we ordered were fresh, delicious, impressive, amazing, and fabulous. In short, I was in my feelings. I ordered the waffle (with maple syrup - you had the option of honey and regular syrup), apple danish (since it's fall, after all) and the caramel bliss (espresso, milk, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, frozen caramel bits). I thought I was going to fall into a sugar coma but everything balanced each other well and none of these items were intensely sweet. They were the perfect level of sweetness. Their regular coffee was tasty. I'm hooked on this place... Lawddd faddah. Also, the persons who served us were exceedingly helpful and attentive. I'm happy I stumbled into this spot since I plan on visiting it again the next time I visit Boston. I recommend checking it out.

    We were delighted to have chosen this spot for breakfast this morning before heading to the airport! The people working here are so friendly, the food was HOT and fresh, the prices were very reasonable. I got an iced latte and it was also super good! We recommend!

    Today I was in the mood to change up my coffee and decided to try Kneeland Cafe. It is a quick 5 min walk from my office and figured why not stop in. I expected to pay close to what Starbucks charges for coffee, but was pleasantly surprised with the affordable menu. I ordered a large hot cafe mocha and a breakfast bagel. The service was quick and attentive. I was third in line, and was out within 5 min. The inside is cute and cozy, with classic cafe pictures and a small table to look out onto Kneeland st. If I didn't have to go back to work, i would have really enjoyed sitting and relaxing.

    Fine establishment for a breakfast sandwich. Key for those mornings where you don't feel so fresh.

    All I've had so far is the tuna melt, but I am excited to try more things on the menu.

    Backstory to help explain the significance of the fact that I didn't get coffee with my meal…read morehere...I drink buckets a day...I must have coffee, as a necessity. The scrambled eggs were perfectly done, not runny or gooey like other places. The potatoes perfectly seasoned and slightly crunchy out and soft inside. The Banana bourbon French toast...Is the best breakfast food I've ever had and I eat out frequently. I literally scraped my plate clean. I would have done the same with my eggs, potatoes and Turkey sausage but I couldn't eat another bite. I wish we had a North Street Grille here but perhaps it's better that I not have easy access to the quality of food otherwise I'd need a new bigger size wardrobe. If in Boston this is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. If we had room and weren't leaving town the same night we'd have bought the banana bread. They provide complementary for each table and it's one of the bestest most beautifully made banana breads I've had. Service was fast and friendly. It's a cute and quaint little place packed to gills with people which is fine because everyone is friendly and the food is divine!!!!

    Small cozy restaurant. Perfect place for brunch. Service…read morewas great and attentive. Gave complimentary banana bread (which was very yummy, moist, not too sweet). There were only 2 of us, but we couldn't decide what to order so we got 4 items. The short rib grilled cheese was great, not too fatty (which I prefer). The fries were also good. The lobster sliders were a little too wet for us, but paired well with the fries. We underestimated the size of the salad, but it was a solid salad. My friend really enjoyed the banana bourbon French toast and she's someone that doesn't have a sweet tooth. She really liked the caramelized parts, reminded her of taffy. We killed as much as we could!

They offer a brunch menu so you could get breakfast or lunch depending on what you like. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine which came on multigrain bread. I was a little skeptical about it coming on bread instead of an english muffin but I was proven wrong, it was so good!!! I loved mine. The vegan burger was pretty good but a little dry. The huevos rancheros weren't anything to write home about but good. We did feel rushed because of the line so the food came quick and they were quick to bring the bill over once they observed you were close to being done. I'd come back for the Eggs Benedict and their pancakes looked good. What we ordered: Eggs Benedict Florentine Huevos Rancheros Quinoa Black Bean Burger Hot Chocolate Iced Chai

The only issue we had were the yellow jacket bees/wasps that kept flying around us. We noticed the table next to us was dealing with the same issue. (We visited at the end of August). We ended up packing our food to go and eating it at the park nearby. Unfortunate but also didn't mind finishing our breakfast in the park.
