Legend Cafe - Blueberry Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

Very nice people. Had French toast and loved it. Nice outdoor seating. Reasonable prices. Dog friendly as well. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious breakfast! Everything is cooked to order and even though the place is usually packed once ordered, your food comes out relatively quickly. It can be hard finding a table, especially on a Saturday or Sunday, but considering the food is delicious it's to be expected! They also have delicious pastries! If you're looking for a phenomenal breakfast, this is the place! read more

Great little place to stop for breakfast. Clean and tidy place with not too much fan fare on the walls. You place your order at the counter and they deliver it to your table. Much like the pubs of London. We each got breakfast sandwich which were cooked to order and were very tasty. We also got some pastries to share with the table and were not disappointed. Will be back soon read more

Serve yourself breakfast and pastries. Ok basic breakfast with regular brewed coffee. Small space fills up quickly on weekends. Convenient location in West Concord. read more

Being unfamiliar with Acton I looked at the reviews before bringing my grandson to breakfast . When I entered the staff was so friendly and accommodating - even asking if I would like a high chair. The eggs and muffins were delicious ! There is even an outside patio my grandson could run around in . Typically the card swiping machine is swung around so you can add a tip - this is only one of a few places I wanted to add one, however it's not a feature on their machine which is surprising based on my experience . Bring cash for a tip because it is well deserved !!! read more

Went here for breakfast. The spot is small and parking is limited. When you walk in it looks like an average cafe of sorts that you would typically see. I got French toast. The French toast on the affordable side. I got an iced tea due to the selection of drinks besides coffee being limited. They do not have orange juice. The seating is nice. Tables are good size and chairs are comfortable. The food is brought to you. The cafe is not loud and is enjoyable to eat there. I definitely will be coming back to try their lunch options. read more

Went there 20 minutes before closing time. So didn't stay because Not enough time one to order, get and enjoy the food. Nice and cozy place. Will visit sometime time in future. read more

Service was friendly. Food was delicious and fresh. You order at counter and they bring it out. Fast service to the table after order. The place is dated and could use paint and more decor in the empty coolers when you walk in. Not super fancy but decent read more

Stopped here for a quick breakfast on our way to Logan airport. You order at the counter and take a seat and they bring you your food. Staff was super kind and service was fast. The iced coffee was very good - I got mine with cream and mocha and my partner got his black we both enjoyed very much. Food portions were generous and tasted good! I enjoyed my chocolate chip pancake and my friend liked the french toast with fresh strawberries. Partner got a croissant from the pastry display case he liked too. Interior is cute and clean. When you're done eating you just bring your plates to a bin. Thanks for having us! read more

Legend Cafe - The French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

Dingy, limp and expensive. $9.45 for two eggs, home fries, sausage and cold English muffin. Coffee was an additional $2.99 Don't let the promo pictures fool you - keep driving. Yikes​ read more

Nice little place in Acton with small town appeal. Only been there for lunch one time, but the service was fast and the food very good. I'd definitely return when in the area. read more

I absolutely love it here! Great ownership and service, personable, amazing breakfast sandwiches, very reasonable prices! We love it here!

Good breakfast sandwiches and lunch salads at good prices. Croissants and baked goods are awesome!

While at the Acton Discovery Museum, my friend and I were trying to decide where to take our little ones for lunch. We both wanted salads, but also needed a place with good options for kids (and a grilled cheese for her son). Thanks to Yelp reviews, we found Legend Cafe! It was very close to the museum and we were able to get a table right away. One woman (possibly the owner?) even set up a high chair at a table for us without even asking and before we'd even picked a table. The man who took our order (also possibly the owner?) was so pleasant and patient. I asked which salad was the best and he suggested the Walnut Chicken, so that's what I did. It was very nicely presented and a great size. I loved that it didn't have too much cheese or walnuts. My son's chicken fingers were super crispy on the outside and seemed really delicious - he devoured them all. I tasted a few yummy fries. VERY generous portions. I was so glad we found this restaurant and will definitely come back the next time we're in the area and looking for a place to eat. The sandwiches and display items all looked delicious as well read more

My husband and I were traveling through Acton on our way to Boston and to Portland, ME. While staying in Boxborough, we searched for breakfast places and decided to give this place a try. So glad we did. We are extremely happy with everything. The food is beyond delicious, and the service is also so amazing! They made us feel so welcome. Food comes out at a decent time - not too fast and not long. So worth it! The first time we each got the Legend breakfast (3 eggs), and the second day we got the Light Legend breakfast (2 eggs). I got mine with scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries and whole wheat toast. My husband got the same but with bacon. We also got coffee and an orange juice (Tropicana in a bottle). Free refills for coffee - can get it in a mug and/or in a to-go cup. They had various selections for coffee - decaf, French Roast, Colombian, Pumpkin Spice, and another which I can't remember. My favorite was the Colombian. We didn't order them because our food was pretty hefty, but others in there ordered the colossal buttermilk pancakes (3), and they seemed to be enjoying them. They looked good too. You can get plain or add fruit and stuff to them (i.e. blueberry, strawberry, banana, chocolate chips). I also noticed a lot of locals here. And a lot of people would come in for their baked goods. They also serve lunch. Order at the counter and then take a seat. They will bring your food to your table. And when you're finished, just take your tray and plates etc to the disposal bins. If you're in the area or surrounding areas, this is the place you need to go to. Thank you, Legend Cafe, for existing! read more

Terrible place to have breakfast. Had to ask for table to be cleaned. There was syrup on the walls along with cobwebs. Instead of pastries in the glass fixture there were bags of chips and candy. Juice was in a refrigerator like a 7/11 and make your own coffee. Won't be going back. read more

Julie's in Acton was closed and we found this place on Yelp. Cute spot. A decent amount of space inside. At some of these local places, the people running it can be cranky, but everyone here was quite nice. I had the French toast with strawberries and a side of bacon. Not a huge order, but what a serving size should really be. The coffee was good. They had Coke products instead of Pepsi which I prefer. My friend had a turkey club with a side salad which they like. We both agreed that the bacon was awesome. Good amount and perfectly crispy. All of the ingredients here were as if they just bought them from the store recently. I say that in a good way. It's like having an actual home cooked meal. The tomatoes and strawberries weren't soggy as if they'd been sitting on a cook line all day. We liked this place and will come back for breakfast (all day yay) or even lunch sometime now that we have found it. read more

Legend Cafe - French toast with strawberries and a side of bacon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

Awesome neighborhood place. Nice, helpful staff. Great breakfast. Eggs were perfect, bacon was great quality, home fries were good too.

Legends food is excellent. The taste is always great even simple items like eggs and home fries. I recommend you try it out. I know you will keep coming back read more

Just when I started losing hope, a gem in the middle of Acton to the rescue! Legends is a refreshing cafe, great friendly staff, in a sea of pizza/sub shops in the surrounding area. The menu offers breakfast, sandwiches and wraps, complete with numerous fresh baked homemade baked goods to choose from. Went with the chicken sandwich, which comes on a pretty awesome ciabatta roll. Great sandwich overall. The staff seemed more than willing to accommodate any substitutions, including my added chipotle. All sandwiches come with either fries(which I'm told is very popular), or choice of homemade chips. Who can say no to anything homemade when it is so easy to serve of the shelf product? I'm told the pastry chef originates from Boston. After tasting the croissant, It would have been more believable if you told me he hailed from Paris! For the life of me I've never been able to figure out why no croissant I've tasted in America comes even close to the true authentic Parisian experience. Is it some safe guarded recipe?! Well behold the Legends croissant! Although the random frosting topping can't be called authentic, this is easily the best croissant I've had in America. By way of ACTON??!! Of all places (no offense!) read more

Legend Cafe is neither here nor there. It is housed in an attractive building in charming Acton. I was hopeful for a wonderful breakfast. First thing you notice is that it is part cafe and part lunch spot in a business park. (It is not in a business park, just had that feel.) First thing you see is a display of chips. Then, as you walk into the counter, one sees some nice-looking pastries. People there were lovely. I ordered the pancakes. Pancakes were served thin, had a nice consistency with little flavor. The blueberries were of the frozen variety. Syrup was "Breakfast Syrup" in a single use package with butter in similar single-use packages. With a little more thought, Legend Cafe could become a neighborhood gem. Make the ambience a little nicer. Remove the beverage cooler. Add some homey touches. Add a dollar to the pancake pricing and give us real syrup and blueberries. Use real cups for those having coffee. Until then, Legend Cafe will be a "close but no cigar" experience. read more

Amazing baked goods, and friendly service. This is a great place to take the family for breakfast. Breakfast items are always available. We bought some scones to take home and really enjoyed those the next day. read more

First of all I want to make it clear that my review is written based on a one time experience. Usually I like to give a place more than one chance before I write a good/bad review, so this review might be edited in the future. This is a small, unpretentious cafe, not a lot of effort on decoration was made inside/outside the building. The staff seemed friendly enough, they have some outside tables that, in a sunny day, could be a pleasant way to spend your lunchtime. I asked for a veggie omelette and I must say I wasn't very impressed. The omelette was hard and dried (not fluffy and moist as I think a good omelette should be), there was not a lot of veggies in the filling and it was completely unseasoned. I hope next time I visit I have a better experience to share, I'm all for supporting local businesses. read more

First time here this morning (11/20/22). Ordered breakfast sandwich w/ home fries. Food was good. Staff was friendly.

The baked goods in the counter look amazing, but I did not try them. I thought breakfast was mediocre. I ordered staples you could get anywhere (an omelette and homefries) and I thought, all in, it was pretty bland. Mind you, New Englanders often like bland so don't let this keep you away. The cappuccino was just okay as well. Service is lovely and the make it worthy of the extra star. read more

We were having trouble finding a cafe where we could sit down and eat breakfast! Yelp brought us here and we had no trouble getting a table. You order up front and they bring to table. Lots of coffee choices! ( I got pumpkin spice!). Lots of menu choices. Very friendly staff. Good food. read more

One of the best cafes in town! My kids and I have visited for breakfast and lunch and the food is always fresh!

This was not a total miss but overall, I wouldn't come here again. One star for a clean restaurant and friendly + fast service. One more star for their ham and cheese croissant and their coffee. We went in and were told to sit anywhere. So after a few minutes we realized you have to go up to place your order, so we did. The coffee was self serve which didn't really bother me. I got the ham and cheese croissant and they served it cold, I thought they would have heated it but maybe that's not how it's served? It was delicious though! Our food came out within minutes. My breakfast sandwich was an average tasting egg, what looked like individually packaged cheese on an English muffin. It didn't taste very good. My friends meal was ok. No butter on the toast or for the toast. The "home fries" were essentially cut up boiled potatoes. I did try some of their cake. The triple chocolate was dry and not enjoyable and the chocolate mousse was alright but nothing I would make a trip back for. read more

Sunday morning breakfast sometime between 8-9 and the cafe had plenty of seats...we were the only ones there. A star: for no wait time and the clean albeit half hazard decor. The TV was on and loud, and that might be ok for many but it wasn't for me. The person behind the counter agreed to turn off the volume. Another star. My bacon was plentiful and that's that. The rest is not good at all. Of my 2 my sunny side eggs one was broken. My friends scrambled eggs were crumbs. Our toasts were cold and not buttered so the butter never melted. The home fries have been boiled and there was no flavor and no crunch to them. Corn syrup for pancakes? Never again. read more

We did not have a great experience here. The french toast and eggs were nothing specials abd the lattes tasted like coffee

Sorry, very disappointed. Based on prior reviews I expected a lot more. My husband + I both got Legend Light breakfast. My eggs were lukewarm, "home fries" were large chunks of potato, more like boiled, and black spoiled spot not even cut out (see picture), I got a lot of bacon but I thought it was tough, though my husband liked it. Service was fine. read more

Legend Cafe is an underrated little spot. You can dine inside or outside which is nice. The breakfast burrito was really good and the legend stack of pancakes was good as well. The value was great, prices were very fair. The staff was super nice and their service was very timely. I would definitely go back! read more

Amazing local cafe! This is what going local and community is all about. Super friendly staff. Good is delicious. Mozzarella, Tomato, Pesto Sandwich has a really harmonious balance of flavors allowing all three of these main ingredients to shine. Legend Breakfast is a great traditional breakfast worthy of any great diner with a great potato hash. Pancakes are amazing! read more

We were very disappointed on our last visit to legends. Although the tray of baked goods by the entrance looked very good we ordered the breakfast burrito off of the menu. I made it clear that I was a vegetarian and did not want any meat in the burrito. I was quite disappointed to bite into a large chunk of sausage in the burrito. The burrito was also tasteless and dry. Unfortunately there are better places to eat in Acton. read more

Great little cafe with very friendly staff. The breakfast was very good and came out quickly. Our group tried omelettes, breakfast sandwiches and burritos, and we all really enjoyed our meal. I also had a blueberry scone which was excellent! read more

Great food and friendly staff! Prices are very reasonable and there is off street parking.

My favorite place in Acton! I always go there during school hours! They're super fast and the owner is super nice!!

Very local cafe store, I actually had a really good time with my mom for a brunch on Saturday morning. The food and the service are just OK though. It could be better. read more

Very good breakfast! It's finally nice to have a decent cafe serving breakfast and lunch in Acton that is not part of a chain. They had gluten free bread for my breakfast, which is AWESOME! Their pastries are all made in house by a pastry chef who has won Best of Boston! They also have extensive catering experience. read more
