Great food. Great service! My son had a baseball lesson not far from here, (at At Bat Training Center), so of course I turned to yelp to find a place to have a nice lunch. The place is small, and when we walked in after 1 PM, most of the tables were full. You stand and order your food and they bring it out to you. (it is not a full-service restaurant ) First of all, my son said the burger was the best he's had in some time. The homemade potato chips were a pleasant surprise (for HIM since I already knew about them from yelp) I had a simple BLT with french fries, but both were perfect. It's not a fancy place, but it's a place where you can get good food quickly and at a reasonable price. The service was friendly - both the young lady who took our order and the gentleman who brought out the food were helpful and all smiles. They also have a nice selection of pastries for dessert or to bring home. read more

Stopped in for my second visit. Ordered the ham and cheese omelette no home fries had French fries instead and white toast and a 20 once sprite $ 13.21 . Kinda expensive. Sat down at a sticky table kinda gross. My food was delivered to my table with no fries and rare potatoes. I immediately said I asked for fries. While I was waiting for my fries I realized that the cook forgot the ham in my omelette also. That was it for me , asked for my money back and will never return. I just wish Acton would finally get a decent breakfast establishment 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

Legend Cafe - Local, awesome breakfast/lunch spot. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

Josh S. -- Legend Café is excellent and a strong part of our West Acton community. The food, service, and café environment are wonderful and this essential breakfast or lunch opportunity is a great way to relax, have enjoyable conversation, and eat outstandingly prepared meals! read more

Service was extremely friendly and fast. The pastries behind the counter looked delicious but I came for a basic breakfast of scrambled eggs, home fries, and a bagel. The whole meal came out so quickly that it couldn't have been cooked to order. My scrambled eggs were fine- real eggs, and not too dry. The home fries were so unseasoned they could have been a diced baked potato. Bagel tasted packaged, like Lenders. My unsweetened iced tea had a very unusual smokey flavor that at first I thought might be from a pot with some coffee left in it, but maybe that's the way it was supposed to taste? The meal had a very free-hotel-breakfast vibe. That said, the meal was quick and the service was super friendly. Next time I think I'd just go for a pastry. read more

Legend Cafe - Ketchup was necessary. I wish these had been pan fried or roasted, with a little onion and seasoned salt! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

The owners and staff are attentive and kind. The restaurant is always clean. Love the breakfast burrito and bacon. We have had a few different lunch items and all were good quality. No frills but a nice, calm atmosphere. read more

I've been to Legend Cafe several times over the past few months. My standards for a breakfast diner are simple. Good food, good coffee, and good service for a reasonable price. Legend Cafe has all three. My only real complaint is that their home fries are a little on the bland side. It's almost as if there's no seasoning at all on them. Service and coffee, however, are fantastic! The owners are cordial, always friendly, and the food is delivered extremely quickly after ordering. If only the home fries were better, I'd give it 5 stars! read more

The food a coffee were really good here, only downside is finding parking on a busy weekend

My favorite breakfast place in the area. All of the employees are friendly and make the customers feel welcome. The food is always cooked as ordered and is delicious. read more

What a quaint and pleasant place to stop by and have a hearty breakfast! Was visiting friends in Acton and we came here and it's such a coo little cafe! I didn't have their lunch but if it's anything like their breakfast, you'll be beyond satisfied (and full!). Customer service is beyond pleasant and accommodating and the cafe was nice and toasty for the chilly November morning! read more

Stopped here for the first time when I had an hour to kill in the morning. Great atmosphere, great service, love the selection, potatoes were definitely under cooked to my liking. Other than that the place and food were great! Def recommend. read more

Our favorite breaktast/lunch/brunch place. Owners/staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The food consistently good and served hot. The kids love to it there and so do the adults! Menu with a good variety. Choc chip pancakes and the french toast are our favorite breakfast items. I'm partial to the BLT on sourdough. So good!! you will not be disappointed. Casual and friendly place in acton with good food! read more

I love Legend Cafe! Everyone is so warm & inviting the food has never been a disappointment! Great spot for soup & a sandwich.

The girls who work here are very helpful and sweet. The breakfast was just ok. Pancakes were good, homefries were too salty and blah and the omelettes were average. But the pastries they sell behind the counter were awful. I bought a variety for company we were hosting later in the day. My husband and I both agreed on how terrible they were and we tried everything from the turnover to the muffin. I grabbed Whoopi pies for my kids for later and they didn't like them. I tossed them. Waste of money, never will go back. read more

We came here for breakfast based on the reviews. It was one of the worst breakfasts we've ever had. Needless to say we won't be coming back here. If we could give it 0 stars we could read more

Love this place, wish I lived closer. I love diners and this one is clean and bright. Not to big or small perfect for breakfast. If I'm ever around I will definitely come back. read more

Legend Cafe - Very bright and clean... bakery and lunch menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Acton, Massachusetts

I went for breakfast. I did not order the baked goods (muffins, croissants) but they looked beautiful. I got an everything bagel with my omelet but have a hunch that it was store bought which was disappointing. We ordered 2 omelets. The staff was very flexible and gave us fruit rather than home fries. I requested an egg white omelet. The cashier recommended against this saying it would be very small. As a tea drinker I was pleased with their various options of black and flavored teas. If I am in town again I would return and would be sure to try one of their pies or tarts which look as though they are made by a professional pastry chef. read more

Legend Cafe catered our recent post-Wedding party / family reunion and it was awesome! The food got rave reviews! We had everything from chorizo dates wrapped in bacon to lobster rolls...which lasted a hot minute...to chocolate mousse cake! Dave and his team were wonderful to work with, delivery was prompt, food was hot and fresh and as always, they were full of smiles! I would definitely recommend checking out their catering menu (full of delicious options not sold in the cafe) and using them for your next event! read more

Outstanding breakfast and lunch, and the staff is so friendly. Their catering is fantastic and the menu is extensive!

This place is very clean. The person that took our order was very nice and attentive. My only complaint is the price. I bought a sausage, egg and cheese and it cost $6. The sausage was a small patty and it was an average breakfast sandwich. read more

High quality food (lunch had a great side salad w/ mixed greens & chips were high quality). Breakfast sandwich w/ bacon on a croissant was like home made. Couple of recommendations: play some background music to cut the quiet, turn off the soap operas on the tv, put menus on the tables (w/ condiments?), and if you keep counter-ordering; don't stare at people until they decide- it is creepy. read more

I love this place! The owners are so sweet and recognize my friends and I by our names whenever we visit. The burgers and desserts here are the best! Delicious and savory and everything you want to indulge in. Personally, the wraps and sandwiches are rather plain for me as they don't offer any ways to personalize it for people who prefer more flavor, but I'm always in a great mood because of the homely environment. The large tables are just an added bonus; these aren't your tiny cafe tables, nor your average tables, but actually really large tables you can spread your things on. read more

This is our go to breakfast place in the area! Very friendly vibe. I would give it 5 stars if they added more gourmet options like Eggs Benedict my favorite and egg scrambles with toppings. Hopefully that will come with time as they are newer to the neighborhood. read more

A great addition to West Acton. The food is good, comes out fast and the owners are very friendly. I come here often and am never disappointed. I'm sure that they will continue to improve as they have not been open long. Highly recommend. read more

See all

We were eager to try this place after seeing all the glowing reviews on Yelp and the write-up in the Boston Globe. Ordered the turkey club with fries. The fries were really good, crispy and salted with sea salt. But the sandwich was, well--quite ordinary. Would have helped if they had used real turkey and not the processed turkey meat one might find in a deli. Really two stars for the food, but threw in the extra star because the staff was so nice. read more

Breakfast burrito hit the spot was just enough for a hearty appetite. The coffee selection was good and all of it roasted just right. Wish I still lived up this way I would be a frequent flyer. The bakery selections are a little on the limited side but everything I tried was great and my wife really enjoyed her blue berry muffin and breakfast plate. read more

Went with my wife and kids for breakfast on a Sunday. The place was clean and inviting. We had pancakes and French toast and I can say that the food was great. Tasted really homemade and we were happy. But was disappointing to be served little disposable cups of Smuckers Breakfast Syrup. Just high fructose corn syrup and caramel color. Real maple syrup would go a long way. Who wants to pour that stuff on such high quality pancakes? The crappy syrup and the fact that the coffee wasn't hot enough are why it loses a star, but we will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in for a quick coffee and pastry Saturday morning with the ex and the kiddo. The pleasant staff person asked what I would like. The pastry selection was limited to 2 or 3 croissants, a scone some muffins and some cookies. Not quite the pastry cornucopia I was expecting. I was torn between the chocolate croissant and the almond finally deciding on the large flaky looking almond croissant and asked for a cup of dark roast. I was informed that there was only a medium roast. Say what? Coffee shop that doesn't have a dark roast blend what's the world coming to. The alternatives were decaf and "vanilla". I think they were taken aback by my shock but I decided to get the medium roast because a good cup of coffee is better than no coffee at all. Turns out that it's also self-serve from big air pots on the side table which is OK but lacks a bit of the personal touch I think. The medium roast coffee was well medium and kind of a weak medium at that. The croissant on the other hand was acceptable and reasonably flaky but lacked any almond filling which was a disappointment and sparse on the flaked almonds. I was underwhelmed but will give them another try on the off chance that I caught them on a bad day. read more

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

Good place to eat. However, home fries soft and hair peppered all over my entire meal. My Girlfriend also got hair in home fries and burger. Thank you so much for making my 1st visit also my last. Should have got a refund. Would've, should've, could've. read more

Straight forward yummy breakfast! I had the breakfast sandwich on a croissant w/bacon. Perfect! I didn't specify the egg and it was still cooked perfectly w/plenty of runny yolk without being grossly raw. Lots of perfectly cooked bacon, which I applaud because most places serve overcooked dry bacon. My husband had the Light Legend he described as "your basic breakfast" with 2 fried eggs, hash browns, bacon, and toast. It was just what he wanted! Service was fast and friendly! We also tried two pastries-a wonderful sticky bun with cheese filling and a blueberry scone. We'll be back! read more

Decent shop. No frills and the coffee is self serve once you get your cup.

Super friendly team. Great baked goods and breakfasts. Like the coffee choices. Fairly priced. Decent internet.

So happy I found this place!! I have been looking for a go-to breakfast spot where I can just get a breakfast sandwich and an iced coffee. I can only take so much of Dunkins...Today I got a breakfast burrito which was amazing and an iced coffee that was super fresh! Can't wait to go back! read more

Stopped here with our kids after visiting the Discovery Museum and had a really nice lunch. The food is fresh and tasty, and the owners seem like very nice people. Our son has multiple food allergies, and they were very accommodating and careful with his meal. read more

Taste tested the menu with the whole family and everything was so yummy! Highly recommend the blueberry pancakes.

Awesome food and amazing friendly service. Kids loved it. We sat outside with our dog.

Great spot for family breakfast, brunch or really anything. My son loves the huge pancakes and Dave and Jingbo always make us feel like we are a part of their family, sharing some time with them at their table. Love it! read more

Most diners I have been to were better. Sausage patties like McDonalds but less spicy.

We discovered this small, but excellent cafe back in October when visiting family in Acton. We are back again in January and our opinion has not changed. We had lunch. My wife had the best grilled cheese sandwich she's ever have had. I had the roast turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato and without the bread, along with fries. David the owner was more than happy to prepare my sandwich this way. For me, it makes a lighter meal, especially with the fries. For dessert, we each had one of David's unbelievable chocolate chip cookies. This are the absolute best chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten. If you want a place to go for lunch with excellent sandwiches, friendly service, this is the place. read more

Just picked up half a dozen of their blueberry muffins, which I'd been told were very good. That's an understatement - they are amazing!! They were still warm when I got them, nice crusty top and filled with delicious blueberries. What a treat! A hit all around in my home. read more
