    Brazilian *Brazilian Style Breakfast Sandwich
    Richard M.

    The service is by far the best. They are very hospitable and welcoming. The food is usually on point. The sandwiches we ordered were great they just needed a push in flavor (maybe adding a pesto sauce?) the ambiance is a great go casual dates and hangouts.

    I can't believe it took me so long to try Mama Ana! This is such a cute cozy brunch place which I really feel this area needs more of. I love the Brazilian influence and the amazing variety. I absolutely love Pão de queijo and I love that they service it hot and fresh! You can even getting it toasted with different spreads.I got them with Requeijão (brazilian cream cheese) and it was one of the most incredible things i've ever tasted. They have a great drink and coffee selection also. I can't wait to come back and try more!!

    Mama Ana is a delightful neighborhood breakfast/lunch spot with real charm to it. Conveniently close to where we were staying for our trip to the area, it was on our radar and after looking at the menu we were all sold. I enjoyed taking in the atmosphere as I waited to order and I even noticed Mama Ana interacting with a family she seemed familiar with. I had the breakfast tacos and the pineapple smoothie. They both seemed SO FRESH. The winner of my party seemed to consensus be the shepherds pie, so that's something I strongly recommend. Love this place!

    BLT

    Food-4/5 Atmosphere-4/5 Service-4.5/5 Mama Ana's seems like the quintessential neighborhood gem. It has a menu filled with options that are sure to cover everyone's tastebuds. With a wide variety ranging from salads and sandwiches to inspired takes on Sheperds pie and tacos. I had the BLT, admittedly because I was overwhelmed by the options, but it was very tasty! It was a slightly elevated take on the traditional BLT. The fries were crispy and cooked really well. I would recommend to try some of their unique offerings as I tasted some of my friends food who ordered the ground beef shepherds pie and it was delicious! Overall, I think this is definitely a place worth trying!

    The Spicy Creamy Eggs

    I recently enjoyed a delightful breakfast at Mama Ana Brazilian Breakfast/Brunch spot. I ordered creamy scrambled eggs with cheese, chorizo, and hot sauce were exceptional. I especially liked the cheese melted into the eggs that would pull from every bite. The portion was generous, and bursted with flavor. The combination of rich, creamy eggs and the spicy kick from the chorizo and hot sauce made for a satisfying meal! Very nice little spot for a casual breakfast/brunch for dining in or to go - staff is very friendly and exceptional!

    After a killer Sunday gym workout my friends and I went to Style Cafe for a quick breakfast. We got there around 9am and there was plenty of parking spaces and no wait time. I ordered the regular breakfast burrito with fresh OJ (yes, real, and fresh pressed oranges!). The food came out pretty fast and it was yummy. My burrito was pretty big and I was only able to eat half of it. The OJ was delish and I was really happy to find this treat in Boston.

    Passion Fruit Pudding

    Great food and many healthy options! The pudding is amazing. Amazing service with good recommendations. It has a chill vibe that makes you want to stay a while!

They generally require you to order before sitting given the small space so keep that in mind when you arrive. Service is friendly and very quick. Their food is delicious and refreshing, however I'd say the star of the show is their coffee. I really enjoyed the Saigon latte especially paired with the DELICIOUS pastry. Definitely want to come back to try their dinner menu!

The restaurant had a really great ambiance, and I enjoyed being able to watch the chefs prepare the food. We ordered the ginger cabbage salad, the coconut eggplant, and the duck noodles. I would have loved to have tried their sushi grade salmon, but they were unfortunately sold out for the night. So I would recommend arriving earlier if you would like to try it. My favorite dish was the duck noodles. I liked the freshness of the basil in the pesto, and the tenderness and juiciness of the duck. The coconut eggplant was a close second favorite. The coconut flavor was delicious, and I liked the nuts on top for crunch. I also found the ginger cabbage salad to be yummy, but not as much as a standout as the other two dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot for dinner. I liked how fresh everything was, and how the dishes felt very light and healthy. It's definitely a bit on the pricier side, but I found it to be very worth it. I definitely come back and try their lattes and other dishes.

    There are plenty of places in Boston that can make a good burger. What is much harder to find is a…read morerestaurant that feels like it couldn't exist anywhere else. I'd heard Waverly had one of the better burgers around, so when a friend was visiting for Sail Boston, we made the short trip off the more traveled streets to see if it lived up to the reputation. I'm glad we did. Waverly is tucked away on a quiet side street in Charlestown, and that's part of the charm. The dining room is small, warm, and comfortably lived in. Nothing about it feels manufactured. The decor has an old soul without feeling dated, almost like it has been there longer than it actually has. Later I learned that's intentional. The restaurant takes its name from the historic Waverly House, a grand Charlestown hotel from the 1800s, and was designed to capture the feeling of the neighborhood's historic brownstones rather than chase the latest restaurant trend. The room felt like it belonged to Charlestown. Most of the people inside looked like they could walk home after dinner. That's the kind of place I always hope to find when visiting a neighborhood, somewhere that serves the people who live there first, and everyone else second. We asked for a window table, and the staff happily accommodated us. It's a small gesture, but one that made us feel welcomed instead of processed. The burger justified the trip on its own. I added the sunny-side-up egg, but the real star was the bacon-onion jam. It pulled everything together without overpowering the beef. The burger itself was tender, the sesame brioche somehow managed to hold everything together, and I appreciated the choice of Vermont white cheddar and Grillo's pickles. Those aren't flashy ingredients, they're just the right ones. Seeing Downeast Cider on tap certainly didn't hurt either. What impressed me most wasn't that Waverly was trying to reinvent the neighborhood burger. It wasn't. It simply executed it exceptionally well, with enough confidence to let good ingredients and thoughtful choices do the talking. Charlestown wouldn't just lose a burger if Waverly disappeared. It would lose one of those neighborhood places that quietly makes a neighborhood feel like itself. You come for a well executed meal, but you leave feeling like you've experienced a small piece of Charlestown. Places like that are a lot harder to replace than a good menu.

    Was in town for the marathon. Went a bit out of our way to visit this restaurant for brunch on…read moreSunday, the day before the marathon as part of my carb loading plan for the race. I really, really, REALLY wanted pancakes. The website said brunch goes until 3. We get there at 2:50. They said they were no longer serving brunch and they've moved to their limited menu, because brunch ends at 3. You can imagine the puzzled look on our faces when they told us it ended at 3pm but it's still 2:50pm. They said we would have been fine if we were 5 minutes earlier. Weird that 2:45 is fine but 2:50 is not. We were annoyed, to say the least. But we were hungry, we didn't know what else was around, we needed to eat, and it already took us 30 minutes to get here in an Uber. Two guys came in after us, also before 3, who were also really excited for brunch. They too were shut down. We ordered off the limited menu. It was okay. It was fine. But that's not the point. If brunch ends at 2:45, then say it ends at 2:45. Don't say it ends at 3pm and then shut people down because it secretly closes earlier. I get that you guys want to switch the kitchen over and prep for dinner, but serve the food you say you're going to serve at the time you're going to serve them. Nobody came in after us and the other party that was also in before 3, so it's not like there was some never ending rush of people trying to get brunch. I also don't recall anyone else coming in before we left probably an hour. Poor communication and poor customer service.
