I went in this past Sunday at around 10:30 ish. It was busy, but not terrible. It's a cute little place and they do have a decent size parking lot (at least for the Boston area). It was just me and there was only about a 5 minute wait. The hostess was really nice. I sat at a 2 top table and Juan was my server. He was very busy buzzing about, but was very nice and attentive without hovering. I ordered the 2 eggs, scrambled with bacon - soft, home fries, and sourdough then one plain pancake. I also ordered Pepsi and a small glass of milk. You could tell the kitchen was busy but the food didn't take more than 20 minutes - it came out hot and the quality was nice - very fluffy eggs, not over greasy bacon, etc. I was really happy with how everything tasted and I'm not a big sourdough fan usually or I would say I skew towards sourdough neutral now because it was very soft and had a great flavor! The pancake also had a really good lightly sweet taste. I would definitely order it again. My only gripe (and this is a person preference) was the green onion/scallion on the home fries and that there wasn't seasoning on them. They really didn't need the chopped green onion scattered and I just kind of brushed them off especially when I'm just sprinkling them with salt and dipping them in ketchup. It was around $26 for the food, 2 Pepsi's, and a glass of milk which I thought was good for everything that I got and it was all really yummy. I will definitely come back and also maybe try their savory lunch options.
Brunch spots are a dime a dozen these days, but finding one that actually delivers on the hype is a rare feat. Milkweed manages to stand out in a crowded scene by focusing on what matters most: incredibly fresh and flavorful food. The menu spans breakfast, brunch, and lunch with a level of seasoning that hits the mark every time. These are my favorites so far: -The Sweet Dutch Baby: A crowd-pleaser that manages to be both airy and indulgent. - Corned Beef Hash: Super fresh and flavorful. You get an entire roasted roma tomato. - Cheesy Spinach Omelette: Simple, fresh, and very cheesy. - The iced coffees and teas are well-crafted as well. - For those looking for a lighter start, they offer great "healthier" alternatives like smoothies and loaded fruit and yogurt bowls, making it an easy choice for groups with different dietary preferences. The Experience The atmosphere is very homey. Staff are friendly. Place is clean and doesn't have that diner stickiness. The service can be a bit of a rollercoaster. There are moments when it feels like you've faded into the background or been forgotten entirely. But the food is worth the wait. If you're looking for a quick "in-and-out" meal, this might not be the place. But if you value high-quality, delicious brunch offerings and don't mind a slower pace, Milkweed is a local gem that delivers where it counts.
I'd give this a 3.8 but Yelp doesn't let you do that. Pretty spacious place with ample seating and parking which is huge. Very friendly service. What we ordered: - Strawberry Nutella French Toast: 3/5, this was a lot better the first time I had it. This time it was super dry and the strawberries were very bruised and mushy - Savory Dutch pancake: 5/5, such an interesting dish, very filling, generous portions of eggs/burrata/prosciutto - Mushroom Florentine omelet: 5/5, my mom absolutely loved it. Said they were generous with the toppings cooked in. - Tater tot casserole: 3/5, guest said it was average but wish there was more egg in it - Corn beef hash: 4.5/5, guest said it was real, high quality corn beef hash (versus from a can). Took 1/2 point off because the eggs weren't cooked perfectly. We liked the vibes of this place and the creative dishes, will definitely be back to try new things.
This is such a cute looking place. There are booths, long tables and an extensive bar. The bar was built to hang a handbag or backpack with hooks near every seat. There are electric outlets to charge your phone or plug in your laptop. This is a nice feature that more restaurants need to have. I had the fruit and yogurt bowl. It had a great number of kind of fruits, a nice granola and Greek yogurt. The thing I didn't like was how much honey they drizzled over the fruit. The fruit was naturally sweet and a smaller amount of honey would give it flavor but not overpower it. My husband had the steak and cheese scramble. Although he liked it, it would have been better if they offered a regular egg scramble with vegetables. They only off that with egg whites. Our friend had the grilled vegetable gyro which she enjoyed. The need to constantly include a starch can detract from those dishes where people are watching their carbs. There was a statement t on each menu to limit any changes to a dish to one change. This makes it difficult for someone who has allergies along with strong dislikes. They have a nice big parking lot which is great for patrons. It is set back on a major street and that makes it quieter. A very nice place to eat.
It is a lovely place for brunch. This location is nice as it is part of a strip mall and has a parking lot. We went for Saturday brunch and only had a 10-15 min wait. The staff were kind and efficient. I got the huevos rancheros. The corn tortilla was fresh with a runny egg. The sauces on top provided a great tangy flavor the the savoriness of the dish. I add some cholula for some extra spice and it was great. Would love to come again to try the other things on the menu.
I came on new year's day at ~12pm and got the last open table. Service was pretty slow, but i didn't mind. The iced latte was not good -- it was watery and acidic. The food was good, but wasn't anything crazy. Most of the food in the morning madness was standard breakfast food, but the pancake was pretty yummy (mainly because it tasted like it was fried in butter haha). The pistachio cream on the french toast was also very nice and it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I believe this location is relatively new, so it is very nice inside.
It was packed here and the parking lot is really small but clearly it gets busy here for a reason! Honestly rounding up from 3.5 stars because my meal was mediocre at best, the standout was the smoothie. My friend enjoyed her pancakes which you can't really mess up anyways but i would say my expectations were a bit too high from the reviews i saw but if anything i would just recommend against the hash.
Newer brunch and all around solid American fare restaurant in the Dorchester area. A casual, but warm and friendly welcoming atmosphere with pleasant staff. There is lot parking available and it is walk-in only for now. This is their second location. I was excited to see they offer smoothies including a green-based one, and you can select what liquid you'd like mixed in. I was a little surprised it came iced, but it was tasty all the same. I got mine with coconut water, you can also add in protein powder and etc to customize it even more. The bar tender shared that the specials change every few days. There were multiple brunch items we wanted to try, but I started off with their Dutch pancake (similar to a popover), and he got a chorizo Benefict. The meats left a little bit of a weird after taste, but overall the food was good and we're definitely returning to try more items. Great spot for small or mid-sized groups!
So we were staying nearby in Quincy, MA and decided to check this place out since it had some healthy options. And OMG we were pleasantly surprised and quite frankly, amazed at the tasty food, hospitable service, AND very clean and hustling-bustling atmosphere of this restaurant. We had breakfast skillets that were amazing! They were so tasty and full of flavor. Even the fruit was unusually sweet and on point. And the quesadilla - very, very Yummy. I also had a smoothie with double protein, and it was actually something so tasty, I'd love to drink it on any given day, not just for the nutrient benefit, but for the refreshing feeling I got afterwards!! I highly suggest this place for your breakfast, brunch and lunch needs!
Had a friend take me to this new spot in Boston apparently they have a few spots in the Boston area. But this location is new. From first walking in this place it had a cool vibe & a cool atmosphere. All the food I saw looked fresh, clean & looked really good. I thought the menu wasn't too pricey & very affordable in price. Food also came out in a timely manner, even though it was busy. Food tasted really good and I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.. owner seemed very friendly & was paying attention on what was going on inside his restaurant. Thanks Craig for sharing this cool spot W/me after an awesome weekend in Boston for the wu-Tang concert...!!! Go this place out
This location is new, and they were busy on a Sunday. The ambiance was great this location is much bigger than the one over by longwood. I got the lucky charm pancakes and loved them. Something I wouldn't get next time is my tea, but I think it's just because I don't like hibiscus. Service was friendly and fast
I like this new location. They have free parking and more space. Right now they just do breakfast, brunch, and lunch.
Pleasantly impressed! Decent parking surrounding the bldg, Hostess was cheerful on a late Saturday morning. Only 4 bar counter seats were available in the 50+ seating space and we gladly accepted the offer. Kitchen staff were all very busy, yet took the time to acknowledge everyone as they approached the counter. The manager even took a second to intervene while a question was being asked to ensure service was rendered accordingly. Food was good, plentiful and fresh. It arrived within 15 mins and a to go tray was requested immediately. Coffee comes in a huge mug and it too was good. Will return and will take advantage of the full bar next time! read more

We had a fantastic experience! The vegetarian egg white scramble was absolutely delicious--flavorful and perfectly complemented by the basil pesto. My husband had the smash burger on gluten-free toast with coleslaw and loved every bite. The food was beautifully plated and full of flavor. The service was just as impressive. Santiago, our server, was incredibly attentive, and every staff member we encountered was warm and kind. We were greeted by another gentleman when we first arrived who made us feel so welcome--it really set the tone for the whole meal. Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. I highly recommend it--we'll definitely be back! read more

The service was very fast! A nice breakfast spot in dorchester. A cute restaurant perfect for a quick brunch bite. I got the crispy bacon omelette. It didn't really taste like an omelette. I would come back to try something else, such as the lucky charm pancakes. But it's worth checking out! read more

Guess I made it back the next day! I got the avocado toast today and it was good but interesting. Not sure if I'd get it again because it was loaded with cottage cheese more than avocado. My friend ordered the shakshuka and enjoyed it. I can't wait to try more things in the future! read more
