    Blueberry Muffin French Toast
    Jessica M.

    Went here for breakfast one Sunday morning. My daughter was participating in a nearby event and we decided to go out for brunch. We expected it to be busy since it was around 10:45, but it only took 5-10 minutes for a booth to open up. There was a good selection to choose from. I had the Blueberry Muffin French Toast with a side of bacon, we also had the lemon blueberry pancakes and an omelet. Everything was delicious and reasonably portioned. The bacon was cooked perfectly crispy without being overdone. The waitress was one of maybe 2 for all of the booths yet she came around regularly, ensured our coffee was topped off and that we were happy with our food. One thing to know is that it's small and a little tight. If you have issues with feeling crowded it may not be the best choice during peak hours. I'm not crazy about things like elevators, etc. but once we got into a booth there was plenty of space. However, there was a section where tables for 2 were placed in the aisle between the booths. I wouldn't have wanted to sit at those tables but it seemed like they were reserving those as a last resort as no one was encouraged to sit there versus the tables they were bussing.

    Went here for breakfast yesterday & have to say that it is better than ever! I've been going here for about 35 years & have seen it go through a few different owners. It took a hit during the lockdown but it's back better than ever. DD & I shared the ghost pepper omelette & blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup and they hit it out of the park!! Very Spicy! The place is cute & freshened up since the last time we were there. Service was friendly, professional & awesome. They are not open very much but they're worth hunting down their hours and getting there & waiting if necessary.

    I'm happy to say Shawsheen Luncheonette has reopened and is mostly unchanged, despite being under new ownership. For those who don't already know, Shawsheen has a great breakfast menu with something for everyone from pancakes, waffles and French toast to 17 types of omelets, Eggs Benedict and eggs fiesta. There's even an "Eat Green Eat Clean section with some very delicious and healthy dishes like the green goddess omelet (this is in addition to the 16 above!) The service is very friendly and attentive - not like other fast paced breakfast places - here you never wait for coffee or a check. Can't say enough about how great the people are here. Easy parking on the street in front or in the lot in back. The buzz among everyone eating there (many long time regulars) is that we're all very happy it's back!

    Clean place

    The gang and I were in the area and this place was recommended by a local. Clean and comfortable for its size. (Small place) We were able to sit right down and order right away. Service was good. We ordered a number of different breakfast options and most were good. Coffee was okay. Next time we are in the area will be back.

    Very quaint old school diner space. Friendly service with a large breakfast menu. Parking is tough, otherwise I'd go more.

    Plant based Korean burger was not great. Soggy from the sauce and slaw, very spicy (to me!), and…read moredid not capture that burger mouth feel. Their specialty ice coffee is aight. Tastes watered down. REGARDLESS, ALL THE STARS IN THE WORLD for their drinks. The peach shaken ice tea and raspberry rose teas have every complex note they describe. I'm jaded by all the fruity drinks/tea blends out there that are just too sweet and artificial. Nan's makes it perfectly. The white peach actually shines through, which is rare in my experience. The raspberry is REAL. Speaking as someone who enjoys artificial raspberry flavors of jam donuts and bottled ice tea...idk if Nan's makes it for real, but, if so, you can taste it! You still taste the tea, the fruits, the florals, it's not watered down, and best of all--not overtly sweet. Their fruit drinks have the perfect balance. It's genuinely refreshing and delicious. I find myself craving their teas all the time!!

    **We found our new favorite spot!**…read more My partner and I stumbled upon Nan's Kitchen and what a delightful discovery it was! As first-timers, we were treated with such warmth and patience by the staff - no pressure, no rush, just genuine hospitality that made us feel right at home. We started by sharing the hatch chili farro bowl with roasted cauliflower and hominy, fragrant ginger carrots, and lemon mustard salmon. The tomato harissa sauce and zhoug were absolutely incredible - seriously, these sauces are to die for! Everything was perfectly seasoned and the flavors were so well-balanced. Pictures are not perfect, but the lighting was so warm and comfortable, you will have to excuse them! Halfway through our meal, I spotted they had coconut carrot soup with chickpeas and ginger on the menu and literally ran back to order a cup. We ended up sharing that too, and it was such a smart move - the soup was aromatic and comforting with just the right amount of spice from the ginger. To drink, we had fresh lemonade and iced tea (both perfectly refreshing), and couldn't resist finishing with their banana pudding, which was the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. What really stood out beyond the exceptional food was how accommodating and friendly the service was. They made splitting dishes feel completely natural and were so welcoming when I dashed back for that soup! The attention to flavor and seasoning here is remarkable - every single component of our meal was thoughtfully prepared. We're already planning our next visit. Nan's Kitchen has absolutely earned a permanent spot on our regular rotation! Highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared food with service that makes you feel like family.
