    Supreme omelet (front) and corned beef hash omelet (back).  Home potatoes and toast included.
    Maria B.

    My husband and I had breakfast here today and the staff were so friendly. I had the supreme omelette (cream cheese, sweet corn and tomato inside) and my husband had the corned beef hash omelette. We enjoyed both. Both came with home potatoes (cubed) and toast. They also had numerous Brazilian dishes on the menu, in addition to breakfast. It's a small, cash-only restaurant.

    Chocolate French Toast

    Now this is a special place and I am so happy to have found it. Cozy corner indeed and it was awesome. First time here and won't be the last, I'll make my trip into Boston for here! The service and owners are outstanding. They love what they do and you see it in their passion. So so so kind and helpful! I have celiac so I need to eat gluten free and the owner gave me a few great options (and they were great!) My mom had the chocolate French toast, super sweet and extremely chocolatey but she loved it! I had the basic breakfast with eggs, ham and potatoes. The portion sizes here are massive and delicious! Made to order and made with love. Can't wait to come back!

    I saw a photo of these chocolate French toast on Yelp, and went there exclusively for it. They were absolutely delicious! We split them, and the plate in front of me is half of a regular order. Very generous portion! Service was great, and you can tell there are a lot of locals. Very cute cozy atmosphere as well.

    Came in on a Monday morning around 11 o'clock. It was fairly busy. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and our order was taken right away. The server we had was very nice ! She was very polite. Our food came out very quickly and it was delicious! We ordered the Picanha Steak Plate & Eggs Benedict. The steak plate was great! And the eggs Benedict, in my opinion, the hollandaise sauce was a bit runny, but still a great plate! If we are ever in the state again, we will definitely be back! SIDE NOTE : If you plan on eating here be aware that this restaurant is CASH ONLY!

    I visited Theo's based on the positive Yelp reviews, and I'm glad I did! Theo's is a small spot with a cozy, homely atmosphere. Just a heads-up, they only accept cash, which I didn't realize at first (but there's a small sign on a torn piece of paper inside, which I missed until I noticed everyone paying with cash). Thankfully, they were kind enough to let me go to the nearby ATM to withdraw money. I sat at the high-top area and ordered an omelet with white toast and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate came in a glass that I absolutely loved, and the omelet was good, though it could have used a little more salt and pepper. The server was friendly, and the owners (I think?) gave off a warm and welcoming vibe. Although it was a bit of a surprise with the cash-only policy, I would definitely return if I'm ever back in Boston to try out their lunch options!

    hot sausage and provolone omelet

    Firstly the service is outstanding. It felt like being in someone's home in the best way possible. I had the hot sausage and provolone omelet with some of their house made hot sauce and it was divine. Mind you, i'm not a big breakfast person to begin with so that's saying a lot.

    Hot sausage Italian omelette
    Anonymous L.

    First off, for the tiny space they have to work with, they have mastered how to be the most efficient as possible, down to the line outside being provided menus! I had an Italian omelette with hot Italian sausage, provolone cheese and lots of peppers and onions! It was delicious! Unfortunately, after that there was nothing special...pancakes were average and NO REAL MAPLE SYRUP...a big mistake for any breakfast place! Home fries were plane and not cooked enough for my liking. The older woman there was a doll but the younger tall lady had 0 personality, don't think I saw her smile once. Overall, experience was average

    Food was delish, people are friendly, prices are different than what is posted, reminder cash only

    The service was amazing, everyone is checking in to make sure you're taken care of. They make it a point to talk to everyone walking in. It appeared to be run entirely by family (I could be wrong with that) and it felt very authentic and local. My husband and I originally went in solely because his name is also Theo, but we're so grateful we did! The Italian Cold Cut was stuffed full and delicious. Cute spot in the North End with a few tables inside. Based on what I've seen online, they appear to have a great breakfast selection.

    French Toast
    Denere P.

    The food here is amazing. Every single bite of pancakes had chocolate chips and bananas. The bacon was crispy. The French toast was so good. And the steak and eggs were a hit too. The servers and staff were super friendly and helpful. We went with their suggestions and loved it so much we came back the next day for round 2. It's a cozy place as the name says but enough space for small and medium sized groups.

    Eggs over easy, potatoes, sausage, and excellently prepared wheat toast, The coffee was delicious. - A breakfast plate includes scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, a sausage patty, toasted bread, and a fork. The plate is on a table next to a window with a view of parked cars and buildings outside. A bottle of hot sauce and a cup of coffee are also visible on the table. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment, possibly a breakfast restaurant.

    This is a wonderful family owned local restaurant that delivers on food, service, and ambiance.

    Found this little neighborhood gem of a cozy cafe located in little Italy that was open on Thanksgiving day until 2pm. Very nice genuine hospitality and a nice selection of sandwiches, breakfast and brunch items. Very friendly family and staff running it. Not too big but cozy! A neighborhood staple cafe with their own homemade hot spicy mustard that you can purchase a bottle of to take home!

    Nice out of the way place. Breakfast all day - great cheese omelette and a turkey club! Located about 5 min from the Revere House and right near the Old North Church/Revere Statue. Super friendly staff! Our Theo picked the restaurant for lunch - we got to meet Theo himself!

    I walked over from Chinatown Monday and saw you were not open. Are you open Wednesday a.m.?

    We were there in July 2023. At that time their hours stated that they open everyday at 6am.

Thick-cut…read morebread, perfectly soft inside with a slight crisp on the edges, and loaded with Nutella without being overly messy. The strawberries and banana balanced it out so it didn't feel too heavy. Portion size was solid--borderline dessert-for-breakfast, but in a good way. Coffee was decent, nothing crazy. Place is small and gets packed, so expect a wait. Overall: great spot if you want something sweet and indulgent for brunch.

    I wasn't as impressed with Cafe Bonjour as my chum was, and it's clearly well-liked; part of it…read moremight have been the rainy weather, part of it might have been my lighter lunch selection but this one just didn't really hit with me. I stopped by in the early afternoon this past Monday with my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality. This establishment is pretty close to a prior Airbnb we've stayed at and is in a neighborhood we've spent a solid amount of time in, so it's been off and on our radar for a few years. I'm pretty sure we attempted to stop by on an earlier trip but it was too busy - a tribute to the restaurant for sure. Two elements stood out to me almost immediately when we walked in, one good, one bad. On a positive note, the service was excellent - that came across in waves. This is a busy restaurant in a tourist area, and nine out of 10 times, the hospitality would suffer as a result. Not here; we were warmly received as soon as we walked in and were consistently attended to throughout our visit. Top notch in that regard. Con? Personal preference on my end, it just felt kind of grimy in there, like it had taken on the personality of its neighborhood, which is in my opinion not the best and has a homeless issue. There's definitely some personality in there - some gorgeous wood paneling and whatnot - but it was a little too chaotic/claustrophobic for me. I think there's a way they could upgrade the interior without compromising the uniqueness of Cafe Bonjour. I was at the part of our mini-vacation where I didn't necessarily have regrets over my food naughtiness, but my palate definitely needed some legitimate nourishment. I opted for the Signature Blueberry Bowl,, which predictably featured a great many blueberries, and was essentially an acai bowl interpretation with bananas and peanut butter (similar to the Acai Power Bowl at Playa Bowls). It was fine - good portion for what it was. I think they should have made it more...solid, if that makes sense. Like make the blended blueberry aspect quasi frozen so it had more substance to it. Without doing so, it just seemed too liquidy and harder to eat as a result. It was also a little bland and could have used an additional ingredient or two, and the hunks of peanut butter were difficult to blend into the bowl, so sometimes you'd end up inadvertently getting nothing but a mouthful of peanut butter. Not the best, but also probably not their biggest menu selling point. For what it's worth, my chum loved her dish (I think she got the Bennies) and enjoyed her time here immensely. This is one I'd like a do-over on and would be more than willing to come back with a better appetite and revisit - I don't know that my opinions on the vibe/atmosphere are going to change (though maybe some of that is dependent on the weather and this place really shines when the sun is out), but I probably didn't get the best that Cafe Bonjour has to offer.

    Backstory to help explain the significance of the fact that I didn't get coffee with my meal…read morehere...I drink buckets a day...I must have coffee, as a necessity. The scrambled eggs were perfectly done, not runny or gooey like other places. The potatoes perfectly seasoned and slightly crunchy out and soft inside. The Banana bourbon French toast...Is the best breakfast food I've ever had and I eat out frequently. I literally scraped my plate clean. I would have done the same with my eggs, potatoes and Turkey sausage but I couldn't eat another bite. I wish we had a North Street Grille here but perhaps it's better that I not have easy access to the quality of food otherwise I'd need a new bigger size wardrobe. If in Boston this is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. If we had room and weren't leaving town the same night we'd have bought the banana bread. They provide complementary for each table and it's one of the bestest most beautifully made banana breads I've had. Service was fast and friendly. It's a cute and quaint little place packed to gills with people which is fine because everyone is friendly and the food is divine!!!!

    I visited North Street Grille in the North End of Boston and overall had a really solid brunch…read moreexperience. We ordered the French toast and the huevos rancheros. The French toast was absolutely outstanding!! Easily one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful, it's a must-order and alone makes this place worth visiting. The huevos rancheros were decent, but not quite at the same level. They felt a bit less authentic than expected, and the hot sauce option was limited to Tabasco. I think a more traditional, homemade Mexican-style salsa would have elevated the dish significantly and made it shine. Because of that, I'm giving North Street Grille 4 stars. The French toast is phenomenal, and with a little more attention to authenticity on certain savory dishes, this spot could easily be a 5-star brunch destination. I'd definitely come back! Especially for the French toast.

Everything was perfect, except... it was incredibly sour, almost pungent. The sauce was just pure canned tomato flavor, and the pickled peppers were also extremely sour, with a hint of spiciness that made the flavor even more intense. I guess I just couldn't get used to it, as a Chinese; but I'll respect this seasoning, as it's very common in the West. After taking it home, I reheated it with sugar, black pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese, and mixed with pasta--it instantly felt much smoother and more delicious! The restaurant's decor was simple and rustic, with natural-colored wooden tables that looked gentle and warm in the sunlight. I really liked it.
