Quaint local diner with a lot of regulars - many people walked in and the servers knew their names and were familiar with them which is neat! I'll echo what others have said that it's a bit pricey for what you get, but what isn't nowadays. The menu is extensive and they serve all day breakfast and lunch (eggs benedict only available weekends and holidays). We got their corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy, and patty melt, all which were delicious! It was some of the best corned beef hash I've had in a while but the portion wasn't that big. The sandwich came with a side, I chose salad, which was offered with their housemade greek dressing! The home fries could be better seasoned but overall not bad. They do have wifi but even on a weekday lunch they got pretty busy (no waits but tables almost full). Service was solid as well and the space was clean. read more

Tasty and homey spot for brunch with great service. They offer a pretty classic selection of breakfast items, which they prepare well. We ordered the biscuits & gravy as well as the eggs with home fries. The former of which showcased a freshly baked biscuit and meaty gravy. In the egg dish, the home fries were crispy and flavorful. Would definitely recommend stopping by. read more

First time customer. Came in for a late breakfast and had the Eggs Benedict. Although the eggs were a little too cooked, the overall serving was quite good and filling. And the coffee was pretty good, as well. The male server I had was very attentive and friendly. When I first arrived, there were only a few customers, but it became fairly busy near lunchtime. Overall, this was a good find of a typical breakfast diner, with hearty portions. read more

Had breakfast at this restaurant and the prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were big enough to share (if you choose to). I went here with 4 other friends who had had a meal here before. The service was very prompt, friendly, helpful and gave great tips on what foods the servers had tried before and they enjoyed. This place has on the street parking and many people come to enjoy a meal here. The atmosphere was comfortable with good lighting, a place to eat outside if you wish and family friendly. The food menu has many choices and large portion sizes so you will leave here satisfied and happy with what you had. read more

I was really happy to come here for brunch and had scrambled eggs and sausage and some toast. Eggs were nice and fluffy. The breakfast sausage tastedl was good and I love the home fries. Pancakes were big and fluffy, but additional cost for a real maple syrup. Coffee was pretty mediocre. Service was a little slow. Stafford didn't seem to know the menu enough and wasn't sure how many pieces of meat goes with the type of breakfast. She never checked on us and I had to wait her down overall it's a good place to come for breakfast in the neighborhood read more

Great food and service! Although I haven't lived in Newton in many years, I can't believe I missed coming here when I lived in MA. Definitely worth it! read more

This place is a hidden gem. It opened at 7:00 and filled right up. I must be the last to discover this place. I don't know how they remember everything on their menu. There was so much to choose from. As soon as I sat down I was given a menu and water. They had four people in the kitchen and three people handling the customers. I had the "ultimate omelet" with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. They gave me a choice of 5 cheeses. Then I had raisin toast. I usually don't see this option. The interior was all wood, finished wooden counter, wooden booths, pretty ritzy for a greesy spoon. I wish I had found this place sooner. I would return. read more

The food is excellent! They serve breakfast and lunch . You get so much to eat and you can take some home. The staff could be nicer.

OMG, we love this place so much. We come here every Saturday and still can't get enough. Drinks are AMAZING. Food is PHENOMENAL. Owners are the nicest people in the world. I truly can not understand or believe that any legit coustimer could give them anything but 10 out of 5 stars. read more

I've ordered take-out and delivery from Village several times, and the food is always delicious and cooked exactly as requested. Pick 2/3/4 is the best deal in breakfast. Pick any items you want from the menu for a set price. Massive menu, so I can't speak for most of it, but I've always been very happy with breakfast foods and soups. The food may not be gourmet, it's just always good and, more importantly, never bad. read more

Ridiculously expensive for what you get. Almost $25 for breakfast w/ coffee?... and that's not including the tip. I'll pass read more

They will not seat you in order of arrival even if they put u on a list. They will serve others that come after you after you are seated. You will ask for your name and how many You will wait for 30 min They will seat others that came well after you before you even though your party number is the same. When you are finally sat they will take orders from people that were sat after you. Chaos and disorganized service read more

Great find on a rainy drive home. Hard to choose from this menu, but I feel like you can't go wrong regardless of what you order! Service was top notch as well!!! read more

We stopped by for a quick breakfast and it was fantastic. Not too busy, but it got busier as we were eating. We got the biscuits and gravy, village classic, and some fruit. The French toast was good but the biscuits and gravy were so good. It was a little on the saltier side, but the fruit was a good side to have. We will definitely come back! read more

Is there a better breakfast diner/restaurant in Boston area... I don't think so! I dream about their variations of eggs Benedict. My latest favorite is "the southern" (eggs, biscuit, sausage patties, gravy). The "hungry man" breakfast platter is so big even my 200 hundred pound, 18 year old son is full after eating it. One critique... pancakes could be a less dense... more fluff & puff. One tip... Get there before 9:30am on a Saturday or Sunday in order to avoid a 20-30 minute wait. read more

Nice little cafe, very welcoming team. Gave me a sense of a family run establishment. The food is like any typical breakfast brunch cafe. I liked that the food was not overly salty like other places. The corn beef hash was right on the mark in terms of flavor. The hash browns were toasty, some were a little more crispy/burned than others but nice crunch. Not pricey but the place can get busy. It was quite noisy once the morning crowd showed up and I could barely hear myself. Overall I would go here again for a townie your breakfast. read more

Great food, nice portions, and the service was very attentive. Loved the size of the pancakes too! The seating area isn't big so you may have to wait a bit during busier times. Chose this place based on the posted reviews. My girlfriend and I were not disappointed. read more

Always great food , service friendly . Always go there for my Asian chicken salad it close by to my home and I will always have a great meal

Food always cooked just the way you want it. I always feel like I'm going into a family home to eat.

This is my favorite breakfast place. I've been going here since I was a kid and no other place beats it. The vibe is great and the food is always so good. read more

I highly recommend the Village Cafe for breakfast & lunch! The omelet was so delicious, my husband devoured it before I could take a picture. My turkey club had fresh lettuce & tomato & had homemade turkey breast. We also had homemade chips (served fresh & warm) as a side with the club. I took a Greek salad home and it was big enough for 2! A must stop when in the Newton area! read more

Came here after volunteering from cradles to crayons. Mainstay diner with solid breakfast and surprisingly great sandwiches. I got the French dip, and other diners I was with got melts and Reuben's which they all recommend. The French dip was on a butter toasted bun, that was delicate with each bite but did not fall apart when dipped into the au juis. I got the French fries which are your standard steak cut fries, which were crispy but could've used some salt. They don't overload you with fries, but give you just the right amount to keep you satisfied. They also give you a healthy sized dill pickle that seemed fresh made or not your standard jarred pickle. The Reuben was packed with meat and sauerkraut, all the guys ordering it were quietly the entire meal until their sandwich was gone. I would recommend only groups of 6 or smaller, best for a group of 4. Anything more, you run the risk of getting split up read more

Solid breakfast with lots of choices. Best biscuits and gravy I've had in Massachusetts.

Great place to go to if one does not feel like going the 5 or so miles to head downtown. Village Cafe is open super early, has a great variety of dinner food, and they even serve drinks bright early. Great place to go and hang out at if off of work. Service is great too and the place has a local family-type environment. read more

Went with a group for breakfast/ brunch. Didn't feel much like breakfast food, so I got a chicken finger sub buffalo style on a whim. Now, I wouldn't normally do this as I grew up in Buffalo, NY, and I'm usually left disappointed but it was the best buffalo style chicken finger I've had in the Boston area. The ambience is classic diner. Everyone else's food looked good, too. read more

Good local spot for breakfast. Fair priced meals with friendly wait staff. Get there early on weekends or you will be waiting for a while. Delicious pancakes and made to order omelets. Homefries, Bacon and all of the usual breakfast offerings including french toast and Belgium waffles with Bottomless coffee. Parking can be tricky because it's a busy street so plan on walking a little after finding a spot. read more

Phenomenal service here. Came for breakfast and ordered an omelette and breakfast sandwich with avocados. The omelette was so delicious and huge! Generous portions of veggies and cheese too. The boyfriend LOVED the breakfast sandwich especially with the addition of avocado on it. The breakfast potatoes are divine, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I loved them. Also they let me substitute spinach for bread on my omelette so I got an extra dose of veggies which I desperately needed. Would definitely come here again. read more

This place was stunningly bad, how do you mess up breakfast. The bacon was hard as a rock, the pancakes and the biscuits were like stale just crumbling when you tried to cut them up, absolutely no taste. Maybe I got the wrong thing. read more

Nice breakfast place. I had the coconut crusted French toast, thought it was great. My daughter had a "short stack" of chocolate chip pancakes and took half home. I was impressed with our server, Christina. She was quick, efficient and very friendly. A couple sitting down as we were leaving brought their dog, and Christina brought water for him! We sat outside on a nice day. Not many outdoor seats but nice area. read more
