Making my way to the airport, I wanted to find a place that way slightly closer but not somewhere I have gone before. Parking is easy since there was free street parking close by. The cafe is a smaller locally owned establishment and very well clearly a fan favorite. On a Sunday morning, almost every booth and seat was occupied. The menu features many of the breakfast fan favorites like omelettes, pancakes, and more. Venturing from my usual eggs benedict, I decided to get their chorizo breakfast burrtio. The chorizo was salty and the eggs were cheesy but I think seeing everyone else's dishes, this is certainly not their house favorite. BUT, my family loved their Morning Star breakfast, Irish eggs benedict, bacon egg & cheese omelette, Hungry Man Special, and corn beef hash. Peep my pictures to truly appreciate that they taste like how they look! From enjoying my breakfast burrito to trying some of my family's dishes, we were all more than happy with our wholesome and authentically American breakfast. The staff were so kind and an honorable mention has to be made for their wall full of acknowledged Winthrop Veterans. Absolutely loved my experience here and already looking forward to the next time I can come back to this cozy environment. read more

A quiet Sunday afternoon in search of breakfast on our Boston trip to the Music Circus, and we'll definitely come here again! We started with a LARGE strawberry smoothie that hit the spot, and then enjoyed an omelette, and eggs Benedict. Yum! The owner has created a beautiful community of caring about our Veterans. History, humility, honor, remembrance. Please support this business. read more

We went there for breakfast today and had to wait in a long line to order. The food was good, but the person taking orders was extremely rude and disrespectful. Their behavior toward us felt biased and unwelcoming. It completely ruined the experience. No matter how good the food is, no customer deserves to be treated that way. read more

The food is always great, the service is always quick and lively, it's a very comfortable feel and always clean.

Perfectly good diner style breakfast. The cheese in the sausage egg and cheese was melty and delicious. Home fries were crispy but could've used some salt. Chocolate chip pancakes were YUM. read more

It's no use if the service is fast but they're not friendly and they don't have good lighting either, the place feels cold and dark, poor customer service, this place is terrible. read more

This place is wonderful! The staff is super friendly and the food is great. Their portions fill me up, it's flavorful and well made. They are happy to make reasonable requests which is great for people with special food needs. I love getting their breakfasts and iced coffee when I go. And the best part is that the price is very reasonable! read more

Food was decent but overall experience was terrible. Extremely rude man behind the counter stopped what he was doing and assumed my boyfriend who was waiting in line to order like everyone else was an uber driver and shouted for him to go outside through the other door....talk about racially profiling.. read more

Ordered pancakes, bacon and home fries: pancakes were a bit chewy but the flavor was good, home fries nice and crispy but lacking any flavor and bacon was half crispy half rubbery (need more consistency). Overall it gets the job done for a simple breakfast. read more

We ordered breakfast for delivery because we were, well... hung over lol. I ordered the blueberry pancakes and the hungry man breakfast I think it was called, and he ordered the chocolate chip pancakes with a meatlovers omelet. Everything arrived perfectly cooked, warm and delicious. I'd really love to pop in on a day I feel great because the food was phenomenal! read more

Update: I reviewed these people and Gave them high praise for what I thought was the perfect BLT sub hoping and asking for it not to be a fluke. After ordering from them two more times I am sorry to say it was a fluke. The first of the two repeat orders they used romaine lettuce very little Mayo and the bacon was so hard you could pick a lock with it. This second of the two repeat orders is pictured... they went back to shredded iceberg but the bread was so stale and hard it felt like they meant to do that. I mean how in the hell do you put a sub roll that hard stale and crumbly into a take out box and fill it with ingredients and not know you are sending out a piece of crap? I feel like I am owed an apology , it was that bad. read more

Great food and prices. Steak Fajitas are delicious. Friendly staff.Always fast and courteous service.

Service and food was very good. There was a couple that questioned their bill as I walked in. They were charged 50 cents extra for sour dough bread. The menu stated something like your choice of bread. Than $2.00 for beef hash when the menu stated $1.50. Also $2.00 extra for provolone cheese in a omelet. This was not stated in the menu or when they ordered. The husband said, I don't mind paying but I felt taken. read more

My favorite place. I drive 4 miles to come here once a week for breakfast on my day off, and don't think I didn't do my research first! I love a good diner breakfast and when I moved to East Boston I decided I'd try a different local diner each week until I found my spot. I was kind of surprised at how many mediocre places there are and I was beginning to doubt East Boston's commitment to a great breakfast... this may be because The Winthrop Center Cafe doesn't come up on Apple Maps when you search "Diner" (I think "Breakfast cafe" is what did the trick - like I said, I did my research). Anyway as mentioned above, I found my spot. The food is excellent, the man behind the counter who I assume is the owner is always super friendly and you can tell that he's got plenty of regulars by the amount of carry out customers that call him by name. The ambiance of the place is pretty unassuming. You've got your New England-mandatory portrait of JFK at Cape Cod and usually a handful of friendly seniors getting together for coffee & eggs. Ultimately it's function over fashion which is exactly how I like it. As for the food, their breakfast special is always done just right and it comes with some of the best hash browns I've ever had. They have a Brazilian menu insert tucked into the standard menu and some other unique options like "one bite sandwiches" but don't go too crazy with the menu like some of those places that offer too many things at pretty good quality instead of a few great options. Anyway that's about all there is to say... go sit at the counter and have an awesome breakfast, this place deserves your business! PS they have great coffee options too read more

This was the worst pancake I have ever eaten. It was so dry that it turned to crumbs immediately upon putting my fork into it.

We found this cafe when searching for breakfast, it is a little gem in Winthrop! Our service was excellent, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the breakfast food was delicious! We'll be adding this to our weekend breakfast rotation! read more

Food is delicious. The place is packed on the weekends. The takeaway business is brisk. Service is a bit slower than expected.

Food was delicious, the hungry man really does the job the man who took my order was so nice and just made me feel welcome in there great service, highly recommend you try the mango smoothie too read more

We don't typically get breakfast out, but we had family in town and wanted to pick up breakfast before a day out and was surprised at how good this place was. I got a bacon egg and cheese on an English muffin with home fries and it was the best one I've ever had. The egg was cooked perfectly, bacon was crispy, and the cheese was melted. Even the home fries were great! Everyone else loved their food (Benedict, omelette, and sausage egg and cheese). Will definitely be going back. read more

Cute little cafe with great breakfast options and very friendly staff.

I love this place, it's Yummy & the breakfast here is delicious!! Great items for a good price

Quaint little cafe/diner in the heart of Winthrop. Made a stop here for breakfast on Saturday last month and ordered their Irish Pride Special, which is a take on eggs benedict in honor of St. Patrick's Day. The eggs were poached perfectly, with the yolk oozing out over the sauce and corned beef hash nicely, and it helped cut the saltiness of the hash. Very tasty dish, and the side of vegetables served with the eggs were good to help cut the richness of the eggs over the hash. Service was friendly and very attentive. Nice place for a bite. read more

So glad to have checked and found this place on Yelp. We both had breakfast. The potatoes and sausage were excellent . My breakfast sandwich was scrambled eggs and bacon. This was also on par. The service was really good. The waitress was so sweet and a pleasure to talk to. A little out of our way but will definitely get back there. read more

They have the best steak and cheese I've ever eaten. I can't order steak and cheese anywhere else now. I also love their home fries, sautéed vegetables and egg sandwiches. I am looking forward to trying all the new Brazilian options. Everything is well seasoned and made to order. The coffee is smooth and not bitter. read more

Steak and cheese sub was amazing! It was bigger than I was expecting! Lots of meat!!!

Amazing food! Finally a restaurant with a quality salad!! It is not that much money to put broccoli, peppers and carrots in your salad y'all. Thank you Winthrop Center Cafe for setting the tone. Most restaurants want to give you some cheap lettuce with no flavor. The salad, the eggs benedict and the blueberry pancakes were delicious! Go there when you visit the boston area. A little out of the city but worth it. read more

Best little local breakfast spot! Awesome staff and the food is phenomenal! The iced coffees and pancakes are always so good.

I hate to leave a bad review of a small community business. I am gonna report on the facts here. We ordered two breakfasts. Both hand a mix of potatoes that were either mostly raw or soggy. My eggs had an eggshell in them. The ham tasted funny to me. The corned beef has was good. The sausage was good. The toast was good. I won't be back. I hope my order was a one off and I wish them well. read more

A hidden cafe transporting you to simpler and happier times. Picnic style table clothes with pictures and profiles of servicemen and women. The clientele filling those seats are neighborhood buddies who reminisce of their childhood games and stories. You feel like you walked in to a place that stopped in time, and you are allowed to witness this and take part just for this short time. The food has a home made flavor that upon walking in here you just knew you were going to get, and it does not disappoint. The coffee refills are key to the local diner vibe. We enjoyed it and def. recommend. read more
