Owner is really friendly (but also sassy, in a good way) and also gives off elder queer vibes. Extremely hospitable. Interior feels a little old, but in a nostalgic way that reminds you of a home full of love. Relatively quiet, extraordinarily low prices especially in this day and age (the $8 sandwiches really caught me off guard), and the tuna melt I had was quite literally the best sandwich I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. 10/10, would definitely come here again.

The omelet, toast, and pastry were very nice. The coffee is ok. Service and atmosphere are nice.
Ryan Durango
Service and food were both fantastic, wasn’t overly pricey. We stopped here almost everyday we were in Boston!
Larry Abare
Really enjoyed our conversation with Jimmy! My wife had a Berkley omelette, I had the avocado toast. Great atmosphere in a beautiful neighborhood. Can’t wait to come back here someday.

Absolutely phenomenal staff - warm and friendly. The food is fresh and they accommodated a request I had to adjust a dish to my liking. The coffee is also very tasty. I liked this place so much that I returned every day of my business trip. Adam’s breakfast tacos and Katie’s breakfast bowl were highlights of the menu for me.

My favorite place to stop for a quick breakfast, coffee and a bagel every time I am in Boston. The short walk from Boston Common and the Back Bay is well worth it.

I walked a few blocks from my conference hotel for breakfast and found this gem. The space has historic, broken-in charm. I got a drip coffee and an egg and veggie bowl “for here,” sat in a booth, picked up the newspaper, ate and drank from real mugs and bowls. Friendly service, delicious breakfast. A balm for the soul.

It's what you want in a local non chain coffee shop. Food is great and so is the service! The baked goods are delightful and fresh. Good prices especially for the area. Close to everything and worth a pop in

Don’t waste your time. Terrible service
Noemi Ochoa
hidden gem not overpriced yet and best place for the perfect American breakfast.
The guy is so rude!!! He wasn't helpful, and he spoke really quite, so i had to ask several times to repeat. He was just very unpleasant. So, I decided not to buy anything and left!

The Best Breakfast Sandwich (Matt Simple) and Avocado Fancy Toast in town! The quality of the food, flavor, and hommie feeling of the space makes Berkley Perks Cafe my all time favorite! Thanks Jimmy and the amazing cooks! They also have the best salmon bagel sandwich :)
Vegetarian options: The avocado fancy toast, the veggie bagel sandwich, the greek salad.

The cappuccino is good. The brioche is also legendary, the bagel with eggs and bacon. Run by nice people. Typical American bar decor. Recommended if you are near there. An extensive home-made menu.
