13 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Boston

“Great breakfast sandwiche bites. They didn't charge me for hot water and their key lime tart was refreshing. Mildly too sweet. Loved the Grapefruit paired with the smoked salmon on the lox. Husband loved his runny egg on the Sunny girl. Outdoor seating is cozy and quiet“

“Walked in Saturday lunchtime, our party of two got in faster than they predicted, maybe within 10 minutes. Great food and service. Large parties were getting hour plus wait times, so beware.“

“A very popular place for sandwiches and other takeaway treats.

The savory breakfast items are especially popular. I personally think it’s good not great (a little too greasy), but their generous bacon-oriented offerings are especially popular.

Weekdays and weekends expect a little crowd and/or line of folks waiting to place or pickup their orders.“

“I expected more than corned beef out of a can from the description on the menu. The home fries were cold. Good sized portions and the service was adequate. We chose another breakfast place for the next day. Great location, though, in a walkable neighborhood .“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“A very nice restaurant serving breakfast all day. The chocolate is probably 2000 calories and will give you diabetes, but is also tasty ;) just don't expect you'll be able to eat if you drink it.

Eggs Benedict are only served with eggs sunny side up (not poached), and on a toast, which is a bit average, but overall it is a great experience.“

“I have been going to Maryann's for a while. Its a local breakfast and lunch place. All the food is cooked to order by Bob the Owner. I usually go for Breakfast but Lunch items are available as well. It is usually a 1 person operation except for Saturdays when Georgia usually works as a Server. Coffee is freshly brewed and very tasty. it is cash only but the gas station across the road has an ATM. Give them a try.“

“I’ve been coming to this deli for 13 years and I order the same thing regularly. It’s not even a menu item, so I’ve always been charged based on what goes into it, and the price has been consistent every time I’ve ordered it.

Today, I was charged significantly more than usual. I still paid it because I assumed prices may have gone up. The issue started when I simply mentioned that the price was different than what I normally pay.

The employee immediately became loud, rude, and confrontational. He claimed he was giving me a discount today, even though I never asked for one and was willing to pay the price. I was only pointing out that the amount was different than what I had always been charged before.

What should have been a simple conversation turned into an unnecessary scene. After being a customer for 13 years, I found the way I was spoken to completely disrespectful and unprofessional.

What bothered me most was feeling singled out and humiliated in front of other customers over a simple comment about the price. Whether that was his intention or not, that’s how the interaction made me feel. After 13 years of supporting this business, this experience has convinced me not to return.“

“When I lived in Dorchester, I could hardly believe how old this is. Build 84 years before this became a country outstanding! There are a lot of historical buildings in Boston, they are a must-see when you visit. Just try to street clear of the Mass ave nonsense.“

“The French onion soup here is heavenly! The soup is really rich and tasty, loaded with onions, and covered with melted cheese on top. Honestly, one bowl is never enough.
You also have to try their Monte Cristo French Toast—French Toast stuffed with cream cheese, sweet smoked ham, and Swiss cheese, and served with strawberry syrup. It's totally to die for, and just as good as the soup! The portion is huge, but the price is super affordable, so you really get your money's worth.
Besides, the owner and staff are lovely. Super friendly with great positive energy. If you're in Boston, you gotta try Thornton's restaurant before you leave. It's a true Boston local spot that's been open for over 49 years, where locals eat. Seriously, if you don't try this place, you haven't really experienced Boston!“

“Fabulous food, Italian coffee, breakfast sandwich and friendly atmosphere of this coffee shop. Delicious egg sandwiches! Customer service is awesome. Owner and cook, waitresses all excellent!“

“Indoors great service love 💕 the service“

“Had an excellent breakfast here! The fish and chips were delicious—fresh, crispy, and perfectly cooked. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The restroom was also very clean, which is always a big plus. Overall, a wonderful place with great food, great service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!“
