Super cute Cafe. The coffee here is great! But the food is not. We waited for 40 minutes for breakfast sandwiches, and when we finally got them the bacon egg and cheese was missing EGG and BACON on two of them. Definitely go here for coffee and good vibes but skip the breakfast sandwiches.

FAVORITE local cafe in Brighton! I’ve had more cheddar scones, banana bread, and seasonal baked goods than I can count here. Really friendly owner & staff who remember you. I also love the art by local artists and the plant aesthetic. Thanks Cafenation for loving your community so well 🙌🏽

I went here today for the first time. I’m vegan and there were lots of options! I got the snickerdoodle cookie and chai muffin (very moist) as well as a pumpkin iced chai. Everything was phenomenal! The chai was sweet which I like but not everyone does so I thought it was worth mentioning. I will definitely be going back!

Wonderful little shop in Brighton Center. Wicked friendly staff, great lattes, and food. Lots of young adults working on their laptops, chatting, or reading. Cozy vibes, medium noise level with chatting and music. Parking is 2 hour parking on Washington st, a little further down towards oak square is free street parking. 57 bus stops right outside. Great place!

Brighton needs breakfast nooks and cafes! Cafenation is a good one. I was looking for a cafe in the Brookline/Brighton area that does two things, breakfast sandwiches and gluten free bread, and this was one of the only ones I had ease finding. It is hard to find both, but I get the feeling that Cafenation is good for this.

Anyways, I ordered an egg and cheddar breakfast sandwich with double bacon and a small drip coffee. The drip coffee had a strong coffee flavor, and with a small bit of cream, still tasted coffee-like, yayyyy. The sandwich took longer than 10 minutes to make during what appeared to be a slower time, so I left to get something across the street real fast. Upon return, the sandwich was ready for to-go pickup.

There are a lot of enjoyable elements of Cafenation! Some of their food items are well reviewed, and the artwork-for-sale blends in with the design of the place. You could also Pay-It-Forward for another customer who may be needing a caffeinated pick-me-up. This adds to the feeling of the potential community.

The place is nice, and the time it took to make the sandwich may have been because of I ordered a menu utem with changes (I recognize my impatience in this matter), but the sandwich was delicious, and definitely worth the wait.

I enjoy getting the Otom sandwhich on gluten free bread here. All the muffins are made from scratch in the store, I tried the seasonal Rasberry Lemon muffin, it was quite good. I appreciate that the cafe has options that are gluten & dairy free friendly.

Went in and ordered a SMALL Thai iced tea, barista started making a chai. I told him I asked for a Thai not chai. He said okay then grabbed the Thai. I said sorry I guess they sound the same. He made a snarky comment saying not really. My I was supposed to only had paid 4$ but when I ordered I tipped 1$. A few hours after I was charged 6.30$ a different amount that I got on the receipt. I’m not sure why I got charged a different amount when I left all I got was a small. I shouldn’t have tipped honestly. Barista was rude and the place is weird for up charging after I left. Maybe the guy is racist and wanted a reason to be rude and up charge DON’T come here.

Went today to ordered an egg and cheese croissant.. it took too long. Two people who ordered after me got their orders first. Slow people and disorganized attending. Missing the previous owner. This never happened .
