About Franklin Cafe

Franklin Cafe in South End is a popular spot known for its great and consistent food, with shareable portions and delicious drinks. This vibrant cafe in the heart of the city is slightly pricier but perfect for late-night dining. The must-try dishes include the chicken in 20 garlic cloves, the Franklin Burger, and the lamb ragu, which has received high praise. Bartenders serve fantastic cocktails, and the brunch menu, featuring the eggs Benedict in puff pastry, is also a favorite. The atmosphere is lively, though the small space can get loud with a few groups inside. The service is good, and the cozy setting makes it an ideal place for friends to gather for a meal and drinks. However, parking can be a challenge, so visitors should plan accordingly.

We arrived late to Boston and needed a place to grab a bite. Their kitchen was still open so we ordered some food and drinks. The food and drinks were delish. The atmosphere was fairly lively. It’s a small footprint so having a few groups of people in there made the atmosphere pretty loud. Not a bad thing, just a notable observation. Overall the Franklin Cafe fit our need with good late night food and drinks.

Great food and cocktails! Fun vibe and friendly staff. One of our favorite meals in Boston!

The staff at this hidden gem in Boston is the best , great food & drinks
