Cozy little place, great good, and friendly service. Just note it is cash only, but there is an ATM a few doors down.

This small place is an absolute delight. Five tables and seven stools, it isn't big but delivers a big meal.

The morning we were there we had to wait about 10 minutes before the four stools at the counter opened up and this was indeed a breakfast and a show. The griddle and main area for the staff is right there and we were able to watch a groddle-master at work. A constantly turning-overmpile of flattop cooked potatoes, along with a steady stream of eggs and other hot items being cooked up and wafting the delicious smells into the air.

Our meals were big, but able to finish them, thought the amount of potatoes on the plate was quite a bit. Two eggs over hard, wheat toast, potatoes and a mug of black coffee is the all-American breakfast and it was done up right.

Coffee was never cold and never more than half-full, the waitress was really on top of things and a steady stream of locals either picking up breakfast or coming in for the tables.

The wife said her OJ was really good and everyone joyed their meals

Heads-up that this place is cash only.

What a cute little place in the North End of Boston. We had a delicious breakfast with great service. It’s tiny and tight but we liked the atmosphere. It felt like Theo had invited us into his family kitchen for breakfast. Definitely exhibits its name “cozy corner.”

It's definitely cozy, people were nice, service was pretty quick. In regards to the food, I'm a visitor to Boston and as you know,food taste different in different parts of the US. So take my rating into consideration with that in mind. I had French toast with potatoes and it lacked flavor. Even the syrup tasted like diet syrup so it didn't add all that much to it. The potatoes were unseasoned. I don't know if that's a thing here cause that happened elsewhere too. Again, I'm coming from somewhere where we season and season again.

The kindest, most welcoming family run this place. I came in very early after a red eye to Boston. I came in lugging a suitcase and they helped me with my things, and supplied me with plenty of coffee. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Honestly felt like I was being taken care of by family when I was here. Recommend to anyone traveling to or living in Boston.

This place has the best breakfast in Boston! The service was great and everyone was so friendly. I give it a 10/10 and will definitely be a staple in my future trips.

We arrived in Boston early and couldn’t check into our Airbnb yet, so we came here with all our luggage and a tired family in tow — and they could not have been kinder. The staff welcomed us so warmly and made us feel completely at home. They were patient, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

Everyone loved their meal too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a local gem with amazing hospitality.

Found this place looking for a nice American breakfast. It’s nestled in the heart of the North end within a stones throw of The Old North Church on the Freedom Trail. When I walked in I was greeted by 3 generations of the Brazilian family that owns the place. They were very friendly and I sat at the bar. The gentleman that was manning the grill said he would make me anything on the menu and asked what I wanted. I told him I came for breakfast, but that I had noticed that there was a bunch of Brazilian stuff on the menu also. He got excited and started telling me about the Brazilian dishes, especially the fish stew which is supposedly amazing. he also pointed out a dish that another gentleman was eating with rice, steak, onion, egg, and tomato, which looked delicious. I ended up getting that and it was absolutely phenomenal. The man ended up being Theo himself and he is a super cool business owner that has been in that same location for 36 years. I would highly recommend checking it out and I’m looking forward to my next visit. ***CASH ONLY***

If you want a family atmosphere and to feel at home, eat here. They were incredibly kind and generous to our young family. They loved our kids and made their morning so special. We went home smiling and wishing we never left that atmosphere. Thank you so much!

Based on their reviews I had high expectations, but the food was very very disappointing, would not recommend. Also, they only accept cash, which is a bit inconvenient, and have no restroom 🚻
