40 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Brighton

“Not sure what the negative reviews are about...

This location is fantastic. My dad and I ate here on New Years Day. It was pretty busy for a holiday and considering the weather was bad. I got the original pancakes and I'm not sure what my dad got. Food was fantastic, literally the best pancakes I've ever had. Service was also very good. I'm definitely coming back.

I think some people just love to complain. No complaints from me. We were in and out in under 40 minutes. Food is delicious“

“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.“

“The type of breakfast sandwich that really gets me out of bed on a weekend. Would love for them to open a location in back bay (please) but I'm willing to traverse multiple blocks for this. It can get super busy but I ordered online ahead of time. No seating but could easily sit on a stoop or the curb or a bench nearby because it's in a cute neighborhood too. The Fancy sandwich is a top 2 contender for my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Boston“

“One of the best places to get a sandwich. The ruby melt was so good! Also, the English muffins are amazing here. They are made with fresh olive oil. Lastly, the staff are very nice and polite. In particular Johnathan made me feel welcome. Insisting on selling (!) but I like good salesperson!“

“On the slightly pricier side for a takeout (there is no sitting area and even standing to order or wait was a little tight). Service was fast and friendly. Food was nice and pleasant- not life changing. I would definitely revisit if near but not smth I would make a special trip for“

“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!“

“The grilled crack was delicious. I just moved to Somerville and this was a great first impression. I give 3 stars for service because there really isn’t any, you order at a machine. It’s located in a market so cool area to check out“

“Breakfast sandwiches are okay. Bacon is thicker and chewy- not crispy. Bread is toasted well. I did ask for my sandwich well-done, and it was just toasted okay. I would imagine they’re not usually toasted well. The best part about the “crack” sandwich was all of the gooey cheese. It saved the whole meal. Who can go wrong with a grilled cheese? Egg was fried perfectly, and just a bit runny. Wish the bacon was better and the sandwich had a little seasoning. It was very plain. The cheese made it, really. But like I said, they really couldn’t go wrong with all of the cheese they put in there.“

“Very friendly atmosphere and accommodating to our youngest who is wheelchair bound. Nice little spot with a mom and pop feel to it. Food was very tasteful and service was wonderful! Great tasting coffee and prices are affordable, great little find. :) Will definitely be back if ever in the area again.“

“Went a few weeks ago Saturday morning and went back again today, 12/28 in the morning. Good food and service. However there are only 4 booths and high stools. I can’t sit on a high stool and I know that someday there won’t be any tables available. Otherwise great place.“

“The #1 of best diner 🍽 I've had the pleasure 😍of enjoying everything I've ever order there🤗. More years to come and more to eat😋.“

“This place really is a gem! Awesome atmosphere, GREAT food- everything we had from the Benedict, waffles, smash burger, and the crazy deserts all were so good!

Also I HAVE to mention Paulina! Our server was out of this world! Our entire table all unanimously agreed she was the best waitress we’ve ever had.

Even if everything else wasn’t as on point as it was we’d come back just to have her as a server!

A++++“

“Probably the best food south of Boston, don't be fooled by the hidden location.“

“If you're looking for the most delicious breakfast sandwich that you've ever had in the world ??? come here!!!!??????
I had bacon,egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese!!!! Delectimo!!!!???????

Note; Hours 4 am- 12pm m-f - 4am- 1pm ss“

“delicious banana splits and fruit dessert deliciosas banana splits y postres de frutas“

“I was getting some work done on my car nearby and needed to kill a half hour or so. Kind of hidden/not super noticable from the outside, very cute pharmacy counter inside with a lot of cheap breakfast options. They are cash only (there's an ATM, $2 fee at time of posting).

I just got scrambled eggs with bacon and toast, SUPER reasonably priced, mostly older folks were there, eating and chatting or playing Keno.

The other patrons and the staff were all super chatty and kind. I honestly had a delightful time, if I lived closer I'd find excuses to come by all the time, great vibes.“

“CLASSIC CAFE OFFERS DELICIOUS BREAKFAST/LUNCH AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES. THE CAFE HAS A WARM, NEIGHBORHOOD ATMOSPHERE. THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING.“

“great service and food at reasonable prices“

“Fantastic service , great food“

“Haven’t been here in YEARS, still the gem in Roxbury. This Black owned breakfast spot allows you to pull up and enjoy a home cooked breakfast with affordable and reasonable prices. I would absolutely recommend this spot. The sweet tea was too sweet so they made me half and half which was good!
Wish the place was a little updated but with prices like this I will definitely be back 🙂👍🏾“

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“We just spent the last week in Washington DC, eating all sorts of things from various cuisines - this breakfast takes 1st place. Absolutely amazing, and worth a stop in. The staff is beyond friendly, a breath of fresh air from some of the stuffer persons we've encountered on our trip. The food was delicious - my wife got the eggs Benedict with crab cakes I don't even like crab cakes, and I kept stealing bites, it was that good. 11/10.“

“I love this little mom and pop cafe. It's small and comfy, the owners are very nice and the food is always good and fresh. Good coffee!
They only take cash and don't have wifi but it just gives you time to relax and enjoy your food🥰“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ordered Chicken Cesar Salad with Bacon! This place has amazing vibes, very clean and the chicken was made to order.

Overall the food was well cooked and presented!

Been hearing about this place over a decade and finally stopped by! Thank you for the service and for making my lunch today! ❤️“

“Great little spot we found today! My daughter had a delicious salad and I had the fish sandwich! Very good, clean and friendly service!“

“Went for breakfast with my husband and grandmother. The server was super friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and to our surprise, large portions and delicious! I loved the French Toast! Highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“When ever go Maguon Somerville dunkin donuts good smile good service & good enviornament see there.I like it“

“Ugh okay. So I really like this place. They have great specialty coffees and great breakfast sandwiches. BUT I ordered lunch the other day and was highly disappointed when I got a Caesar salad with chicken and paid $20 for this…. Very disappointing.“

“The BYO lox bagel. Btw not an issue at all that the toppings were on the side. It was 10/10 the best I’ve ever had. Came with the right amount of everything so if you wanted more or less, it was up to you. Ofc onion, tomato and capers. Suggest with jalapeño cheddar and scallion CC. Cant wait to show my sister this place. I know she’d love it too.“

“Indoors great service love 💕 the service“

“This place is great. I am not a breakfast person so I go for lunch. Two great items are the burgers and the fried haddock sandwich with steak fries. Burger always cooked the way you like it. I like well done. Fried haddock is considered a special item but usually available. This is delicious if you like fried items. I am there every Saturday for lunch. Give this place a try. You will not regret it.“

“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.“

“Small neighborhood greasy spoon diner with generous portions and an excellent breakfast menu. Numerous daily specials including omelets, stuffed French toast and benedicts. I had the William Wallace omelet with fresh apples inside for a sweet savory and my girlfriend had one with avocado, broccoli and spinach. Service was polite and self service coffee was available. Not necessarily a destination for brunch but a nice place if you live in the neighborhood.“

“Love this place, close, convenient, friendly staff, busy, comfort food..great menu😋“
