Rifrullo Cafe is a charming local spot that prioritizes environmental sustainability. The cafe offers delicious and hearty "soups" that are more like meals, as well as amazing salads, sandwiches, and desserts. The owner is a James Beard winner, and the staff is friendly and amiable. The cafe has a quaint ambiance with some seating, making it perfect for working, meeting with friends, or enjoying a date. While seating can be limited at times, the cafe's popularity is well-deserved.
The selection of pastries is incredible and changes daily, featuring unique flavors that stand out compared to average bakeries in Boston. The chocolate quinoa cake is particularly notable, emulating a decadent chocolate cake, while the banana bread, cookies, and brownies have all received positive feedback. Coffee and lattes are well made, often enhanced with homemade and seasonal syrups.
Sunday brunch at Rifrullo is an experience not to be missed, with outstanding plates and high-quality flavors at a reasonable price. While some meals have received mixed reviews, the cafe remains a great choice for coffee and pastries, ensuring that guests leave satisfied. It may be a bit pricey, but it aligns with Boston cafe standards and offers a memorable dining experience.
