44 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Cambridge

“Fantastic service , great food“

“I had an excellent server named Johan, he’s young man who was always paying attention to my table. I ordered the cali roasted turkey melt, the meal itself was fantastic. the fries were seasoned and the cali roasted melt was made perfectly the way i wanted. Johan made sure his other table’s were doing good as well, besides that while when there was no one except me in that restaurant i always saw him cleaning and I believe i saw him restocking when he was inside the kitchen when I was going to the restroom. Other than that the food was excellent and service was excellent as well, I will be coming back here.“

“I recently dined at Sunny Girl, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was fantastic—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. I’ll definitely be going back to try more of their menu. Highly recommend!“

“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 .“

“Had a great breakfast! Food, drinks, and service were exceptional!“

“Incredible customer service, the kind that is rare to find! Above and beyond! The pastries are delicious. The Cruffins are light, airy and just the right amount of sweetness. We support small businesses, and this one is a hidden gem!“

“My wife and I were in Wakefield to purchase car and when we were finished we realized we had not eaten all day. We found this gem of a diner. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding. I started with the beef stew. it was excellent. It was not to salty, you could tell it was homemade the flavor brought me back to childhood. My wife started with the chicken and rice soup which she said was also fantastic, once again not to salty. I had the hot turkey sandwich with gravy. The gravy was outstanding. My wife had the teriyaki chicken stir-fry which was delicious. We needed the meal by brining home 6 raisin oatmeal cookies. I would highly recommend North Ave. Diner if you are in the area.“

“it is take out so atmosphere is a non issue ... although it is located in Bow Market which offers many seating alternatives including a coffee stop at Remnant Brewery. I love this place...the staff is friendly and efficient and everyone knows how to make a great b fast sandwhich with quality ingredients!! Pair it with a capacino from Remnant and it is the best breakfast in Union Square!!! (you wont have to take out a loan to pay for it either!)“

“Excellent breakfast, have eaten at Java Grind and Grill more than a few times and every time the breakfast has been delicious and the coffee is even better. Service is great and the atmosphere very welcoming. Best kept secret in Stoneham, hope it lasts.“

“If you're into little places that make you feel right at home, Ernie's Lunch is a must try.

My wife and I both got a full breakfast and a side of bacon and pancakes for only 28 bucks. It would have been roughly 40+ anywhere else. Food was fantastic as well!

And the service was even better than the food if you can imagine that!

Atmosphere may not be up your alley, it's an older spot and looks like such but once you walk in you'll either smile and sit down and have a great breakfast with incredible service, or you'll miss out lol

Either way Ernie's has become me and my wife's new favorite spot for breakfast (when we're lazy lol) on weekends!“

“Cozy little breakfast/coffee shop that also sells lottery, cigarettes, and sodas, etc. Has a nice atmosphere with friendly staff that if you are a regular will take their time to get to know you and your order etc. Coffee is good!

Parking: There is street parking as well as a small triangle shaped lot across the street.“

“We tripped over this place getting sausage at Depasquale's. We were early for Depasquale to open so we Googled where to eat breakfast and got Eddie's 500 ft awayOur breakfast was so deliciousWe had Denver omelet and Eddie specialSo glad we took a chance and went inYou won't be sorry“

“I moved out of Boston 20 years ago, however, one thing a true Bostonian from Roxbury can never forget is The Silver Slipper. A staple in the Dudley area when it comes to breakfast, The Silver Slipper is one of the few restaurants who still make everything homemade.

As I was visiting my father, he advised he was ordering from The Silver Slipper and I had to get my order in. As I had a full day ahead of me, I didn’t want anything too heavy. I opted for a protein based meal and ordered the Spicy Beef Sausage with Wheat Toast.

Calling the order in was simple and straightforward. The young lady who answered was pleasant and efficient. She took our order, repeated it back to us and closed out with the time expectation and a see you soon.

Upon arriving, the restaurant wasn’t crowded so it was easy in and easy out. The order was accurate and ready as advised. We confirmed everything was present, grabbed a few condiments, paid, and was out the door.

As you will see by the pictures, this is REAL SAUSAGE. All these years later and The Silver Slipper is still holding it down.

The sausage was fresh and super spicy just like I like it. The burn on the sausage was perfect and made the bites even more flavorful and textured. The toast was perfectly toasted and non-buttered which was perfect as the sausage had its own grease. As soon as the sausage hit the bread, it nestled into the toasty goodness and they became exactly what I needed to get the day started.

Shout out to The Silver Slipper for their tenure and quality of food. We the People of the Boston Foodie World Appreciate You!!“

Burrito was super tasty and decently sized. Noticed a lot of locals came in for to-go orders; if I was in the area, I’d definitely go back.“

“This place is how I remember home. Some might know me as a breakfast sangwich expert… One sangwich, you all know the rules… this was easily one of, if not the best breakfast sangwich of all time. Served just as ordered, bacon,egg, cheese on grilled English, cooked over easy. Scores 9.5 , must stop “breakfasts” joints on the south shore. Oh and the sweet ladie behind the counter was great, Been a very enjoyable week.“

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“I've often walked past this great place during my daily walks. The blinds were always down, so I thought it wasn't open. However, when my sister visited from Quincy earlier this week, we decided to have breakfast there. Peter’s Sunrise did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. My sister even said the toast was the best she had ever had at a breakfast restaurant. The coffee is good too. The service was welcoming as well. Today will be my 4th time having breakfast there. I highly recommend it.“

“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.“

“Our requests:
1- Shakshouka: Shakshouka, Turkish/Arabic style, is delicious, the ingredients are fresh, and the potatoes on the side are amazing. I give it 7/10

2- Florentine Benedict: The eggs were excellent, but the sauce mixed with pitto did not feel suitable with eggs and spinach, but it was delicious in general. I give it 6/10

3- Bagel: Plain bagel is good. It is the best type, like the one I tried in New York, but it is acceptable.. I give it 6/10.

Service:
Very excellent, their treatment was nice and nice, and they were very fast even though the place was almost full. The coffee is prepared for you as soon as you finish your cup

Prices:
I consider it expensive for a restaurant of the same category.

Overall experience 7/10 ??“

“Best corned beef hash in the world.“

“I have to say that I have only eaten their breakfast food and it is delicious. I usually call ahead for some grits and bacon or sausage and there is one guy who answers the phone and he always says "Yes Ms. Wilson" or, "How are you, Ms. Wilson". Always courteous to anyone that he interacts. One day I will try their other food and I am sure it will be delicious also.“

“If you are looking for an old fashioned friendly neighborhood restaurant with generous breakfast plates and real coffee, Mary Ann's in West Roxbury is the place.

Parking: A few spots in back. Street parking usually available.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level. Wide door.“

“The food is delicious. Breakfast tostado plate is one of those dishes you find yourself craving every weekend morning. A couple of downsides though: it's impossible to find a phone number to call this place to order your food and when ordering online you can't indicate any customizations (like "no cheese" for allergy reasons for example). Outside seating is a nice touch when the weather is nice but during the summer the place is like one giant bee hive. Bees everywhere. Also once it gets cold outside, there are only a few tables inside which makes takeout and having a number to call that much more important!

Dietary restrictions: There's no way to indicate any dietary restrictions when ordering online and I've never been able to find a phone number to call to order takeout.“

“Haven't had the chance to eat the bagels yet but did get a chance to talk to the owners. They are in the people business, they just happen to sell bagels. Big Fan, if you're in the boston area check these guys out.“

“Ate here on vacation twice and the family loved it. Breakfast was great- I had the breakfast sandwich and the kids had pancakes. Lunch had many unexpected items. I had the musaka, which I had no idea what it was, but it was amazing. The guys working the counter bantered and were a ton of fun.“

“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!!“

“Indoors great service love 💕 the service“

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

“Thank you so much to Twist Bakery for their amazing generosity! A parent from our school had contacted them in regards to purchasing cookies for an event we have at the school for several children who have allergies. Twist and their staff were so pleasant to deal with and more than generous in what they did for us. All the littles were so excited that there was an option for cookies at the event for them that was not only safe, it was extremely yummy! Thank you again Twist for making our school kids day and putting parents minds at ease. We will surely be spreading the word about you!“

“I don't know if he was the owner or just one of the employees there, but the gentleman name Assiss was super awesome! My friend and I were a bit famished, but didn't want to buy food just yet. We both had something small in mind to hold us over. Muffins popped into my mind. We saw and drove by Mass Hole Donuts and thought of trying is, but didn't quite want sugar. We kept driving down the street when we saw Magnificent Muffin. We slightly passed it and immediately placed the vehicle in reverse and parked right out front. We got out only to find out they had just closed. The guy was behind the counter and I was pleading with him to open the door and he did. He told us he was out of muffins as they go fast. We were bummed. When he saw our reaction he offered to make us something else. We both ordered jalapeno bagels with cream cheese. He ended i'm finding a few tiny muffins left and gave it to us. The whole experience, the food everything was spectacular.Thank you, sir. We appreciate you!“

“I got the steak and eggs which I thought was really good! Krystal was the server and she was really good and attentive. There were belly dancers that came out and performed and it was overall a good experience! I would definitely come back here!“

“Stopped in here 20 minutes before they closed and was greeted and taken care of without feeling like a burden due to it being closing time. I got an iced latte with oatmilk and a few pumps of sf vanilla syrup and was surprised at how smooth and well proportioned it was. Wish I could’ve tried their breakfast“

“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.“

“Very good staff and very helpful afternoons is mostly getting along by themselves. I have never not had a great server at this location thou I mainly come in the afternoons or evenings

Parking: Huge parking lot tons of space in the afternoon for sure“
