The Coast Cafe in Metro Boston is a beloved spot known for its delicious soul food, particularly the fried chicken that many consider the best in the area. The sides, including mac&cheese and collard greens, are also well-received. The menu features a selection of options such as chicken sandwiches, ribs, and chicken combo, all seasoned to perfection. The quality of the food remains consistently excellent, though there have been rare reports of overcooked chicken. Customers appreciate the commitment to tradition and quality, as the cafe has been a family business for over 20 years, following cherished family recipes. Despite potential long wait times and rising prices over the years, the high quality of the food makes The Coast Cafe a hidden gem in Cambridge. With a warm, welcoming vibe, it feels like stepping into a home. Fried chicken is served crispy and juicy, while the mac and cheese is creamy and rich. The collard greens are tender and flavorful, adding to the authentic southern experience. For those seeking memorable soul food, The Coast Cafe is a must-visit destination.
