Such a good place! Decor is eclectic and fun. Food is tasty. Service is friendly. My friends and I had a great time. If we were local this would become our weekly brunch spot, no question.Dietary restrictions: Staff was knowledgeable about the menu and helpful in accommodating my need for gluten free. This was a very easy and pleasant place to eat as someone with celiac.

A fun atmosphere and good food with vegan and vegetarian options.I’ve passed this place many times while traveling through Harvard Square, so I was excited to finally eat here. And it was definitely worth the hype.I got the toaster pastry which had a lot of vibrant berry flavor and a nice crispy pastry outside.The vegan scramble was flavorful. I loved the vegan sausage especially. The home fries were well seasoned, and I didn’t need any ketchup to add flavor. The sourdough didn’t have the usual tang of sourdough, but bread is bread.If you come during brunch, come earlier, so you don’t have a long wait. My friend and I got there at 11am and we were able to sit down quickly at the bar.

A perfect and original stopover for a lunch break after visiting the Harvard campus, a 2-minute walk away. The atmosphere is friendly and colorful. We tested the Benedicts (chicken cordon bleu Benny): good cooking of eggs and meat. The service is fast and attentive. We recommend.

This morning I went to breakfast for the first time, I must say that the atmosphere was very good, the dishes, depending on what they are, are not a big deal. But my reason for 2 stars is that I ordered my normal breakfast and an extra pancake which the cost of that extra pancake was 10$. I mean, I was expecting about $5 for that, but I think $10 for a single pancake was a little overpriced. I questioned her and she told me, that that was the price for just one. I was speechless, I won't be back.

You will not die happy if you don't try this breakfast place. Everything in this place is absolutely impeccable. Stomach gurglingly delicious. Salivatingly spectacular. We got the mimosa and coffee flight and the Cookie Monster pancakes and the grilled cheese with the Tuscan tomato soup and licked out plates and sucked our cups clean. Holy shit you have to go here

We stopped here before a Harvard tour, we decided to stop for breakfast. We decided on the friendly toast, what a fun place! The decor is awesome, it's a combination many fun knick knacks. The staff is very friendly, and not overbearing which is always key. I had delicious eggs Benedict, and coffee with an OJ. I actually came back in the afternoon after I was on my own, I had noticed a Bloody Mary flight so I was curious, they were all delicious with unique flavors! Loved my experience and hope I have the chance to go back again
