“The best brunch on the Northshore. Christopher's is one of Lynn's hidden gems. We go out of out way to return as often as we can. The Spanish Omlette with corned beef hash is cooked to perfection. The egg wraps, sandwiches, and most of all the home fries are fabulous.The service is always top-notch. They even went out of their way to stock turkey bacon after we mentioned it during one of our visits. Thank you!Kid-friendliness: A hit with the kids. The waitress and chef were very accommodating and the hot chocolate was a hit.“
“Had food catered for 2 events from here now. Pretty quick and great communication. Handling university catering is no joke and they have deliciously impressed every student at both events. Highly recommend for catering Dominican American Brunches.“
“Friendly Toast really is, in my opinion, the perfect kind of breakfast place. The menu boasts both typical breakfast mainstays and adventurous forays into breakfast innovation. The environment is artsy but undoubtedly diner. And of course, the coffee is caffeinated and bottomless. Plus, although they are insanely popular, the service moves quickly. And the kindness of the staff isn't lost in the shuffle. Our server, Megan, was adorable, and she is very honestly a primary reason for our interest in returning on a future date.“
“I’ve had them all, all the breakfast sandwiches Boston has to offer. And while there are some seriously good contenders, there’s a new champ in town. This is hands down, the undisputed best breakfast sandwich you can currently get in the Boston area. The freshly made English muffins are impeccable, the eggs always perfectly cooked. They use the highest quality ingredients, their bacon and sausage are just next level deliciousness. But it’s the small attention to details that put them over the top. Additionally, they have great customer service and if your order online you can cut the lines that form on the weekend. And don’t sleep on their ever growing lunch options, my personal fave being the turkey #1, add sunny sauce, in fact add sunny sauce to anything you get here, it’s that good. Sunny Girl is a true breakfast gem.“
“One of my favorite spots for breakfast, Nick & Andy’s has great food, large (without being grotesque) serving sizes, at reasonable prices. I love love love their yogurt parfait which is huge and super delicious. We are also big fans of the very berry French toast.“
“I have been going to Camilla’s for a while! Every time I am always impressed with the food and service, the team is so friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and SO affordable! Recently I discovered they have small Açaí bowls, which is great price and a smaller portion for a quick treat! I love the mini Coxinha (small doughy shredded chicken bite) imagine the best chicken nugget you have ever had! The coffee and smoothies are delicious and so is the pão de queijo (bread cheese balls)!“
“Wow, there are some miserable people out there leaving reviews!Folks, DO read the reviews of the actual customers! They are NOT TRYING TO FOOL YOU!!!GREAT FOOD!These people actually cook their own food! They do not warm the soup out of a can!! They do not buy frozen Spinach pie and cook it for you…. they actually make it with fresh ingredients!They always try to listen to their customers and if it’s not on the menu and they have the ingredients they’ll make it for you…. Because they care! They have been caring for the customers for 23 years!“
“This place is authentic and warm, the food is simple but delicious, nothing pretentious/fancy, just good food, and we love it for that. The atmosphere is simple and relaxed, great for having a conversation, the service is excellent, and the prices are great. Best breakfast/lunch/brunch in the area!“
“Love Daily Harvest cafe! The food and coffee is always fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. My favorite breakfast is the veggie sunrise wrap and the Chloe sandwich for lunch features the most delicious cranberry orange mayo! I love that their breakfast wraps and sandwiches have freshly cooked eggs, not the microwaved patties you sometimes find in other coffee shops. We come here year round, but I especially love DH around the holidays. It's small and cozy, and I always look forward to voting for my favorite gingerbread house while sipping on an eggnog coffee. :)“
“Breakfast to die for. Superb coffee. Loved the atmosphere. Historic bldg. The server was a chic my age I wouldn't mess with (wink lol) and was from the local area, helped us with my ma that had an accident walking in the venue, missed a step and abruptly hit her head into glass pane. We never seen glass SO clean!!! Nice place.Will be back. Lovely people in this town, I will attest, they go the extra mile and will help you out♡♡♡. No complaints. God ? bless.You made our stay memorable ✨️. Thank you.“
“Nan’s Cafe is my go-to for a quality breakfast. The food is always delicious, whether you’re craving a classic eggs and bacon or something more adventurous.The staff sets this place apart—they’re always amazing, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door.If you’re in the area and looking for an outstanding breakfast spot, do yourself a favor and check out Nan’s Cafe. You won’t be disappointed.“
“Everytime I come here the food always comes out correctly. On my last visit having lunch with my mom I had their new smothered chicken sandwich it was so delicious packed a huge piece of chicken with the toppings it fell apart while I was eating it so used a fork and knife.“
“What an absolute find this place was! A little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's easy to miss. Extremely friendly service with unbeatable prices! Menu fairly limited, but they offer a good amount of specials and you can find pretty much anything you would at most breakfast places. Got a biscuit breakfast sandwich that was on special. Came with home fries and ordered a side of bacon as well. Food came out quick and everything was delicious. Staff seemed to know every customer there or that came in for takeout. I need to become a regular here and cannot wait to come back!“
“I’ve ordered here three times already and all three times have been delicious and consistent. Their breakfast burritos hit the spot and the salted caramel oat milk macchiato was SO GOOD!! When I say RUN don’t walk to this cafe I mean it!! This place deserves a full 5 star google rating, 4.7 doesn’t do them justice!!! New favorite breakfast spot hands down!!“
“My favorite family breakfast spot in the heart of Roxbury, always a vibe always great food always love!!! The best coffee in Boston by the way!!! Service is excellent friendly warm, and kind!!! Be there tomorrow morning... sincerely Blue... find me on IG @bluebossMvt“
“Stopped here for the Hungry man… for $16. The food was OK. The potatoes were cold with hot spots. They put the cold butter on the hot pancakes, never figured out why they’d do that. But, there are something’s in the world I’ll never understand. If I am in the area, I’d consider Freddy’s or go to McDonalds and cut the cost in half.“
“The nicest people in town! The waitresses are super nice and the kitchen is always consistent and delicious- especially the omelettes and chocolate chip pancakes! If you’re looking for a warm atmosphere to enjoy your breakfast this is the spot! :) 10/10“

“We were craving breakfast food and this was the spot we chose which was perfect bc it was close to the hotel. Everyone ordered their basic 2 egg breakfast, I ordered their Mediterranean Menemen/Shaksuka which was delicious. 1 less star bc the home fries were a bit too soggy for our taste. Both the lady who sat us and the gentleman who took our order were very very kind. I would definitely recommend.“
“Don't judge a book by its cover. First impression was that the cafe was small and really busy. But after we were seated and Kim came over to greet us, she was friendly and really terrific. The place calmed down a bit, we had a great table, and the food was really good. Omelette was great, tasty pancakes, home fries were crispy. We ended up lingering way too long. I would absolutely come back for the great service and the food. You have to get past the size of the cafe, and after that, you'll become a fan like we did.“

“In a quest to tap into my childhood, pile driving bowls of Cap'n Crunch, I sought a breakfast spot that boasts a crusted French toast that will send me soaring back to the 90s. Well, move over Mario, it's time for Luigi's to take center stage.Luigi's is a no-frills North Shore diner that excels in greasy spoon comfort breakfast and lunch options with big portions. As mentioned, my personal favorite breakfast option is the perfectly griddled Cap'n Crunch French toast - a delightful crunch on the crust which remains moist and approachable, otherwise. Paired with butter, powdered sugar, and syrup, it may spike your blood sugar, but it's well worth it. For "healthier" fare, the feedback on the veggie omelet was fluffy, fresh, and tasty. The potato sides (both hash browns and home fries) were well-seasoned and plentiful. Coffee is what you'd expect.Amidst the slightly chaotic table setups, find solace at the expansive granite bar top, boasting a dozen or so stools for a cozy dining experience. The service is friendly and reliable, ensuring your cup is never empty. And when warmth graces the months, don't miss the ice cream stand's lineup of Richardson's local favorites.Luigi's captures the essence of a classic diner with finesse, delivering on a diverse menu that's bound to satisfy your cravings. Brace yourself, however, and come hungry!“
“Came to Marblehead after stopping in Salem and wasn’t impressed. Marblehead is a really nice place and this cafe was the cherry on the cake ( pardon the pun) I got a chicken wrap and it was enormous and really delicious with a pickle on the side and a bag of crisps and a nice coffee.“
“Absolutely love this place. Nothing better than a great family owned diner.Great people, great service, great food.What more could you ask for?I can't tell you how many times I have been running late and they get me in and out in a flash.I wish they were open later in the day but I understand why they aren't.If you want to support an excellent family owned local business stop in and check them out, but make sure you are aware of the hours so you aren't unnecessarily disappointed.“
“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.“
“Just came back from Robert’s the atmosphere was great. The wait staff was wonderful . We got blueberry pancakes , home fries and an omelette all were amazing. We cleared our plates. The place was very clean and put together I would definitely be going back :)“
“Good spot for breakfast north of Boston. Most of my food was pretty good, and they do give you lots of it.I got their buffalo chicken waffles special, which was obviously something a little different but I thought it was tasty. Their homefries were nothing to write home about, pun fully intended. They were pretty mushy with only a few crispy spots.Servers were very nice. Line cooks were fast too.Didn't try any yet so I don't know how they are, but they have a wide variety of muffins behind the counter.It is great that the price is right here. Very hard to find restaurants around Boston that actually give you a decent amount of food at a reasonable price.“
“This little place is nice. One way they could drastically improve is to put the food on real plates with real silverware. This is inside a building with a very cool history, it is across the street from the state house. I understand people try to save money, but for the people dining in, they need to have something of substance. I felt like I was camping using those cheap little plastic utensils.“
“Located in the stunning Boston Harbor Hotel, the design was exactly what you would expect for a north eastern Cape Cod style restaurant. The clam chowder had an entire clam on top, which was picturesque. The burger was carved perfectly with Vermont cheddar on top.“
“Dempsey's is the perfect neighborhood breakfast joint. Everyone is so nice inside too. It has a classic diner vibe inside and a nice big menu with plenty of breakfast and lunch options. I absolutely love their flavored iced coffee! So delicious.“
“Eggs cooked exactly how I wanted them (not a fan of runny whites), which not many places do. The bacon was nice and crispy, and the home fries were well seasoned. The corned beef hash/swiss omelette was a nice big size and could probably feed 1.5 people. Nice cozy location right in the heart of Salem downtown!“
“With breakfast being my favorite meal, I am always looking for something savory and sweet.My friend and I did a little trading of French toast. The Fire king and banana bread french toast were both flavorful and different in their pens. The fire king had cinnamon swirl in the batter. The banana bread french toast was the perfect combo.For the savory, you can go wrong with the classic: eggs, bacon, potatoes (and hash browns, we split those too) and toast.Definitely will get back!“
