50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Mattapan

“What a beautiful gem I found. The actual owner took my order. The food was great, but the atmosphere, and the conversation that was served was even greater. It was my first time, but not my last. I am looking forward to making this place a common go to when I am looking for some yummy for my tummy. I highly recommend them.“

“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!“

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

“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 .“

“Great food! Make sure to try the Pizza breakfast sandwich - open faced sourdough bread with pizza sauce, an egg, and pizza cheese. Delicious, and even heated up the yolk was still a little runny. Excellent coffee and english muffins as well.

My only criticism is that they need more help - there were 3 people in line and only one person serving customers. I could hear more people in back, but had to wait quite some time as the person in front of me had a large order.“

“Had a lovely brunch, all the food and drinks were delicious. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend and will be back!“

“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!“

“Fantastic service , great food“

“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!)“

“Excelente lugar, la comida deliciosas y muy buena atención“

“Went a few weeks ago Saturday morning and went back again today, 12/28 in the morning. Good food and service. However there are only 4 booths and high stools. I can’t sit on a high stool and I know that someday there won’t be any tables available. Otherwise great place.“

“Can’t talk this place up enough amazing old school authentic Italian and a very warm environment whether your looking for a nice cup of coffee or a chicken parm sangy the workers over here always do it right. Killer Sicilian pizza as well!“

“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!!“

“The Skillet has Delicious Food at great prices. The Service is Excellent and the all the staff are very friendly. Try it out. Breakfast on Saturday mornings is a great start to weekend. Try it, you will love it anytime.“

Vegetarian options: Gluten-free options as well as a wide menu.

Dietary restrictions: Open menu with gluten-free, and lactose free options

Parking: Tiny, one way in/one way out, lot in back.

Kid-friendliness: There were several children there (between grammar school and high school age) when we were there.“

“Had a great breakfast, maybe the best homefries ive had great flavor and the potatoes still had integrity and bit , a lot of places they are too mushy and soft ! These were awesome“

“Very friendly atmosphere and accommodating to our youngest who is wheelchair bound. Nice little spot with a mom and pop feel to it. Food was very tasteful and service was wonderful! Great tasting coffee and prices are affordable, great little find. :) Will definitely be back if ever in the area again.“

“Amazing Delivery Experience!

I ordered from Toast of the Town for delivery, and it was incredible! The food arrived on time, still warm, and packaged perfectly to maintain freshness. Every bite tasted like it was straight from their kitchen to my table.

The avocado toast was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and generously topped. The French toast traveled surprisingly well, staying soft and perfectly sweet without getting soggy. Even the coffee I ordered was thoughtfully packaged and still warm!

I really appreciated the care they put into their delivery service, from the quality of the food to the secure and eco-friendly packaging. Toast of the Town made my lazy day at home feel like a gourmet brunch experience. Definitely ordering again!“

“Amazing ice cream & so many choices!!!🍦🍧🍨“

“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.“

“CLASSIC CAFE OFFERS DELICIOUS BREAKFAST/LUNCH AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES. THE CAFE HAS A WARM, NEIGHBORHOOD ATMOSPHERE. THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING.“

“Let’s talk about the Greatness that is called “The Grill & Eye!” I was home on a visit and as always I try to engage a new restaurant. As my Bestfriend lives in Weymouth, I stumbled across The Grill & Eye on Yelp and we decided to go for breakfast. Before even getting there, the pictures I saw had me ready to eatttttttttttt. The location was super easy to find as it sits directly on the main road. Parking is scarce, however, there is street parking available and we were able to grab a good spot. Yaay! Walking in, the ambiance is super homely and gives the feel of a mom & pops kind of restaurant. It’s small and quaint, however, they have made great use of the space. The waitress at the counter was very inviting and welcomed us with a huge smile and friendly Welcome In. As it is a seat yourself setup, we decided to sit near the back wall. Once seated the waitress was at our table immediately. She presented us with the menus and took our drink order. OhEmGee! Let’s talk about the menu. There is no shortage of options whatsoever! The variation of food options truly make it a hard decision to figure out what you want. I’m all for ordering the entire menu, lol. In all seriousness, the menu is amazing and there is something for everyone regardless of what you have a taste for. I decided to order the platter with 2 Pancakes, Bacon, Sausage Links, and Eggs. As I don’t eat eggs, I was excited that I was able to swap out my eggs for grits. It’s the small things in life that mean the most. LoL! Once our order was placed, the excitement increased and we were ready to eat. Seeing the other orders come out for the tables around us truly increased the anticipation. Ha! Lucky for me, the food didn’t take long at all. Everything was out in a timely manner and every single item on the plate was fresh. Speaking of fresh, all of the meat was quality cuts and the grits were real grits. The food was not only fresh but it was flavorful. The sweet to salt ratio provided by the pancake syrup and meat really made every single bite a mouth pleasing, flavor rewarding experience. The bacon was crispy and meaty. The pancakes were fluffy and a perfect size as they almost covered the entire plate. The sausage was flavorful and not too greasy, and best of all, the grits were not too watery or too stiff. The water to grit ratio was spot on and the natural grit flavor wasn’t overpowered by the butter, yet the butter was present and added to the creamy smooth texture that was accomplished. Overall I am overjoyed by my meal, the service, and the pricing at The Grill & Eye and I will be returning the next time I’m home for a visit.“

“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 ??“

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“Great little spot we found today! My daughter had a delicious salad and I had the fish sandwich! Very good, clean and friendly service!“

“Best corned beef hash in the world.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have been there many times for breakfast and the food, wait staff and atmosphere are outstanding. They have the BEST hot chocolate I've ever had! The food is always cooked to my satisfaction, I always have leftovers to bring home and the pancakes are amazingly light and fluffy, as well as very large! I can't say enough good things about them. My husband and I go there at least once every 2 weeks now that we're retired. There is ample parking and it is very easy to get to. I've noticed a lot of regulars now that we go there so often, and that's always a good sign. I highly recommend it. Our son, who is vegetarian, has no problem finding items he can eat and even he's impressed with it. It's the best breakfast place around and we won't go to any others, even Newcomb Farms, which used to be our favorite.“

“Dinner’s very popular so with a little wait after registration.
Great traditional breakfast (eggs, sausages or bacon, hash browns, taosts) or pancakes, all of a reasonable size for French people.
Don’t hesitate if you’re in the area, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Very shocked, this IHOP location was very clean and well-maintained. The food was better than normal and felt fresh and actually high end. Which we were not expecting. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Very pleased and we were all more than satisfied“

“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.“

“Probably the best food south of Boston, don't be fooled by the hidden location.“

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

“Indoors great service love 💕 the service“

“We stopped here for breakfast. We ordered 5 egg, cheese, & bacon croissants. The service was fantastic & the croissants were really good. A plus is that we sat on the counter & had a ice view of the Massachusetts State House.“

“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!!“

“Your bagels are delicious!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The worlds largest Breakfast menu. Everything made from scratch and the staff makes you feel like Family.“

“Does not accept credit cards however food was really good and service was really fast!“

“T’s Cafe is one of the best coffee shops around. Love all there food and coffee. Thomas is a great owner. I have been going there ever since he opened and I go at least 4-5 times a week.“

“What a lovely spot on a summer evening! Music was fun--a wedding/cover band that had some very good musicians and singers. Menu was limited but food came out right away and was very good. Prices were, as expected, kinda high, but we thoroughly enjoyed it all.“

“great breakfast stop! all the pastries looked delicious. Beef tips and eggs were excellent! my family really enjoys eating here“

“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!“

“My family loves the smoothies! My favorite is the brownstone and my son loves the berrylicious“
