46 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Melrose

“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!“

“My sister, nice, and I wandered around Bostons wharf area for a quick breakfast and stumbled into Sunny Girl on the corner of Fleet and Atlantic. Would've missed it due to scaffolding but had cafe tables outside. Food wad Amazing!!! BLT was stacked mountain high and the English Muffin was The Best ever!“

“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 .“

“The mimosas are amazing!!“

“I don’t know what kind of sorcery Mike & Patty’s is working with, but the “Crack” sandwich is slappin. This sandwich doesn’t just feed you — it hugs your soul, whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds, and leaves you wondering if breakfast can ever be this good again. Have it once and you’ll be calling your mama to tell her your hooked and you can’t stop swearin!

Final verdict: 11/10. Worth the risk of addiction.“

“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!“

“Had such a great morning treat here! Justin W., owner, was really friendly and provided prompt service. It was handled in a very professional manner, and I left feeling happy and ready to start the day. Thank you, Justin! 😊 Would gladly return.“

“I stopped by on a whim and found my new favorite brunch spot. Delicious, fresh food and great service. Reasonably priced and clean dining area. I will be back!“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“Mike & Patty’s is a staple in Boston. Everyone is so welcoming and the food is to die for. Don’t try to be healthy and make sure you order the Bfast Grilled Crack with a big cup of coffee. Eat at the counter (only two seats) or take your sandwich outside and stroll the village.“

“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.“

“Visiting from MN and we will always come back here when we’re in MA. 🥹 Every one of the staff were smiling and so so sweet, we felt overwhelmingly welcomed as soon as we walked in. Food is 10/10! Wish we could take this little cafe back home with us. Thank you Aldo and family for a memorable experience. Wish you and yours all the best! ❤️“

“Fantastic, friendly, super fast service. Some of the best breakfast you'll ever have. Jennifer was absolutely superb today. 👏 Highly recommended.“

“I love Hannah’s breakfast but this is a big thank you for an amazing birthday cake . My daughter wanted a hard to find character but Hannah found it and created an amazing cake. It was also one of the best cakes I have ever had. Hannah your cake was a star of the party.“

“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.“

“Fantastic service , great food“

“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.“

“great service and food at reasonable prices“

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

“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!!“

“Great place to eat breakfast we always leave full love their home squeezed orange juice“

“I'm here nearly every day before work and the food, drinks, and staff are all equally exceptional. The only coffee shop that's batting 1000 on a perfect drink every time.“

“My daughter & her boyfriend treated me for breakfast, here, for my first time. It's a favorite of hers that she use to frequent w/ my granddaughter. I ordered off of the "Specials Menu" consisting of Avacado Toast on Sour Dough, with crispy bacon [which I love!], accompanied by scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese & a side of real potato hashbrowns. Delicious! Our waiter was very accomodating, & friendly. The other waitress there was also complimentary & gracious. While enjoying our food, the owner came from the kitchen, to make his rounds to the different customers for a little chit chat. An added bonus was viewing all of the different artwork that hung on the walls. I like the area. It's in walking distance to the ocean; as well as not far from where I now reside. Looking forward to another outing ! ~ Patchouli Gal ✌️😉“

“Great local coffee shop. Excellent breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Always friendly. Phone App. Makes it easy to place order on line and pick-up.“

“The establishment offers a warm, family-friendly environment and outstanding service. It is always a pleasure to visit and enjoy the diverse menu, which caters to every occasion. Thanks Luigi’s Family“

“Outstanding food and service. Will come back every time we are on Wakefield.“

“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.“

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

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious“

“Delicious food and excellent services. Very clean and friendly. Hard working and very good people. Best food around. Definitely try this restaurante.“

“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 ??“

“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.“

“Absolutely Amazing!! Such a cute inviting place. Staff was sweet and the desserts were delicious!!“

“If you want a hometown diner feel, this is the place to go! Went for breakfast here this morning and it was great! The service, food and staff were awesome. I just had surgery on my hand and I mentioned to my cousin how an omelette would be easier to eat then picking up a sandwich. The waitress quickly chimed in and told me the cook will cut it into fours for me! I would recommend this place to anyone! 😊“

“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.“

“Friendly staff with excellent kitchen crew. Great family run place with great atmosphere. You are treated like family here.“

“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.“

“This place fixed my jet lag... First time in Boston, first place I went, ordered the Capitol Breakfast. Pancakes are the best, sausage and eggs delicious too, and great coffee.
Small business with friendly staff, lots of regular customers, great place to just sit and relax. Felt like I'd been coming here for years.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Best neighborhood breakfast!“

“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“

“This may sound silly but I had the best breakfast sandwich of my life here this morning. Everyone in my 4 person party were thrilled with their choices (3 breakfast sandwiches and a grilled and buttered blueberry muffin and side of sausage) I’m not a big egg fan but the sandwich sounded so good. The eggs were cooked perfectly and balanced with the right amount of meat and cheese. The English muffin was cooked to a perfect crisp. Not only that but EVERYONE working there was so friendly and welcoming. It was our last day in Boston and I only regret not finding this place sooner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I’ll be thinking about that breakfast sandwich for a long time.“

“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!“
