First time coming here and it will not be my last! This clean cozy cafe has everything you need for a nice brunch! Service was efficient and amazing! I ordered the meat lovers omelet and the waitress recommended the grilled mashed potatoes and THEY WERE OUTSTANDING!! I am now hooked. Their hot chocolate was tasty too! I enjoyed everything on my plate! I will be back!

Really good service!!! No wait, both times I've been, however, I've seen people waiting outside for a table. Yummy food! The Moroccan eggs were fantastic! The omelets are good, so are the eggs and steak tips!!

Ball Square Cafe is a fantastic breakfast spot in the Somerville area. Overall, it offers a great dining experience. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. While the prices are on the higher side for breakfast, I believe it’s worth it for the quality. I highly recommend checking it out!
