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.

Definitely​ has diner vibes from the inside. We went there for brunch around 1pm and got chef's special omelette.

The flavors were decent I'd say. The onions could've been browned more. For the price, I think it's a bit expensive for what you're getting.

The coffee mug I got was a bit dirty as well.

I’ve lived in Waltham for over a year, and Uncommon Grounds is my favorite place to get breakfast or an early lunch. The new Gobbler pressed sandwich is my favorite, and a huge portion. The pricing is very fair for how much you’re getting, especially since most breakfast items come with toast and home fries. Don’t even get me started on the lattes, they are to DIE for!

After moving to Watertown, I visited Uncommon Grounds twice and have come to a consistent conclusion. While it is an acceptable restaurant with a basic menu, I find the prices to be higher than those at other breakfast spots in the city. Without naming specific competitors, there are several places in Watertown where you can enjoy larger portions for a lower cost. However, I must commend them on their white chocolate latte, which is undoubtedly their standout offering! The atmosphere is also well done! Good attitudes from their employees!

Good food, strange service. You pay before you eat take a number sit at a table and wait for your food to delivered. Also waitress gave me a fake smile that quickly turned into a scowl until she realized I was giving a tip.

When you need a weekend morning breakfast before 10am and you want to sit outside and there need to be sole gluten free options... Uncommon Grounds has got you covered. The menu is exciting and the food was pretty good.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free choices.

Kid-friendliness: Eat outdoors!

Avoid going on weekends and with a party of more than one.
Order has to be placed at the counter inside and the line snakes outside like a 'disneyland' line.
Food is not brought out together. Three members in my party finished eating by the time my order was delivered.
