    The staff was very friendly and helped with menu questions. I thought the price was fair for the quantity and quality of food. I got the arugula salad, tomato, and basil soup, and a fruit cup, and my friend got one of the mochi waffles with a side of bacon and eggs and a pao de quejo. Inside was brightly lit, and there was enough seating. There's also seating outside. It did not take long for food to be finished and it was brought out to our table. The soup was delicious and the fruit was very fresh. I'm excited to go back and try one of the waffles! My friend loved her waffles and sides. She also got the strawberry matcha and said it was delicious and creamy

    good pesto brisket

    Had the good pesto brisket sandwich and thought it was a solid sandwich. The brisket was tender and the soft doughy bun was nice. Pesto, cheese, and beef are an interesting combo though so I can see it not working for everyone.

    I've been to the Somerville location for brunch and loved it. This time, I swung by the Cambridge location to grab something to go--specifically the Brazilian cheese breads (both plain and guava-filled) and their cookie. The cheese breads are dense and great quality, but honestly...I felt ripped off. I've been spoiled by all the Brazilian bakeries in Somerville/Medford, where these usually run 50 cents each. At Bom Dough, they're $3.50 for the plain and $4 for the filled. That's borderline robbery. I still bought them because I was craving them, but next time I'll stick with Somerville bakeries. The cookie, on the other hand, is absolutely worth the price. Thick, soft, super chocolatey--addictive. The space itself is relaxed and open. The staff was friendly but a bit odd--somewhere between helpful and slightly pushy, almost like he was judging my order for not ordering enough. Overall: Great quality and a diverse menu with something for everyone, but be prepared--some items are overpriced.

    Incredible! Was visiting for Thanksgiving break and came here MULTIPLE times for breakfast, as I was staying in the Kimpton Hotel (~10 min). Aesthetically pleasing, delicious flavors of syrups to choose from for coffee drinks, and their breakfast sandwhichs are scrumptious (thick cuts of bacon = magic in my mouth lols). Highly highly recommend!

    sunny stack sandwich, guava pao de queijo, peach matcha latte

    Bōm Dough is the bomb! (Cheesy, I know.) This is a delightful spot for breakfast. Their matcha lattes are excellent and made with high quality matcha. Also enjoyed the guava pao de queijo, and their use of pao de quiejo as the bread for the breakfast sandwiches! Sweet and savory! The employees were friendly and the space had good chill vibes.

    I left feeling so full after eating my sandwich. I ordered the crack chicken sandwich on a pan de quejo bread which was really good. I got my sauce on the side which was a good choice because it was messy. The cheese was nice and melty, and the bread was toasted flat almost like a panini. My raspberry mocha latte wasn't my favorite but it was okay. It was really sweet and not what I am used to. This place was busy but there was plenty of seating. It was a little on the pricier side also but was of quality food.

    Dulece dulce de leche latte
    Patricia Y.

    I have gotten a few snacks and drinks from here on the go. But i never sat down and gotten served food until today! Last time i got the maple iced latte. Did not like it all. Was very gritty and i don't like grainy textures. If you have sensory issues like me i wouldn't try that as your first drink. IF YOU GET A DRINK PLEASE GET THE ICED DULCE DE LEITE LATTE! i had it. It was so yummy. And yes they do have oat milk!!! I love their pan de queso. They're very big and fluffy. I do enjoy Brazilian pastries and snacks so i knew it was gonna be good! However this is on the pricier side btw. I have been to different Brazilian spots around Boston (East Boston) that were cheaper and offered more bang for your buck than this place but hey, it's cambridge. So expect that! i picked the classic egg Benedict. It comes with bacon or brisket if you like. I don't eat meat so the guy was nice enough to offer tomatoes instead. It came with 1 pao de quezo cut in half . I was expecting at least 2 but i also have a small appetite (i get full fast) so i wasn't complaining lol. As well as hollandaise which i never tried? It was good! I was pleasantly shocked. It also came with baked potatoes/home fries. The Benedict eggs were yummy but could use more seasoning. Luckily they have a cafe condiment bar if you wanna add salt, pepper or ketchup. It was very clean and the bathrooms were so spacious and single use (privacy)! I love the decor and they have many plug outlets if you plan to come in and drink coffee and just get work done on your laptop! Also they offer wifi and it's written on a stand near the register! Overall lovely experience and i will be back!

    guava pao de queijo eggs and green bowl traditional pao de queijo doce de leite pao de queijo
    Rovingaile P.

    Friendly service! Tried the divine matcha (?, the one with blue hue) but it was too sweet for me. The traditional pao was good given the cheese. The guava and dolce were interesting since it was the traditional with those sauces.. not sure if it's my vibe palate wise.

    berry mochi waffles
    Demeka F.

    We enjoyed our Bom Dough brunch! We ordered to go once we got to the restaurant. It was a bit hard to find where to stand while waiting for our order, but the staff was kind. Once we got home to our food, I was excited to try the gluten free muffin, which was pretty good. The muffin was a good size and pretty moist. I think the waffles are best hot and might be better eating them fresh at the restaurant. We put ours in the air frier for a couple minutes to get them crisp. The waffles were pretty good. The restaurant doesn't have egg whites, which was unfortunate. We didn't need all the toppings for the waffles but the fresh fruit was a good edition. Overall we'd definitely go back.

    mother earth matcha latte
    Jessica T.

    Great breakfast spot! Ordered the sunny stack and good pesto brisket sandwiches with roasted potatoes that were amazing. I was most excited for their matcha lattes so we ordered the strawberry matcha and Mother Earth which were 10/10! So fun and cool. Would highly recommend to others and the plan is to come back and try other menu items!

    Rebecca ..

    An excellent spot to find gluten free food. Got the mochi waffle meal with bacon and scrambled eggs. It was the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The coffee was also roasted beautifully. There is plenty of seating options near the cafe if the seating inside is full. This would be a 5 star except the pastry I ordered was missing from my takeout and the coffee I purchased was continuously leaking.

    crack chicken
    Erin O.

    This is a very solid cafe with a very unique flavor profile! With most dishes containing either pão de queijo or mochi dough, you can't find any other place like this in the Boston area. If you're a fan of matcha, the drinks here are also very good! I ordered a "mother earth" matcha latte, and even though I honestly had no idea what the flavor was, it was absolutely delicious and probably the best matcha I've tried in the area thus far. I also ordered the crack chicken sandwich which was very good, although the bread was the only thing that stood out for me. I noticed in other reviews that people usually got a side sauce with this sandwich, which I unfortunately didn't get, but not sure how big of a deal breaker that is. I'd love to try some of their other menu options as everything here sounded and looked very tasty! Overall I think this is a cute place to hang out at or stop by to grab some food to-go.

    sunny stack
    Monica L.

    Friendly service! Clean modern space! Got the sunny stack sandwich with the pao de queijo. It was pretty tasty and the bread was a nice texture. Was a bit small for the price but overall still fun to try!

TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

    We were part of a large group (12 diners) for a pre-wedding dinner/party…read more Except for the couple getting married, I believe the rest of our party were the only out-of-towners dining that evening. This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options. There is a street-side patio if you wish to watch the people and cars at Davis Square. Five Horses serves American comfort food, and they do a pretty good job serving up their offerings. I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening. If I lived here, this would be in my rotation for a brew or two, catch a game, and enjoy a burger.

    I try not to post negative reviews but I do not recommend the flank steak. I saw it (flank steak,…read morechimmichurri sauce, mashed potatoes, and broccoli) at $29 and said I haven't ordered a steak in while, let's treat myself. Boy was I disappointed, it was literally four tiny slices of beef, about a ladle and a half of mashed potatoes (flavor was great but the texture was dry and it was hard to swallow), and the broccoli was broccoli. The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) but it was room temp and I would describe that serving size as maybe the equivalent of a medallion. Everything else our table ordered (pizza, shepherd's pie, and a burger) looked great but the flank steak is not it y'all. However the service was top notch and will definitely go back, just won't order the flank steak next time!
