    I went to the one of Harvard Ave yearssss ago and was so sad when they closed down. To my surprise wandering yelp I came across this new location and bookmarked it immediately after asking if this is this is the new location. We happened to be nearby for an event and realised this was within walking distance. So we came here for brunch. Inside a little more modern than the previous location but still has an antique flair to it. The restaurant is full of natural lighting. The food is just as I remembered it. I don't have the most exciting order but the nostalgia was running through me. The beef bacon is a must-get. Can't wait to be back again.

    Sweet treats after meal

    This place is a hidden gem!! The food is AMAZING! The omelettes are SO large and the French Toast was simply delicious. The wait staff is some of the friendliest I've ever encountered, and they even brought a little tray of sweets at the end of our meal - how nice! The decor is so homely and exciting to look at. The natural hanging plants really add something to the place. Will be back ASAP to try more items on the menu!

    Excellent place

    Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent location and environment. This is a wonderful place for a brunch or lunch. They welcome you with a smile. The owner will bring you that delicious piping hot cheese Fatayer (Syrian pizza). The food is not spicy, it's perfectly balanced and serviced fresh. Would come back for a brunch for sure. All meats are halal.

    My lamb kabab sandwich was good. It did not come with any sides. Hubby enjoyed his lentil soup and knafa. I'd try the baklava next time

    Parking is limited to the street. Any parking reserved for employees. The restaurant is divided: one part is restaurant with a separate area with drinks and fruit. There are house plants as part of the decor which is a nice touch. I had the regular, mushroom omelette, hash browns and toast. They include some fresh fruit which added color to the plate. The omelette was loaded with mushrooms and cheese.

    Banana pecan French toast
    Ameera A.

    The food was very delicious! I got the banana pecan French toast. My friend got an omelet and it was also delicious. We had a reservation and got seated early. The water is self serve and the place was clean. They didn't rush us so we had time to talk and enjoy the restaurant.

    Shakushuka + Greek style eggs with a side of sausage.

    I truly loved this place!! We walked in during peak brunch hours on a Saturday and we were sat right away. The food and drinks came out quickly as well. I got the Greek style eggs with a side of sausage and french toast and my friend got the Shakshuka and both were phenomenal. Overall, I would recommend this place to my friends as a great place to get breakfast/brunch. I think this is also a great place if you would like to try something new!

    " Warm cozy and friendly neighborhood cafe " The vibe is warm and cozy . The staff is friendly and helpful. I came in today at 3:40 pm it closes at 4:00 pm . I came in for some pastries and coffee. The pastries by this time were all put away in the case . They didn't look fresh at all or tasty . They were behind a glass case that didn't look too clean . The cookies of chocolate and white chocolate looked good on a glass at the counter . However, the staff said they were just out for display . The cookies ran out . So I didn't get to try any pastries today . The coffee wasn't anything to rave about either . So this place has a cozy vibe however it's just ok . They have a separate area for dinning in and another area to sit and enjoy your coffee. They also have a small little market which is helpful if you want to take home something. I brought home some avocados . Just want to mention parking is limited to street parking . I am very fortunate to have tried this place today. I always drive by and hear good things about this cafe . The prices are not too bad either btw ( by the way).

    Phenomenal experience- wide arrange of food option, beautiful decor, casual but still pretty vibe, indoor and outdoor seating, friendly and kind staff, and INCREDIBLE FOOD! This is a secret gem. I'm so so glad I found it.

    Lamb swarma wrap
    Filipe V.

    Amazing value. When walking in, the fresh, well-lit space among its vibrant decor brought me into the feeling as if I was transported to a different country. I loved the displayed of teapots, antinques, collectibles, plants hanging from the ceiling and so much more. The food is rather large and for a very reasonable price. I'm surprised the can operate off the price they put the items at and their size. Food's decent. My only critique is I would go for smaller portions with a higher quality. The meat I got in the lamb wrap was tasty but it had to many much lettuce and tomato; which because of the size started to spill out and unfortunately got messy quick. Willing to try this llace instead and go for the breakfast items next time. Regardless, atmosphere is amazing and surprised not more people were occupyibg it.

    This gem of a cafe is located in the heart of Brighton, with a stunning internal decor that draws inspiration from its Syrian roots. The menu offers a mix of traditional American and Syrian options--both of which are delicious! We've been here a few times, trying different items, and each time the food comes out great. The service is also quick and helpful. As a bonus, I'm a huge fan of fried chicken & waffle, and In House is the only cafe in Boston that offers these halal! Definitely a must try.

    Smoked Salmon Omlette
    Tessa L.

    Aleppo Eggs Plate 4.5/5 Smoked Salmon Omlette 5/5 Great place for brunch! They have a huge menu of items to select from that includes breakfast and lunch/dinner items. They also have some baked goods up at the counter that you can order as well. It's seems to be a family-run business and all of the staff are quite friendly and polite. We've gotten free dessert on the house the times that I've gone in bigger groups! The restaurant itself is under a senior living community and has a nice open area for seating that has a lot of windows to let sunlight in. It also has a small market area off to the side that offers convenience store types of foods. No parking lot and not much parking outside of the restaurant itself, but if you're willing to walk ~10 min or so there is street parking on some of the side streets.

    I love the vibe at Glasser Coffee: every corner is filled with lush, dangling plants and a cozy…read morefeel. Their coffee options are incredible (so many options!) and I always gravitate toward their breakfast sandwich. It's on this big, poofy ciabattino roll with egg, cheese, and arugula, and it is so satisfyingly rich but not too, too heavy. (You can add meat, too, although I think it's good as is.) Their Vietnamese cold brew is a must-try. I know some reviewers didn't love it, but for me, it's pure bike fuel: Cafe du Monde cold brew with condensed milk...and that color gradient! Oh, it's gorgeous. They don't mix it in advance, so every sip is a swirl from brown to creamy white. On a holiday (Juneteenth), I even biked over to grab the breakfast taco for my coworkers who had to be at work for a bit, and they raved about it too. It's always buzzing, especially on weekends, but now that it's good weather out, they recently added outdoor seating. What a fun, local, charming coffee spot, and honestly, I think it's the best one in Brighton.

    The minute you walk into Glasser Coffee, the vibes are instantly immaculate--it smells so relaxing…read moreand has that perfect "pin drop quiet" atmosphere. It's an artsy, natural environment that feels like a total sanctuary if you need to put your head down and get some work done or just chill with a cup of tea. While you're waiting for your drink, they have this really lovely community wall that's so sweet to read through. You can genuinely feel the sense of community in there, which makes the whole place feel super welcoming. However, I'd probably skip the Vietnamese coffee next time. It didn't quite hit the mark for authenticity; the condensed milk felt a bit watered down and the coffee itself wasn't nearly concentrated enough to give it that signature kick. It's a beautiful place to sit and relax, and I'd totally go back to try something else on the menu, but the Viet coffee was a bit of a letdown. Go for the peace and quiet and the heartwarming community vibes, but maybe pivot to a different drink!
