    Brazilian *Brazilian Style Breakfast Sandwich
    Richard M.

    The service is by far the best. They are very hospitable and welcoming. The food is usually on point. The sandwiches we ordered were great they just needed a push in flavor (maybe adding a pesto sauce?) the ambiance is a great go casual dates and hangouts.

    I can't believe it took me so long to try Mama Ana! This is such a cute cozy brunch place which I really feel this area needs more of. I love the Brazilian influence and the amazing variety. I absolutely love Pão de queijo and I love that they service it hot and fresh! You can even getting it toasted with different spreads.I got them with Requeijão (brazilian cream cheese) and it was one of the most incredible things i've ever tasted. They have a great drink and coffee selection also. I can't wait to come back and try more!!

    Mama Ana is a delightful neighborhood breakfast/lunch spot with real charm to it. Conveniently close to where we were staying for our trip to the area, it was on our radar and after looking at the menu we were all sold. I enjoyed taking in the atmosphere as I waited to order and I even noticed Mama Ana interacting with a family she seemed familiar with. I had the breakfast tacos and the pineapple smoothie. They both seemed SO FRESH. The winner of my party seemed to consensus be the shepherds pie, so that's something I strongly recommend. Love this place!

    BLT

    Food-4/5 Atmosphere-4/5 Service-4.5/5 Mama Ana's seems like the quintessential neighborhood gem. It has a menu filled with options that are sure to cover everyone's tastebuds. With a wide variety ranging from salads and sandwiches to inspired takes on Sheperds pie and tacos. I had the BLT, admittedly because I was overwhelmed by the options, but it was very tasty! It was a slightly elevated take on the traditional BLT. The fries were crispy and cooked really well. I would recommend to try some of their unique offerings as I tasted some of my friends food who ordered the ground beef shepherds pie and it was delicious! Overall, I think this is definitely a place worth trying!

    The Spicy Creamy Eggs

    I recently enjoyed a delightful breakfast at Mama Ana Brazilian Breakfast/Brunch spot. I ordered creamy scrambled eggs with cheese, chorizo, and hot sauce were exceptional. I especially liked the cheese melted into the eggs that would pull from every bite. The portion was generous, and bursted with flavor. The combination of rich, creamy eggs and the spicy kick from the chorizo and hot sauce made for a satisfying meal! Very nice little spot for a casual breakfast/brunch for dining in or to go - staff is very friendly and exceptional!

    After a killer Sunday gym workout my friends and I went to Style Cafe for a quick breakfast. We got there around 9am and there was plenty of parking spaces and no wait time. I ordered the regular breakfast burrito with fresh OJ (yes, real, and fresh pressed oranges!). The food came out pretty fast and it was yummy. My burrito was pretty big and I was only able to eat half of it. The OJ was delish and I was really happy to find this treat in Boston.

    Passion Fruit Pudding

    Great food and many healthy options! The pudding is amazing. Amazing service with good recommendations. It has a chill vibe that makes you want to stay a while!

I really, really, REALLY wanted pancakes. The website said brunch goes until 3. We get there at 2:50. They said they were no longer serving brunch and they've moved to their limited menu, because brunch ends at 3. You can imagine the puzzled look on our faces when they told us it ended at 3pm but it's still 2:50pm. They said we would have been fine if we were 5 minutes earlier. Weird that 2:45 is fine but 2:50 is not. We were annoyed, to say the least. But we were hungry, we didn't know what else was around, we needed to eat, and it already took us 30 minutes to get here in an Uber. Two guys came in after us, also before 3, who were also really excited for brunch. They too were shut down. We ordered off the limited menu. It was okay. It was fine. But that's not the point. If brunch ends at 2:45, then say it ends at 2:45. Don't say it ends at 3pm and then shut people down because it secretly closes earlier. I get that you guys want to switch the kitchen over and prep for dinner, but serve the food you say you're going to serve at the time you're going to serve them. Nobody came in after us and the other party that was also in before 3, so it's not like there was some never ending rush of people trying to get brunch. I also don't recall anyone else coming in before we left probably an hour. Poor communication and poor customer service.

I then got the other daily special, the breakfast grilled cheese and my mom got the smash burger. The grilled cheese was ooey and gooey and delicious. A little more soggy than I would've liked due to the aioli but still tasty, felt like a good egg and cheese panini--I liked the flavors. Also it came with smashed potato's which I've never tried before but omg my new favorite way to eat potatoes. My mom loved her smash burger too, a good portion and the fries were tasty I stole a few. As soon as we paid and got up to leave, it started to pour with heavy winds. I say luck was on our side and we got to enjoy brunch here. The patio is nice to eat at I'm surprised it wasn't part of the reservations. Overall I was happy with brunch and would come back to try dinner. The pizza looked really good!

My server convinced me to get the spicy clam, and it was devoured so fast. It was gone before he filled my water! Packed with clam meat, drowning in tomato sauce, and it actually had heat --not that "we waved a chili at it" kind of spicy. I fully intended to have some for the next day and then aggressively did not. Final verdict: cozy vibes, bold flavors, zero self-control, and I will absolutely be back.

Huge shoutout to Eduardo, the manager, who went above and beyond to make our sisters holiday outing feel special and intentional, and to our server Paulina, who was attentive, warm, and truly wanted everything to be perfect. And it was. Let's talk ambiance first because whew. Chic. Stylish. Aesthetic on aesthetic. Even the walk to the bathroom felt curated. Ladies... the mirror alone deserves a moment. Full body selfie approved. Now the drinks. The mocktail I had was SO good. Balanced, flavorful, refreshing. I like a mocktail that has flavor and layers without being super sweet. The apps thoughhhhhh! They deserve their own paragraph because baby... The crab rangoon was TO DIE FOR. That old school wrap dough situation? I have been hunting for that exact texture and flavor forever. My fave restaurant switched dough and I haven't had a good Rangoon since then until now. It was crispy, nostalgic, and perfect. The fried egg rolls? Delicious. The pickled cucumbers? Bright and refreshing and er literally ate every drop, lol. But the WINNER... those fall off the bone ribs. I might have made a sound when I bit into them. Cooked to perfection. A full blown flavor party in my mouth. The scallion pancakes were the only thing that did not hit for me. The dough was thicker and heavier than I prefer. I love mine light and airy like traditional scallion pancakes. If they leaned that way I would have been obsessed. Our main courses... baybeeee The Dan Dan noodles... I did not even get a bite. I went to ask my sister for a taste and they were GONE. All of them. That says everything. My other sister loved the dumplings and even more that they fried them for her instead of serving them traditionally. And the sauce with those dumplings... Let me tell you about the sauce. I am OBSESSED. I took some home and Eduardo generously gave me more to take. That is top tier service and an at home sauce party, lol. My fried house rice was excellent. The mix of veggies and flavors was perfection. With everything else we ordered I could not even finish it. And then... dessert. Eduardo and Paulina surprised us with a complimentary cheesecake that was so light and decadent, topped with fruit and homemade whipped cream. Next time I am absolutely saving space for that. The customer service was truly top tier. The decor, the food, the staff, the background music. Everything PERFECT. My sisters and I sat for hours. We laughed. We ate. We shared emotions. We were present. That alone tells you how comfortable and welcoming this space is. I would go back today. I cannot wait to bring my husband and some of my fellow foodies.

Around opening time, the owner came out and personally greeted everyone as they came into the restaurant. He was so friendly. He greeted passers-by on the street and talked with the locals. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. They provided recommendations and offered suggestions. We sat at a window table and were able to see out at the boats.
