Cinnamon roll french toast...out of this world!

Jonathan A.

Was looking for an early dinner and stumbled across this gem near Bunker Hill. I saw that their special for the day was Cinnamon Roll French Toast so I had to ask about it. They take a 4-5 inch cinnamon roll, slice it in half and put egg batter on it and fry it on the griddle...sounds heavenly right??? It was sooo good! I would give them 6 stars if I could. Also only $8ish dollars. Definitely have to come back for this again!

This little gem was a surprise. It is a real hole-in-the-coffee place. First of all, they make an excellent coffee. Wait, it gets better! Instead of a paper cup, you can have it in a porcelain French cup with thick walls to keep the coffee hot, on a saucer. I ordered a macchiato, being a sucker for 'crema'. The staff is very friendly. I was just visiting Charlestown. Otherwise, I would become a regular. I can go on about the ambience. But the picture worth 1000 words.

Sorry for taking a late photo - this was the last half of the Marblehead stacker on an English muffin. So good!

Visiting from Austin and this place is really great. We ordered the Marblehead Stacker on English muffins - I have never seen such a large English muffin. So delicious and packed with bacon. Also ordered a white mocha and a mocha and both were piping hot, just what we needed to start out a long day of sight seeing. One last item, a yogurt with fruit - also good with a lot of blueberries, strawberries and sliced bananas. Creamy, dreamy and just really tasty. I would eat here every day if I lived in Charlestown! The folks running the show were very nice and you could tell they loved their place and that they take great care with everything!

Good pancakes, meh iced coffee, good bacon. I really enjoyed Mister Q Cafe. It's a small place so there isn't much seating, but there is indoor and outdoor seating (weather permitting). I got peanut butter and banana pancakes (3 pancakes for $5.25). They came out perfectly and were both filling and delicious. The food in general that I saw others eating all looked amazing. My mother's toast came out a little too dark/burnt for her taste, and they got her new, not-so-done toast very quickly. A+ service. The bacon was delicious and cooked perfectly. I see a lot of other people raving about their coffee, but I am guessing that applies more to the hot coffee. The black iced coffee with lite ice ($3.25) I got tasted more like hot coffee that was already made got poured over ice, make a very watery tasting coffee. Even so, I would definitely come back to Mister Q Cafe. I'd recommend Mister Q to anybody looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot.

Menu (only real complaint are prices aren't posted)

Today was opening day of Mister Q! Charlestown is desperate for take out. Like, it's a serious problem. While there's an abundance of coffee shops around, we really, really need a good sandwich place. Anna's has food, but it's up and over the hill and my legs are tired of going up and over that hill and Style Cafe is at least a 30 minute walk to and from. I came in today for opening day (I had been peeking in for months with anticipation) and well, it was nice. Sorta forgettable, but perfectly pleasant with a nice menu. Breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, sandwiches, paninis, burgers and coffee. Desserts looked lovely. I ordered an Italian panini to-go. Sandwich came out quickly and with Cape Cod Chips and I happily walked home to try it. It was solid. Nothing earth shattering, but solid. Overall assessment- if I were downtown, I'd be like, that's nice but whatevs, but because it's in Charlestown, this cafe is a star.

Great food and a good price. Stopped by today to grab a meal before a late night class at Cambridge college and was pleasantly surprised. I got the Italian panini with a bag of chips, a large caramel macchiato (hot) and a red velvet cockiest for less than $20. The food was fresh, hot and quick. I loved the outdoor seating and all the workers were friendly. Will definitely return when I have the time to grab a meal before class! read more

I'm writing this review in case it helps this new-ish local business survive the pandemic. I've only ever had the Grilled Chicken Salad, but it is incredibly good and I assume everything else is great as well. A salad with chicken can be really standard at a lot of places, but the chicken from here is beyond tasty and juicy and it feels a little elevated from what you normally get. It's a nicely sized portion as well - perfect for lunch or dinner, and the bread that it comes with is not your dry pita that you get at a pizza shop - it's a soft, garlicky naan-style bread that is delicious. This is a great neighborhood place in Charlestown, and I'm excited to try some other things from the menu. read more

I had a fantastic experience here this morning. After biking by daily, I saw the "coming soon" sign and had been curious to check them out. Went in this morning and was impressed by the menu, dessert display, and cozy corner booth. Ordered a cappuccino and Townie Stacker to have there, but when I reached for my wallet - it wasn't there. Naturally, I got very uncomfortable and try to get them to stop making my order after espresso was already ground and eggs about to be cracked. But Mister Q himself just says, "Don't worry, everyone's human. Just come back tomorrow or whenever you can. Sit and enjoy your breakfast." The grill master actually delivered my food, and even went back to grab me a napkin for what was a deliciously flaky croissant sandwich. After fretting for a bit about where my wallet could have gone, I found it in another corner of my backpack and paid before leaving, but the whole experience stuck with me. They have quite a large menu for the size of the place. My breakfast was delicious. I have high hopes for these guys. Don't get me wrong, I still love Zume's down the street and the community there, but for a new spot these guys left an impression and are well worth your time and money to check out. read more

I wanted to try this new place down the street from were in staying. This is a cozy little place. It has a nice environment with background music. I wanted something small to eat for breakfast and this was the perfect place. The menu wasn't super expensive and had a good range of items from breakfast to lunch items. I picked the egg and ham sandwich wrap. It was good. A typical wrap, I just wished they would use diced ham instead. It would make it better if there was some sort of potato inside the wrap as well. Overall it was a great place to get a quick bite to eat. Nothing dazzling but good. read more

If you live in Charlestown and have not checked out this place, i highly recommend it! Mister Q's is exactly what this town needed, and it is quickly becoming my favorite small business to support in this town! The steak tip salad or grilled chicken caesar salad are my favorite lunchtime go to orders (the greek dressing is super yummy and the steak tips are always perfect!) The breakfast sandwiches are to die for! I really like how all of the food is made to order. The coffee is amazing -- super smooth and tasty. On top of the great food and coffee, the owners and staff of Mister Q are some of the friendliest people around. They delivery great food with great customer service, which makes me want to support this small business as often as i can! If you have not tried Mister Q's, you're missing out! :) read more

Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office.

Aside from that, the employees bringing food to the table were very kind, attentive, and pleasant. Overall the food and coffee were excellent. I would come back for the pastries and lattes, but hopefully the front counter service improves.

Stopped by here for an impromptu lunch with a friend after Zumba class…read more The place was quite crowded as usual and we looked around for seating and decided to sit at the bar. Nice decor at the bar. You can order from the same food menu. I ordered the nana's egg sandwich in a pita - it was essentially an omelette sandwich with boursin, olive tapenade, cucumber, tomato and schug which is a green hot sauce which I got on the side. It was quite interesting- not what I had expected and next time I would ask to omit the olive tapenade. I asked for ketchup to add in. It was a really good portion- probably 2 or 3 eggs. Very hearty and filling. The friend ordered the eggplant quinoa bowl which comes in this sauce and very cheesy. Comes with bread - really tasty! Bartender was friendly and service was great!

Mike's Pastry

When we were at Harvard we saw Mike's Pastry and I thought about stopping in to buy cannoli but I…read moredidn't because we were planning to go to Paul Revere's house in North End and this Mike's Pastry location is a couple of blocks away. If I had gone to the Harvard location I would have been in and out in 5-10 minutes. That was not the case at the North End location but in fairness it was Friday night and around the time people want dessert. The North End location had four lines from the counter to the door with the line out the door. They take cash only but while you wait you have plenty of time to decide on what you actually want to get. They have 10+ cannoli flavors plus many other pastries. We opted for a pistachio cannoli and a amaretto cannoli. The cannoli were twice the size of what I was anticipating so we split one on Friday and split the other on Saturday. If I went back I'd get the amaretto again. The pistachio was mostly ricotta tasting. If you go, go early and bring cash!

Pastry store with lots of options and flavors! Cash only. When you walk in you can see cases of…read morepastries and workers ready to take your order. The box it up for you and tie it up after asking if you want some powdered sugar to top on your pastries. The pistachio cannoli had great texture. First bite had all the pistachio pieces. The middle part was not too sweet with a slightly crisp crust wrapping it. The Boston cream slice was ok. Was not for me texture wise but did like the chocolate on top.

Tora Japanese Restaurant

Extremely fresh fish with generous portions in a casual, underground space…read more I think this is a reasonably priced establishment for the level of fish (phenomenal) and service (reasonable and attentive, but not like a fancier sit down restaurant) that you get. I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!
