Tried the food recently and it was very good! I got the chicken salad sandwich which was very filling and tasted fresh. My strawberry matcha also had real strawberry jam in it and wasn't watered down. The fried chicken sandwich was juicy and flavorful. The workers are so friendly and have the best energy! I love that it's super cozy inside especially in the winter. read more

Very quick service and fresh ingredients. During the warmer months they provide outdoor seating.

Food and atmosphere is great! I don't know what caused their score to be so low, but this place rocks. Check their Google review for a more accurate representation read more

I got a breakfast sandwich (base $5.50 for eggs and cheese) and added bacon, avocado, and a hashbrown which doubled the cost but was worth it. It was packed when I visited and the place was definitely loud but I was busy eating not talking so I didn't mind! The sandwich itself was great, I'll definitely be returning! read more

This place never disappoints! I live nearby so I come often and truly I think this is the best brunch place anywhere near the area. The drinks, baked items, and their incredible menu make this a staple for me and many of my neighbors. I just wish they had more seating and that it wasn't so loud inside when busy. Their outdoor seating is excellent though while the weather is nice. read more

Tasty is right! We got a breakfast sandwich on sourdough and a power berry smoothie, both were absolutely delicious!! Will definitely be back! read more

Such a great little spot we stumbled across. After refusing to pay $15 a person for breakfast at our hotel we came to Tasty Cafe and it was the best decision! A small casual cafe with enough space to sit and enjoy. Super affordable for the amazing food you get! The lattes taste fresh and are perfect. All and all, this spot was 10/10. SB: If you get the croissant ask them to cut it for you. It got a little messy. read more

I recently moved to Medford and was looking for a cute cafe where I can stop by for breakfast. I came across Tasty Cafe and Kitchen. Upon entering the space was very clean, cute and busy. Luckily I was able to snag a table to have my breakfast. I ordered the granola bowl along with the healthy nut. To go I ordered a chocolate croissant. The bowl and the smoothie were both pretty tasty and the prices were reasonable. The chocolate croissant I wasn't much of a fan. The chocolate inside was dry and hard. Overall, this is a cute place to stop for breakfast with a wide variety of options. The staff was friendly and fast. read more

So cute! I've always seen a crowd outside but took a year to actually try. And I'm upset with myself that it took me so long. Tasty is giving a hybrid of coffee shop and diner vibes. And I'm living for it! The French toast is so fluffy and pretty cooked. The tater tots were hot and crispy and salty. The smoothie are also really TASTY! read more

I've tried two of their sandwiches and I have to say they are really tasty, fresh, filling and made of quality ingredients. The price is a bit steep, but I think the price point is reflective of the quality. The chipotle chicken was not spicy at all despite the name, so if you're looking for a kick I would ask for extra chipotle mayo. Great quality chicken and a good sized piece. My only critiques are that they were heavy handed with the red onion, it was over-powering and it could really have used some cheese. The other sandwich I tried was the chicken salad, I was surprised by how much I liked it, well seasoned and all of the components worked well together! Only critique is I thought there were too many dried cranberries for my taste, making it sweeter than I would have liked. Bread on both was great! Overall, impressed by the quality, flavor, and creativity! Not your run of the mill sandwiches. So if you're looking to change things up at your lunch meetings, highly recommend! read more

The greatest (and most expensive) chicken and waffle I've ever had. Incredibly well fried, crispy. with a good chicken to batter recipie, and lovely texture--incredibly well seasoned. Waffles are also well made. I typically buy to go, but the place is small yet very modern and (pricey) feeling with lots of marble, and a bunch of people behind the counter if you wish to sit down. Portion size is reasonable if you're peckish/a light meal but not incredibly filling for a full meal. Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Worth it?: 6/10 read more

I came here for the first time last weekend and got the cha cha breakfast burrito with a gluten free wrap. As someone who has been gf for over 5 years, it was one of the best things I have eaten in a long time. Great flavors, textures, sauce, and structural integrity (difficult with gluten free tortillas). While a bit crowded and noisy at points, the quality of the meal made it worth it. read more

The cafe is small and cute. Perfect to study or catch up with a friend. The service was quick and fresh. My matcha could've used a little more sweetness, but it was rich and delicious. The salmon toast could've come with more salmon and less drizzle of the sauce, but otherwise, the flavors complimented each other very well. read more

Popped into Tasty Cafe while visiting Tufts. Saw the mixed Yelp reviews, but liked the design of the store and the friendly staff. Unfortunately it was just average - coffee and latte were just average, and their breakfast burrito was not delicious. Staff was friendly and kind and helpful, but would not return. Needs some help with food and espresso drinks. read more

Breakfast food was ok, bacon was way over cooked, I love crispy bacon but this was over cooked and dry. French toast was good. Tried placing the order over the phone, someone would pick up and hang it right up. Very frustrating not being able to place the order over the phone ahead of time. When I arrived to place the order no one was in the restaurant apparently they don't want to take phone orders anymore. read more

Very good, pricing is a little wild but reasonable considering location, service is impeccable, very accommodating, adorable interior.

On an extremely busy Saturday lunch hour, the staff was working their b*tts off! And the food was delicious. Friendly, efficient, and helpful crew serving up delicious coffee and sandwiches. What more is there to say? read more

Good service and friendly staff! Great food, came out quickly. Good location right off the green line.

Recommended by an alumna friend from Tufts. Friendly and casual ambience. Service was quick. Smashing avo toasts w/cappuccino and iced chai latte were awesome for our brunch for the day. read more

Came here for breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Reasonable priced compared to some of the other breakfast spots in this area. Food and coffee were good, and they got us in and out fast. Seems like it could get busy, so plan ahead. There are some tables, very cute and clean. read more

Possibly the worst breakfast sandwich I've had in Boston. I paid $2 for avocado and all I get is like the tiniest smear of avocado spread. I basically got no avocado. read more

Ventured to Tasty Cafe during a recent snowy Sunday for a quiet meal after shoveling and was impressed by the food and lattes! We ordered a cappuccino and a chai latte which both came out in nice big mugs and were the perfect temperature to enjoy right away. We also shared the nova lox bagel and the Nutella waffle for the ideal combo of a sweet and savory breakfast. We'll definitely be going back! read more

OMG !! Love this place it is so welcoming and the food is EXCELLENT! Very busy, it was a well oiled machine ! Very pleasing to eye everything was clean and bright! While enjoying my food it was evident that the food was of great ingredients and prepared very fresh. You have a customer for a long time !! Thank You :) read more

Came here once during the school year on a weekend and the line was out the door! Came back in the summer and there was no line. The sandwiches were delicious. Order at the counter, they give you a number for your table, then you seat yourself and they bring you your food read more

My worst experience ordering online food ever. I ordered steak median rare and some fruits on the side. Turn out when I received the food 1) the steak was obviously over-cooked 2) THERE ARE FLIES IN THE FRUITS. No kidding. I found out after I ate one piece of the watermelon and the fly was just struggling to move around underneath the piece of watermelon I ate. DISGUSTING! I called the restaurant and the guy who picked up the phone was very irresponsible. His explanation was: I didn't see any fly when I was cutting it. Ruined my whole day. I hope I didn't eat any of the flies by accident. read more

i have been going to Tasty Cafe & Kitchen for a few months now and even though I might have an issue with food preparers not always or ever wearing nitrile gloves when cutting fruit they are ALWAYS friendly, QUICK with service, in my case NEVER wrong with order and NEVER rude or impolite in ANY way. yes sometimes it is chaotic inside the seating area but that's because everybody in the area is going there to eat or pick-up. inside it is ALWAYS clean. overall: food? great! service? excellent! cleanliness? spotless! will I return? EVERY weekend morning, and if I have a day off from work I hit it then too. read more

Gluten-free bread is amazing! Gluten-free bread can be hit or miss sometimes but theirs was great. I recommend the Green Vegan sandwich, super yummy! The coffees and matcha are great too. Several non-dairy beverage alternatives (soy, oat). The only challenge is it gets super busy here on weekends! Might have to wait for a table but other than that super cozy tasty place! read more

I was told, "if you want good service, go to Dunkin." Waited 45 minutes for a BEC and smoothie, that cost $17 - and was awful. Last time I try to support a small business, and recommend you all do the same. #BigBankTakeLittleBank read more

I was excited to try this place, since it's near the Tufts campus. While the newly revamped interior is appealing, the food is certainly not. I ordered a breakfast burrito and the Nutella French toast. The breakfast burrito was, and I'm not exaggerating, the worst breakfast burrito I've ever tasted. The portion size was extremely small for the price, and the inside of the burrito tasted and felt like sour cream and mush. The Nutella French toast was simply brioche and Nutella with some fruits, which tasted fine but was a little too simple in my opinion. Again, I want this place to be good and it's probably still worthy of a stop to do some work in, but do not waste any money on the food. read more

The best smoothies in all of Boston. Croissants and pastries in general are also really good and worth coming for, but the smoothies are just out of this world. read more

A huge omelette, blueberry muffin, coffee, and bacon are just what you need on a hungover (or just hungry) morning, and Tasty Cafe always delivers. I love this spot for a cheap, quick, filling breakfasts. They have a wide array of options, from health smoothies to s'mores pancakes. The staff is always so friendly, and I love seeing the regulars come in day after day--that is how you know a place is loved. The interior is a little bit unique, the walls are covered with blown up photographs of the food and of Boston, which comes off as a little tacky, but don't let that fool you. The place is friendly and cozy in it's own way. They do takeout and deliver, for those days that you can't face the world but need someone to make you breakfast. I recommend checking it out if you are in the area looking for a satisfying breakfast at a good price. read more

Ordered delivery from here today as I have in the past and I have to say the Eggs Benedict didn't wow me-- I would give it 3 to 3-1/2 stars. $12 is a lot to me for an entree that's not-- as the restaurant name would imply-- tasty. Since I didn't check out this place in person or eat anything else, I give Tasty Cafe 3 stars: not somewhere I would steer clear of but not my fave. read more

Tamper was closing so I figured I might as well try this place for lunch. My first red flag should have been that some of the employees were straight up not wearing masks, but I was hungry and kind of curious to try a new place. I got the green and vegan sandwich on an everything bagel to go. I saw later that the cook wasn't wearing a mask either, but that was after I had already paid and was waiting for my food. In my opinion, $9.50 is way overpriced, especially for the quality I got. Because it was hot when they put it in the cardboard box, the steam made the bagel soggy (and it didn't taste like a good bagel to begin with). It was also absolutely flavorless--adding sriracha made it better, but I was tempted to just throw it out. I had high hopes because Tasty looked promising when I peeked in the other day and looked at the menu, but it did not live up to expectations. read more

Walked passed the restaurant and the Nuttela french toast looked yummy. The online menu indicated it came with maple syrup. When picking up the order, get the regular syrup instead with the excuse from the cashier that the website did not update yet. The price is not cheap and the food is average but false advertising, will not visit this restaurant again read more

I've had a bunch of stuff from the revamped restaurant. All of it excellent: smoothies, coffee, sandwiches, burritos, burger... some nice outdoor seating. I wish there were a few more options for picky kids. Clearly, the target customer is a young college student but there are so many young parents in Hillside, too. read more
