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

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.

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

Butter is collateral (and arterial) damage. -- Snappy Pattys: Thin patties of beef get griddled and placed between slices of bread no thicker than your finger and no wider than a KFC biscuit. You'll taste the condiment configuration of choice (I like the Texan for its zippy bacon-laced melted cheese), but you'll taste butter first and foremost, which can be daunting. The surfaces of the bread don't get much browning and the beef was less beefy and less seasoned than I remember from a few years back. Although these never blow me away, they're a nice little novelty that's always worth a taste. -- Patty Melt: The full size format offers a third of a pound of beef (looked thicker) between larger slices of the same type of bread. Not much outer texture or browning, but the interior was moist. Minimal beef flavor, with butter again on overdrive-- much too much of it-- but this time mitigated by the complementary flavors (according to the menu, roasted chili & bacon sauce, tomato, iceberg, blue cheese & avocado aioli). Still enjoyable, though the lack of browning (on bread and beef) and the veering of the ingredients from traditional (no caramelized onion, no rye) kept it from scratching that patty melt itch. Nice place, and I've enjoyed previous visits. And the fried chicken as well as the namesake mini melts. But the quest for the elusive killer patty melt continues.

We had an unexpected trip to the area that morning to visit a local store…read more When we were done, we noticed it was just about lunch time and decided to find a place to eat. There were many options to choose from but we do like to try places that are not always traditional. Hoping for a local favorite. Right on the corner, it is easy to find and with street parking easy to get to and enjoy a good meal and probably a late night gathering with friends. Rustic looking, it definitely put off the vibe of the local establishment for Arlington. We were the first customers that early afternoon. They were literally unlocking the doors when we arrived. The menu offered enough options to satisfy our dietary and personal preferences. Meats, chicken, fish and veggie options. You can find something. Staff was very friendly and attentive, but we were the only guest that early in the day. The crowd did pick up as we ate our meal. Large windows allowed you to sit and people watch on, what I would imagine is the Main Street for the town. It was Sunday so a little quiet so not a lot people watching today. Food was great and the presentation was a lot more than expected for a tavern. Full bar options and a good list of local craft beers. I love trying local beers when possible. A lot of space for seating during the day and I can only imagine the evening bar scene. Based on the number of people who did walk in while we were there to recover their credit card from the night before. Sounds weird but it totally gave off the local vibe. Love it. Very clean and tidy for a Tavern. Respectful place. Plenty of TVs to watch your favorite game so I enjoyed a chance to see one of the Sweet 16 games that day. So, if you are in town, give Town Tavern a visit.

I met some colleagues from Harvard University and we went to Town Tavern…read more We were greeted nicely, had a corner table and then had a wonderful meal with appetizers, entrees, coffee and desert. Atmosphere was pleasant as we intermittently watched a football game on the monitor. I highly recommend this restaurant.

First time visiting for brunch and cannot wait to go back. The feta veg omelette special was…read moredelicious - the omelette loaded with veggies and feta cheese, came with a side of beans and rice, and tasty potato hash. Ask for the hot sauce, it's tasty! The meal came with either cream wheat or fruit. Tried cream wheat for the first time and it was sooo good. Warm, cozy, sweet and salty. Entrees came with a bread basket of homemade buttered bread which was delicious too. Service was excellent. Patio ambience was lovely for late morning brunch. Love that they offer breakfast all day. Only complaint is the long wait - but they offer complimentary coffee and lemonade, along with bubbles for kids to stay occupied. Parking in the area can also be hard to find on the weekends. We will definitely be back!

Great food, friendly service, and a comfortable space to enjoy a meal with friends! As an island…read moreperson, having Haitian and other Caribbean flavors to enjoy was like a taste of home!

I enjoyed my dinner at Highland Kitchen!…read more This was my first stop with a friend after landing in Boston. I live for Creole food so I loved seeing Creole options on the menu. The cocktail and beer selection was also nice. Service was also super attentive to my food allergy. Solid option in Somerville.

Many years ago (I'm talking pre-pandemic), Highland Kitchen used to have the BEST fish and chips…read moreI've had this side of the Atlantic. And those are the days I miss, because the food was good across the board. Since that time, it's gone downhill quite a bit, and I don't know why. The past few times I've eaten here, my food was oversalted or overcooked, smaller portions, you name it. Recently, I was here with friends and I wasn't overly hungry, so I ordered some sides... broccolini and mac and cheese. My meal was fine, but nothing great. The waiter we had was super attentive and friendly, so no issues there. Highland is a staple in Somerville and lots of our friends love it, so we will keep coming back, but it's never my first choice for places to get dinner anymore, whereas it used to be. I miss those days!
