    While in Boston we were looking for a good place for breakfast while exploring the area. We stopped in at the Paramount. We were greeted by a friendly face and seated immediately even though they were busy. I ordered the breakfast plate with 2 eggs, home fries, turkey bacon, and toast. The food was fresh and hot. They have an open kitchen and the staff were on point. The kitchen staff were sending out plates as fast as I've ever seen especially for an open kitchen. Even though I wasn't asked what kind of toast I wanted, and the grain bread I received wouldn't have been my first choice it was delicious. My only regret was not ordering the S'mores pancakes as well. I was super full but those pancakes sounded phenomenal. Would definitely stop in here again for breakfast if I'm ever back in Boston.

    Good food. Didn't quite like the price on the mimosa pitcher seeing as it was sub par but other than that ambience was nice, good part of the city.

    Came in for some Brunch & let me start off by saying that this place is narrow. But there is seating outside in case you don't like narrow places. The food was great. I ordered a moscato and caramel and banana French toast. That indeed delicious, the host was very helpful and the food was delivered in a timely manner. This place was clean and well organized, I'll definitely make this place my stop next time I'm in Boston. Go Redsox.

    I was craving pancakes and they delivered with a substantial stack of three large pancakes - honestly my friend and I probably should've shared it was so much food. I went with the s'mores option and my friend had the blueberry and she definitely made the better choice. The "smores" just had mini marshmallows (not melted), banana, and graham crackers - no chocolate! The yellowish sauce you see in the pics is apparently "chocolate Boston cream sauce" but it didn't taste like chocolate at all and wasn't very appetizing looking. The overall effect very dry. I wound up scraping off the "toppings" and just going with some reliable maple syrup. Service was great though and I liked the ambiance so I'd go back, just not for the s'mores pancakes.

    Very cute neighborhood to grab breakfast/lunch, take a walk, and shop. It was a nice morning so we sat in the patio (big mistake). Food was decent and service was quick. The only issue we had were the yellow jacket bees/wasps that kept flying around us. We noticed the table next to us was dealing with the same issue. (We visited at the end of August). We ended up packing our food to go and eating it at the park nearby. Unfortunate but also didn't mind finishing our breakfast in the park.

    Traditional Bolognese

    We had been to the Paramount, for breakfast, and I fell in love with a French toast. So, we assumed the dinner food would be just as memorable... WRONG. I've never met a Bolognese I didn't like... Until now. Somehow, they managed to make a classic pasta dish, with rich, red meat, tangy tomato sauce, and salty cheese... Flavorless. I honestly thought I may have contracted Covid and lost my taste buds. So, I had my partner taste it too... Same response. All I can guess is that they made it with only ground beef, which is not what was advertised on the menu. The chef used almost no tomato sauce. Instead, they relied on heavy cream, which had very little flavor. Even the pasta was mushy and overcooked... so disappointing. The teriyaki stirfry was advertised as including carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and peppers. We asked them to hold the peppers and assumed they would include extra vegetables or replace them with something else. Instead, they took away the peppers... And the carrots... Leaving us very little vegetables at all. THE DEAL: the Paramount is the place to be for brunch... but I would skip it for dinner!

    Paramount Breakfast

    Came here on Sunday around 12:30pm and the line was out the door, but only waited about 20 minutes. The inside is very cozy. I sat right by the cooking section, so it was so cute watching everything being cooked. My friend and I loved the French toast and paramount breakfast. Will come again!

    Burger with onion rings on top and Cole slaw
    Linda G.

    The waiter was great, perhaps he was the manager for owner. For food we really wanted a light bite. I got one taco and hubby got a burger with coleslaw. When you sit down, they immediately bring over in housemade tortilla chips. So yummy and fresh. It comes with a very smooth Salsa type of sauce. Very nice touch since we were hungry. A nice menu, it is pricey, but given the location we expected that. We chose to eat inside, but there were are some nice tables outside. If you don't mind people walking by and seeing what you're eating.

    This place was great! We were from out of town and this is where we went to breakfast with family. The service was absolutely phenomenal from the top down. We had the huevos rancheros and the burrata caprese sunrise toast. Mine was the clear winner and was absolutely fantastic! As a side note: these may have been the best breakfast potatoes I have ever had. Crispy, well seasoned, tasty! There's a lot of tables outside and some inside. We sat outside. Can't comment on parking as we walked there. Please note we got there early and it was starting to get busy but by the time we were done there was a HUGE line. Will absolutely return when we are back in town.

    After seeing so many amazing reviews, I was disappointed in my experience here. Wasn't terrible, wasn't amazing. Staff was great I have to say, but the food was kinda just that. Nothing that stood out, we tried 4 different breakfast items. The potatoes were very over cooked, not a huge amount of flavor. Definitely a small town, cute cafe vibe. Worth a try. Maybe just an off day, or we didn't happen to order the things everyone loves.

    Rose Bellini and Agave Mango Peach Spritz
    Sydney M.

    My friend and I had lunch together on Friday afternoon at the Paramount and we loved it! We sat outside and liked how the umbrellas provided a lot of shade. It is a little cramped (both inside and outside) so keep this in mind if you like a lot of room. I tried the Rose Bellini and my friend had the Agave Mango Peach Spritz. We both really enjoyed our drinks - the flavor combinations were delicious and perfect for a summer lunch. To eat, I had the Paramount Burger without onion rings and I added avocado. I ordered it medium and it came exactly as I'd asked. This burger was absolutely wonderful. Juicy, flavorful, tons of avocado, and crispy bacon. I was so pleased. My friend ordered the Burrata Caprese Sunrise Toast and she was equally happy. It looked divine and she cleared the plate. The service was great and the prices are pretty standard for Boston. It's a fun spot to grab a bite if you're around the Boston Commons. We also had no issue finding parking right on the street. We'll certainly be returning!

    Caramel & Banana French Toast
    Kimberly B.

    It's a nice spot to have a relaxed lunch and everything on the plate felt so fresh. Also, best caramel banana French toast I've ever had

    Scampi as is on the menu.

    Had the shrimp scampi, just as it comes, & it was fabulous. Definitely, above expectations, but I'm u sure what I was expecting. The shrimp were plump, cooked perfectly, & came in abundance. The seasonings were spot on. I wish Florida had seafood like Boston. We came before a mad dinner rush & after the breakfast/lunch rushes, & almost had the place to ourselves. Quaint, very warm (yes, it was cold out, but I had to stand in the doorway for a few minutes), & the service was wonderful. Very attentive, but not overbearing. My son cleared his plate. Thank you for a beautiful evening.

She was so excited when she found Cafe Bonjour because they had several gluten-free options on the menu. We took an Uber there right after we landed and were able to walk right in and get a table when they opened, which worked out perfectly because the place started to fill up! It's a cute little spot with plenty of seating inside, and they also had a nice outdoor parklet that would be great in good weather. We asked to sit at the bar so we could watch the cooks in action, which was really fun. The menu had all the classic breakfast favorites like eggs and French toast, along with some lunch options like hamburgers and chicken wraps. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the gluten-free eggs benedict and absolutely loved it. I had the Bonjour omelet, and it was delicious. Overall, this is a fantastic breakfast spot with great food, a fun atmosphere, and solid gluten-free options.

Waiter didn't bring out water, didn't offer any cream or sugar for coffees, and was difficult to flag down to ask for extra plates/utensils. The inside is quite cramped and we were shoved into a tiny little corner. Overall a meh place for brunch. The appeal is the convenience of the location. Other than that I'd stop somewhere else for a brunch.

    Prior to visiting Boston, I did my research on things to do and places to eat. Every search for…read morebreakfast spots mentioned Mike & Patty's as a must stop for the best breakfast sandwich you're going to get anywhere. Enough said! I'm a huge breakfast fanatic, especially a good breakfast sandwich or burrito. This is the original location that was started by two friends and has grown to multiple other locations since. We took an Uber here from our hotel. I imagine if you drive over here, parking will be a challenge. It's almost easy to miss. It sits on a corner of a brick building with just writing on the windows. In all my research I did not catch that it is the smallest restaurant in Boston at only 175 square feet. It's basically a room with most of the space taken by the tiny kitchen. There's also a little tiny ledge on the window with a couple of stools for those who may want to dine in. Customers including us took turns walking in and putting in our orders and then stepping out to make room for more people. It had a steady line the whole time we were there. Hours are limited from 7:30-2 so don't delay. Customer service was straight business, kind of the norm in Boston. Their menu is breakfast sandwiches, a couple of burritos and some lunch options like a turkey sandwich, BLT, or a Rueben. For sides, they have hashbrowns or a plain English muffin. For a small menu, they do have quite a few drink options like coffee, tea, juices, and different flavored milks including banana milk which I have never seen. For their food, they use high quality ingredients from local farms and purveyors and have their own bakery for their bread. My eyes fixated on the Breakfast Grilled Crack mainly for the name, but also all the ingredients looked tasty. It was quality eggs, bacon, four cheeses on sourdough bread. I went extra and added sausage to it as well. I also got OJ to wash it down. We realized our only option to eat comfortably was to go back to our hotel lobby to eat. Even with the travel time, the sandwich was nice and warm and the bread was still nice and crispy from the griddle. This sandwich was indeed one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I almost felt guilty eating it because of how rich and cheesy it was. I would skip the hash brown next time. It did not travel well nor did it have anything special going on with it. Hands down one of my favorite meals of the trip that I would absolutely do again if I am in the area.

    Sometimes I want to keep Mike & Patty's as my little secret, but it's too good not to share…read more This tiny hole-in-the-wall serves some of the best breakfast sandwiches in Boston, with quick and genuinely friendly service every time. Sandwiches with an egg = breakfast right? My go-to is The Fancy: Vital Farms pasture-raised fried eggs, bacon, cheddar, smashed avocado, red onions, and house mayo on toasted Flourhouse multigrain. The ingredients are always fresh, and every bite is packed with flavor. Mmm Mmm Good! Ps...I eat it so fast every time I forget to take pics -- I just get too excited for it :)
