Ball Square Cafe

“Fresh ingredients, a good kitchen, attentive staff: it's busy weekends.”

William Goldman★★★★

One of the most consistent breakfast/brunch spots in the Somerville area! Ball Square Cafe has a large breakfast menu which is perfect for the indecisive eater. Their eggs, pancakes, French toast, and omelets are all very good. The waiting staff is also very nice and friendly but it sometimes takes a little bit for food to arrive since they get quite busy. It mostly gets crowded in the mornings especially on weekends, so be ready to wait for a table. If you arrive before your party they will not let you sit, so make sure that if you are with a group, you all enter together.

The food was excellent. The French toast was easily one of the best I’ve had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The buttermilk pancakes were fluffy and buttery, and the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs was outstanding. The reason for four stars instead of five is the service. It was inattentive and at times rude. I had to ask three times for cream for my coffee and waited about 10 minutes, by then the coffee was warm instead of hot. It was never refilled either, which defeats the purpose of advertising bottomless coffee. We also had to grab syrup and butter from another table after req

This is one of my favorite breakfast meals that I've ever had! I ordered the eggs with hash Benedict and a choccy chip pancake. The service was great and I plan on coming back!

Really good service!!! No wait, both times I've been, however, I've seen people waiting outside for a table. Yummy food! The Moroccan eggs were fantastic! The omelets are good, so are the eggs and steak tips!! Went back another time! My partner had the Moroccan eggs, I had a bacon/mushroom omelet and we shared the raspberry French toast with vanilla cream!! So delicious!! Great service!!
