★ 2Came here for breakfast and waited for service while the workers spent quite a while looking at their friend’s phone. When we were finally asked for our order, the waiter didn’t listen carefully and got it wrong.
I don’t know how this cafe has better reviews than some other places. The food was just okay at best, and some of it was worse in both quality and taste. The menu is very limited. Maybe this type of food simply isn’t to our taste, but this breakfast for two was not worth the $40+ we paid for such a disappointment. -

★ 5Weekend is the kind of breakfast spot that instantly puts you in a good mood—and then backs it up with seriously good food.
The menu is a thoughtful, creative mix of classic American diner comfort and other ethnic-inspired specialties. It’s broad and varied without being overwhelming, and every dish feels intentional. You’ll find standout items like shakshuka, soufflé pancakes, a hash brown breakfast sandwich, egg-in-a-hole, and unique drinks like a matcha einspänner that you don’t see everywhere.
The food itself is absolutely delicious—diner-style at heart, but elevated with flavor, texture, and creativity. Everything is cooked in an open kitchen right in front of you, which adds to the experience and the sense of care behind each plate.
Service deserves its own shoutout. It’s fast, attentive, and genuinely warm. The staff clearly works as a team—waiters are friendly, efficient, and tuned in without hovering. You feel welcomed, not rushed.
Weekend nails what so many breakfast places aim for but miss: great vibes, unique food, and a relaxed, happy energy that makes you want to linger. Whether you’re craving comfort, something a little different, or just a really good start to your day—this place delivers.
Because honestly? After eating here, you’ll agree: every day should be a weekend. ☕🥞✨ -

★ 5This place is worth every penny (and trust me, the menu prices are among the cheapest I’ve found in Boston so far). We had the Beef Cheesesteak panini and omelette, a salad with smoke salmon, and the very berry mascarpone frenchtoast. Everything was absolutely delicious and came out HOT.
My chai latte with a shot of espresso was so yummy. Only complaint was that the coffees could’ve been a lot hotter but other than that, stellar experience.
Also, you will leave here smelling like the kitchen because it’s out in the open. If you’re averse to strong smells/prone to migraines, I’d be wary coming here.

★ 5Truly a sweet experience for our first time, management was on it, staff was hustling, food was hot and prices were great. Weekend latte only comes iced but was worth it! Croffle was great to share and the omlette was almost too cheesy. I got extra crispy home fries and regret it because it was overly crispy. That was on me, but my friend got them as is and they were perfect. Very affordable and tasty eggs Benedict, really liked the side salad that came with it. The space is really nice and it was very busy on Friday morning which was impressive. Will be coming back!

★ 5What a great place! Clean as a whistle, wonderful atmosphere with great natural lighting and large open ceiling space. Menu was extensive including all day breakfast. I ordered a coffee but seeing the “sick tea mix” with lemon and honey I got that as well. I wasn’t sick but the tea was sweet heaven. I had the traditional French toast with scrambled eggs and beef (delicious bacon ). The menu describes fresh fruit and whipped cream but the plated dish was beautiful, the fruit (really fresh) included blueberries, strawberries, mango, kiwi, bananas,ba cherry on top of the dollop of fresh whipped cream next to French toast. My son had an omelet and the seasoned potatoes that came with were super tasty. Noru, our server was really nice. A gentleman checked in with us a few minutes after our meals came. He was smiling, friendly and clearly cared about the restaurant and customers. His name was Modu and he turned out to be the manager. He obviously liked and took great pride in that role. Try it, you will like it.
