    Can sit anywhere type of place. The menu is pretty diverse. Nice breakfast options. Lattes. Cocktails. Sandwiches. Steak. Any comfort food really. I tried the steak and beef empanada. It tastes like it’s mixed with potato as well. The sauce was the best part. It was spicy in a good way. Empanadas were mid. Then I had fish and chips for the first time. Haddock. It was very flaky. And again the sauce it came with was amazing. The sides were mid. Coleslaw and fries. Okay. The vanilla almond milk latte was good after adding honey as well. Pretty enjoyable. Cute exposed brick wall with flowers at the table. Very cutesy Boston vibe! No desserts for a dairy free option. ):

    On a clear, sunny day, after visiting the Isabella Museum, I thought I'd find a brunch spot nearby.

    Shakshuka: The portions were huge, still bubbling hot when it arrived; the meatballs were firm, slightly coarse, and very satisfying; the runny egg was delicate and tempting; the bread had a slightly crispy crust from being pan-fried, while the inside was incredibly soft and delicate, like a cake, perfect for dipping in the sauce. Everything was perfect, except… it was incredibly sour, almost pungent. The sauce was just pure canned tomato flavor, and the pickled peppers were also extremely sour, with a hint of spiciness that made the flavor even more intense. I guess I just couldn't get used to it, as a Chinese; but I'll respect this seasoning, as it's very common in the West. After taking it home, I reheated it with sugar, black pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese, and mixed with pasta—it instantly felt much smoother and more delicious!

    The restaurant's decor was simple and rustic, with natural-colored wooden tables that looked gentle and warm in the sunlight. I really liked it.

    I travel a lot . Internationally and in the states . This is the best place travelers I’ve ever been to. From walking in to sitting down eating it took all of 8-12 mins maximum . This place embodies the meaning of culinary arts. I sat at the bar style section where you can watch the cooks in the kitchen live. Even with a rush at brunch time they danced around the kitchen and perfectly made every order with extreme professionalism. This is not Ai writing this either these are my true words lol 10/10 will be coming here every time I’m in the Boston area

    The buttermilk fried chicken, steak, and Dutch baby were all really delicious! !!Unfortunately, the yogurt bowl was pretty underwhelming and didn’t have much yogurt in it.
    The restaurant itself is quite noisy, with tables placed very close together and on the smaller side. On weekends, be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes for brunch.

    Milkweed is a small American cafe offering an eclectic spread of dishes. Patrons frequent the establishment for onsite dining and takeout. Their service is friendly and attentive.

    The warm interior is brightly lit in the morning sun with wooden floors, and wooden tables. There is a nice kitchen in the back with fresh loaves of bread stacked on each other.

    The seasonal pumpkin spice latte topped with cream and a syrup drizzle was a favorite at our table.

    The generous portion of oatmeal was covered with a healthy serving of toasted coconut and fresh strawberries and blueberries.

    The vegetarian egg white scramble was tasty with kale, broccoli rabe, pesto, other veggies, and two slices of warm bread.

    Overall, a pleasant breakfast establishment for a quiet morning alone or with a small group of family/friends.
