Located along the main drag in Somerville, as locals only a spot as one is likely to find in a metropolitan area the size of Boston, Ball Square Caf was *the* surprise of a trip that saw forty-four stops throughout New England over the course of eight days, both as a result of the food and the service.Quite literally a place where everybody knows your name, a Friday at 8:15 finding the spot slammed with locals and soon to generate a short queue, Ball Square Caf has gained acclaim over recent years for offering a menu of signatures as well as specials that far outperform the typical caf or diner while the serve yourself Coffee features no less than five flavors to go along with at least twice as many types of tea.Easily spotted as out of towners, the lack of a New England accent probably enough in this sort of place, it was with the assistance of a young man who grew up locally that decisions were made from a menu that offers no lack of variety, cooks in the semi-open kitchen no doubt underpaid given the tight quarters in which they operate with both skill and speed.Told that housemade Scones are the best by an elderly man near the door, a Blueberry version joined by a griddled Corn Muffin showing no sign that the fellow was false as both outperformed anything similar tasted in downtown Boston or Cambridge, those fancying flavored coffee are encouraged to explore French Vanilla or Hazelnut that are each well flavored without being overwhelming, the standard brew a good medium roast of which free refills are sure to leave patrons buzzing.Going all sweet on the menu, a small plate of late arriving bacon requested almost as a necessity to clear the palate, those interested in a true signature are encouraged to enjoy the Coconut Macaroon French Toast that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Italian Meringue Cookie, the Sugar Tossed Brioche lightly fried with Raspberry filling and Whipped Cream an equally diligent reminder of a classic Jelly Donut while the Dark Chocolate Pancakes are a truly over-the-top indulgence. endoedibles.com
Great place! Bring your appetite, HUGE portions! First time eating here. We arrived just in time before the rush came. Place was packed as we were leaving. Really enjoyed the self serve coffee bar and juice bar. Plenty of meals and dishes to pick from. Enjoyed the waitress and explaining how to maximize our first experience. Two screens showed the specials for the day. I picked the Coconut macaroon French toast. This will be the only place I get French toast from now. My wife got the Mexican omelette. Had a couple bits of her meal. Thinking of our meal as I write this review is making my mouth water. Enjoy!
Great Food. I had the lox sandwich. Had to say it was amazing! 🙂
Kudos to a family owned business. We’re from the Midwest and made a choice to begin our day with Mike and crew at Ball Square Cafe. This guy made me wish I could begin every day this way!We were a party of 10 and he got creative and set us up in the Deli side. The service was flawless as was the food.Have your breakfast here!
The host, the quality ingredients and FRESH fruit are all worth the trip to this fabulous breakfast destination!!
Speed, volume & price. What makes a good diner? It certainly doesnt need lots of seating, but the service must be fast enough to turn over tables in an efficient manner. This is what youll find at Ball Square Caf, so when you are looking for a quick and filling breakfast or lunch, stop on by. – – The breakfast options certainly were appealing, but arriving around noon during the week, I decided to go for the caf sandwich (portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, fresh basil and mozzarella cheese) for just under $9. We were seated promptly, allowed to get our own coffee and water and had our food in not time. – – Having spent time in the south, I was impressed with the house-made sweet potato fries and my dining partner enjoyed a breakfast sandwich and a large bowl of fresh fruit. Simple, filling and fast. I can see why this place would be a staple for locals.
The friendly owner greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our time there. The crab eggs Benny was awesome. The stuffed French toast and omelettes fantastic as well. Definitely will be going again
