There's been concern that scientists would accidentally open a portal to a time machine. This is that portal. Welcome to 1556! Prepare to make love to your great great great great great grandparent!

Corner bakery and sandwich shop that has irresistible delicacies and service with a smile. Veggie options , artisan coffee , and cupcakes to die for- a must while in South End.

Ingrid Wong

Thick, delicious breakfast toasts. Avocado #2 has a nice spicy kick from the chili flakes . The seasonal spiced apple preserve + ricotta was DELICIOUS. Matcha latte is strong but a tad watery.

Nicholas

Good for coffee and light fare on the small outdoor patio . Serving light and dark roast coffee , espresso , a modest selection of muffins and pastries , and a couple quiches . Nice restroom too!

A must on weekends for brunch !! Their food is so good, the eggs Benedict , French toast and pancakes are so good!!

BU Today

The restaurant is committed to using organic , all natural, locally raised & grown ingredients whenever possible. You can’t go wrong with a chocolate-dipped macaroon or a strawberries & cream cupcake . Read more

Emily Walton

Pricey but tasty. Winners: hummus sandwich , breakfast sandwich (the biscuits are A+), kale salad w/ grapefruit vinaigrette . Sweets are just ok, but try the PB cookie - it's got Reese's Pieces in it.

Gianna Nebbia

Totally lives up to the hype. The market attached has some of the best looking salads and sides! If you go hungry you'll buy everything

Sarah SG.

Best breakfast spot I’ve tried in Boston so far! Breakfast sandwich and Ricotta Fritters were so good.

Po Yan Chan

i had my first cup of cappucino two years ago from south end buttery and loved it! so today i decided to stop by and grab another one along with the buttery vegetarian sandwich !! tastes sooo good!

Faris Altorki

They have an amazing Avocdo toasts????????

Dion Barela

A cute place in a cute , off the beaten path neighborhood . Try the Buttery Breakfast with chocolate & bananas . So delicious!

Gary Furst

Best neighborhood place for morning coffee and people watching . Grab an outside table if the weather is good

Trevor Suarez

The coffee is SO good. Decent selection of muffins and the like also. Oh, and there's a market next-door. ☺

Jeffrey Currier

Had wonderful service from Joanna, a delicious veggie burger and fries and a perfect time, until some rude woman and her stroller decided to push a chair in between my table and exit. Rude twat.

J

Most delicious brunch & a nice bakery attached to the restaurant . Line can be long on the weekends.

Fido Loves

Owned by dog people and frequented by people with dogs. Look for the neat little hook for leashes just to the left of the door as you walk in. I love the turkey club ....

Fred Yates

I always want to try something different but end up getting the meatloaf sandwich every time. You won't regret it.

Oz Lubling

Best lunch and brunch in the south end and maybe in all of Boston. Definitely try the Veggie Burger and the Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich . There's always a great vibe in the place.

Zac Aghion

Shrimp and grits were great, got experimental with a lychee bellini (off menu ) which was cool.

Allie B.

The GF banana walnut muffin is amazing (I need the recipe...). Fudgy brownie-holics rejoice with their masterpiece!

Jason Kelliher

Given the reviews I thought I would be blown away by the brunch . Same menu you will find anywhere else. Nothing stands out as really unique except the wait.

Christine Varriale

Great for to-go options. They have the best cold brew iced coffee on this side of the Charles.

Marissa Breton

Great coffee and pastries ! Plus it's right around the corner from a Bridj pickup. Use code SOUTHEND10 for $10 off!

christine

a favorite neighborhood spot for a quick coffee and pastry or cozy dinner downstairs.

Kelley Curry

Don't be embarrassed if you start yelling "Yes! YES!" when you taste the salted caramel cupcake . You won't be the first person that's happened to.

Eli Perkins

Pastries , coffee , and breakfast burritos . Everything is perfectly done!

D AR

Food wise it's good. Coffee not so much.I love their parm - garlic fries . ( warning it has lots of garlic )Their baked goods are good, but too big for my liking so I share them.

Boston Phoenix

You must try the bread pudding and the beet salad with Yorkshire puddings , but try not to miss the grandmother-esque braised veal , penne Bolognese , or steak with potatoes and watercress . Read more

Kathy Palmer

their drip coffee is so good you don't need to order espresso..I'm a decaf drinker and it's the best I think I've ever had, rich and smooth & heavy-bodied :)

Ingrid Wong

When the weather is nice, opt to sit outside at their little streetside tables (2 persons/table)

BU Today

Some favorites from our review: grilled cheese and tomato , the meatloaf sandwich , and for dessert the lemon raspberry rose cupcakes . Read more

Get a coffee and a cupcake (or sandwich -- ham & cheese or chicken curry ) and sit outside. Lots of good puppy watching. =)

Valentina Tamayo

Nice place to have breakfast/brunch. A little too hot for this summer days but good overall.

Justin J.

Early mornings on the weekends is the best time to get here. Long waits during the day. Otherwise great food for lunch and dinner . Dessert ? Try the cupcake ice cream . Yum!

Joseph Joyner

Get a table in the back to avoid the constant draft on cold days.... Then order a cortado .

Neil Hirsch

Had to wait a while. But totally worth it. They take care of their guests.

Ecem

When it's crowded forget your orders.. it's gonna take 20 min to get a coffee ..!

Bashayer

Jeez! That choc dipped macaroon is TO DIE FOR. But they don't know how to make cortados :( she made me a short latte instead

Jon M

Avocado toast is expensive for one slice but gooooood. Can’t beat the neighborhood .

Alan Fletcher

Great counter service for a quick fix. Was swim homemade biscuits . Super clean
