Their breakfast menu is AMAZING. I also like this place because they often give you a complimentary fruit bowl with your meal :) It's a nice touch.

This place is a very popular Somerville right of passage. You must wait in the long lines on weekends for a chance at eating their creative, tasty breakfasts !

Amazing Waffles & Pancakes . The egg Benedict was good, and the variation of coffee flavors on the self-service bar is something unique. 👍

Brendan Sullivan

Great omelettes and breakfast bowls . Gets very crowded on weekends, but easy to grab a table on a weekday afternoon.

Tom Wang

Besides the pancakes , everything I had here was perfection. Also has a shorter wait than ball square.

Joe Sinkevich

Delicious food, quick efficient service , big portions . Definitely spot to hit for gainz and enjoy every bite. The hash is extremely awesome.

Sofia Papastamelos

Can't decide between eggs Benedict or corned beef hash ? Get both with the corned beef hash eggs Benedict !! So good.

Daniel Wolf

Excellent brunch - not decadent, just perfect. Moroccan style egg dishes with potatoes are perfect. Great vibe also.

Kelsey McGlashan

The Ball Square Bowl is my go-to, but honestly everything is good, and the fruit bowl is high quality.

Josh Ahadian

Tiny breakfast spot with quick service . All drinks are self served (besides alcoholic ). Can feel squished during crowded times

Carrie Bevis

Waiting in line ? It will move quick, but there is no reason to wait for coffee ! Help yourself to the stocked coffee bar inside.

Ruth Burns

Good food and mimosas I think 4 kinds too. Hash browns were awful like left over mashed potatoes they tried to grill. Getting stuffed french toast next time

Will Arnone

Phenomenal pancakes and French toast . Great service and wonderful management . As good a breakfast as there is.

Marion

Get here before 9:30 on the weekend if you don't want to deal with a long line . Then order the crab cake benedict .

Good place for breakfast/brunch on weekends. Omelets and pancakes are awesome.

Julia

Cornbreef hash omelettes ....perfect! All I want for breakfast ! I was impressed more than I thought I would be.

IFC

Next-door neighbor Ball Square Café stole their chef and their menu, setting off a feud that has shaken the Somerville community. IFC is proud to stand with the original Morocan Benedict! - IFC Staff

Bonnie Rodgers

In the winter bring something to cover your legs - the blast when the door opens distracts from the awesome food!

Kate

Avocado Bene and Sound Bites House Blend or iced coffee have, for years, alleviated the ridiculousness of my day. They still do. Yasser, the owner, and the guys who work here are terrific.

Alexandra Roberts

Awesome hash browns and the best pancakes/waffles in Somerville

Sara Ordonez

Try the Eggs Benedict with Tomato and Avocado ! Really nice place to get brunch in Somerville area

Stephen Barnes

They carry Lavazza coffee and serve a solid espresso/Americano.

Keri Garel

Cholesterol be damned, I could eat Sound Bites' eggs benedict (in all its variations ) every day for the rest of my life.

David Hill

Delicious, fast, and efficient. This place is perfect case study for how to run a restaurant .

John Gauthier

Has to bring In a service dog and the folks at SBs were very accommodating. It was busy too. Great staff .

Rachael Ahern

French toast with mascarpone cheese and carmelized strawberries is to die for

Samantha Jo

cant beat the self-serve coffee bar . they've thought of everything. except for maybe the option of whipped cream .

Keri Garel

The line looks scary on weekend mornings, but I promise it moves really quickly!

Christina Del Priore

This place is known for its breakfast but the dinner is absolutely amazing. The service was great as well .

Joshua Baldwin

Excellent place for brunch and mimosas . Five stars

Self serve coffee is great. Portions are pretty big too

Brendan

Quirky breakfast spot . Pretty solid food, tastes homemade

All of the non-alcoholic drinks are self serve, located in the refrigerator opposite the bar . Grab a chocolate milk .

The grilled blueberry muffin is perfection. If you're an eggs benedict fan, try the lobster bene - delicious (plus it comes with the home fries !)

Holland D

Ole omelet all the way. Ask for a side of avocado and they almost always give you the entire thing--perfectly ripe. Service w a smile...skip ball sq cafe this is way better.

Stephen Hau

Order the malt waffles

Margaret !

Waffles with fresh fruit FTW
