I’d already been here for sandwiches and their great, made-on-the-spot sodas, but this fall they started including a breakfast/brunch menu and so I had to return. Seriously, this is the list of their standard sodas: blue-raspberry, raspberry-lime, lemon-lime, strawberry, strawberry-basil, and blackberry-mint. When I went for brunch, their seasonal option was maple. They had already earned a gold star with their drinks.
Red Sox French Toast
They have a good range of sweet and savory, and some very tasty twists on brunchy standards. They’re all Boston or Arlington themed as is so common here, but regardless they are good. The above contains apple, berry, cream cheese, and crumb topping. Also, all french toast comes with real syrup, and both the toasts and the pancakes can be made gluten free.
A scramble, a.k.a. egg-containing pile of food
Many of their dishes have a slight Mediterranean take on things due to the origins of the family who owns the place. I think they do a good job of making this work.
This lured me away from french toast. So worth it.
At other times they just go crazy with their variations on breakfast themes (this is an eggs Benedict variant) and those are super tasty as well. Those who prefer old standards will not be as happy here as those who want to branch out, but there are still options for the classic brunchers here and there.
It’s a little small so it fills up fast, but they do have a clip board so you can get in line on there instead of in person. During the summer they double their seating with some lovely tables outside that also get service.
