We got there and the line was long. However, the wait was not bad at all.
The eggs benefits were made to perfection. Runny yolk, excellent hollandaise sauce. I replaced the Canadian bacon with regular bacon and loved it!!!
The French toasts were not overly sweet and the fruit was fresh.
I will be coming back here!

My experience at Ball Square Cafe in Somerville was a mix of highs and lows. On the positive side, the breakfast menu boasts a great combination of flavors in various dishes. The creativity in their menu items truly stood out, and the food itself was delicious.
However, the service was a bit lacking. There was no follow-up to check if our orders were accurate, which was a disappointment. It's the attention to detail in service that truly elevates an experience. Additionally, the concept of self-serving water and drinks seemed a bit unusual, making the overall service experience less personalized.
Despite the service hiccups, the quality of the breakfast options makes Ball Square Cafe a worthwhile visit for the food alone. If they can improve on the service aspect, it has the potential to be an even more enjoyable dining spot.

Underwhelming to say the very least. Unfortunately, my husband and I were not a fan of the food, and found it to be tasteless. Perhaps, more seasoning when preparing the food, because all the salt and pepper, butter, syrup, and ketchup wouldn't make a difference.

Ball square cafe has been on my list to visit ever since I moved to the area over a year ago. I was very intrigued by the establishment’s origin story and encourage folks too look it up!
I visited on a Friday morning at about 10am and was able to sit down right away. The food came out pretty face. I ordered the mushroom omelette and my partner ordered the apple French toast. The food was 10/10.
The atmosphere is very nice, like a warm family place. I wish the tables weren’t so close to each other but that’s not a big deal.

Met the owner a few days before and he told us about his café. What he failed to tell us is that he was running on of the most incredible brunch establishments in Massachusetts! Everything was incredible fresh and the menu selections truly leave nothing to be desired. I highly recommend you stop by for your next brunch outing!

Absolutely outstanding!! Can't wait to go back. The owner was there and he even took some time to speak with us. We had a large group and despite that our food was timely and very good. Our waiter was awesome and we tipped him with awesomeness as well. Will definitely be a must stop anytime we are close by.
