    Coffee, eggs, pancakes, bagels, muffins, gifts and books! What more can anyone want? First time eating here and made reservations on OpenTable. There was really no need at 8am on a Sunday. Arrived a little past 8 and there was no one at the host stand. There was a sign indicating to seat yourself and use Toast to order from your table. No problem, we can work with this. I did see a waitperson a little later. After we ordered the coffee and food came quickly, The eggs Benedict was delicious. The bagel breakfast sandwich was really tasty too. The home fries could be crispier. My favorite was the mega tots; cheesy, deep fried, super crispy not at all greasy. Yum! Everything was so good we forgot to take pictures.

    Our server was absolutely wonderful! The food top notch as before. The only thing was that it felt as though the restaurant was a little short staffed.

    The sausage and pepperoni pizza is the best that we had had in Boston - with real crumbled Italian sausage (not the sliced stuff that tastes like salami) and a fabuloius crust
