Great food, not your cookie cutter breakfast place I mean they even make pancrepes! Food is always fresh and not too greasy. Homemade corned beef hash, great tea selection, and usually have specials

Skip the toast and upgrade to a grilled bagel. The applewood bacon and cheddar cheese scramble was delicious. Pancakes (lemon ricotta) are flavorful and fluffy!

I call at 1:15 to ask if they would seat us if we come by 1:35, since they close at 2pm. They say sure, no problem. We drive all the way and reach by 1:35, and the hostess says sorry we're closing.

Super awesome food. Got the crabcake eggs Benedict and it was so good. The food was super fast, but the service was a little meh. My latte was good but so much foam.

I'm always leery of getting french toast delivered because it can arrive soggy. But they did it right. Food looked and tasted great!

I can't believe that after all these years & about 400 gallons (300 days/yr @ 24 oz/day x 15 years) of Peter's java, I've been ousted as the mayor of Uncommon Grounds! THIS IS A CHALLENGE, Sarai W! .

Cinnamon Swirl French Toast... light on the maple syrup and very little if any butter was very tasty.

Try the Ruben, it's to die for. Sauerkraut is tangy, the dressing is creamy and the corned beef is super juicy.

(Best of Boston 2013-BREAKFAST) Improper Bostonian says, "If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, do it right. That means a seat at this Watertown eatery..."

EXTREMELY RUDE AND HORRIBLE SERVICE. AN ANGRY MAN STORMS OUT TO CONFRONT ME ABOUT THE SIDE OF MAYO AND MUSTARD I ASKED FOR. THE A**HOLE WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR THAT! COLD MEDIOCRE FOOD. NEVER AGAIN.
