This place fixed my jet lag... First time in Boston, first place I went, ordered the Capitol Breakfast. Pancakes are the best, sausage and eggs delicious too, and great coffee. Small business with friendly staff, lots of regular customers, great place to just sit and relax. Felt like I'd been coming here for years.

We stopped here for breakfast. We ordered 5 egg, cheese, & bacon croissants. The service was fantastic & the croissants were really good. A plus is that we sat on the counter & had a ice view of the Massachusetts State House.

Great little place right across the street from the State House. No frills (paper plates, etc) but good food at fair prices. We had breakfast which was very good. Someone seated near us had a sandwich that looked fabulous.

Perfect place for breakfast. Super authentic including the old boys at the grill arguing with each other in a mix of Italian and English - but super polite and friendly to the customers - local or visitors. Pancakes are amazing and everything is reasonably priced. And for tourists, a great view of the State House.

Looking for a breakfast spot that wouldn't kill the wallet. My husband found this place and I am so glad he did! The food is excellent and priced VERY reasonable. I had the Capital Breakfast special with ham, eggs, pancakes, and hasbrowns. Those pancakes were so fluffy! Its a small spot but worth visiting for a quick breakfast/lunch.

What a humble but amazing place to eat! Loved everything. I ordered 8 eggs with bacon plus cheese Burguer. The best eggs I’ve had in a restaurant in so long! You can see how everything is making at the moment and fresh! Hazel put just all the amazing energy and passion in the kitchen. I would come back everyday I’m staying in Boston. Thank you!
