"Really good service!!! No wait, both times I've been, however, I've seen people waiting outside for a table. Yummy food! The Moroccan eggs were fantastic! The omelets are good, so are the eggs and steak tips!! Went back another time! My partner had the Moroccan eggs, I had a bacon/mushroom omelet and we shared the raspberry French toast with vanilla cream!! So delicious!! Great service!!"

"This was incredibly easy to give a 5 star, here’s why. We got two plates, the “Fit for a King or Queen” and a Make-your-own breakfast sandwich with grilled mashed potatoes on the side. Here’s everything you need to know: the bacon melts in your mouth and is absolutely delicious. The grilled mashed is a staple here, it’s buttery and addictive. They have great gluten free options including pancakes, English muffins, and toast. Everything was amazing and I’ll be back soon. UPDATE 11/11/2025: Ball Square Cafe does not miss. I’ve been here 7-8 more times since the original review, 10/10 every time. This is my go to brunch spot, especially when it comes to gluten free options."

"Food was amazing and very clearly fresh and using good ingredients. That said, be careful of the orange juice. It’s freshly squeezed and absolutely incredible, but it’s $11 a glass. We ordered our drinks before looking at the menu and were surprises to see $22 for 2 cups of juice. Like I said though, it was amazing orange juice. But for $11?"

"I’ve been to many breakfast spots across Massachusetts, and Ball Square Café is by far the number one! The food is absolutely delicious — everything tastes fresh and perfectly prepared. The pancakes are out of this world, fluffy and full of flavor. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I definitely would. This place has officially become my go-to spot for breakfast. Without a doubt, the best place in Somerville!"

"First time coming here and it will not be my last! This clean cozy cafe has everything you need for a nice brunch! Service was efficient and amazing! I ordered the meat lovers omelet and the waitress recommended the grilled mashed potatoes and THEY WERE OUTSTANDING!! I am now hooked. Their hot chocolate was tasty too! I enjoyed everything on my plate! I will be back!"
