Had a wonderful brunch with my mom at Cafe Weekend today! We came a little after 12 on a Tuesday and there was no wait with plenty of tables available. The servers were above and beyond friendly and accommodating. We felt so welcomed and attended to. Service 10/10. They have a really nice menu with a ton of options. Coffee was great. The drop the eggs sandwich was also very good. The brioche bun was perfect. So fluffy. Eggs and bacon cooked nicely. Had an interesting almost sweet sauce on it which I liked but there was a little too much. I subbed a side salad instead of the home fries which was really good. It had a nice dressing and parmesan cheese on top. The sweet menu items also looked delicious like the French toast and pancakes although we didn't get any of those this time. Will have to come back! Cute spot with great ambiance!

Love this place. Small and cozy diner and the staff are amazing. They always give you a warm welcome when arriving and the entire staff gives you goodbye when you leave. Most remember your name too! Food is always amazing. Asian/comfort/dinner food I guess I'd call it? So good though. Big portions at a great price. The pancakes are amazing and thick and fluffy, but my favorite is the: Shakshuka- delicious homemade meatballs in savory slightly spicy tomato sauce. The shakshuka is better here than almost any other place I've had it, and at a far better price poont . 5/5! It also comes with some sour dough to soak up sauce or just pile food onto. Come for the food and stay for warm and friendly service 5/5

I've been wanting to check out this restaurant ever since it opened and I'm happy I finally did! We went around 11:30AM on a Saturday and it was packed! There's a waitlist when you get there and they let you know when you can go in. I will say, it's really small inside the restaurants and they do their best to fit everyone. My friend and I sat at the bar seats by the window and it definitely felt cramped. My back was almost against the table behind me. For food, I was craving something hearty so I got their shakshuka and my friend got their Weekend sandwich. He also got the Weekend latte and we shared an Original Croffle. The shakshuka was actually delicious. It had a perfect spicy kick to it and you could tell how fresh the ingredients were. The meatballs were also ginormous and filled you up. Two pieces of toast is not enough for the amount of shakshuka though! The Weekend Sandwich comes with Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado, Pickled Carrots, Ham, Mustard, American Cheese, Brioche, Home Fries. My friend and I both agreed it tasted okay but it was way too expensive for what you get. It tasted like any other sandwich you might make at home. I would be fine if it was under $10 but it was ~$15. The latte was refreshing and on the sweeter side. It's basically Dalgona coffee (if you remember the trend during Covid!). The croffle is one of their specialties and it was good! The texture was great but the sugar on the outside was a bit too burnt for my taste. It was also pretty sweet so I'm glad we didn't get any toppings but they offer a ton like chocolate, blueberry cream cheese, Nutella, and more. I'll for sure be going here again! Their sweet breakfast dishes looked scrumptious and I want to try. They also offer a dinner menu that I would be down to try.

Brunching in Boston has been more meh than my annual performance review and cafe weekend is no exception. There's always an inherent excitement when you hear Korean American fusion food because who doesn't have a lil too much Koreanboo in them nowadays? Their must order dish is probly the Toowoomba Panini ($17). They took the hit dish from Outback and made it better as they always do by adding stuff like soy sauce and Gochugaru (duh). Taste just like a saltier and less heavy version of Alfredo sauce to me. There're a few shrimps and mushroom slices in the sauce. Maybe they realize this sauce is salty af so they throw in some under proofed ciabatta bread and overly seasoned arugula. The portion is decent so it does also get heavy and greasy at the end (or after 3 bites). The fig prosciutto panini ($14) sounds like a good idea, who doesn't like a sweet savory sandwich? It tastes just like how you'd imagine it. Idk how but the fig is more overpowering than the prosciutto so it's on the sweeter side. The matcha basque cheesecake ($8.5)is also pretty meh, kinda dry and bland with a hint matcha flavor. The taro latte and the weekend latte ($5.45) are both decent, refreshing and not super sweet. Service was kinda slow but pleasant. With the slow service and limited seating space there's always a wait.

My breakfast sandwich was ridiculously good. The brioche bun was so light and airy, the eggs were perfectly fluffy, and the sweet/spicy sauce tied it all together. I also got a taro latte - a little too sweet and made with powdered taro, but I am eager to try their other drinks

Toowoomba Panini 5/5 Blueberry Cream Cheese Croffle 4.2/5 Shakshuka 4.2/5 Prosciutto, fig, and arugula panini 4/5 Matcha Croffle 3/5 Love this place for brunch! Only downside is that it is a little bit on the pricier side for what you get, but it's at a convenient location in Allston. It's a small place with maybe seating for ~25 people and can get chilly inside because of how small the place is and there being no double door. If you're looking for dish recommendations, the Toowoomba panini is quite good. The crunch of the bread with the sauce they have on the side is a match made in heaven! Their blueberry cream cheese croffle and shakshuka are also quite good. I've never had any issues with service. Our orders have always come out in a timely manner. Regarding parking, there's 2 hour parking in a small lot across the street or metered street parking available.

Came back again for their new dinner menu and it does not disappoint! I got the shrimp sandwich with fries and love it! The bun was toasted and the sandwich had a thousand island-like sauce. I would come back again to try the pasta.

Nice cozy place! Be warned that if you come here on the weekends (and want breakfast/brunch) make sure to come early as this place fills up fast. We sat at the counter which was nice to see the owner and cooks making the magic happen! Items we ordered (as of 3/2024): - Strawberry Pancakes - $13 - Huge in size. Texture was fluffy and the strawberries added a nice natural sweetness. Only wish the pancakes had some more sweetness to them as they were a bit one note. I'd likely try another pancake in the future. - Shakshuka - $15.50 - On the note of huge in size, this dish is enormous and can definitely be shared. There is a nice spice to this dish and really hit the spot on the cold and rainy day we had it. While not spicy at first this spice will really ramp up as you eat this! Be warned if you're not a spice person. This went great with the pancakes! - Smoked Salmon Sandwich - $14.50 - This was my favorite. The croissant was perfectly flaky and paired well with the smoked salmon. Quantity was also great. Overall we enjoyed our meal and look forward to coming back and trying their other menu offerings in the future!

Breakfast all day? Who could not love it? Cafe weekend breakfast options throughout the day and night but don't sleep on their full menu. I had been here once a long time ago and remembered how nice the owner was and I had a similar experience this time around. The space is pretty small but they've done a great job with the seating. There is nice ambient lighting that makes you feel like you are inside of a lava lamp during the evening when the sun comes down. They have a lot of delicious drinks and so I went for the einspanner despite never really having coffee. It was really good and the cream on top was yum central. The shrimp burger which I worried about getting because I have not had great experiences with seafood sandwiches was delectable. Hella messy from the sauce but I ate every flavorful bite. My friend got the boston cheese steak which I tried and considered stealing from her because it was slapped. They were even nice enough to let us try the funnel fries dessert complimentary which i fought to finish as everything was so filling. It's really chill on the weekdays but if you go on the weekend keep in mind they do get very packed.
