"Somerville’s Ball Square neighborhood is brunch central (see also: Sound Bites, listed below.) Open since 2007, Ball Square Cafe serves breakfast and lunch all day, every day (except on Christmas Day, the one time it’s closed all year). The pancake selection includes chocolate chip and banana; blueberry; strawberry; and more. Gluten-free and whole-wheat options are available, too." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
