"Cafe Sauvage serves up hearty French dishes in a gorgeous plant-filled Back Bay space. The croque madame is excellent and their breakfast sandwich on a croissant is flakier than the friend who skipped out on brunch last minute, but they really pull out all the stops for the beverage menu. Yes, their lattes are perfectly frothed, but there’s also pretty pink drinks like an iced strawberry matcha that’s basically a smoothie, and the bissap, a tart and minty hibiscus juice. Get here before 10am for a quieter sit-down experience, otherwise, be ready to wait." - lala thaddeus
