"This Dorchester spot is both a bistro and a formidable bakery, with a counter piled high with pastries and dense loaves of bread. If frittatas make up the backbone of their brunch menu, the frittata calabrese is the spinal cord. It's chock full of cheese, greens, and spicy salami, and served with crispy smashed potatoes—and at $16, it's one of the best brunch deals you'll find in Boston. Donuts aren’t their strong suit, but the laminated pastries, like the chocolate croissant, are next-level, and eating their maritozzi is like biting into a cloud." - lala thaddeus
