City Girl Cafe & Catering

All in all, a decent place. The cafe itself isn't that spacious so we had to wait about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad for brunch/lunch time. The atmosphere itself was homey and quaint, but don't expect too much space to spread out. I split the eggs and sausage gravy biscuits and the Monte Carlo with a friend and I'd say both were decent. The biscuits were tender delicious and paired nicely with the sausage gravy, which provided some moisture as a complement to the biscuits . The scrambled eggs were subpar, however, and taste almost like fake eggs. They were kind of stiff and without much flavor. The Monte Carlo was this panini of sorts with some meat and sauce, sandwiches by what appears to be French toast made from baguettes. It was an interesting combination, but not bad. The filling was great and I really enjoyed the sauce. I didn't think the potatoes on the side were anything special though. Overall a great brunch dish. If you're looking for a casual place for brunch or to grab a bite, I'd recommend this place. They also have a pretty good alcohol selection for a cafe their size (no cocktails though, mainly beer and wine). The food was good and servers were kind, resulting in a pleasant experience.

We found this place on Yelp and it did not disappoint at all! It's a small hole in the wall type of cafe. The inside is decorated beautifully with some plants along the windowsill and a huge chalkboard with their specials. I got the rosemary lemonade which was a nice twist to the regular lemonade that I plan to recreate at home. Pictured is the Monte Cristo: a French toast bread sandwich with turkey, prosciutto and a fig aioli. You can also get maple syrup for a little extra cost to make the sandwich even sweeter! The roasted savory potatoes on the side were even better and the perfect balance to the sweetness.

I went here for brunch. I personally thought the place itself was a bit difficult to notice, as I could not really notice the name hording or entrance from distance. Then after careful observation, I saw a board "CGC" which I think is a short form for City Girl Cafe. Now about the food, we ordered Goat Cheese, Bacon & Caramelized Onion Egg Sandwich. My friend ordered Verde- scrambled eggs, pesto, spinach & marinated tomatoes served with toast & roasted red bliss potatoes. Both the dishes were delicious. Then we also had french toast. Again very tasty. I felt it is moderate on pocket. Also, all the employees were very pleasant. Would definitely look forward to go back :)

Such a cozy, hipster, and laid back cafe! The service was amazing and the food was very delicious.

The quintessential brunch destination in Cambridge. Cozy, quirky and delicious, the least surprising portion of the experience is typically reasonable wait to get in. From apple cider mimosas to a roasted cauliflower omelette, the delicate execution on brunch staples with a playful twist will have you happily waiting outside another weekend.

I think I was really lucky the time I came here because this place is small, a little unnoticeable, but a real gem once you step inside. The interior is perfectly cozy and the staff were nice. My friend and I ate brunch here and we were both really happy with our food. The brunch menu, as I remember, isn’t large, so easy to make a choice. The coffee is served in retro cups and refillable. This is the kind of place I would want to just spend the whole morning catching up with old friends in. Really happy I didn’t have to wait at all for a table, but while we were eating there definitely was a line forming.

Delicious comfort food. Small space, close seating, but managed well by wait staff. Did I mention delicious comfort food? Some slightly unusual stuff, too -- the lightly herbal rosemary lemonade is wonderful. If you don't want to wait for a table, make sure to arrive before 10am! It's that popular!

I had tried to get lunch here before at noon on a Sunday, but there was a lot of people waiting outside and was told the wait would be 30-40 minutes. I decided to give it another try and this time came at about 1:30 pm, thankfully there was no wait then and was seated immediately. I had the goat cheese and egg sandwich and it was amazing. The waiter and waitress are both quite friendly and the service was relatively fast. The restaurant is quite tiny and has this homely feeling, but it can get quite crowded and there is usually a line.
