"Another Ball Square pancake option, Sound Bites, features pancakes made with a cornbread batter and topped with strawberries, pecan, and ricotta. There are also standard pancakes with chocolate chips, coconut, or several other options. Whole-wheat pancakes are available." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

I ordered the Broadway bowl, and I was disappointed that the vegetables were basically raw, the cheddar cheese was sprinkled on top and not melted, and there was some sort of liquid at the bottom, not sure what that was. It was supposed to come with toast, and I asked for gluten-free toast, but they were out. The people I dined with were equally unimpressed with their meals. They charge $6 for a tiny glass of orange juice. It was $100 for four of us for breakfast before tip. For that much, I would expect something incredible. Would definitely not ever come back.

Wow.... simply the best breakfast! Fast service, great coffee! I had a corned beef hash omelet... hands down the best hash ever. 🙌 If you get a chance please stop in here for breakfast, you will not be disappointed.

As busy as this place gets I expected better. This is one of those places that just look good with average food. It wasn't so busy when we came. You can taste all the flavors from the griddle on the toasted muffin so it ruined the muffin.

Ordered the ricotta stuffed chala french toast with bananas and strawberries and I received cantaloupe or mango (can't tell because their really isn't a strong flavor) on top??? I mainly ordered this because I was in the mood for the strawberries and bananas. Maybe they ran out of the fruit?? Regardless, unripe cantaloupe or mango is probably one of the last fruit I want on top of french toast. The French toast itself is okay, it has a light flavor, and the ricotta adds a nice texture. It's a decent proportion as well. I think this would taste good with the strawberries and bananas. Overall, feeling disappointed. Edit: it's definitely mango

The waitress was right on point and very polite. I do not know if the person who runs Sound bites or owns it, came to our table and was very nice as well. Food was ready and delicious. I ordered coffee, Asparagus and Swiss Omelette with I think it was prosciutto ham? Correct me if I am wrong? And my hubby had the Omelette meat lovers and also the orange juice was amazing! Great place to have breakfast. Their menu has many more options. Can’t wait to go back.

Great dinner in ball square ! It was tough to venture out to ball square, but the new T stop makes it much easier to check out places like this. Came here for an early breakfast and were happy at the quick and high quality service. Got dishes very quickly after ordering - portion sizes are great. The coffee station is self serve, and easy to navigate. Very cheap in terms of what you are paying for and very kid friendly - getting appropriate seating and booster seats for smaller children. Hope to come by again soon!

It's been many years since I've been here but it's still amazing. Great atmosphere. I like that you get your own coffee and drinks. The food was delicious. They have a great menu with such a big selection. The pancakes were yummy. My favorite has to be the home fries. They are unique and very delicious.

Hot and delicious eggs benedict and the grilled mash was tasty. The self serve coffee station is slightly chaotic but adds to the charm. Lots of interesting items on the menu and would return to try more
