This brunch is amazing
🥐 Contessa Boston: The Brunch Spot That's Way Better Than Tatte (and Prettier Too!) Hidden Above Tiffany's on Newbury St Tucked above the iconic blue store, Contessa is the brunch dream Tatte wishes it could be—think bright natural light, elegant decor, and zero elbow-to-elbow chaos. Finally, a place to chat with friends and enjoy your food! 🌟 The Brunch MVP: Orange-Scented French Toast French Toast with Orange Zest 🍊 Thick-cut brioche soaked in vanilla custard, topped with fresh orange compote. The citrus cuts through the sweetness perfectly—each bite smells like a sunny morning in Provence. Pro tip: Order a side of whipped cream for extra decadence. Other Winners: Eggs Benedict:Perfectly poached eggs on toasted brioche, hollandaise sauce that's light not gloopy. Avocado Toast:Creamy avocado on sourdough, sprinkled with chili flakes—simple, but executed flawlessly. 🚫 Why I'm Over Tatte Crowd Chaos:Tatte's line snakes out the door, and good luck finding a seat without elbowing someone. Flavor Fade:Remember when their grain bowls were good? Me neither. Contessa's dishes taste deliberate, not mass-produced. 💡 Brunch Tips for Contessa Resy Required:Book ahead—this spot fills up fast (especially weekend mornings). Vibe Check:Light, airy, and Instagram-friendly—window seats offer prime Newbury St people-watching. Price Reality:$$$ (French toast ~$18), but worth it for the ambiance and flavor. 🌟 Final Verdict: 4.5/5 for Elevated Brunch Goals Come for the French toast, stay for the civilized brunch experience. Tatte who? Contessa is here to remind you brunch can be both delicious and relaxing. #BostonBrunchGoals #ContessaBoston #NewburyStEats #TatteAlternative
