Here’s the thing: whenever I go to a diner or a breakfast place and I see corned beef hash on the menu, I’m ordering it. It’s how I judge the restaurant. If it’s freshly made and tasty I give high marks. If it’s canned and looks like dogfood I give it low marks. Unfortunately In House Cafe’s hash is the later. I feel a bit churlish since the menu itself is highly eclectic and it seems to specialize with more of a Mediterranean flair, but they don’t want to be judged on their Irish breakfast, then they shouldn’t offer it on the menu. That all being said: for canned corned beef hash, it was pretty decent. Toast was offered with white, wheat, and multigrained, and it was fine. The potatoes were think wedges and sparse but nicely seasoned and frankly I think the portions were pretty good. I ate everything and I wouldn’t have wanted more. I will say, the eggs were uncommonly good. Over easy and JUST how I like them. (Probably loaded with butter but I’m not complaining). I also got a chai latte which was a bit better than average. I tried ordering the lentil soup on the menu, but was informed that all they had was the chicken soup. The atmosphere of the place is absolutely fantastic, which is sort of incredible because it doubles as a little convenience store as well. But it was bright and friendly and quirky and if I had brought work to do I feel like I could have spent the whole morning there. Service was pleasant if perfunctory. All in all, I know it sounds like I’m complaining a lot, and I was disappointed by the quality of the corned beef hash, but the rest was quite pleasant. And for being disappointed I walked away full and pretty happy. I’d be curious to try it again.

GO HERE! JUST GO! Don’t even question it- this is quite literally the BEST Middle Eastern (Syrian) food I have had in the Boston area, NOTHING else comes close! They have such a wide selection of classic Middle Eastern staples as well as American brunch dishes and everything in between. I got the lamb kabob plate- it was SOOOOO delicious. Tender, flavorful, and paired well with salad and hummus with pita. I also got a chai latte, very good and not your run of the mill chai! We also got the Mexican omelette- the steak was cooked to perfection and everything was seasoned beautifully, we licked this plate clean at the end. It’s been days and I’m still thinking about it. This place is gorgeous on the inside with high ceilings, plants, and middle eastern decor. It also has a cute little convenience store that’s well priced- we grabbed some drinks and snacks after. Everyone here is so nice and the food is DELICIOUS. This place deserves to be packed to the brim- I will be coming back!!

Where do i begin!!!!??!?! I'll let the pictures say it all but honestly I'm not even exaggerating when I say everything was 5 STAR! This is my first time here. I ordered the Mediterranean crepe and added feta cheese, it was so good I licked my plate clean! Lol This is the first time I went with my girlfriends to a brunch and we all finish every bite off our plates! Check the pics The food does take a bit long but gives you time to chill and chat and the vibe overall is so nice that you dont really notice the wait. They do make each dish fresh so we cant even complain about the wait. I actually appreciated how fresh everything was! The servers were very friendly with beautiful smiles! The cheese fatyar is a perfect light appetizer! The apricot banana split dessert was fingerlicking good! And the baklava was the perfect amount of sweetness! Not too sweet like youd find in most places! The owner was also super nice! I'm very impressed! And will definitely be back

We chose this place for our Sunday breakfast. The prices were quite reasonable, and it was very crowded inside. I guess it was so crowded that our order arrived about an hour later. Since we came for breakfast, we were hungry, and waiting made us even more tense. We ordered two different types of tea, but one of them came wrong. Both teas were very bitter; normally, they shouldn’t be this strong. When we asked for an extra fork, they brought me a soup spoon instead, and then didn’t pay attention to our table again. Later, we ordered two different breakfast options. The vegetables in my omelet were undercooked and very hard, like the tomatoes and peppers. I didn’t like it. This is not a place I would want to go again for a relaxing breakfast on the weekend.

This place is a gem, one of the top 3 cafe’s I’ve been to worldwide. First of all, the food is very good. I’ve eaten here at least a dozen times and many of the menu items are delicious - the blueberry pancake is the best I’ve ever had! The lentil soup, Mexican omelet, and the coffee are also five stars. The staff is pleasant. It’s the kind of place where you get the sense that employees stick around for a while. Everything down to the furniture is quality. The place is tastefully designed with abundant natural light and art from around the world. You get a spacious, comfortable feeling here that makes you want to hang out and relax. Thanks to Ahmed (the owner) and all the staff for curating a memorable experience in chestnut hill, MA.
