“ Friendly staff and delicious food. I came on a weekday morning so service was quick and only a brief wait for food to arrive. Asked the waiter what was recommended and was offered several options based on what Iwas feeling. Eventually settled on the crab cake benny side of sweet potato home fries, iced coffee, and a sausage e&c on a Portuguese sweet bun. Benedict was perfect with just the right amount of kick. Home fries weren't cooked to caramelization, which actually worked well texturally in contast with the crab cake. Likewise, the Portuguese bun was a nicely sweet compliment to the otherwise savory bfast sando. Iced coffee was generously large, the size of a Dunkin medium. For those wondering, the other recommendations were the chicken & waffles (special), Irish benny, Vermont benny, and bananas foster pancake or French toast. ”
“ I love the place; tasty subs and very kind staff (especially the new hostess). ”
“ Kinda the Cheers of breakfast spots in Quincy. The owner is a down to earth good guy. Joel the cook in the back is rugged sob but is the man and knows how to cook anything. And Jackie is the beautiful rose if this joint. Its a great spot to catch up with a friend, talk to a stranger or just enjoy a nice warm meal from good people that run it. They try to do a great job with their food so if you are not happy with something tell it to them so they could fix it. Don't run on here and leave a piss poor review. Lets support local small businesses. ”
“ Solid Breakfast Spot. Ordered the special, filet and eggs, usually get the breakfast sandwich with a side of sweet potatoes homefries (highly recommend). Friendly staff and food was surprisingly fast. They can get busy at peak times, but no complaints today. Nice outdoor seating options as well. Would recommend ”
“ Nice cozy cafe for breakfast. I think they close after 2 pm or something, so just a breakfast cafe. They have self-service coffee, so you pay for one and then you can refill it for free. I did not refill mine because one was enough, but our server said that we had unlimited free coffee refill. Double check that when you go there I recommend this place a 100% ”
“ Love this cafe. They offer outside seating with umbrellas, self served bottomless coffee and delicious fresh food. They have specials which my daughter and I ordered. The avocado toast was served with your any way you like it egg and bread. I got the sourdough bread and over easy egg, highly recommended! My daughter ordered their taco bowl. Service was friendly, got seated right away. Waitress was pleasant. Definitely will come back! ”
“ The second time my husband and I visited Craig's Cafe with the family. My husband had the Fiesta Sandwich - Bacon, egg and cheddar cheese on a Rosemary Focaccia roll with chipotle aioli, red onion and green pepper. (4.99) My son and youngest daughter had the Number 1 Breakfast Plate - Two eggs any style, bacon, home fries and a pancakes. (7.50) My oldest daughter and I had - Talk of the Town Scrambled egg, cheese and home fries with a choice with bacon, all scrambled together and topped with American cheese served on a Portuguese sweet roll. (4.99) Every item we had was delicious. The pancakes are homemade delicious - not the typical pancakes you'd get at a IHOP. When you enter Craig's Cafe, you are greeted and made to feel welcome. You pour your cup of coffee from the large coffee pumps - with 8 kinds to choose from. If the coffee's not hot enough, ask to have it heated up in the microwave. The coffee is priced less than the other restaurants around. The kids loved the fresh squeezed orange juice. Prices on food items are also reasonable. The menu is varied and creative. Something for everyone. This Cafe at 1354 Hancock St. is ideally located near both the Adams National Parks office at 1250 Hancock St. and the Church of the Presidents. Hancock Street can be confusing, so when you face the church, look to the right and cross at the pedestrian crosswalk. The restaurant is right there. ”
“ I was in the area and hungry and found this place on a quick search of Google Maps. It was the closest and I really needed some food and coffee, so I decided to just go for it. Glad I did. This place is a gem! First, they offer a coffee station up front with 8 different flavors. It’s a serve yourself kind of thing, so when you need a refill just go. The s’mores flavor is hands down the best. Such a unique blend. Food came out super fast. I ordered the California Benedict which was exactly what I wanted. (No tomato on mine, by choice). The home fries were tasty and hot, without being overly crispy or salty. The prices on the menu as well were amazingly good, making this place a great deal. Most dishes are 8.99 and under, so I was pleasantly surprised when my coffee and Benedict came out to 11.98 total before tip. Definitely coming back! And bringing all my friends. ”
