| - This is a review for breakfast. The place is clean and the people are friendly. The coffee, which is Zeke's, was very good. While they have simple eggs on the menu, the breakfast menu is predominantly sandwiches. In addition to the speciality sandwiches you can make your own with a variety of toppings.
I debated only giving 3 stars since I thought my sandwich was just okay, but my buddy really liked his breakfast sandwich, he said it was excellent, and I can't give it 3 1/2 stars.
So why wasn't my sandwich great? It starts with the bagel. The bagel was soft, I suppose I could have asked for it toasted but that wasn't offered as an option, and it tasted like a bagel you would get at Giant Eagle, not a real bagel. The cheese on my sandwich was melted on to the bagel and not onto the egg - not a big deal but not the way I prefer it. I had avocado on my sandwich (at a $0.50 up charge) and the avocado slices were quite small to the point that I could barely taste it.
Net, net, the food was good but not fantastic. The price point at about $5 per sandwich is certainly reasonable. If I'm in Brookline and in need of breakfast, I would certainly go back. But I don't think I would make a special trip to Brookline for these breakfast sandwiches. I'll have to give them another try for lunch, maybe that's where they will really shine.
