Reviews for Martin's Coffee Shop in Brookline, MA
Cozy little home cooked diner. Great vibe and the food was solid. We came here on a Saturday for a late breakfast and sat... outside because inside was full. We then proceeded to wait over an hour for French toast and eggs. I get that its a busySaturday but at the very least give us a heads up that it might be a while. So my top tip is definitely try this spot - food isgreat. but don?t go during peak times. The small kitchen can?t handle it. Read more
Used to eat here a few times a year and always enjoyed it. Went recently for breakfast and it was a disaster. Honestly for a... place that has "coffee shop" in the name this was the worst iced coffee I've ever had in my life. They take old hot brewedcoffee and put it in the fridge to cool down. 40 minutes for food to be served. One of the cooks said he was going to step offthe line to eat... at 10am when they are slammed? After he leaves the other cook starts making chicken breasts for lunch insteadof the breakfast tickets piling up on his rail. Homes fries are soggy and not fully warmed up. $20+ a person for greasy spoondiner food not cooked well is a scam. Higher end brunch restaurant prices for Sysco corned beef out of a tub. We love to supportfamily run businesses, but the ship has sailed on this one. The rest of the (hardworking) staff is running around like crazywith sweat on their brow while the two women up front, who I assume are part of the family that owns Martins, wastes time ontheir phones and stares out the window.

An entirely C+ experience. Staff we?re not particularly friendly, seemed annoyed when I asked for something to be taken off the... bill that I ordered but did not arrive with my food. The food itself was okay, I would compare it to University canteen food.Most frustratingly, it took 30+ minutes to arrive. Additionally, I was slightly concerned with the Half & Half that clearlystates ?keep refrigerated?, sitting out, not refrigerated. If you have all the time in the world, and customer experience isnot a top priority this might be the place for you. Read more
Place really comfy! Good localization, when you go by car it's pretty difficult to park, principaly in rush hours! There's a... restroom in the kitchen, that you can use. You can sit in or out side coffee, or take out if you want! We ordered a Eifel Towerbreakfast! It's so delicious and big meal! And in another time we order a teriyaki chicken! So delicious! I recommend! Read more
Great little diner with incredible service and cooked to order food. The Belgian waffles were serviced with tons of fresh fruit,... the chocolate chip French toast was incredible and the breakfast sandwich was delicious. The only this we didn?t love were thehome fries?a tad too greasy for us in the morning. And the coffee was darn good as well, as one might expect from the name! Read more
Cozy place. Live food counter. Bar stools and also tables. Good menu and reasonable price. Finding parking can be challenging in... rush hour. Sunday morning breakfast would be a great idea. Offers dine in, take out and delivery. Grubhub friendly. Has a smalloutdoor seating looking at the street. Read more
Food is decent but service is bad. Waitress looks as if she doesn?t care a thing. Didn?t give us adequate time or explanation of... things on the menu. Being busy is not an excuse for that. Could have been better. Read more
Nice old diner atmosphere. My wife and I are visiting our daughter in Boston and staying at the Hilton Garden in Brookline.... Martin's is a 9 min walk. We both had the French toast, which were fluffy and very good cooked just right. The home fries wereexcellent. If you are in the area, you need to take a morning for breakfast. Read more
