Cafe Weekend

Great food and cute decor. Was pretty packed when I went on a Sunday at noon time but service was still fast.

Cafe Weekend is the a great breakfast/brunch option in Allston! And it's a spot that won't break the bank either.It was busy at 10a on a Sunday, but I was able to be seated quickly at the bar (I was by myself). You do check in with a tablet at the door, which I liked and the process was straightforward.The pink lemonade I believe has some kind of syrup, but it wasn't overly sweet (which I feared with the syrupiness at the bottom). It had a great balance of sweet and tart. I did get my drink quickly.I ordered the drop the eggs sandwich and it was everything I could want in a breakfast sandwich from a diner like atmosphere - slightly greasy and not skimpy on the eggs or bacon. The home fries are more like potato wedges. The guest next to me ordered the toowoomba panini and it smelt really good that I'll have to try it next time.I would definitely recommend Cafe Weekend. Not only would I come back for brunch but I would also be curious about their dinner menu.

The concept of this cafe is a late breakfast theme~ serving breakfast/brunch until 5pm. I ordered a chocolate waffle to share and pancakes! The pancakes were so fluffy and delicious. The chocolate crofal (croissant +waffle) was honestly the best. In every bite, you could taste the layers of the pastry and the chocolate syrup really enchanted the texture.There was plenty of searing and empty spots when we came around 4pm. Tables were clean, and the waiter was present and welcoming. The food did take a while to arrive, but I could tell they were working on my fluffy pancakes! They played kpop on the background and made me feel like I was in a kdrama. Delicious food and good breakfast meals/dessert's!

Food:Food was delicious. The eggs and sausage were cooked perfectly , pancakes were thick and fluffy, French toast was light and fluffy, and the smoked salmon sandwich was enjoyed. Service:Service was very good, the owner and waitresses/waiters were all super kind and positive.Ambiance:The restaurant is small but very cute. There were fun/artsy posters around the cafe. Negatives:The only point of improvement is that they need a bathroom available from the main dining area. Right now, customers have to walk through the kitchen and to the basement to use the restroom which causes concern for food hygiene.

My go-to place in Allston after a meal for coffee!!! Their weekend latte stands out the most and I have got it so many times. It is on the sweeter side and reminds me of the once trendy Dalgona coffee. I recently also tried their cream latte and definitely on the creamier side just like the name - I like how the espresso taste stands out too.Baristas are always very friendly! It is a tiny but cute place and there is a lot of seating for a small space; there is also bar seating as well. They also serve brunch and dinner. I have tried their brunch once and I remember their shakshuka really standing out (I can't find the picture sadly).I recommend this place for either a quick coffee and pastry or a meal! It can get really packed on weekends and you might have to wait for brunch.-9/10

Love this place. Small and cozy diner and the staff are amazing. They always give you a warm welcome when arriving and the entire staff gives you goodbye when you leave. Most remember your name too!Food is always amazing. Asian/comfort/dinner food I guess I'd call it? So good though. Big portions at a great price. The pancakes are amazing and thick and fluffy, but my favorite is the: Shakshuka- delicious homemade meatballs in savory slightly spicy tomato sauce. The shakshuka is better here than almost any other place I've had it, and at a far better price poont . 5/5! It also comes with some sour dough to soak up sauce or just pile food onto.Come for the food and stay for warm and friendly service 5/5

I've walked by this place multiple times and never once was curious what they served here until I saw a reel on IG and got influenced. This unassuming cafe is full of surprises. I was taken aback by how flavorful, amazing, and addictive their pastas are! The atmosphere is casual but service is very friendly. This place can get very hot during the summer as their AC is lacking. But they make it up with their drool worthy pastas. This is a must visit for their pastas! You won't regret it.

Brunching in Boston has been more meh than my annual performance review and cafe weekend is no exception. There's always an inherent excitement when you hear Korean American fusion food because who doesn't have a lil too much Koreanboo in them nowadays? Their must order dish is probly the Toowoomba Panini ($17). They took the hit dish from Outback and made it better as they always do by adding stuff like soy sauce and Gochugaru (duh). Taste just like a saltier and less heavy version of Alfredo sauce to me. There're a few shrimps and mushroom slices in the sauce. Maybe they realize this sauce is salty af so they throw in some under proofed ciabatta bread and overly seasoned arugula. The portion is decent so it does also get heavy and greasy at the end (or after 3 bites). The fig prosciutto panini ($14) sounds like a good idea, who doesn't like a sweet savory sandwich? It tastes just like how you'd imagine it. Idk how but the fig is more overpowering than the prosciutto so it's on the sweeter side. The matcha basque cheesecake ($8.5)is also pretty meh, kinda dry and bland with a hint matcha flavor. The taro latte and the weekend latte ($5.45) are both decent, refreshing and not super sweet. Service was kinda slow but pleasant. With the slow service and limited seating space there's always a wait.

Toowoomba Panini 5/5Blueberry Cream Cheese Croffle 4.2/5 Shakshuka 4.2/5Prosciutto, fig, and arugula panini 4/5 Matcha Croffle 3/5 Love this place for brunch! Only downside is that it is a little bit on the pricier side for what you get, but it's at a convenient location in Allston. It's a small place with maybe seating for ~25 people and can get chilly inside because of how small the place is and there being no double door. If you're looking for dish recommendations, the Toowoomba panini is quite good. The crunch of the bread with the sauce they have on the side is a match made in heaven! Their blueberry cream cheese croffle and shakshuka are also quite good. I've never had any issues with service. Our orders have always come out in a timely manner. Regarding parking, there's 2 hour parking in a small lot across the street or metered street parking available.

the food was absolutely spectacular. Would definitely recommend the pancakes and eggs for sure!
