Neighborhood draw for big breakfasts & brunches, plus lunch & dinner with Middle Eastern flair.
Jumbo Coffee, Bites, and Brews 🐘
1. Sound Bites Café 🎶🥞 A Tufts brunch classic! Sound Bites is the spot for giant pancakes, loaded omelets, and crispy home fries. The vibe is cozy, loud, and always packed with students. 2. The Great American Beer Hall 🍻🎶 This spot mixes cold drinks, live music, and late-night energy. It’s part bar, part concert venue—perfect for grabbing beers with friends, catching a show, or just soaking up the lively vibe. Think high ceilings, neon lights, and a crowd that keeps the night going. 3. Dave’s Fresh Pasta 🍝🧀 A Somerville gem in Davis Square. Dave’s is all about fresh pasta, epic sandwiches, and a deli case stacked with cheeses, meats, and snacks you’ll want to bring home. Perfect for a quick grab-and-go lunch between classes. 4. Revival Café ☕🥐 A go-to coffee fix near campus! 5. Deep Cuts 🎸🍔 Part BBQ joint, part live music venue, Deep Cuts in Medford is where smoky brisket meets punk rock vibes. Grab a sandwich stacked high with meat, sip a local beer, and stick around for the show—this spot is all about good eats and loud nights. 6. Dragon Pizza 🍕🐉 Funky, creative pies right in Davis Square! Giant slices loaded up with toppings (think hot honey, spicy sausage, fresh veggies). Chill spot, cool murals, and shuffleboard. 7. Avenue Kitchen + Bar 🍹🍔 Laid-back but classy, Avenue’s the spot for comfort food and Detroit-style pizza. Their cocktails are a win too
