This was the best cup of coffee I have had. The most delicious calamari I have ever had. The restaurant is clean and modern. Staff are friendly and helpful. We did not have to wait long for or food and sat down immediately. Plenty of parking available. The bathrooms were very clean. Amazing restaurant

The food was delicious, great service. This place didn’t have a huge line, unlike others, for Sunday brunch. It will be still hard to find a seat there, but it is worth it.

Really enjoyed this Charles St ‘order at the counter’ style Bistro. So cozy and warm with generous serves and great (for America) cappuccino. The pastries looked great and will be back to try some soon.

Yum! Stumbled upon this gem walking down town... loved the window front views as well as how freshly prepared my breakfast was! I would definitely stop again.

Settling at 3.5 stars for Panifico. Given it was Sunday brunch time, every place on Charles St was super busy with long lines so we went back to Panifico which had few tables free.Easily found on main Charles st and so close to Charles MGH station. You order first then you sit with your order nr. Prices here were decent (well, compared to the Bay Area :P) and service was minimal. Good options on the brunch menu from egg dishes, salads, sandwiches and pancakes etc.The four of us opted for:- smoked salmon eggs benny. This was really good and not super heavy with good portions.- eggs florentine. Lovely and light vegetarian option.- huevos ranchero. My hubby was content with it tho seemed a bit on the dry side.- chicken sausage hash. Not exactly what the person who ordered it had in mind. She was very disappointed with the huge portion and not so good taste-wise.Coffee and fresh OJ was decent. Overall the experience was good but nothing to write home about. Would love to try other places in the area.

Not sure why this place is considered to be in top 10 places for best brunches In Boston. Food was average and flavorless. I would have tried somewhere else for brunch.

Cozy brunch spot! Lovely place to sip coffee and people watch.

Fast service, many options, food was made good.

Great macchiato. Friendly service. Good street view. Soothing music.

Good breakfast and coffee everything you wish for

Their tomato soup is amazing. Paired with a great grilled cheese sandwich makes for a perfect rainy day meal.

Great service and wonderful food

Amazing Spinach and Feta Omelette. Ask for the strawberry turnover.

Good food, we had a good gazpacho and salad. Friendly staff and atmosphere.

It was good, but I think there are other places with better options for the same price. I had a relatively average salad.Let me be clear, it wasn’t bad and it’s good if you’re in a hurry. Just didn’t stand out to me as a 5 star lunch place.I’ll be back!

Good breakfast with conviviality.

I love this restaurant, I have penne Bolognes and was delicious, they have really good Italian pastries

I often take my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I go their often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the cooking is tasty and the team is very friendly and cooperative. always when we go to this place we have a pleasant evening. highly recommended.

Tasty coffee and pastry. Friendly staff and very clean restroom. Very nice place to drop by and take a break.

The experience in general was 4. You have to order first and then seat. I ordered a water, but the cashier didnt tell me that I had to get the water myself. I ordered the stuffed French toast that comes with cream cheese on the bread, a terrible combination of sweet and sour. I love sweet and sour food, but this isnt good at all. My husband got eggs with toast and potatoes. The eggs were fine, the toast is too thin and too white, the potatoes were spicy (what wasnt an issue for him, but it would be good to tell the customer, I cant eat spicy food, for example), besides that they added mangoes, what could be an amazing surprise once it wasnt mentioned on the menu, but it was unripe. If you are adding something to the dish, you need to make sure its good for your customer to eat.In addition, the tables are very clean and the staff make sure to wipe then very fast. The coffee is good as well.Not sure Im coming back, probably not.

This great bakery and bistro has very tasty food and is a solid value. Its snazzy without being snooty.

Cozy bakery and bistro with delicious food. Great service too!

A genuine Italian bake shop with excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner. Best place to meet Beacon Hill locals!

Amazing breakfast and lovely spot. Very reasonably priced and good sized portions. The chocolate chip pancakes were fantastic and the fruit cup was so fresh! Staff were incredibly friendly, the cook even said bye to us as we left. Will definitely visit again next time I’m in Boston!

I celebrated my birthday earlier this evening in this delicious restaurant. Well we passed a terrific evening and the venue was indeed one of the reasons for this strong evening. The team collaborated in a lovely style, the food was delicious and my friends were very pleased. We shall no dout return for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Great breakfast to go. The breakfast sandwiches are excellent with loads of meat (ham). Pancakes very good also (but they forgot the syrup even after saying they wouldn’t forget).

Ordered the egg and cheese sandwich meal, got there and it was only the sandwich, so I asked if I could get the meal which I originally ordered (shouldve had home fries and fruit) then only gave me the home fries. :)

Great apple tarte, aweful apple turnover..(molded)

Cute spot for breakfast with a fun neighbourhood vibe and hanging strings of Edison bulbs overhead. Fast and good quality food, though the cappuccino was way too hot and milky for my taste.

I had amazingly delicious Meatball sandwich here. Never had such soft meatballs anywhere else. Dont get fooled by the bakey sign, its a proper restaurant with a staff that is friendly and serve you well. Perfect lunch place for MGH visitors (like me).

Terrible place! I would give a zero star if I could. I ordered a pastry from there and they gave me a completely different thing from what I ordered. Note, you have to pay before you order your food. I mentioned the mess up to the lady who works there that got the wrong pastry for me, and she rudely said, “Well that’s what you ordered and paid for.”, and she refused to change my order or at least give me a refund. Horrible customer service! DO NOT GO HERE!

Got the club wrap. Very satisfying. I particularly enjoyed their chocolate chip cookie. Still thinking about it a couple days later and will go back to get more. Good price and good eats.

This is a wonderful little spot. Ive been for lunch and treats and never been disappointed. Highly recommend the chicken and broccoli penne 👍

The best blueberry pancakes in Boston — sooo yummy and quick takeout during the pandemic

This location is one of my favorites. i will be back with my relatives. the prices are well within reason for the quality. i see why this place has so many good reviews.

So nice to just have a perfect blueberry tart and mineral water. Cool and calm atmosphere; a buffer zone against the chaos. Felt rejuvenated once I left.

Super tasty sandwiches with nice breads made freshly. A cozy and unpretentious environment. Reasonable prices.

Great Breakfast Lunch and Dinner Menu and Pastries!!!

I love discovering neighborhood gems and Panificio is certainly one. Cute little breakfast bistro with plenty of bakery options. Staff was so friendly. Hueveros Rancheros was delicious, with fresh and flavorful ingredients. My friend had the poached eggs and loved it as well. Fresh squeezed orange juice. I liked the small dining room. Id recommend grabbing a table before ordering as it can be busy. If curious, give this place a try. You wont be disappointed.

This Place has the best French Toast! Im still drooling over them! This place is a must and the Staff is so nice and attentive. You must get there early and be prepared to wait for at least an hour.

Good service, good food, nice ambiance. I would stop by anytime for a coffee and pastry or a quick breakfast.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Had a sandwich that was really good, and a cinnamon stick that was delicious. The price seemed reasonable. The ladies who served us were very nice and we were served promptly.

Had a fantastic quick dinner here. One of the best mushroom risottos Ive had. I let them know I was in a bit of a hurry and they got me my app and main in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend.

Good place to have a brunch and conversation provided with cup of coffee and delicious pastries.

Beautiful little restaurant in Beacon Hill. Perfect for brunch. Tried the Eggs Benny. Delicious, perfectly cooked eggs. My girlfriend had the Chicken Sausage Hash & it was one of the greatest tasting things Ive ever had. Top notch food!

I got the special- salmon croquettes with side salad. My boyfriend got the reuben. Both were delicious. I had refreshing lemon ginger tea, he got coffee. Fresh flowers on each table and upbeat jazz got me feeling great.

We had walked up Charles Street, stopping at whatever antique shops were still open, all the way to Boston Commons and back again, stopping at Beacon Hill Chocolates for a bit of flavor. Now we were getting hungry, and we needed to sit down somewhere. Panificio’s was perfect. I got a little pizza, which was the perfect size and shape (just almost not quite round), and being on foot and not in car, I got a beer. Fantastic! The waitress was efficient and timely, the decor was tasteful (even the posters in the bathroom displayed a bit of panache). I recommend this restaurant highly.

Solid choice. A bit pricey for what you get, but its pretty good food and the wait, if any, is usually reasonable. Definitely worth a look for brunch on the weekends too.

Had the breakfast burrito. Very good. This place is consistent in its food quality. Non pretentious good food

The branch food was good.The service was not good.There was mistake in the order which could happened ( no complain there ).No one took responsibility or took any step to help to resolve it. The team just told me to go back to line and I have to wait another 25 minutes for the order. Bad experience.

The place is comfy and the bakeries are amazing, I came in from the smell :)

Delicious, nice options, register staff doesnt seem to keen on tourists or menu questions. Whatever, foods good.

Great service. The tomato soup was excellent paired with a good BLT.

Great downtown lunch spot. Crowded, but friendly. Outsoor seating available year round. Nice for large groups, kids, students. Prices run about $8 for a fresh vegetarianism, sandwich, soup, lemonade.

Great for lunch. Quick and easy ordering to table delivery. Good sandwich choices and other victuals. Now serve wine.

Loved it there. Nice breakfast, good coffee, day and friendly. No problem to find seating there on a Sunday at 10am.

Enjoyed our breakfast there. The waffles and berries were fresh and tasty. Its a little pricey but the staff is friendly and they serve breakfast until 11 which is great.

Nice ambience, great service, appetizers very good. Every dish but mine was fine. My dish was a simple cheese burger, and it was inedible! Greasy, with gristle in every bite. The waitress was clearly upset that I was unhappy with the burger and readily deleted the item from the bill. She offered to replace the item quickly but I was ready to go. Not sure if Ill ever give this place another try. Too bad, since it used to be an old favorite...

Simply the best brunch place on Charles St. Decently priced options, comfy atmosphere, quick service.

Good place to eat something tasty, quick and casual. We had the meatballs and the pulled pork burger. The pulled pork was so good!

Ordered eggs benedict and a chicken tarragon sandwich on baguette.The good: eggs where pretty decent. OJ was good, and a glass of water tasted like it should; like water.The bad: baguette was more of a giant hot dog bun. Baguettes all over the world are ashamed. The pickle on the side was odd: it had some anise/remedy flavor. Side of potatoes on the eggs was greasy, flavorless, and didnt taste fresh at all. Mayonnaise tasted like miracle whip. Im gonna stop here...

Nice quiet lil bistro. Food was excellent service was excellent, definitely visit there again when Im in the city.

Delicious brunch!!

I had a delicious lunch yesterday and sat at the bar. My turkey panini and glass of pinot grigio was delicious. I will be back to try a pasta entree very soon.

Had an absolutely amazing sandwich here - The Roma. Bread was amazing, super high quality ingredients. Staff is lovely.

The stuffed French toast were simply two lightly fried pieces of bread with a little cream cheese spread on one of the slices and a pile of bananas, blueberries and strawberries. Not what I expected. It should be titled French toast with fruit. Paid before I got the meal.

Cute place but I asked for a lemon square and got two layers of burnt puff pastry and a glob of what tastes like bad jarred lemon curd.Not impressive from a bakery.

Great neighborhood bakery. we got a small breakfast and sat at the window. best spot to just watch the bustling city life.

Great service, friendly employees, amazing food

Very friendly staff (they heard us talking about my daughters birthday tomorrow and brought her a cookie after breakfast) and yummy food. Im a big fan of the formaggio (toast with cream cheese and fresh fruit). Also a good spot for people watching. We like to get off at MGH them have breakfast and head over to the common.

The eggs Benedict, the coffee, the vibe, the views - loved everything at Panificio.

Solid bistro and bakery. Drinks and food are pretty good, vibe is relaxing. Great location on Charles Street in Beacon Hill

Good food. Nice bakery. Can get busy

The owner is said to be friendly, but the afternoon staff has been cold and incompetent. Im an easy customer, and its not like my money isnt green. So, take a chance, and you might get some decent service, but dont count on it.

The stuffed French toast sounded wonderful. But unfortunately it had a very odd off taste and was not edible but he fruit was delicious had an off taste I would not recommend getting the French toast.

Great for brunch! You have to go up to the counter to order and pay for your food though. Theres no table service. The dining area can get pretty crowded and cramped though.

Food was good, service was good, not rushed.

We stopped in for a pastry and coffee! Very nice atmosphere with delicious pastries! We had the lemon square, yum! The coffee was great, too!

Spectacular environment, service and food :)We went in with our son because of the environment and we will never regret it. Amazing service and food. We had the salad with grilled shrimp, vegetable pizza and steak.

Cute cafe. Nice staff. Good food & good coffee. This place is a go to lunch spot. Try to tomatoe soup!

The special of the day was awesome. Salmon cakes served on mixed greens.

I liked the atmosphere but the food was nothing to write home about. I ordered fish tacos which were soggy, bland and overall underwhelming. At the end of the day, the meal filled the void but it definitely didn’t wow me.

Great pressed Prosciutto and mozzarella. Really fairly priced for the neighborhood. Friendly staff

I had lunch with a group of four. The food was good and the staff was professional.

I had a peperoni pizza, and it was ok. As Italian I would defined it as a focaccia with tomatoes and salami (peperoni).The service was slow (considering that they had to worm it up the pizza).The staff was talking with me in Spanish, even if I told her I dont understand Spanish. Also she had difficulty to understand english.Generally, the staff was not very welcome. I moved to a difference place to have the rest of my lunch.

Great location and service. Great cubano.

Lovely cafe at a beautiful Beacon Hill. Stopped by for some hot cocoa on a chilly evening.

A-freaking-mazing. Despite the 20 minute wait at 8 A.M., the food was satisfying enough to make me forget about my worries. Like the reviews say..get the Monte Carlo and/or the Dungeness Crab Benedict. Service could be a little better, but I understand that they are SUPER busy, so Im not going to ding them on this.

A bit pricey but great breakfast.

Cute little cafe/restaurant. A little over priced for what they offer in my opinion. They charge 1.75 for a can of soda for some reason. Tomato soup and Reubben sandwich are both good.

I love this restauran, the food is súper good and the servers are very nice, I have a duck confitado salad

Looks super simple but great food and great service

Food quality was pretty bad, even a little cold. My gf had a piece of eggshell in her food. A lot of the food was microwaved. We have to pay in advance too so we regret giving the usual amount in tip

Was advised by a local lady to go here for breakfast, it did not disappoint. Had breakfast egg roll with sausage, kids had chocolate chip pancakes. All hot, tasty and delicious 😋

Had to prosciutto sandwich. My comment is where is the beef? Unacceptable! You save money and increase profit but I will never go again.

Nice neighborhood spot. Had pastries and coffee.

Delightful staff! Very welcoming and warm on a cold winter day!

Great breakfast, Fast even with large crowds

The food was quick and the staff was friendly. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs it was pretty good but felt it was missing something.

Great place, the food is good and inexpensive, nice atmosphere. Love it
