Happy Meal

Where breakfast is the greatest indulgence of the day

o good is Friendly Toast that some savvy Bostonians used to travel all the way to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to eat brunch there. Now the cult favorite has quietly opened a Cambridge outpost. The new place captures the look, feel and ambience of the original, while keeping its eclectic and daring menu: mammoth pancakes made from homemade batter with add-ins including M&Ms and flavors including pumpkin, and inventive egg dishes like smoked salmon Benedict, all served in a kitschy atmosphere with things like vintage ads for Kool-Aid hanging on the walls.

Shhhh! Like the green eggs and ham—
two eggs poached and served under
an herb sauce and over Virginia ham

Shhhh! Order from cartoon-covered menus
while doo-wop jukebox music fills the air.

Shhh who knew

Friendly Toast serves lunch and dinner, too. You gotta try the Orleans sweet-potato fries, covered in brown sugar with Tabasco and sour cream dipping sauce.
