Ball Square Cafe

Ball Square Cafe serves breakfast and lunch throughout its daytime service, so an afternoon omelet is a reasonable plan. The Broadway restaurant offers grilled mashed potatoes in place of the usual home fries, a small detail worth knowing before you order. The breakfast menu also includes house-made corned beef hash, eggs Benedict, and Moroccan eggs with tomatoes, peppers, onions, and cumin.

You can keep things simple with eggs and toast or make breakfast the larger meal of the day. Check the schedule before heading over: the dining room is currently closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, except for certain holidays. Catering operates on a different schedule, so seeing catering availability does not mean the cafe is open for a sit-down meal.
