Cafe Landwer – Back Bay

Café Landwer on Boylston Street is a sit-down option for shakshuka, hummus bowls, sandwiches, and a breakfast that can comfortably become lunch. The short rib shakshuka adds braised beef to eggs cooked in tomato-pepper stew, with challah for the sauce. Hummus bowls come with toppings including falafel and chicken shawarma, while the mezza selection lets a table work through several dips with pita.

There is room here for different appetites. Someone can order a schnitzel sandwich while someone else goes for pancakes with fruit and Nutella. The menu gives you plenty to consider beyond eggs, which makes Landwer useful when your group cannot agree on whether it is still breakfast time. This is the Back Bay café on Boylston, a short walk from Copley Square.
