Food was amazing, customer service was a 5 star. I definitely recommend!!!
Let me tell you! The best Cafe ever. Breakfast was amazing. Just look at the videos!!!! Taste wonderfully!
Been living in town for 8+ years and never been to Nan’s before. Well today we finally tried it. Glad we made it in. Service was great, many has a lot to choose from and food was delicious!
The hot chocolate was warm, the waffles were very fluffy. Employees are very nice 👍
Excellent omelet, and they substituted my toast and potatoes for fruit. Love the old diner feel with a clean look and friendly service. Good selection of food.
Love this place, and the people who work there! Best breakfast place I ever been to! I’m always bringing someone that’s never been there before, and now they go there! You people are awesome and the food is great and fresh!!! Love it! Oh! No one can beat your Prices!
Little breakfast place with the most amazing breakfast and the nicest staff. I love eggs Benedict and there they are so delicious. It’s all about how the sauce is made and eggs cooked. We try going there for family breakfast every week. Definitely would recommend this place.
OMG I love this place!!! Breakfast was Ammmaaaazing! The service was excellent! Always checked up on us, offered to fill up our drinks without asking! Coming from Los Angeles, CA. My duties was to find places to eat while traveling. I researched at all the surrounding diners in the area and found that Nan’s had the better rating, better pricing, and the ability to seat our entire family of 6. Even if it’s a few miles off the highways, it was well worth it!! Majority of us ordered the Hungry Man special. I loved it! They have the BEST sausages!! And home fries!! Highly recommended! On the top of my list for the next time I come to Boston!
A lot of breakfast spots around the North Shore and greater Boston are either bland, overpriced, or just forgettable. Nan’s Cafe is none of that. We drive about 30 minutes and come here two to three times a month because it’s consistently that good. The food is simple, flavorful, and done right without trying too hard. Every single staff member is friendly and welcoming, and the whole place feels comfortable and genuine. It’s unapologetically a great, homey breakfast spot, and that’s exactly why we keep coming back.
Tried Nan’s for the first time today and it definitely won’t be the last. Our waitress joked about it being our first visit—and honestly, she wasn’t wrong to call us out! The Meat Lover’s omelet was loaded with meat and really high quality. The pancakes were huge and delicious, and the grilled muffins were absolutely perfect. I also loved that they offered four different hot sauces. The staff were friendly, fun, and made the whole experience enjoyable. Great casual atmosphere too—looking forward to coming back.
