zaftigs 
The french toast is great, the ambiance is fun, the area is hopping, the price is right, the waiters are pleasant, the portions are generous, but it can be a little noisy for the hard of hearing.

Favorite Breakfast Spot in Boston
Zaftig's is one of my favorites places to go for breakfast, especially with a few friends. Although the place is often packed, the hustle and bustle is part of the fun. Even if we have had a short wait, the food always arrives on time. There are plenty of tasty options on the menu. The omelettes are excellent, build your own and order a side of silver dollar pancakes. If you want a real treat, order the mimosa with breakfast too.

Amazing Breakfast
I've been there a couple of times but I will say that they have a tremendous breakfast menu. The food is delicious, and on time, and the service is great. I'd recommend this place to anyone but the secret's out on them so it gets busy.

Food & Service is Marvelous
I went for lunch at Zaftig's last month. My waitress Sherry, was so sweet and a top notch server. I recommend this upscale Deli to anyone who enjoys grade A food and a fabulous friendly atmosphere, due to the great service. Ask for Sherry and you'll sure to be pleased, all around.

Great Deli Food
Zaftig's serves great deli and comfort food. If you need a meal as good as your mom makes, this is the place to go. It's also a great place to people watch.

A terrific Restaurant 
I'm really not into Middle Eastern Food, but my publisher took me here to discuss a play that I'm writing. I was shocked with the quality of the food! Everything was fresh and delicious. We went during lunch, and it wasn't very busy. There is a deli area to get food to go. The prices are quite reasonable, too.
PROS: good food, good price
CONS: nothing

great breakfasts!
This is a great place to go to on the weekends for breakfast. Their banana stuffed french toast and their crispy and flavourful latkes (potato pancakes) are to die for. Go early or expect a long wait. You can also order the food for takeout or go straight to their deli.

Good, Quality Food
I have never been disappointed! They have many different options on their menu, and they are all delicious. They are located right in the heart of Coolidge Corner. Good, quality, decently priced food.

northern comfort food
I'm from the south, i miss my comfort foods until this place redefined comfort food for me. I love the matza ball soup and hollys heavenly salad and fish plates. i didn't care for the potpie or turkey/avocado/cranberry roll. I love their variety appetizer plate, rice pudding, and rootbeer floats.
Pros: food, fun atmosphere, nice artwork
Cons: sometimes a long wait, sometimes loud

Best Food Around
Zaftigs is a wonderful place to go to for any type of food your in the mood for. Moderatly priced things are a big plus to this resturant. Zaftigs is a great place to take kids, and the wait staff is very friendly and knowledagable about the menu- try their potato pancakes or their matzo ball soup! The food is excelent, I don't know a person that doesnt like it!
Pros: The food and atmosphiere.
Cons: Long wait on weekends.

Banana stuffed french toast - A must! Very friendly and efficient service.
You can't go past the banana stuffed french toast here. It is a delicious breakfast option which is topped with fresh blueberries and strawberries, with maple syrup on the side. The coffee however was not the best, but this was made up by the excellent and friendly service. I have been here for dinner also, which was not quite as good. I ordered a hommous wrap, however was told that it was not on the menu (even though it was!) - this problem was rectified promptly and it ended up to be delicious. It is very, very busy and amazingly by 8.15am on Saturday morning, the delicatessen is full! A must try in Brookline!
Pros: Great food, great service
Cons: Very busy, bad coffee

Great breakfast.
Chocolate french toast and banana stuffed french toast are both awesome. Go later in the day, or on a weekday if you don't want to wait for an hour+, breakfast is served all the time. Great neighborhood, plenty to do while you wait for your table.
Pros: everything
Cons: Family-oriented so a little loud on weekends, can't call ahead for reservations
