Boston knows how to start the day off right. Whether you want to enjoy breakfast at a diner or café, there’s sure to be a neighborhood joint that’ll fit the bill. However, in a city this size, it’s easy for attention to focus on the same cluster of restaurants that deliver sensational food on a consistent basis. And that’s fair enough, but eateries with a lower profile sometimes get overlooked.
That’s true of Home.stead Bakery and Café in Dorchester. If you’re a breakfast food aficionado, you won’t regret heading over to 1448 Dorchester Avenue.
Order one of the bagel sandwich. The "surf" is a riff on the traditional smoked salmon with cream cheese, since arugula, avocado, cilantro, and mayo are added to balance out this bagel-wich.
Pair Home.stead’s baked goods with a cup of Vietnamese coffee. Cafe au lait, cappuccino, drip, iced, pour over coffee, and more are also available. Take the flavor up a notch by adding one of the house-made syrups.
