Kelly's Diner
674 Broadway, Somerville, MA
Crema's Take
“Kelly's Diner captures that authentic, no-frills Massachusetts diner charm where the coffee keeps flowing and the breakfast hits different—think perfectly crispy potatoes and omelets that actually taste like someone cares. The weekday crowd is refreshingly lighter than most spots, making it ideal whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely breakfast with friends, and the staff's willingness to swap ingredients and accommodate requests shows they're genuinely invested in your experience. With consistently solid food quality and that timeless diner atmosphere, it's the kind of place that keeps people coming back week after week.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
