Martin's Coffee Shop
35 Harvard St, Brookline, MA
Crema's Take
“Martin's Coffee Shop is a beloved neighborhood fixture in Brookline that delivers generous, thoughtful breakfast and lunch in a nostalgic diner setting where your coffee cup stays perpetually full and regulars span decades of loyalty. The kitchen takes real care with every plate—whether you're ordering their standout lox benedict or a hearty Irish breakfast—pairing quality ingredients with portions that feel genuinely abundant rather than inflated. It's the kind of unpretentious spot where friendly service and honest food create a low-key charm that makes newcomers immediately start planning their next visit.”
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.
