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.”

A little chilly if you are near the door in the winter, but the food was delicious and definitely very generous, and the service is great. Had the lox benedict- so good. Lox was good, and very generous. Hash browns were delicious too. If you are a Mavericks fan- look at -the owner at the cash register- resembles Raul Malo- definitely a plus for me!! Wish I lived in Brookline again!

I've been eating here for 20 years since broke college art school days. Food is always fresh and delicious. Menu is diverse, from healthy to hearty. Service is friendly. Coffee cup kept full. Vibe is hometown comfort for any and All. No corporate nothing. The place you always bring friends visiting from out of town or recommend to a stranger. Weekend brunch line worth the wait. Enjoy the smalltalk w nice people you will meet. Leaving for work now. Full and happy.

Lovely hole-in-the-wall breakfast/lunch spot in Brookline. Good food portions and strong coffee in a nostalgic diner atmosphere. Bar seating available and maybe about 6-8 small tables. I visited during a Wednesday morning, so plenty of seating available, but I imagine it gets crowded on the weekends!

Such a delicious little neighborhood spot! We just moved to the area and can tell this will become a regular brunch spot for us. It is a low-key diner feel; kind of small but decent capacity, and it seems the turnover is efficient. We got the Albanian Breakfast and the Figs in a Blanket French toast and both were so flavorful! Prices are typical for Boston; with our 2 entrees and 2 coffees, it ended up being like $60 w/ tip.
