Best brunch

You can't do dinner at SoundBites - which is a damn good sign that you've found the best breakfast joint for miles. Davis Square may be Somerville's reigning jewel in the crown, but it's this Ball Square gem that gets locals out of bed and lining up on the sidewalk for breakfast. Once you get in the door, pick a mug off the shelf, pour yourself a cup o' joe, and settle in to consider your options: killer waffles, hearty pancakes, or eggs Benedict - all tasty, all cheap. Phoenix readers may feel a bit ambivalent about spreading the word - who needs more competition for one of the few tables? But little else around these parts can touch SoundBites, so hungry locals will gladly hop in line, knowing it's well worth the wait.

SoundBites, 708 Broadway, Somerville, (617) 723-8338.
