While visiting my daughter and granddaughters in Somerville, we went on a walk and my daughter suggested a stop at this establishment. This is a bakery, butcher shop, grocery store, and café all in one, with Brazilian emphasis. We picked out pastries and sat and ate at one of their tables. The food was excellent, and the employees (family?) very friendly and welcoming. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have a menu a full page long. We did not have a chance to eat a meal there, but it looked very inviting. My daughter has purchased steaks there, and she says they cut them to your specification, including thickness. I look forward to visiting them again, perhaps for breakfast, next time we visit. For any of you familiar with this establishment, they have just moved across the street from their former location, and are more than twice as big as they were.

We decided to have brunch here after hearing so many amazing things about the food and service but unfortunately the experience here was not what we expected. The food was good but the service can definitely be better (specially from the owner/manager).We came here to have brunch with friends who were visiting Boston after almost 2 years. So after we sat down we all discussed the menu and then started chit chatting and catching up with each other and forgot the fact that the owner told us to close our menus when we are ready. I know it is common courtesy all over the world, but sometimes you are in the moment interacting with other people on the table and this is not a white tablecloth 5 star dining experience. This is a casual restaurant where we wanted to have a nice brunch with friends. But the owner came to our table and gave us a lecture about how we need to close the menus and how this is a common practice that is followed all over the world. I mean yeah most of the people on the table have been any where from 15 to 50 countries so we know dining courtesy but what we didn't need is that lecture. It was actually very embarrassing for him to talk to us like we were some illiterate people who have never dined at a restaurant before.Also we went there towards the tail end of the busy hour around 1pm but since we had 1 member missing from our group, he wouldn't let us sit inside(mind you we were a small group of 5). So in addition to standing in line waiting for our turn, we also waited additional 20 minutes outside in the scorching heat when a few tables were empty and he could have easily sat us inside. We would totally understand if it was super busy but I mean this is your restaurant and not a federal building where you can't make exceptions. The worst part is, after we were seated another group came and they were seated right away even though people were missing in their group. The manager who is so loud that anyone can hear him, seated them next to our table and asked them to relax and have drinks while they waited for the other diners. Anyways the food was decent. The omelettes are nice. The home fries are my least favorite, under cooked and under seasoned. My husband's favorite french toast is Coconut Macaroon although avoid the cream cheese and banana french toast, for it is flavorless and dry. They have freshly squeezed orange juice which is delicious. Waffles are excellent, my favorite is the caramelized banana and walnuts. My friend tried Caramelized Banana and Strawberry which she said was overly sweet and doused in sugar syrup. Maybe they should serve sugar syrup on the side so people can add it according to their liking. The banana pancake was nice and fluffy. I have mixed feelings as to whether I want to go back and dine here again. Time will tell!Anshita, weâre so glad that you and your friends could join us for a happy reunion. Because weâre a smaller establishment, we like to welcome and treat our guests with the same charm and good humor like we would welcome good friends. Additionally, we tell each and every party the same thing about our policy -- that when our guests are ready, we ask that they close their menus, just so we can serve them without delay. We sincerely apologize if this was interpreted in any other way than merely informative and with light humor. Furthermore, we're delighted that you enjoyed most of your meal. We're always happy to make recommendations from our menu so you can enjoy meals that are exactly what you're looking for. That said, it's possible to get the syrup on the side on any of our meals, and we would have been more than happy to accommodate this request had we known. Also, we admit there may have been some mistake, however, we follow the industry-standard policy that all members of each party need to be present before the party can be seated. Weâd love to welcome you and your friends back again for a better all-around experience.Sincerely,Mike, Owner

Have heard fantastic things about The Loading Dock and got around to trying it today for brunch.As soon as you walk in there are bakery and lunch options âto goâ. Brunch can be served either outside or inside. Very nicely decorated either way.We split the Mediterranean omelet and blueberry pancakes. Both were very good!Service was great too and unrushed.We just missed the live music about to start.Wonderful option to have very close by.
