  • Tasty Gourmet

    1

    321 Boston Ave

    Medford, MA 02155

    Tel: (781) 391-9969

    Sandwich Shop

    Tasty Gourmet

    Tasty has great sandwiches. They have melts, wraps, but best of all big, hulking grilled panini. They use panera bread -- my favorite was the Sierra Turkey on Foccacia. Sometimes the fries are a bit much, but they're ...well...tasty! They have a breakfast menu, but I think the sandwiches are better.

  • East Asia

    2

    868 Broadway St

    Somerville, MA 02144

    Tel: (617) 666-8282

    Thai | Chinese

    Easily my favorite Chinese takeout/delivery spot around Tufts. Great lunch/dinner specials -- it's not authentic Chinese by any measure, but it's damn good and not greasy. I suggest the kung pao chicken special. I love the hot and sour soup even though its far from traditional.

  • Soundbites

    Healthy Lunch | Mediterranean

    Owner Yasser Mirza in front of his Ball Square eatery

    The mecca of breakfast spots in Ball Square. They moved next door from their old spot, but the food's the same. Good omelettes, good eggs bene. I don't like the homefries, but that's just me.

  • Nick's House of Pizza

    4

    372 Boston Ave

    Medford, MA 02155

    Tel: (781) 396-6630

    Pizza

    Good greek-style pizza on Boston Ave. I love the pepper and onion pizza. They also make good subs (good pastrami)

  • The Danish Pastry House

    5

    330 Boston Avenue

    Medford, MA 02155

    Tel: (781) 396-8999

    Chocolate | Desserts

    The Danish Pastry House is on Boston Ave in Medford Hillside

    Great bakery/cafe with good coffee, free wireless and a good vibe. Staff is uber-friendly. Try a kringle.

  • The Broken Yolk

    6

    136 College Ave

    Somerville, MA 02144

    Tel: (617) 628-6621

    Sandwich Shop | Bagels

    Breakfast, lunch and take out salads, Boston

    Breakfast spot that is always packed to the gills. It's certainly not the best food around, but they make good muffins and do all the staple breakfast stuff. Good iced coffee too.
