Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a breakfast at this location as we were visiting Tufts University. The location is on the Main Street and in walking distance to the University. The menu has good breakfast options. They all look really good and taste delicious as the name says....There are also some bakery options to go. There is limited outdoor seating. The inside is quite loud since it is all hard material and no noise absorption unfortunately.More

Found this spot on a local bulletin board. It's a bright and pleasant environment smelling of coffee and baked goods. Seating is at tables or window counters overlooking the neighborhood. I ordered form the surly, unfriendly guy at the counter - no excuse for his...attitude - ever a smile or a thank you. I ordered eggs over easy, with sourdough, bacon and a coffee. Coffee was good and the meal came out promptly. Eggs were underdone with the whites still quite liquid, the toast was great - sour, salty and wheaty. The bacon had been precooked and was not reheated. This has become. common problem with American bacon that is precooked and not returned to the griddle before plating - the fat is congealed, the meat tough and the salt prominent. I had to ask for butter for the toast and for salt and pepper. This place has the potential to be very good but it is not. 15 bucks for a sloppily prepared breakfast made with good ingredients is too much.More

The foods fine but walk in, don't order on grubhub. The number they have listed on grubhub doesn't even work we had to track it down on Google. They forgot part of our order and wouldn't correct it. Manager was rude on the phone. They...shouldn't contract out deliveries if they're not willing to perform the customer service associated with common issues that arise. I was just trying to get some food that I could stomach while I was sick and this was an awful experience.More

Good breakfast, nice and friendly service, cappuchino was good, the fruits were ok (a bit watery, less taste). The music was not running smooth which was a bit disturbing. In general average good for me.

I ordered for delivery through Uber Eats and the food was still warm when I got them. However, I was disappointed with the quality and taste. The linguica was overcooked and dry and the pancakes and french toast tasted like meat or reused oil. 😕

Worst Customer Service Ever!!!!! But this place is good for their coffee drinks and pancakes. Don’t get the other stuff it’s a ripoff. Staff is very unprofessional and didn’t even help me out with my issue. Staff doesn’t even know how to bring excellent customer...service. I’ll probably order the pancakes still and that’s about it. They forgot to make my chicken dinner buffalo what I paid for and they didn’t even do anything with the mistake they made.More

Food selection was excellent and service was exceptional. Very clean. Wall mural of old Medford and surrounding towns is a nice touch.

We were heading to a tour of Tufts and found this little breakfast shop just 2 blocks from the parking garage below Dowling Hall. Tasty Cafe has a large selection of breakfast items as well as breakfast smoothies . We were pleased to find that...they offer gluten-free bread options. For those interested in lunch, the menu had diner-type offerings as well as some interesting Portuguese lunch options.More

We heard about the Tasty Cafe from a Phantom Gourmet episode and finally made it to the area to try it out. My wife and I both ordered the Francesinhas sandwich and we both agreed that it was delicious (best sandwich we've ever had!). We...each got the half sandwich (me the traditional and her the burger one) with fries on the side. The half sandwich was enough food, for sure, but I wish I'd gotten the whole sandwich because it was so good. The "bang for your buck" is super high, our bill was surprisingly low for the amount and quality of the food we got. The service was great, attentive, quick and friendly. All in all a great casual restaurant with an amazing sandwich. We will definitely go back again!More

Looking for a place for good takeout. This restaurant is very near Tufts College and every time we've driven by it's been very busy. Got a fresh garden salad with grilled chicken. Proportion was large and the greens were very fresh. The chicken was grilled...and seasoned to perfection. I'm looking forward to my next meal from Tasty Café. Their menu is large so I'm going to branch out and try something different.More

I don't eat fancy. I like good, fresh salads and seasoned grilled chick, etc. A friend told my husband about this place which is nearby so today he went and got me my favorite.....fresh garden salad with tasty grilled chicken. It was a large portion,...fairly priced and delicious. This was our first experience here but we'll keep on going back if it stays this good. I'll even try some of the many other selections on a very large menu. Hope this Café is a huge success with the College students as well as the locals.More
