Social Profile:

Brassica was started as the first brick and mortar restaurant from the Whisk Pop Up group. Our passions begin with locally sourced, creative food and beverage, served in a laid back and friendly atmosphere. But our staff is the true heart and soul of the Brassica experience. The 3 co-owners: Jeremy Kean – executive chef, Philip Kruta – co-chef and designer, and Rebecca Kean – operations manager. We are so proud to be the parents of our lovely family and to operate in such a wonderful neighborhood. After 9 years, on OCTOBER 15th, 2025, we are expanding to a larger space at the former Dogwood – right next door! This expansion will provide more space, more jobs, and more fun for all of us; we’re stoked! Reservations will go live 10/2/25 🙂

Hip, buzzy cafe with gourmet java & pastries by day & Euro-style meals, plus cocktails, by night.

I recently had a meal at Brassica, and overall, it was a great experience. The risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the pizza had a wonderfully thin crust, very much like a classic New York-style pizza. The rigatoni pasta was tasty, though not particularly standout, but still a solid choice. The fried rice was packed with flavor and really hit the spot.

The BK fried chicken (we ordered the larger portion) was incredibly tender and had just the right amount of sweetness served with a small portion of homemade mustard sauce on the side and lemon wedges, it was definitely a winner.

However, the real star of the show was the Brussels sprouts. They were absolutely fantastic, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor. Definitely the dish that left the biggest impression, and I’ll be coming back just for those!

Had a lovely brunch with Lydia as our server. She was very attentive, helpful, and friendly! We had the salted brown butter pancakes (10/10), biscuits and gravy (10/10), and the chicken and waffles (9/10). We also enjoyed the first date cocktail (10/10) and a mimosa with added peach (9/10). The new location is also very nice! Highly recommended this restaurant!!!

Loved the experience. The atmosphere, the food, the service…. All tops! Even on a packed Saturday night, my date and I never felt the pressure or stress of a busy night. Staff was warm and welcoming. Bartenders were fun and very fast with orders, they seem to love their jobs and that goes a long way for guests.

The service was excellent. Staff was friendly, attentive and informative. I ordered the fried rice from their brunch menu and my sister ordered the melted butter pancakes. She loved the pancakes. While I enjoyed their unique touch to the fried rice and perfectly runny egg, I didn’t love how much oil it was all swimming in. We also waited 45 min for our food.

Edit: I made I a typo and wrote “informal” but really I meant “informative” ‍♀️ Learning that they just expanded and were adjusting to the new space is great context for helping me understand the delay!

Honestly incredible brunch. I got the biscuits and gravy; I had never hard pretzel biscuits before and I loved them. The gravy was flavorful and the chicken wasn’t dry. I tried some of a friend’s pancakes and they were INCREDIBLE. Next time Im going to get an order for myself.

Amazing food! Have been here before but first time in the new space. The brunch is so good, get the fresh hot sauce or else you’ll regret it. The house hot sauce is especially important for the chicken and waffles. The service is great as it’s always been. The new space is much more comfortable but I wish the lighting were a little softer for those of us sitting at tables. 10/10 my favorite brunch restaurant in Boston.

This restaurant’s been on my list for a long time and I’m glad to have gotten there on Sunday for brunch.

We found a spot out front easily enough and though I made a reservation for 11:15 but we got there at 10:30 and they sat us at the bar immediately. No need to make a reservation. The bar was almost completely empty, but they sat us next to the service well which was odd. We got our coffee quickly, but surprisingly no espresso machine for espresso drink.

Our order was taken and within 10 minutes the food was out. We almost felt rushed, even if the food was ready the cadence was off from when we ordered, and when we received the food. The food was very good. We both enjoyed it and split our dishes, but considering the portions, it was a little expensive despite the tax and tip being included.

We weren’t offered refills of our coffee, but that’s fine. When the check was dropped It came to something like $54 with everything included. I dropped my card, the bartender grabbed it and ran it and dropped off the check for me to sign and it was $92. I flagged to him to get it fixed. Had to give my card back so we put it back on my card and then redid the transaction with the right amount. Check my bank statements and I was charged then refunded $92. Very bizarre and I’m glad I caught that when I did especially at a place where you don’t need to review it since tax and tip are automatically included.

Just the food it was really great, sitting us at the end of the bar, the food coming out extremely fast so we felt rushed, and getting charged the wrong amount, those all contributed to the three star rating.

This was such a fun dining experience! It’s a very eclectic array of foods with so many flavors to try. Our server, Josh, said the best way to describe the food they serve was “saucy” and that honestly is true. So many good sauces, with flavors from all over the world! We did The Ride, a fixed menu with 8 plates plus dessert. They were flexible with some dietary needs and our server was fun, knowledgeable, and had fantastic service. We loved trying so many different things and enjoyed some lovely cocktails alongside it all. Such a great spot to try new flavors and have a special date night!

I’m sorry to write that our experience was mediocre and disappointing. We went there with another couple of friends for dinner on a Friday evening in mid August. The place was full of people, apparently having a good time. The staff was busy and diligent, kind and friendly.

The location is not so nice and the exteriors are somewhat rough, between a central bus station on a busy street with traffic and honking cars, and a parking lot of a funeral home, with big trash dumpsters.

We sat in the back yard tent, four people around a small table with small plates. We liked the concept of sharing various plates and dishes, but the portions were small and the food was very salty and greasy (gave me heartburn). The black cod was unpleasantly smelly (fishy), and the green salad was very bitter and salty. The only way to fill my tummy was to order some bread, which was served with way too much butter, really wasteful.

I saw a picture of fries in a review online and asked the waitress why it wasn’t on the menu, she smiled and said it’s a secret…  she also suggested the special of the day, but did not tell us the price, and that was not on the menu either. As a matter of principle and practicality, all items should be on the menu, and customers should know the prices before placing orders.

The prices are pretty high and they charge around 23% fee to cover gratuity for the waiters, kitchen and bar staff. We respect and support all those good people, but do not like to be charged such high fees. Either raise the prices and show them clearly on the menu, or take whatever tips people leave and split the money between all the employees. Customers should have the freedom to decide how much they want to tip, considering the quality of food and service they received.

We enjoyed spending a couple hours with our friends, but did not enjoy the food or sitting on the asphalt in the undecorated tent, with loud background noise. For us, it was not worth $40 per person (with no meat or seafood, with no dessert or coffee); there are much nicer places at that price level.

We went for brunch and overall had a good time. We got the pretzel biscuit, brown butter pancakes, omelette, and breakfast fried rice. Everything looked great and the food did taste good, but towards the end of our meal we did start to feel it was a bit greasy and heavy. The vegetarian options were extensive, which I really appreciated. I would come back if I wanted to take some friends, but I think it’s slightly out of my budget to become a regular option.
