First time here, and it was better than I expected!
Came on a Saturday afternoon, got the crispy salmon burger, the Cubano pork sandwich, and a green smoothie (banana, kale, etc)
Took a bite out of the salmon and my eyes popped from all the flavors! The Cubano was also fantastically delicious too! I’ve had plenty of Cubanos and though Rifeullo’s version wasn’t authentic, it was the best tasting version because of the variety of vegetables! Great balance.
Small improvement, would have love the salmon burger to be actually crispy and more of the fish. It was instead salmon pieces.
Overall, great! They also carry baked goods!
(Was too hungry and ate before the camera. Here is a vibes photo instead)

One of my favorite cafes in Brookline. Low-key, a bit out of the way, but worth the detour.
Cafe from Chef Colleen Suhanosky, the same mind behind the kitchen at Beacon Hill Books & Cafe. Location-wise, kind of far from all the other hot spots in Brookline and tucked away in a more residential part, so it’s a perfect spot to unwind or get some work done. Menu’s a bit more casual than her Beacon Hill flagship, but there’s a similar approach in how things are seasoned. Clean, thoughtful, and never heavy-handed.
I’ve mostly stuck with their plate section rather than the sandwiches. My all-time favorite was The Lox plate (sadly no longer on the menu). Just cured salmon, crispy potato cake, fried egg, and a creamy herby sauce. But it was one of those combos where every element was done right. The cured salmon especially—some of the best I’ve had from a cafe. Still miss it.
Tried the crispy salmon cake most recently. Good texture, but what I really loved was the salad on the side. Just like the farro salad I had on a previous visit, it didn’t depend on vinaigrettes or dressing for flavor. Instead, they used bright citrus (like oranges) and fresh herbs to make it pop. Subtle but clever. Just very Colleen.

Rifrullo is a hidden gem! This place was recommended to me by a friend and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots. Their options are unique but truly tasty. It is also a great place to sit and do work, and their seating options are comfy!

Don’t pick your bakery based on the line outside, although there may be one here too. We demolished Affagato, Tiramisu and Ricotta Pie. All generous servings and good service in a cool room. By far our favorite so far.

Kind of a perfect neighborhood spot? Great space to linger over a coffee and a pastry or get a full breakfast. Super friendly service too. Absolutely loved the bar seating facing the street with a slight fall chill coming in thru the window.

This cozy little café is located right by Boylston Street near Brookline Hills T Station on the D Line. They have a variety of savory and sweet treats as well as a hot menu like Shakshuka and Sandwiches. It’s certainly the best (and only) coffee shop in the area!

Watching this place grow and thrive over the last years, even through pandemic. It only gets better and it started out so amazing!
Today I had the Rifrullo Lox. Every bite, from firrst to last, was soooooo good. light delightful dressing, in house lox to weep for, so much dill but not too much. Just amazing. Do not miss this gem, it will call you back with a siren song.
