We had a lovely brunch at Danny's Diner in Somerville yesterday afternoon. It's a little spot at 300 Beacon Street, across from Petsi Pies, near the old Star Market. I first heard about it on the Davis Square LJ, offered as an alternative to the Supreme Kitchen (closed after a car backed into their dining room). There are 19 reviews on Yelp, most of which were very positive, so it was worth a try.

They serve breakfast all day, plus lunch and dinner. No delivery or web site I could find. They are open Mon-Sat 7 am - 10 pm, Sun from 7 am to 5 pm. They only take cash. There was lots of parking along Beacon Street.

They have six tables and all but a couple were filled while we were there. Clientele seemed like mostly Harvard grad students and a few Cambridge locals.

There is one waitress, who was very pleasant to us, brought us large water glasses to start. There were lots of choices...eggs, omelets, many pancakes, french toast with various special combos and touches. Plus about a dozen daily specials of the "dinner plate" variety. The portions are large - platter size plates! The hash was excellent - the smooth kind cooked on the grill.

We tried a three items:
$6.95 - two eggs with sausage, home fries and toast
$5.95? - BLT club sandwich
$2.95 - a side of corned beef hash.
?? - Large OJ
Total bill was $19 something...very reasonable. The prices are a little higher than Cambridge Coffee on Cambridge Street, but it is a nicer atmosphere and less cramped space.

Definitely recommend this place for breakfast if you have cash and want a quiet spot to talk and eat.
