Great ambience, great food, great people working there. Service could be a little bit better at times, but when its a fresh, tasty, home cooked meal made with care good things come to those who wait. Fresh bread for french toast with fresh fruit is phenomenal. Eggs and toast with grits and turkey sausage or turkey bacon are great, too. Cappuccino is smooth and tasty. Very grateful this small business is there in the neighborhood. Five or six more neighborhood eateries like this one would completely change the neighborhood into a destination place. Lunch sandwiches and soups are bursting with flavor. But dont take this review for it. Go check out yourself and bring a friend from outside of Dorchester so they can see that Dorchester isnt what they think it is because of the news! Enjoy!

Do not go here, this place is in the hood in Dorchester. Nothing in Dorchester is ever good?! I went here a few times, feels like Im going to a preschool. Little chairs, very tight spots, not enough room to move around, not meant for a family of more then 3. SERVICE TAKES FOREVER! PORTIONS ARE EXTREMELY SMALL. you would literally have to wait more then a half hour for your food. We also ordered out and bought 3 boxes of food, these mofos only sent 1 syrup, are they that cheap?! We supported a local small business but its easy to tell they only care for themselves. They have great organic syrup but THEY ARE VERY CHEAP. Its really not worth it! Go to McKennas theyre better. Or Victorias diner

Ive dined here twice. The food is good but the wait once you place your order is unreasonably long. The last time I was there they brought the wrong order and instead of expediting our meal since we had already waited 40 minutes for an egg and pancake breakfast, we had to wait another 40 minutes before we got the right meal. My bad for sitting for almost two hours to eat... Gave us a free flap jack while we waited but we really should have gotten a free meal. They need to improve their service. Wont be going back.

In walking distance of my home, and the people are friendly serivice is fun. get a chance to meet people in the neighborhood. The wifi is great (I am writing this review on it right now.). quite yet busy. open with good art always circulating thourgh. Most of the artist seem local. Even musicians on occations. Movie nights with Dinner on Friday nights. A protoype of a communial go to place for breakfast and fellowship. Dot 2 Dot is special in that way.

This is a horrible restaurant. The food had no flavor and my scrambled eggs were very watery. The service was okay until I spoke with the owner who saw that I didnt finish my food and she gave me an attitude about it. I had no problem to pay for it and did not complain about anything yet the owner was very rude about it. Do NOT ever eat at this restaurant, I would recommend McKennas which is a mile away and worth the wait!!

My first visit was today....I enjoyed the atmosphere, it was calm and very peaceful. The food I ordered was delicious and filling. The veggies wetter sauteed just right the home fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The hot chocolate could be a little more chocolate ( probably make it with milk instead of water) please add Almond milk to your menu! I will be taking everyone about your place.

Sadly disappointed by the experience here. I read a review of GRADE A service, Id give it a C+ at best. I read a review about delicious homemade toast, meh... Its unremarkable at best. Overall Id say this place is okay. It has a great welcoming local vibe, cool casual chill interior, yummy cheese grits and the ginger biscuit is quite delicious. I really wish I had more positive things to say...

The waiter did not listen to our very simple orders (eggs and toast, and a scone). The eggs were cooked the wrong way and the toast was cold and soft, and the waiter forgot about my scone and brought it cold even though I asked for it warm. At the end, someone dropped off the wrong check and we had to correct them. Overall really inattentive service and a low quality food experience.

We were seated quickly on a Sunday late morning (unusual I thought). Service was only ok. Food was good but not great. Price seemed about right. Id stop there again if in the area and Ashmont Grill has a line out the door. McKennas at Savin Hill is better, cheaper, and has far superior pancakes.

The brioche toast is everything, and the corn beef hash is amazing. Together, they are heavenly. The ambiance has the type of vibe that you could stay all day, work remotely and enjoy lattes. The color of the walls are bright which gives energy to its visitors and staff.

Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! Easily the best local cafe Ive seen in or near Boston. Excellent food. Class A service and a very comfortable and eclectic vibe. Dot2Dot cafe is my new favorite place! I will be recommending it highly to everyone I know.

Terrific local breakfast place. Food was delicious, good price, and a lovely place to sit and eat. I will be coming back here at least once a week. So great to have delicious local food!

Love the food there. Sometimes the waiting staff can be a bit slow. It seems like everyone is just doing their own thing. Took about 6 minutes for anyone to take my drink order.

Papa Jones

Great portions to properly fuel the body. Always fresh never frozen. Lovely wait staff and excellent grits. A MUST visit if youre in the Dorchester area.

Vincent Yancey

Amazing food! The scrambled eggs with cheese were perfect, the bacon cooked perfectly, and the blueberry pancakes were great! Well definitely be back!

Austin Herron

Scrambled tofu is wonderful! Kind of a hipster vibe, even have a small bookstore inside. Would come more often, but its a bit of a drive for me!

Leshae Smith

This is an amazing little breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. I recommend the steak, eggs and grits or the fish and grits!!!!! So delicious!!!!

Good food overall, but was unable to make French toast well done (middle was dough like). Polite, friendly, and welcoming service.

The vegan friendly selection was a nice surprise and the food tasted wonderful. Service was superb. Highly recommend.

Joel Richards

Try the Vegan Pancakes. The food here is solid, and they have a friendly staff. Pricing is good too.

Excellent breakfast and brunch selection in a warm welcoming environment, at an agreeable price.
