The deceptively small facade of this cafe in Brookline hides a pretty spacious delicatessen next door to an elementary school on Harvard St. The breafkast menu had plenty of choices and I wanted to try so many different things that I ordered two breakfasts (one to-go for lunch later on) and plan on returning tomorrow. This morning I had the... more

Great for lunch. Recommend Stuffed cabbage, Borscht, Reuben, any of the deli sandwiches esp Pastrami, Challah french toast. Latkes (potato pancakes are on the mealy side) and challah bread pudding was lackluster. Good service, fun, lively atmosphere. more

My husband and I have gone to zaftigs quite a few times now and we intend on going back for more. While it in no way compares to a real NY Jewish Deli, the food is tasty and most of the time is well prepared. Zaftigs fits in well with the Brookline neighborhood which consists of a robust Russian/Jewish population... more
