What it is: This tiny Bay Village eatery specializes in quick and comforting breakfast sandwiches.
Why we love it: The "Fancy," a breakfast sandwich piled on toasted multigrain bread with fried eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, red onions, and house mayo, is Mike & Patty's claim to fame. It has customers lining up around the block, including at their other locations in Jamaica Plain and Somerville.
Time Out tip: Having only two stools inside, Mike & Patty’s Bay Village location is ideal for grabbing breakfast and enjoying it on a park bench or maybe even a nearby stoop. We particularly enjoy sitting in the Bay Village Neighborhood pocket park at Charles and Melrose streets.
Address: Multiple locations including Bay Village, Somerville, and Jamaica Plain
Opening hours: 7:30am–2pm Daily; hours differ at other locations
Expect to pay: Around $12 to $15 for a sandwich and hot coffee.
