We went to Club Passim for Sunday brunch with our toddler and another family (two toddlers and 4 adults in total). We came to grab a bite before a kids Reggae concert nextdoor at the Sinclair later that morning. The employees at Club Passim are so great! Attentive, super friendly and genuinely kind when interacting with our kids. We had the pleasure of listening to The Late Risers for the early part of their set while enjoying a surprisingly awesome brunch spread. We will be back!

Brunch was delicious! The omelet, French toast, hash browns, bacon, and biscuits were really tasty! Our waitress was friendly but it took a while for the food to get to us. The jazz band was fun and played well together but the volume was too loud. We would go back if the band was a little quieter.

Cafe Passim is a hidden gem. Especially for music lovers, this is a small space near Harvard Square on Palmer Street. It has a rich history of presenting music - so you can be sure they have cultivated the best acts. Primarily folk-bluegrass, although there may be some other types. The food for brunch was hearty and wonderfully presented. The peppered biscuit I would come back for alone. Try the Vermont sourced bacon - it is very sweet and tender. The vibe reminds one of a small Greenwich Village folk club in the 60s that serves great local food. Nice ambiance for families or a group of friends.
