Welcome to Theo's Cozy Corner, a delightful little haven nestled in the heart of Boston's iconic North End. This family-owned café embodies the spirit of Italian warmth and hospitality, making it a beloved neighborhood staple for breakfast and brunch lovers alike. With an inviting atmosphere that seats just around twenty patrons, it truly lives up to its name - cozy, intimate, and filled with genuine charm.

At Theo's, the focus is on quality and comfort. The menu features a wonderful selection of dishes that highlight the best of breakfast and brunch. Patrons rave about the French toast, which has been described as "out of this world," and the vast array of pancakes, all expertly prepared. My personal favorite has to be the Porto Wine French Toast with strawberries, which strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and richness. The waffles, available in an assortment of flavors from banana to chocolate chip, are also a hit – perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, they provide a satisfying start to any day.

For those looking for something savory, their selection of club sandwiches and salads does not disappoint. The Turkey Club at just $9.95 is both hearty and satisfying, while the Cajun Salad brings a delightful spice to the menu, priced at $13.95. The homemade hot spicy mustard is a unique touch, available for purchase, allowing you to bring a taste of Theo's home with you.

Found this little neighborhood gem of a cozy cafe located in little Italy that was open on Thanksgiving day until 2pm. Very nice genuine hospitality and a nice selection of sandwiches, breakfast and brunch items. Very friendly family and staff running it. Not too big but cozy! A neighborhood staple cafe with their own homemade hot spicy mustard that you can purchase a bottle of to take home!

Sausage was remarkable. Coffee was cheap and good. French toast was out of this world. Pancakes were tasty. The waitresses and cook were so sweet. Very tight place but we could call it cozy.

Very good food, not only quality, but quantity. Small place, but they manage to accommodate people in there. I didn't like that it was cash only, though.

This is what an authentic small Italian breakfast location in Boston's north end should be! The restaurant is true to its name: a cozy corner, seating about twenty people. The service was great, and the breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast) was perfect. It is hard to mess up this type of food, but the uniqueness of the location and family-owned business makes it something very special. Please enjoy!

This is the best breakfast that I've had in a while. Regina was our server and she was a joy. There were smiles and hellos upon arrival. It's a small spot so we are close. The ingredients were fresh. I didn't leave weighted down or uncomfortable. The food was amazing. It was seasoned. Perfect portions. Everyone finished their plates. The cappuccino was heavenly. Not only was it beautiful in presentation with whipped cream, but it was the best one that I've had in years.

The food here is amazing. Every single bite of pancakes had chocolate chips and bananas. The bacon was crispy. The French toast was so good. And the steak and eggs were a hit too. The servers and staff were super friendly and helpful. We went with their suggestions and loved it so much we came back the next day for round 2. It's a cozy place as the name says but enough space for small and medium sized groups.

BOM DÍA! Theo's is an amazing experience. My sons went right when they opened and there was no line; the rest of my family and I went later on around 10am and there was a line out the door. Regardless of the long line, the waitstaff was attentive and friendly to each of us and it is first come, first serve, rules. The restaurant ambiance is great - everyone was smiling because the food is so delicious! The prices are very fair, especially for a major city like Boston. They do have a restroom which is in the basement through the kitchen. I didn't mind it at all. Must try - hot chocolate - they steam it and fill it with a whipped cream float on top. We also had these items - THE BIG BOY - 3 eggs cooked to your liking with or without cheese, 3 sausages, 3 slices of bacon, and 3 pancakes. I chose scrambled with cheddar - it was all perfectly cooked. I consider myself an expert at cooking pancakes and these were equal or better than to what I am accustomed. CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES with strawberries - amazing - kids went bonkers over it. The pancakes are thick and giant - I didn't see anyone finishing the pancakes because they are so huge. Syrup was on each table and was standard. CHICKEN QUESADILLA - grilled chicken, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and cheddar cheese - it was perfectly done! I highly recommend Theo's and they speak English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Very cute little diner inside! Cozy as advertised in the name :) And service was very kind and good came out quickly Portion sizes were big! Got the steak and eggs breakfast plate. Eggs were nicely cooked, lots of nice fresh fruit, toast was good crisp! Hot sauce was fun to try. The steak was a bit tough and hard chewy but flavor still pretty decent
