Sound Bites has amazing breakfast

S and I finally got around to going to Sound Bites--a restaurant in Ball Square about a half mile from Davis Square in Somerville, MA. It's really kind of silly--I've been living in the area since 2002 and I knew the place was there and I knew about all the fancy things people said about it. I even knew a bunch of people who've been there and can't think of anything else to say other than, "dude--the food is amazing."

So this morning, S and I decided to start our day with brunch at Sound Bites after having mildly terrible Thursdays and it was wonderful wonderful wonderful. If you're in the area, skip Rosebud (which I think is particularly overrated) and walk the half-mile to Sound Bites. It's worth it.

hi. I just got a new doctor on broadway, enabling me to visit a part of somerville that's entirely new to me (I guess it's near ball square?) anyway, I'm glad to hear a good review of sound bites, it looked intriguing but was closed when I was there. I tried the coffeeshop True Ground, across the street, and it was pretty fantastic. do you know anything about some of the other restaurants around there?

Yeah!  There are a couple of really good restaurants in the Davis/Ball/Teele Square area and a bunch of decent ones.

Good ones: Sound Bites (in Ball Square), Namaskar (in Davis Square), O Natural (great sandwiches) (outside of Davis Square towards Porter), JP Licks (ice cream) (in Davis Square), Cristos (in Davis Square), and that new place that opened two doors down from Cristos (in Davis Square)

Decent ones: Amelia's (in Teele Square), Blue Shirt Cafe (in Davis Square), Joshua Tree (in Davis Square), Sauce (in Davis Square) and Redbones (in Davis Square).

Don't bother: Rosebud (in Davis Square) - I'm sure some folks like it, but I thought it was bland and overpriced and their Bloody Mary sucks.

Of course, these are my opinions and it's possible that I hit the restaurants on bad days.  I'm sure someone likes the restaurants that I don't like because they're still there.
