Mike & Patty's Breakfast | Bow MarketB

5 Bow Mkt Wy, Somerville, MA 02143 · Breakfast restaurant, Brunch restaurant, Coffee shop · Union Square

Excellent breakfast and lunch sandwiches with standout breads and fries; expect takeout-only, occasional long waits, and minor consistency hiccups.

The verdict

Mike & Patty's excels at what it does—crafting satisfying, well-built sandwiches with quality breads and fillings in a lively Bow Market setting. Strong food quality and appealing courtyard atmosphere anchor the experience, but inconsistent execution and notable wait times prevent grade A territory. Best as a casual neighborhood stop rather than a destination.

About this restaurant

In Bow Market, this counter spot turns out big, satisfying sandwiches on excellent breads, from bacon-egg classics to smash burgers and crisp fries. The scene feels lively and communal, with courtyard tables and a steady buzz. One diner put it well: "Friendly window service, then we dug in outside—simple and delicious." Expect takeout-only and occasional lines. The cooking leans elevated comfort more than flashy. Think thoughtfully built breakfast sandos, a hefty burrito with a hash brown inside, a standout BLT, and a fan-favorite burger. Quality eggs, melted cheeses, and solid sauces do the heavy lifting. Most days it hits the spot, though a few visitors mention timing hiccups or an item arriving cooler than ideal. For families, this is an easy win: familiar flavors like egg-and-cheese, fries, and burgers suit most kids. Portions are generous, and you can share a sandwich without fuss. There is no dedicated kids menu or table service, but courtyard seating and quick counter pickup make it low-stress if you time it outside peak rush.
