Mike & Patty's

Run by two Formaggio's veterans in Bay Village, this might be Boston's best breakfast and sandwich shop — and its tiniest. If you're lucky enough to get a seat, grab it and enjoy eggs with fantastic salsa, buckwheat pancakes, or a decadent croque-monsieur. If not, there's always takeout.
