Cafénation has everything you could want in a café: vast coffee and tea options, savory and sweet dessert crepes, inexpensive bagel and egg breakfast specialties, and an array of lunch soups, salads, and paninis. Try a MEM loose-leaf tea served in a cast-iron teapot, paired with the “hummer” breakfast sandwich (hummus, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, lettuce, and red onion) and you’ve got yourself a healthy and filling breakfast for under $10. Other popular menu items include the Otom breakfast sandwich (a BLT with eggs, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato) and a hummus and avocado sandwich. The walls serve as gallery space for the work of local artists, which is available for purchase. The establishment is great for a bite or cup of coffee, but be warned: it’s small and seating can be hard to come by. The free Wi-Fi attracts coffeehouse denizens who like to linger

This family-owned bakery has been a Brighton institution for more than 50 years. Founded by Daniel Handalian in 1959, the bakery remained in his family for more than 40 years before being sold to Wanderleia Silva, who runs it with her family. The cakes, pies, cookies, breads, pastries, and muffins are baked in-house daily. There is a huge assortment of ethnic treats, ranging from Brazilian and Italian pastries to Jewish sweets. The bakery also offers fresh fruit smoothies from the Amazon Fruit Company. Consider a custom or photograph cake for your next big party or special event. There are three window stools for those who need their sugar rush before hitting the sidewalk.

Arts & Culture
A beautiful private Jesuit Catholic research university. Although most of the Boston College campus is nearby in Chestnut Hill, in 2004 the school extended its reach into Brighton with the purchase of 43 acres of land from the Archdiocese of Boston, including the former Cardinal’s residence. Subsequent purchases from the Archdiocese increased the size of BC’s Brighton Campus to 65 acres.
Founded in 1863, this Jesuit institution began life in Boston’s South End and moved to Chestnut Hill in 1909. With its superb Gothic architecture, the park-like campus is a wonderful place to stroll, and the college has a small but excellent museum as well. The McMullen Museum of Art, in Devlin Hall on the main campus, includes works by American artists John La Farge, William Trost Richards, Frank Stella, and Jackson Pollock, in addition to classical and Christian Flemish tapestries, ca. 1500–1600, Italian paintings depicting sacred scenes, and American landscapes and portraits dating from 1840 to 1940. The museum has presented special exhibitions of work by numerous artists, including Edvard Munch and the surrealist Roberto Matta. Museum admission is free and open to public, but the museum closes between exhibitions and is typically closed summers, reopening in September. Hours during exhibitions are Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.

After an extensive renovation, the Brighton branch of the BPL reopened in December 2010 and today is one of the nicest places in Boston to relax and catch up on reading. Curl up on the lounge area’s beautiful red couch, overlooking the library’s serenity garden, or enjoy one of the bean-shaped chairs in the story nook or a high-rise table in the teen café area. The branch offers a wide selection of readings, lectures, and concerts and has a good collection of books on Brighton-Allston history, as well as photographs from the Brighton-Allston Historical Society’s archives. Oral histories of Brighton residents will soon be available online, and the library also offers a wide selection of reading materials in Spanish and Russian. Find a calendar of events here. The library is one of the first renovated buildings in Boston to incorporate U.S. Green Building Council LEED standards.

Chestnut Hill Reservoir is a reservoir created in 1870 on existing marshes and meadowland to supplement the city of Boston's water needs. A 1.56-mile jogging loop abuts the reservoir. Chestnut Hill Reservoir was taken offline in 1978 as it was no longer needed for regular water supply distribution,[3] but is maintained in emergency backup status.[4][5] It is recognized today on the National Register of Historic Places and it has designation as a City of Boston Landmark.
