All-day dining restaurant Cafe Sauvage has been bringing in a crowd in Back Bay since it opened in 2021. There’s even a throng of people waiting at the door when it opens for brunch on Sunday at 9 a.m. The restaurant has become known for its French dinner series, when diners are encouraged to speak en Français. The Parisian menu brings in global flavors, particularly African elements from co-owner Anaïs Lambert’s childhood.

The coffee spectrum is vast.. Keep it traditional with a shot of espresso or a cappuccino, or experiment with a frothy coconut latte or a tropical mango matcha. There’s even a juice that mixes passionfruit, orange, mango, coconut water, lemon, and club soda.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match. While the flaky, French breads are a delight, consider swapping toast for sweet plantains to soak up your runny eggs.
