Why doesn't someone else open up a diner or breakfast place in Newton Centre (if the same block can sustain two ice cream places, surely they can sustain another diner!). It's incredible how popular this place is and how crowded it can get. The breakfasts are good, and they have frappes and yummy sandwiches and other things. The diner decorations are always fun, and sitting in a 50s style booth is fun. All of that said, these are indeed Newton Centre prices for pretty basic items with average sized portions. People go because there's nothing else like it around. Service is definitely always frenzied and hurried. It's not uncommon to see a line out the door, especially weekend mornings.
