American Bakers' Cafe offers breakfast, lunch and coffee. It is also a bakery, they bake cookies, scones, crossaints, muffins cakes ect... . They're open from 7 am to 7 pm.

Christy's looks like your typical neighborhood joint with its tiny quaint tables and menus on the walls. Don't let this fool you into thinking that you can't fall in love with it. I can picture walking into this place from the cold, windows fogged up on the inside with warm steam and enjoying a simple, but unique, Vidalia Chicken wrap at $6.99. Other award winning selections to the menu make this worth the trip, such as the Texana pizza topped with grilled steak priced at $9.49 for a small. Salads start at $4.99, and the breakfast omelets look absolutely delish. They also have good coffee! Catering is also available. Cash only for now, and the prices are very reasonable. By the end of the year, the owner plans to install a credit card machine.

This is a quaint bakery set back from the main street. Beautiful little area with tree-lined streets and a home-grown appeal. Early morning hours appeal to the metro commuter, so if you want your baked goods you'd better head there early! Cash only.

Unique ethnic restaurant with Spanish specialties, you won't find anything like it anywhere else in Charlestown (or most surrounding communities). This is the place to go for your pig feet ($6.95), mofongo ($5.95), and tripe soup ($5.95). They also serve basic and more familiar subs, salad, and burgers at a low price. However, if you want something completely different - like boiled green bananas for breakfast ($4.95) - then you have no choice but to come to his homey little neighborhood joint. The interior is sweet and quaint, with only a few tables. Seriously, stop by and visit this place. Where else are you going to get this kind of satisfying food at such a great price? Free delivery.

This is a friendly little hole in the wall that's set in practically in the middle of nowhere. Right next to an industrial area and across from Charlestown Commerce Center, this is kind of a shame, since outside you can smell the pollution belching from the smokestacks across the street. However, once you step inside, you find a great little pizza and sub joint that's take-out/delivery only. There are no tables, but customers say that they are always greeted with a smile and they keep coming back for their favorites, and everybody seems to have something that they love the best. The wing ding dinners are reported to be excellent! The grilled chicken ceasar salad is priced at $6.50, pizza starts at $9.00 a pie, spicy fries are $3.00., and homemade brownies are only 75 cents. Jenny's also supports several local youth organizations, and has been an active part of the Charlestown community for over 40 years.

Spacious cafe in a style reminiscent of Carberry's in Cambridge. A generous menu of yummy sandwiches will satisfy your need to nosh, as well as a beer and wine. Located in a plaza-type brick building on Chelsea Street off of New Rutherford Ave, you might miss it on your way into Charlestown. The pier is right behind the building, and Cold Stone Creamery next door. This is perfect for an afternoon experience, especially since it closes by 7pm in the winter. Wifi available.
