Boloco's web site now lists a Davis Square location as "Coming January 2007" with hours of 7 am to 11 pm. O'Naturals hasn't taken the location off their web site yet. (Is it still open at all?)
I agree that a general-interest restaurant would be nice - something with a menu like the Greenhouse in Harvard Square, where you can get breakfast, sandwiches, big salads, soups, and some more dinner-like things. Coffee shops/lunch counters like this are plentiful in New York City, and in other Boston neighborhoods as well. Something with waitstaff.
I find Deli-licious to be too much like a sub shop - of which there are plenty. Rosebud - either you love it or hate it, but it is too expensive for the food quality in my opinion.
Years ago, Bob Gregory, owner of Redbones, proposed to open something like this at the corner of Elm and Chester streets. His model was the Mount Vernon Restaurant in East Somerville. I believe he got all the necessary permits, but ultimately decided not to proceed. Eventually Diva opened in that locatio instead.
