Sound Bites

Hello, all.
I'm moving to Magoun Sq in Somerville, in a few days, and I barely know the area. Can anyone tell me if Sound Bites, the breakfast place on Broadway, is really as bad, service-wise, as the horror stories indicate? Is the food worth it?

Wang's is the best Chinese food I've ever eaten not in a "Chinatown" area (i.e. in Boston or NYC).

Soundbites ... eh ... the food was certainly yummy but nothing I'd wait in line and rush for. I agree with whoever said brunch was about lingering and talking and hanging out. Soundbites is definitely better on non-weekend mornings.

Though for the money ... Kelly's *definitely* wins. I loved their grilled bagel breakfast. Grilled bagel, egg, home fries, big piece of hand-cut ham all for $4.99.

And while we're talking cheap and yummy food in and around that area of broadway -- Lyndell's makes the yummiest pastries (as in homey kind not fancy pants kind). I got a whole box for $11 (it had: 2 black & white cookies, a mini boston cream pie, 2 cream puffs, 2 chocolate delights and two full size eclairs.). absolute joy.
