Awards

Aram's Cafe has been voted #1 for Belmont for "Restaurant for Breakfast" and "Restaurant for Lunch" by the Community Newspaper Company for 2009. Aram's net is cast far beyond Belmont too: he also received the "regional bronze" for "Restaurant for Breakfast".

Immortalized in Stone

Aram has had such a profound effect on the tastebuds and trends of the local Belmont scene that his portrait has been put on display in a busy thoroughfare in the town. OK, not his portrait. But that mural is for real, and that is indeed supposed to be him in the green shirt. A town organization created the piece. You can find the mural a few lights west of Aram's Cafe, at Trapelo Road and Beech Street, on the left side.

From Daniel in South Waltham, MA [Jun 2009]: "Breakfast at Aram's is always a special occasion, for, squeezed into this little storefront is one of the tastiest little restaurants for miles around. A particular favorite of mine are the muffins. I'd suggest getting the blueberry variety - my personal favorite. Get it to take-out and watch how fast the butter and batter soaks through the bag. It can't be good for a person's cardiovascular system but it's really, really yummy."

From Matt in Belmont, MA [Dec 2007]: "Aram's has been here forever and is the go-to place for a quick breakfast. Normal breakfast menu, but the show stopper is the muffins. I think they are made with some insane cake batter, but these things are amazing. If you feel like being a fatty Arbuckle, get one grilled with a bit of butter."

From Josh in Somerville, MA [Oct 2007]: "I ordered an egg omelet with tomatoes and broccoli. I enjoyed my egg omelet. The ingredients were fresh and the omelet was slightly browned perfectly. I thought the homefries were well seasoned as well. This seems like a great local place, and my grandparents mentioned that it attracts a crowd on the weekend. It's a little on the small side so probably best for group sizes up to four. There is counter as well as booth seating available. The service is fast and friendly. The prices are reasonable as our group of three paid a little more than $20 combined for our meals."

"Aram's is a warm and friendly family cafe featuring some standard American diner fare (hearty breakfasts, hamburgers) along with exquisitely prepared dishes such as stuffed grape leaves, tabbouli, hummos, and other delights. Lots of local color, reasonable prices."

"I've been to Aram's a dozen times over the past couple years. I try to make a point of dropping in for a good solid reasonably priced breakfast whenever I am in Belmont."
