 I like the Rosebud Diner in Davis Square -- fits all of your criteria.

 try sound bites in ball sq. somerville. higher quality breakfast stuff
 than the greasy spoon diners. very good french toast made from lindell's
 bread baked a block away. definitely a good place to take friends.

     Didn't want to wait on the line in front of Soundbites the other
 day, so we went to Kelly's Diner, about a block away on Broadway.  Very
 friendly and efficient waitstaff, wonderful food, good variety, good
 diner coffee and quite inexpensive.  They have large tables for large
 parties, booths, and counter seats.  They also serve lunch and (early)
 dinner.  I think they said they open at 5:30 am weekdays.

 Try the Pour House on Boylston St just west of the Pru. Great blueberry
 pancakes. Prices are very low. Great place to hang out.

 You could try the B&D Deli in Washington Square on Beacon St. in
 Brookline.  Great place, fast paced, lots of good kosher dishes.  Try
 their knishes and potato pancakes.  You could also try Zaftigs near
 Coolidge Corner on Harvard St.  More expensive, but very good and worth
 the wait that usually exists.  Definately try their banana-stuffed
 french toast.  If you want real cheap, but tasty, you could try Steve's
 Diner in Allston on Harverd Ave near the corner of Brighton Ave.  Real
 cheap, two can eat for roughly 10$.  Their challah french toast is the
 best thing on the menu (which is on the wall...gotta love cheap eats
 ;)  Hope this helps.
