A Family Easter Brunch in Cambridge (That Grown-Ups Will Love, Too)
We hear it every year: you want a place that feels special, but not stuffy. A place where kids can be kids, and the whole table can still enjoy the kind of seafood that tastes like the coast—right here near Alewife in Cambridge.
Our Easter Brunch Celebration is designed for multi-generational groups, with moments that make the day memorable—without turning brunch into a logistical puzzle.
- Easter Bunny photos: 12–2 PM (perfect for that “everyone’s here” picture)
- Face painter + balloon animals: during the event window for extra kid joy
- Kids sundae bar: available all day for an easy, happy finale

Around here, Food is Love—and Easter is the perfect day to put that philosophy on the table.
Where Easter Brunch Meets New England Seafood Tradition
Summer Shack has long been a Cambridge seafood institution, and our Easter brunch is built on what makes the Shack the Shack: a big, celebratory room, a team that knows seafood (without the lecture), and the kind of “let’s order one more thing for the table” spirit that turns brunch into a tradition.
Come for the spring celebration—stay for the raw bar. We’re proud of our shucked-to-order approach and the coastal classics that keep New England in every bite.
And yes—if you’ve got seafood fans in the family, this is where Easter feels uniquely “Cambridge”: close to Alewife, easy to make a meet-up point, and unmistakably rooted in local tradition.
