This is the first place in Hingham that made me feel like a local and it's mostly because of Mary, the friendly neighborhood cheesemonger. The selection of cheese rivals anything in the North End and the sandwiches, flatbread, and salads that are always available never disappoint -- and my husband and I have tried them all. But definitely get whatever chef Robert decides to make for the day, whether it's a special lamb pasta, bbq poutine, or potatoes roasted in duck fat. And a chocolate chip cookie. read more

Just got into town to visit my brothers family and this was our lunch stop. Friendly staff that greeted us and made us feel welcome. Some of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted. Overall, great place! read more

Busy midday on Saturday but the service was quick as all the staff had a hop in their step. There was an amazing cheese selection and a choice of other gourmet prepared foods. We had carrot hummus and a cheese plate to go. Everything was delicious and fresh. We will be back to sample more next time we're in Hingham. read more

Meh, nothing I haven't seen at whole foods. Was waiting for the wow factor. Speaking of waiting service is to slow.

What's up, Cuban sandwich? Goddamn delicious. My date (mom) got one of the three-cheese melts and that was pretty rich, too. So much that she couldn't finish it so I got a lunch and a half. Perfect addition to downtown. Lots of eat-in sandwiches and plenty of sundries to take away. Every time I visit I'll check in here, be it for lunch of some new and exciting cheeses, meats, charcuterie, and breads. read more

The absolute best. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Mary, the owner, works the counter and is very welcoming. If you come during a busy lunch time you may have to wait a few minutes -- it's worth it! read more

I was invited to lunch today by two friends who raved about this place. I now see why they love it. For cheese lovers, this is heaven on earth. For people who want a great sandwich, healthy soups and delicious cookies and cupcakes, this is the place. Mary, one of the co-owners, is a sweetheart and was so generous with her time and allowing me to sample a tomato bread soup (simply to die for). The best customer service you'll find anywhere. If you are anywhere close to the South Shore (heck even if you are not close by, get in your car and drive here), you should make Bloomy Rind a must stop for lunch. Fresh bread, cheeses, meats, glutton free food and everything is made fresh. You will love it!!! read more

Moved to the South Shore two weeks ago and have made 2 visits so far. Unbelievable sandwiches and fresh salads. Extremely comfortable atmosphere with top-notch staff. read more

All of their food is delicious. The Mediterranean panini is to die for. Also super helpful picking out cheeses! She asked me simple questions about what cheese I like and was able to find other types that I would enjoy. The kale salad is great too! read more

All I have to say is amazing. And the owners really know how to be owners and have a gift of making everyone who walks in the door feel special. Food is great too!! read more

What a great place! Mary was very enthusiastic and informative, educating us about the wooden rinded gouda we purchased, and the flavors it would produce. It's delicious! Despite a busy moment, she never forgot about us and was eager to help. Can't wait to try their sandwiches. They all look delicious. Great selection of crackers, preserves, and more. Thanks Mary! We'll be back soon. read more

This is a small, bustling artisanal cheese and meat shop with an extremely friendly staff who will welcome you, orient you to all of the choices, and make suggestions on items to sample. We arrived at what seemed like a busy time, and our freshly prepared gourmet sandwiches were ready in about 5 minutes! Food was amazing. Worth a stop even if it's a bit out of the way on your travels. read more

Stopped here with a group of friends after hiking around World's End and needed a bite for lunch. Service was friendly if not a little chaotic since we arrived at peak lunch hour on a weekend. Food was definitely 5 stars; we started with a sampler from the deli case which were all delicious. I had the Cubano with cheddar (not a huge Gouda fan) and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. Would have given this a five star rating except for when my friend went to pay, he nearly got in a fight with another customer because he inadvertently cut a couple customers (there was no line) who were also waiting to pay and was elbowed in the side to point out his error. Aside from that slightly stressful situation, all good though. Would probably do sandwiches to go next time. read more

All these 5-star reviews are no exaggeration. Bloomy Rind has a friendly staff who are excited to help and it's clear that Mary and Robert are incredibly passionate about their crafts! Everything they offer comes with a detailed description upon request- they know their stuff. Their cheese offering is out of this world, and since I first began visiting Bloomy Rind I have learned a ton of new things- not just about cheese, but about the best quality olive oil, honey, dried meats, even crackers. The staff are excited to suggest cheeses based on your likes and they'll always suggest something new to try. They offer SERIOUSLY GOOD sandwiches and soups, not to mention carrot hummus, tapenades, salads, flatbreads and daily specials- the list goes on! I always recommend Bloomy Rind to my friends and family. If you have never visited, get your butt to Hingham for a little piece of heaven! read more

This spot has been transported out of France and into Hingham Square. I've never had a bad meal here. The menu is staple foods with a twist which is a lovely change from the monotony of other lunch spots. Everything is made fresh, which does mean it can take longer, so plan accordingly. The owners are friendly, talented and their passion for their art is evident. Just amazing! read more

Great homemade sandwiches, I have to stop in whenever I am in the area. A small shop, but everything is good. The owner and employees are very friendly and talented. read more

This little shop is such a delight to visit when I'm in the mood for some seriously decadent food. They have healthy options which I never get once I walk in and smell the warm bread and assortment of cheeses. Don't go here if you are in a rush, everything is pretty much made to order so be patient, but if you want some delicious and well thought out food I would highly recommend going here. read more

This place is AMAZING from the superior food and cheeses to the extremely helpful and friendly owner.... I walked in there for the first time and they made me try so many things and were so happy to do so. I left with a petite prosciutto and basil sandwich with a sharp cheese, some homemade carrot hummus and olive tapenade. I can't wait to go back there! read more

This place is a dream come true. There is not ONE thing I haven't completely lost my mind over. Everything is better than the next.... Just when I think it's not possible.... I don't understand what Erica H. is talking to about. Every time I've been in there the employees have bent over backwards to provide superior customer service. Every single one of them. And Mary? Get outta here... No one has ever been more welcoming and bright and cheery as she is EVERY time I walk in. You feel like you've known her your whole life. This place is heaven on earth and for a little, amazing hole in the wall they have something for everyone! read more

A much needed break for a way too long round-trip from NYC to Scituate, MA.....My partner and I just had a very long drive, a very stressful work encounter, a disappointing lunch in a nearby town, and were in need of some type of reprieve before our long ride back to NYC. We took a detour into Hingham, MA for ice cream (Nona's was excellent), but as my partner was getting a sundae - and kvetching that the detour better be worth the extra 45 minutes added to our already long drive, I was looking for a sandwich to fill the void from my earlier disappointing encounter with some bland chicken soup. Guess what I stumbled upon the same block at Nona's? The Bloomy Rind...with a sign in the front window that said "Top Sandwich, Travel & Leisure, 2018". Did I really read that correctly in the tiny downtown of Hingham, MA??? I had to go in. Bingo! As soon as I walked in, I knew I had hit the jackpot! I explained my plight to Mary, one of the owners, and said that my friend Frank, needed a boost. She made Frank the most fantastic Cubano sandwich ever, and me a veggie sandwich with more flavor than anything I have ever tasted in the Big Apple. The atmosphere, the food, and the hosts totally transformed a lousy day into a good one. We packaged up a good portion of our sandwiches for the ride home. Along with a mix of music ranging from Frank Sinatra to the Rolling Stones, we barely noticed the 6 hour drive or kvetched about the relentless traffic as we toggled between singing and munching on our sandwiches from our now favorite sandwich shop. My only recommendation is to get your sandwich at the Bloomy Rind BEFORE you get the ice cream sundae at Nona's...leave enough room in your belly for the delectable sandwiches...save the dessert for later. read more

If you don't get the carrot hummus you're doing it wrong. Basically everything you get here is gold.

I've been here only once but will very likely return. There was a rather confusing array of very delicious looking foods there when I visited on a busy Friday. It was a bit chaotic, but staff there were very nice. I ordered the Butcher sandwich , which was very good and worth waiting for, although the baguette was almost too crusty. I think I'll try the Cuban next time. read more

Great food and helpful staff. I had them cater a work lunch and the staff was very helpful in suggesting proper amounts, sides, and variety of sandwiches. Everything was fantastic. My clients were happy and Bloomy Rind made me look great. Their Kale salad is my new favorite way to eat kale. read more

Bloody Rind is a fantastic place to go for lunch and dinner take out foods. My daughter and I love the carrot humus made fresh each day. The cheese platter for holiday parties is delicious with a beautiful assortment of soft and hard cheeses. Every time I go to Bloomy Rind I feel like I'm at a European cafe. read more

You can taste that the food served was prepared with passion. There is a wide selection of salads, sandwiches, cheeses, and special dishes. A gem in Hingham! read more

Seriously the best sandwiches in town. Friendly staff and always a home run. If you are entertaining, definitely stop in and get recommendations for a cheese board. Can't go wrong! read more

I looked up restaurants in Hingham online and saw that this place has great reviews so I checked it out to grab lunch before heading to the beach. I looked up what they had for a menu online so i had a plan when I got there, but that changed when I walked in. They had these amazing looking sandwiches made and ready to go and also some flatbreads ready. I ended up getting one of each and both were so full of flavor and delicious. The customer service here was great too, I will definitely be returning! read more

My new favorite place for sandwiches, snacks and other savory delights. I heartily recommend the Mediterranean sandwich if you are looking for something hearty, comforty and a lot messy. The other sandwiches are also really a treat and Robert is always coming up with new specials. The salads are great and lighter fare (although still with some mighty tasty cheese added to the wonderful veggies and fruits.) I have only gazed longingly at the cupcakes but have had the pleasure of a truly magnificent cheese platter with olives, quince paste, peach chutney, and macadamia nuts artfully presented with the sensual range of cheeses Mary helped me to select. The platter was an edible work of art and I highly recommend the Bloomy Rind to all who love cheese, tasty food, and friendly people. Just beware: you may think you are just going to go there for a "special treat" and will end up coming back again and again. read more

Mary greets you warmly and suddenly you're lost in the beautiful, creatively prepared foods and dizzying selection of cheeses. There is, blessedly, no escape. You let go and order lunch and choose a lovely selection of cheeses for tonight's appetizers or a special upcoming event. This is a special place. We're lucky to have Bloomy Rind in our town! read more

Even before moving to Hingham, I would come out of my way to get lunch from Bloomy Rind. This place is the best. Ask Mary, the owner, for suggestions. she'll never steer you wrong! Hingham is lucky to have such a wonderful spot! read more

I'm not going to write a multiple paragraphs about this place because it can be described in just one word: AMAZING!!

This shop is the closest thing to the Italian Market in Philadelphia that I have found, and my husband and I have made this a Saturday, post puppy-kindergarten, lunch routine. Mary, one of the owners, is a lovely person, and she willingly shares her knowledge of cheese (and lots of samples). She LOVES food. Do not miss the Mediterranean panini (get the carrot hummus, if they have it) or the kale salad. read more

We lovingly call this "our cheese shop" to our friends and family. We have been here frequently for both cheeses and sandwiches after moving to the area a year ago. The staff REALLY know their stuff and are friendly. Mary has gone out of her way to answer our questions, let use taste cheeses, help us create cheese plates, and pair crackers and sides with our plates. She makes a point of learning her customers names and faces. This is the way a business should be run. Even if you aren't into cheeses, you should visit and just try a few, you can taste before you buy. I recommend the Humbolt Fog! The sandwiches are amazing- hidden gem really. If you are in the mood for a sub/panini/sandwich get it here and you can sit and eat at the rustic table inside the shop. The meats are amazing and there is always something new to try. I have shared these cheeses with friends and family and will continue to do so and continue to purchase my cheeses here. I enjoy being an informed consumer and buying high quality products from people that love what they do. read more

Okay I stalked them until they finally opened now I am so happy I did.. This is a weekly stop for me. They do a lot more than cheese, but obviously that's the main attraction..Right now I want to talk about the fact that have have several kinds of Raw Sheep and/or Goat cheese which makes them a must go and try out these cheeses.. The owners, Mary and Robert are hilarious, and humor helps digest cheese. Not that you will need help if you buy raw cheese (especially goat and sheep) since it is like 70% easier to digest that pasteurized, so you can eat tons and still be nice to your colon. Oh and the olives, "arroy mak" very good bueno bueno...They also have a huge farmers table in the middle of the store and they encourage you to come and sit and try stuff. They are bringing the community together thru high caliber artisan cheeses. What could be better than that. They have a good selection of fairly local cheeses too! read more

Great gourmet sandwiches and a different, beautiful spread of food possibilities every day. This place is outstanding.

The BEST sandwich in Hingham! They have 4 to 6 to choose from and always offer a vegetarian option. They have one large table with stools so it it not the place for a business meeting. In the summer we grab the sandwiches and go sit on the beach. They also have great soup and of course they have great cheeses. read more

The people here are so friendly and helpful. Mary remembers us when ever we come in and what we like to get. Their chesses, bagettes, and salami always impress us. This is the best place to come and get chesse, other appetizers, and sandwichs, whether its for a day with the family or a party. read more

stopped in for a quick bite and was treated so well..like an old friend!...Best soup..and kale salad ever!..Will most definately make it a frequent stop...hard to leave without a purchase..everything is so so good! Glad this shop is so close ..Owner /chef is talented and friendly! read more

Seriously amazing. Owner/proprietor is so friendly and welcoming. The food is FANTASTIC. Got a caprese sandwich, the best Caesar salad I've maybe ever eaten and the beet & stilton salad. Oh and the chocolate chip cookie I got afterwards was still warm out of the oven. Amazing. read more

This was where we had our last vacation meal before flying home to San Francisco and it was amazing! We were greeted when we went up to the counter and had to wait a few minutes. The women working here are so friendly and truly love what they do. Our questions were answered easily and food choices were made. Delicious, enjoyable, yummy lunch. We had fallen in love with New England and this restaurant was the perfect end to our trip. Thank you! read more
