So I guess I am a frequent offender(or so the little crown next to my profile tells me). If loving Blunch is an offense, please take me to jail now. This tiny sandwich shop remains in my humble opinion, the best sandwich shop I have come across in all my travels around these United States. Located off Mass Ave, you are most likely to encounter a line that extends sometimes out the door. It's not so much the lack of seating( 8 or so) but rather the limited waiting area. Another thing you are most likely to encounter at Blunch? A doctor! With no T access and stationed across Boston Medical, most of your patrons will be future or current interns/doctors. That's ok, maybe you can get a free diagnosis while you eat The creative genius behind these sandwich works cannot be duplicated. The Provençal, the bird, giving tree, big Papi; the list goes on and on. The entire menu is phenomenal. Feeling lucky? Why not go with the whim of the day. A chefs creation with mostly unusual pairings that somehow ALWAYS works. There is also plenty to satisfy your sweet tooth. A visit to Blunch is not complete without the famous chocolate chip cookie. Not feeling like a cookie today? Get one anyways, thank me later. Actually, if you don't get one, I'm not sure your visit counts..... read more

Stopped here today for lunch with my friend And got the Giving Tree sandwich plus a chocolate chip cookie. The sandwich was a grilled turkey and cheddar with honey mustard, shaved green apple, and greens. The ratio of filling to bread was very nice as the bread wasn't too thick and they didn't skimp on the toppings. I loved the sharpness of the cheddar paired with the sweet and tangy favor of the apple and mustard. It was a great combo. The sandwich was slight grilled too long for my taste so the bread was extra crunchy and made my gums hurt, but it wasn't a huge deal. I also had to try the famous chocolate chip cookie that people rave about but it really wasn't that spectacular. Sure, I enjoyed it, but I've had way better CCC's elsewhere. The edges were great - very chewy and crispy but the cookie as a whole was a little too sweet. It was loaded with chocolate and seemed like more chocolate than actual cookie. Great for chocolate lovers but an overload for me. I've heard great things about their egg sandwiches and bagel sandwiches as well! If you're looking for a quality sandwich, come to Blunch! read more

My friend and I decided to trek here since I read through the restaurant's accolades on Yelp. Lots of people raved over the bird panini, which has chicken, roasted tomatoes, greens, fontina cheese, and artichoke aioli. I ordered that with spicy aioli added onto it. My friend and I waited about 5-10 minutes for our sandwiches. The tables serendipitously cleared out by the time we got them, a blessing in this tight seating area. My friend ordered the Big Papi panini since I'd told him it's apparently another beloved sandwich here. I really liked the crunch of the bread and softness on the inside and the pattern pressed onto it. The chicken was good, and the spicy aioli wasn't spicy but it contributed a nice, slightly vinegar-y taste to the panini. I also liked the oven roasted tomatoes but I felt like there were too few. The cheese and greens barely registered in my taste buds. On the other hand, the big papi was excellent. Overall, it was good. read more

Blunch is easily the best food place near Boston Medical Center - great sandwiches, always busy, and nice outdoor seating. Have come too many times to count! read more

Many people who work in the area love this place, so I decided to check it out. Food I've tried: - THE PROVENCAL ($9): the panini bread was nice and crisp, and the rest of the filling made it a hearty meal. Everything was seasoned well - The sandwich was good, and I have certainly come back to this place. It is a solid place to get a meal for a reasonable price. That said, I don't really see all the hype about it as the flavor profile isn't very novel. I would say it is a good place to get lunch if you are in the area, but I wouldn't come all the way to this neighborhood just for this. Atmosphere: - The shop is very small with limited seating. With COVID, they have closed off the entire store, and you can only order from the door. There are 2 tables outdoor. Service: - You often find a long line at this place especially during the usual lunch time hours. So it is definitely recommended to order online ahead, and just pick it up. If you order in person, expect around 15 minute wait for the food. Overall: - Solid lunch time option for a reasonable price read more

Solid place for a toasted sandwich! There's several options for egg and bagel sandwiches, but I can only comment on lunch so far. I got the Lower End East side with roast beef, horseradish cream coleslaw, and fried shallots on rye (aI asked for it without the dill pickle chips that usually come with it). I didn't taste the shallots but the sandwich was very good. The rye was well toasted and will definitely make your gums a bit blistered, but very worth it. Blunch has about 7-8 seats inside and has a couple of benches outside. Parking may be a bit tough but I see a lot of people grabbing the sandwiches to go. read more

This review is for the Bird on Fire. It was a pretty tasty sandwich! The panini bread was light and crisp, bacon was on point, the aioli was flavorful, but the chicken needed a bit more seasoning. I also had some really tough pieces of chicken that I couldn't bite. Other than that, solid sandwich - definitely going to try more of the menu. read more

Blunch finds a way to pack four eggs worth of, well, egg in to a $5 breakfast sandwich. Give it up for casserole bakes! Herbed, flavorful and fluffy, the ova brick you'll find wedged between two halves of a tender grain-forward hard roll is more than substantial. For another buck and change, you can bring the meat (sliced ham, bacon or sausage) and you should definitely make it spicy - the house made spread is mayo based and pleasantly piquant in its heat. The breakfast menu is fairly limited, with Egg and Bagelwiches dominating the morning board. You'll find a few pastries - scones, muffins, croissants and the like - along with a cooler of juices and a selection of hot dranks. The lunch stuff had me drooling/bookmarking a return visit for the midday. Expect to grab and go, though, as the counter stools fill quickly. The kicker? Fun little supporting efforts for local non-profits. Stuff a buck in to the water donation bucket for animal welfare, or a bring a pair of socks for the homeless. Resulting warm fuzzies, no charge. read more

Stumbled across Blunch on a blog about the 50 Places you MUST eat at if you live in Boston. Having just moved to Boston this past August, I've made it my mission to eat my way through this list. So I bundled up and braved the Arctic cold (I moved from CA, give me a break) to try Blunch on a blustery Saturday morning. Located on a quaint little corner across from the Boston Medical Center, this place is TINY! But I think that adds to its charm. I was promptly greeted when I came in the door. I decided to try one of their Eggwiches. I ordered a simple Eggwich with cheddar, tomato, and spicy aioli sauce. I also HAD to try the infamous chocolate chip cookie I had read all about in the blog and from other Yelp reviews. The service was fast and friendly - I found a spot at the counter and made myself cozy. The Eggwich was delicious and came out piping hot. Fluffy egg, fresh bread, and delicious sauce. Yum! And the cookie. Oh, the chocolate chip cookie. I would make the trek back to Blunch JUST for one of the chocolate chip cookies. Thick and crunchy on the outside with the perfect gooey-ness to the center. And chunks of rich chocolate. (Cue mouth watering). Cannot wait to come back and try one of their Bagel sandwiches for lunch. Weird name, great food. read more

This place is worth the walk. I can say that because I walked 1.8 miles to get to this place. It was all those great photos on yelp that did it for me. This place is close to a hospital and easily missed. It's kinda of like a lower level apartment apartment. When you walk in it's warm and inviting. The people who work there are so happy are at least that is what they project. I had the turkey bagel sandwich. I added Boursin because they made it there. Yep, you guessed right it was scrumptious. I wished I would have found this place sooner. The sandwich was a great size, they caliche their own turkey and with a smile. My dude had the blt and the bacon did not disappoint. The thickness was perfect and it was not to salty. When I make my health trip to Boston this place is a must stop. Oh and those cookies just say eat me!! They are a lovely bunch of calories on your tummy. read more

Horrible name. Blunch...belch, felch, blarch, blurch...yuck! First step in the door - Guy Fieri marketing garbage. Not a fan of Guy Fieri, but I get how Blunch is trading on his name (I tried one of his crappy restaurants in his hometown of Santa Rosa, CA before he was famous and it was shitty.) So, how the heck did I give Blunch 4 stars? Cute spot. Great food - egg sandwich was awesome! Friendly staff. Guy Fieri is a d-bag and I don't hold it against them! I'd return...good stuff. 4 stars. read more

Watch the step at the doorway - unless you are totally oblivious, they do warn you! Tiny corner spot here, with a few counter style seats in the small front room and a counter where you order at in the back. The blackboard menus clearly lists name, descriptions, and price. Can't ask for anything more! Except perhaps one of those enticing pastries sitting there on the counter. Courtesy water was conveniently located against the small divider wall, and coffee was self serve on the side so you can get it the way you want. We ordered and paid at the counter and took our drinks and pastries to a recently vacated spot in the small dining area. The owner noticed and came around to wipe up our table space and later returned with our freshly made sandwiches in hand. My DC picked The Colonial $7.99 (smoked turkey breast, english cucumber, black & red raspberry preserves, greens, swiss cheese, multi-grain) on french, while I opted for The Loaf $8.50 (stuffed all angus beef meatloaf, stewed tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, sour dough), and we traded halves. The French bread held up better than the sourdough in retaining its crispness despite the moistness of the fillings. Both sandwich creations were tasty, but I preferred The Loaf just a tad. I completely decimated my two halves and still had room for something sweet. Their chocolate cookies were big, and generously studded with chocolate chunks $2.34. Cute little donut pillows speckled with sugar crystals called out to us for $1.25. We were pleasantly surprised by the dab of Nutella filling hidden in the petite beignet. We fortunately managed to find a nearby meter spot on this, our first visit to Blunch. read more

I love everything about Blunch except it's location - South End is just a slightly harder neighborhood to get to from other parts of Boston. But I'll make the trek even in today's 20 degree windy Boston weather. If I lived nearby, I would be here every single day they are opened (be aware - not opened on Sundays!). Their eggwiches and coffee crumb cake are SO GOOD. I love people watching at their window counter as I enjoy the food. Blunch is a cute little breakfast/coffee/sandwich shop on a corner of one of the pretty streets of South End. By now I've been here a few times and tried a few things including eggwich, bagelwich and baked goods. The eggwich and bagelwich are super flexible - you can add whatever you want but they have some special / suggested combinations on the chalkboard below the counter with the prices of each addition ingredient. I've been getting the eggwich without cheese, add turkey, fresh tomato and spicy aioli (which isn't really spicy at all but costs $0.10 and gives really good flavor and moisture to the sandwich). A few things that makes an eggwich one of the best sandwiches you will ever have - the bread is fresh and soft, egg is heavenly, ingredients are always fresh and comes out to a price of $5 to $7. It's simple, but it always manages to be amazing and that's all you need. The sandwich will get you to a good full, which is why I'd choose Blunch over many classic brunch restaurants (which sometimes serves just average, greasy food and get you to a food coma state aka I-don't-want-to-do-anything-the-rest-of-the-day). The coffee crumb cake is also so bomb but my boyfriend loves the churros more. Their staff are also super friendly. Get yourself settled in and cozy at one of the high stool seats and your food will be brought to you when ready! read more

This is a super cozy place open for breakfast and lunch. When I say super cozy, I mean suupper small. There's enough space for maybe 8 people to sit; everyone else just needs to take it to go. I've been for their sandwiches as well as their eggwich. Everything is under $10 which is great for hungry students. I've had their Giving Tree sandwich, which is a yummy turkey/apple sandwich. Next time I might add on their spicy aioli since it was a little dry. As for the eggwich, it was super yummy and filling. The $5 base is pretty standard with a fluffy egg, cheese, and bun. But the toppings make it sing (bacon, chorizo, aioli, roasted peppers, tomatoes, Boursin cheese, etc etc etc). I'm definitely coming back for all my future breakfast needs. read more

Got lunch here on the weekend and it was pretty crowded! The layout of the place is a little odd and makes it feel cramped if there's a lot of people, and it definitely isn't ideal for groups with more than two or three people. Additionally, most of the options are sandwiches (or "Bagelwiches"), so this is not the place to go if you're looking for a lot of variety on the menu. That being said, the food I got was great! I ordered an onion bagelwich with egg, which was the perfect amount of food at a good price. The pastries behind the counter also looked very good although I didn't order one. Overall, I would say this place is great if you're by yourself or with one other friend and looking to get a sandwich or something quick to eat. read more

So cute, great spot for sandwiches and coffee!! Very friendly workers. Would highly recommend!

The meltdown is to die for... literally. It is so good and so rich. Thank goodness it is right acros from a hospital. The lines can get crazy so you are better off getting there before or after the lunch crowd. read more

What I ordered: The Bird ($7.99) , Reese's Chocolate Chip Cookie ($2.00) Pros: - Busy lunch spot within walking distance of the hospital where I work. - Known for being featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. - Portions are quite large for the price, I was already full after eating half a panini - The chicken portions are generous and their menu items are all the comfort food type. - Their chocolate chip cookies are thick and delicious. If you save your cookie and heat it up in the microwave, it's even better because you get a really soft, gooey inside. Cons: - there is very minimal seating inside the restaurant so there is probably space for 10 people max. Not recommended for group lunch. Better for take out and go back to eat at Boston Medical, if you work there. - Does not take American Express, bring cash. - One downside about the sandwich was the tomato made parts of the panini soggy when pressed, but this is not a big deal at all. read more

Firstly, this place was smaller than I thought. There's a few outdoor seating spots but inside, there's like one counter with a couple of barstools and then one small table in the middle. The service here was very welcoming and sweet. I thought their sandwiches were pretty tasty, but not mind blowing. For the location though, it might be your best choice compared to what's nearby. Along with everyone else, I'd also recommend getting their chocolate chip cookie; especially if you like a gooey center. read more

Just had my first experience at Blunch and ordered the salmon bagel sandwich. It was terrible. First of all, the bagel itself was one of the worst ive ever had. It was stale, soggy, and chewy. It was like one of the those generic bagged bagels you buy at the supermarket. The tomato, onion salad they heaped on there was bad too. The worst part about it though was the smoked salmon. I think it must have turned because it had this like sour fishy taste to it. I feel terrible right now. read more

I can't believe I work down the street and had no idea about this place. Hands down the best sandwiches in Boston. I got the chicken sandwhich and can't stop thinking about it.

If someone travels 40 miles to your establishment to order a dozen cookies but the internet is down, you sell them a dozen cookies. It fosters good will and encourages the patron to return. You don't say well you have $30 so you can only have 9. Most people I know no longer carry that much cash as we're becoming a tap transaction society. I made the trip because my wife and daughter like the cookies and they are good. However the attitude that I encountered from the owner is that this is an establishment built on greed not service. It will be a long while before I go through this effort again. read more

Been here several times and love their pressed sandwiches!! It is a small, cozy store front in the South End (only has seating for maybe 6 people). My favorite sandwich so far is The Provençal. It's one of their Guy Fieri recommended sandwiches (yeah he's been here!). I love the goat cheese, cashew pesto and Kalamata love purée in it; I think it makes the sandwich out of this world! I've also had The Bird (another Guy sandwich!) from here and it also was really good. This is definitely one of my favorite places in Boston for a sandwich! read more

This is a very hard review to write. How can one explain the way Blunch bagel sandwiches float into one's mid-morning dreams on Saturday after a night out? They gently nudge you awake and remind you the end to your current misery is around the corner; the cure is out there. Your Saturday morning revival ends with 'Make It Spicy' and starts with 'Everything BLTC Add Egg'. Sure, you may get a tug to "stay in bed, you can just go to Dunks," but then you remember the King himself swears by this place. That's right. I'm taking about Guy Feiri. He put his Flavor Town Kiss seal of approval on this place, and suddenly you find yourself swinging open the door of the welcoming, neighborhood spot - Blunch. The folks that run the place treat every customer the same regardless of any visible evidence of the mistakes one made the night before; they greet you warmly and serve you eagerly. Next Saturday, I'll see you at Blunch. Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

Just had a Delicious Chicken sub - very nice staff and fast! Great experience overall and very good food!

Cute corner cafe with limited seating (definitely not a place for groups) as a place to grab a quick bite for lunch. It's right across the street from the Medical Center, so it gets pretty crowded during lunchtime with people in scrubs :-) There are plenty of options for sandwiches, salads, eggwiches, and bagels. The Colonial sandwich (turkey, cucumbers, berry preserves) was on toasted multigrain bread, and the perfect portion. The berry preserves was a nice touch, and was not overused in the sandwich (aka not sogging the sandwich/oversweetening it). The special (the Dilla) or chicken quesadillas, were perfectly crunchy that came complete with a side of sour cream and salsa. Solid quick bite in South End. read more

Wow. Blunch is really great. Knowing it's often busy, I made a mental plan to take food to go and eat it somewhere else in the area if it was too busy. However, when I arrived (12:45 on a Saturday), there were plenty of seats. By the time we left, though, the place was filling up, so it's all about timing. The first thing you hear about it is - you have to have the chocolate chunk cookie. So, we all had one. The cookie is delicious, thick and chewy, with gooey chocolate chunks. It's somewhat reminiscent of a cookie from Levain Bakery in New York in that it is perfectly chewy and gooey, but different. The sandwiches are delicious as well. I ordered the bird on fire (the bird sandwich, but with added chipotle sauce). The sandwich had sliced chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, roasted tomatoes, artichoke aioli, and greens on panini-ed baguette. Amazing. The sandwiches are also pretty filling, I only ate half and saved the other half for dinner. Next time, I'd like to try one of the egg-wiches. The egg on the sandwiches is similar to at Flour, where I is a thick, fluffy, probably casserole-baked egg. Looks incredible, and I love egg sandwiches (and eggs in general). Will definitely return! read more

Can I just really take a pause to show my appreciation for this place: it's a honestly a gem. Blunch is a cozy little cafe and you be ashamed of yourself for passing by this place and never stopping to take in all its glory. The staff here are so polite. I have had The Boco, chocolate chip cookie, the Provençal, and I'm sure I'll end trying every single thing they have to offer (minus bacon because I don't eat pork). Listen, the Boco, get it. I'm not vegetarian but I wanted to try a veggie burger and I'm so glad justice was served to stomach. It was my first time having a veggie burger; I literally melted at the first bite. The cookie baked just like your grandmother made em. The Provençal, when I tell you I'm not even crazy about olives (I tried olives in 4 different dishes in my life) but something about the olive purée in this sandwich adds the perfect touch to balance everything. Words aren't enough, you've got to just head over there for yourself. read more
