This is a fantastic indoor market. Such a perfect place to go for a coffee, a doughnut, a sandwich just looking around they have everything. Plenty of seating for everybody and a gigantic TV for viewing the game. If you've got kids, this is a wonderful place to go. They have seating on the inside and the outside, but if it's raining outside, this place would be the ticket. You do have to have a code for the bathroom. read more

After walking around the Long Wharf, we stopped in at the Boston Public Market. The Boston Public Market is an indoor marketplace that sells products from New England vendors such as crafts, housewares, and food and drink. The Boston Public Market wasn't crowded and chaotic, so it was a nice place to relax, as well as use the bathroom. They also had seating for people just to hang out. We stopped at Red Apple Farm and purchased flights of cider for $10 (the samples we had were were black cherry, cranberry, and blueberry), and then I bought nearly $50 worth of nuts at Q's Nuts.

Smaller and sleepier than anticipated, with dim lighting by the bathrooms Vendors were friendly, and the space was relatively clean (but could use better signage about bathrooms/exits/etc.) Worth a visit if you're in the area, but I wouldn't make a stop for it read more

Love a great market/food hall when visiting a city and this one is awesome! All of my friends got bagels (which were fantastic!) But I opted for clam chowder at 10A from Red's. Piping hot, loaded with clams, potatoes, rich and silky cream. Great start to the day. Shopped around the market. Artwork, jams, spices, face painting and coloring for the kiddos. Something for everyone! read more

A great place to find different good quality food and a great variety of other items. Seating may be limited at times as it gets very busy. We tried the lobster rolls at Red"s Best and food them to be fresh and delicious. We also tried some nuts and purchased some to take home. Excellent product. read more

Not sure what you're in the mood for? This place will definitely make you decide! A small but quaint food hall. They have numerous options from coffee, beer, bagels, donuts, etc. I can see it being super busy during prime time but definitely a experience. I am visiting from NC so prices were a bit high but nothing too bad. Their bagels were delicious and so was their coffee. Definitely a place to visit if you are in the area. read more

Great market! There are so many vendors of so many types of things for sale. From jewelry to home decor, coffee to cheese. On Saturdays, the farmer's market happens on the street right outside of the public market so you can purchase fresh produce at great prices ($0.99 for a pint of raspberries!!) However things don't stay open late so it's more of a place to visit during lunch. Also, prices for food are a bit on the higher end. A fun stop to buy some goodies and have a look around at what local vendors have to offer. read more

Loved all the opportunities in Boston to shop small businesses and Boston Public Market had plenty to offer. Having an indoor space with many vendors regardless of the weather is a wonderful option. read more

I really love a food hall. And I really like the idea of Boston Public Market but I have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed and disappointed in this place. Earlier in the day, I had visited a different touristy food hall and I decided I didn't want to come back for dinner so we came here instead. While I do appreciate the potential of this place, I wasn't impressed. There are a good variety of shops in here. First, it's easy to find and get into (walking there from our hotel on our way to TD Garden) but there were so many doors that you couldn't go through to exit. I thought this was really weird and inconvenient. Second, the place is an unorganized hodge-podge mess. It felt hard to focus because the rows didn't make sense. Even though there was a good variety of places to eat, it was hard to choose because I felt like it was all over the place and the stands all kind of blended into each other. Also, it was pretty expensive for even the simplest items, like a turkey sandwich. Third, the security guard needs to cool it and not follow people around like they're criminals. read more

First time to Boston Public Market I usually go to Quincy Market when I'm in town, but it was closer to my hotel so I decided to have lunch here. It's a bit smaller than Quincy, but still had a lot of great shops. I ended up having tamales from Mr Tamole and Noodle lab. Bathrooms were clean and there was sufficient seating area. read more

I happened to be staying near the Boston Public Market and was asked if I had ever been there, but I actually had never known it existed. I loved a good food hall, so once I learned what the building was, I eagerly ran over to check it out. The market was like other many others with a variety of interesting food, bakery, and beverage items for either immediate consumption or as packaged goods to take home. There was also a liquor stall with a slew of interesting, local beers and ciders. Some of the shops had samples as well. It was a really fun place to explore! read more

Love a market that serves the community in a positive way. I prefer this place over quincy market. It is nicely air conditioned. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is $3 for 3 hours. And there's more real new england to savor. This market features alot of small new england artisans and regional food producers. So you get more of a real new england vibe than tourist vibe. read more

This food "mall" has potential, but a lot more food options and tables to enjoy them in would really help. The hot chocolate spot offered some nice hot tasty drinks. The donuts were very good I'm told by my travel buddies but I'm more of a savory girl. The popover vendor had some really great ones. There was a seafood vendor that had a nice supply of raw seafood to purchase as well as some cooked options. It was ok but not enough options currently available. Not worth the hike in Feb. read more

Fun stop, but I would have liked to see more choices. Things slow down early in the evening so it's a better lunch destination. Lobster rolls and doughnuts were the highlight, I was a bit surprised that twice the person taking orders for coffee (meaning at two different locations) had never heard of "Boston style" coffee. Of course in both cases the cashiers were i-Gen, who don't generally drink coffee, so I'm not sure how I thought they would recognize a phrase from the 1970s. So, I had to explain, double sugar, double milk, but they didn't get that either so I just had my coffee as I usually do, black and bitter, like my heart. read more

A large group of us were intending to get lunch at Quincy Market, but at the suggestion of someone, a smaller group of us splintered off to go to Boston Public. He wanted to specifically visit one restaurant there (subsequent review by me), but in general, we were all glad to make the trek of a couple of blocks to come here. Besides being much less crowded, it was much less of a tourist trap. The options for meals and shopping were quite interesting. I wish they had more tables though, these fill up quickly. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. For those in the city this place is probably a godsend for them, featuring a variety of shops and eats. As someone that was only visiting the city and lives in the suburbs, I found the place too cluttered and chaotic. I'm not agoraphobic by any means, but this place was very overwhelming, and not something I'd ever go back to even if I had to move to the city. Its chaos, but organized chaos at least. Even getting past that, the prices were on the high end, and didn't really seem worth, and a way to take advantage of people in the city. read more

"Sweethearts kiss down at the market. Down at the market all the world Seems to simmer" (Jethro Tull) What a fun place to shop and stroll! They house 30 or so local artist and food vendors so you can shop for fresh foods, prepared meals, crafts, and specialty items. They have it ll here, pretty much anything you can think of for home use or for a really nice gift - fresh produce, meat and poultry, eggs, dairy, seafood, baked goods, specialty items, crafts, and prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Everything here has a New England connection. We were in Boston scouting out activities for a 2025 Convention and we were so happy to chat with Laurel from Laurel Greenfield Art about collaborating on a hands-on painting opportunity for our guests. She was fantastic and so very helpful. We chatted with her for a good half hour. read more

I am not a review writer, but this place has earned a five star-- we came for ice cream and realized minutes after closing we had left our daughters (expensive) retainers behind. The manager of the facility promptly returned our call, was able to find the lost retainers, and stayed well passed closing until my husband could return to get them. It was above and beyond, and made these out of towners oh so grateful! read more

It's a decent food hall, but when you gotta go, you gotta go. You have to make a purchase to get the bathroom code.

Walked in to see what was in here. I didn't think it was that big until I started walking around. There are quite a few places to grab food! Seating available throughout. Multiple entrances / exits. FYI - Have to make a purchase and ask for the code for the restroom. read more

Wow, this place is definitely worth a visit. Both inside and outside, there are vendors galore. Need groceries? Bagels? Coffee? Donuts? It's all here! The market is constantly abuzz and you may find it difficult to find a place to sit, but don't let that deter you. It's worth a stop. We had breakfast there (separate review coming) and had it not been that I found it worrisome to transport peppers back to Florida, I'd have definitely gotten some of those, too. Again, lots of variety. You'd be hard pressed to find something that does not interest you. read more

This is one of the many indoor markets with multiple stalls and many different people selling different things. From getting a breakfast bagel in the morning to buying seafood later on or coming in for a drink at the bar at night, they've got everything here all day long. Food items, marketplace with a outdoor farmers market is great for all your shopping needs. There are many kiosks inside as well with several different unique items such as wooden bowls or vegan food and even a liquor store. This was my go to place for a morning bagel sandwich as well, as picking up some canned seafood from the famous Boston area to bring home to friends and family. read more

I always love markets like these, so simple yet fun. The feeling of just walking around checking out each stall and grabbing bites is wonderful. No exception for this one. Busy, roomy, the way they do business is wonderful. Lots of selection more than just food. Spices, pasta, candles, lessons, juice, plenty more! I will warn you that things are really, really pricey. I suppose just buying things for fun works, but using this place as a regular quick bite place or lunch place seems a bit costly. Business owners were polite and helpful, it really helped make my afternoon well. I left with lots of fun merchandise and a full stomach. I did enjoy the fudge and juice I got, and the spice container I got was cool. I did enjoy my visit here, I just really enjoy markets. Thumbs up! read more

It's a great food hall with many options of food and desserts. It also has a fish and fruit market and some artisan shops.

While not as large as Quincy Market, this is also a Market worth visiting! The parking deck is right on top of the market, so circle the building and enter, then take the elevator straight down to the market. There are food and coffee vendors, excellent pastrami, bagels, etc. read more

This is a super and most clean and well organized space filled with prepared and takeaway food and products and a large variety of vendors--not all food. There are some indoor picnic style tables available to eat in. From soup to nuts to donuts to popovers, there is a great selection of what I understand to be Boston based businesses. Awesome! We enjoyed looking and talking to some of the vendors and businesses present. Many offer samples upon request. Right outside is a huge produce/farmers market with so many fresh and well priced produce-sure this is seasonal but unaware of schedule. There are clean restrooms available, this location is close to T and 25 min walk to train station. Great place to check out. read more

There's nothing "wrong" with this place as a public market... per se... it's just not what I envision when I think of a public market. If those words conjure images in your head, like... colorful mountains of fresh produce, fish stalls and just caught seafood, farmers hawking their locally harvested wild plants, well, me too, and you'll be in for a disappointment like I was. This is an indoor flea market basically, with an entire aisle devoted to run of the mill commercial beers, a few snack vendors, and a bunch of crafty stuff. Everyone is friendly, everyone is helpful, everything is just pricey enough to remind you that you're at a tourist destination, but nothing is "Oh my god I have to get this one Boston only thing." Lots of better ways to spend the hour or two this place takes to fully explore. read more

This is the market to come to if you are going to a market in Boston. We went to a few other markets but Boston Public Markets was our favorite. Nothing here felt like it was part of a chain (not sure if it was or not) and everything was delicious. We walked around a few times to get the lay of the land first but in order to make the best decision, I think that was a good call. While we were doing our initial laps we stop by a little shop in the market and grabbed a drink. The drinks were very well priced, which I was actually pretty shocked about. We ended up grabbing food from The Popover Lady (my favorite), a pasta place, a deli and a doughnut shop. On the way out we even got an apple cider. Everything was good and there was plenty of seating. read more
