Cutest little deli! Sells a lot of cheese varieties as well as oils and seasonings. All of their sandwiches look great--would recommend if you want a little bit more of an elevated take on your typical sandwich. High quality ingredients, and a lot of thought behind what's put in them. Got the #5 Italian Sandwich which was delicious! One of the best Italian subs I've had--extremely flavorful and balanced. Great bread to filling ratio. Definitely on the smaller side, so it was a little pricey ($17), but personally I felt like it was a solid serving--and all their sandwiches come with a side. Will definitely be coming back to try their other sandwiches! read more

Just tried the chicken and chorizo sandwich. Great idea adding the chorizo. It made it interesting. Will order it again.

On a rainy day I dropped in to order a to go sandwich at Crane River Cheese Club, chef Brian Poe's latest venture (he owns Tip Tap Room next door and is a partner at Back Bay's Parish Cafe). I ordered the Sage and Peppercorn marinated turkey sandwich with a side of potato salad. Pros: Very good grilled Turkey, on grilled ciabatta with avocado aioli and burrata cheese. Cons: --Red baby potato salad was drenched in lemon zest, you couldn't take more than a couple of bites before tossing it because it was like eating shaved lemon peel. --For a self proclaimed "cheese club" there's barely any cheese on the menu, I was looking forward to an interesting cheese sandwich with like 3 different cheeses and veggies on baguette or something similar but the only sandwich options are turkey, fried chicken, prosciutto, pastrami, salami, ham, sausage burger, roast beef. More of a game club than a cheese club. (To be fair there is a small cooler with a few gourmet cheeses for sale). --No indoor seating even though the space could accommodate a small espresso table with a couple of chairs. Relevant on this rainy day. read more

Surprisingly, I came here for the coffee: Coffee Poe! Using locally-roasted beans, they have a small coffee menu with great brews! The place was small, only room for ordering/picking out what you'd like! The ladies who were running the place were so nice and welcoming. Loved my coffee and will definitely be back for more coffee! read more

First time trying this spot! Needed some dinner while working the evening shift. I got Italian Sandwich SPLIT in half. And a side of Bacon & chive potato salad. Also extra pickles on sub and a peach ice tea drink. The sub bread tasted fresh and the bread wasn't soggy. A perfect amount of wine sauce and the tomatoes, lettuce and were fresh tasting also. They give you a great amount of meat pretty hefty! Great tasting Italian sub the potato salad was good as well! Will try again when working the evening shift for dinner very satisfied with the quality and the taste of the food! read more

Ordered a sandwich (turkey with burrata and avocado) online and had a very easy pickup experience. The sandwich itself was great - nicely toasted bread with the perfect balance of toppings. The cheddar broccoli side was very strange in my opinion and it's something I wouldn't get again. Prices are a bit high for the portion size but quality is good and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

Five stars for this small business. Located conveniently in the Beacon Hill MGH neighborhood, Crane River Cheese Club serves up delicious sandwiches. There's a small sandwich menu written on chalk as you walk in. The person at the counter makes it fresh and serves the sandwiches with a side of potato salad or broccoli. They also have a small selection of wine, cheeses, desserts, and other small snacks. I ordered the #1 which was packed with Italian cold cuts and cheese. Very flavorful perhaps a little salty but that's kinda how these meats are. The potato salad also amazing. The service was fast. The environment was cozy! Try them out! read more

I've eaten here a few times now... honestly one of the best sandwich experiences I've had. This place is worth driving at least an hour to come visit. The intricacy and complexity of the sandwiches, mixed with the obvious sense of how fresh and clean each ingredient is... This place is so under-rated. My guess is in no time, this place will have a 30 min wait out the door. Get there and try it before then! read more

The sandwich was ok, good quality but the turkey was like one of those pressed chicken breasts from subway (although I am sure it was not) but the sage and the texture was weird. The broccoli salad was also an odd flavour, I couldn't stop eating it but wasn't sure I liked it. I would try again but a different sandwich and the potato salad. Cute place, busy, slightly expensive as the sandwich is not big. read more

Fantastic artisan sandwiches. The roast beef (deli style, not North Shore, nor Chicago) was incredible. The balance of flavors with the truffle, rosemary, and horseradish was a perfect combination. These were clearly high quality and carefully curated ingredients. The fact that it came with potato salad was a pleasant surprise bonus. Additionally, they sell a select amount of craft beer, local cheeses, and high-end wines too. Perfect to spend more money while you wait for your amazing sandwich to be prepared haha. The staff was also very inviting. read more

Moving from the San Francisco Bay Area, I had yet to find a seriously good artisanal sandwich shop in Boston that elevated their sandwiches through top tier gourmet ingredients. Most every sandwich shop in the city is just one sub after another. Not Crane River. Their sandwiches are next level. From truffle-infused roast beef to lavender & fennel pollen infused goat cheese between delicious toasted sourdough, their sandwiches knock my socks off every time. And contrary to what you might think, their sandwiches are cheaper than half the Italian sandwich shops in the North End. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Sandwich 1 is reallllly good. All sandwiches come with a side and I got bacon potato salad. It's not massive but it is a good lunch. The sauce and the olive tapenade together are so delicious. read more

We got the number 1. It was fine, that's it. The broccoli slaw was old and gross. The picture was the entire portion and not touched. I tasted it, spit it out and prayed I would'nt get sick. The store was underwhelming and I have no need to go back. read more

I never knew this place existed and I work around the block. Very nice, small space (no sit down available) - offering five amazing sounding sandwiches and one salad. I ordered the turkey sandwich and it was amazing - so many layers of flavor. Tasted incredibly homemade. Came with a side of potato or broccoli salad. They had a small selection of cold beverages. Their freezer had alligator and kangaroo meat! Also had allergen-safe packaged cookies. Really friendly service as well. read more

Great Italian sandwich - I only wish I'd received the potato salad with bacon the I'd order instead of the broccoli salad (but I ate it because it was good for me). Nice selection of beverages and snacks to round out a quick meal. read more

YUM!!!! OMG DEEEE-LISH. But no seating, not even a little standing counter at the window which is a hard no , going forward.

Amazing sandwiches, the fried chicken sandwich is perfect. The Italian was great as well as the meatball.

I live right around here and have visited this place a few times for their sandwiches. It's a small cute place with some outdoor seating. They sell some cheeses, deli meat, and wine as well as some sandwiches made to order. I have gotten the fried chicken sandwich which is pretty decent for the price (I do wish the fried chicken was perhaps a bit crispier). The sandwiches cost about $14 and also come with your choice of side. I recommend this place if you are hoping to grab some sandwiches on the run of decent quality. The esplanade is nearby if you're hoping for a view while eating! read more

Reasonably-priced local cheeses, meats and produce, and tasty pre-made meals that you can bring home and pretend you made. Expect the same amazing quality of service and food that you'd get at Tip Tap with added simplicity. Definitely check it out! read more

Crane River's Cheese is full of gourmet items and sandwiches that motivates you to look, cook and eat. Yum! Great cofee too! I love this specialty shop. read more

High quality and fresh food with wonderful service!! Such a great addition to Beacon Hill!

Great sandwiches. Amazing ingredients. We had the turkey and burrata and fried chicken. Both were awesome.

They're so nice, food is good, and you sometimes get the most amazing local produce etc. I wish they did more of that actually.

The best grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had! The cozy atmosphere and charming patio make it even better. A solid 10 out of 10!

Quite a tasty fried chicken sandwich. The biggest flop of a side potato salad ever. If this was the same price but with delicious fries as an option for the side this would be 5 stars read more

This is my go-to lunch spot. Their turkey sandwich is to die for!! I walked in to pick up my order and another customer was in awe at how amazing the sandwiches are. You need to go here! read more

Was planning on checking this place out for a while and boy do I wish I had sooner. Stopped by after a walk and they have a nice selection of olive oils, cheeses, spices, and other fresh produce. I had to go back later to try one of their sandwiches. I ordered the #1 and immediately felt compelled to write a yelp review after finishing the first half of the sandwich in 2 seconds. Service is great, food is great. 100% will return. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Beacon Hill! I really love their sandwiches, and they rotate the menu frequently enough that you don't get tired of whatever's on the menu. They're a really great spot for if your local to grab last minute things if you're throwing a dinner party or are trying to put a meal on the table. And they recently really up to their wine and beer selection! The staff that works there is super friendly, and always greet me with a smile and a "hello"! Their patio is also a really great place to have a low-key, relaxing lunch during the spring/summer time. 10/10 would recommend! read more

To call this a sandwich does not do it justice. This is a top 10 things I've eaten. I had the number 5. They change the menu weekly...but omg. I literally wish I could give 10/5 stars. read more
