I started going here for coffee before work on weekdays. A few customers often will be waiting outside chomping at the bit and the owner still wont open until 8:02 after some dawdling. Coffee is more expensive than Starbucks and for half the size; There is no sense of urgency which I believe is a necessary in this industry. Sandwiches are great. Everything is pricey. read more

I wasn't satisfied fully with that cafe honestly I really expected more from 4.5 stars on yelp .coffee size Is really small even large one food is expensive really small hippies place around Brighton area . read more

Totally tried this place based on the reviews and the fact that it was snowing since we would be walking. No one else was there when we walked in, but while we were eating and then leaving, more and more people were coming in. We got two different sandwiches and they were served rather quickly. The food was good and filling, not too expensive. A little rice "salad" was included. Great place to duck in during a snow storm and a quick bite :) read more

The food tastes ok, price is a bit high for what you get. Food handlers do not wear gloves, so a bit gross.

Check out their Asian chicken sandwich! It's one of the best fried chicken sandwich over ever had!

I've moved but still think about the bahn mi and fried egg sandwiches all the time...best I've had. I would love one right about now. Miss you Dash Cafe and Menlo says hello!!! read more

I'm so happy to live near Dash - the food and coffee is amazing, there's free wifi, and it's a wonderful place to just hang out for a few hours. There's even a nice little hidden garden in the back! I actually shouldn't be reviewing - I want to keep it as my secret, and I have a feeling it'll get packed once more people discover it - but the owners seem really nice and they deserve to do well! read more

This place is awesome. The lattes are really good-they have seasonal flavors like horchata in the summer and maple in the winter. Every sandwich I've had here is excellent but my favorite is the grilled beef-spicy and delicious! read more

Everything is awesome. I've tried it all. Especially the Asian chicken sandwich and beef salad. So happy I live so close by!

The food here is about as good as it gets. My personal favorites are the Cubano and Asian Fried Chicken Sandwich but you really can't go wrong with anything. That said they've seemed a little off lately as they've been closed for brunch the past two times I've tried to go even though there was no indication online or in the store that they would be closed. It's also slightly disappointing to see they haven't had any specials recently even though prior specials have been a nice mix-up and generally awesome. read more

Really refreshing and fulling dishes. It's cute that you can sit outside in a homey patio feel. The service is pretty awkward to be honest. Everyone kind of stares at you oddly and doesn't really make you feel welcome...unless you're very sensitive it's dealable. Would return. read more

I work at Saint Elizabeth's & Dash has become our go to! The salads are to die for, in particular the Cobb and southwest. Also the veggie panini is so good. Also if you have a sweet tooth try the brownies! Great local business! read more

Cozy cafe setting. Has a patio and some outdoor seating. Though patio was closed because of constriction when we went. Friendly staff. Great selection of sandwiches and basic breakfast items. Herb grilled chicken and Asian fried salad sandwiches were both really good. read more

I have tried a ton food Bahn Mi sandwiches, ranging from "authentic" at Super 88 in Allston and at other deli type of places - nothing has come close to the one at Dash. I've worked down the street for a few years and this place is consistently great! read more

Ran in for a quick salad and I was pleased. Ordered the Southwest salad with chicken - major YUM! I'll be back for sure!

Absolutely delicious and SO fresh. I love the falafel Greek salads. It's so difficult to find a really GREAT salad in Allston/Brighton. Dash is always my go-to. The breakfast burritos are also great! Super wholesome and fresh. Love love love this place! read more

Food is good, IF you can get it. I waited for over 20 minutes for soup and fries just now, and when I inquired into how much longer it would be I was told "a while." The lunch rush was there so I knew it was busy, but at least they could've told me there was a longer wait time than usual. I would've went somewhere else. Instead, I got my money back and am working 12 hours without food.Don't count on this place, you'll go hungry. read more

One of my favorite spots for a quick breakfast / lunch. The breakfast sandwich is awesome. Every day they have at least two soups (one veggie) which are pretty damn good. For lunch I've had both the Rachel and the Mexican torta, both were great. When the weather's nicer they have outdoor seating as well. Could not recommend this place enough. read more

Great, fresh food with nice and friendly owners. Loved the Vietnamese Pork Sandwich, but I'm dying to try so many of the others that it's a tough call which to eat next. read more

Yay! Healthy, delicious food at a fair price right near my job! Went in today for the first time and got the Southwestern salad with grilled tofu. Delicious! Everything tastes so light and fresh. The ambiance is nice, too. I haven't tried the coffee yet, but I'm excited to try it and use their cute little "bar" made from an old dresser :-) I am a bit worried, though. It's in a weird location, off a little curved side street and it seemed pretty empty. It was lunchtime and right across the street from a hospital, so I was surprised. Hope other people come in and discover this cute little spot! I saw on the breakfast menu that they have lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry syrup. Soooo stopping in on my way to work tomorrow! read more

This place is spectacular, the food is fantastic, the prices are cheap, and the atmosphere is to die for. Their salads are amazing, and the breakfast burritos will have me coming back for more. Try sitting out back for a refreshing removal from the hustle of city life, or just get it to go if you've got to "dash". 10 out of 10, 5 stars, will eat here again. Wow. read more

Excellent place. The Cobb salad was fantastic and the Asian noodle salad is my friends's favorite. I'm trying the Asian chicken sandwich today... read more

Dash Cafe - Front counter area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

The best sandwich shop in Brighton, if not all of Boston. There is not a bad sandwich on the menu, I know this with certainty because I have tried them all. My personal favorites are the Cubano Panini, the Grilled Beef, and the Asian Chicken. They also have amazing fries and great coffee. Do yourself a favor and go to Dash ASAP. read more

I recently went I dash for Saturday brunch and no surprise, it was FABULOUS! My mother ordered the Benedict, I got the huevos rancheros, and my partner order the Cuban. We drank coffees and fresh orange juice. All of it was excellent. Dash does such a great job of making fresh and interesting food. The staff is lovely as well. Keep it up! read more

Been there on several occasions. This is exactly what Brighton Center needed. Fantastic menu. Great sandwiches and salads.

This place has a bunch of delicious vegetarian options and tasty iced drinks. They will adapt items on the menu happily. This place will break the curse! Go support it- you won't regret it. Delicious, healthy, reasonably priced food- can't go wrong! read more

I miss the food from dash the most since my move home to Ireland!!!! There is no comparison to the fresh and delicious food cooked in dash. Soonie, your cafe is one of a kind!!! I'll be back in December and I know exactly where I'll be having my first meal. :) read more

This cafe is just terrific! All the items I have tried off the menu were fresh and delicious. Their dressings are flavorful and not overpowering. There is a variety to pick from, too. My office mates and I go for lunch often. read more

This place is amazing. I love to go here with friends, great menu and everything is super fresh. Staff are friendly. It does get busy for lunch so maybe call ahead if your in a rush. Their soups/salads and sandwiches are amazing. read more

I go here frequently and always love the food, staff and atmosphere. I've never had a bad meal here. I LOVE the Southwestern salad and the Asian Fried Chicken sandwich is delectable, as is their pulled pork sandwich when it's featured as a special. Go here and support this wonderful mom and pop! read more

Having lived in the neighborhood for a while, I surprisingly had never been to Dash Cafe before. It was a cute little cafe with a nice sandwich and salad selection. I ordered the grilled beef sandwich with grilled skirt steak, jalapeno jack cheese, chipotle aioli, tomatoes, and arugula, on ciabatta roll. It was delicious and an order of the regular fries were quite good as well. I definitely plan to return and try some of their other menu options. read more

O. M. G. Are you kidding me? This place is off the hook delicious. I don't remember the last time I had a sandwich this tasty, and with obviously highest quality ingredients (I had the Cubano Panini), in so long, it doesn't matter. The staff is fun, friendly and fast. They obviously know their regulars, cuz it's like Cheers in here. My first meal, on my first day in Boston. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. read more

Great breakfast or lunch spot near Boston College! The egg and avocado croissant sandwich was very good. Fast service and generous portion sizes. read more

I've now been here twice and both times found myself disappointed at how LONG it took for food to come out. The first time, we ordered a salad and a wrap - neither required cooking at all, just assembly. We waited about 25-30 minutes, in a near empty cafe. The food was good, but basic. This most recent time, it took 15 minutes to get a sandwich (again, only assembly required) with four people working the kitchen and in my 5 minute walk home, the sandwich became so saturated with balsamic glaze that it was pretty much inedible. Bummer, because the cafe is cute and has a good menu... read more

Really great food at a reasonable price in a comfy sunny environment. Very friendly staff and they play some awesome music.

Best lunch I've found in Boston. I eat here too much, seriously it's embarrassing that the whole staff knows me. You can't go wrong with anything you order and the menu is impressive with the amount of variety of options I still have plenty of new things to try! read more

Finally checked this place out - best breakfast burrito I've ever had! Good cup of coffee too. Average prices.

The Southwest Salad is quite possibly the best salad I have ever eaten. The food is fresh, perfectly prepared and the service is fast and friendly. If you haven't tried Dash yet, you are missing out. Highly recommended. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and friendly employees. Very affordable. Everything on the menu looked delicious. The quacamole/salsa and chips was awesome. So glad we stopped in. Would definitely come back again!! read more

Enjoyed the breakfast burrito, order the salsa!
