chai latte and latte
Jenn M.

Stopped by on a busy Saturday morning for a quick breakfast before sightseeing. Lattes, breakfast sandwich, pastries, all really delicious. Service is fast and the interior is charming. You order at the counter and try and find the seat. That's the only real issue with this place, not enough interior seating on a rainy Saturday morning. When the weather is nicer, there is some lovely outside seating too. Highly recommend... Super yummy... We will be back this trip!

Donut with vanilla cream

Initially came for the cinnamon buns but they were sold out by the morning! I opted for the donut which I heard great things - it was fluffy, airy, and the cream was light and not too heavy or overly sugary. The Matcha Lemonade was more on the sweet side but still has a tartness that is refreshing.

Up until about 15 seconds before we left, this was a five star review. The pastries, the hot tea and the coffee were all top-notch. Can't say enough positive things. What changed, is that a homeless man walked in and began harassing an Uber eats driver. A staff member walked over to let him know. It's an Uber eats driver to try to calm down the situation. The homeless man started swinging his cane and at that point, I decided to intervene the homeless man swung his cane, hit an employee of flower bakery in the Head. And that's when I grabbed this came. I walked him outside and on his way he went. What surprised me is that the manager, nor any of the other staff at flower checked on the girl who had been hitting in the head nor did they react at all to the situation as it was unfolding. Just so surprising!

We stopped here for breakfast as it was just a few blocks from our hotel near the Prudential Center. You can order online on one of the virtual screens or in person. We got a few sandwiches and we loved the taste and the presentation of the food. After you order, you get a number and they bring the food to you. Very good quality, very good staff, very ample location with lots of tables to sit.

Stopped by this bakery in the morning since it's not far from the hotel where we staying. The place was busy and the line pretty steady and the people behind the counter took people order promptly. . This bakery famous for their sticky bun but I was in the mood for coffee lattes, chocolate croissant, and blueberry muffin. They have indoor and outdoor seating areas and they also sells some cook books, shirts, and some knick knack for tourist like me.

I don't have enough good things to say about this bakery. I originally only planned on going once to try it out, but found myself going back every day on my trip to try different items. Everything I ordered was just great, and really makes the decision to get coffee and breakfast at a local shop a no-brainer. The savory and sweet pastries were all fantastic, and the coffee was also a perfect blend of sweetness to bitter. I feel confident that you'll be happy with anything you order here.

This cafe was cute, had lots of natural lighting, and a good variety of drinks, pastries, and small bites. I only came here for a quick bite before I had work and thought that it wasn't a bad spot. I got a vanilla latte here and their yogurt bowl with granola. I thought that the vanilla latte was a bit too sweet for me and my friend and I both thought that their yogurt bowl was a bit cheesy (like a cheesecake-type of flavor--not bad but not great). Nonetheless, the space had free wi-fi and was a good environment to start my day with and get some work done.

Sticky bun

I stopped by while waiting for a train back to NY out of Back Bay and was pleasantly surprised! It was the perfect spot to grab breakfast/lunch and was not too far from the station. I had the smoked chicken salad sandwich which was served in a delicious cranberry sourdough bread. The bread was very fresh and soft and had some crunch in it with some seeds they added to the bread. I also took home one of the sticky buns which was similar to a cinnamon roll but with some crunchy toasted pecans on top! Definitely recommend trying both of these if you stop by! Will definitely be back next time I'm in Boston!

Cute spot! Nice iced latte and the lemon ginger scone was absolutely delicious! Bathroom is in a hallway and needs a code to enter, but could be a little cleaner. Staff was nice, and good seating area.

Stopped in here for a quick bite and hot bev. It was so, so busy and there was no available seating. We had to stalk patrons (ashamed, I know) so that we could at least share 1 seat for two people while we eat. I ended up only getting an almond flour pistachio macaroon and a hot tea -- figured those would be good options if we ended up having to order and leave. Both were nice, no complaints. Next time, hopefully we'll get lucky and its not so busy so we can order more items and get to enjoy them inside.

Best place to grab a quick coffee to go before heading to work in the town! Located conveniently right next to the commuter rail. The service is faster and it's also a good place to have brunch with coworkers. My personal fav is sticky bun if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it for the sugar tooth folks out there!

Their mission statement

Has the breakfast egg sandwich with bacon. It was tasty. There was a line to order but it moved fast enough. Easy to find a seat.

If I only had one last brunch to eat on earth, I'd want it to be Flour! Specifically, their open face BLT sandwich (with added poached egg) and their chai latte. The BLT sandwich was perfect with runny egg on the top (wasn't that messy to eat with a fork and knife), and the chai latte was comforting and had the perfect balance of spice and milk/tea. Eating this meal at the bar seating by their window, looking out into a lovely fall morning, was absolute perfection.

GOD BLESS AMERICA...and this sandwich!! Never have I ever had a better sub in my life. The bread,…read morethe meats, the toppings; everything tasted like the best of the best! Walking through the front door is like walking through a secret portal to Italy (I'm not kidding). The smells and sights of fresh meat hanging from the ceiling is what I imagine heaven to be like! I ordered the Italian sub. First of all, it is HUGE in both length and circumference. One sub can easily be split between two people. The bread-to-meat ratio is perfect. I could taste each individual ingredient with every bite, which is a unique experience that only happens when everything is fresh and flavorful as can be. I think this place just ruined subs for me because no other will come close to being THIS good. If I were on death row, this sandwich would be part of my last meal. I feel like I cannot adequately put into words just how amazing it is. Do yourself a favor and check this place out sooner than later! :)

I came for the much heralded Italian sandwich and it did not disappoint…read more Small, 2-room shop on Salem Street, right next to Bova's Bakery, good for Italian provisions and artful Italian sandwiches. As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

I'd heard of Sam LaGrassa's for years but had never managed to make it there. My first introduction…read moreended up being at a corporate event in Boston's Seaport district, where lunch arrived courtesy of one of the city's best-known sandwich shops. The catering was impressive. Before anyone even took a bite. Every half sandwich was individually wrapped and clearly labeled, with salads and sides neatly organized, making it easy for a large group to grab lunch without the usual catering chaos. The choices were wide and varied. We took our lunches upstairs to a rooftop seating area overlooking the Seaport, which made for a pretty great setting on a beautiful afternoon. I chose the Gobbler, and it lived up to the hype I've since read in other reviews. At first glance it sounds like a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but it's much more than that. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, and it was complemented by stuffing, cranberry sauce, spinach, pepper jack cheese, and just enough chipotle mayo to add an unexpected kick, without overwhelming everything else. It's one of those combinations that sounds busy on paper but comes together remarkably well. I spoke with several others over lunch, and they were equally impressed with their choices. That's always a good sign when you're feeding a crowd. It's one thing to make a great sandwich to order; it's another to deliver dozens of them catered while maintaining that level of quality. Since this was catered, I can't really comment on the restaurant itself. The service on the catering side, however, was evident in how thoughtfully everything was prepared and packaged, and the rooftop setting where we enjoyed lunch certainly didn't hurt. Needless to say, this won't be my last Sam LaGrassa's sandwich. I fully intend to visit the restaurant one of these days, and in the meantime I'll spend some time trying to recreate that Gobbler at home (maybe with sliced roasted chicken, but also with turkey when I have it). It was that good.

I've had this bookmarked for quite some time and finally made the decision to stop by. I ordered…read morethe Southwestern Pastrami (no bbq sauce) and my partner ordered the Chicken Mafia. He ate his fresh and liked it enough to want to go back. He felt it was big enough to split into 2 meals, which is a plus since the prices here are pretty steep. I had mine cold, so I didn't like it as much. The tomatoes made the bread soggy, but the sandwich was packed with pastrami. The pickles they give though... so good and a perfect bite in between each sandwich bite or a good lil snack at the end. I like how they pack everything for take out. The boxes are secure, they don't skimp on the sauces and wrap them in plastic wrap and the pickles are in mini ziploc bags to ensure the juices don't spill on everything. Very thoughtful packaging. Since I ordered for pick up, they do have curbside where you double park out front and they can bring it to you, or you can run in and tell them the name it's under and they'll hand it to you when ready. For a Tuesday afternoon, service is not fast nor slow. The inside of the restaurant gave deli vibes, which I personally like. It's quite busy and they have some cool signs and photos up. I'll definitely be back to try it fresh!

I didn't realize this would be a true hole in the wall; no bathrooms, only three or four tables, you order at the counter. So if you're looking for a sit-down spot, have a backup plan. We got lucky and grabbed a table but it felt like a miracle. This is really more of a takeout spot. The menu is simple: cold and hot sandwiches, about four or five options per category. The sandwiches were delicious, especially the Calabria, packed with prosciutto, spicy soppressata, hot capicola, sharp provolone, Calabrian chili aioli, and arugula. They couldn't substitute the arugula, so I skipped it but it was still the star of the show. My husband had the roast beef and it was good, but the Calabria won. Fair warning: these sandwiches are HUGE. We were so full from lunch we could barely finish dinner and my one regret was not splitting one. Come hungry or come with a plan! The place is a bit chaotic. It took close to 30 minutes to get our order; they were slammed. The guy at the counter was all over the place and forgot to give us our drinks or tell us to grab them from the fridge. But at $17 for a sandwich this thick and this good, it's a great deal in Boston's South End. The flavors made it all worth it.
