Enjoyed the food, but was most impressed by how friendly all of the employees were! We were greeted by a very friendly cashier, and our food was brought to us. Even though we just ordered sandwiches the staff came to check in on how we liked the food. The owner also came by our table to see how we liked everything. It is a small yet vibrant upbeat atmosphere! The Caprese Sandwich was delicious and I can't wait to go back and get it again! read more

This place has extremely high quality ingredients in everything they do. What I especially appreciate about them is how conscious they are about allergies both in store and when you order through the apps. Highly recommend read more

Top notch!! You'll know this bc no pics were taken! Lol... sorry, we were starving & protein loading for Anyway... perfect, amazing, delicious , what else can I say?!? Must try!! We had the chicken Cesar wrap, potato salad (wow, Wow, WOW!!!) and the caprese sandwich which were all fresh, seasoned perfectly & most delicious! BUT! The caprese sandwich was the best I've ever had. Thinly sliced grilled chicken, layered w mozz, arugula, balsamic glaze. And the BREAD?!? Mmmmm!! The freezer full of it was tempting to me. To top it all off the home made Bread & Butter Pickled were to die... so we bought a pint to bring home!! Will be back!! read more

First time was a great experience. The chicken salad wrap was delicious. Easy to order online for pickup. The shop also had a nice selection of gourmet items and drinks. Reasonably priced. We will be back for sure. read more

I'm something of a chicken pot pie connoisseur, and this chicken pot pie soup is unreal. I'm willing to call it their signature soup without hesitation. Now I'll be stalking the place until the next serving. read more

Food - fantastic! Sandwich selection is not the usual fare; rather it is top notch gourmet flavors that meld together perfectly for an extraordinary culinary experience in every single bite. We have tried The Thorndike, The Goss, The Fay, and The Park Vale. All equally outstanding and the homemade pickles are the perfect accompaniment. Take out meals are perfection! We tried the shrimp, fennel, and orange dish. Flavors were complementary and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Service was excellent-very friendly, willing to swap ingredients out as needed, they check about allergies when you order. Ambiance is very cute. Still waiting on their liquor license but the wine sure looks tempting! Definitely check this cafe out! You will return. read more

Got a fantastic sandwich platter with pasta salad, green salad, chips and cookies. Perfect spread for my usually picky family. Everyone found a sandwich they loved. Will absolutely be catering with them again! read more

Really great high-end sandwiches and meals to go. High quality delicious food. They also do catering.

Picked up soup and sandwiches to go on a whim and they were all delicious. All together we had the grilled cheese and tomato soup, Italian, and roast beef - everyone was happy. The food was ready quickly, and the salads, cookies, and drinks in the coolers when I went to pick up the order looked really colorful and are reason enough to go back and try something new. Also maybe worth noting - I'm not really a pickle person, but the sandwiches came with sides of sliced pickles. Best I have ever had and I was wishing there were more. I think I like pickles now. Can't wait to go back! read more

Such a great spot in Northborough! The Thorndike sandwich did not disappoint! Great place to grab interesting wine or small food gifts. Will definitely be back to try more sandwiches :) read more

just had the italian sandwich and it was incredible. highly recommend, I will be back for more!

I got to sample chef Erin Anderson's delicious food two years ago, so I drove over an hour to Northboro to try Gather Provisions. I'm already plotting my return trip! Excellent lunch fare - the Thorndike eggplant panini (w olive tapenade, provolone, and arugula) is my new fave sandwich. I bought a small side of honey sriracha roasted cauliflower - complex flavor with a little zing of heat. We enjoyed the portion of baked salmon I took home for dinner - beautifully cooked - along with a container of the yummy tomato basil soup. Next visit, I'll try the colorful beet salad, and order the tuna cheddar melt on sourdough, a sandwich another customer told me was her go-to order. read more

We just had the Thorndike sandwich, and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I have ever had!!! Top notch. Can't wait to try more off the menu. read more

I just had "The Goss" and omg I will be back. This food is really fresh and the combination of the ingredients on that sandwich were like a symphony to my taste buds. A sandwich has no business being that good. I was swaying at my work desk while eating it. I also had the Torres black truffle chips and they were good. Not overly truffly but just right for me. read more

I was on the fence about ordering a box since I couldn't see the actual content and had to rely on pictures online. After reading some reviews and saw actual customers' pictures, I decided to try it out. I must say, I was very pleased with the ordering process and the owner, Erin, even delivered the box to my house right on schedule!! Upon opening the box, it conjured a distant but fond memory of opening a box of fine Cuban cigars. Right on top, there was a printout with a description of the content and handling instructions. Underneath the instructions, there were compostable plates that were sturdy and resembled of wood, as well as compostable utensils and napkins. It was nicely packaged and decorated with a few sprigs of lavender. The homemade hummus was perfect! It wasn't super tangy like the store bought stuff and had a smooth but textures consistency. There was also a perfect flavor balance of tahini, salt, and chickpeas. The Tzaziki was fresh and tasted like cool cucumbers, and the Waldorf chicken salad was tender and offered a nice combination of savory and sweet flavor profile with an added crunch from the walnuts. If I am not mistaken, I think there was a piece of brie, some slices of muenster and Gruyere cheeses, along with thinly sliced Prociutto, Salami and Pepperoni, which are all fresh and thin. Included were an assortment of chocolates, limoncello almonds (changed my world!), strawberry pretzels, dried apricots, veggie crudites, and crackers/thin poppy seed wafers to compliment or serve as a vessel to deliver the meats, cheeses, and dips. I am not ashamed to say that I ate about 2/3 of the content in 20 minutes by myself. read more

Delicious food and great extras for your kitchen! The Goss sandwich had a delicious flavor mix and the perfect balance of salty & sweet. And I'm prepped for chilly fall days with a brown sugar and fig soy candle. Fantastic wine and beer selection too! read more

Erin is an amazing chef! She listens to your ideas and incorporates fun ideas of her own! I love her boxes and love having her cook for me. I couldn't be more pleased with her service! read more

For two years now (and hopefully forever more), Chef Erin Anderson of Gather Provisions has graced the shores of McGee Island as Chef Extraordinaire, for the Salty Quill Writers' Retreat for Women. Every meal, every day, for 12 women all of whom gush over every meal, Erin has amazed us with creative, healthful spreads--always interesting, always spot-on, always a hit. And her grace and good cheer make working with her a delight. This time, she badly sprained her ankle before even setting foot in the cook's house, but she didn't skip a beat. The breakfasts with frittatas, fresh fruit, baked blueberry cake, bacon, home fries, and lunches with roll-ups, salads, soups, and more, were amazing, but her dinners some night were Thai, Indian, Italian, you name it--Erin can do it, and without a miss. She is unflappable. I adore her and count myself lucky to have found her. She is by far everyone's favorite person on the island. Don't hesitate, if you're on the fence. This woman is a master! (And is so easy to work with!) read more
