The space itself is small, with limited indoor seating, though there are a few tables available outside. Staff are friendly and efficient, and they're happy to customize bowls to your preference. We tried the Nutella Acai Bowl and a Mango Bowl. The acai held up well without melting too quickly, and paired nicely with the bananas and other toppings on the Nutella bowl. The granola was fresh and added a satisfying crunch. Overall, the bowls were flavorful, refreshing, and a great option for a quick healthy bite.

The bowl was delicious and was seasoned really well. The mushrooms were smoky and well cooked, and the dressing was lemony and tied all the flavors together. The waffles were really yummy. They had a slight hint of cinnamon, which gave them an elevated flavor. The portion size was pretty good overall both flavorful dishes. The service is fine easy to order. Didn't have a ton of interaction with the person taking our order. I will say the time to get our food was really long. I think we wait over 15/20 minutes for the two dishes. It was definitely a busy Saturday morning, but a lot of people had pre-ordered and came in to pick up their food.

It's a bit out of the way from the downtown area all the way down a street, so I hadn't passed it before I don't think, but it's worth visiting if you don't mind splurging on specialty smoothies. The menu was impressive with great options, also telling you all the vitamins and other good stuff contained in each one. I ordered something I hadn't had before, a smoothie called Long Life that included bee pollen along with acai, goji berries (dragonfruit), blueberries, banana, and pitaya. It tasted rich and dense, and felt great to drink! I also had some of my companion's order, which I have to note reminded me of the smoothies I loved getting at B.Good many times before they changed their menu too much over the years, raised the prices, closed multiple locations, and got rid of the glorious apple & bacon kale bowl. It's called the Namaste, a more typical smoothie with mango, kale, spinach, banana, and apple that also tasted fantastic. The service was great too. I for sure recommend visiting 11:11 Health Bar especially if there's a deal or discount happening!

(Peter Toash) The Pressed Café has eleven locations sprinkled throughout Eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We had an excellent lunch experience with a delivery order from their Newton, MA location. We had a Kids Cheese Quesadilla ($8), a Single Pressed Hamburger ($7.75), a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Bagel ($8), a Coconut Curry Bowl ($14), and an Egg White Breakfast Burrito. My Coconut Curry Bowl was great, and pretty close to anything I get at a Thai restaurant. The bowl was loaded with Roasted Carrots, Broccoli, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Red and Green Peppers, Grilled Onions, Pineapple, Spicy Fresno Chili, Cilantro, Lime, House-Made Spicy Coconut Curry Sauce and was served with a side of White Rice and a whole grain pita bread. I added in a rock-bottom $1 surcharge for some grilled chicken cubes. It was a big portion and half of it went in the fridge for the next day. The Pressed Café's menu is very deep with Daily Specials Burgers and Chicken sandwiches, Coffees Smoothies, Raw Juice & Tonics, Acai Bowls, Breakfast All Day(!), Salads & Soup, Kids Meals, Paninis, Signature Bowls, a Vegan Menu, and plenty more. We were very satisfied with our food, value, and portions.

The market side is decent, though most of the products can be found at regular grocery stores, so nothing particularly unique stood out. The deli area seemed more popular, with a good-sized menu--but the lack of visible pricing was confusing. We ordered the Coconut Mango smoothie, which ended up being $10 for a small cup. That price wouldn't have been too shocking if the smoothie was great, but unfortunately, it missed the mark. It was way too watered down and barely tasted like mango, as the pineapple dominated the flavor despite mango being the headliner. Overall, it didn't really live up to its health-forward hype, and the smoothie experience left us pretty disappointed.

The staff were friendly, though mostly focused on whipping up orders -- which makes sense since it was pretty busy when we visited. The menu is easy to read, but there are a lot of options, so it might take a second to decide. We went with the Kit-Kat shake, which was really tasty. I didn't realize they actually blend the Kit-Kats into the shake, so I was a little surprised by the chunky bits -- but honestly, it worked. The shake had good flavor and felt worth the price, especially for a mall treat. Would definitely come back to try more flavors!
