(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 food is also bomb!! The first meal I got from them was pulled pork with some veggie sides. It was sooo flavorful and delicious and still a decent temp considering the delivery aspect.

Bountiful makes such rich food and it was a delight having homemade comfort food delivered to my doorstep. I look forward to getting the Bountiful menu each week and highly recommend y'all check it out!

I know it's the guys behind the grill that apparently don't see the notes or can't read or only look in a very specific small spot on the ticket for your order and any other notes just does not exist. One day they're going to kill somebody. Is ignorance bliss? It's not gonna be me because I'm not coming back you lost two customers today. PS the meat was overcooked. The vegetables were burnt, and the red sauce was so thinned out. It was like eating Campbell soup vegetable broth. But did have a good flavor.

We all really enjoyed our meals and are already trying to figure out when we can go back because it's not near where we live. The staff were all very friendly. The restaurant was small with only a few tables, but we were lucky enough to get a table. It looks like most people probably get take out. I definitely recommend trying this place.

We almost always opt to order online for pickup, which is quick and convenient. The meals are reasonably priced for the portions you get, delivering exactly what you'd expect from a quality fast-casual salad spot. We're creatures of habit and always build our own bowl. The ingredients are consistently fresh, the combinations work well together, and their dressings are tasty and really tie everything together. It's a consistently decent, no-surprises place to grab a satisfying and healthy meal in the area.

Friendsgiving has become a heck of a lot less stressful after discovering Judith's Kitchen. My…read morefriends and I usually plan one either the week before or after Thanksgiving, but most places that offer Thanksgiving catering only do so during the few days leading up to the big day. A couple of Friendsgivings ago I became determined to find a place where we could order catering in or around Newton where my friend hosts. After a little digging, I uncovered the gem that is Judith's Kitchen. Not only does Judith's Kitchen have oven roasted turkey breast and most of the standard Thanksgiving sides, but they have them year-round! Their full catering menu is quite extensive. That first year we ordered the turkey breast with gravy as well as the brussel sprouts, rosemary potatoes, and the butternut squash purée. The remaining sides we made ourselves. Let's just say everything was a massive hit. You pop everything in the oven to heat up and then they're ready to plate. It's so much nicer than making everything from scratch, especially the turkey. That quartet has become our regular Friendsgiving catering order. Placing an order is easy peasy as you do it with Judith herself (or you can do it online if you prefer). Just tell her what you want and for how many people and she'll let you know exactly the quantity you need. You do end up paying a bit of a premium considering we don't order a ton of food, but I think it's totally worth it for the convenience alone. I'd love to try their lunch offerings if I lived closer, but until then, Judith's Kitchen will be our go-to for Friendsgiving.

Unfortunately, I have to say that the reviews are very misleading. Not only was the man wearing…read morereading glasses who served me cold and unfriendly, but he also handed me my to-go sandwich without a bag or even napkins. Very unprofessional and disappointing. As a food critic, I must also note that the chicken salad sandwich was made with hard, chunky chicken and lacked any real flavor profile. I visited this restaurant with the intention of possibly doing a write-up on the quality of the food, ambiance, and overall value. Sadly, this place is among the worst I've tried this year. Please try Sandwich Works instead--they have the best sandwiches in Newton, and their staff is warm and incredibly friendly. Spend your money elsewhere.

I ordered a Hawaain Pizza for take out. It was my first time ordering. I went off the pictures on…read moretheir web page. The pizza looked like a well done bar pizza with the crispy crust. The pizza didn't reflect the picture. It had crispy crust but it had salty deli ham that was not chopped fine. The mozzarella bland and heavy. No oregano or seasoning. The ham saltiness over powered the can pineapple and the dough not and sauce not very flavorful. Maybe they're better on pepperoni and cheese cuz how can you go wrong with that? Maybe better products. This is just one opinion but another person my differ don't take my word for it everyone has different taste buds.
