    Came for lunch on a work trip and ordered the goat cheese pesto BLT with potato salad and a large Americano. The sandwich was a hearty portion, the bacon was crispy, the vegetables were fresh, and the goat cheese pesto added a slightly sweet note that really made the sandwich shine. I was told the Americano was the largest size available. I did expect it to be a bit bigger, though. This place was packed during the lunch rush, clearly a very popular spot. Service was quick, and I would visit again for a fast, reliable lunch.

    We had a good experience here. As we walked in, we saw the virtual assistant, where you can order anything on the menu and that's what we did. It was easy and efficient. We sat down with the number we got and the food came to us within 5-7 minutes. I loved my soup and my sandwich. The staff was working hard and they were non stop taking food to the different tables. The place was busy, so I guess this is a favorite of many in the area.

    ORIGINAL CHICKEN SANDWICH

    Had a really nice stop in at Pressed. Fries were crispy and delicious. The Jaffa salad was massive -- my friend had a tough time finishing it! The chicken sandwich was smothered in sauce and the pickles were good. Expected there to be WiFi at a Cafe which was a bummer. Overall solid experience!

    This place is absolutely beautiful. We are visiting from California. And we are so happy that this was our last breakfast spot. Wouldn't have it any other way. If we ever come back to Boston, this is definitely somewhere that we would come to again. The place is super clean, it's super chic. We didn't have too much experience with staff, because they have self service kiosks. But our food came out very very quickly, and so did our drinks. No, let's talk about food, the portions. Here are absolutely huge. You ever have to come with a big appetite, or split with someone, because you'll definitely have food for later. Absolutely no complaints. We will definitely be back.

    We came to pressed in Prudential a couple of times now, after I've been visiting their other locations for years. It's very cozy inside with lots of seating. I will say the last time around our food took so long to come out, which was surprising. We ordered back to back but mine came out in 5 minutes and my boyfriend's took like 15. Large menu so every time you come you can try something new. A healthier fast food too.

    The initial setup of this cute little cafe is that of a walk up and order but , you quickly realize that, they give you a table top number and each table has an assigned waitress to comes by and checks on you throughout your meal. They have a very large menu that carries both breakfast and lunch items along with baked pastries and goods. This is an excellent cafe if your looking for a space to sit and get some work done on your laptop or a cozy warm period in. I ordered their ginger muffin, iced matcha latte and French toast breakfast platter. I loved every bite. The parking outside the cafe is massive and free.

    BLACK BEAN CHICKEN QUESADILLA
    Masmin P.

    Extensive all-day breakfast and brunch menu. Huge portions and very tasty. I enjoyed the beef short rib and egg over 7-grain toast. It was hefty but size pales in comparison to the black bean chicken quesadilla and Middle East panini. Order at the counter or the many touch screen consoles; food and drinks are delivered to the table. Free seating. Food came out pretty quickly.

    Pressed Cafe is a solid local chain here in Massachusetts, specializing in a wide range of foods from healthy options and brunch to more casual dinner plates. The parking situation isn't great, but they make up for it with easy takeout. Inside, it's quite spacious with a bar area and plenty of seating in the back. The staff are always friendly and impressively efficient, pumping out orders quickly even when they're swamped. I usually come for lunch and have tried a bunch of different things. The peanut butter smoothie was alright, it had a strong peanut butter taste and was nice and thick, but overall it was good. We really liked the hamburger salad; all the ingredients paired together perfectly. The chicken sandwich was also a reliable choice. Beyond lunch, they're known for a great breakfast and brunch scene too, and the bar serves up some good cocktails if you're in the mood. Overall, it's a consistently great spot for a casual brunch, a quick lunch, or even a laid-back dinner. It's got that reliable, family-friendly neighborhood vibe that makes it easy to return to.

    This is a five star and over the top... The selection is unbelievable with several things to choose from breakfast, lunch dinner drinks, and more. Easy kiosk, ordering or walk up with take away or dine in options. I ordered the Wellington sandwich, which was a delicious steak, mushroom & Gorgonzola Panini. The bread was exactly the way you'd like it. The flavors were off the charts. Highly recommend.

    Me and my friends just stopped in for coffee, but we're pleasantly surprised just how great this coffee was. It was a bit pricey, i'll admit but it was one of the best coffees i've had in a minute. I ordered a large salted caramel iced coffee with cream. They were a bit busy so it took a bit longer than we hoped. The interior is huge- lots of seating and space to work, eat, or even grab a drink! There's a separate (and quieter) bar area that's beautifully decorated as well. I could imagine this would be a great spot to get some work done or meet a friend for a coffee.

    TURKEY REUBEN (with ciabatta bread substitute)
    Sofia J.

    Stopped by this place for a quick lunch in the afternoon. It was pretty busy, similar to a takeout place, with people coming and going. The restaurant itself was pretty clean, and was a cozy spot with lots of room to sit. Our order had a mixup with another one, and took about 15 minutes to resolve, but regardless it was worth it. The turkey Rueben was pretty good, although I couldn't taste the thousand island sauce much. Their smoothies tasted fresh and smooth, and weren't too sweet. One thing I will mention was the mac and cheese, it tasted watered down and wasn't very cheesy or salty, which I didn't prefer. Overall great place for a quick bite to eat!

    Cool coffee and café spot. I got the pistachio croissant, which was very tasty. The ambience was clean and inviting. The service was fast and efficient. Definitely a cool place to study and hang out

    Love shakshuka it's delicious and perfect for pita to dig into tomato based sauces and I don't even like tomato soup in general but the combination works. However, my mocha latte can use some improvement. Maybe I should order cappuccino or flat white instead.

    Is this place good for studying?

    Yes! Great coffee, tons of tables, and you order/pay at the counter so you aren't hogging a table/preventing someone from making tips if you stay for a long time.

Thick-cut…read morebread, perfectly soft inside with a slight crisp on the edges, and loaded with Nutella without being overly messy. The strawberries and banana balanced it out so it didn't feel too heavy. Portion size was solid--borderline dessert-for-breakfast, but in a good way. Coffee was decent, nothing crazy. Place is small and gets packed, so expect a wait. Overall: great spot if you want something sweet and indulgent for brunch.

    I wasn't as impressed with Cafe Bonjour as my chum was, and it's clearly well-liked; part of it…read moremight have been the rainy weather, part of it might have been my lighter lunch selection but this one just didn't really hit with me. I stopped by in the early afternoon this past Monday with my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality. This establishment is pretty close to a prior Airbnb we've stayed at and is in a neighborhood we've spent a solid amount of time in, so it's been off and on our radar for a few years. I'm pretty sure we attempted to stop by on an earlier trip but it was too busy - a tribute to the restaurant for sure. Two elements stood out to me almost immediately when we walked in, one good, one bad. On a positive note, the service was excellent - that came across in waves. This is a busy restaurant in a tourist area, and nine out of 10 times, the hospitality would suffer as a result. Not here; we were warmly received as soon as we walked in and were consistently attended to throughout our visit. Top notch in that regard. Con? Personal preference on my end, it just felt kind of grimy in there, like it had taken on the personality of its neighborhood, which is in my opinion not the best and has a homeless issue. There's definitely some personality in there - some gorgeous wood paneling and whatnot - but it was a little too chaotic/claustrophobic for me. I think there's a way they could upgrade the interior without compromising the uniqueness of Cafe Bonjour. I was at the part of our mini-vacation where I didn't necessarily have regrets over my food naughtiness, but my palate definitely needed some legitimate nourishment. I opted for the Signature Blueberry Bowl,, which predictably featured a great many blueberries, and was essentially an acai bowl interpretation with bananas and peanut butter (similar to the Acai Power Bowl at Playa Bowls). It was fine - good portion for what it was. I think they should have made it more...solid, if that makes sense. Like make the blended blueberry aspect quasi frozen so it had more substance to it. Without doing so, it just seemed too liquidy and harder to eat as a result. It was also a little bland and could have used an additional ingredient or two, and the hunks of peanut butter were difficult to blend into the bowl, so sometimes you'd end up inadvertently getting nothing but a mouthful of peanut butter. Not the best, but also probably not their biggest menu selling point. For what it's worth, my chum loved her dish (I think she got the Bennies) and enjoyed her time here immensely. This is one I'd like a do-over on and would be more than willing to come back with a better appetite and revisit - I don't know that my opinions on the vibe/atmosphere are going to change (though maybe some of that is dependent on the weather and this place really shines when the sun is out), but I probably didn't get the best that Cafe Bonjour has to offer.

    Backstory to help explain the significance of the fact that I didn't get coffee with my meal…read morehere...I drink buckets a day...I must have coffee, as a necessity. The scrambled eggs were perfectly done, not runny or gooey like other places. The potatoes perfectly seasoned and slightly crunchy out and soft inside. The Banana bourbon French toast...Is the best breakfast food I've ever had and I eat out frequently. I literally scraped my plate clean. I would have done the same with my eggs, potatoes and Turkey sausage but I couldn't eat another bite. I wish we had a North Street Grille here but perhaps it's better that I not have easy access to the quality of food otherwise I'd need a new bigger size wardrobe. If in Boston this is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. If we had room and weren't leaving town the same night we'd have bought the banana bread. They provide complementary for each table and it's one of the bestest most beautifully made banana breads I've had. Service was fast and friendly. It's a cute and quaint little place packed to gills with people which is fine because everyone is friendly and the food is divine!!!!

    I visited North Street Grille in the North End of Boston and overall had a really solid brunch…read moreexperience. We ordered the French toast and the huevos rancheros. The French toast was absolutely outstanding!! Easily one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful, it's a must-order and alone makes this place worth visiting. The huevos rancheros were decent, but not quite at the same level. They felt a bit less authentic than expected, and the hot sauce option was limited to Tabasco. I think a more traditional, homemade Mexican-style salsa would have elevated the dish significantly and made it shine. Because of that, I'm giving North Street Grille 4 stars. The French toast is phenomenal, and with a little more attention to authenticity on certain savory dishes, this spot could easily be a 5-star brunch destination. I'd definitely come back! Especially for the French toast.

Everything was perfect, except... it was incredibly sour, almost pungent. The sauce was just pure canned tomato flavor, and the pickled peppers were also extremely sour, with a hint of spiciness that made the flavor even more intense. I guess I just couldn't get used to it, as a Chinese; but I'll respect this seasoning, as it's very common in the West. After taking it home, I reheated it with sugar, black pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese, and mixed with pasta--it instantly felt much smoother and more delicious! The restaurant's decor was simple and rustic, with natural-colored wooden tables that looked gentle and warm in the sunlight. I really liked it.
