    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
    Josiah D.

    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!

    AMERICAN BURRITO

    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.

    THE WELLINGTON
    Cody L.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Israeli breakfast
    Fernanda D.

    I spent 10 minutes reading their huge menu, they really have everything you can imagine for breakfast. I chose their israeli breakfast, which was super fresh with a bit of everything. Herbs omelet, tomato/cucumber salad, avocado slices, feta cheese, olive tepenade, labneh, babaganush, shug, tahini sauce, pita and yogurt with oats/honey for a little sweetness. It usually comes with tuna salad which I skipped since I'm vegetarian. The expresso came eith a glass of sparkling water and a little chocolate. You order at the counter but the food is brought to you at the table and the staff does come back to see if all it's all and clean up as you go.

It is a good sandwich. It's a pretty great sandwich, actually. I like the Boss, but there are many great options. There are just two things to keep in mind: 1) it's relatively expensive (though doable) 2) the sandwiches are quite rich and salty, often relying on a flavorful cream element (truffle cream, pistachio cream, etc.) As a result, I probably wouldn't go every day or even every week. But a once-a-month cadence or so would be great. Try it!

But I'm actually writing about the company's website and phone recording. Once, on a prior holiday, and today due to a winter storm, I wasn't sure if the restaurant was open. In both cases (where the restaurant turned out to be closed), the website (appropriately) didn't allow online orders, and (more importantly) THE OUTGOING PHONE RECORDING WAS UPDATED WITH CURRENT INFORMATION. In an era where businesses barely have phone numbers to call, or employees who answer with something other than 'hello', is rare (and by the way, this is the fault of management if they don't properly train their staff). THANK YOU FOR HAVING YOUR SHIT TOGETHER IN COMMUNICATING YOUR HOURS TO THE PUBLIC. I, for one, appreciate it.

It was the gold standard for a real sandwich in the city. Sadly, the magic has faded. Between the soaring prices and the shrinking portions, the value just isn't there anymore. You can taste the "corner-cutting"--the flavors aren't as bold as they used to be, and the sandwiches feel noticeably smaller even though the cost has increased exponentially - I mean $30 for a sammy?! It should have gold in it! Even then, I'd keep coming once in awhile if the service was worth it. but honestly - the staff seems burnt out even bright early in the morning. It's hard to justify the premium price for a shadow of what this place used to be.

We almost felt that we were inconveniencing the workers and the wait time is absurd for in person orders. But I have to give credit when it's due, this was by far one of my favorite sandwiches although they are pricey, you can easily feed a party of four with a nice bag of chips on the side. We were blessed with being able to try the table sandwich. The focaccia was fresh along with the mozzarella and arugula. Since we made an online order which quoted us 45 minutes, our sandwich was ready in 20 so unfortunately, the chicken cutlet was not as fresh as we would've liked.

I got the vodka chicken Parm after seeing it online and it definitely lives up to the hype. And yes, it is ~$30. The sandwich is huge. It has huge cutlets in it which are very filling, and perfectly made. It ended up being enough for two people, so find a person to share it with! The vodka sauce in the sandwich was sooooo good, definitely one of the best I've found in boston. They also provide you with a whole container of sauce to dip your sandwich into (highly recommend doing that). What lost the star is that I felt there wasn't enough basil. For that huge sandwich, there was actually very few bites with basil. I wish there was more of it, and I also wish there was some other green in there like arugula. Other than that, it's a great sandwich. I'd definitely get this again!
