    Got a smoothie here in the evening one weeknight and the place was pretty empty, although it was quite rainy when we stopped by. It felt more like a takeout spot despite the ample seating as most people were in and out quickly, but maybe that was also because it's attached to a mall (Prudential Center). The smoothie I got was tasty albeit pricy. It also took quite a long time to be prepared despite the empty space. Overall, I probably wouldn't return, but it was a decent grab and go spot.

    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.

    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.

    Spicy Ahi Tuna Melt

    As someone from the West Coast, I got to try Pressed Cafe for the 1st time today and was not disappointed! I appreciate how many options are on the menu since it caters to different preferences. I had the ahi tuna melt which was so so delicious. If you're a seafood fan, I'd highly recommend this :)

    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.

    This is a pretty big Pressed Cafe location! They have plenty of options on their menu. I got the Mexicali Bowl and it was good! You can order in person or on a kiosk which is also nice!

    Clam chowder
    Michelle M.

    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.

    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!

    Pressed Cafe is like the Swiss Army knife of fast casual dining. There are so many options, covering typical American, Asian, Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern foods. For our to go foods, we ordered at a touch screen kiosk and paid. When our Jaffa salad and New England clam chowder were ready, my name was called. We also picked up a box of day old bakes consisting of two muffins and croissants for $8. The clam chowder was creamy and not too salty. It was full of clams and potatoes. One of the best clam chowder we ever had. The salad was fresh and that lemon salad dressing was so good. We are the day old bakes for late night snakes. They were very good after warming them in the microwave. Counter service was friendly. Prices were affordable. We don't mind returning if we are in Boston again.

    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.

    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 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.

    Pressed is the best spot! Super easy to order on their kiosk, grab a table number, find a spot to sit and everything came out so fast. Very attentive food runners and delicious bites. Great place to go alone or with a group, the area is very conducive to all. My favorite go-to!

    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.

Overall a good meal and worth a try.

Oddly, some of the best sandwiches we had in Italy came from a gas station travel plaza on the way from Rome to Florence. We haven't found a similar sandwich in the US ... until here. The meats are sliced fresh and all the sandwiches are made by hand. You have a lot of choices ... and the menu is odd. It stretches from one end of the ordering counter to the other ... it's so long that it's difficult to read the choices at the beginning of the sign. We got the Paradiso, which is made with Mortadella (imagine a thin-sliced bologna) with pistachio cream. Thoughts on the sandwich: Size: - This is one of those places which gives you too much sandwich. I'd come back more often if the sandwiches were $10 - $12 for a single portion. Honestly, the sandwiches here could probably feed two people ... which is fine because it allowed us to split it. However, if I am getting lunch for myself, I don't want to pay double and take a half home. Ingredients: - The best part of the sandwich was the foccacia bread. It was crisp but light ... had a little bit of oil on it and it was dense enough to fill you up. Slightly salty. - The mortadella was high quality ... but at the end of the day, $20 for a bologna sandwich is tough. Also, I was a little surprised at how thin of a layer they put on for the price. - Pistachio/Cream ... Very sweet, I felt like I would have liked a little more savory to balance it out. The sandwich was very pistachio forward and that was the predominant taste. I'd have liked the mortadella to stand out more. Overall, you won't find a sandwich as similar to what you'd get in Italy anywhere else. This place is a bit over hyped in my opinion but the sandwiches are pretty authentic to what you'd find in Italy. Unique combinations and high quality ingredients but the prices are just so fucking sky high here. - The bread is the best part

As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

My first introduction…read moreended up being at a corporate event in Boston's Seaport district, where lunch arrived courtesy of one of the city's best-known sandwich shops. The catering was impressive. Before anyone even took a bite. Every half sandwich was individually wrapped and clearly labeled, with salads and sides neatly organized, making it easy for a large group to grab lunch without the usual catering chaos. The choices were wide and varied. We took our lunches upstairs to a rooftop seating area overlooking the Seaport, which made for a pretty great setting on a beautiful afternoon. I chose the Gobbler, and it lived up to the hype I've since read in other reviews. At first glance it sounds like a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but it's much more than that. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, and it was complemented by stuffing, cranberry sauce, spinach, pepper jack cheese, and just enough chipotle mayo to add an unexpected kick, without overwhelming everything else. It's one of those combinations that sounds busy on paper but comes together remarkably well. I spoke with several others over lunch, and they were equally impressed with their choices. That's always a good sign when you're feeding a crowd. It's one thing to make a great sandwich to order; it's another to deliver dozens of them catered while maintaining that level of quality. Since this was catered, I can't really comment on the restaurant itself. The service on the catering side, however, was evident in how thoughtfully everything was prepared and packaged, and the rooftop setting where we enjoyed lunch certainly didn't hurt. Needless to say, this won't be my last Sam LaGrassa's sandwich. I fully intend to visit the restaurant one of these days, and in the meantime I'll spend some time trying to recreate that Gobbler at home (maybe with sliced roasted chicken, but also with turkey when I have it). It was that good.

He ate his fresh and liked it enough to want to go back. He felt it was big enough to split into 2 meals, which is a plus since the prices here are pretty steep. I had mine cold, so I didn't like it as much. The tomatoes made the bread soggy, but the sandwich was packed with pastrami. The pickles they give though... so good and a perfect bite in between each sandwich bite or a good lil snack at the end. I like how they pack everything for take out. The boxes are secure, they don't skimp on the sauces and wrap them in plastic wrap and the pickles are in mini ziploc bags to ensure the juices don't spill on everything. Very thoughtful packaging. Since I ordered for pick up, they do have curbside where you double park out front and they can bring it to you, or you can run in and tell them the name it's under and they'll hand it to you when ready. For a Tuesday afternoon, service is not fast nor slow. The inside of the restaurant gave deli vibes, which I personally like. It's quite busy and they have some cool signs and photos up. I'll definitely be back to try it fresh!

If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito.
