Quincy's Place in the basement at Faneuil Hall Marketplace 3/2014
Vivian C.

Quincy's Place is located under the Faneuil Hall Market Place cupola at basement level with an entrance/exit flight of stairs at either end of the space. Ice cream shop and candy store all wrapped up in one, it is hard to realize that they also sell food-food. That is, if you consider hamburgers and french fries as such. Heh. Whether eating in or getting take-out or ringing up a selection of their candies, you order and pay at the cash register by the center of the floor. Fortunately there was a sign posted, otherwise I'd have no idea. I ordered their Half off at the Hall deal (a February and March special) - Hamburger, Fries & Drink Combo for $5.50 (reg. $11) - which seemed a good deal till I noticed a sign posted on the cash register stating that it includes the Kids cheeseburger, which is listed as $5.95 on their menu vs the $7.95 1/4 lb Faneuil Burger, which when you add the $2.95 fries & fountain drink option to any sandwich would round up the to $11 stated regular price. Yup, I felt a bit tricked. Having patiently waited 10 going on 15 minutes seated at one of their tables, I wondered if perhaps I was supposed to wait at the counter for my order? Nope, they'd deliver. But then my burger popped out of the kitchen before I left the counter after my inquiry. The burger patty itself was okay sized, but nestled within the rather plump seeded roll, it seemed small in comparison. The texture of the patty seemed more pasty than ground, but I could still taste the beefy flavor. The fries resembled the thin cut lengths of McDonald's, but needed a hit of salt. Not bad for $5.50. Not quite worth it at $9. So $11? Nah. Initially, I was going to give them bonus points for cleanliness, as I watched the two staff members wiping and dusting when the teen candy crowd died down. But then I noticed the lady using the same Swiffer along the ledge under the candies that was previously wiped along the floor.

My mom and I tried this place out tonight. Nobody was there when we went in - we ordered 2 burgers with 1 order of fries. Everything was very hot and very fresh. The burger meat was a little thick for our taste but it was still very good. By the time we left - there were probably about 15 people in there getting candy and ice cream.

Coffee set up

Think I need to talk to Quincy! I saw Quincy's Place beautifully described in a Faneuil Hall Market guide. I saw a few positive reviews here on Yelp, one stating that it was EASILY the best in burgers, fries and shakes. And then the Andrew Jackson and friends I handed over in payment for my meal to be left me with anticipation for a simply straightforward good diner breakfast. For whatever reason, I just had to try the place. The place was quiet; I imagine I was the first customer of day, arriving shortly after opening. Blame me for going without the ambiance of a buzzing crowd but it should have afforded me particular care and service. I didn't know what I was gonna have but figured I'd start with coffee and was pointed to a self serve dispenser, surrounded by paper cups, plastic wear, and sugar packets. Something about this disappointed me. Felt like a fast food restaurant I guess. Ready for breakfast, I asked about an omelet as I picked up a menu, to which attendant responded, "We're not really an omelet place but I can make you one if you'd like." However, I looked past a few breakfast sandwiches and ordered the lLumberjacks breakfast which seemed to sample the entire menu. Not sure about you but when you attach lumberjack to the name of something, I imagine a hefty plate, suitable for a hungry lumber hacking Jack! I thought I mighta been getting ahead of myself, having an "easily the best burger" ordered on standby for when I finished my breakfast but shortly arriving at the counter was a platter managing a preformed hash brown patty (I hoped it would've been shredded and grilled), a brown'n'serve sausage patty, two unbuttered, uncut, barley toasted slices of wheat bread, and maybe two eggs that were beaten and seemingly fried (I ordered them scrambled soft and now wondering what this omelet would have looked like.)- all sheltered by a plastic fork and knife. My pancakes were right beside it on a disposable plate and was accompanied by two butters and a packet of syrup. They were slightly undercooked with their peanut-butter-like gooey center. Next was the burger, which I ordered medium well. I didn't really look at the menu but he didn't inform me of the near impossibility of my request seeing that the burgers were quarter pounders. Well, I figured this out myself once I finally foraged my burger patty buried in the forest of lettuce and tomato consumed bya sesame seed bun. I was glad to have been reintroduced to the sesame seed bun; it's been a while. So, Quincy, I'm not impressed, nor pleased. It wasn't just the microwave ready breakfast or the Dixie plates it was served on. Kinda felt like the dorm room I never had and the experience wasn't rescued by some great food. I could've have done better with my money. I cut some slack figuring that it was easier on the guy who took my order took my money and cooked my food if he didn't have to wash too many dishes but... Then I thought that maybe it's admirable that he's working his way through school until I found out he already graduated some years ago and was a manager! Perhaps the ice cream makes up for it all, but I won't be back very soon to find out.

Stopped by the Boston location after hearing so much about Uncle Tetsu's famous Japanese…read morecheesecake. There was a short wait since they bake the cheesecakes fresh in batches, but it moved pretty quickly. The Original Japanese Cheesecake was warm, soft, and definitely lived up to its signature "jiggle." It's very different from a traditional cheesecake--much lighter, fluffier, and less sweet, almost like a cross between a soufflé and a sponge cake. If you're expecting a rich New York-style cheesecake, this isn't that. Personally, I enjoyed how light it was, and it didn't leave me feeling overly full. The staff was friendly, and the shop was clean and well organized. My only suggestion would be to have a few more seating options since it's mostly grab-and-go. Overall, it's worth checking out if you're in downtown Boston or curious about Japanese-style cheesecake. I'd come back again and would like to try some of their other pastries next time.

I ordered an Ube cheesecake and repeated my order as it seemed there might have been some miscommunication. I was in a bit of a rush due to limited parking and unfortunately didn't check my bag before leaving. When I got home, I realized I had been given a different cheesecake than what I ordered. I decided to keep it rather than return, as going back to Chinatown wasn't convenient at the time. The cheesecake itself was also disappointing in texture and freshness--it felt quite soggy and not as fresh as expected. Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations, and I don't think I would return.

They have three tablet kiosks for self-ordering, and it's an intuitive UI, so the process was simple. Once I made my decision from their extensive list of options and combinations, it took me maybe 2 minutes from start to finish to build and submit my order. I ordered a large taro milk tea and it was everything I had hoped for. Flavorful, not too sweet, and the tapioca was a wonderful consistency. My only thing was that it was so busy and loud that the staff were unable to continuously call out when orders were complete, or you couldn't hear them. I eventually went up to the bar, noticed my drink had been sitting a few minutes, yelled over, "This is mine, thanks!!" Smiled, and then grabbed it. Beyond that? It was absolutely a great experience.

I'm quite curious about the relationship between the three bakeries in Chinatown…read more(Corner/Top/Taiwan). Although their names seem to have nothing to do with each other, they share paper bags and some products. Are they sister shops run by the same team? Egg Tart蛋撻: Since there was no insulated box, it was cold, which is a shame compared to Corner Cafe. The egg and milk aromas were masked, but there was a slight eggy smell. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: Although it was also cold, I preferred the baking. It had a thin crust, and the filling was still smooth and delicate, with a richer egg, milk, and sweet flavor. Butter Bun奶香包: The best product, but I forgot to take a picture... I unexpectedly encountered "Little Swell bread微波麵包," something that has disappeared in China for a long time. It was exactly the soft and moist texture I remembered, and the milk, butter, and salt flavors were even stronger.

Solid bakery in Boston's Chinatown. Would rate it a 3.5. Everything is individually packaged so…read moreit's nice being able to try a selection of pastries. They've gotten expensive over the years (now it's about $4-5 for a bun) and the quality can be hit or miss. Some things are fantastic such as their milk bread loaves or taro buns. Other items are just okay such as their raisin coconut bread & bolo baos. Those tend to be dry & flavorless. Like many other Chinatown businesses they require a $10 minimum to pay with card, so definitely more convenient to bring cash.
