The artisan food is fast and fresh with European flair. The design is open and the interior is bathed in natural light. The sidewalk seating is quaint and offers great people watching. Here's what I dislike: immature, unsupervised and unprofessional staff. Sure, they're nice enough but gossiping loudly behind the counter, grabbing each other's breasts and working near food with long hair not pulled back all tells me that the owner/manager is asleep on the job. Bathroom had no tp either. read more

Sorelle has great customer service - friendly employees and efficient service, even during the morning rush hour. The selection for pastries, breads, sandwiches (breakfast and lunch) and salads is plentiful and delicious. They also have house-made, awesome quiches. I love that they serve cream cheese and lox on a bagel which is something I don't often see around the financial district. The prices are reasonable for the quality food they sell. This is by far one of my favorite breakfast locations in the Financial/Seaport area. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. Was looking for a fast but good and tasty lunch. I ordered the eggplant and mozzarella sandwich and a hot latte. Both were are amazing. The sandwich is not hot, they serve it to you room temp but it was still delicious, so much flavor. The coffee was strong but wicked good. I will definitely go there again next time I end up in downtown Boston! read more

I love this place! The best bagels, good sandwiches, and great coffee all at a reasonable price. I have been here multiple times and it never disappoints. read more

This place is a great alternative for quick lunch. They do not have your typical sandwiches, so do not expect the usual. They have portobello sandwich which is awesome, and I do not know of another place making a similar one. (It comes with caramelized onions, parmesan flakes, tomatoes, greens.) read more

I work in the building next door to Sorelle so naturally when they opened their doors a couple years ago I was very excited to have another option for lunch. The food is good. The service has a lot to be desired. I find most of the folks who work behind the counter to be extremely inappropriate and extremely rude. You almost feel like you are bothering them by coming in to buy lunch. Its the main reason why I have stopped going there. Today I needed a quick sandwich and decided to try it again. Same people, same impression. read more

Food is ok. Have tried a few breakfast sandwiches and there are not much too them. Servie can also be slow which is tough when I am in a hurry in the morning. read more

My opinions of this place average out to about three stars, but with a fair amount of variation depending on the visit. Service can be lacking at times, especially if the barista is not paying attention, so make sure they hear your order correctly. The sweetness of their beverages also varies a lot depending on who is making it, but the quality of the coffee itself is high. I prefer the breakfast pastries, particularly the chocolate croissant and the cinnamon muffin. Tried the brownie one day and it was too dry. Haven't tried any made to order food options, but the breakfast sandwiches always look impressive when I've seen others get them. read more

EXCELLENT! We stopped here for a quick bite to eat after parking in the attached Garage. Polite and amazingly fast service! Delicious custom egg wrap and a nice atmosphere! Highly recommend! read more

Their lattes are criminally under-filled. I've stopped going because a cup of air should not cost 5 dollars.

I liked the sandwich I got, grilled chicken on a toasted baguette with roasted peppers, guacamole, roasted peppers, and provolone. The chicken did not have much taste, but the peppers and the provolone made up for it. The bread was not over toasted either. But the whole place was so expensive. $7.35 was okay for the sandwich, it was a decent size, but everything else was at least over two bucks, the drinks and the snacks. And while I did like my sandwich, the menu was not so unique and amazing that putting up with those prices is no big deal. I would have ordered some chips and bought a sod, but those were the two things that were not priced on their menus. read more

Very rude cashier who acted like she had no time to talk to me or even take my order. She like shouted at me while I was clearly looking at the menu trying to decide what to get. also they didn't have any soups or salads although they advertise to have them, and when I asked about anything being gluten free she said they might have some potato soup left..... read more

Green tea was so weak it pretty much tasted like water and partner's americano was so watered down. We should have walked elsewhere.

I have been consistently over the last month and staff are consistently rude. All of them. Coffee is great but I'm done having it served with a stinking attitude as a way to start my day. read more

The staff here is very rude and the quality of food is lacking. Pastries aren't made on site and are often dry. The gentlemen who makes sandwiches is very sloppy and rushes - half the ingredients all on one side and the other empty. All the egg breakfast items are made in advance and then heated up in the microwave. Expensive for what it is which it too bad because the space is cute and has a lot of potential. read more

Best Scones in Boston! Nice modern space located on congress street. Staff are friendly and service is fast. Maple & Cranberry versions bring me to the door every weekend. My husbands favorite is the savory cheddar and chive. Seriously I took a bunch to work and the decision was unanimous, delicious. The cookies, bars and cakes are really great as well. I might have to visit tomorrow morning :) read more

I'm a huge fan of Sorelle. I don't drink coffee so I can't speak for their selection, but for cafe cuisine, this is as good as it gets. Service is quick and reliable for breakfast in a pinch. Only gets challenging when the line gets long, but you'll get your food fast! When I hit my 2-3pm wall, I'll jump over to Sorelle for one of their well balanced pastries (I say well balanced because I'm not a huge fan of super-sweet pastries). I just had lunch for my first time there and finally felt the need to give my report. I can say it's the only cafe/coffee shop I call myself a regular. read more

I work down the street and come in every once in a while. I find that the food is hit or miss - the Sorelle Club is good, but I have had bad experiences with the Prosciutto Panini. The bigger issue for me is that the employees can be pretty hit or miss, too. Monday mornings are tough for everyone, but getting a coffee should be a bright spot - not one that makes a bad morning worse. For a place that is relatively expensive I would expect much more in terms of customer service. read more

Rudest customer service I've experienced at a business, I will never go back in. And it's overpriced and the quality of food is poor.

Great food, fast service, convenient location...but the real reason I go back is the staff. Best crew in Boston.

I saw all of the reviews that claimed the staff was rude, so I just wanted to mention that the staff has always been very friendly and informative with me. The blueberry scones are to die for, too. Maybe I just got lucky and got the helpful, happy people. read more

Only reason why this is still open is its location to businesses. While its food items look yummy, its definitely tasteless and overpriced. The staff is 50/50, their manager could use several rounds of sensitivity training and be consistent in his demeanor... read more

I have to say, I so want to like this place, but the food is so inconsistent. The staff is exceptionally friendly, but the food prep outside is less than stellar. I have had two brownies with long hair in them - not acceptable. The staff were truly embarrassed and happy to replace them. The salads have been getting smaller and they have added in onions which ruin a salad. read more

These folks hooked us up with some tasty treats on Sunday morning! We took an Amtrak train back to Philadelphia Sunday and needed to eat first and bring some food on the train with us for the 6 hour ride. We had some yummy sandwiches in the cafe first( BLT on toast and a grilled pbj on a ciabatta roll). We then got take out sandwiches-portobello sandwich and avocado and chick pea sandwich- both were awesome. Some carrot cake and flourless chocolate cake came with us for the ride too. Our bellies were full and we even had some food left over for the next day. Thanks Sunday crew! Btw- the train ride was an awesome way to travel from Boston to Philadelphia. Roomy, comfy, quiet and cheaper than flying. And no airport to hassle with. For any of you traveling on Amtrak, stop by Sorelle for some treats for the ride! It's right by the South station. read more

Good frittata and snacks, not too expensive, pretty quick service, and generally good food. So many coffee options and good fresh squeezed juice, too. read more

Very rude staff. They acted as if I should know everything about their "cafe". Simple questions, like "where are the forks" or "may I have my receipt" were met with attitude and eye rolls. I requested a receipt and she goes to her colleague "ugh its going to be this type of day" and she slams the receipt onto the counter. I am sorry I had inconvenienced you so much today and I hope the staff can be a little more pleasant. read more

I am writing my first review because I was so disgusted with the owner of Sorelle. He is very nice to his customers but does not treat his employees well at all. I was there to witness him screaming at one of his young lady employees. She seemed frightened by him. I will never return here again because I cant even stomach the thought of putting money in his pocket. read more

Spectacular surprise!! Sorelle opened. I've been wondering what this place was going to be. I work in the area. Very nice inside - cool. I went 3 time this week and had a great short rib sandwich (terrific bread), a beet, goat cheese salad, and a fruit tart that was delicious. Great coffee.. read more

My girlfriend (who is a diehard Starbucks fan, we don't talk about it much given my Dunkin allegiance) and I went here as part of a coffee tour of Boston and this was the best one we had all day. I had a cappuccino and she had an iced latte and both were delicious, perfectly mixed. I also had an almond biscotti which was very good as well. Great environment too, very clean, modern, classy, like a coffee shop straight out of a magazine, and right on Congress street so it's right near the water and in the thick of the city if you're into that kind of thing. I sure am, and I'll definitely be back here. read more

This is one of my usual morning stops. If you have read some of my reviews you may have gathered that I am a hard core iced coffee drinker and I like it black. Finding good iced coffee can be a chalange because some spots still think its ok to pour the coffee thats been sitting on the hot plate for a few hours into the mix but it is not. Its no more ok than scooping out mayo that has sat out for a bit too long at room temprature, long enough for the exposed bits to start turning translucent and crusty onto your turkey sandwich. Here they know how to make iced coffee and it is delicious. I also recommend their bagles, they have a nice crisp outside that almost snaps when you bite into it while maintaining a fluffy soft and flavorful center. They make a mean muffin and tea breads but I tend to stay away from their scones. Although im not a huge sweets in the morning person their scones tend to be a bit too savory for my liking. If your in the area I suggest this place as a damn good stop. read more

The service was extremely rude and disrespectful. The workers there had little patience with their customers. Experience there would've been much better if customers were treated better. read more

Any place that serves a fig, goat cheese, arugula and prosciutto sandwich that doesn't appeal to me at all isn't worth giving a second chance. Do better. read more

I went with my girlfriend for a quick sandwich. Very poor customer service. Sandwich was good but will not be going back due to the rude service. read more

Very tiny, I do not like the way they display the pastry/muffins unprotected on the counter. If someone coughs or sneezes your done! Also, the staff are not very friendly, and somewhat rude. A little too much attitude. Very slow process. read more

Rude staff. We were new to the bakery so we let someone else cut in front of us while we got our bearings. After he ordered, we tried to order and were told that they would not serve us. They wanted us to go to the back of the line. We left without breakfast. Is this how you welcome newcomers?? read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting Boston for the weekend and were staying in the FInancial District. The area has a good amount of restaurants and quick bites. We ended up at Sorelle, but however, being a vegetarian (or even not) their options are very limited. They don't have a lot of ingredients essential to a sandwich- no choice on dressings, hot peppers, or any spices. The options are very limited and the sandwiches are super bland. But to top it off, I was given an Olive Relish which I had asked the cashier plenty of times if it was vegetarian- she assured me it was and seemed kind of annoyed. I went on to add it to my sandwich and took a bite as that same cashier informs me it has anchovies. She made me a new sandwich and gave me an apology. Then went on and had to repurchase the sides I had with my sandwich. Definitely go somewhere else if possible. It is not worth the money or even food! read more

My main issue is that the staff eat while behind the counter. Sometimes the guy making the bagels and sandwiches is actually eating in between making people's orders. And he does it in a kind of stealthy way as if customers aren't noticing. Seeing someone eating who's about to make your food is super unappetizing. And can't be sanitary. read more

Got a couple of sandwiches from here for lunch. They were good m. But the bearded guy behind the counter was not. He yelled out the wrong order and when we tried to verify if he got the right order, got cocky on us. So overall didn't get the warm feels for this place: read more

Asked for a blueberry muffin. Got a raspberry muffin. An honest mistake, but the muffin also had a big chunk of what looked like either an apple or a pear in it. Not sure as I didn't want to eat whatever it was. read more

This is one of the worst places I've visited in Boston. The food is oily without much ingredients and the cold drinks selection is lukewarm. The worst thing here is the staff. I expect basic politeness, even if I'm not a regular there. However the 2 person behind the counter where busy chatting with presumably a regular customer, ignoring the queue behind her. There were 2 cashiers. After a while 1 of them finally asked for my order. I did not feel compelled to give a tip afterall she's done nothing else besides swiping my card and keying in my order. When she saw no tips she became outrightly rude by ignoring me completely and gave me a black face. Can't help noticing the difference in behaviour she showed to whites n others. read more
