I'll miss the "old" Pressed with their flavorful sandwiches and excellent order management.

This place might be busy, but the wait to order is not very long.. 10 minutes at most and then you can get your coffee as they give you a cup to put it yourself, sit down, inside or outside ( in surprised the outside want packed as it was a really nice day to be sitting outside) as they have tables outside too, and wait for your name to be called which again isn't long as they have 3 people preparing the food. Or even less waiting if you just order bagels to go as they just pack up what you want right after you pay. The coffee might be self serve, but it was good and the bagel was great, I haven't tried the gingerbread man in my photos which I just bought cause I really liked his ugly face. The only downside I see for this place is that there is no accessible entrance and they could invest in converting the rear entrance into a ramp.

Violante Farms is a fabulous place but a little deceiving. When I pulled in, I assumed I was going…read moreto a farmstand. Yes a large farmstand. Once inside, it was more like a semi firearm, stand supermarket. Some items are grown on the farm some sourced from other farms and some just regular grocery items that you would find at any generic supermarket. The vegetables that were grown on this farm were all marked and were fabulous but they were very far and few between. they were selling some local farms goods which increased the options of locally grown. I did like the bread section some locally made in some generic.. they also have foods that are prepackaged. I like the items that were made at the farm. The others were just overpriced generic items. all in all I'd say about 40 to 50% is grown and produced, the rest are just basic generic grocery items with a higher price on them. The space is fabulous very refreshing and comfortable to walk around. the staff always seems nice, polite, and willing to answer questions. I definitely suggest that you stop in as it is a great place to shop. as for parking, they have a huge private parking lot and space outside to sit. They also have greenhouse plants for sale.

One of the greenhouses was completely just mums. They really looked stunning. The prices were about triple for the groceries. Everything was perfect but so it should be at that price. Outside they had huge bins of the various varieties on apples. Just remember to bring your wallet.

But I'm going to tell you everybody hustles of this place. The orders come up fast even though it was busy. We sat down at the counter and ordered up a Ryan, it is a signature roast beef coleslaw lettuce, onions, tomato with Swiss sandwich... It had Russian dressing on it and the roll was as fresh as the roast. Beef was rare. Absolutely delicious!. The iced tea was real and tasty and you could add your own sugar to get it to the right sweetness and we added a drink from the refrigerators that will help yourself. The milkshakes look delicious, but we decided to split a cookie which tasted homemade and very chocolatey for the ride home. What a great place with inside and outside seating. Employees that work hard but smile and food that was as fresh as possible. We will be back.

Popovers at Church Square is a charming neighborhood bakery and café on Church Street that is…read moreperfect for breakfast, brunch, or a casual lunch. The café has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with comfortable seating and a relaxed pace that makes it easy to settle in with a coffee and enjoy a freshly made meal. It has the kind of local feel that encourages you to slow down rather than rush in and out. The popovers are the reason I wanted to visit, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Served fresh from the oven, they were light, airy, and beautifully golden on the outside with a soft interior. They paired perfectly with butter and jam, and it is impressive how something so simple can be so satisfying when it is made well. The portion size was generous, and considering the quality, I thought they offered excellent value. The rest of the menu is just as appealing if you are looking for a more substantial meal. The breakfast and lunch sandwiches are made with fresh ingredients and are generously filled, making them much more than a side to the bakery items. Everything looked thoughtfully prepared, and pairing a sandwich with a fresh popover and a cup of coffee made for a filling and enjoyable meal. The service was friendly and efficient, helping create the kind of neighborhood café experience that makes you want to come back. It can get busy during breakfast and on weekends, but the staff keeps things moving well, and the atmosphere remains comfortable even when the café is full. Overall, Popovers at Church Square is one of those local spots that is easy to recommend. The freshly baked popovers are the clear highlight, but the quality sandwiches, generous portions, welcoming atmosphere, and reasonable prices make it a place I would happily return to whenever I am in the Wellesley area.

""Meet me at the deli, meet me at the bar."…read more(The Strokes) Gianni's is a family-owned deli and pizzeria on Highland Street in the heart of Needham's busy Central Business District. They don't occupy a particularly large space -it's dominated by an ordering station with a big menu board over it, and a small showcase for their highly rated pizzas. Why "highly rated"? Well, they scored a 7.9 rating on Barstool sports, just a scant .1 of a point from their 8.0's description of "exceptional and rare". But we weren't there for pizza, we wanted to pick up some subs for a few lunches on our weekend trip. They have 14 "cold" and 10 "hot" sandwiches, and the pricing structure really makes you a fool if you don't go big. Our Italian and Ham and Cheese subs were prices at $11.99 for small and $12.99 for a large, so you tell me what choice you would make? My large Italian sub easily provided a satisfying half for Friday lunch and a second half for Saturday lunch. It was an excellent sandwich with plenty of meat on a pillowy soft sesame breaded sub roll with lettuce, tomato, onions and vinegar, Have I had subs with more meat? Of course I have. But have I paid around $20 for comparably sized subs? Of course I have. So, was I happy for Gianni's value, considering quality, quantity, and price? One thousand percent YES. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our visit very much. Of Note Their parking lot is tiny, so it would be challenging to negotiate on a perfect weather day. It was a snowy mess when we visited, and the mounds of snow and sardine-like jam-up of cars made the lot a hard pass for us. We ended up parking in the big lot across the street, behind Blue On Highland and walked over.
