What a novel idea! Who doesn't like Popovers?! They have plain, savory, and sweet ones. The even make a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Popover! Must come back for breakfast! I ordered a plain. It was heated up and served with butter. Excellent and very yummy! It's located in the Boston Public Market (about 1/4 mile from Quncy Market). Scaled down and not as crazy as Quincy (ww had just come from there). The woman that served me (maybe she's The Popover Lady?) was very pleasant and helpful. Can't wait tomgo back! read more

Had a little time to kill before our flight out and this was a block from our hotel. It was delicious. Got a couple savory and a sweet and enjoyed all of them. It's also convenient to a bunch of other places in the market so you can get coffee or a donut to round out the meal. Swing in and grab it to go or eat at the tables in the market. read more

The Popover Lady makes good popovers which in turn make very good breakfast sandwiches! I was looking for something hearty and filling and this definitely fit the bill. The popover was light and fluffy which paired very well with the weightier egg, cheese, and sausage. I visited on the weekend and they were busy, put the sandwich was ready pretty quickly and served nice and hot. read more

Stumbled across the Boston Public Market and wandered through to find this gem. I'm from NYC and grew up going to a restaurant that specialized in popovers. It's been over 20 years but these popovers instantly took me back to the great memories of my childhood. I ordered the mixed mini set which was conveniently packaged and made it home on my flight today. I also ordered an Asiago popover which was warmed up as I waited. It was light, buttery, with a hint of cheese. I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy them again. The vibrant atmosphere of the market was fast pace but still felt cozy. read more

The popovers are amazing! I didn't know I liked popovers this much until I tried one. I went to visit the stall after having a bagel and was thinking I was just going to get another carb item. Boy was I wrong! These things are so different than a regular bagel and I regretted not getting these instead. They're so fluffy, crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside and somehow has so much airy texture in between. It has an eggy flavor so something between bread and pastry. The popover lady heats it up right there for you (or it could be freshly made) and it is so warm and soft. It's $4 for a regular sized popover and I got the Asiago cheese flavor with nothing in it. It was already packed with flavor from the cheese, no cream cheese or filling needed. It's so good we went right back to get more to take home. Next time, we will have to get the sandwich version to see what those taste like. read more

All I can say is that I didn't know that I needed an asiago cheese popover when I woke up on Sautrday morning. By the time I got to the Boston Public Market and saw the plump dough-y popovers, it was love at first sight. The asiago cheese definitely came through, but didn't overpower the delicateness of the pastry. Two pats of butter were the perfect amount to accompany every airy and light morsel. I loved it from end to end and am thankful that the Popover Lady exists! read more

Fluffy popover, toasted upon ordering, and melty gooey cheese...what more could you ask of a breakfast egg sandwich? Great departure from my typical croissant sandwich and not as heavy as a biscuit. Conveniently found in the Boston Public Market and they serve Boston cream pies as well!

I needed to eat something savory to recover from the box of overly cloying baked goods at Mike's Pastry down the street. Just to settle my stomach. A popover was just the ticket. I picked a regular one. Warm and smeared with butter, it was light and crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. I also tried the Asiago and the Onion. All three were really good. I finally got the popover I'd been wanting since I arrived on the east coast. read more

I will say breakfast has never been my favorite meal of this day but a bacon, egg, and cheese Popover what the winner for best food we had at the Boston Public Market. Sorry to the French but these popovers are much better then any croissant I have ever had. The other nice thing about the Popover Lady is that the cheese they you is so creamy and has so much flavor. Also check out the pictures but they really load up on the bacon too. Nothing is more frustrating then a breakfast sandwich lacking in the bacon. For a amazing breakfast/brunch or even lunch sandwich this is the place to go and the winner of our trip to Boston Public Market. read more

The Popover Lady is located in the corner of the Boston Public Market next to Crescent Ridge and across from Mother Juice. It's a small stall front with a few different popover options. I got the asiago popover and turned it into a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich that I got toasted. The worker asked me if I wanted any salt, pepper, or hot sauce and I only opted for salt and regretted it later. The popover is super light, fluffy, and airy with a slight crisp from the toasting. The service was quick and my popover sandwich was wrapped nicely in foil. Overall, something different to try and a little bit lighter than a bagel sandwich. read more

The moment you see the pink neon popover sign you know you're in for a treat. The Popover Lady is an absolute hidden gem! It's clear they take pride in what they do, and the quality shines through in every bite. What stands out the most is the perfect balance of texture--crispy on the outside, soft and eggy on the inside. Even my cats like these popovers. They never steal people food, but both have stolen Asiago Cheese popovers right out of my bag when I've bought them home. If you're at the Boston Public Market, do yourself a favor and stop by The Popover Lady--you won't be disappointed! read more

Great service and tasty product! Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** I got mine to eat in person at BPM, so my pancake was heated up and served in a little tray. She asked if I wanted any toppings on the side, and I requested syrup and butter. I got everything with a fork, knife, and napkin, so it was a perfect package all ready to eat -- super convenient! **Decor and cleanliness, 5/5** This stall is located in BPM, which is very cute and well maintained. The stall itself and the displays were also super clean, and the woman helping me was wearing a mask and prepared everything with gloves. **Presentation of the food, 5/5** After heating up my blueberry dutch baby pancake ($5), she dusted it with sugar and served it to me with all my requested condiments. The pancake itself is very cute and they're really generous with the blueberries. **Price and portion, 5/5** I thought this was the perfect size for a snack, but not enough for a breakfast. $5 is a bit high for what I would usually spend, but I totally understand because rent in BPM is probably high plus small business owners need more support right now. **Taste of the food, 4/5** Like any pancake, it was a bit bland without the syrup, so I'm glad I was able to get that on the side. It's also my first dutch baby pancake, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I think I would've liked either more fluffiness and more toasted edges/bottom for some crunch and to mix up the textures a bit. Still SUPER good though and a perfect start to my day :) read more

I brought a mix of three (original, asiago cheese, and toasted onion) and a mini box of cinnamon sugar flavor. I did not heat it up since it was taken away, but the was still fluffy without heating up. I dipped the original and cinnamon sugar flavor with vanilla ice cream, it taste really good. The asiago cheese and toasted onion, I heated up but it kind of tastes similar. the asiago cheese doesn't have a strong flavor compared to the toasted onion flavor. I do recommend the original and the cinnamon sugar flavor. read more

2021/06/26 16:00 Since popovers are such a rarity nowadays, I felt I had to get something when I passed by this stall in the Boston Public Market I got a Popover Egg & Cheese with Canadian Bacon and a Toasted Onion Popover. Here are the highlights: - They toasted the popover to order. It was warm and crunchy, but not particularly custard-y inside. I really appreciated that they didn't smush the popover when they wrapped the sandwich in foil. - The Canadian Bacon was salty, while everything else was not. It ended up being a good balance, but the saltiness of the ham made the popover seem bland. read more

My wife is English, so I've had a fair number of Yorkshire puddings and those are quite similar to what they're serving up at The Popover Lady in Boston Public Market. A very flexible platform that does savory just as well as it does sweets though I prefer sweets. Today, I got one of their "Dutch Baby" style popovers, which is a very large "bowl" of batter and then a big scoop of fresh blueberry jam added to it. They'll also dust it with powdered sugar but it really doesn't need it as it is sweet enough. Easy to eat with knife and fork, get yourself a coffee from George Howell or better yet, a tea from Soluna. read more

My first popover from The Popover Lady was back in 2016, when she was a temporary pop-up at Boston Public Market over by where Levend Bagelry currently resides. I picked up 3 popovers for $7 and I figured maybe I like the thought of popovers more than the reality of them. This time, I tried one of her cinnamon sugar popovers, and it was like, would you like some popover with your cinnamon and sugar? So, yes, it was good. Kind of funny though, being served by a man at The Popover Lady. read more

Tasty food, nice crunch, friendly staff, decent price - what's not to love? Price wasn't too bad for the location (Boston public market isn't that cheap) and this economy- $6 for the egg and cheese and $7.50 for the blt. Popover sandwiches are lovely flaky and light bread bowls stuffed with goodness. The blt popover was definitely worth it - I think I should have gotten an extra cheese and the bacon with the egg and cheese popover as well as a asked for a bit more ketchup and hot sauce... next time I guess? read more

After that was the movie - 'She's the Man' - very appropriate soccer movie! It was a fun rom-com and the whole crowd enjoyed it! And then afterwards was the next match! Beautiful evening- I'm sitting here on a blanket on the grass as I'm writing this. Cool evening perfect temps tonight - enjoying this very much! They're also showing the match inside.

Levain Bakery - Back Bay, Boston

And in Boston, I did just that. Levain is perfect and in my selfish definition, the BEST chocolate chip walnut cookie out there. We managed to visit twice to get our fix. Altogether we ordered the Cookie Milk Latte, an Iced Chai Latte, 1 Black Iced Tea, Raspberry Pistachio cookies, the OG Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie and the vegan version. The cookies here make me drool every time. They are a mound. The chewiest pocket of cookie perfectly baked. Every bite feels like heaven. The raspberry pistachio was a fun summery add, it tasted berry-good with creaminess from the pistachio. Service is quick, line up and someone will help you; everything moves pretty smoothly. And they have outside seating available as well as 4 bar stools by the front window. Thank you for existing Levain!

Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip: My parents prefer the coconut flavor, but the chocolate's sweetness completely overwhelmed everything! You couldn't taste the caramel or the coconut. I'll never order chocolate chip cookies again.

It was quite interesting- not what I had expected and next time I would ask to omit the olive tapenade. I asked for ketchup to add in. It was a really good portion- probably 2 or 3 eggs. Very hearty and filling. The friend ordered the eggplant quinoa bowl which comes in this sauce and very cheesy. Comes with bread - really tasty! Bartender was friendly and service was great!

It's definitely on the…read morepricey side at $40 for the regular roll, but it's absolutely packed with fresh lobster meat and comes with fries. If you're looking for a smaller portion, they also offer a junior lobster roll for $30, which also includes fries. I also tried the clam chowder. It wasn't bad by any means, but I didn't think it was anything special, especially compared to how incredible the lobster roll was. The atmosphere is fun and casual. They have these funny skeleton decorations scattered around the property that gave the place a lot of personality. Ordering is simple--you place your order at the register, receive a table number, and the staff brings your food out once it's ready. Service was friendly, and the wait for food wasn't long at all. The indoor dining area is fairly small, but there is plenty of outdoor seating. Most tables have umbrellas for shade, and there's also a larger covered seating area if you want even more protection from the sun or rain. They also have self-serve water stations outside, which is a nice touch on a hot day. Parking is limited because the lot is small, but it's free if you're lucky enough to grab a spot. Best of all, the outdoor patio is pet friendly, so we were able to enjoy an amazing lobster roll with Luna by our side. I would absolutely come back--the lobster roll alone is worth the trip!

Starting this off by saying: it's overpriced…read more Parking is difficult to find, and you have to pay for it. I mean, it's Boston, so I get it -it's a tourist area - but it's still worth mentioning. The ordering process is simple: order at the counter, grab a table, and wait for your food. I also wasn't a fan of seeing one of the staff members standing at the bar right next to us eating with an earbud in. It wasn't a huge deal, but it didn't feel very professional. We as in my boyfriend ordered both the cold Maine-style lobster roll with mayonnaise and the warm Connecticut-style lobster roll. The positives: * The bun was a perfect 10/10 soft, buttery, and toasted perfectly. * The lobster tasted fresh. * The lobster-to-bun ratio was decent, although I personally prefer the more generous portions you get in Maine. * The atmosphere was great with baseball on the TVs and a fun Boston vibe. Very seaport forward. The downsides: * The Connecticut-style roll barely had any butter and definitely needed more. * The lobster was slightly overcooked probably by a few minutes which made it a bit tougher than it should have been. * At around $40 per lobster roll, I expected better execution. The clam chowder was also disappointing. I kept wondering where the clams were because I barely tasted any. It was very thick and mostly tasted like corn. Even after adding salt and pepper, it didn't improve much. Overall, I expected more for the price. There were definitely some highlights, especially the bun with fresh lobster and the atmosphere, but the food didn't quite live up to the cost. That said, I'll give it another try because maybe this was just a fluke. I always like giving restaurants a second chance, and I'm hoping this experience was the exception rather than the norm.

I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

Colette Bakery is a small French-style bakery in Boston's South End that focuses on traditional…read moreviennoiserie, pastries, and coffee in a clean, minimalist space. We walked into a café with a calm, neighborhood feel, a few indoor seats, and some outdoor seating that made it feel more like a grab-and-go or quick stop than a place to linger for long stretches. The design was simple, which kept the focus on the pastries displayed at the counter, and the energy of the room stayed relaxed and approachable throughout the visit. The pastries are the main reason to visit. We ordered a few items and found the croissants and other viennoiserie standing out for their buttery texture and light, flaky layers, with a selection that included classics like canelés, tarts, and filled pastries. The menu felt rooted in traditional French baking rather than overly modern or experimental interpretations, and everything was displayed in a way that made it easy to pick a few items and build a small tasting selection. The quality of the baked goods was consistent across what we tried. The croissants were light and well layered, while some of the other pastries leaned richer and more indulgent without feeling overly heavy. There was also a small selection of savory items and coffee, which made it easy to pair a pastry with a drink for a quick breakfast or afternoon stop. The service was friendly and efficient, and the space felt relaxed even during busier periods. Since the bakery is on the smaller side, there may be limited seating depending on the time of day, but most people seemed to be coming in for takeout. The pace of service worked well for the style of the café, and the staff moved through orders without any unnecessary delay. Overall, Colette Bakery is a solid stop in the South End for well-made French pastries and a simple coffee break. The quality of the baked goods and the straightforward atmosphere make it a place we would return to when we want something classic and well executed without a full café experience.

If you want to try the cannolis at a non-crowded location, this is your best bet compared to the North End. Also, there's tables and chairs to sit and eat since it's a food hall. It was great cause there was a heat wave, and there's A/C. I'm sure that's also helpful in winter to keep warm. I had already been to the North End location twice, but this is better. Might not be the OG, but it still hits the spot. This time, I tried one of their featured cannolis - Dubai Chocolate. That flavor has been the craze for a year or so now. I definitely preferred this flavor over the hazelnut. I liked the pistachio one I had years ago, so I knew I would like this. Plus, it has chocolate. I liked that the shell was coated with chocolate. I could've added pistachios at each end because I asked and he offered, but I decided not to. I liked the little bits of kataifi in it with the pistachio and ricotta filling. I'm glad I had a fork to eat it after a few bites. I ate half since it can be really rich. The guy was really friendly and explained the other desserts they had like whoopie pies, brownies, cheesecake and raspberry jelly danish. My friend enjoyed the danish though the jelly can be really sweet. If that's your thing, I'd say go for it. I would've tried the cheesecake, but I still had the cannoli, and we were trying to head back before the 4th of July fireworks to walk to The Esplanade. Next time! So, if you want a more "low key" Mike's Pastry with excellent service, come here! Also, he gave us the food hall's restroom code before we purchased anything. Much appreciated since there's limited restrooms around Boston unless you're at a restaurant or near the Freedom Trail attractions/park where there's a visitor center.
