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

Solid popover sandwich. I ordered the bacon, egg and white cheddar cheese on an everything popover. It was ready in about 5 minutes and it was delicious! My only complaint is that the cheese could've been a little more melty, but it was a fantastic way to start the day. 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

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

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

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

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

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

We tried the house breakfast which was two eggs any style (got them fluffy and scrambled), crispy bacon, cheesy potato fritters with tomato jam (similar to ketchup), and sourdough bread (we asked for butter) it was all very filling and some nice spins on a traditional breakfast. The bakery selection is out of this world - from breakfast pastries to delicately crafted desserts. The cinnamon and pecan rose was just like the center of a cinnamon bun, which was fantastic. It was big enough for two people to indulge without overdoing it. There weren't a lot of outlets, so not ideal for long term laptop use, but the food came quickly, it wasn't too loud even with a ton of people coming in and out. The prices were reasonable, and everything tasted amazing.

It's also a great area to walk around if you get your coffee and or pastry to go. It of course gets busy at peak times on weekends and morning during the week. Brunch is big at Tatte, and rightfully so. I don't think it's the best place to try to work, but you can bring a computer in do some work or study, but it can also get loud when there's lots of conversations being held. I've had great interactions with the staff at this location and even when it's busy, I haven't had to wait too long to get my order. I've been loving the pumpkin spice tahini latte this fall. Looking forward to my next stop in!

Another great hit for the Time Out franchise. This is very similar to the other Time Out I went to…read morein Chicago. This one in Boston has a great collection of unique trendy food concepts. There is a wide variety all with great offerings, and a few snack and drink places and a bar. It is a very nice and huge facility, so stylish. The ambiance is great. There was a bird in the rafters which was kind of funny. Unfortunately there is a not a clear online menu that is up to date with all the restaurants and their individual menus on the main Time Out Market website. You have to go into each restaurant and look at their online ordering POS to get to the menu. It was hard to decide what to eat because I could not look at all the options all at once, i had to walk around and look at the individual restaurant menus one at a time. I ended up choosing the Italian food place POE-lenta. I had a very tasty Creamy Chicken Rigatoni. It came with spicy crushed red pepper and grilled lemon as well. It was a good choice and was enjoyable. I did not finish all the chicken but it was pretty good. I also ordered a very yummy mocktail from the bar. I got a Coco Pom, which the bartender described as kind of a pina colada without the rum and with a pomegranate twist. It was really good, I drank it all. They also have convenient cups and a water tap to fill your water by the the two bars. The restroom was huge and very nice, but the stalls are so dark inside, the lighting was so dim I could not really see anything. I think the building should really work on those light levels. There was some appearance of construction ongoing in the hallway to the restrooms. Time Out is a great place to stop and spend some time, with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. It looked like there was also a stage and large projection screen for events.

Oatmeal raisin is never the choice when chocolate chip is around, but Levain's oatmeal raisin is incredible. There are definitely less raisins now than there used to be, but I'm fine with it because I'm really only in it for the soft, cookie dough goodness anyway. Service is quick and speedy since there's always an outrageous line, but well worth it to gain 4lbs in 25 seconds.

The more it sat, the more I was able to taste it. And the mocha they use doesn't seem to be very chocolatey which I'm not a fan of. It's more on the bland side. Maybe it would be better iced but since it's cold outside I wanted something hot. The girl who took my order and made my latte was very nice and very kind. She had a really good vibe coming off her which I love. Five stars for her! So the mocha gets 3 stars, the girl who helped me gets five stars. I may get a cookie to go but haven't decided if I wanna spend $5.75 plus tax on a cookie. The mocha was $5.25 plus tax alone. And the cookies really aren't as big as people say they are. They do look good but I'm not sure if I wanna spend that much on a single cookie. Maybe I'll come back another day. Edit to say I did go back for a cookie. I got the dark chocolate peanut butter chip. The same girl helped me and this wonderful sweet girl gave me an extra cookie. Forget the five stars, she gets infinite stars. I hardly ever have people be that nice to me and she deserves all the recognition and thanks. Been in Boston for literally two hours and I'm already having the best day!!

The hojicha soft serve was incredible and I loved the latte too. Do note that they use thin petal shaped pieces of ice throughout the latte to support the ice cream. So the latte is going to be 80% ice. However, the liquid in the latte is extremely concentrated to make up for this, so I recommend breaking up the ice and dissolving it a bit to really enjoy the latte as much as possible. The place was busy and some tabletops/chairs were sticky. There was some outdoor seating but it was a bit uncomfortable in the cold. It also took a while to get our drinks. The line is long but a kiosk is available to skip the line!

The staff was super nice, and patient, as I decided on which 6 donuts to get. The stars of the show were the Boston crème and the cake batter. Yum!! You could tell how fresh they were. There was a perfect amount of filling where it wasn't soggy or too dry. I definitely recommend bringing these somewhere where a group of people can split them. They are definitely on the bigger side and it's more fun to try many flavors in good company :)

I came here with 2 friends to work from home and we had a great time! I can attest it's a solid spot to WFH. They have one large (more communal) table which is where we sat, as well as a handful for 2 seaters for folks to either sit alone or across from a friend. Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!

They have standard coffee and tea, beverages, but also some fun seasonal drinks and they have non-dairy milk alternatives! All of the bakery items are gorgeous and I don't think you could go wrong with whatever you choose to try. I appreciate that for the bakery items. They also display the allergens on the little cards, which is super convenient for anyone with allergies or restrictions. The service is friendly and there is a surprising amount of seating inside, which is great to take advantage of the natural light from the big windows. There's also some seating outside when the weather is nice.

We ordered a birthday cake from them, and it was perfectly made. The cake itself had multiple, well-defined layers and was impressively tall, providing a really great portion size for the price. The texture and flavor were spot-on, the cream filling and frosting weren't too heavy or overly sweet, so the whole cake still felt light and enjoyable to eat, even with all the rich chocolate inside. Based on this excellent experience, we'll definitely be considering them for their more elaborate custom-shaped cakes in the future for other special occasions. They clearly know their craft.
