The food is passable - standard Sysco fare. The coffee is straight garbage. Some of the staff are friendly. It's very cheap and in my office building so I'll keep going here.

Can't access the cafe if you're not an employee at the building.

Good selection and quality. Good local vendor representation. Coffee needs improvement - unsure if it is the machines or the method as the beans have changed over the years. Would be nice to have self service for entrees so as to cut down on lines.

First timer. Great prices for cheap eats. Omelet toast an coffee less than $5.00

For a cafeteria, they have 2 strong pluses: a constantly changing menu (with a few recurring favorites), and reasonable quality to their food. Plus the service is prompt and friendly. The biggest drawback is they don't believe in signs for some reason, so for example, you never know at the counters where to stand, where to order, where the waiting line is, etc. A few signs would go a long way in ending the daily chaos at lunch.

I work in the same building, its pretty great to be able to go downstairs and grab a quality meal at a decent price for lunch. They change the menu as much as a cafe can and a majority of the meals are solid.

Nice selection of breakfast and lunch staples inside of Brighton Landing. The large open seating area features TVs tuned to ESPN, but the prime seating is outside with plenty of tables and umbrellas. They offer hot entrees, soups, sandwiches made to order, salad bar, and national brand beverages, snacks, candy, etc.

I work at WGBH and this cafeteria blows all work cafeterias out of the water. The cooks are sassy and fun and the food is delicious. The salad bar is always fresh and the specials are hard to resist. From Sushi Mondays, to Gold Finger Fridays, it's hard not to get something every day. Great price if you're around the area or in the building. Say hi to Diva or Adam for me!

Came here after physical therapy in the building. Surprising large and affordable for a office building cafeteria. I wouldn't really call this a "cafe" though- it reminded me of my college's dining hall. I was here on Red Sox's opening day and the staff all had sox shirts on. They also had hotdogs, pretzels, and popcorn in addition to regular food. Food was okay, popcorn was really good! I wish the building did a better job of letting people know the cafe exists- I only knew about it because I saw people walking around with food and then asked the security guard- no signs or anything on the bottom floor.
Got the Pad Thai today. Was pretty psyched but it was flavorless - and no peanuts! What gives?

I contract with WGBH and I come here for breakfast and lunch every day. The menu and the food are amazing. The prices are low and the portions are quite large. I have had grilled steak, pork chops and cordon blue for less than $7 each.

The Brighton Landing Cafe - also it appears to be called "The Landing Cafe," is located in the building at 20 Guest Street and services the various tenants of the building and their visitors. Had lunch one day here. Went for a nice greens salad with jalapenos, black olives, carrots, cherry tomatoes, red onions, broccoli, cauliflower, feta cheese, and croutons, and a dark balsamic vinaigrette, plus their Cajun Turkey Panini sandwich with a lightly spicy Cajun Remoulade sauce. And a bottle of cold water. Salad items were fresh, crisp and tasty. Balsamic vinaigrette was light and yet full of flavor. The Cajun Turkey Panini was excellent - the turkey was meat was tender, hot and succulent, and the cheese and Remoulade sauce in the sandwich was creamy and outstanding - a perfect accompaniment to the panini bread and turkey meat! Afterward I went back for a large cup of coffee. Strong, tasty, robust! There were lots of other food options in this cafe - many other sandwiches, pizza, a variety of hot foods of the day, salads, and more! Would love to have access to a cafeteria/cafe like this on a regular basis!
