“Highest quality ingredients. Incredible mini burrito. Soft chewy cookies. Great salsa (was better when they had the spicy habanero salsa.”
“Sandwiches are around $12 or so but they are HUGE - definitely two meals worth.If you are catering, one sandwich can be halved and wrapped for two people.Fresh homemade ingredients. Exceptionally clean - very friendly staff. Gift cards available.Can get very busy at peak times.Great prices and top notch food”
“Something about that Cajun Alfredo hits different!”
“This is a good spot if you're in the Longwood Area and need nourishment before 11AM. After 11, there are so many options that make this place a non-factor. If you're at Brigham and don't want to travel, I suppose it's an alright choice. I do note some of the sanitary concerns that one reviewer expressed but I am pretty slovenly myself and just moved past the fact that they don't change out their gloves after handling their phone or the register. I also recognize that if we saw how most of our food was prepared, we would be vegans that ate exclusively at home. I got the pre-pacakged chickpea salad and the turkey pesto half-panini. The former had plenty of kick and might be off-putting to people who don't like too much spice. The turkey in turkey pesto is cold cuts and not grilled or roasted turkey but the price is okay, about $5-6. When you add up the taxes and tip, it was around $15. You can definitely get more for your money elsewhere in the area but great if you're in a pinch. But pretty darn good for a cafe in a hospital where the fare and atmosphere are usually bleaker.”
“Its got what you need when youre hungry. Great breakfast options.”
“Was happy with this being available. Prices were reasonable given they have a captive audience. Small menu has lunch staples and everything is fresh.”
“Food was very good. I especially enjoyed the carrot ginger bisque. The spring tart was a little under-salted.”
“I absolutely loved the rich, velvety texture of the Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino the perfect harmony of sweet and salty in every sip!”
“Friendly service, perfectly al dente pasta, and amazing cannoli”
“Was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the food and drinks given this is a museum cafe! We had the salmon caesar salad and pesto shells with burrata, and both were light enough to eat on a hot day and portions were generous. We also tried the sangria and the sparkling cava - the sangria was a bit too sweet for my liking, but I found the cava to be nice and refreshing. I thought prices were reasonable at roughly $30 pp for an entree and a drink at a museum. Service was a bit spotty but friendly, and we sat outside, which was nice.”
