Ordered a bagel with cream cheese. received an unsliced, cold bagel and cream cheese on the side. ate my peasant meal in the back of the ambulance
Visited Boston and I stopped by for a chicken parm sub and it was on point ! It did not disappoint ! The flavor, the taste of the herbs in my mouth and the cheese was just enough …! Chicken tender and again the sauce and flavor of it all… was amazing I’m missing it already !
Why would they put whipped cream on an almond milk coffee?!?!
These folks are delightful. We had an order for over 30 people and they helped us get all the food as quickly as possible. All of the food was great. When we have another trip to Boston we will definitely be visiting them again.
This place is overrated, they advertise as if they are a healthy food spot but they are not. DO NOT ORDER their french fries, they are greasy, burnt, and overpriced. They fill their sandwiches with all these fatty dressings and sauces. They sell a lot of fried greasy food. Their menu is also overpriced for what they are selling. CLOVER FOOD LAB needs to go back to the lab and stop selling greasy overpriced food. You're better off going to SWEET GREENS next door. They are a much healthier option in my opinion.
This place is going to become one of my favorites. I can't believe this is all vegan!! The Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter has fried mushrooms with spicy sauce and salads on side. Crunchy and yummy. Also tried store-made ginger soda. Definitely different from ginger ale. It's less sweet and has more natural/real ginger flavor. Was not as bloating despite being carbonated. Really enjoyed the combo for lunch. Also packaging (eg the cup for the soda was made out of plants per label?!) is environmentally friendly as well 👍.
Really poor experience. Our lunch for two cost nearly $50. Meatball sub, fries and shwarma bowl with a water bottle. Like many others have shared, the ingredients in the bowl were cold, and inedible. How this place has a 4.5 star average is beyond me. The pricing needs to be updated so other families aren't surprised when they walk in.
If you are alone it is better to buy slices. I ordered medium size pizza and it was like extra large. I could not eat half of it. Restaurant needs to be more clean. Credit cards are accepted. Buffalo chicken pizza was good.
They have 1 month that dont offer espresso, saying that the coffe machine doesnt work.
I find it difficult to belive that they cant fix a machine in one month. I think they dont want to spend too much time in preparing capuchino etc.
Its very disappointing that a coffee shop doesnt have a coffe machine 😔

Tried the Shawarma Bowl. Food is delicious, but potion size is for a child. I'd need at least two bowls to make it a meal. It's all lettuce underneath, with sprinkles of quinoa.
We had lunch here during our recent visit to boston. We ordered the Mediterranean bowl and pushpir sandwich. The food tasted good but it was super cold. The ingredients put in our bowl were grabbed right out of refrigerator. It ruined our entire eating experience. It felt like we were eating leftovers right from fridge. I would expect atleast a room temperature meal. The pushpir sandwich tasted good but again had same problem.
Not sure what happened with this chicken parm sub. Bread was mangled. Good thing they gave me a fork and knife to eat my sub.
I found a one inch screw in my bowl after bitting down on it in my meal today. I had taken my order to go but upon finding this, I walked back to clover with the bowl and the screw. I spoke to an employee who was very apologetic and showed another line cook. The employee was unable to get a manager to speak to me and they simply asked me to write my email down after about two minutes. I was too shocked to make a fuss about this at the time and simply left as I had to head back to work for the afternoon and had a busy schedule.
I have been a loyal customer of this clover since I began working in the LMA in September 2019, I have recommended countless coworkers to Clover. I have even bought the meal kit boxes from Clover. This was absolutely disgusting and ruined my appetite for lunch and for Clover. I will not be returning to Clover and I have been sure to share my experience with my colleagues. I have heard nothing from Clover and it’s been over six hours. Absolutely disgusting way to treat customers.

This was a good spot. I had a pepperoni and mushroom slice and a spinach and roasted garlic slice. The pep/mushroom was a bit greasy, but the taste was great. Perfect for a quick bite.
Manager, Pasa, is top shelf. he was kept on from when the space was au bon Pain. Great guy good person running the floor here. I have had only a few very .I or issues and he always has resolved the issue. I always walk out happy and satisfied with food and service.
Omg. Yum! The 1/2 cheese 1/2 pepperoni pizza. The onion rings. The garlic cheese bread & the Caesar salad. The portions are definitely for sharing. I’m a little person but I love to try new spots.
We just saw the Blue Man Group, hit this spot up. Just a few blocks away!

Yo ordene un chimi, lo cosineros se la pasaron en musica y hablando mas que trabajan. El chimi con la carne sobre quemada y con queso americano.
I ordered a beef chimi and the meat was nearly burnt rubber, the chefs were talking and being distracted messed up my sandwich, let alone put yellow american cheese on a chimi.
Never coming here again completely disgusted with the quality. The women upfront were polite and i wholeheartedly respect that and their service.
Its the cooks that didnt do their job.

The worse customer service. I received my order wrong and complain and they respond with a very aggressive attitude. Don’t know how to take phone calls order.
A solid option in lieu of the more crowded and pricier New American Cafe upstairs. At the cafeteria we got in almost right away whereas the wait upstairs was 45 minutes or longer. The food quality was good. The dessert selection is very good. And seating was ample. Also, kudos to a staff that are extremely fast, efficient and polite.
The staff are sooo nice! They checked in with me frequently and gave me some recommendations for the area, since it was my first time visiting. I got the spiced chai latte (hot) and the grilled chicken sandwich, and both were absolutely delicious.
terrible nighttime service. they shouldn’t stay open this late if they’re going to be making things wrong. wasted $25 on these guys in an attempt to try something new. never again.
The folks were super nice in there. It felt like they were just happy to be there. One of the employees helped a girl get a bag since hers tore in half. It was nice and warm inside which I LOVED. Vibes were good and I would deff recommend.
This has been one of my favorite take out places in downtown for years. I was stressed out about packing to leave the country for a month, just wanted a familiar, filling and good dinner and even though Im all the way in Somerville now, and these guys didn't disappoint. The food prep & delivery from Uber was super fast and their buffalo chicken wrap as always was grilled to perfection. Their menu is huge and even though I always go back to their wraps, everything else I've ordered has always been incredible too. If you need an affordable meal made with care and fresh ingredients, this is your spot friends.
I haven’t eaten much Dominican food, but I thought it was a delicious ham and cheese sandwich on that amazing crispy and flaky Latin American bread.
One sandwich is also big enough to split between two people unless you are starving.
Desserts -flan, tres leches, looked good though I didn’t get any.

Super friendly and welcoming staff, the drink comes in cute mugs too. Very relaxing atmosphere and the prices are amazingly reasonable too!
This place is so delicious! Every bite feels like coming home to mom's kitchen. The chai latte was also one of the best I've ever had!
Friends and I stopped by to grab a bite and witnessed a really beautiful moment! A child and their parent were in the store, and their Minnie balloon floated to the ceiling with no string attached. An employee named Victor tried to grab the balloon and when they couldn’t, Victor went to the back, grabbed a step stool and got the balloon down. Victor deserves some recognition!
Maria gave us our food, 3 soups and sandwiches, and all were good.

I love this place so so much .I never write reviews so it says something that I am now . I just started working down the street and I’m so glad I found this gem. I was all over the place this morning and totally forgot I ordered breakfast and they called me to remind me to pick it up and even reheated my food. They never seem annoyed either. I’ve ordered so many times and not once have I been disappointed. Esp when it comes to coffee - I’m usually such a diva and picky but I’m always so content. They know what they’re doing. I know one sip and I’ll wake up 😅 they make me feel like I belong too. I always leave smiling . Love these people!
This little place is nice. One way they could drastically improve is to put the food on real plates with real silverware. This is inside a building with a very cool history, it is across the street from the state house. I understand people try to save money, but for the people dining in, they need to have something of substance. I felt like I was camping using those cheap little plastic utensils.
The chickpea fritter sandwich was just what I was hoping for. All ingredients present and correct. Slightly messy if not eaten carefully but it was worth it. Also loved the Mediterranean bowl and the potato salad was special, whatever they put in there.
I love the environmentally sustainable approach they strive for, locally sourced ingredients, etc.
Can’t wait to try them again!

We were disappointed after reading so many wonderful reviews.
Given that it is Italian owned, the coffee was surprisingly bad. We ordered an iced-latte and instead of getting a shot of espresso, cold milk and ice, we got a weird pre-made drink that tasted like diluted burnt coffee.
Ps. They don’t have a restroom.

Place was nice and staff were friendly, but food was HORRIBLE. Braised Beef & the chicken were horrible, toppings were weird and the rice was bland tasting. Was not worth the price if I’m being honest.
We are tourists who do not understand English very well but so far we have not had a problem anywhere except here. The waiter could not have been more unpleasant and rude, making faces at us, without looking at us and without showing interest in understanding us. He didn't even let us ask and we had to leave. Nothing recommended.
Setup as an auto kiosk now gives it the ambiance of a convenience store. Ordered a sandwich, bagel and a Pepsi for $18. I know Panera is more expensive than others but, I guess this has a premium because it’s in the hospital. They used to have seating but it looks like they lost that to the hospital.
The bagel was okay, they’re smaller now. I couldn’t taste bacon on my sandwich but, saw it. The Diet Pepsi was flat out of the fountain.
All-in-all it was edible but I spent 20 years in the Corps. So maybe I’m not the person that should be setting the bar.
Panera can do better, or at least they used to…

I assume the place sucks during the morning & lunch rush. Came here when it was dead at 8pm. Pretty awesome its 24hr shop. Cheers!!!
Amazing food and great customer service!
Very good quinoa bowl. they just forgot to give the tahini sauce. I wish they gave a bit more hummus and taziki too. Bowls are very customizable. The meat was juicy and flavorful.
Was craving a sweet treat but not the extra protein…… nasty.
Yesterday we had a great experience making our stop at the Capitol coffee house. The food was quick and yummy. My daughter loved the plain omelet. We loved the view and the warm company of the staff. We highly recommend this place. Thank you.
Very sad experience. Portion size is less than 1/3 compared to what they show in their menu photos. The bowls/dishes were more than half empty. The fritters tiny.
Better order double if you don’t want to end up hungry.

I recently had the pleasure of ordering catering for 18 people from Noon Mediterranean, and it was spectacular. Despite initially facing some communication challenges when placing my order a week in advance, I was met with unparalleled kindness and dedication from the staff when I returned to the store to inquire about my order.
The entire team, especially the manager, went above and beyond to ensure that my order was not only completed, but that it was executed with care and attention. The commitment of the team to customer satisfaction truly stood out to me.
As for the food itself, Noon serves some of the best Mediterranean cuisine in Boston. The flavors and quality of the dishes were a home run.
The level of customer service I experienced at Noon Mediterranean is something I haven't encountered in quite some time. If you need catering, get it done here.

The pizza was great. But... I dont think a slice of pizza should be $5, especially considering that another pizza place i reviewed had 2.50 slices that were double the size with about the same quality. I also bought a cookie which wasnt fantastic. But the pizza is excellent, foldable and dripping orange pepperoni grease and yes the pepperoni made little cups. Its really good. If i had the money id eat this all the time.
Edit: I was walking around the neighborhood getting a feel for where things are since ill probably be living around here soon. And something (probably the 420 i was partaking in) told me to go back. So I did, i went back and this time it was...the best pizza ive had in boston. I have included pictures. It was huge, probably right on what the other great pizza place i found was. It folded and the pepperoni cups and the dripping grease...it was special. Took me right back to being a kid in Buffalo NY. So f****** good. Thank you Boston Kitchen Pizza for having allowed me to have that slice. It was a work of art.

Warning: this can quickly becomes the favourite lunch and breakfast spot. Took me just one visit. Location is top notch, sit by the window and grab a nice cup and a breakfast or lunch sandwich. Lots of vegan and vegetarian sandwich options as well. The guys here are super friendly and can make a mean sandwich. Pricing is solid as well
Simple breakfast sandwiches and burritos at an affordable price.
Recently placed an order online for pickup and the order was ready within 10 minutes. I got the grilled chicken burrito panini and the SEC bagel sandwich, and both were decent for the price. Bagels were slightly too chewy, but the panini was filling and had a good balance of flavors.

Amazing flavor! Preparation and customer service were top-notch! One suggestion is I wish my Dominican chimi was pressed grill and not toasted.:-(
Decent typical cafeteria style food. Not a bad place to grab a snack or a light meal while visiting the MFA.
This is a wonderful little spot, with great food and friendly staff. The atmosphere is nice on a quiet morning, though be prepared for disposable dishware/cutlery, that's charming too.
It wasn't very busy around 7:30am, nice place to stop for a wonderful breakfast. The pancakes had a lovely texture, and the potatoes were crispy even if they might not look it!

Great little place right across the street from the State House. No frills (paper plates, etc) but good food at fair prices. We had breakfast which was very good. Someone seated near us had a sandwich that looked fabulous.
Delicious food! Very tasty! To manage expectations, it is a small restaurant, just 3 seats but very tidy and clean 🥰
I generally order to take out, no dine in. I call first and they tell me within what time frame I can pick my order up.
I just can’t decide which one is the best dish I’ve tried but hotdogs, completos and club sandwiches are …. Yummy! Very generous sizes, if you don’t eat too much, one sandwich will suffice for two.
Parking is outside the resto, in a busy street.

One of the tastiest things I have ordered from Noon has to be their loaded pita bread with protein and fries. Remember ordering that a few times and has always hit the spot. Their bowls are also really good as well. Fries tasty as well. As someone who is a big fan of mediterranean food, I highly recommend Noon.
Perfect place for breakfast. Super authentic including the old boys at the grill arguing with each other in a mix of Italian and English - but super polite and friendly to the customers - local or visitors. Pancakes are amazing and everything is reasonably priced. And for tourists, a great view of the State House.
There’s no better place for sandwiches in town. The flavors, the quantity and service, a great value overall. Catering service available too for your group gatherings. The owner is hands on and super friendly guy. Recommend 100%!!!
Best Restaurant in Boston!! Great Customer Service. Super Clean Environment, & the food tastes like no other! There is clearly no competition that can come close to these guys! & The prices couldn't be better! Have you ever had an awesome dinner for less then $20? Here you can!!! La Esquina Restaurant is the only option to consider any day of the week!!!!!
Delish, natural, fresh and authentic flavor...
Everything is prepared fresh to order.
Takeout was very easy via grubhub!
Really loved their french fries and tasy falafel.
Can't wait to come here again this summer.

Absolutely awesome ! They have really good options for base (quinoa, yellow rice and few green) and for proteins. Servers were very nice. You can choose almost 9 sides for your bowl. Their cilantro tahini is the best ! It is little pricey. But Server was very generous with the portion. They were celebrating someones birthday so everyone was served free cake !
I totally recommend this !

Looking for a breakfast spot that wouldn't kill the wallet. My husband found this place and I am so glad he did! The food is excellent and priced VERY reasonable. I had the Capital Breakfast special with ham, eggs, pancakes, and hasbrowns. Those pancakes were so fluffy! Its a small spot but worth visiting for a quick breakfast/lunch.
If you have kids this is a good place to dine at the musuem. Nice selection of hot food, Pizza, sandwiches, soups, and salad bar, wine, beer too. You can eat outside in spring/summer/early fall and let your kids run around.
Nice room in the basement of MFA. Lots of window to the courtyard. In summer you can sit there as well. The food is good but not spectacular. It is a cafeteria so you pick up your food, pay for it, find a table, bus the table. A better value than the other restaurants at the museum but still not cheap.
There's a good variety of food at reasonable prices. If you're on a budget, or trying to feed a small herd if children, you can't go wrong. It does get hectic early on with families coming in, but it's never too hard to find a seat. Matbe worse on Open House days, but still manageable. Things you'll find: pizza, cheese/burgers, hot hogs, chicken fingers, fries, onion rings, chips, 2 choices of soup, a salad bar, a by-the-pound hot food choice (varies), frozen novelty deserts, soda, juice, coffee, beer, and even wine.
I tried the vegan falafel bowl. This is one of the few Mediterranean places that allows customisation. Basically you can have exactly what you want on the bowl. The food was quite tasty and I felt like I had a nice and healthy meal. If there was one reason why I came here the second time was for the concern that the helper had for me; he actually pointed out that Tzatziki wasn't completely vegan as it had yogurt. Not everybody appreciated my vegan diet as much as the Noon helper did. Definitely recommend it!!
Crowded, overpriced, limited selection. Only in business because they have a captive audience. The staff is nice, but the management is clearly not willing to put enough people on the floor for peak times. They can’t keep food out, and the checkout line is chaos.
The Garden Cafe is the most reasonably priced food option at the MFA and, all things considered,
the best one. There is a wide variety of hot and cold foods. But the best bet is the fresh and varied salad bar. The indoor space is bright and pleasant with a wall of windows looking out onto a large garden that offers beautiful outdoor seating under the trees three seasons a year.

Went there twice for breakfast during my stay here in Boston. The place is amazing, would definitely recommend to visit. Staff is friendly and very professional, food is freshly cooked and tastes marvelous - the best way to start your busy day.
As someone has already mentioned, it is not so turisty and there were many locals (staff was greeting almost every second person by name), rather small, but was not too busy on weekdays morning.
Would definitely miss it and visit again next time I am in Boston.

Yummy and inexpensive alternative to the more expensive places to eat at the MFA. The salad bar has some awesome options, like dried fruit, and even at the end of the day everything still looked fresh. This is also great if you have kids or a big group!
