Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Downtown Boston, Boston

Drew M. • August 19, 2018Yes, Trillium beers! And some select guest taps too. Place gets packed on prime nights, but it’s worth it to try a couple of Trillium brews. Food trucks are also usually present if you need a bite.

David F. • October 19, 2015Atmosphere is rich and strange. Tuna Crudo is an umami bomb. Corn and farro salad is extra flavorful. My favorite is the negroni ice cream. The macaroon flavored with Swedish fish is unique.

Sydney T. • February 1, 2019Huge! And tons of natural light. Awesome place to grab a coffee or some baked goods. I’ve never had their sandwiches or shakshuka, but they look amazing.

Alex M. • April 15, 2017Fluffy and delicious donuts that can't be beat! The honey dip and apple fritters are great.

Catalina H. • September 21, 2016Huge selection of wines. They were nonjudgmental and happy to make recommendations without being pushy. Food was good. A little on the pricey side, but a great ambience made it time well spent

Christoph B. • July 9, 2016Cosy, stylish interior. Come here for great espresso. They offer several coffees for both espresso drinks and pour over that they source and roast themselves. Worth coming back as selection changes.

Sebastien L. • February 1, 2017Elegant space and some of the best pour overs you'll find in Boston. Prices are steep at $6

Annmarie • October 26, 2014The lobster rolls here are the best I've had. Very lightly dressed and incredibly fresh. Good prices to boot.

Adam B. • September 20, 2017Great space, even better food!!

Michael H. • December 5, 2017Great salads but try the warm bowls which are awesome. Can order ahead and pay on their app. Long queues at lunch time but worth it as they move fast.

Cheryl H. • October 21, 2016We had the pastrami / corned beef combo and roast beef blues and they were absolutely delicious ! Best in Boston ... best in the WORLD .. maybe exaggerating (Zingermans in Ann Arbor)

Paddy O. • May 10, 2010Early Bird sandwich. Hands down the best breakfast in Down Town Crossing. Eggs, Cheese, H-browns, and your choice of meat in a pita pocket? Ba-BOOM!
