Bostonian Market and Cafe

The very best clam chowder on the world. The ambience and the place was so very nice
High top tables which were also very cool
Don’t miss this place.

I went into the Bostonian market and café it smelled pretty good when I walked in I was very hungry and new to the area once I walk in all I see is homeless people siting down all around I felt a little nervous about that especially if I was going to eat there food with homeless people around second there was a guy in the back counter sweating while making subs it was so stuffy in there no air conditioning at all no wonder he was sweating you could tell they had poor appreciation with there employees I ordered a blt and this other guy started to make it it looked like he was just making a sub for himself he did not change his gloved he forgot what I ordered a put mustard I had to get a new one it looked like he was tierd the girl in the front counter was trying to calm other customers down with lunch being so busy at that moment she wrote what I ordered correctly overall they sucked and I would never order from there again

Stopped by this unassuming market for a sandwich, got the Autobahn (turkey, bacon, lettuce, caesar, cheese on a sub roll). It was HUGE –fed me and my bf no problem. Service was fast and friendly. I’d definitely come back!

I’m torn about this place. The service and sandwich were awesome (I got a ruben, perfectly toasted marble rye) but it seems like people from the homeless shelter stand outside and inside the shop. I almost didn’t go in due to this. I was going to stop in for a quick breakfast sandwich (found out that have an awesome combo for a coffee and sandwich for $ 4!) But I didn’t go in due to the group of people gathered outside.
I stopped in on my way back to my car, and there wasn’t a small group of men waiting outside of the shop.
The two guys behind the counter were very kind, and made my sandwich promptly, and asked what I wanted on it and if I wanted it toasted. The sandwich hit the spot after a non stop day at work. they have very reasonable prices as well.

Food is pretty decent for the area, but the service not so good. We are a local business in the area and they always tell us they will deliver for us because we are always getting our lunch there. But everytime we called they wouldn’t deliver, BUT then again right on the menu it says they deliver as well. Poor customer service the girl answering the phone always gets confused with orders and didn’t even know what their own bostonian sauce was. And on top of it they have messed up our orders on multiple occasions and refused to bring us new food. I guess if your looking for a quick bite to eat and your going to eat there that’s fine but take out forget it.

I’ve never been here before in my four months of working in the South End.
I got a three-​cheese sub. It was fast, cheap and delicious. Next up I’ll have to try the Garden Burger and the breakfast sandwich here.
A great little independent store, and they take LevelUp!

This place deserves 5 stars for the service their employees provide. It’s just a humble little café/​convenience store, but these guys are some of the nicest people I’ve come across in Boston anywhere. Every time I’ve gone in they’re friendly and obliging and they make this place the diamond in the rough it is.
Their breakfast sandwiches are fast, $ 3 or less, hot off the grill, and fantastic.
Their lunch sandwiches are also cheap (especially by South End standards) and they use Boar’s Head meats, so it’s quality. I had a steak and cheese sub here once that was pretty mediocre, but so far everything else has been great.

The guys here are always friendly and helpful. I’ve tried the Arostica Chicken Wrap, which I LOVE. The Turkey BLT is average except they use Boar’s Head turkey and the burgers are just a mediocre fast food patty. Prices are reasonable and I really like how they use Boar’s Head products, which is why I bumped them to four stars instead of 3.

«Eek!» popped up when my mouse hovered over the first star. Eek! is right, Unilocal.
I headed over here with a few friends to get lunch to go during a day at the SOWA Market. Some of the items in the store looked like they had been sitting on the shelves for months. (covered in dust!)
Now for the food– My friend got a veggie wrap, which was full of cheese. Cheese wasn’t mentioned on the menu, and the cashier didn’t ask if she wanted cheese. My friend hates cheese. She wasn’t a fan, and didn’t finish her sandwich. Her husband got The Cowboy (Roast beef, cheese and BBQ sauce) He enjoyed his, but commented that the BBQ sauce tasted like it was from McDonalds– but hey, maybe that was a compliment! So, +1 Star on his behalf. I got Taste of the South (Turkey, Guacamole, hot peppers, lettuce and tomato) I was pretty happy with it, until I found a hair in my sandwich.
As for the service, it was very slow, even though it wasn’t particularly busy. There WAS only one guy working the counter, so I have to give him credit, but he seemed more interested in the Yankees game on TV than actually helping his customers.
Next time I find myself in the SOWA district, I’ll seek other options for lunch.
