The staff is always so nice! This is my go to spot for lunch and the food is consistently great!

Was not impressed with the breakfast at all. The eggs are pre-cooked, and I would say, they probably don't even cook them at the store, they tasted like reheated frozen egg patties.

Boston News Cafe is in 28 State Street. The owners are nice and very customer focused, and service is generally good. The breakfast and lunch choices are varied, quite good and modestly priced. There is a seating area, although most customers pick up their meals. One tip: The soups are very good.

Great spot for takeaway sandwiches and soups. Favorites are white chicken chili for soup and cranberry walnut chicken salad, chicken pesto and caprese sandwiches. They also have a build your own salad option.

I love this little cafe located right in Downtown Crossing! It's located at the back of Franklin Street (behind 77 Franklin) with doors on the side (Arch) and the alley. Tucked away this is a hidden treasure! Hot breakfast served until 11am. Lunch served all day. Order sandwiches or soup, or make your own salad. Choose from salad toppings like walnuts and cranberries, feta and shaved Parmesan, fresh veggies, tuna salad and chicken salad, etc... basic but with a nice flare! Popular in my office (we run down for lunch often) are chicken pesto sandwich and hummus veggie wrap. They also do catering. Order online. Delivery available of course. The ladies that work here and the family that runs the place are super friendly. You can pick up and go or there's counters along the windows in one corner of the place to sit and eat (approx 10 chairs). A bonus... they offer a few sundries types of items so you don't have to run to somewhere else if you need floss or a Kind Bar or lighter :)

Amazing sandwiches! Try the tuna melt

I've never tried their food, but I come here every now and then to grab a drink or a snack. Everything is usually in stock, the staff are okay but I like the cute brown lady at the register the most. This is a convenient store which is near my job, so I'll return here...FYI the granola that comes with the parfait is pretty gross, so do avoid that lol.

Short and sweet- I am pregnant and my husband brought home a chicken salad wrap for me one day.. and now it is ALL I WANT. If it weren't totally weird, I would go get one every single day. Very good!!

The big selling point for Boston News Cafe is that they sell Boar's Head, and the sandwiches that incorporate Boar's Head are great. But unfortunately, either the meat sits out for too long, or a lot of the other sandwiches don't use Boar's Head... regardless of the sticker they slap on the packaging.

Had a last minute client office lunch meeting with 16 people. Needed lunch delivered to client's office less than 24 hours from the time I was placing the order. Not only did the online ordering system work seamlessly, but they loved the sandwiches. Two people in the room literally said, "This is the best sandwich I've ever had". Great work BNC. Thanks for helping me keep up my Don Draper reputation. You'll be my go to lunch catering spot when I'm in Boston.
