This used to be my favorite spot, until one incident changed that. I was struggling to explain something in English and the cashier was extremely rude and impatient with me. When I realized I wasn’t getting through I pointed to another employee I had spoken to before, knowing she could explain the situation more clearly to her colleague than I could (because of the language barrier)
After the issue was finally understood, I tried to pay, but the cashier shushed me basically to “just go already,” and rolled her eyes at me.
I felt deeply humiliated. I genuinely tried to communicate in English and only pointed to the other employee to help because the cashier was clearly becoming impatient with me and I genuinely thought that would help the situation.
This happened two weeks ago and I still find myself thinking about it. That’s why I decided to share this review now.

They made the best sandwiches!!! You will have tons of sandwiches option and I bet all of them are good. Their vegetarian option are amazing!! Bowls and salad are also available. The bread is all made in house. They also have a fun selection of wine and booze sell as a bottle. Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes of them

It's a nice place and convenient. Prices are very high - $16-17 USD for a vegetarian sandwich which just has some pickled veggies, tomato, and avocado...not $17 worth. I realize life is very expensive right now, but they probably need to look under the hood and see where they can cut costs to bring the prices slightly down.
Additionally, under protein add-ons they list 'Avocado' as the only vegetarian option. First, avocado is not a protein. Second, they have hummus which is a protein source, and they don't list that...

This is, by far, the best bakery in all of greater Boston. Consistent and amazing for years. Sandwiches are awesome, though they take quite a while at lunch time. Soups are amazing. Pastries are delicious.

Hi Rise - more like High Price. This is a sandwich/salad cafe that charges absurdly high prices and offers small portions. $6 to add chicken on a salad and THIS is what you add, two small diced up tenders?
Guys - the world’s gotten expensive, and it’s okay to increase prices to some extent. But you can’t also shrink your product at the same time. That’s called greed.
We love walking down to this cafe to have coffee in the morning, and sometimes scones or avocado toast.

I used to frequent Hi Rise when it was on Mass Ave pre-pandemic. I loved the Thai iced tea and blueberry scone. 5+ years later, I finally made my way over to the Huron village location, and I'll definitely be back soon!
The Thai iced tea was just as I remembered -- very aromatic and perfectly sweet. I'd come back just for this unique and delicious drink.
Unfortunately they didn't have the blueberry scone (I wasn't expecting it, since it said it was sold out on the website). We tried the small chocolate fallen cake ($10) which I thought was a bit too sweet.
We also got the ham, butter, and Swiss lunchie ($8), which is a very thin and long sandwich. It was delicious! The bread has a slight crisp on the outside, and is wonderfully chewy. The filling to bread ratio is pretty great. I'd get this again -- very satisfying.
There are also a lot of fruit preserves and packaged cookies that look really good and would make good gifts. I'll be back!

I highly recommend NOT coming here.
Only paper cups? As if the non organic coffee that's heavily sprayed is not bad enough I have to drink it out of a cup lined with polyethylene??? No thanks!!!
Asking me TWICE if my dog is a service dog. Harassment is part of your service?
Ridiculous!!!

Food is good but overpriced. Service is possibly the slowest in the world - close to an hour to make sandwiches. Not recommendable.
