Blunch is a wonderful little cafe in the south end. They have a sizeable menu with an array of pressed sandwiches, eggwiches, and coffee, tea and baked goods. I had been dying to come try their highly acclaimed chocolate chip cookie and I also got a bagel sandwich. I ate the cookie on my 15 minute drive home and I have to say it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was one of the best cookies i've ever had! You have to eat it warm for the full effect! I ate the bagel sandwich when I got home and it was definitely delicious, but it had also become a bit soggy. I would say to fully enjoy Blunch's creations, eat there! read more

Cute sandwich spot across from BMC. Highly recommend ordering online from their website in advance. There's plenty of sandwich options, you're bound to find something you like. The staff gets the orders out quick and are so kind and warm. I haven't ordered the cookie yet either, but have heard great things. There's plenty of is very limited seating so I recommend ordering to go read more

My order: The Bird sandwich on gluten free bread, iced espresso The Review: I decided to further explore the South End and try out Blunch. I ordered ahead and then picked up. My first impression was how kind the staff were. They also had customers who knew them, which is always a good sign. The place is small with a few seats inside and a nice patio. The gluten free bread was good, but small. That didn't stop them from loading it full of chicken and other toppings. It was quite a hearty sandwich, which I'm always happy to see. The espresso was also pretty good, and my favorite part was the small iced espresso cup. If you're in the South End and need a sandwich, Blunch might be the place for you! read more

The coffee was mid. First coming in, it was a cute, quaint place. The ordering area/ menu area is kinda dim. The egg wich items is a build your own type of deal.

Such a wonderful hole-in-the-wall. Seriously, I mean that with all the best intention. It is an iconic spot for BMC-era. Not only is it literally a hole in the wall ... very small, it's also so yummy and so reasonably priced. The service is always quick and pretty consistent. They have a pretty vast menu for being so small and so busy, and it really works for them. I love to treat myself to one of their sandwiches when I'm working, as well as one of their world famous chocolate chip cookies. Drool!!! They're actually not world famous, but they definitely should be. Probably the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. read more

Been coming here for years and it's always awesome. I've tried most of the menu but always end up with either the Big Papi or the Bird sandwich. Both are pressed paninis and are lights out. Today ended up with the daily special which is chicken, aioli and jalapeño chips crunched in there and it's outrageous. Unfortunately the panini just doesn't photo well and does not do it justice but it was awesome. Washed it down with two homemade chocolate chip cookies and left very happy. Highly recommend if you're ever in the Southend! read more

Blunch is a solid brunch place! I got The Bird on Fire, which was delicious. I do think it should be spicier though given they have the regular version for people who don't like spicy and isn't spicy. The bread was nice and crispy but not hard, and the chicken and veggies was good. I do wish there was a bit more filling, but I just like thicker sandwiches haha. Currently rated 4/5, and will come back to try a different sandwich! read more

Guy Fieri has been here! Location: what a cute spot. On the corner of a side street. Small. Very small. Limited spots inside, maybe like 4 seats. There's outdoor seating too. Easy to get to by bus. Bus stop right down the street. Parking: street parking. Attire: it's a cafe, not a fashion show. Food: fresh so fresh. Was told their chocolate chip cookie sells out by lunchtime everyday. For good reason. Decadent, and flavorful. They do not skimp. Coffee was fresh and strong. Price: decent. It's what you expect from a cafe coffee shop! Overall: definitely give it a try. It's very small business. The coffee is good, food and dessert as well. Not a place you'd go out the way for but if you're in the area or driving by conveniently definitely stop by! read more

Heard a lot of hype about this place, so I came here with a friend on a Saturday morning. A super cozy place. I was really surprised at how small the place was considering how popular it was. (Also interesting fact: Guy Fieri made a stop here!) Moving on, I grabbed one of their chocolate chip cookies and their BLTC bagelwich with an egg. I thought the bagelwich was extremely delicious and it was quite large that it had me saving the other half for later (not complaining about!) . The cookie was also extremely delicious. If you are one of those people that love chunky chocolate pieces within your cookie, this is definitely the cookie for you! Overall, this place very much lived up to the hype and everything is very reasonably priced. read more

This sandwich shop Blunch is a little out of the way for me, but my visit was well worth it. The Provencal (vegetarian) panini and the chocolate chip cookie tasted fresh, serious and were priced just right. The shop is definitely on a small side and their seating definitely can fit less than 10 people in there. So, if you are claustrophobic or don't like having little space, you should take your order to go. It definitely took a while before my panini came out (they made it fresh to order), so be patient and hang around there. Perhaps, grabbing some pastries/bakeries to eat while waiting is a good idea too (they are known for their chocolate cookies!..so try one!!). Overall, good neighborhood spot to check out. And even though I'm generally not a big sandwich fan, this place tasted good and I wouldn't mind stopping by once in a awhile to try other sandwich options out too if I'm in the area again. read more

Tiny corner comfort spot, a few tables and chairs outside, a few stools along the window shelf inside. Creative pressed sandwiches, the freshest ingredients (e.g. roasted red peppers, shaved green apple, whipped goat cheese, raspberry purée) and reasonable pricing. Add on a homemade cookie or two and you're good to go conquer the rest of your day! Parking is tough since this is across from the Boston Med Ctr. Street parking or a small meter-pay lot is a short block or two away. read more

A must for any sandwich lover in boston. I had the Beef sandwich. It was prepared in 5 minutes during a lunch time. Perfectly toasted and crunchy. Tucked between the bread was moist, tender, and perfectly cooked beef slices. The mildly tangy sauce was the perfect compliment and rounded off the entire entree. A perfect contrast of textures with all the essentials of a quality sandwich. read more

I am a senior in college now in Boston, and it is long overdue that I write a review for Blunch. The first time I had the Meltdown was when I was visiting Boston as a junior in high school. Ever since then, it has been my FAVORITE GRILLED CHEESE AND SANDWICH EVER. EVER! It is not surprising Guy Fieri came here! The four different cheeses, the tomato, the blend of it all on sourdough. It melts in your mouth every single time. It is literal perfection. Every time someone visits me in Boston, I take them to Blunch. Every single person has loved what they got. The chocolate chip cookies are TOP TIER. A must get! The coffee drinks are amazing too. The staff are super friendly as well. Over all, my favorite restaurant in Boston. I will long remember this sandwich and restaurant after I graduate. read more

Simple, unpretentious but oh so good, this place deserves its high yelp ratings! The boyfriend and I came here for an early lunch at 1130am on a Saturday and it wasn't very crowded. There is very limited seating, but most people seem to order out or order ahead and pick up. They have a nice selection of warm sandwiches and bagels and the boyfriend and I both ended up getting The Bird. The sandwich itself was huge and filling. I love that it comes as a panini, as the heating warms and melts the cheese, making everything blend together. Delicious. We also got a chocolate chip cookie due to the many excellent reviews and it was pretty good. Wish they warmed it up though- that would be amazing. The price is also very reasonable in the age of gourmet $10+ sandwiches, the Bird was a respectable $7.99. Overall, great sandwiches, great price- I don't think you can go wrong with this place! Definitely can't wait to try the other sandwiches! read more

Blunch is perfect for brunch! My workplace is directly across from them so it was a very easy decision to make and I was craving their awesome chocolate chip cookies (which they're famous for). I ordered their piglet sandwich which has ham, bacon, tomato, and cheddar cheese. It was very flavorful and tasted very fresh and their chocolate chip chips were as amazing as usual. They were pretty quick, I called in and my order was ready to pick up in like 15-20 minutes. The restaurant inside is pretty small and it was really packed for a Saturday afternoon, but I got my order in a timely manner. read more

I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich.

TL;DR: Smelled like dirty water, sat us at a dirty table, food was not impressive, drinks were…read morewatered down with odd flavors, honestly don't know why there were so many people in there. Won't go back. Wish I had pictures, sorry. I wasn't thinking about a review. After a 15/20 minute wait, in an effort to seat us quickly, they sat us at a table that was wet, with water, and sticky from what was presumably the last table's syrup. There were 2 open, used, nips of syrup on the table that they hadn't seen or bothering to pick up. The ambiance/decor was very confusing, a lot of colors and patterns. It wasn't quirky (I've been to quirky done well), it was bordering on scatterbrained? I joked that the place was meant to be visually confusing so that you wouldn't see the lack of cleanliness. We asked for napkins to wipe our table and we were given napkins to clean it ourselves. I mean sure it was what we had asked for but when I asked in the past, someone came over with a rag and cleaner and cleaned it for us so I was a little underwhelmed with that one. Also, the table was visibly not ready because my partner noticed some hesitation in the guy before he sat us and instead of saying, "wait let me get someone to clean it for you" he sat us anyway. The entire placed smelled like a mix of dirty water and wet dog. In all fairness we should've gotten up and walked out but the restaurant was packed, so we were assuming the food must be good and we were hungry. The first two appetizer plates were got were dirty and my boyfriend's silverware. We asked for new ones. The second two were also not exactly clean but not as bad as the first. We opted to eat our appetizer from the plate it came on. We ordered the Some Like it Tot. It was cool, nothing to write home about. Expected it to be more crunchy (they are tater tots after all). I ordered the mimosa flight. Only one of the drinks had any semblance of alcohol in it. They were... oddly not good? Like not bad, but not great. The flavors on the menu sounded like they should've been great together but what served me was disappointing. I got the cookie monster pancakes. Maybe 2 stars. Very mid and uninspired. Unimpressed. The pancakes were middle of the road. Not great not bed. Best thing about this place were the nips of maple syrup. My boyfriend ordered the Monster breakfast. Also mid. The home fries were not well seasoned. Will not be returning. I'm assuming they need to pay their staff better or hire ones who care or can cook. Our server was kind though.

Both were perfect starts and very flavorful. Everything was phenomenal from their regular egg breakfast to their morning madness to their pancakes.

It was quite interesting- not what I had expected and next time I would ask to omit the olive tapenade. I asked for ketchup to add in. It was a really good portion- probably 2 or 3 eggs. Very hearty and filling. The friend ordered the eggplant quinoa bowl which comes in this sauce and very cheesy. Comes with bread - really tasty! Bartender was friendly and service was great!

This place rocks so much we came back for a second time, though our stay at Seaport was so short…read moreand originally we wanted to use every meal at a different spot. First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.

From my wife: A little slice of heaven. I was out with my friends shopping one day and we passed this adorable little place that not only smelled amazing from the outside, but looked like a relaxed place to stop in. I am so glad that we did! The food was to die for and so fresh! There is nothing worse than a stale treat or dull taste. Nope, the brownie I had, had an explosion of flavor (I had two- don't judge!). I was also very impressed with the staff, they were patient as I stood there trying to decide what I wanted. The smile never left her face, nor her eyes. You could tell that she truly wanted to be there and enjoyed her job (I wish I could remember her name- because you deserve a shout out). After a few moments of bouncing back and fourth between the brownie and large chocolate cookie, she suggested the brownie by giving me a mouthwatering description. AHHH, my mouth is watering now as I think about it! I am looking forward to going back again on my next trip to Boston! read more

You cant ask for anything better than consistently fresh ingredients! And the staff always greets you with a smile...Blunch is an amazing neighborhood spot. Whether you go there everyday or are visiting the Boston area and want to find a local gem, YOU MUST VISIT BLUNCH!! It's a little off the beaten path but easy to locate right next to Boston Medical Center. Amazing sandwiches, amazing coffee, and amazing baked goods. Walk an extra block and check it out! read more

Blunch is my go-to breakfast spot (and often lunch). The egg sandwiches are delicious and so are many of the lunch sandwiches. They have good coffee as well. The best part is that they are very friendly and quickly learn your name, it makes me want to come back. Also, the chocolate chip cookies are some of the best that I've had. Can be pretty packed depending on the time, but still fairly quick, and definitely worth it. #Blunch4Life read more

Two words: The Loaf. It's one of the best dishes (not just a sandwich) I've had in my life. Hardy, but flavorful. Filling, but not so greasy. A treat for occasion--unless you need to gain weight for some reason--in which case I envy you whole-heartedly. Only complaint? No wifi. For a brunch place, that's pretty bizarre. Perhaps there's a way Blunch could offer wifi on a timer during busy hours like other cafes. Just a thought... read more

Based on the love this place gets OVER AND OVER AND OVER again I am not sure why I would even take the time to add to the sea of four star reviews, but I MUST. The roast beef sandwich I had today was inspired. It was just the right about of everything severed by a staff and owner that take the utmost of pride in everything they do. I look forward to returning for one the breakfast sandwiches everyone on yelp is raving about. read more

A friend suggested Blunch because of the amazing breakfast sandwiches. This place is an unassuming, small corner sandwich shop. I had the wheat bagel with homemade bourzin cheese tomatoes and cucumbers. Very tasty. But the chocolate chip cookie definitely takes the cake! Delicious and gooey - Best one I've had in Boston (and I've had my fair share). Definitely worth the trip. You will not be disappointed!! read more

This a great place to grab a quick bite. The food is fresh and tastes homemade. My favorite is the loaf, a meatloaf sandwich with stewed tomatoes, cheese, and thick Texas toast. I echo the sentiments on the fresh baked cookies that melt in your mouth. Be aware that it is small, but the service is friendly and personable and it does have three small tables outside. read more
