Good spot went for lunch a few times this week and enjoyed it every time. The line was quick not bad read more

If you've ever been to a Pressed Cafe (yes, just one), you may be forgiven to assume they're all mostly alike. This review is to tell you otherwise. Some are much larger (like this one). Some are drive-thru only (like the one near my house). I'm gonna talk about the former real quick. Naturally, the menu is basically the same. On this day, I was having lunch. Ergo, I opted to try the Chipotle Short Rib & Egg burrito (as a bowl because I'm a man of culture) accompanied with a cup of chowdah. I must say...I expected there to be a bit more flavor, what - with the Chipotle sauce n' all. Alas, I had to add my own salt. This is mostly a nitpick, but really...can we please season our beef? Just a lil bit even? So, the biggest difference you'll notice at this location is the parking situation. It's....annoying. Because on the one hand, you technically have ample amounts of spaces to park in. Or...you WOULD, if not for the signs en masse that read "[insert corporate company name here] parking only - all violators will be towed at owner's expense." I find this hilarious because I feel like that would be impossible to enforce for folks parking less than 10 minutes to pick up an order like I did. So, I guess my pro tip of the day would be: feel free to park wherever at your own risk if and ONLY if you're getting take-away. If you're actually dining in, I suppose you'll have to wait painstakingly for one of the few parking spots actually designated for Pressed specifically to open. By the way, if you're picking up a take-away order, the take-out shelf is smack dab next to their side entrance opposite the side where you would normally order your food. It's one of those "blink once and you'll miss it" type things the first time visiting. From my vantage point, this place stays quite busy. Not surprising, considering the Burlington area in general. Clearly, a lot of folks come here mid-work day which is also the only reason I came here to begin with. Overall, not a bad lunch stop, though the parking can be slightly obnoxious. I'm giving Pressed Cafe in Burlington 4 Chipotle Short Rib bowls dubiously seasoned out of 5. read more

Pressed Cafe is a Boston staple that has built its following on a menu wide enough to accommodate almost any preference while maintaining enough quality across the board to justify repeat visits. We walked into a comfortable space with a relaxed vibe that never feels generic, the kind of spot where you can settle in for a meal or grab something quickly without the atmosphere working against you. The Vietnamese bowl is the order that brings everything together well. We tried it and the flavors were bright and balanced, leaning into the fresh herb and citrus notes that make Vietnamese inspired food work when the kitchen takes it seriously. The bowl format here gives you enough going on across the components that each bite shifts slightly, which kept the meal interesting from start to finish in a way that a simpler dish would not. The broader menu is worth exploring beyond a single visit. The shakshuka and acai bowl are both good, the smash burger salad is a surprisingly strong order for anyone who wants something more indulgent, and the vegan options are extensive and genuinely well executed rather than feeling like an afterthought. The smoothies are popular for good reason and the coffee holds up as well. Pricing runs on the higher side and the menu does not always list prices upfront on site, which is worth being aware of before you commit to a larger order. Service is generally attentive and fast, though it can vary by location and shift. read more

Good sandwiches in the Boston suburbs. Our team ordered from here for a work event, and the food was very good. I tried the Caesar salad and a "Pressed" sandwich (prosciutto and grilled chicken on ciabatta), which hit the spot! Happy to reorder from here. read more

If I lived around this place I might have an addiction problem. This place is amazing. The menu is vast and the food is ridiculously good. The drinks are as well.

I come to pressed often. The place is almost always busy because of how good it is so sometimes trying to find a seat is hard, but not . I've gone to the Burlington location as well as the Woburn location. Recently at the Burlington location I received free cookies for telling the cashier that my plans later were helping my mom find a house as she's selling our childhood home. I really appreciated how kind the cashier was and how friendly. He did not have to do that but went out of his way to brighten my day. I've gotten breakfast, lunch and dinner and everything is delicious. I believe their coffee, especially the crème brûlée iced latte is one of the best iced coffees in Massachusetts. Definitely come try this place if you haven't - either locations are fantastic! read more

I understand the hype!!!!!! I saw a tiktok about the peanut butter smoothie and I had high expectations for how expensive it was. I went in telling myself this one a one-time thing but after tasting it.......... I get it. I also had the chicken Caesar wrap and it was equally expensive but huuuuuge!! This was a good 2 meals for sure. I ordered for take out and it was really fast! The cafe inside was extremely busy but was happy with how quick the service is. The inside is also really big with lots of seating. I wish they had a location in Cambridge bc I would go so often! read more

All in all an excellent place for all types of eaters! There is literally something for everyone here and everything I have tried has been delicious! This isn't even really a complaint, but this is how my sandwich was delivered today-the tuna wasn't even put all the way into the pita and had exploded all over when I opened the wrapping. This pic shows it cleaned up as I couldn't wait to take a bite lol. It was still delicious, but just super messy :( read more

Had this for dinner while babysitting my nephew on a Friday night. My dad picked it up as takeout since his hotel was nearby. I didn't bring in high expectations, so was neither ecstatic nor defeated. It was just a regular panini sandwich! The bread texture was great (not too dry/tough to chew) and there was enough sauce to add flavor. The side pita was also a nice touch. read more

I was in the area for a work and after hearing so many rave reviews, I had to check out Pressed Cafe for lunch. The location was beautiful. Despite the place being super busy, the service was quick and efficient. You order at the register, and your food is delivered to your table. I went for the classic shakshuka, paired with a Mykonos triple berry probiotic smoothie. The portion size was generous enough that I had leftovers to take home. The shakshuka was cooked to perfection, with rich flavors, and it came with a side of delicious pita bread and sauces. The smoothie was also great--I'm a fan of how they use kefir, which helps balance out the usual sweetness of smoothies. As for the service, it was decent, though not exceptional. The employee who took my order didn't seem particularly thrilled to be there, and it felt like everyone was in a rush and a bit overwhelmed. read more

Good food, super friendly, great vibe. I wanted a place to have a nice, reasonably priced meal and to have a long, relaxed conversation with a friend and colleague. This was the perfect place to do that. read more

This place was bumping! No empty seat in the house. The entrance to order can get a bit crowded. They do have two tablets you can order online or you can wait to order with the counter staff, in my case had to squeeze in between two people. I wanted a smoothie and I hadn't been able to find on their menu while waiting so my order I felt I needed to chose quickly. I got it to go. The price came to $10 which seems so expensive for a smoothie and I wouldn't be able to go consistently. Plenty of parking in the lot read more

I learned about press through a work lunch and was so good! Going in person is not ideal- it's so busy and they push you through like cattle. It can be very intimidating. Then to get raw or spoiled meat in my expensive sandwich was so disappointing. Payed way too much for a sandwich I couldn't eat. read more

The * * * * * is Clarence. Is it the luck of the draw, No. He hsa been proactive each of the last 2 times we have visited. No Seat, let me see what I can do. Seated in 5 minutes. Soething wrong?

So good! Came on a Saturday morning and while it was busy, we were able to order right away, find a seat outside (which they have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating) and our food came out within 5-10 min of ordering. I had the California blt and the iced tea apple cider and both were so good. They have such a large menu with both breakfast and lunch options. read more

I order to go before work at night and I can say the 20+ times I've ordered, I've only had something wrong one time. The weekly specials they offer are great, smash burger anything is amazing. The ginger turmeric lemonade comes in a cute glass container and is so good! The other drinks offered are not my favorite, like the flash drinks. Bahn mi bowl is probably my favorite and I always add an over easy egg. I've never dined in but staff are always nice when I come in. Their menu has so much diversity no matter what you're feeling all your parties will find something! read more

Pressed Cafe has several locations in MA with a huge menu so everyone can find something to eat. I got the red dragon stir fry bowl and it was good, however it was too wet as it could have been cooked more so the water/moisture could evaporate more. However, I've had burritos, smoothies, and salads and everything has been good. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The screen menu can be overwhelming, but they also have multiple physical menus on a stand in front of the cashiers. You can either order for dine in or take out, and it does get busy during lunch and weekends. Despite the crowds, staff are efficient. It's right next to the mall, and near Lahey hospital in case you get tired of hospital food. read more

If Cheesecake Factory had a health-nut sister, it would be Pressed Cafe. It's a cafe that tries to do it all and there's literally something for everyone -- they have standard cafe fare like coffee, tea, and pastries; health-conscious options like salad and raw juices; and heartier options like burgers and brunch. With free parking, fast wifi, and so many options, I understand why Pressed is so popular. We came for brunch and the place was reasonably crowded. We were able to place our orders at the counter and grab a table pretty easily, but I think we got lucky because some other folks after us walked around for a bit before they found seats. If you have a smaller group and grab a table made for bigger groups, the servers and table-runners will ask if you're comfortable sharing your table with others. The food was pretty good! We ordered the Greek Vegetable Chicken Farro Bowl and the Ghost Pepper Ranch Chicken Sandwich, along with an Iced Latte and Lavender Lemonade. The bowl was pretty tasty and felt on-par to something I'd get at SweetGreen; the ingredients were fresh and it came with a hot sauce, but I didn't think that the hot sauce was spicy -- I poured all of it onto the bowl for some extra flavor. My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich, but he also felt that it wasn't as spicy as other spicy chicken sandwiches (especially for being advertised as a ghost pepper sandwich). We both enjoyed our drinks; my Lavender Lemonade was pretty light on the lavender, so I couldn't really taste it. Overall, I think Pressed Cafe is worth a try, especially if you have a group with varied food preferences (though it may be hard to find seating at busy times). read more

Hands down one of my favorite places. Sooo much selection, and everything is tasty! They have the best acai bowls. The acai tastes so natural (not too sweet), and the fruits are fresh with the perfect balance of nuts and granola. Also, I love their Jerusalem breakfast plate, so many flavors in one dish. Their specialty bowls are amazing. It's impossible to try everything on their menu, but I really want to! Also, this is important for me. They keep a close eye on their mobile orders, and any big orders over a certain amount are kept behind the counter (my experience). I truly appreciate that as I've had mobile orders stolen from other restaurants in the past. The fact that they do this tells me the restaurant has good management and inventory control and that they truly care about their customers' experience. Smart! read more

You can order, then sit down and they bring your food and drinks. If you want water, you go up and help yourself. The service is great and always friendly. I came one night for dinner and ordered the chicken stir fry. It had farro with vegetables like squash, zucchini, carrots, avocado, pineapple. I can't say enough good things, so tasty and I find I am not hurting my diet. The atmosphere is very pleasant and cozy. Plenty of parking here.

I love Pressed. If I go, it is to this location or the one in Newton. This is a popular place, but the service is quick and efficient, and I can always get a table. In fact, it's very easy to find seating here, even for a group. The parking lot can get a little nuts. My go-to is the Moroccan eggplant farro bowl, but when I have ventured out to something new, I am never disappointed. My kids love the smoothies and mac and cheese. It's also clean and comfortable. read more
