    a variety of foods on display
    Monica A.

    When I worked in the area, I came everyday and ordered a carrot juice with ginger. I was in town recently and decided to see if they still made my order right, and, confirmed, they do. Little to no pulp and a nice balance with the ginger. I've also catered from them before, and they provide really nice, rich, Italian comfort food. If you're in the area, I'd recommend them for a satisfying to-go option.

    One piece of Basil split for a whole caprese sub

    This place is 50/50. Nothing is ever made the same and sometimes they really skimp on main ingredients. The basil makes this whole sandwich. Most of this is tomato and mozzarella. Not much balsamic either.

    I grab lunch here pretty often and it's always guaranteed yuminess. Good sandwiches, good salads, good portions. Always fresh. Go for it.

First off, it's 8:30a.m. and the place is half full of mom's and their kids. So the locals also approve! One wall is covered in book shelves. A foosball table is in the back corner. A couple of tables take space in the sunny window front. All on brand. Restrooms in the back are clean. The order line forms on the left. They have all the expected sandwiches waiting for you including a Vegan Breakfast sandwich and of course some pastry. They have lots of cold and hot coffee beverages. I was tempted by a blood orange latte, but I stuck to my Americano. I had that with one of their huge croissants. I think the gentleman who helped us was new. It took him a bit of time to make the beverages, but that's OK. We're patient. He was very polite, asked all the right questions and got the order correct and that's what matters. We picked a couple of comfortable seats near the entrance and watched the constant flow of customers come and go. Around 9a.m. it looked like a bus load of high school students were dropped off at the door. Ha! Not an actual bus, but that line was long. This is a great spot for a variety of coffee drinks, pastry, sandwiches and meeting up with friends. The neighborhood clearly agrees.

The Bahama Mama is my favorite and never disappoints. Honestly, the smoothies alone keep me coming back. I also love the new Somerville location--it's fresh, clean, and welcoming. My only feedback is on the food menu. The meals feel a bit more prepackaged than I'd prefer, and I'd love to see more freshly prepared options or variety in that area. Overall, this is a great spot, especially for smoothies, and with a bit more focus on fresh food offerings, it could be even better. Looking forward to seeing how the menu evolves!

I ordered the sunrise sunset. I did not opt to make changes, but they make it really easy in the app to customize your order. When I arrived my smoothie was already made and ready. They kept it in a cooler instead of on the counter which is thoughtful, since a smoothie is best cold and fresh. The employees were friendly. It was not very busy so it took no time at all to run in there and be helped. And it was very clean inside. The smoothie was great, nice and tropically - just as expected. And it is a very generous portion. When you have an account you get points and rewards which is cool - there was an offer when you sign up that you'll get a free smoothie after your first order..but it apparently is only good for a week. So I unfortunately didn't get to use it... but will def keep TSC in mind for next time I want a nice fresh smoothie!

I usually get an American or Italian sub and they tend to be excellent, well-stuffed with the good meats, and on nice firm sub rolls. A reviewer claimed the rolls are old but I've never once gotten a stale one. It's possible the reviewer confused good crunchy Italian rolls with day-old rolls. As a connoisseur of good Italian bread, I look for rolls that are crunchy outside and firm inside and DiCara's are exactly that. They have a friendly staff who make the subs very quickly and never make a mistake on the order. The store has a lot of other food, for example, olive salads and tuna salad which my Mom liked. Also sometimes, you can find various cuttings left over from when the salami sticks near their end sealed up in plastic. Yum! They also have a number of imported products (not all from Italy). I like their imported pastas such as the big Rigatoni and Fusilli. They have some spices too--I always get the Rosemary from Cento. Oddly, they also have an excellent variety of potato chip brands--Utz, Cape Cod, Wachusett, Zapp's, Dirty, and sometimes Wise. Finally, they carry some nice cupcakes & desserts from nearby bakeries.

    I have been going here for many years and usually order their Thanksgiving sub. Up until yesterday,…read moreI have always been very pleased. Yesterday I called in and paced an order for 12:oo. I arrived at 11:55 and the sub was waiting. When I got it home, I was so disappointed. The bread was very hard, to the point of being hard to chew. Also, the turkey was overcooked with very dry and almost burnt ends and the stuffing was extremely salty. I had asked for a small container of extra gravy and even adding this to the sub did not help at all. The sub was very hard to chew because of the roll and dry turkey. Luckily, I know they serve a quality product and I will return again. Everyone can have a bad day, and I guess this was theirs.
