    Tofu Scramble Wrap + Tofu Bacon
    Taylor M.

    Been wanting to try this place and finally did today! Very loud inside. There were a lot of tables filled up, and two small tables but only one had a chair so we took our orders to go. There were a lot of people standing around too so I wasn't sure where I was even supposed to order. I was thinking maybe they need more seating. I do appreciate the huge menu that's easy to see right when you walk in. My boyfriend liked his turkey avocado wrap but didn't finish like his coffee (we ended up getting coffees from Dunkin later on). I wanted to like the tofu wrap so bad but it lacked flavor and tasted more bitter than anything. Even with lots of ketchup it wasn't the best. Wasn't too impressed on my first visit but I do want to come back again in the future to try their other vegan-friendly menu items!

    Breakfast burrito ($5.75) with bacon (+$1)

    I was in the area as I had to bring my brother to the local YMCA for a swim meet. This coffee shop showed up as one of the closer places that had wifi and a place to sit down for work. I settled down in one of the many tables to set up my work area. Aside from the tables, they had several couches as well for those that are looking to relax more. An issue that I would raise is that there aren't really many wall outlets for those that are looking for a place to set up a laptop to work on. I was able to secure the one table next to a standing fridge that had an outlet. As for their food and drinks, I opted for a red eye coffee and a breakfast burrito plus bacon. A large coffee set me back around $3.50 and the burrito at $7.50 after adding the bacon for $1. The coffee was great and kept me energized from waking up early. The burrito was filled with 3 scrambled eggs, cheddar, avocado, black beans, sour cream, and salsa. It was also griddled which was a nice touch and added some textural element to the burrito which I enjoy. The menu did say scrambled but the eggs looked more like precooked egg patties that most coffee shops tend to use. Overall the flavor was more on the bland side but the addition of some green hot sauce solved that. Overall, its a great place to sit down and hang out for a bit or to get some work done on one of their many seating arrangements.

    TLT on sourdough.

    Goodness gracious, this was delicious - from the first bite until the last- at which point I was fantasizing about going back to try the curry tofu scramble and the chickpea salad sandwich.... see you again soon!

    My absolute favorite downtown cafe! Came in with my boyfriend as i'm visiting for the holidays. We both got breakfast burritos with bacon and they're were TO. DIE. FOR... I also tried the Immune Booster juice which had carrots, oranges and ginger and is was delish! Highly recommend!

    Decent. Coffee was ok. I tried their BLT. It was more lettuce and spinach than anything else. Worse: the bacon was fraudulent. There is no way I'm believing That was actual bacon I just ate. It looked and tasted like astronaut bacon, if there's even such a thing. Glad it was only $5. The atmosphere is cool. Plenty of seating and variety in terms of the seating options (they've got couches, bar stools, and various tables). They also have smoothies. I might try that next time. Never trying their BLT again.

    Hummus and veggie wrap on wheat.

    There are two small reasons that the green bean doesn't get five stars. One of those two reasons they couldn't change if they wanted to. It's a me thing, not a them thing. 1. I was a bit put off by the "hummus" in their hummus wrap. It was eggy tasting, which is whatever, but when you're expecting traditional hummus and get something resembling egg salad, it's off putting. 2. I don't feel cool enough to hang out there. And by cool enough, I mean hipster. Aside from those two reasons, my sandwich was good once I got past the egg thing. They were pleasant behind the counter, and the place itself were clean. I am off to make myself cooler now...where ARE those skinny jeans and my ironic tee shirt?

    Chicken salad on greens instead of bread.
    K H.

    Disclaimer: I'm a healthy foodie. Good enough food, nothing too creative or mind blowing. But nice to find a healthier option. Counter help wasn't so friendly; didn't crack a smile once. But was nice enough to allow me to swap out the bread on the chicken salad sandwich for greens to make it gluten free. Not a great salad - no chunks of chicken, rather a glob of blended unidentifiable food. The bakery case was only 1/3 full. Dad got the veggie burger and I tasted - pretty bland. He got a strawberry shake and said it was too sweet. They did have almond milk for coffee which always wins me over though. :-P But overall I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

    Delicious and pretty.

    Riccardi's is a great addition to the area. I used to live in New Bedford where the original…read moreRiccardi's is. The food is all good. The pizza is paper thin crust which I love. They have their own take on subs too. The roll is shorter than average and hearty so they load them. The staff are always friendly and attentive. I wish I could go more!

    A real mixed bag of stuff here at Riccardi's two Sundays ago for lunch…read more We rumbled in about an hour after they opened and overall, the restaurant was wide open in terms of seating. No issues with being seated or with having our drink order taken or house bread being offered right away. Just to skip more or less to the crux of the issue, it was about the details. Baked Penne with Meatballs Cheese Filled Ravioli Baked Lasagna The lasagna was as advertised and there was no real issue there. Good sized portion and the person who ordered that was very satisfied. The ravioli was presented in what I'll call a sauce rationed format. Small-ish swirl of sauce on the middle of the dish while everything not in the middle (give or take 65% of the portion) was raw dog dry. But mercifully, extra sauce was available, just in an odd format. Enter the penne. The penne itself were overcooked and the cheese on top was well beyond baked. More like a hardened helmet. The meatballs were served on a separate plate, and they came to the table, at best lukewarm but were swimming in a Buzzard's Bay of sauce that was dripping over the side of the plate on to the table. At the end of the day, the service was good and the food was sent out fairly fast. But with that said, one thing was more or less cold while its accompaniment was overcooked and another item was basically dry. If there is a next time, maybe we just skip entrees and go with the takeout pizza. That side of the restaurant had a steady flow of people coming in and out and seemed to be where the action was at. Note to file for the future.
