VESTER Southie 105 West First Street, Boston, MA 02127

"It is illegal for a retail establishment to refuse cash payments in Massachusetts, but this Vester location actively does not accept cash payments. This policy discriminates against lower income individuals without bank accounts. Vester should put a process in place to address this issue. Per Massachusetts General Law - Part III, Title IV, Chapter 255D, Section 10A: "No retail establishment offering goods and services for sale shall discriminate against a cash buyer by requiring the use of credit by a buyer in order to purchase such goods and services. All such retail establishments must accept legal tender when offered as payment by the buyer.""

"The Vanilla bean latte was everything and the avocado toast was absolutely delicious. But more than anything I really enjoyed the welcoming warm and friendly vibe. What a lovely group of people! Will definitely come back next time I’m in Boston."

"Maybe we came on an off day, but Vester disappointed in all categories aside from the atmosphere. $34 yielded two black iced coffees, a bacon egg and cheese (which arrived without bacon), and a fairly meager avocado toast with egg and smoked salmon (a $5 upgrade above the base price for the avo toast). Quality was on par with a cruise ship buffet; The bacon-less BEC was remedied with a huff and two strips of bacon that had been sitting in a warmer, but despite our requests for “over easy” eggs, both of us got cold eggs that clearly hadn’t been cooked within the most recent hour. Despite never being asked if we would be dining in, our food arrived in to-go disposable Tupperware, which further cheapened the experience, especially when compared to the myriad photos online that flaunt fresh and well-plated entrees. Props to the PR firm that helped get our hopes up to try Vester, but for the price paid, better options can be found virtually anywhere."

"The food is absolutely delicious! Love the Tuna Beet Avo salad that blends items you might not think would necessarily go together into perfect harmony. Good sandwiches and wraps as well."

"HUGE Vester fan! Great food and innovative coffee drinks! Cayla and Nicole are incredible with customer service for customized catering & very flexible with dietary restrictions. Would highly recommend!"
