"All I got was Coffee and it was good."

"This is a good spot if you're in the Longwood Area and need nourishment before 11AM. After 11, there are so many options that make this place a non-factor. If you're at Brigham and don't want to travel, I suppose it's an alright choice. I do note some of the sanitary concerns that one reviewer expressed but I am pretty slovenly myself and just moved past the fact that they don't change out their gloves after handling their phone or the register. I also recognize that if we saw how most of our food was prepared, we would be vegans that ate exclusively at home. I got the pre-pacakged chickpea salad and the turkey pesto half-panini. The former had plenty of kick and might be off-putting to people who don't like too much spice. The turkey in turkey pesto is cold cuts and not grilled or roasted turkey but the price is okay, about $5-6. When you add up the taxes and tip, it was around $15. You can definitely get more for your money elsewhere in the area but great if you're in a pinch. But pretty darn good for a cafe in a hospital where the fare and atmosphere are usually bleaker."

"When purchasing a sandwich staff switched off to cash me out, staff was still wearing her gloves and took my cash then went to take over other staff with making a sandwich. She started to touch the food and patron sandwich and I had to speak loudly to her 2 times to change your gloves..She looked at me like I was crazy. I said you just handled money and register and your about to touch food. The other staff told her to change gloves as she didn't understand English as well. We are living in a world of disease and this is how other illness happen..Patron thanked me for catching it because from her standpoint she could not see her food was about to be contaminated"

"Seattle's Best Coffee was great!"

"Overpriced, small portions."
