Mrs. B’s Cafe

The only good thing was the salad. The two ladies working the front weren’t helpful. They wouldn’t talk to me while trying to find the salads or even the forks.
The salads were almost I will go back only for that. Not for anything else.

I come here for their breakfast sandwich and it’s pretty good but nothing special. It’s very convenient if you work in the area and that’s really why they get business. The service is bland, not nice but not rude enough to be bothered. The other food is nothing to rave about. The pastas are unseasoned, the sandwiches are overpriced and dull. The local diners and dives in the area are much better in all the above.

awful, nothing is eatable here ! they exist just because of many hungry people don’t care what to eat during lunch hours. i would rather starve than eat here, and i gave them a chance and tried many things…

I honestly don’t know how this place is able to stay open. The food is terrible and while the ladies who work there are nice the prices they charge always fluctuate depending on the day. I’ve been charges $ 4.00, $ 4.50, $ 4.80, $ 4.99, for the parfaits at different times. I ordered the Sultan once which is basically a falafel wrap but I had to unwrap it and pick at the insides with a fork to find the falafel (that’s right singular, one falafel, which was smashed and spread to make it look more substantial). The Albacore is okay but it’s hard to ruin a tuna sandwich. The salads aren’t much better, if you order anything with goat cheese expect to receive one giant glob of goat cheese in your salad. I really wish I liked this place more since it’s so close to where I work… what a shame.

First time here! A bit pricey but everything we purchased was fresh and really good! Kids loved the Plymouth Rock sandwich. Will definitely bout again when in area!

I’ll start out by saying the food here is excellent and gets 5 stars, but value for money is terrible. It seems to depend which one of the two ladies serves the food, but one typically short changes the dish, filling it halfway and the other fills the dish completely. The containers aren’t that big to begin with, so if you are charging $ 10 per lunch, you better fill it. For example, I paid $ 10 for a half container of shepherd’s pie that was mostly potatoes…
In short, good food, terrible consistency with portions and value for money.

Been going here for about 2 years only for the convenience… Usually buy salads.
–1 Star: Always have old unwashed lettuce. Please at least clean it if is going to be wilted and made way ahead of time…
–1 Star: Overpriced. Once again, most people go here for the convenience.
–1 Star: Service. Yelling «Can I help you?» at customers who are patiently browsing the menu does not make for a welcoming environment… Go during the lunch hour and you will know what I mean.
–1 Star: Reason I am writing this review is there has been a fly in my salad 3 TIMES in the past week. Grossed
Needless to say, as of today I am done with B’s. Good luck, I hope you see some of these reviews and clean yourselves up a bit.

It’s like this place is TRYING to fail. They’re only open Monday thru Friday, and open at 8am??? ALL of your customers during the week have jobs. They have to be at work by 8. What are you doing? Then once they open, after everyone is at work, they RUN OUT of the only hot food they have after the FIRST hour of being open, and then just say «oh well, we’re out». WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! Trying not to make money? What a waste. You have the market cornered and you’re blowing it. Oh well, once something else opens in the area, I highly doubt this place will be open much longer. Sad.

Great selections, sandwiches and daily specials. Fast service and the Mac and Cheese was absolutely delicious. Super spot for lunch.

I actually love the salads here and understand why they are a bit pricey. They contain fresh and homemade ingredients, which drive the price up. I, personally, am happy to pay the few extra bucks for high quality grilled chicken, blue cheese, bacon and crisp super fresh greens – which is what mr. B’s serves up.
I do, however, agree with prior posters that the customer services isn’t great. The counter folks seem rushed at times, annoyed at others, but never friendly and smiling. If it were a more «pleasant» place – I’d have given it four stars because the food quality is high.

Bad attitude and marginal food. There are going to be a lot of other choices down here so, so for their sake, I hope they lose the unfriendliness.

–1 star: Overpriced.
–1 star: Quality is lacking. aka the food sucks!
–2 stars: HORRID customer service.
The last time I walked out of here I promised myself, I will never be back. Excited for the construction in the area to finish up so some new places can open.

Location is everything.
The sandwiches are overpriced for deli, and the coffee is mediocre.
For a couple years I have lived and worked in Midway Studios directly across the street and Mrs. B’s is the closest place to get a quick cup of coffee or snack. It serves all of the businesses on Channel Center St. and I am looking forward to seeing some new food options maybe pop up as the One Channel Center building opens up soon.

Overpriced for deil sandwiches. I rather walk ten mins to south station for lunch. Twice, have received bad lettuce or found bones in their chicken salad.
Their hot food is made in the restaurant next door and brought over to stay under hot lights.
Overall, just overpriced lunch food that isn’t too good.

The food here is good… expensive, but sill good. I like the sandwiches and hot food, salads are so-​so.

Fat G. coming in with a review of a South Boston eating spot. On assignment, I checked out a local place to grab food, and not hearing of too many close options, I opted to go to Mrs. B’s Café in the Channel Center area.
The inside décor reminded me of Flour Bakery in the South End, what with the chalkboards and healthy feel. As soon as you go in, there is a divider that sets up the place where you line up to order. On the left wall are storage cases for the drinks, chips, and other made foods. On the right side is a barlike setup with stools, with which you can peer outside. There is also an ice cream case.
Their menu is pretty sparse. It has some salads, sandwiches and some snacks. You can make your own sandwich, but it’s pretty small. Expect to spend some money for a filling meal.
For around $ 8, I got a DIY sandwich with bacon, herb chicken, goat cheese, and mushrooms on ciabatta bread. Everything was ok except the mushrooms, which felt as if they came straight from the supermarket in that wrapping they have. The sandwich was about the size of 1.5 Hot Pockets.
They have an outside area for eating too. There’s not too much to see except the adjoining street, and to maybe hear the construction.
Recommended for: closeness to South Boston without going into the city for food, fru-​fru food, hipsters.

I am a frequent flyer to this new HOT SPOT. There are no great options close by and with the horrible spring weather we have been having it is a welcome addition to 20 Channel Center. The coffee is great — full range of caps, mochas, etc. Lots of unique beverages in the cold cases, good selection of soups, sandwiches and salads. Ingredients are fresh — the avocado, lettuce, meats and breads all are a cut above most. Really like the mandarin salad, the pilgrim, and the sultans wrap. What I think sets this place apart is the people behind the counter. They are super engaged and friendly without being annoying, they remember people’s names, and are very open to suggestions. Very happy to have good choices and service just an elevator ride away!

I have been here a couple times since it opened and while it is indeed a welcome change — it hasn’t quite hit the spot yet.
The sandwiches are a couple dollars overpriced but there is a good mix of freshly-​made and pre-​packaged food. I’ve ordered the Sultan’s Wrap twice and while it is a nice sandwich — it is not something I find myself craving.
It is definitely superior to the previous lunch options at this spot just based on the hours alone and the fact that they offer breakfast.
It’s a tight fit inside but it’s a nice place to grab lunch. So far, the service has been fast if not confusing (take your order and name, call you to pay, call you for food).
They also apparently accept take-​out orders but I have not tried it yet.
If time is not an issue — the Clover Truck has better food for a better price. But you can’t go wrong with this place — especially for the convenience factor.

In that dead space between South Boston and Fort Point Channel, a desolate zone running along A Street up to West Broadway, there are few edible options (unless you spot a seagull.)
Mrs. B’s aims to change that, and does admirably well with a menu of breakfast sandwiches, pastry, soups, salads, wraps, and snacks. Owned by the nearby Barlow’s (the so-​so New American restaurant on the corner), Mrs. B’s satisfies the morning and midday cravings of the denizens of this little de-​fooded DMZ.
For the morning, they pull a decent espresso without the hectic snobbishness of Starbucks, and Mrs’ B’s strong iced coffee rivals Dunkie’s. Some days bring hot cinnamon rolls, fluffy and not too sweet, sure to bust anyone’s diet before the day has even begun.
As far as lunch goes, salads are made fresh each morning, and while they’re not massive, the chicken tastes freshly grilled and the veggies always crisp. Sandwiches, on the other hand, are quite sizable and include an above-​average falafel, and a damn-​near-​gourmet turkey-​and-​brie on crusty baguette. Prices are above average, with a sandwich or salad running you eight dollars and change.
But Mrs. B’s offers a welcome change from the ceaseless lines at Flour or the greasy-​bottomed bags at the South Station McD’s. That alone is worth something.
