Weston. Food was AMAZING. We had pulled pork sliders, 1/2 order of homemade potato salad,1/2 order of cucumber salad and a brownie.
The service was pnenonminal, lady was very friendly and helpful. I had had trouble with the fb page and trying to order for a couple days. They finally helped me with giving out their own # to order from. You have to give a time when you r coming so it can be ready w no waiting. We picked noon they open at 1130. You walk under a tent pay, then they bring it to your vehicle to keep safe distancing. They have clambake and other fish items on saturdays. Sundays is barbecue

I work within the building and used their website to order breakfast at 10:30 (I go on a 15 min break at 11) so I set the pick up time to 11. I get down there and they DIDN'T have my breakfast pre made. On top of that they said their WiFi for the website was DOWN. I think it should of said something on the website when their tech is down. They offered to have it ready by lunch? First off, I want breakfast not lunch. And I also PRE PAID over $9.00 for a meal that wasn't ready. I am very dissapointed in this company. There is always something going wrong. Do not recommend. Definitely needs some work

Drew has catered 4 events for me over this past year. Each event has ranged from 20-40 people and each required a different level service. Drew understood my needs and was very transparent with each situation. The price and quality of the food are exceptional. The Cricket team continues to impress me! I received many gracious compliments from my guests every time I order from Cricket! Thanks guys!

Everyone has that one memorable meal that every time you think about it, or talk about it, you can taste it. Often, it's a meal you know you will never have again, and, although you have had other meals just like it, it will never be the same as that ONE meal. When you talk about it, you make your audience want it too (rightfully). Well, it seems I am veering away from singling out one meal as being the sole trophy holder of my taste buds, and, leaning towards working on building a small list (if you will), because, Cricket Café has introduced me to the most delicious turkey sandwich I

5 stars! When I first took this job, I wanted to bring food alive for the staff and clients, and make it a memorable experience. Cricket Cafe popped up as one of the best caterers in our vicinity, and we have loved them ever since (almost 2 years). Our salad bars and catered meals are new, healthy, and scrumptious every time, and Drew is incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and generous in his time and menus. Each and every time we serve food from Cricket Cafe, we get the very best compliments from our clients and staff for the presentation and taste, and staff have enjoyed it so much that they have

Great place to stop by for breakfast! I love getting their breakfast burrito and they make it just the way you want. They have a small selection of coffee but I really enjoy them. Well brewed!
On top of the food selection, the service there is extremely friendly. I've called ahead before to place an order so I can just walk in and pick it up. That's just for one item too so I think that just shows how friendly they really are.
If you work around the area, you should definitely put this in your route!

Great food at a fair price! I especially like the breakfast options they offer. The cafe itself is very clean and has a great city view with large glass windows. They also have a great outdoor seating area that is perfect in warm weather! Free parking is offered for visitors in the parking garage, entrance is directly below the cafe.

Drew did an amazing job hooking it up for my client's meeting today! They are definitely CLIENT FIRST and it showed every step of the way. I wasn't onsite but they ensured it arrived on time and took care of everything.
Thank you so much Cricket Cafe & Catering - you will be my GO TO every time we host a lunch. I wish I was able to have some - the pics I saw were great! 5/5!

I live in Seaport but work in Waltham and found this hidden gem a few years back. This review is well overdue, but Cricket Cafe just recently remodeled the entire cafe and I figured now is the time to share my experience. Let me start by saying that I find that the variety/quality of the food offered is easily the best in the area. Their staple items alone are enough to get me to return on a daily basis, but they offer even better specials everyday. I am 4 days into the calendar week and I have already had Filipino Chicken Adobo, Roast Beef Tenderloin, Curried Chicken and a Meatball Sub. I actually

My sister in law had a baby and saying at the Newton Wellesley Hospital... I called to check if they had fresh made Mac and cheese or those bought frozen ones. Gentlemen answered and I end up doing an order straight with him for delivery. I texted them the Hospital address and room number 30 minutes later the Chef was knocking on our room door! OMG!!! amazing food, amazing services, food still super hot. The grilled cheese with tomato Bread was crunchy while still warm and gooey cheese!!! Super fresh!!! The veggie quesadilla was amazing!!!! The choice is veggies including but not limited

Where else can you get fresh, healthy sandwiches/salads or American food (e.g. homemade pizza, chicken quesadillas - one of my favorites, etc.) without walking out of the office to wait on long lines to grab food that is a bit more expensive that is perhaps not as healthy?
For those that work in the building, Cricket Cafe (CC) is definitely the best way to go for all these reasons, mentioned above and more. It's definitely a quality yet low maintenance place you can go to on a daily basis without getting sick of it, as they have daily specials. My favorites are their grilled (sushi - high
