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 ever had in my life.  I know, I know, it's a TURKEY sandwich, you got sandwich meat, bread, mayo, BOOM, lunch is served.  Believe me you, I wrapped my head around this too, I even tried recreating it (came close) but, you just can't replicate perfection.  Little did I know that when my company ordered lunch for a meeting that one sunny day in June, my lunch game would be changed forever.  In fact, ALL of the sandwiches we had were such a hit in that small meeting of 8 that, a few weeks later, we ordered around 100+ lunchboxes (sandwich, chips, cookie) for our annual Hackathon attendees.  Then, the unthinkable happened, I found them on GRUBHUB. Folks, looking for your favorite food spots on GrubHub is no different than food shopping when hungry or browsing Amazon when you can't sleep, it's good in theory BUT, in the end, you will have post-indulgence regret (which, we all know isn't really regret).  Beautiful regret, on a full, satisfied tummy.  I am not saying we have, I am not saying we haven't placed at least one order per week at Cricket Café since .. or a breakfast order (today).  Don't judge. Cricket Cafes turkey sandwich to me, is what the moist-maker is to Ross (google it).  I have also added a handful of colleagues to my turkey sandwich-loving circle.  If you love food, and, supporting small-local businesses, check out Cricket Café.  You will not be disappointed.  PS: If anyone is curious of my #1 most memorable meal, it is a slice of cheese pizza from Bianchi's on Revere Beach.

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 elected to use him to celebrate personal events as well. Truly a spectacular caterer. More...

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! More...

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. More...

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 don't like wheat bread, so they tailored my Meatball Sub order into a wheat wrap and it was phenomenal. I know I mentioned a lot of meat dishes here, but note they do have a huge salad bar that changes on a daily basis as well. Â For ambiance, they have huge floor to ceiling windows that allow a ton of natural light to come in, they constantly have good music playing through modern and up to date ceiling speakers, and they are just about to open up their large patio that pours out onto Main Street. They offer packaged beverages, they are open for breakfast every morning, and carry a variety of baked goods as well. Parking is easy, they have an entire, covered garage so you don't have to fight with the crowded and packed roads of Waltham. Trust me, this is easily the best bang for your buck food in the area. The Executive Chef even caters. The owner of my company hired Drew for his holiday party and the food was a huge hit. Don't make the mistake of going to the chain restaurants around your home or office, come get food from an actual Chef with incredible food prepared on-site, daily. Thanks Cricket Cafe for all the great meals! More...

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 quality) salmon with a side of Chipotle sauce and clam belly fritters. Specials are about $8.99, which usually includes a side, and their fish is MUCHHHH better than some Yelp 4 star, $$ (and above) restaurants! I was shocked, driving all the way to CT one day to try seafood (after having had a clam belly fritters at the CC)... CC was much better/fresher!To top it off, their staff is extremely nice/friendly and accommodating. We are lucky to have a great cafe! =) More...
