The Kitchen at the Boston Public Market Reviews

Great place to get good food and beer. I also got Duck eggs from one of the farms. They were delicious!

Fruits and vegetables are locally grown and affordable!!

A great place for nice local food. It's not cheap, and pretty gentrified, but delicious and stimulating. There's a place to get hydroponically grown lettuce, big donuts, three soup stands, juice stand, cheese stand, you name it. Fabulous place.

Don t recommend buying food from there its over priced and doesn t taste good

Great place to look for a special lunch on the run.

They have a little bit of everything! Perfect place for local goods.

Lots of choices. Great experience. Good for finer shopping needs

Great local food. Cheap eats (for Boston) for tourists or the struggling college students.

Always live stopping here for treats and yummy eats!

Good local vendors for food, snacks, and unique niche products.

AMAZING place with a super cool vibe and great food.

Many different cultural stores with diferent food options, and some stores that sell unique items.

Love this place. A lot of food options - coffee, bagels, donuts - and fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood, etc, so you can eat there or buy something to cook yourself

A funny market to shop for original gifts around Christmas. Nice foods too.

What a fun spot to grab a bite and if you re more than visiting some great local produce and more. Loved the maple walnut spread on a plain bagel from Levand and coffee from the coffee shop was delightful featuring some nice locally sourced lavender simple syrup.

Wow! Great selection! If you're looking for a food court style market of insanely high quality locally produced goods and prepared food then Boston Public Market is heaven.

Great prices they are only open Friday and Saturdays

Pricey but very nice clean comfortable and great quality

Way more cheaper than Quincy Market and less crowded!

Amazing little stores everywhere, really nice place to go for lunch.

A little pricey, but good options and stuff you can't find elsewhere.

Very nice mix of stores.

Bathrooms were clean.

Yummy and diverse food choices, free cooking demos and centrally located. Worth a stop, whether to dine or shop.

If you love indoor markets with a ton of amazing high quality independently owned shops then this is the place to go. Love the little liquor store in it with a great New England local craft beer selection. Great place to eat and shop for gifts. Head in during the winter for hot apple cider and apple cider donuts.

This little market was amazing! Lunch time here was great we had so many options. We got a few things from different vendors and it was all delicious!

It's smaller than Quincy Market next door, but it's cheap and there's more local atmosphere. I'm closer to Quincy. Listen to me. I was better here than Quincy.

Fun public spot for people watching and just walking around/shopping.

Really great place for a variety of food choices from desserts like chocolate to meals mostly catering to the lunch and dinner crowd. Parking is really cheap if you park in the lot above the market (~$3 for 3 hours).

Very cool market! Lots of fabulous food ready to eat or take home. Some neat crafts vendors, too!

It's awesome love to come here on Friday and Saturdays to buy my fruits and veggies.

Alot of yummy stuff. The aroma passing by the coffee, the unique flavors of nuts/ granola, the cheese selection, sweet treats , bagels and the fresh fish in the back!...you can't go wrong in simply checking it out

The weather is fine and all the vendors are outside. Watch your step in the crowds but lots of good deals to be found. Fresh and friendly all in one place. We need more public markets.

Nice to browse this area. We bought a gift and some ice cream.

If you are looking for a taste of the local life you have to check this place out and don't leave without a cider donut.

Full of fresh products, inexpensive, and organic. What more can you ask, in the heart of Boston?

The BPM is along the lines of chelsea market in NYC, but I like it better. The vendors take pride in offering a unique experience that blends with the local traditions. Many options are healthy and make you feel good about doing business with them.

Multiple food options, reasonably priced and fairly quick to grab a bite. Ramen and the pastrami sandwich were the highlights.

This place is very fun to browse and check out! There are so many options for so many things! Though with Haymarket just outside there's no way I would pay the high produce prices inside. I also feel like some vendors are too good to talk to customers. Their loss!

Loved this place. Its a great venue for festivals! We went there for Boston fermentation festival 2019. They have both indoor and outdoor areas. There are plenty of food vendors inside. The facility has drinking water and well kept restrooms. The venue has a nice park opposite to it and plenty of parking nearby.
The only reason I give a 4 instead of a 5 is that some vendors like noodlelab are serving hot food in disposable #6 plastic which is not healthy or eco friendly. They can mandate use of compostable disposables.

All foods and beverages (wine, spirits, beer) are made in New England. Cool place to shop for local food and be introduced to new local purveyors.

Great spot to try all things local. For being from out of town this spot had everything that was Local New England. Awesome spot for lunch.

Love this spot for fresh, local ingredients and a great variety of dairy, meat, seafood as well as produce. Must have the cider donuts!

Best place to buy cheap fruits ,veggies,fish, and herbs!!!

I read about this place online and went in there to check out after my work. I am very much disappointed! The vegetables are not at all fresh and there are few spoiled veggies in there. Haven t checked other stalls.

Love the unique offerings of this market. Try some cider donuts and check out the fruits!

You can see and taste the Bostonian's fondness for fresh and local ingredients here.

Food stalls outside smell ! Very crowded! Need garbage receptacles badly!

Local produce that is beautiful in quality at a price that is affordable

I love that you have so many great shops under a smallish space. And that there are also non-food stores around too! The bees on exhibition were really cool too. There's a bagel store which sell out later in the day, my friend had a salt flaked herb one w butter which was pretty good!

Place is a tourist trap! Everything is overly priced! Only bargains to be found are during the outside Farmers Market on Fridays and Saturdays!

Plenty of choice in products to buy and cafes and restaurants all great.

Place is nice but extremely overpriced (obviously). You can park 3 hours for 3 dollars which is great for the area.

The apple cider donuts are the best, as long as they are fresh!

I went on a Friday perfect place if you like a crowd in the market it is what it is enjoy your time I'll be looking forward to a good price on produce parking is terrible to be careful on that

A great spot to stay warm and grab a bite to eat or a warm drink. Lots of different vendors provide something for everyone.

Definitely have to try the apple cinnamon donuts, the churro and some shucked oyesters

You could eat every meal of the day, from breakfast to dinner, at BPM. I want to keep it simple for this review, so I'm going to recommend some vendors for each meal of the day, and give you some general pros and cons.

Breakfast: Mother Juice, The Popover Lady, Soluna Garden Farms. Mother Juice and Soluna Tea are for people like me, who prefer to skip breakfast in favor of a caloric drink. The "OMG" at Mother Juice is the select juice for everyone who thinks juicing as a health craze is ridiculous and just wants something yummy. Soluna shines with their in house tea blends. The Popover Lady is a stand out for how affordable and delicious their goods are (last time I went it was 3/$9 popovers -- 3 is way more than I can eat!)

Lunch: Noodle Lab & Boston Smoked Fish. When you think Noodle Lab think Chipotle-style ordering meets ramen. Grab a sheet from the side of the wall and start to make your tough calls. Relatively affordable with broths and ingredients that pack a punch. Don't overlook the pork Gyoza! $4 / order and one of the best things they serve. Extra sauce, please! Boston Smoked Fish Co. is hard not to put on every part of this list. Their Bagel and Lox makes a great breakfast or lunch, and while most of their items couldn't serve as dinner alone, it's easy to find a side at BPM. However, it was their affordability that made me decide to mention them for lunch. Entrees are $10, locally sourced, and high quality. My personal favorite are the fish tacos, loaded with cabbage for crunch and a delicious crema. Writing this review is going to make me hungry, isn't it?

Dinner: Beantown Pastrami Company. These sandwiches are expensive, but God are they worth it. Piled high with tons of quality meat on soft, fresh-tasting bread. Be warned -- the horseradish here is the real deal and not to be trifled with.

Skip it vendors: Massachusetts Farm Winery and Growers (I've tried it a few times and they can't seem to recommend a wine I actually like), all of the non-veggie items at the grocers (Stillman's hot sauce is underwhelming), ThePack (BPM is not the right environment to browse or buy dainty jewelry)

Now, back to Boston Public Market in general.

Pros: Variety, long vendor hours that are only expanding (they began opening up at 7 just this summer), everything here is locally sourced, vendors have a lot of knowledge about not only their product but BPM in general, management is constantly trying to make cosmetic and consumer upgrades, right off Haymarket station and very close to Government Center station, right off of public parking (which they validate)

Cons: Loud & busy, expensive, very hard to find staff that works with BPM directly (rather than staff of their vendors), a decent number of similar vendors (multiple people selling cider, bagels, pastries, etc.)

Simply the best, they have everything you could ever need!

Nice experience for healthier alternatives sometimes not found in the supermarkets. But...on the expensive side.

Crowded. Pricey. Lots of other options in the area.

Absolutely lovely, something there for everyone. Some of the best food around and a great way to support smaller businesses and local farms

Very small & disappointing. I was looking a market that similar to Reading Terminal in Philadelphia

Brings a spark back to Haymarket all year round.

Stress at the RMV or coming from meeting downtown... Take a breath with unique selections of flavors and "clean" foods.

It wasn't really the farmers market I was expecting, but there is a noodle booth with ramen to die for. They have lots of other tasty looking food options as well.

a little chaotic, but has great shops. union sq. donuts, and noodle lab are my favs. low on seating.

I use to go all the time hit or miss of freshness kinda of high the prices love the juice bar thats always
