Max's Deli Cafe

Nice little breakfast place in Boston, good food and friendly staff

We used Max's to cater a 125 person non profit event. Jake was simply incredible by being responsive and advising in planning every little detail, nothing was overlooked. It's hard to plan the menu when there are so many tastes and allergies. He was Uber helpful by suggesting and staging items to serve based upon the event program that I outlined.

When it came to the food delivery and setup, the entire team was professional and frankly perfectionists, music to my ears. Everyone at the event raved about the food. We had a balance of hot heavy hors doevres (stuffed mushrooms, beef skewers, crab cakes, coconut shrimp, bacon scallops & veggie spring rolls), cold ones of prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, fruit kebabs, shrimp skewers and cheese platters. Max's mini sandwiches on brioche buns lent high quality for all. Jake even arranged for our custom cake and coffee service. He is truly full-service. I highly recommend Max's Deli, run by a nice family, they treated my event like I was family!

Fast, affordable, delicious with great friendly service to boot!

This deli has great wraps and a good selection of beverages. Even better is their breakfast menu which is affordable and extremely filling. I had the buffalo chicken wrap once and an omelette breakfast another time. Both were flavorful and enjoyable although, I wouldn't say excellent. I'll still give it a 5 star rating because it's great for the price. Both entrees were below $10.

We stopped in here hungry off the plane from Phoenix. Breakfast was VERY good, staff was attentive and informative. Food was served quick and hot.

Food is decent but a little overpriced IMO, $12.50 for a chicken salad sandwich

Love this place! Friday and inviting staff. Food was fast and the best breakfast bagel sandwich I ever had!

Awesome basic breakfast. I got a bunch of food for the price I paid and it was well made. An omlette with potatoes and bacon and toast for 8$ in downtown Boston, can't ask for anything better

Quick breakfast service and friendly staff. I had the breakfast burrito which had eggs cheese and potatoes with an option to add meat. Very large portion. I would return for the Fogbuster Coffee alone.

Stopped off of a recommendation from the hotel. Food was excellent and the service was even better. Asked if they had some honey for the oatmeal I ordered and the woman behind the counter asked the cooks who said no they don't have it. A moment later she comes out with a little cup of honey. No idea where she got it but but it really impressed me. Had the breakfast burrito and a side of oatmeal. Delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in town.

Great place to grab breakfast, I felt like I was back home on Long Island. The bagel sandwich I got was spot on, and the potatoes rocked.

Max's Deli recently catered a YWCA staff event and WOW! Everyone is still talking about how delicious everything was. The Pasta salad, the steak, and let's not forget the amazing cookies! Max's was on time, friendly, and so nice. 10/10 would order again!

Five Yelp Stars for breakfast at Max's Deli Cafe. I can't speak to lunch at Max's, or to Max's catering. I've been eating breakfast at Max's Deli Cafe for more than 20 years. Breakfast has consistently been excellent, fresh, the ingredients high quality, and cooked to order. Max's hot coffee (organic free trade) and breads are high quality; I can't comment about their muffins or cookies, as I don't eat them. Max's fresh fruit salad is excellent, the fruit is fresh, threre's nothing canned or forozen in it.

Staff are kind, reasonably efficient. I miss seeing Mike, the owner, who I believe is now retired (I think Mike's son is now at the helm). I can't think of a better, reasonably priced, breakfast option, downtown, Max's looks to have a very busy lunchtime catering business.

Take a crappy pizza place, jack up the prices 30% and put it in the financial district. That's Max's Deli.

I work around the corner from Max's and my office has tried most every breakfast spot in the area and we all agree that Max's is the best! Their breakfast sandwiches always hit the stop and you can't beat their Friday special of eggs benedict! Save yourself and just go to Max's!

Excellent breakfast served up fast. For only $5.95 I got 3 scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns and crispy bacon. Service was friendly and efficient. My only complaint is that the eggs were a touch dry. Come on Friday for an enormous pancake for $1.50.

Great, no frills breakfast. Authentic American cafe well frequented by local trades and business people.

This place doesn't kid around when it comes to sandwiches. I first got introduced to this place when they somehow did a free catering event at my company. Shrimp, steak, the whole nine yards. Then, they gave us like 999999 coupons for 1 dollar off a meal. What excuse do I have not to go?! The sandwiches are not going to be value sandwiches like at Al's where you can get huge sandwiches for like under 10 dollars.

These sandwiches are like 13-15 dollars and are really heavy. I usually get the Cuban or Reuben with coleslaw. They make the Cuban fresh with a lot of meat, little to no vegetables, spicy chipotle mayo, and they toast it in a sandwich press. I tried getting fries on the side one time and was surprised at the serving size. You could probably split it 4 ways with the amount they give. I've also gotten the steak tip plate with rice and salad.

The meat is really good, and I think they grill it. It semi makes me feel healthy with the salad, but definitely has a lot of fat. I think the rice is rice pilaf that is cooked in butter. It's a little out of the way for my morning commute to get breakfast, but I'm sure it is good.

Stay away! I ordered thousands of dollars of catering from them over the years through EZ Cater. I have given them so many chances and kept using them after tons of problems, just late orders or early orders or just not showing up. Well, they didn't show up today for a breakfast meeting and the fact that they are so nonchalant about it, is what infuriates me.

They don't care. They said that they forgot. Really? This is for a business meeting in the financial district in Boston and they forgot. Well, I'm officially done ordering from them and I suggest who reads this that you do not order any catering from them ever since you won't know if it will actually get there or not. I see from the reviews below that people are fed up. I'm officially done. Good bye Max's deli.

My colleague picked up lunch today and after I looked at their menu, I chose the "Turkey sandwich, Thanksgiving style." Let me tell you, this is a monster. There's a whole lot of food going on here. A healthy portion of thin-sliced turkey, followed by stuffing and then cranberry sauce. Nicely done and I could barely eat half. Tasty and a good portion. I will likely be ordering from Max's again.

We went here for a sit down breakfast on a busy Monday morning. As visitors, we saw many locals and catering orders that seemed to be going in and out the door. Used a Groupon, and without a doubt would go back without one. We got two amazing omelettes, filled with a a variety of veggies, meats and cheese. They were hot, very filling, and total cost was less than 15$. The lunch menu was very diverse, and while we did not try anything else, would certainly go back.

I work nearby and occasionally come in here for lunch, especially when I'm craving fast fish and chips. Unfortunately, with 15 minute wait times to get your food, they're not so fast. Also a pile of flavorless, soggy, pre-frozen fries makes for a pretty unsatisfactory "chip" complement in the dish, although the fried whitefish is pretty good. $15 for the "fish and chips" and a bottle of water? I really need to stop doing this to myself.

I occasionally come here for their breakfast sandwiches. I usually order the sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant. The croissant is buttery and toasted. The sandwich is much better than the ones at Dunkie's. This week, I also tried their buffalo chicken wrap and chicken parmesan sandwich. Both were surprisingly good and not too salty.

The people are nice and they feature a lot of sandwiches and wraps. There are tables, once you order grab a table they'll bring it over. Lunch averages $12.00 with a drink.

We order breakfast and got a big boy to-go. The food was okay. The employees were having some type of conflict amongst each other when we ordered our sandwich, this caused the employee to forget our sauce on the side. If I lived in Boston, I probably wouldn't visit again.

A Groupon deal led me to Max's while in Boston. The prices are pretty jacked up even by Boston standards although the breakfast costs are very reasonable. Just a heads up that breakfast does end at 11am. 3 sandwiches and 3 12oz canned soft drinks was like $45. That is steep for what you get, which is a cafeteria style ordering line with a small cramped dining area that has some weird make shift office desk in the middle of it.

The dining room area is in wicked need of a top to bottom cleaning. The "burnt tips" sandwich was really more of a chopped beef brisket BBQ, the Cuban sandwich was OK, not the most authentic representation but decent and the pulled pork was drowning in BBQ sauce. Portions are big but so is the price. They seem to have a following of sorts. It was a mix of regulars consisting of business and blue collar folks along with out of towner's drawn by the marketing and high profile location. If you go you'll be fine.if you don't.you'll still be fine.

I work Downtown, and someone recommend this place to me. So I decided to give it a try. Compared to some of the other places I usually get breakfast from I would say their breakfast wasn't bad. I ordered eggs with sausage and toast. Maybe next time I will give their lunch a try. However, I would recommend this place to others in the area.

1st impression - Wow, $9.95 (+tax) for a buffalo chicken wrap. This place has a "Fair trade certified" sticker on their door which typically guarantees you're about to get ripped off. Issue #2 - Twice I specified no tomatoes while ordering, and sure enough my wrap was stocked full of tomatoes (not a big deal, it happens) Issue #3 - The chicken in this wrap is the most disgusting rubbery chicken I've ever had.

I could only eat a few bites before tossing it in the trash, and I'm someone who lives for buffalo chicken. Never again. 0 stars and this is the first negative review I've written, I'm not a nit-picker
