They've got a variety of sandwiches & coffee drinks all of which are yummy. It's my go-to place so I am treated like family by staff. There is now an area to eat in on Brighton Ave.
Crooked Mile has become one of my favorite little sandwich spots. They have a good-sized menu for coffee drinks, and a big sandwich/salad selection (basically anything you can get as a sandwich or wrap can also be a salad). Fancy? Nope. Reliably delicious? Definitely! A couple of my favorites are the Greek wrap, the Cobb salad or wrap, and the Buffalo chicken wrap, which has a wonderfully spicy dressing. You can sit inside or out, but I tend to grab and go--the Brighton Ave. location is easy to swing into on your way somewhere else. Very friendly staff too, and my orders never take long even at peak times. The Old Port location for some reason doesn't have the same vibe and I definitely recommend the Brighton spot in particular. Stop by!
Overall, I enjoyed this place! It was a cute and a nice vibe. Small, neighborhood cafe, with extensive choices for lunch and breakfast. The workers themselves were very nice and accommodating to my strong hatred for tomatoes. They had drinks that you could chose from and you got a free bag of chips. They had limited seating inside and practically none outside which was a bummer if I do say so myself. The sandwiches themselves were overall, mid. It was disappointing to say the least, and due to the amount of money I know owe my sister because I "forgot my wallet" it's safe to say i'm unimpressed. But, it was a nice outing and a good place for me to successfully avoid going to classes!
This is a great little spot. The kind of spot you hope is in your neighborhood. Great sandwiches and coffee for breakfast with fast service! Looking forward to trying them out for lunch!
Crooked Mile is a really cute little coffee shop. My friends and I stopped by on our way back to Boston to fuel up before the ride. They have all the necessities, including your standard coffee drinks and plenty of sandwich options. The service was a bit on the slower side, given it's a smaller shop, but that's to be expected. I'd be happy to come back again!
