City Feed and Supply, Jamaica Plain

While in Boston for a convention, my husband and I visited my daughter on a Sunday morning and decided to have a quick breakfast before our car trip home.

My daughter wanted to show us where she worked in Jamaica Plain, so that seemed like a good place to eat. As we passed City Feed and Supply on Centre Street, she said "Let's go there, I hear they have good food." So we did.

City Feed is a comfortable, "earthy crunchy" store/cafe. They sell a fair amount of organic-type produce and groceries, and make a wide variety of fresh sandwiches. We ordered breakfast sandwiches with sausage and eggs and I also ordered a scooped out bagel with a side of extra crisp bacon. Delicious. The bagel was one of the best I've had in years.

Sat down at one of their cafe tables to eat and enjoyed a very nice cappuccino. I'm a bit fussy about coffee, and don't drink it very often, usually only when I travel as a splurge. If it's bitter, I take one sip and I'm done. City Feed's cappuccino was smooth, no trace of bitterness, and as the last thing I imbibed on the trip, it was a terrific parting crown jewel.

This is a nice little neighborhood spot. If I worked or lived in the area, I'd be a frequent guest.

Once again, you lucky Bostonians.

    I once had a breakfast sandwich there, and thought it was kind of flavorless. Some of their lunch sandwiches are great though.

      it is a nice place and in my neighborhood and I just never think to go. Spot on about the coffee. Thanks for the reminder.
