Had a huge expectation since it had almost 3000 reviews on yelp and most of them were 5 stars. I went there on Friday 3PM, and still had to wait for 1 hour. I think the reason for the wait was not because there were so much people waiting for to get some best oyster in Boston. The place is really really small. I ordered 12 oysters(can't remember those names), clam chowder, and lobster roll. Clam Chowder was alright, pretty decent. but not as I expected, I ate better clam chowder at local seafood shop at Seattle. (3/5) Oyster was really fresh and I liked it. (4/5) FINALLY, LOBSTER ROLL IS WHY YOU WANT TO GO HERE SRSLY PPL THIS IS THE BEST LOBSTER ROLL I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND DOUBT IF I WILL EVER GET TO EAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN. I AM GOING THERE AGAIN AND THEIR LOBSTER ROLL IS WORTH OF 2-4 HOURS WAIT. GOD DAMN... Thanks for reading my review. i'm deducting 1 star just because the clam chowder and oyster was not like freaking amazing. They were just decent. pretty good tasting tho.

I used to love Herrels but never went to Allston Cafe. Finally this place actually looks clean. The wood decor is awesome. I didn't go for food. I went on a friday night to get coffee with a friend. The coffee was great. I got a iced mocha latte. I do have to agree the wait for coffee is really long. It was 15 min before I got my latte but i wasn't in any rush and was just going to hangout with a friend so I didn't mind. The tables are nice and it made me want to sit and lounge. I'd definitely go back but this wouldn't be my go to coffee place if I'm in a hurry.

I'd like to title this review, "Non-Vegans Need Not Flee In Terror!" I am not FoMu's target audience. I LOVE cheese and I ADORE ice cream. I used to eat a pint of Haagen Daz every day in my senior year of high school. I wasn't even stressed out - I ate it because it was delicious. That said, FoMu was fantastic. My favorite flavor (after obnoxiously trying 5) was Honey Lavender, and I got chocolate on top. The coconut milk texture was actually wonderful. Perhaps vegans aren't all crazy after all! A rare 5 star rating from me. Bonus: they serve excellent coffee and espresso here too. If it's evening, ask for a decaf americano. :)

Cold lobstah rolls are everywhere. For a warm, buttery lobstah roll, Neptune is where to go! Warning: Do Not chow down on this if you freak out on butter! I love to dunk my lobstah meat in butter every time I order a steamed lobster so this is perfect for me. A bun filled with lobster meat and butterized. Heart attack heaven!

I work nearby and eat here all the time. The pizza is the best, no skimping here! The subs are awesome too! I have never been disappointed with the food or the service. Can't wait for the new location to open.

This is a great alternative to those with lactose sensitivity. It just opened up about 6 weeks ago. It's awesome that Allston is getting this quality of a cafe/ice cream pallor. I got cookies and cream and thought it was delicious. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it was a little on the "too sweet" side for me. That might not be fair since it was ice cream after all but I wish someone would invent ice cream that wasn't so sweet. They also offer amazing coffee (sorry can't remember the name) and other treats like mexican chocolate. It even has wifi. It's the kind of place where you could hang out for a couple of hours and who can resist the cute name!
