Al’s Cafe

About

Al’s Cafe is a downtown Boston sub shop built around one goal: a sub sandwich that cannot be surpassed. Subs and salads anchor the menu, and the business pairs a fanaticism for food quality and customer service with loyalty to its customers. Reviews shared by the cafe single out the fresh bread, a well-mixed tuna sub and the chicken salad, and one regular who has been coming since 2015 calls the bag lunch probably the best-value lunch downtown.

The cafe also caters, preparing food for birthday parties, holiday parties, corporate events, rehearsal dinners and wedding festivities, for gatherings large or small. Its catering team says it brings years of experience to making each event a success. The Downtown Boston Alliance lists Al’s Cafe among the area’s casual dining and takeout spots, and its website welcomes visitors to Al’s State Street Cafe.
