Years ago, after stopping by the Little Feed (then the only Feed) to pick up some ice cream on the way to dinner with friends, I decided that if JP could support a store like this, then I should move there. So a few months later I moved from a downtown rental to a place in JP, very close to the Boylston store. It has become, as one of my friends puts it, my extended refrigerator. I go there 4-6x a week. During the pandemic, I've also ordered regular deliveries from the Big Feed. For someone without a car, these deliveries have been a lifeline. My favorites include the awesome turkey sandwich (a gourmet treat), bags of Equal Exchange coffee, and breakfast pastries from the display case. I buy...
My friend and I spent the day in Boston, and I stumbled upon this fantastic deli/café called City Feed and Supply through HappyCow. It was easy to locate, just a short walk from the Stony Brook T-Stop (orange line). When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by four cheerful employees. I decided to order a Tofurky sandwich and asked if the whole grain bread was vegan. One of the staff members informed me that it contained honey, but she kindly offered me a vegan bread option instead. I chose the baguette, which I highly recommend. I also ordered an iced Americano, and to my delight, it was made with freshly brewed organic fair-trade beans. We watched as our sandwiches were freshly prepared righ...
City Feed is somehow synonymous with JP. The space on Centre street is fairly large for a small grocery like store, and well stocked. That said, expect to pay a fairly high premium on your organically raised, locally sourced, hand crafted everything. Think of the prices less like going to a grocery store and more like a year round farmer 's market. Groceries aside, most of my money at City Feed goes to their beverages (shout out to my absolute favorite, the Kick in the Face and to their sandwiches (proscuitto sandwich, you know I love you the most . Tip: If you 're hoping to get a bunch of sandwiches, call ahead and avoid the wait! Pro tip: Make sure you call the correct City Feed the one on...
I've stopped in here a few times and really enjoy the food/drinks. Pastries from Danish Pastry House as well as Iggy's are delicious- I'm partial to the apple bear claw and the almond croissant. I'm not a coffee drinker, but CF&S definitely makes the best chai latte I've had in JP because (I'm pretty sure) they use a chai concentrate instead of a teabag. They only lose a star because the staff is less than friendly. On my most recent visit, I was not greeted, despite being the only one there, and then the woman behind the counter never once looked at me while taking my order and barely spoke. The staff on Centre St are way more welcoming.

The service here is always friendly, and today was no exception. Unfortunately, my sandwich was a bit lacking in fillings, which was disappointing as it's not the usual experience. I appreciate the follow-up, City Feed, and thank you for your willingness to make it right. I recently moved and can only visit occasionally, which contributed to my disappointment, as this restaurant has become a destination for me. It’s not easy for me to take you up on your offer, but I still plan to visit whenever I’m in the area. One sandwich that wasn’t quite right out of the many good ones I’ve had won’t deter me. Thank you for your response.
I was craving a speciality type sandwich instead of a run of the mill sub) to bring on a picnic to Jamaica pond. I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich #1) on a baguette. The employees were friendly and I enjoyed walking around the store and picking out some treats for our picnic as I waited. The sandwich was very flavorful, fresh and well balanced. I took off one star since it did take about 25 mins to make the sandwich- next time I will call ahead.
I felt very comfortable buying individually wrapped bagels until today when bagels were picked up with tissue and dropped in a small brown paper bag as pre-covid 19. We can't forgot cashier is handling money back and forth and handing the small brown paper bags back to the customers. Food that can't be cooked or that you can't peel should be individually wrapped to avoid contamination.
Sandwich was good. I got (I think) the #1. Smoked Turkey sandwich with pesto, roasted red pepper spread, smoked cheddar, lettuce and marinated onions. I added avocado. If the bread was toasted it would have been 10/10. Overall good neighborhood spot.

The sandwiches here are amazing! They're made fresh to order and we're yet to try one we haven't liked. I particularly recommended the farmers lunch. We love supporting local businesses and this place makes it so easy.
This restaurant has significantly improved under the new manager! I'm thrilled to see Jake taking the lead!
