Reviews For Boston Lock Café

Went for lunch today, having never been before, and have to say that it was really delicious!! The staff were ever so friendly and welcoming. My mum and I both had a croque madame, which was really filling and tasty! I think it was 11.60 and hubby and my son had a breakfast burrito, which I think was 10.90. My son was very impressed with the mega milkshake!!! It was a beautiful day, and you can sit outside by the lock. Will definitely go back again!!!

Absolutely loved eating here! Even the dog got an ice cream treat, they even had some boards made up to hold the ice cream so you didn't get cold hands! The food was fresh, delicious and definitely worth every penny. I feel like this may be a regular visit when we're in the area! Thank you so much for you warm welcome too

Stopped here to get a coffee and so pleased we did. The coffee latte was very smooth and nice and the cafe was clean and very well presented. I'm not really keen on fresh food being exposed to all and would like to see some sort of cover. Coffee was reasonably priced but we also had 2 small pieces of Rocky Road cake and that was a little steep.... 4 each... Staff were polite and courteous and the owner spent some time explaining how they keep their menu fresh because it's based around what they want to put on the menu so the menu is always updated and keeps it fresh for repeated visits as there will always be something new for you to try. Highly recommend a visit if you are passing this way.v
