Editorial Review for Hi-Rise Bread Company – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Earthy, academic types sit at a long, wooden communal table, dining on chewy raisin-pecan bread and fresh cornbread made with stone-ground corn. Citrusy orange-lemon scones and lime-poppy cakes are also big draws. Among standout sandwiches is the Mahatma Gloves--a curried chicken sandwich with cashews and lime-mango chutney. The chocolate sandwich cookies are filled with extra-thick vanilla cream.

We went there today thinking it would be fun to have some good salad after a run. So - the salad seemed to be cut at least a day or two ago, the service was horrible (they kept on forgetting the things we ordered), but worst of all - even thou that we sat at the place they serve everything in plastic - plastic boxes for the salad and plastic utensils - it seems that these people didn't hear that the environment is fighting for it's life. The prices are high enough for them to afford some dishes and a dishwasher.

The staff is either snobby or unhappy. Plenty of better bakeries with nicer people around. Hi-Rise should change it's name to Lo Rise. Any positive reviews you read pertaining to great customer service must be written by the owner himself and/or the staff. I've had enough, they have lost my business. Recommendation: Petsi Pies, Cambridge & Somerville

Pros: pastries, bread,rolls

Cons: bad attitude
