Moody's Deli Opens Its Doors in the Back Bay

BACK BAY, MA - A Waltham mainstay, Moody's Delicatessen opened today on Boylston Street in the Back Bay, according to Boston Magazine.

The opening was announced via Moody's Instagram page. The new restaurant is set to serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and deli items out of the 3,100 square foot location at 500 Boylston Street.

Rebecca's Cafe, which previously occupied the space, shut its doors in September.

According to a Boston Magazine profile, the restaurant has been set up as a take out spot.

After ordering, guests will pass the coffee station, where they’ll pick up beverages and quick things like bagels, doughnuts, and scones. Moody’s partnered with La Colombe Coffee Roasters at this new location to offer a full range of the Philadelphia roaster’s drinks, including its signature Draft Latte and Pure Black on tap. Baker Luke Fetbroth will continue making bagels and other pastries, and the bakery program is rounded out with breads from Iggy’s, and A&J King Artisan Bakers in Salem.

Main orders will be picked up down the line from an open kitchen area. Employees will be armed with handheld point-of-sale machines for any last-minute orders, Smith notes. At the far end of the line, near the courtyard entrance from 500 Boylston, there will be a buffet of prepared foods like wood-fired rotisserie chicken, prime rib, and seasonal vegetables for folks to take home.
