Piperi Opens in Boston's Downtown Financial District

By Naomi Kooker

Modern Mediterranean fast-casual cafe Piperi opened Monday in Boston’s Financial District near Government Center. Thomas John (formerly Au Bon Pain, Mantra) is behind the all-day dining operation, which opens at 7 AM offering breakfast items, serves lunch all day and shutters at 6 PM. 

Pronounced pip-AIR-ee, the ode to peppercorns in Greek focuses on freshly prepared Mediterranean-inspired dishes such as the Gozi, a signature flatbread sandwich; salads; and mezze - hot dishes served with rice. Guests choose their dish, then add protein like grilled chicken, steak or falafel, and choose up to four toppings such as hummus, feta cheese, olives and more. While takeout is the norm, the cafe seats upwards of 20 people.

Piperi is open 7 AM-6 PM weekdays, Saturday 11 AM-3 PM and closed Sundays.
