The Pantry offers a mixed experience, with some customers praising the amazing food and friendly staff, while others were put off by the poor service. The atmosphere is described as hit and miss, with cleanliness concerns and limited menu options due to Covid. However, there are positive mentions of delicious sandwiches, cakes, and hot drinks. Overall, it seems like The Pantry can be a great spot for a quick meal or snack, but the quality of service may vary. Consider stopping by for a unique dining experience in Dorchester, but be prepared for inconsistencies.
