Welcome to the
Revolution
Two Ways to Join the Family:
The Shop & The Shelf
Just Us Foods isn’t just one thing. We’re a lifestyle, and we exist in two spaces so you’re covered wherever you go.
The Hummus Shop:
Your Beacon Hill Hangout
This is our flagship. Our heartbeat. Located at 37 Charles Street in Beacon Hill, The Hummus Shop is where the magic happens, live and in-person. We spin fresh hummus every day, fry up falafel right when you order, and serve bowls that make people stop outside to ask, “What smells so good?” If you want the full-on experience of sizzling spices, warm pita, and real conversation, then this is your spot.
The Retail Line:
Any Kitchen’s Secret Weapon
This is how you bring the revolution home. We pack our small-batch hummus, our freezer-friendly Fantastic Falafel, and our legendary tahini dressing so you can stock up with the good stuff. Find us in markets across New England, or in select Whole Foods stores for a quick solution that’s there when you need to meal prep, power-snack, or whip up dinner fast.
Explore Retail LineHey, New England! Welcome to the digital home of Just Us Foods. If you’ve landed here, you’re probably hungry. But let’s be real, you’re not just looking for calories. You want a vibe. You want flavors that get your pulse going. You want healthy food in Boston that never tastes like cardboard or forces you to give up joy for a protein boost.
You have officially arrived.
We’re Just Us Foods, and shaking up how this city eats is the whole point. Whether you’re strolling the bricks on Beacon Hill or standing at home hunting for a snack that actually hits the spot, consider us your new best friends. We’re a retail product company serving up the absolute best plant-based staples for your fridge, plus we run The Hummus Shop: your new Beacon Hill hang, and the coolest spot for a healthy lunch in Boston.
This is about way more than just chickpeas. It’s about real energy. It’s about community. It’s about proving that "fast" and "healthy" totally work together, no footnotes needed. Grab a pita, settle in, and get ready to see why your next meal is about to be your favorite one yet.
The Struggle is Real:
Navigating the Boston Food Scene
Listen, we love Boston. It’s home. It’s the backdrop to our story. But let’s be honest for a second. Finding truly healthy food in Boston has always been way trickier than it should be.
We get the struggle. You’re hustling between meetings in Seaport, classes in Cambridge, or grinding through a shift at mass General. You want lunch. You search "healthy lunch Boston," and you find wilted salads for twenty bucks that leave you starving, sugar-packed smoothies masquerading as health food, or you settle for heavy chowder, pizza, or pub grub and regret it after.
That changes today.
You deserve food that fuels your day (and tastes legit). Plant-based eating shouldn’t feel like a punishment! It should feel like a party. That’s why we built Just Us Foods. We’re bridging the gap between convenience and quality so you can eat clean, high-protein meals that hit with authentic, rich, ridiculously good flavor.
The Just Us Product Line: Chef-Quality at Home
We know you can’t always make it to Charles Street. That’s why our retail line exists: to rescue you from bland, mass-produced supermarket hummus and gluey falafel mixes.
You know the drill: Hummus that’s been sitting on shelves forever, loaded with stabilizers and preservatives... not our style.
The 4 AM Commitment
We’re serious about handmade food. Our kitchen in Medford, MA, is buzzing at 4 AM every Tuesday, with our crew blending chickpeas while most are still snoozing. Soaking raw chickpeas overnight matters. It gives our hummus that ultra-smooth, super creamy texture and makes it easier on your stomach. No canned shortcuts. Just overnight soaking, small-batch blending, and quality that can’t be faked. Every tub of Just Hummus tastes fresh-off-the-blender.
The Perfect Freeze
Let’s be real: Falafel at home is usually a hassle. Equipment, mess, and half the time it falls apart. We fixed that. Our Fantastic Falafel comes raw, shaped, and frozen, all made with sprouted chickpeas and fresh herbs. Pop them right into your air fryer or oven, and you get hot, crispy, fluffy falafel every time (no greasy, over-processed hockey pucks).
Ingredient Intel: What Are You Actually Eating?
We’re huge believers that you should know exactly what you’re feeding your body. Transparency is kind of our thing. In a world of ultra-processed “health foods,” we’re keeping it basic and real.
Unlocking the Secrets of Falafel
The base is soaked chickpeas, fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, mint), onion, garlic, with cumin and coriander for punch. That’s it! Ours is plant-protein gold. High in fiber, naturally gluten-free, and (because we use sprouted chickpeas) supercharged for easy digestion and max nutrition. When you eat our falafel, you get whole food, blitzed and seasoned to perfection. No fillers, no junk. The flavor and color? All real.
Hummus vs. The World
Another biggie: “Is hummus better for you than peanut butter?” or “Why pick hummus over ranch dip?” Here’s the scoop: Hummus is lower in calories and fat than peanut butter but still rich and satisfying. It’s savory and makes a perfect dip for veggies, helping you get more greens in. Our hummus is packed with: Chickpeas (steady energy and protein), Tahini (heart-healthy fats), Fresh Lemon (Vitamin C), and Garlic & Spices. NO Preservatives.
The Man Behind the Chickpea:
Our Origin Story
We didn’t start in a boardroom, we started with wheels. Just Us Foods was dreamed up by our founder, Colin Daly, a lifelong New Englander and massive fan of real, authentic eats. He saw Boston needed food with soul and fuel, so he bought a food truck, decked it out, and hit every brewery, festival, and wedding after-party around.
That food truck was our testing ground. It’s where we invented our original “Just Amazing Tahini” dressing (trust us, once you try it, you’ll get why it’s famous). It’s where Colin learned what Boston craves and how to serve the people.
Shop with us, and you support a local dream.
Living the "Just Us" Way
How do you bring this whole vibe to your daily routine? This isn’t a once-in-a-while treat. It’s daily, easy fuel. Here’s how to do it, Just Us style:
The Power Breakfast
Toast some whole-grain bread, load it with Roasted Beet Hummus, avocado slices, and hemp seeds. Wild color, ultimate flavor, and you’ll be full until lunch.
Beacon Hill Lunch Break
Swing by 37 Charles Street and grab "The New Chick" – our vegan chickpea salad pita. Creamy, herby, absolutely nostalgic (think classic chicken salad, but plant-based).
3 PM Slump Snack
Desk life got you fading? Skip the vending machine. Find that Zesty Black Bean Hummus and dunk bell peppers or snap peas. Habanero heat snaps you awake.
Dinner Shortcut
Air fry Fantastic Falafel, wash some greens, chop a tomato, and whisk our Tahini Dressing for a killer 15-minute dinner way healthier than delivery.
Why "Healthy" Doesn't Have to Mean "Boring"
There’s a myth that being healthy in New England means endless steamed broccoli and plain chicken breast. We’re not about that life. Flavor is fuel. Joy counts as nutrition. If you don’t look forward to your meals, you’re never going to keep up the healthy habits.
Flavor is fuel. Joy counts as nutrition. That's why we use massive spices like cumin, coriander, fiery schug. That’s why we roast actual beets for our hummus and only use top-notch olive oil. We prove you can have big macros for workouts, clean ingredients for health, and bold flavor for sanity, all in one bowl.
Join the Revolution
This is your invite. Done with the same sad lunch lineup? Let us change your mind. Not convinced a plant-based meal will fill you up? Let us prove it. Want a brand that cares as much about vibes and community as it does about vitamins? Found your new crew.
We’re building a squad of “hummus heads” across Boston and beyond, fueling students, docs, marathoners, and families just trying to win the veggie game.
