50 Best Coffee Shops near Leicester

“The 4pm donut deal ((((:“

“do I recommend dunkin...the answer is yes and no... I go every week to the Leicester one in the center on my way to work. every time we get munchkins which isn't often, but they are not "done" they are to sticky to touch, even the donuts if the frosting is sticking to the bash the kids are sad they list the frosting. the muffins usually have sugar on the top, NOT a fan of that! but sometime it's a Erin for me bc they forgot to put that on. the snacking bacon... amazing when done right! I've had a couple times when it's crispy perfect! last FOUR times so fatty you can't even eat it! I was hoping for a message me button so this was not public, but couldn't find one. im NOT one to complain but this has happened more than I think it should.“

“Great staff and the drinks are consistent. Absolutely think the organization of the display is bonkers. During heavy traffic everyone inside waiting on line or picking up drinks gets in each other's way since it only allows one person at a time through. Honestly rotate that display 90 degrees and I'd give the atmosphere 5 stars.“

“I order their coffee beans off Amazon. Good beans, freshly roasted. Turned my espresso machine into a crema beast.“

“great chai latte amazing food cute place!!“

“Been going here since they opened in 2024. They alwyas have top notch sugar cane juices and Vietnamese iced coffee. My favorite thing about them as that they always release new drinks depending on the season which makes coming always refreshing. Go for the Eggspresso which is their take on the Vietnamese iced coffee with a custard egg yolk cream foam!“

“My new favorite in Northampton“

“Best ice chai I've ever had!!“

“We ordered the Celebrate birthday cake for my sons birthday and it was absolutely AMAZING. It tasted so fresh and the cake just melts in your mouth. This is my new cake shop now!“

“Amazing!! First visit to Brilla Coffee and I was impressed! Friendly baristas, delicious food and beverages (coffee and chai latte). Restaurant, including restrooms, were spotless. I hope to have the opportunity to visit again.“

“I've been here quite a few times now. Overall, it is pretty good. The vibe inside isn't super cozy or anything special, but the fancy-ness of the coffee makes up for that. I always get a breakfast sandwich and a tiramisu latte. The tiramisu latte is ridiculously expensive, but I always end up getting it simply because it tastes so good. The breakfast sandwiches are decent, nothing I would go specifically for but it's good enough that I'm not bothered buying one.“

“We love Sweet Java! Everything is absolutely delicious and made with love! It has a wonderful atmosphere. The Grecian Acai bowls are to die for!!! Yum! ❤️“

“I like this coffee shop, the location - café trottoir - musicians or bands on Fridays or Saturdays. Nice owner“

“Hadn't visited The Coffee Mug for some time until as of recent since I'm back working in the area, and been back multiple times. Everytime you walk in you have a warm welcome from the owner Effie. Everything from breakfast to lunch is made with love and tasty. I have to yet try the Turkey Dinner Special on Thuradays but will be sure to post when I do!“

“We hired Mara and her team for our wedding cake and they did a phenomenal job! From the beginning of cake tasting and sitting down with Mara to come up with what we wanted for our day to the day of the event we have nothing but great things to say. We wanted something simple and chose a smaller cake to cut into and a total of three different flavors cakes for guests (red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting, chocolate cake and raspberry frosting, and lastly vanilla cake and vanilla frosting for those who like to keep it simple). The cakes were so moist and flavorful. Our guests couldn’t stop saying how delicious they were and where they were from. We even got an anniversary cake that we cannot wait to eat again. We are so grateful and thankful for this bakery and making our bellies full and tastebuds so happy. 🥰“

“Great fresh coffee with lots of flavors, Love the breakfast sandwiches especially cheddar bagel and croissants.“

“The staff working the drive-through should be paid better money because they're so friendly and put up with a lot. If your a bagel you can't mess that up. When they try to sell actual food, sandwiches. They are not built for that type of handling. So, it can be horrible. Keep it Donuts and coffee ☕️“

“Their crossaints are not only creative in flavor but are Top notch!!! The churro sugar and potato curry are the absolute BOMB!!! Cookies are pretty amazing and tasty too!! I’m pretty confident that whatever you try there, you will be crawling back for more!!! TRY EVERYTHING!!!“

“Got a cake last minute in a pinch today here and absolutely loved it!! Will definitely be going back!“

“I absolutely love this place. Everything I've tried has been amazing. The girl who works the register is very sweet and polite. My only issue is the prices are a little bit high. The last time I was there I got six items and I believe it was about 45 or $50. So yeah that's a little costly but it is delicious and it is a great place“

“Gps may seem iffy but it's located in an old industrial building. You have to self order at a computer which is a little annoying but otherwise fine. Dark coffee is a solid 4/5 starts a little dull but cools off perfectly. Loads of seating space, which is great and lots of coffee bean varieties for purchase“

“A plethora of literature to peak any avid and un-scrupulous readers interest..the owners are really wonderful, inviting and welcoming folks. I was so happy to have found this gem!! The smoothir bar is oh-so-delicious and the offerings are quite blissful!! Thank you SO MUCH for being so fantastic!! >>> & for the Sylvia Plath book of poetry.... feeding my SOUL!“

“During the academic year (August to May) this is a very crowded place, but the number of staff expands or contracts according to historical need. Other reviewers have noted the frightening level of efficiency here and it is very true. You'll get your order rapidly even if the place is very crowded. At WPI classes end at 10 minutes before the hour, so the best practice is to visit the place in the bottom half of the hour.“

“Always like this Starbucks. Baristas are friendly and the food is always done just right.“

“I have been to many many many Dunkin’s throughout my life. And this one hands down has the fastest smoothest service ever. It’s so fast that no matter the rush hour I have to make sure I’m ready because I’m not trying to mess up their flow lol I love it here. It’s my FIRST go to Dunkin’s in my way to work. They have never messed up my order which is so rare. Management is everything. The lady who takes the drive through orders is so respectful and kind and I’m pretty sure it’s her that makes sure everything is running smooth. Thank you for making my mornings so much easier.“

“I give Goodhiles a Five star rating for many reasons. The store is small in size but offers variety of items for customers. Hot and cold breakfast, lunch and dinner menus ranging from breakfast sandwiches to subs, pizza and ect. A massive variety of ice cream flavors. Alcoholic beverages from ice cold beer - wine and a premium Rum such as Captains.
In addition, candy, chips, Tabasco, gum, energy drinks, fruit drinks and ect. There is also two areas to sit and eat and a picnic table outside as well. Great place to stop when traveling. Also the Owner Tony, his son and all staff are extremely friendly and always courteous.“

“Absolutely delicious donuts! So fresh, perfectly balanced with the sweet toppings.“

“Best coffee and food in Holden! Many menu options including delicious donuts, egg sandwiches, pancakes and even fried rice! The ice mocha coffee is my favorite. the owners are lovely too! If you go enough she'll know your order by heart!“

“I've only been to this place twice, but each time it's been very good. The workers are very nice and they have a lot of unique and delicious things. I've tried their cookies and cream iced coffee and the recent Thanksgiving sandwich (I cannon remember the name of it) recently and definitely enjoyed it! I recommend going here for coffee or a bite to eat. There is a lot of variety!“

“I found Nicole when struggling to find a stylist who did curly hair for my then 3 year old daughter. I loved her natural approach and vibe and use her for myself as well. My daughter is now 6, Nicole is her favorite "hair doctor" to go to visit and chat with like a big girl. We would never go elsewhere she is more than fantastic with my child, her knowledge and experience is evident with each appointment. Thank you Nicole and you deserve the best clients and all awards earned are well deserved.“

“As the crisp autumn air of October 21, 2024, filled my lungs, I found myself on a nostalgic trip through Worcester, perusing open houses in the area. The trees lining the streets were a breathtaking tapestry of green, yellow, and orange, their foliage a perfect backdrop for my caffeine-fueled adventure. It was during this excursion that I stumbled upon a hidden gem – the Starbucks at 24 Boynton St, nestled within the bustling campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).

For cafe nomads like myself, the holy trinity of power outlets, ample seating, and accessible restrooms is paramount. This Starbucks not only met but exceeded these criteria with flying colors. As I stepped inside, I was immediately struck by the spaciousness of the interior. The high, vaulted ceiling created an airy, almost cathedral-like atmosphere, adorned with sleek wooden beams and modern light fixtures that cast a warm glow throughout the space.

The store was alive with the vibrant energy of college students, their animated conversations and furious typing creating a symphony of productivity. Long tables stretched across the room, dotted with laptops, textbooks, and the occasional board game. Power outlets were abundant, a godsend for digital nomads and students alike.

What truly set this Starbucks apart was its unique cohabitasion with Jamal's Chicken, adding an intriguing culinary dimension to the standard coffee shop fare. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled tantalizingly with the scent of savory spices, creating an olfactory experience that was both comforting and exciting.

Large windows flooded the space with natural light, offer glimpses of the picturesque WPI campus beyond. It was a perfect vantage point to observe the ebb and flow of college life while sipping on a meticulously crafted latte.

As I settled into a cozy corner with my drink, I couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging. This wasn't just another Starbucks; it was a community hub, a study sanctuary, and a refueling station all rolled into one. The friendly baristas, spotless restrooms, and inviting atmosphere made it clear that this would become a regular stop on my future Worcester visits.

For anyone seeking a place to work, study, or simply unwind, this Starbucks at WPI is a must-visit destination. It's more than just a coffee shop; it's a slice of collegiate life, served with a side of caffeine and charm.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Provides the local community with a brand new venue for food shopping, informal dining and socializing. Just all places just opened (7/31/25) and looking good.“

“This Dunkin Donuts. It's pretty good. The only thing I do not like is the watery coffee but everything else it's amazing, especially one worker. He is amazing. His name is Carlos and very awesome person and he always will be honest with the customer. Love everything they sell here because it's nice and fresh“

“Went thru the Oxford DD on Sutton Ave as i frequently do. On 5/20/2024, I noticed very polarizing political stickers on the drive thru window. DD needs to take these off, or they may get "Bud Lighted" No stickers should be on their building on any kind, especially divisive political ones.“
