“Amazing donuts, fast service and friendly staff. Being from out of town we happened to drive by this location in June of 2023. My kids and I are donut snobs so it takes a great donut to get 5 stars. The donuts were fresh and everything we were looking for. Wish we lived closer as this would be a regular stop for us.“

“My boyfriend thought we didn't get our dunkin giftcard back when going through the drive thru and we called and spoke with Andrea (spelling?) and she was amazingly helpful and nice! She placed me on a quick hold and looked in the trash and then took my name and number down and offered to look at the cameras to confirm. She was so friendly and I couldn't believe she offered to look at the cameras from the morning to find a $16 gift card, great customer service! I called her back 30 seconds later after my BF admitted the gift card magically appeared in his pocket, smh! Great service and quick drive thru and the coffees that morning were perfect! I wish all employees were like Andrea!“

“The only coffee ill drink it delicious you only can buy it in 12 ounces and 5 pounds should able to buy in 2 pounds would be nice sometimes you have one person buying all this 5 pounds coffee just so I can mixed it maybe you guy should start mixing it and selling it that way I took blueberry, banana nut crunch, coconut, and chocolate raspberry it Beyond delicious thanks“

“I tried Worcester Sweets with my friend yesterday. It is a nice spot with very friendly staff. The iced vegan chai I got was very good, but there weren't any vegan options for food. I will most likely be back for another drink but it would be nice if there was something I could eat as well.“

“Suzette offers excellent, fresh, and authentic French crepes and macarons at very affordable prices. The staff is friendly and offers amazing service. I have been many times, and have recently ordered macarons for an event. Over the many instances my friends, family and I have eaten there, I have had nothing short of a flawless experience. I would definitely recommend.“

“Love this spot! Have gotten to enjoy my friends performances here, and also enjoyed playing the open mic there myself! Their charcuterie has a great selection, and their beer is delicious too! Always something new to sip on! Cozy spots to sit and mingle with friends! Would recommend this place to anyone!“

“Fantastic place to stop if in the area! I first visited this place back in 1988 and it hasn't changed at all since then. I go here every single time I travel north. The experience is life-changing. It is like a ballet taking place in front of you while you eat. Everyone knows their job so well and they're doing it with such efficiency and grace. You have to experience this place to understand how wonderful it is. The $19.95 sirloin tip meal is my favorite. The portions are huge! Everything is so tasty and wonderful. Sometimes we detour 80 miles just to come to this place and eat. It is well worth the trip! Please give it a try. You will not regret it.“

“I learned about this place through my tattoo artist, Maks. I FINALLY stopped in and I am glad I did. This place is calming and my kind of style. The blueberry muffins were so moist and filling. I tried the iced honey latte and that was a treat as well. I plan to come back to try their other latte flavors and check out their bar with vendors. Great community collaborative. I appreciated the patience and kindness of the staff on my Saturday morning - they explained everything well and how stuff works there.“

“I'm right handed. If asked to, I'd gladly saw off my right arm in order to have the privilege of eating another egg white delight with ham + swiss. Get it on a pretzel bun and DONT SKIMP, add the aioli. Unffff, just thinking about it makes me sweaty. 10/10, would head here in a zombie apocalypse. I want this to be the last breakfast sandwich I ever eat.“

“I love their Snickers Iced coffee! Get one every morning. Irene is the BESTTT!!! I always have her make my coffee for me All the employees there are super nice and friendly!They have so many different flavored donuts!The jelly donut holes are so tasty! ? ?“

“Great place, salt of the earth. Takes you back in time. I really hope a place like this can stay in the area with all the stuff going on around it. It’s old but has a lot of charm to it. Simple classic breakfast food. Nice view from the windows too, I’d say best view for breakfast in Worcester“

“Highly satisfied with my first visit! Came in around 12pm on a Saturday and was served quickly. Variety of menu items but not overwhelming. Tried the turkey club sandwich on sourdough, fresh bread and delicious smoked bacon with fresh veggies. The house blend cold brew iced coffee was GREAT. My husband liked his Americano, but unfortunately they lost his sandwich order. After a while he went to the counter to check in and the staff was very polite and quickly whipped it up for him. However, he asked for no bacon on his brioche sandwich (he’s vegetarian) and… there was a pile of bacon on his sandwich. Good news for me, extra bacon! We will try this place again because it was cute and we liked the coffee and baked goods.“

“This place is wonderful. Great cakes and pastries, always a kind staff. Everything is delicious! The cakes have become a nice treat to celebrate special occasions, and so far every pastry or cookie we've tried has been a big hit! Always looking for that authentic, delicious flavor, and this is absolutely the bakery to fulfill all those needs and more!“

“We came in earlier this morning during the first snow storm of the winter season. We were the only customers and the employee was eager to help us. I can't recall his name but he was a British/European/Foreign guy, so management you'll probably be able to know who I'm talking about!He was very patient when answering my many questions about the different coffee options as I have never tried coffee before. He was very kind and polite overall and I would give him 10 stars for service! I recently went somewhere else to try coffee for the first time and they acted like I was stupid for not knowing what a mocha was. I suggest the management let him know he's doing a good job!The atmosphere was also very nice. I love that the old interior was kept, showing off the history and heritage of Worcester.The food was very good, the prices not so much. However, as someone who has left establishments because I don't like the prices, I will say paying a little more is worth the experience. I will definitely be back again sometime!“

“We went here for a date night last night and it is such a cute place! the staff was wonderful with a really fun atmosphere. the dessert and drinks were SOOO good! this is great for a romantic date night or a girl's night out. we will absolutely be back! the tiramisu cheesecake was to die for.“

“My ex-girlfriend put me on to Acoustic Java my sophomore year of college, and while that relationship didn't work out, I owe her my life (and GPA, and crippling caffeine addiction) for introducing me to this heaven-sent coffee shop. My personal favorites are the lavender latte (it sounds weird but it's incredible, I promise), the caramel latte (basic, I know, but it's so rich and flavorful), and for a quick bite, I absolutely slam back the avocado toast. I could go on and on about how great of a place it is to study, chat, enjoy live music, and just chill on any given day-- even if I sometimes have to run into my ex. It's worth it. I'm going to fall into a deep depression when I graduate, and won't be in the area anymore, but I'm enjoying it while I can.“

“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!“

“Nice little coffee shop with attentive staff and pleasant decor. Found the coffee to be wonderful with a broad selection of carefully curated beans and roasts.Parking: Plenty of free parking out back, but use care to not block shared spaces for the sewing center.Kid-friendliness: It’s a coffee shop so not unfriendly but maybe not their gigWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access might be tricky.“

“I cannot say enough good things about On The Rise Bakery! Mara helped me make the most AMAZING surprise rehearsal dinner groom's cake for my husband. It had all of his favorites things on it, and was a decadent chocolate and peanut butter cream filling. Everyone loved it!!! She also made my wedding cake! The Flower design was breathtaking!! And no surprise, this cake also tasted fab! My guests are still talking about it! We did vanilla and chocolate cake with chocolate and espresso buttercream, SOOOO GOOD! Can't wait to have a piece of each again on my 1 year anniversary!!!! <3 THANKS MARA AND ON THE RISE!“

“I highly recommend In House Coffee. This place offers a wide variety of different coffees and drinks. Their pastries are also fresh and delicious! The owners are very kind and friendly and they make me feel right at home. I just started coming to this coffee shop about a month and a half ago and have found it to be a great place to just unwind and relax. I'm a writer who enjoys writing poems and the atmosphere here provides a means for me to focus and concentrate on my writings. I actually was able to write an entire poem here while enjoying a coffee mocha. It's a warm and inviting place to go.“

“Not the biggest fan of all of their donuts, but their Oreo donut is ??. Most of their flavored coffees are also fire. Service is always amazing. Some of the best bagels and bagel sandwiches I've ever had. Their lunch stuff is also pretty good too.Parking: It's a smaller lot, but I've never had issues finding parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yes I believe there's a couple handicap spots and there is a ramp to get onto the curb to get inside“

“Love the aesthetics of this cafe. Reminds me of LA. Easy parking and lots of seating inside. DOG FRIENDLY I haven’t tried a smoothie or a bowl yet, but the bagel was fresh and I have gotten their lattes and macchiatos several times. The cookie butter flavor is the best! I also love their honey lavender flavor.I really wish them all of the successful and excited to see what’s to come here!“

“This is a great little spot in Downtown Worcester which is one of the few restaurants that is open 7 days a week for dinner. I've eaten here several times and it is a few blocks from the AC Hotel. I've tried a variety of things and they have all been excellent: miso soup, a variety of sushi, tempura, house salad with ginger dressing. Items that didn't quite meet my expectations were the Avocado Salad, where everything was chopped and lumped together. The Spicy Ramen with chicken was OK, but not the best that I have had. They now have a limited bar, of just beer and wine. Note that the food comes out very fast. If you want several courses, they tend to bring everything close together. I suggest ordering the first course, then adding more on once you finish“

“We have loved all of their pastry items for years and it's our go-to destination for special occasion cakes! Always moist and flavorful. If you're a Chocoholic their cakes and cupcakes are heaven but we discovered their lemon cake/cupcakes too and they're scrumptious!!“

“What a nice surprise to have a not conventional coffee shop in Holden. Well lit and spacious interior that provides plenty of seatings to enjoy a cup of coffee with friends or even work away from office. They do have sandwiches and donuts kind of things, but I only had a cup of Americano and it was good, I believe it’s because of the freshly in house roasted beans. BTW, they do have drive thru window too.“

“I was competing in a bodybuilding competition and forgot my food when I left for the day. Out of desperation, I went in and asked if they could make me plain eggwhites with onions, peppers, and no oil. And they made it so on point, much to my complete exuberation. I was thrilled! They are so sweet and always deliver with a smile. When not in prep, an egg sandwich on an English muffin is my favorite! And I'm pretty picky with my coffee, and theirs is always perfect.“

“I have come to the grid a few times now and I always get a coffee, they are delicious! I was so excited to hear they have gluten free options but for the price they are just not worth it. Thank you for having gluten free options, but please consider stocking different gf bagels.“

“It's a little dessert haven. I walked in on a Friday afternoon just after 4PM. The clean white walls and the smell of fresh coffee still lingered. At the entrance and around the corner from the counter, there's a hidden seating area with tables lined up. Behind the glass, they have different croissants, crumbs and cupcakes. I got the cannoli cupcake and a raspberry crumb to go. The server at the register was so helpful and patient as I made my selection. The ingredients in both desserts were fresh, especially the cream on the cupcake and the raspberry in the crumb. They weren't too sweet either! The only downside was that although they were considerably sized, most options were made from plain vanilla and chocolate as the base with the regular dessert toppings so there wasn't much of a difference in the flavor options. Also the cupcake was slightly overpriced at around $6, considering it was more cream than cake. Nonetheless, I'll definitely visit again and hopefully try the award winning coffee!“

“My husband and I went to the Burlington location today for the first time. The man who helped us was so nice and friendly and made our day. We thought he was the manager but come to find out it was his first day on the job. He was so sweet and nice and made our whole experience!“

“This place is THE BEST.They have an excellent selection of breakfast sandwiches, including steak and kielbasa ontop of the usual options, as well as a great selection of coffee and baked goods. They even have smoothies and a couple choices of monster energy.I add about 15-20 minutes to my commute to stop by for a nice breakfast and the wonderful people that work there because it’s #worthit“

“The girls here are always super pleasant and they have tons of iced and hot coffee flavors including seasonal rotations as well. My go to is the cinnamon sticky bun iced coffee and a chocolate frosted cake donut. Their griddle top is small but they turn out freshly made breakfast sandwiches FAST. I work on the Worcester/Auburn line and I stop in at least 3 times per week. Pro tip - You order and pick up at the same drive through window which can be a little time consuming so I often go inside to order.“

“The owner's are friendly, interesting people who provide excellent service with a big smile! The cusomers are def an ecclectic mix of folks..just having a good time.. hanging out,talking, ready, playing board games. The cafe inside is adorable. It has a warm/rich feel to it and you def feel as if you've been transported to an old European cafe. The food is light and yummy.,The imported coffee beans make your fav beverages rock your world! It's the real deal. They have a nice mix of classic and modern Albanian music playing in the background. They have a little patio area outside/street side that's always lively. Give it a shot! (Lol) I def recommend it.“

“The vibe in impact is always so welcoming and there is certainly never a dull moment! The assortment of teas and shakes is amazing and changes seasonally which is always fun. I’m never disappointed and they have Cora ! The best greeter with 4 paws Kid-friendliness: My kids love Alexa and Momma sue !“

“4 stars because sometimes my cup is full of ice with 5 sips and sometimes there is hardly any ice-Food is typically spot on! Donuts are fresh! Sandwiches are fresh! But again sometimes lots of chicken salad and sometimes not enough to call a sandwich.Service is always great as far as friendliness etc.“

“I absolutely love coming here! Chrissy and her team are so friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have about the products! I was looking for a great smoothie and something that was going to give me energy without the crash of multiple cups of coffee!! Pivot does just that!!! The daily specials are always super tasty! The club has a different theme every week and Chrissy and the girls make such fun names and flavor combinations!If you're looking for a fun place to stop in with a great atmosphere I highly recommend!! Make sure you get a loyalty card so you can get a free item! Definitely will continue to come here to get my healthy and tasty shakes and teas for clean lasting energy!“

“The two women who were working there this morning were very nice. I went in just to get a shot of espresso to add to a Caramel macchiato I had ordered at a different Starbucks (which tasted like caramel milk). They insisted on fixing for me at no charge. They would not accept a tip either - and simply asked me to “pay it forward“. Thank you for the great service!“

“Come here a lot because of school and the convenience. There aren't any tables inside so it's really just a takeout spot. The people who work there are normally very friendly even when there's a large group of us. I have had multiple pastries but really enjoy the croissants.“

“Didn't try the donuts, but my friend and I stopped over for some coffee on our way to Trout Brook Park, and HOT DAMN - their iced coffees are Amazing *0* we ordered a hazelnut and a samoa iced coffee and they're so tasty and well balanced. The staff was super friendly to everyone. Really nice place!“

“Probably the best cinnamon roll I have ever had, it didn’t look like it would be amazing but boy was I wrong. It’s like a croissant dancing with a cinnamon roll, and then they end up eloping and making these wonderful little buns of joy.“

“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 ☕️“

“Five stars except for the barrier that they still have on the registers. You end up say "what?" back and forth with the people taking orders and ringing you up. Especially when it's busy. (It feels like they got so used to having it up they forgot to take it down?)The food is five star. I've been coming here with my daughter on Sunday mornings since before she could eat bagels! Now her favorite is blueberry with strawberry cream cheese.“

“Very satisfied coming here with my husband. The chicken is better than Popeyes and KFC. The ice cream is great and they give great Sized scoops. The workers are very tentative, kind, and fast.There's limited seating but it is so worth it!“
