Crust Bakeshop (Gold Star Blvd) is a true gem for anyone looking to satisfy their breakfast cravings. They’ve got all the essentials—freshly brewed coffee, refreshing teas, and a full spread of breakfast favorites. Their bacon, egg, and cheese croissant is a must-try: buttery, flaky, and packed with flavor. I paired mine with a green iced tea infused with strawberry and vanilla—light, fruity, and the perfect complement. And whatever you do, don’t leave without grabbing their monkey bread. It’s sticky, sweet, and totally unforgettable!

Overall really solid! I had my first breakfast sandwich and iced matcha latte from here today and was pleased!
The matcha latte fell a bit flat, it was something I could make at home with matcha powder from Amazon. But, it wasn’t horrible so I can’t complain too much! I’d probably give it a 6/10.
The breakfast sandwich was a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant and it was probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Super, super hot and greasy (in a good way but definitely not the healthiest), but it was so good. 10/10.
The workers were so sweet, the service was quick and easy, the interior was stunning. Total for the sandwich and the latte was about $18. Overall 4/5 :) Will be back!

Both times i’ve been here the staff has been lowkey so rude, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong? Maybe it’s my face or something I feel like they’re so offended that I want to buy something from them? The girl who made my drink was pretty nice but the one who took my order was sooo done with me (am I that bad)??? can someone confirm how to order here without feeling like you just ruined someone’s day, like i just wanted to try a new drink and get a croissant. let me back there I can do it myself i’m sorry for bothering you 🥲🥲

Crust has two locations in Worcester. Their Main Street location is significantly better in terms of a place to sit down and enjoy oneself. This review is about their other location (inside an office building). Crust products are generally excellent across both stores; but this location favors take-away rather than a place to hang out. I like their croissants (all variations) and sandwiches are tasty. Coffee is just ok, and you can do significantly better in Worcester at some of the new generation coffee shops. Ample parking and accessible.

If the coffee was better, this would be a 5 star review.
Crust has fantastic pastries and bread. I absolutely love their almond croissants and they taste like they're made with butter, not oils. They even think about their customers as I was asked if the almond and regular croissant could go in the same bag. That extra attention to detail was appreciated.
Their coffee is subpar. I can get better coffee at Starbucks for a similar price. All I bought was a vanilla latte, but I couldn't taste any vanilla and the coffee was super weak.
I will be buying pastries and bread again, but I'll either go to Starbucks or make my own coffee.

Love it here, best coffee shop in town. I haven’t had something here that I didn’t love. Also love the location, this area lacks coffee that isn’t Starbucks and Dunkin. Staff are always wonderful and helpful.
The coconut cold brew latte is SO GOOD. Every single treat they have there is delightful, too. From the avocado toast to the chocolate chip cookies, everything is worth trying!

The staff at the North Main Street do not even offer to help when you walk in, and look annoyed when you ask for help. The West Boylston Street site is always dirty. The counters and tables are always dingy, sticky, and stained with coffee. A rag and a spray bottle of water and vinegar with a wipe down would help, but the place looks like it hasn't been scrubbed down in months. The coffee is a great price but ranges from hot and robust to warm and weak, depending on the day and time of day. The pastries and cookies sometimes are buttery and yummy, but sometimes are dry and bland. The sandwiches range from well-constucted and fresh, to greasy and sloppy. Alexis and Nate should make frequent surprise visits to each of their shops on at least a weekly basis to ensure quality, cleanliness, and consistency.

I have no idea what this place is like. Google keeps asking me to review the place even though I've walked past it like three times.

Yeah, the building looks nice I guess.
