the only local coffee business owner that had a successful business is George Howell he is wealthy business owner. I remember when this place was new reading online the owner was a manager of starbucks he compared his ideas to the big coffee company a statewide expansion that fell through. it goes from having a steady business to little customer count. in Hudson there was Arriba coffee looked exactly like a starbucks from busy to a dead house. best coffee shops have more expensive coffee line and scratch made food or local made such as pastries and baked snacks. I am aware of ownership change over with birch tree bread. her stuff is cheap a cut corners not from scratch. a point made. some owners will eventually close at some point.

I decided not to have coffee and breakfast in my hotel because the coffee shop was across the street. I need my coffee to set my vibe as it starts my day but what a mistake this one. First up the staff look miserable to a level that that I felt uncomfortable so I knew what was coming next. I ordered the sausage egg breakfast bagel but I asked for the New York bagel because on their advertisement board it states New York bagel $1.50 extra. He asked me what was the New York bagel and he says do you mean just a normal bagel? I’m like well I guess so. I asked for two large Americanos with cream. The girl who gave me the Americano filled it up to the top so I said I need to put cream in but she still filled. Then there was no cream at the normal customer service station so I asked her to put cream in and she says I may not be able to fit cream in. Anybody else would’ve emptied some out and put cream in but no she attempted to fill it to the neck with cream. Which means carrying the coffee to my hotel covered my hands and my coat on scalding hot coffee and also the coffee spilled into the bagel below so I cannot review the bagel because it was soaked in coffee. I wish I could review the coffee, but there was not enough cream in it and having no cream available to fill it myself. I will not let this destroy my day, but I hope this review prevent it from destroying other peoples day.

Great atmosphere and friendly service. The 2 breakfast sandwiches we ordered were ice cold in the middle. I don't know how you can mess that up when the place was basically empty. Dissipointed that they don't make their food fresh, this makes it no better than Dunkin.

Friendly staff, but the only vegan food available is fruit. We went over to "Not Ya Mamas" and the owner there said that Brew had vegan sandwiches before COVID, but not since.

Great place with plenty of natural light. Reasonable prices and nice seating, near Worcester common so there's plenty to do around here.Parking: Relatively cheap street parking, very safe :)

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.

The baristas here are terrible and after my last experience I will never return. My final straw was today.....I ordered a simple drip coffee. The woman in line BEHIND ME ordered a latte. The barista made her latte before pouring my drip coffee. This is not the first time but definitely was the last.

The barista here is terrible and today was my last straw. I ordered a simple drip coffee and the woman in line BEHIND ME ordered a fancy latte. Instead of pouring my coffee, this barista made the latte for the woman in line BEHIND ME. This is NOT the first time that's happened but it's definitely the last. I still have a gift card balance too but the service here is just so terrible that I'll forfeit the balance.
Really like this place. Service is always good and drinks are delicious. Their iced tea is really good. Also big fan of the hot

I wasn’t eating that’s why I can’t judge on food, but I can and must about coffee. I am from Europe and I feel sorry that it’s almost impossible to find the medium and light roasted coffee with the beans not being burned like at Starbucks. Going to such cafeteria as Brew on the Grid you expect the more intense care about beans being roasted the good way.So the medium roast I ordered was not even tasting bitter, it was smelling bitter that much, I poured the coffee away….better to order beans of fresh and small butches and attract people who really likes coffee, who would appreciate the taste and will comeback being loyal.Sorry, just being honest.

Got a couple of coffees while killing time. It was a good place to lay back and not be bothered. I did not like that you had to get a key from the front counter to use the bathroom. Is this really a problem worthy of making their customers do this? I dunno.

Really good chai, solid (not skimpy at all) bacon egg and cheese, and very reasonable prices! Plus free wifi, super comfy seating, and a very extensive menu of other things too. I'm only passing through Worcester for a few hours and I was glad to find somewhere local but now I wish I could come here more often.

Great coffee and location and atmosphere but for months now they have been having issues with basic things - like being out of whole milk for days... Can't make most coffees without it. This has been my go to place for years, but I'm looking for alternatives now :-(
