I am new to downtown Worcester. The woman who took my order was so kind and pleasant, offering me some advice and direction for this area. My coffee and muffin were really good. Very nice inside too. I recommend! read more

On the outside it very cute and welcoming. There is lots of places to sit and study. Location: The location is prime. It not too far from the local colleges and is in the middle of Downtown Worcester. Menu: There is a large menu for coffee based drinks, smoothies, and sandwiches. Experience: I was tricked when I ordered an Iced Latte Macchiato. They charged me an extra 40 cents for ice. I've never been to a coffee shop that charges extra for ice. I didn't notice it till after I paid. I wish the barista would've told me " Is it okay for extra charge on ice?" I've been to many coffee shops in various states so I was quite surprised. My boyfriend tried to order the nitro cold brew and was told "oh it's not working but its what we are known for." I was like huh how can you be known for it if it's not available. Quality of Drink: Since the nitro cold brew was unavailable my boyfriend ordered and iced coffee. He said it was okay but nothing outstanding and tasted burnt. The Iced Latte Macchiato was wayyyy too strong and didn't have much flavor. I would recommend you trying another coffee shop or Starbucks if you're needing a coffee kick. read more

Twice now i've ordered a smoothie, orange booster and they failed to add all the ingredients and when I asked, the were not truthful, I'm standing right there watching too. For 9 dollars, I expect all ingredients and the truth. Very disappointed. read more

Updating a review here. I've visited this cafe over 5 years ago around the time they recently opened and recently started again with my morning coffee run. I'm glad this place opens early--I tried visiting some other places around town and they just don't cut it. I'm a nitro cold brew fanatic and this place hits the spot. They have Toastlabs loyalty offering for those who are loyal. Great brew. And thanks for the early AM openings. Cheers read more

Brew on the Grid - Great Nitro Cold Brew for the Sunday AM - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Barista took my order and didn't really look me in the face or had a basic conversation with me. Kept looking everywhere else but me or the register. It made for an awkward ordering experience. Especially since it was first time at brew and I had questions about their menu, but I decided to skip asking them. The coffee I was ordered was good. I liked the variety of quick foods and snacks they offered. Prices felt reasonable. Good space to study alone or in a small study group. read more

This place is good. It's kinda comfortable died a little outdated in the decorations. This staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Very disappointing. Order (pick-up): Latte Macchiato w/caramel and half n half. Sausage, egg, cheese on Everything bagel 1. Zero customer service. Yes, I was picking up my order but usually, when a barista is standing right near the counter where you pick up your food, they say hello. None of the 3 young ladies there acknowledged my existence, let alone said "hello" and there were no other customers. What is the point of tipping? 2. "Bagels order from New York every day" I call BS. Total false advertisinf. I lived in NYC and what I received was a Thomas's Bagel at BEST. It wasn't even toasted/warmed. 3. Sausage patty was cold in the middle, eggs were not warm at all...not cold because my order was waiting for me for a few extra minutes but cold because they werent warmed up long enough. 4. $.50 for ICE in an ICED latte??!! Seriously?? If I have to pay for ice, I should get my own separate cup of ice. Instead, I received like 6 small cubes. 5. Medium size seemed very small. How many ounces? Maybe 12. I try not to patronize the chain shops but this place, especially with their prices, has to do better. read more

Good quality coffee food was good as well. If you're a coffee lover def recommend here over Starbucks in the morning.

i absolutely love this place! it's so cute and the vibe is great - the perfect place to get work done and be productive! the baristas are super sweet and the coffee is so so good :) i definitely recommend the lavender dream latte (i'm obsessed) so excited to have found this place and will definitely keep coming back read more

Brew has a wonderfully welcoming interior, and the chess game board for customers is a nice touch. I loved the bread options for breakfast sandwiches (English muffin, croissant, Hawaiian roll, and Wonder Bread I'm sure). The coffee latte had multiple options beyond cows milk (oat, almond, soy, and milk extracted from Wonder Bread I'm sure). I was a bit bummed that I believe they neglected to put the caramel in my latte as I certainly didn't taste it, but that's my only real complaint. The friendly service was a plus, and she kept a smile despite the fact that inexplicably she was working alone and managing a line of customers. A Herculean effort for sure, but management needs to get her some help! read more

Ordered avocado toast to-go today. Bread was not toasted so the whole thing was mush. Disappointed

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. read more

Adding this to my Worcester daily routine list when I am visiting. Really good service. Plenty of space to park, work, and relax. Music was perfect style and volume for a coffee shop. Coffee was good. Banana peanut butter smoothie was the clincher for me. read more

Very nice coffee shop in downtown Worcester with some smaller tables and a few larger "community" tables. They have a full range of hot and cold coffees, plus a smaller selection of pastries. I chose a double espresso which was very strong and very rich. No grounds in the bottom. It was great. Bagel was good. Toasted with a small pot of cream cheese. Nothing special, but I wasn't ordering anything special. It was a bagel. I didn't check to see if they have a wifi here but I did see power outlets and certainly they didn't mind us hanging out here for a little while. A good spot for getting work done. read more

The coffee is delicious. I wasn't too crazy about the egg sandwich, but will go back for the lattes.

Perfect place to grab a bite and get some work done. I can't believe how productive I actually was and I think a lot of it came from the chill atmosphere. There is a good amount of seating (tables, stools, armchairs) with electrical outlets nearby and windows all around, perfect for people-watching. Wifi is free, coffee was strong, and food was delicious, so there's really not much else to ask for. I had the Turkey & Smoked Cheddar sandwhich which the barista kindly recommended, and it was delcious. Yes, it looks like a burger but that is only a positive in my book. read more

My bf and I decided that we wanted to look to see if there were any coffee shops in the Worcester area that are new, surprisingly Brew On The Grid made it on that list! He enjoyed a cappucino (he said it was the best cappucino he's ever had!) Kudos to the barista for being awesome. I enjoyed a decaf iced coffee with vanilla (also really good with half & half!) The cinnamon scone was AMAZING! It was so moist and NOT dried out like everywhere else. However, we did look at the online menu and saw that they had a bunch of pastries listed, but were not present/available when we went. It would be nice if they updated the menus online, so future customers are aware! Will definitely come back again!! read more

I have no idea how I just recently discovered this place, super cute place with a science looking interior. I assume the theme was picked since it's located right next to MCPHS, school of science majors to attract those students as well as those office workers nearby! I essentially just got a black nitro brew coffee, nothing out of the ordinary but definitely kept me up all night for my overnight! Honestly coffee isn't disappointing and a quiet work environment at best, I'd be willing to come here to study if I could just for the attractive atmosphere and coffee. read more

A great cafe not just to have coffee but also snack on. Worcester downtown needs more places like these. Won't complain about the coffee however it can be better. The kids working here are awesome folks and always with a smile on. Great place to work as well if you are looking to work outside as the internet is pretty good. Well, staying in the neighbourhood is definitely better with these kind of establishments. read more

If you are looking for a homey unique delish breakfast experience this place is not it. The bacon egg and cheese everything bagel sandwich was very reminiscent of Dunkin' Donuts. Pre made circular egg patties, thin fatty bacon strips, and a microwaved bagel, not toasted are what you can expect. The chocolate croissant was stale, tough and inedible, similar to what you'd expect at an airport vendor and had to be thrown out. read more

This very nice independent cafe is right near City Hall in Worcester, and servers a variety of fresh foods as well as good strong coffee. I particularly enjoyed the pastry depicted with this review, which is a sort of donut/cannoli hybrid that was prepared on the spot. read more

I've been coming here for nearly 2 years! The coffee has gotten better, the service has always been 5 and there's always a friendly conversation about to happen. I work from home so it's nice to have been able to find somewhere to go downtown and get coffee when I need (or want) it. The flavors are always great! Cassidy is always doodling fun art on the coffee containers and chalkboards to liven the place up. It's like Cheers. Because everyone really does know your name. read more

I come here pretty often because I live super close and usually always get the coffee of the day! They have really good flavors that change. 99% of the time I get my coffee it's good. But I have received burnt coffee in the past. But most of the time I'm in a rush so I can't run back to let them know. Staff is super friendly (: read more

Great coffee shop with plenty of seating! The food is DELICIOUS (we had a frittata, blueberry muffin, then a hummus wrap and a turkey and cheddar sandwich for lunch) and it was so tasty! Definitely way better than I was expecting from a coffee shop. The coffee is also super tasty! Nitro and hot coffee are both super good. WiFi is a little slow for big files, but this was a perfect spot to get some work done. Thank you brew!!!! read more

We just moved to the area and our new morning routine consists of walking down the street to get iced lattes and breakfast sandwiches at Brew. We love that they use such fresh ingredients, have non-dairy options for their coffee, and put out water bowls for dogs, as our puppy loves a drink of her own after the walk. Recommendations: London Fog latte with oat milk, ice latte with oat milk and sugar-free hazelnut, egg & cheese (add avocado) on croissant read more

I wish this place were here when I was still living here. The coffee is well brewed, smooth and flavorful. Then menu has a decent selection. The inside has table where you can sit and relax or get some studying done if you're a student. I probable would have been a regular here if I were still around. read more

My friend and I were in the area and I was severely under caffeinated and pulled a nap and found this little gem. Located in a cute little up and coming town(from my assumption) is this cute modern coffee shop! They have everything that you would expect, plus food. I got the cold brew and it was delicious! Looks like they own the beer garden that's next door too and that also has a super cute atmosphere. I loved the sign to help you figure out what you want! The barista was very friendly and answered all our questions and made great recommendations. read more

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. read more

Loving the new decor and menu here! A real upgrade and they even had a vegan pastry today!

The coffee was good! Nothing special though. I got cold brew and it wasn't the best cold brew I ever had, it didn't taste very strong. I got the sausage breakfast sandwich and they didn't have an English muffin so I got it on an everything bagel. It was pretty good! read more

Great service, clean and dog friendly(my fav)! The breakfast sandwiches are delicious, the pressed juices are delicious and the coffee is strong. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because they used to make the sandwiches when you ordered them, and they were on fresh toasted baguettes. Now they pre-make them and Saran-wrap them so they get soggy and just not good anymore. I wish they'd bring back the old sandwiches! Make sure to get a peanut butter cookie! read more

Food and drink came out fast. Cappuccino was okay. Spicy avocado toast wasn't great, avocado mix seemed watery and just Siracha on top. Could have made it better at home. read more

This is a really nice place with some real potential. The staff needs a bit more training (or at least the girl who took my order did). I walked up to the counter and the two people working kept working, no one acknowledged me so I decided to take a few minutes to look over the menu. Finally the younger of the two took her place at the register which I guess was a signal it was time to do this, so I ordered a bagel with ham and egg and a hot coffee. She asked me if it was for here or to go and when I told her I was staying there I assumed she'd put it in a mug, but instead she reached for a paper cup-- I asked her for a mug instead (which were sitting right next to the paper cups) and she regarded me for a few minutes like I asked if I could just get the coffee poured into my hands instead. "You want a mug??" "Yes, please." "Okay...." Was there something I wasn't in on? Were these joke mugs that leak all over you? I prefer to drink out of a mug because I think it tastes better. Anyway, as she put my coffee on the counter the other woman put my bagel sandwich up beside it-- super fast service. The sandwich was really good- a solid almost New York style bagel and it was perfectly toasted (the whole place smelled like great toast) but she had put that awful looking orange cheese on it. I was about to sit down for a meeting, I hate orange cheese but what the hell I could solve this first world problem simply by taking it off only I couldn't-- so I just lived with it and it was fine. The coffee and the bagel were so hot I let them sit for a few minutes while my companions got settled and we discussed our planned takeover of the free world in a pretty nice atmosphere that was sunny and bright and very quiet. Overall a good place but one star off because they got my simple order wrong and another because you have to greet your customer. read more

Great local coffee shop! Nice spot to relax in, bring a book or your iPad/laptop to work. Nitro cold brew is INCREDIBLE. Good selection of snacks/light food as well. Staff is super friendly! Parking can be tough, mostly street parking to be found. read more

What a little gem! As with all things in downtown, I hope this lasts. Located on the heart of the City's revitalization of downtown, by targeting college students, this is a great, laid back atmosphere. Modern decor, big windows with views of the common and City Hall. All the plugs have USB chargers. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Nothing but good things to say about the two guys who took our order. My sister really liked the Turkey BLT, while I just had a scone and coffee. The coffee was really good. Great space to get some work done too. Again, I'll recommend highly, I just hope it lasts. read more
