I ordered the breakfast poutine, which I genuinely didn't know I was missing in my life until I tried it. My boyfriend got the buratta chicken sandwich from the specials list, and he said it was a 10/10. The vibe of the restaurant is really fun and welcoming, too. They have a great cocktail menu with options like espresso martinis and Bloody Marys, which Ive gotta come back and try. Such a great little spot if you're in the Worcester area. We'll absolutely be stopping back!

Not the best crepe flavor but still decent. I got an iced caramel latte and that was probably the best coffee I've had at a local breakfast joint. It's the kind of place where you line up to order at the register then sit down & wait for your food. We came right at 11am on a Sunday and the place was unusually (according to a friend who goes often) packed. I applaud the 2 workers I saw who got the line down as fast as they could. The woman on the register was also making the coffees/teas and there was one man making all the crepes. One weird thing to note because as a mom, I always like to know: at least one of the bathrooms had a changing table which I appreciate so much. I think I'd definitely come again & just hope it's not busy. Might try a savory crepe next time!

We ordered catering for an event and could not be happier with the entire experience. Wilmer was professional, kind, and thorough in making decisions around the menu and quantities. The food arrived on time and was set up quickly. We had several of their sandwiches, the Reyes salad, pastelitos, and churros. I think it goes without saying that everything was delicious. From the service, to the food, the value, and the mission - we LOVE Cafe Reyes! read more

Pros: the food was amazing (the empanada and chorizo were the bomb)! Also, the drinks and ambiance were good too. Cons: the service was a bit slow and chaotic, but we have to keep in mind that it was one person doing the waiting, sitting, and serving. So, just keep in mind that you will be spending a chunk of time waiting and occasionally dealing with wrong orders. But the wait is actually worth it due to its amazing food! read more

We all enjoyed the food, but the service was a bit slow. We had to flag our waitress down to get additional water, and she never checked on us to see if we enjoyed the food. It was also unclear how we paid at the end because she never circled back to take our check so my friend went to the front to pay.
