Pleasant experience at Playa Bowls Worcester. I ordered the Power Açaí Bowl, and it was incredibly…read morerefreshing and delicious. The standout for me in the bowl was not only the fresh fruit but also the granola--it was very tasty and something about the texture that hit different from other açaí bowls I've tried. The staff were super friendly and patient during my visit as I tried to decide what I wanted to order--since they have so much different offerings. From açaí bowls, smoothies, mango bowls to name a few. On the downside, parking can be a bit of a hassle if you want to enjoy your bowl inside. However, I managed to find parking in the back of the building, which worked out fine. DONT PARK AT BURGER KING NEARBY--they do tow. Overall, I highly recommend Playa Bowls for anyone looking for a tasty treat.

Loved stopping by this shop to get my coffee fix. I definitely wasn't looking forward to hotel…read morecoffee or another Starbucks run, so I was excited to find this spot in Worcester, even on a busy day. Having a private parking lot made it an easy and convenient stop. The drinks were excellent and not overly sweet, just the perfect balance. We ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the Mia with calamansi lime, and both were fantastic. I'd happily order the same drinks again before trying anything else on the menu. The Vietnamese coffee uses the traditional Robusta beans, while the Nuoc Mia was super refreshing with just the right amount of calamansi citrus. Pro Tips: - Private parking lot located behind the shop. - Authentic Vietnamese coffee brewed using the traditional slow drip method. - Casual, welcoming atmosphere with a handful of tables, making it a great spot to get some work done.

10/10 smash! We tried the Ube Dream Cloud Smoothie and Tropical Sunset Cloud Smoothie. Both were…read moreabsolutely delicious! Ube Dream is Ube and Coconut based and Tropical Sunset is Mango, Strawberry and Coconut based. I love Ube but not a fav of coconut so I was a little skeptical BUT it ended up being my favorite. They squeeze fresh Cane juice right in front of you which made the whole experience really cool. The service was quick, plenty of space for seating and there is parking in the back!!

OK, I don't know what came over us, but we finally took the plunge and ordered from Salgabom…read moresnacks. It's a magical place with an atypical menu that combines fried cheese empanadas with smoothies and açaí bowls. It checked most of the boxes of my desires. Yes, you read that correctly, they have fried empanadas. They have vegetarian options of cheese and pizza, stuff with meat that didn't register with me, and banana caramel if you're in a sweet mood. We ordered the cheese but I will will admit that I was interested in the pizza one. I was really craving something fruity and refreshing so I ordered an açaí bowl with açaí sorbet covered in granola, banana slices, and honey. They come in small, normal, and super big. Tina ordered a dragonfruit which is the same exact thing as the standard one but with dragonfruit sorbet in addition. So gooooooodddddd. UPDATE: I found out just now, prior to my second order, you can choose TOPPINGS. They have a bunch of fruit options (cherries, strawberries, kiwi, GRAPES), chocolate, pb, choco chips!!!!!, chocolate "ball", chocolate SAUCE, m&ms, etc. One of the most popular items is something called mini snacks. I had no idea what that could possibly be but I'm intrigued by anything that's particularly popular on the menu. It comes in increments of 15, 25, 50, 100. This Even more mysterious now. What on Earth? What would someone want to buy 50 or even 100 of? We ordered 25 of them. The food came very quickly. The empanada was massive. Like it was double the size of my head. I got my hands on that sucker and I pulled it apart, revealing a nice string of cheese between the two sides. The açaí bowl was GREAT. The mini snacks. First impressions reveal churros in munchkin form. It's crisp on the inside and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. I bit into it. A warm filling was propelled into my mouth. Caramel. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW. holy shit. There are no more words. Now I understand who orders the 100 and it's me. I am at so glad for the existence of this place

Very nice authentic Brazilian restaurant takeout we met the owners 2 elderly Brazilian natives who…read morehave been in the business for awhile. They were extremely friendly and helpful we ordered almost 300 of the mini snacks which they were able to give to us before they opened for a baby shower. Food was awesome for the price it's reasonable considering it's made in house mini snacks were very good and flavorful burgers there are awesome huge come with fries and a drink which compared to similar restaurants increases the value a lot. We'll be regulars there now

I haven't had a bad experience here…read more The smoothies are delicious - pomegranate punch is my go-to. The only bummer is that there's only a certain options for the kids sizes and my kid doesn't like any of them. So then she either needs to share our smoothie or get a big one herself that she won't finish. The pesto chicken flatbread has good flavor but has really greasy drippy pesto that soaks through the flatbread and kinda gets everywhere. Recently had an açaí bowl and loved how easy it was to customize. They were the perfect size and tasted great - Nutella one was awesome.

I ordered the chicken pesto flatbread and it was yummy. It was super easy to order from the table & our food was brought out to us. It was the best for the group of us getting food since we could all order separately without having to split payment. Speaking of payment, when ordering online, they take Apple Pay so you didn't even need to take out a card! There's lot of seating and free cold water. Would definitely come again.

There's a variety of food -- açaí bowls, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, pastries. We had breakfast sandwiches. They were less expensive than the hotel breakfast. They were ok, but they are sort of put together from pre-made ingredients. Not the best coffee and breakfast spot in all of Worcester, but serviceable.

The espresso was strong, bitter (which I like) and gave me the jolt I needed for the day. I tasted my wife's matcha latte and it was good, but nothing spectacular. It had an earthy flavor and mildly sweet. I also bought a bag of coffee beans. I brought the bag back home ground it and made a pot of coffee via a chemex. I wasn't impressed with the coffee at all. It might be because I usually drink coffee that has a lot of character to it. It could be sweet, chocolatey, citrus, etc. This coffee just tasted bland and I am pretty good at differentiating the flavors because I normally drink just black. This cafe is very spacious and would be a great place to work from. I would definitely work here remotely if it was closer to home. The staff seemed nice, but I wouldn't say they were particularly friendly or personable. I'd come back from espresso, but that's it! -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

The restaurant is incapable of communicating with you; they just don't care they send whatever.
