    Meatballs and sausage combo.
    Rene L.

    After having read several reviews about this establishment my wife and I decided to go there for lunch today. Delicious sandwiches that we each brought home half. The bread, everything was delicious. Great service that you can see makes you feel welcome. The café has ten tables and was perfect to tuck into our lunch!

    Amazing cannoli's the scent inside was so amazing I have to come back for a sandwich!

    Meatball sub on fresh bakes roll amazing

    Sandwiches are so good. Amazing pastries as well. This is our second time stopping in and will continue each visit.

    Italian

    Eggplant Parm sub is awful. Just a mess of a sandwich with soggy eggplant parm broken up on bread. Italian sub was okay- not the best not the worst. Bread on both sandwiches was delicious. Also got some cookies but noticed that quite a few pastries/cookies looked like store bought and unpacked onto a tray to look home made. The rainbow cookies are absolutely just unpackaged from the cake bites brand :(

    We made our way here after hearing a lot of chatter online with plenty of people recommending this bakery. I never knew it was here, but my husband had seen it plenty of times but never stopped. We stopped in on an early Sunday afternoon looking to try their grinders (subs, hoagies etc for those not from these parts). I stayed with a traditional Italian and my husband ordered the Bomba panini (it's really not a panini, because it wasn't flat at all, but they told us that when we ordered). They told us we could have a seat in the cafe and they would bring it out to us when our sandwiches were ready. We wondered over to the cafe which is a short walk with shelves of all sorts of imported cooking staples to buy. The cafe has about 10 tables or so and they also have a coffee bar in there where you order coffees and such. They brought our sandwiches out and they were huge. My Italian was delicious and my husband said his Bomba was one of the best sandwiches he ever had (yay! I found another good place!). After we were done (I was stuffed) my husband got a piece of tiramisu and loved it, I also grabbed a bite and I had to agree it was great. We would have grabbed more baked goods to go, but it was extremely hot out and we weren't planning on going home for awhile (next time we'll bring a cooler!). Our 2 grinders, a bottle of water and the tiramisu came to $28. and change. We are definitely adding this to our list of great places to grab a quick bite!!

    Very neat little market and bakery, awesome subs / grinders with freshly baked rolls and premium meats. Cozy interior that smells like Italian cookies. Staff was great!

    Tiramisu

    5/5 every single time! Sandwiches are huge and meats are fresh. Very high quality ingredients are used. Bread is also made in house. Desserts are highly underrated but so much better than the other Italian bakeries in Worcester. A must try!!

    That's don't impress me much!…read more That's the feeling I have. Queens Cup has been on my list for about 3 years. I admit, I am weak for frosting so I figured this had to be a win for me. Good location, tough parking if you can't get in their small lot and good luck scoring a table (i think there were only 2!) But that's not the reason for disappointment. It's the product. Magic cookie bars are one of my favorite sweet treats so I had to buy one (at a high cost of $7!) It's heavy and dense but the flavor... the crust was inconsistent. Too thick and too think at points. The taste... it tastes like an M&M (with a slight hint of coconut.) I could have saved myself a lot of money just buying a bag of M&M's. But I don't like M&M's! See the problem? (And there were small M&M's on the top which is ok but it was overpowering.) I also had to try something cupcake related right? My daughter got a huge slice of funfetti cake. I had one layer of the cake. I can share the frosting was thick and dense. I like it sweet and melts in my mouth. Thus was not that. The cake itself was dense too. I was my cake fluffy. Overall I was let down and Queens Cup is off the return list.

    Very cute place with vegan friendly options! Staff are always kind and informative. I've had 3 of…read moretheir vegan cupcake flavors and they were extremely rich and yummy. Will return seeing there aren't many vegan dessert options at most bakeries I've visited.

    Inviting space with a long showcase of treats in several categories, plenty of roomy tables, and a…read morelarge communal table. -- Muffins: I consider their blueberry muffin one of my favorites in Massachusetts, if not my #1. It's got just the right mix of bounce, density, and butteriness, without being too greasy. Big, fresh blueberries (not the shriveled kind). Plenty of crumbly streusel on top for extra taste and texture. Their mixed berry has multiple fruit presence and more of it, minus the streusel. Also very good. Sometimes the muffins are warm. Sometimes a little long in the tooth. -- Cakes: That's their claim to fame, and for good reason. They're more expensive than most, but so dense, rich, and heavy that a small slice goes a long way. My favorite is the chocolate raspberry decadence (pool of raspberry atop a deep, dark chocolate frosting). Or maybe the strawberry snowflake, which is like the best strawberry shortcake you ever had. -- Cupcakes: These often feature some of the same ingredients as the cakes, such as that killer chocolate ganache. Great for the toppings and fillings, though the cake part (especially if chocolate base) is often dry. -- Cookies: Noticeably less impressive, EXCEPT for the Linzer heart. Great flavor and texture in the raspberry and shortbread. -- Coffee: Good stuff. Not elite, but good, in heavy mugs with good feel. Service is a little lacking. Not so much because of rudeness, but because they're perpetually understaffed for the amount of business they do.
