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.

I really love finding hidden gems like Acoustic Java. I am a sucker for a good book store, AND a…read moregood coffee shop, and Acoustic Java is both! I stopped by to get a couple of coffees to go, and a pastry. The staff was very patient and pleasant to chat with - something I really miss with the larger coffee chains. The coffees were made exactly as I requested, and the pastry was warmed up and wrapped in a foil to maintain the heat. I really love the attention to detail. I'll note that I noticed they use Monin brand syrups (my favorite!). They are not the cheapest option, so it goes to show that the folks at Acoustic Java care about quality over maximizing profit. The location is great - a bit hidden, but the industrial vibe just fits for a small roasting company. I love that the roastery is visible through the glass panels. The packaged beans are all laid out for you to easily read the labels and shop. I love that they carry quality tea for non-coffee drinkers/tea lovers. The merch is also cute, I was very tempted to add yet another coffee shop tote bag to my hoard. They carry a huge variety of used and new books - and they offer the most unique pricing I've ever seen. You can look up the cost of the book online - so long as the condition is roughly the same, that's how much they will charge you for the book (+ tax)! That's amazing, and I don't know how they can possibly even make money with this policy, but with the giant chain and online retailers, it's really the best incentive to get folks to support local. I think one of the biggest highlights here, on top of the great coffee, ambiance, and service, is that they offer various tastings, classes, and live music events. Personally, I feel like this is key in building a community, and I love that they do this. You can look up the different events on their website, some of which are free to attend. I can definitely see this as a place to come read a book over some tea, catch up with a friend over coffee, or take a date to a barista class for a unique experience.

I owe an updated review here. My past review had been negative but I welcomed to give Acoustic Java…read moreanother chance and I'm glad I did. Their coffee remains consistent and they brew the best bean in town. Truly a hidden gem...literally. They're hidden in the back of Rotmans (old furniture store) and you'll never see it from the main road. I drink coffee on a regular basis and could probably consider myself an amateur coffee snob lol. Lately I have made a purchase for teas and my wife didn't like the selections I've chose so they were welcoming and honored an exchange. I just had to pay the difference which I was glad to. We had good company with us and so there's also ample seating in the next room--you can enter from the front of the building as you enter through the main entrance or go through the back. Cheers

I've been wanting to try the coffee shop that's in the Worcester Ice Center. I've always thought…read morethat this was a very good location for a coffee shop. I was hoping for some speciality lattes, but they didn't have much. I was also looking for more of a variety of cold foams, which they also didn't have. I ended up getting a cookie butter iced latte with their homemade vanilla cold foam. It was pretty decent. I wish there was more cookie butter flavoring, it wasn't anything special. I paid $8.50 for my coffee, which seems like a lot, but I felt like this is a typical price for a fun coffee. I am glad I finally got the try this place.

I found it on my yelp app and they have the most amazing stuff. We ordered a bacon egg and cheese cheddar cheese on a bagel bagels are so soft and so fresh And then we got a hot coffee and I got a freshly made pineapple green tea iced tea, which is absolutely so refreshing and so delicious and they make the pineapple right here which is good. The girl was very kind. She told me just don't rush. I did that and ended up Getting exactly what I was coming for.I had just come from the one of the closing days of Queen's Cupcakes over on Water Street very sad day here in Worcester. Let me tell you. I had to wait in line like 35 minutes after the driving an hour to get my cupcakes but they didn't have what I wanted. I just ended up getting one of each anyway so I can put them in the freezer for later. It's nice and quiet here. You can probably fit about 35. Maybe you have a 35 people in here and it's very quiet two girls here 1 doing the cooking and 1 doing the counter to get your order and stuff correctly they have lots of good smoothies, different types of coffees, I açaí bowls, and then some sandwiches and stuff is definitely worth it if you can come and find it it's definitely worth coming . We'll be coming back to try a different sandwich and beverage another day. This is definitely worth a trip, but it's even more worth it if you're actually in the area.

They have boba,…read moreice cream, waffle, and actual food like fries, pho, mozerella sticks and etc. The ice cream with waffle is the best desert I ever had! I can tell that the waffle is made to order because it was so soft and warm and fluffy! Perfect combo with the ice ream! The people working there were also very nice and friendly, it seems like only a few people work there. They are hiring! The place is situated inside worcester public market and its in the corner ish so the ambiance was a alright. I mean this is a food court type deal, it isn't near the tables so you do have to carry your food for a little bit.

We got a few recommendations, ice and sugar adjustments, and a bespoke drink (mango and lychee which wasn't on the menu) -- super accomodating! **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Small storefront but located in Worcester Public Market which is really clean and well maintained. **Price & portion, 5/5** Large cup sizes (I'd estimate about 24 oz) and will do less/no ice! **Taste of the food, 4.5/5** - Dragon fruit milk tea, 5/5: Subtle dragon fruit flavor and super creamy! I was really impressed because I haven't seen a dragon fruit milk tea on any other menu, and they were able to capture the dragon fruit flavor even when dragon fruit itself hardly had any flavor usually. - Custom mango lychee tea with lychee jelly, 4/5: I got this 75% sweet and it was perfect. There was also a real mango piece and lychee inside! Great touch. The tea left a slightly weird aftertaste though, so I couldn't tell if the green tea was brewed too strongly to make it bitter or if maybe the coconut jelly they used had a chemical aftertaste.

Food: I've always order their poke bowls and it's been pretty solid, super filling, which this…read moretime, it was to the brim. Loads of different options and topping to customize your bowl. Sometimes, it can be inconsistent depending on who was packing up the order but I still enjoy it nonetheless. I do like their span misubi, its not too saly but I think the spam is like a little thin for the portion of rice. I have tried thier other appetizers like the gyoza, tsunami fries which are good when they're freshly made but perhaps a little dry at other times. Milk teas are okay, I think it's because it's powder flavor tea, its not my favorite. Service: Staff is friendly and quick on getting your order together. Ambiance: It's a much smaller place with perhaps 6 seatings? It's cute inside but I wouldn't hang out for too long. It's more like you go inside, grab your food and head out kind of place Location accommodation: Very limited parking on the street side, and it's in front of a interesting intersection.

Plenty of options for toppings, drinks, proteins, etc. If you're in the area and want some poke absolutely stop here. They don't have a lot of seating though, so if you have more than 4 people in your party takeout might be the better option.
