Great place with authentic food. Got to try some of their menu items which every single one was made with care.The Cafe con Condensada is the absolute bomb! It was smooth, sweet and creamy. A huge hit with my hubby and I.Got their Queso y Chorizo empanada, Bocadito, build your own Tortilla.(Black beans, cheese and Picadillo)Also tried their Mofango which was good as well.Love all their pastries as well, will be coming back again for sure.Staff was super friendly and cool as well.

Food was good. Loved the music. Some construction going on with loud noise. Server would not serve glass of tap water but would sell bottled water. Waiter was courteous but we passed 3 employees as we were leaving and not one said a word to us.

I’ve been wanting to try Cafe Reyes for a while and am glad I finally did today! Rich perfect cold brew. The bocadito chorizo was wild. Delicious sausage, gooey cheese, and the most incredible bread.Staff were efficient and friendly during a busy brunch hour. The decor is bright and cheerful and everything was immaculate. Can’t wait to try more for lunch some time. Everything sounds wild.On top of everything, glad to support an incredible organization doing important work in our community. Thank you for all you do - and for a fabulous breakfast.

First time there. Great experience from the moment I stepped in, I felt welcome. They were very considerate. Food is great. I even had a guy helped me carry my food to my car because I walk with a cane and it was difficult for me to carry it. Definitely a place to go back over and over.

Love Cafe Reyes. This was our first time, but it will definitely not be our last. The service was top notch, and the food was outstanding. I got huevos con papas with bacon, and it was the best bacon ever. Ever.

Good vibe, loud energetic is this place on Saturday morning. Had the Cuban sandwich it was good, great people. If you looking for quite place, is not for you, but I like energetic vibe in the morning it makes me feel alive which is what I like but I know not everyone is like me. Overall is a good small a place in Worcester which I would suggest everyone visit to experiment something new. One more thing to add, I have been in many different restaurants and cafes on thing to add utensil are the cleanest I have seen for long time in cafe

Coffee was great, food was good, but we were charged for things we didn’t even order as well as charged for orders that were either completely different or not even received. My friend didn’t even get his food. Servers were friendly but it was so hard to order and fix the bill because of the language barrier.

Oh man coffee was great. I bought some pastries 1 pineapple and coconut tasted like a Valencia cake I get from NY. The other Guava and Cheese also so good. The people are so nice and FYI they were starting to cook for lunch and the aroma was calling me. Will be coming back for lunch with the family. Thanks so much for bringing me back to my childhood.

Awesome delicious food in an upbeat environment. I got the desayuno cubano, basically a Cuban sandwich with an omelette in it. The wife got a breakfast empanada with eggs and ham in it. My friend for the bocadito con chorizo. The food was really good but we all felt that it was a little dry. The chalula on the tab was needed. All the coffee drinks were on point from the cafe con leche to the cortado.

The museum itself is easily walkable in an afternoon and though the whole thing isnt HUGE it has a lot of various periods and really well curated and designed collections. We especially loved the huge center atrium with the paired wall mural and floor mosaic. I dont want to describe it and spoil it, its that good and that visually arresting.

Our first time. Food & service was excellent. Restaurant was spotless. They have very nice outdoor seating in the back, secluded and cozy. Open for breakfast and lunch only. Well definitely coming back to try the breakfast. I recommend the Cuban coffee with steamed milk and numbers 1&2 off the menu. Another hidden gem in Worcester.

Nice staff and great tres leches cake. I had the cubano and it wasn’t what I was used to, it lacked flavor. Also I had a to-go order and it took them about 30 minutes to get it to me.

Cafe Reyes has surpassed my expectations for sure. The food is unique in flavor with the highest quality you can taste in your mouth. The outstanding customer service is authentic, neighborly, and makes you want to become a regular. You wont want to eat brunch anywhere else in central mass once you come here.

Review №68

We were driving to CT from NH and needed to feed our kids lunch, so we stopped by Cafe Reyes. What a gem! Loved supporting a restaurant with a mission like theres. I love practicing my Spanish with our server and we all enjoyed an affordable and delicious meal. The rice and black beans are a generous portion. The yuca with garlic was amazing. We left full and happy. A little about the restaurant: Café Reyes opened its doors in January of 2015. It is the newest addition to Worcesters vibrant Shrewsbury Street dining district. Café Reyes offers a full breakfast and lunch menu as well as catering services with a Cuban flare. It serves as an on-site training center for residents and graduates of the Hector Reyes House.

I loved this place. Great food and coffee. Lovely space. My only critical thing was the salt on the potatoes. Now, I LOVE salt, but today, it seemed a bit much. Ill revise when I get back there sometime. Worth a try if your on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester MA.

Its a small and wonderful cafe set on a main Street with a cute window table, sitting there on rainy day with coffee was amazing. Loved everything there in food and the waiters were sweet gentleman that came asking a few times if everything was good. Service, ambience and food are A+ here

The tuna sandwich was delicious. The only thing to make it better would be melted cheese on top. The tuna was mixed perfectly.The plantain chips were not overly salted and the right crispiness.The chicken soup was very good. I love the flavor. It looked like it was spicy but it was not. The chicken was flavored well.The black bean soup was good but it was on the bland side for me. Everyone else raved about it but it just tasted like black bean to me.The veggie sandwich was good. In my opinion it had too many onions.The fried plantains were good.The restaurant was clean, and fresh looking. The staff was friendly.Biggest gripe is the that there is only on street parking, which makes it difficult at busy times to eat.

Food was really good, tasted authentic to me (not that I grew up on Cuban food). Also, remember that the employees are being rehabilitated and to cut them some slack. I loved the decor, made it really easy to forget that it was winter outside, at least for a little while.

Was a very engaging experience! The staff made us feel extremely welcome and the food was on point. From start to finish everything was absolutely perfect. Didnt expect it from such a small place but this cafe felt more like a restaurant designed specifically to spoil their customers! Overall, loved this place and I will definitely be coming back for another round. Keep up the great work guys!
