Barbara Burke

My favorite place in Worcester! Sweet and savory crêpes (including GLUTEN FREE). Great coffee, macrons and the owners - super friendly!

Chris Maertz

Loved it! Great gluten free options.

This small business restaurant is such a gem! Came in with a vegan diet and gluten allergy and they had options! If you're on a keto diet, they also have options for you too! Very allergy friendly and the food was DELICIOUS!!! 10/10 highly recommend! We will be back!

Root and Press never disappoints. All their food is so delicious! I was ordering with my best friend who has Celiac’s and she swears by Root and Press because she’s always successful in finding something delicious! I like the new location a lot, how they separated the book room from the dining room. I feel like there’s much more room to peruse. I had the sun dried tomato pesto pasta and the portion was awesome and it was hot and delicious. Recommended highly if you want a cute little spot for a delicious meal and a book to read.

Hailey Kasper

Our wedding cake and assorted desserts were such a big hit. They offer an assortment of gluten free and vegan options, which guests also raved about. Everything was delicious, highly recommend.

Bridget Philbin

BCB made my gluten free wedding cake, a simple 8” one tier cake and a few gluten free cupcakes to supplement our gluten-full cupcake tower. The cake and cupcakes were lovely and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately the wedding industry hikes prices like crazy, and the order cost us over $500.

Micah Webster

Amazingly tasty, wholesome food and atmosphere! Great vegan and gluten free options, too.

Kathy Musiak

We ordered a cake for my son's birthday because we had 3 people with allergies come over: egg, gluten, milk, nuts, peanuts, and sesame. All of us, including those that didn't have allergies, loved the cake. It was chocolate with chocolate frosting and it was so chocolatey and rich. We will definitely order another cake from here again.

HEALTHY and FLAVORFUL This is a great place for a variety of delicious and healthy options as someone who looks for gluten free and vegan options. My boyfriend got the steak sandwich which he called “the best sandwich” he’s ever had and the portion was extremely generous and the steak was super tender and flavorful. The music was pretty loud honestly a little difficult to chat but I assume that’s part of the vibe lol. Has a family owned vibe and staff was very friendly with customers. Definitely recommend

Denise Schube

Delicious gluten free donuts, cake and Oreos!! Coffee available. Cookies and cake pops. Can't wait to go back when I have more time.

Samuel Weatherby

Great first experience at 1885! The restaurant came highly recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed. The Negroni was top notch and dinner was delish! The chef even made accommodations for my gluten free diet. We will definitely return.

Laine Shields

Really great meal here, it was fast and delicious. Loved everything we tried. And appreciated how they can make most of menu gluten free.

Megan Stowe

I went and ordered an omelette. Huge portions. When I asked for no toast, they told me that they have gluten-free toast and a designated toaster. They make all of the regular bread. I will be back.

Stacy Kennedy

A++ tuna melt! Best lunch on a cold day, I got the Gluten Free and it was delicious. Not easy to find high quality deli melt sandwiches that are GF too! They accommodated our big party, live music was excellent.

The restaurant was so loud inside that the hostess had to ask us to repeat the number of our party a few times. We opted to sit outside on a cold night because of the level of noise. The waitress seemed to understand that I was a Celiac and gave a few suggestions of safe foods, including checking with the kitchen if a soup contained flour. She gave me a side of fries with my entree, after telling me they aren't gluten free. She offered to put the fries on another plate and bring the entree back (not an option because of cross-contamination) and then told me the fish I ordered has been cooked in with the fires. I had to order another entree and there was no mention of adjusting the bill to compensate for her error. The waitress didn't check back on us, offer to fill / replace drinks, or bring us the check until about 20 minutes after all of us had finished our meals. Food was ok at best. Will not be back.

Few things to say. First the service here is always fast and accurate. Always delicious and fresh but I have a few issues. I have a pretty severe gluten allergy and coming here is one of my safe options or used to… I come here often to this location after school and never had an issue until recently. Before, a manager would come by and confirm gluten allergy and made sure my stuff was bagged separately from my order (they put it in the same bag though which is a red flag) I order waffle fries since their GF bread cant even support me holding it nonetheless holding a chikin sandwich so i never order a sandwich. Also the gluten free bread is like actual sandpaper anyways After I ate the fries I had the utterly worst stomachache imagineable . Definitely some type of cross contamination. It’s sad because I trusted this place. The lemonade tasted REALLY bad too. They are usually really good with this stuff so I am just as shocked. This happened on March 10,2025 so this week. I couldn’t stop using the bathroom and couldn’t keep down food. I was in and out of the bathroom and physically could not stand. This reaction was really bad and it was the only thing I ate that day so it possibly couldn’t be anything else. I really like coming here and I’m really disappointed. I have nothing bad to say about the staff i just wish that when an allergy comes in they take it seriously. For my fellow celiacs, If the manager doesnt come to check on you. RUN… I would give this place a 5 star review but I can’t look past this.

This is one of my favorite coffeehouses in Worcester!! They are so kind to open 1 hour early for us on Wednesday mornings, for our fitness group (November Project). We love them and their support of us! Their matcha lattes and vegan/gluten free cookies are VERY good, as well.

COFFEE * Fantastic unique flavor combinations to quell both the adventurous and minimalistic folk. * Great value. * I am picky OTHER DRINKS * VIRGIN MOJITOS! They're soooooo yummy and refreshing. They have a slew of flavors you can add (i.e. peach, passionfruit, mango, raspberry...etc.). Whenever my boyfriend goes for coffee and I want some hydration--I go for these. They're made with sparkling seltzer, fresh lemon, fresh mint, and your flavor of choice! Sounds like it might be bland--nope! They're so tasty! FOOD * They're all made, in house! * Fresh and tasty. * Better than most bakeries in the surrounding areas. * GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS! PEOPLE * Happy, friendly, welcoming. You feel like family! We thoroughly enjoy going to the Northborough location whenever we get the chance (which is about every weekend and when we can make it before work during the week). Although, we haven't yet been to the Worcester location, based on the reviews and photos it seems like things are similar to our experience in Northborough. I've also met the owners at the Northborough location. Whenever I see them, they are always working behind the counting making drinks and ringing up--just like the other employees! They are hardworking and so so nice. Don't pass this place up. If you ever get tired of the same-ol' coffee joints. Give this place a try! It's a great experience with yummy food and drinks to boot. It may even become a part of your routine coffee excursions--as it has become one of ours!

Bernice White

Loved this place!! Everything I got to try before this gluten thing showed up was delicious!! My favorite was the French toast breakfast sandwich. I recommend taking the hash browns out and eating them separate from the rest of the sandwich. I'll have to comb the menu to see if there's anything I can eat there now, but, my not being able to enjoy it doesn't mean you shouldn't go have some.

D Schube

We always enjoy our time and meal here. Cocktails are an event! Roast chicken was moist and sides were delicious. Sitting at the bar is highly recommended. Gluten free meals are available too!

Marcelo Violeiro

Best Rueben slaw in town, I order it on gluten free bread with deep fry home fries. The best breakfast place in town. Thank you Route 12 Cafe for making my food always with love.

Susan j

Unless you order ala carte it is expensive. Regular toast was $1.99 but gluten free toast was an additional $2.25. Unbelievable

Lisa Iorio

I went here today with the guy I’m dating and we both loved it! The food was excellent, very good drinks, extended and well versed menu as well. The only thing I would ask them to incorporate is gluten free bread and gluten free flour to make the menu more gluten- sensitive friendly. Other than that, excellent! 😊😊

Lindsey Bassett

My mom and I both ordered turkey burgers. Honestly the best turkey burger I ever had in my entire life. I ordered a gluten free bun with my burger and it was so good. Gluten free buns can be really gross sometimes but this was so delicious I was amazed. The homemade chips here are to die for. Good service, food can take a bit long but trust me its worth the wait. Reasonable prices, nice atmosphere. We really appreciated the music playlist, seemed they had music for nearly every taste. I ordered my boyfriend a to go order to bring home because I raved about the food so much. He loved his chicken and cheese sandwich. The bathrooms actually smelled really good and were clean. There are regular tables, bar seating, high top tables and booth seating here. Nice decor, and plenty of tvs to watch the game! They also have a pretty cool breathalyzer machine by the bathrooms where you pay $1 and you blow into the machine through a disposable straw to make sure you're ok to drive home.

Tiffany Truong

Three words: delicious, refreshing and addicting. Recently moved from San Diego, and I am so thrilled to see a sugarcane juicery in Worcester! The OG is a favorite but you can’t go wrong with strawberry, dragon fruit, passion fruit or guava! Acai is layered with any toppings you wish! The honey oats topping is gluten free. Vibrant atmosphere—clean and bright—with a nice area for sitting. Parking is available on the side of the building. So run, don’t walk, to support this new small business in Worcester.

Dawn Morrison

Nice selection of Gluten Free and dairy free and Nut free items. Kombucha on draft is yummy.

Karen Bradley

Very big cafeteria and very good food. There is a variety of foods. There is alot to choose from. They also have a section for gluten free and allergy free. The food was excellent and the staff were amazing. The price to eat could be a little cheaper but they make up for it with the great food. Overall very great experience !!

Sam

Great. Have gluten free bread and options

Anita Baranowski

Super good, great portions. Chili and Nachos are gluten free!

Ann M. Costello

Order the strawberry field salad it was delicious. I do wish they offered gluten free bread option as I would love to try one of the subs I differently will be back

Tami Morris

They had so many shakes and smoothies! My boyfriend is gluten free and the person working knew off hand exactly what did and didn't have gluten. She was very helpful!

Douglas Quattrochi

A dessert place in Worcester! They’re doing a new thing and they’ve got really nice desserts, excellent cappuccino and coffee and a wide variety of herbal and regular teas. We had at our table a chocolate cake, lemon cake, blueberry crisp and red velvet! There are a couple of gluten free options for those that need it. Will go back!
