Best new bakery downtown. Finally a place with decent hours past 1pm that's open on a Monday. I've been waiting for this my entire residency in worcester! Good selection of desserts and sandwiches and the staff is so nice.
Everything here is excelente! muito delicioso! A clean and comfortable atmosphere awaits your arrival, and the friendly staff is happy to help! The prices are very reasonable!
I had some free time yesterday while in Worcester, waiting for my fiancé, who was at a dentist appointment. So his cousin & I decided to take a walk around to kill time. We came upon La Central & decided to go in, as it was a place I'd never been to or heard of. I have lived in Worcester previously for a time back in 2010, I now live almost an hour away. Anyhow, the minute we walked in, we noticed that this place smelled heavenly & we were eager to see what they had available for food. The variety was amazing! Menu selections all sounded wonderful. Prices reasonable. The lady behind the counter greeted us warmly & was very courteous & sweet. My fiancés' cousin chose cheesecake (a whole one for him to split with his Mother, but I believe they may also have slices). I had trouble deciding, so I went with the chicken croquettes (2) & beef empanada (2). These were to share with my fiancé. I also knew I couldn't leave without adding something sweet, so I grabbed a box of (4) brigadeiro. Everything here is just as delicious as it smells! The service was fantastic. It was also a very comfortable & clean setting. They do have restrooms available for customers also. We were very impressed & do plan on returning next time we're in the city of Worcester. Awesome family owned business. They also have numerous pastries, fresh breads, sandwiches, including panini & much more! See for yourself. Ground level & wheelchair accessible. Appropriate setting for both adults & children. Love it & can't wait to try more of what they have to offer! Located right on Main Street. **Note: my photos include two from the inside & one of me sitting outside, enjoying one of their chicken croquettes.**
Stopped in for lunch. Was greeted by a friendly gentleman. He went over the menu with us. We decided on the Tostones Locos (AMAZING!!!) and Chicken Tenders. Food was fresh and tasty. Prices are good. They have a good selection of baked goods as well. Would definitely recommend.
Great place. The empanadas are amazing here. The staff is very polite and the overall vibe is awesome. The place is always real clean and the food always fresh. Def recommend if you’re in the downtown Worcester area.
Ordered a last minute customized cake for my bestie’s birthday. I gave the order in the morning and yeah the cake was ready by evening!! We really loved the Tiramisu cake and the taste was amazing! Thank you so much for this beautiful cake:) Highly recommended!
I went there for Sunday brunch and got the breakfast sandwich. It was so good, the grilled ham was a nice change of pace and the Croissant was so flaky and buttery; and the truffle home fries were a fantastic side dish. I ended up going to the counter and picking up some pastries as well, the Apple Cider donut is a must get!
