Crema's Take
“Cafe Reyes brings authentic Cuban and Latin cuisine to Northborough with standout dishes like perfectly crispy empanadas and pollo saltado that you won't find at typical coffee shops, all served by genuinely friendly staff in a charming Caribbean-inspired space. Beyond the exceptional food and coffee, there's a meaningful warmth to the experience knowing your dollar supports a good cause, making it the kind of neighborhood spot where families linger over breakfast and friends naturally gather for long conversations.”

Great service and some really well made cuban food I dont see at other cafes. Plus knowing my dollar goes to a good cause was the cherry on top of an already great experience!
Absolutely amazing experience at Cafe Reyes! I had the ham and cheese empanada and the pollo saltado, and both were incredible. The empanada was perfectly crispy on the outside with a rich, flavorful filling, and the pollo saltado was hands-down one of the best I’ve had — tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and you can really feel the heart behind this place. We loved learning the backstory — it makes supporting this restaurant even more special. Great food, great service, great vibes. We’ll definitely be back!
Cafe Reyes is a true Worcester gem. We shared the black bean soup, Cuban sandwich, and a chorizo-and-cheese empanada — everything was delicious, comforting, and full of flavor. The staff could not have been warmer or more welcoming. Dan Flores was especially friendly and made us feel right at home. They kindly gave us a 10% student discount for our Holy Cross student and even surprised us with a cream cheese and guava pastry that was perfectly balanced and paired beautifully with the coffee and steamed milk. We loved it so much we ordered extra empanadas and dessert to bring back to our son and his roommate. Learning about Café Reyes’ nonprofit mission and community impact made the experience even more meaningful. Wonderful food, wonderful people, wonderful purpose — can’t wait to return. ❤️
Great and quaint place with a Caribbean decor for authentic Latin breakfast! Definitely come try it out.
The food was super good and there was a lot of good and unique options in the menu. The staff there had really quick service, and were also extremely friendly and helpful. They offered good and freshly baked pastries for dessert, that were also very tasty.
