Bean Counter Bakery Cafe
270 Grove St, Worcester, MA
Crema's Take
“Bean Counter Bakery Cafe is a beloved Worcester institution that goes way beyond coffee—their made-to-order custom cakes and rotating pastry specials (like their famous dynamite stick cannoli) are what keep locals coming back again and again. The off-street parking, generous display cases of house-made treats, and genuinely friendly service make it an ideal spot to linger over a laptop or catch up with friends, while the nostalgia factor runs deep for WPI alumni who've been stopping by since their college days.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

We love Bean Counter. My husband and I both went to WPI and Bean Counter was always a special treat during our years there. This past fall we got married and from the start of planning I knew that I wanted our cake to come from Bean Counter. We did side by side taste tests with…
Friendly and fast service and a great variety of treats. The massive cookie sandwiches were $7.50 each and the cookie dough bars were $5. I did trip on the rug coming in. Thankfully ankle was only mildly tweaked, but I moved it and brought it to the attention of the staff. …
