Crust Artisan Bakeshop

We had not ordered food from Crust Artisan Bakeshop since the tail end of the pandemic. I ordered online and picked up our food to go. It was great to see the seating and counter area opened up as this was closed off when we were in last. Had I known about the seating area, I would have dined in and enjoyed coffee, also. Our order consisted of 2 Apple Cider Donuts, 1 Breakfast Sandwich (Egg & Cheese, Croissant, and added Hash Brown), and 1 Breakfast Sandwich (Rise & Shine - Sausage, Egg, Cheese, Sourdough, and a Hash Brown). I ate half of my Rise & Shine and am saving the other half for later. I was getting full on just the half and enjoyed it very much. I am not usually one to order sweets, but I did get us the Apple Cider Donuts. I shared half of mine with my wife and we will enjoy the other donut and a half this weekend. I was surprised how much I liked the donut. No wonder they are in such demand. They are delicious. We will definitely return to Crust in person next time.

CHECK IT OUT then you can thank me . My daughter’s live in Portland , Maine in which there is a vast selection of amazing pastry/bread shops ; seemingly around every corner. New to Worcester , I just became aware of CRUST which rivals the best of Portland! The chicken salad on a fresh croissant was perfectly balanced and mouth watering delicious- might as well fill that in for the pain au chocolat, the spinach and feta on phyllo dough and undoubtedly everything else . The service is great, atmosphere is laidback . Get there early because they do tend to run out of their more popular pastries by 9:30/10:00 . Oh, I got the olive loaf to take home but sneaked a pinch and it, too, is divine.

Ordered online and my order was ready and waiting when I arrived which i appreciated. 10 min parking right out front which is so convenient. The sandwiches were pretty good, definitely better than dunks or Rocco’s but not out of this world. I ordered an iced matcha latte which I absolutely do not recommend, it was terrible, chalky and chunky. Not the way it should be. Maybe the coffee and espresso drinks are better? Kind of expensive for the quality overall.

We are new residents in the neighborhood and making a point of visiting local cafes and restaurants. This is a very pleasant and intimate cafe with a nice selection of breads, bakery, sandwiches, coffee and other beverages. The chicken salad sandwich on sour dough bread was very good, as was the almond croissant. The iced house Sumatra blend coffee is full bodied, flavorful and balanced.

What a wonderful little spot! Delicious coffee, an amazing assortment of baked goods, such friendly staff! Get there early if you want a yummy plain croissant, we went later in the afternoon and they were all sold out! Ended up getting a corn, bacon and cheese croissant, which was so good!! While we were there many people came in to buy their bread, coffee, and pies. The music is nice and soft, and the window seat is a great place for people watching. Would love to come back and try some of their other menu items, today they had a churro doughnut!
