Your Grilled Cheese Choices

Say Cheese! Grilled cheese being prepared in Worcester, MA

The Grilled Cheese Sandwich is one of the oldest dishes on record. A great Grilled Cheese is a testament to the power and simplicity of high quality ingredients.

Say Cheese!

You won’t have to go out of your way to track down the Say Cheese! Truck this summer. Owner, Teri Goullete, seems to pop up at every hot spot in central Mass these days, pedaling grilled cheese sandwiches with a smile. Try the Picklebac, made with generous portions of cheddar, bacon, and dill pickles. All of Teri’s sandwiches are served on fresh slices of Tuscan Ciabatta.

Coney Island

Nothing is more Worcester than Coney Island. Known for their hot dogs, Coney Island has stood as a Worcester institution for 100 years. Lest we forget, that “Coney’s” serves up a killer Grilled Cheese Sandwich (we’re sure it has something to do with their magical grill.) Take in the art deco interior and the hand carved booths while you enjoy your lunch.

Armsby Abbey

We never get too attached to anything on Armsby’s ever-changing menu, but given their award winning cheese list, we hope the Grilled Cheese will stick around for a while. Made with a blend of Vermont Cheddar, Roth gand cru, and Manchego, the sandwich is served on thick cut honey-oat bread from neighboring, Crust Bakery. Guests can customize with roasted jalapenos, caramelized onions, roasted mushrooms, or house cured bacon.

Leave Breakfast to Worcester

Breakfast at Cafe Reyes

Everybody knows that Worcester is famous for its diners. The Boulevard, Miss Worcester, Gold Star, Kenmore… your options for eggs and bacon are endless in this city, not to mention, we are afforded the luxury of eating breakfast 24 hours a day. But, if you insist upon breaking out of the diner circuit, there are a few alternatives that we swear by:

Altea’s

Worcester was long ago deemed Paris of the ‘80s and Paris is alive and well at Altea’s. Order a sweet or savory crepe and some Spiced Sugar Beignets served with strawberry compote and creme fraiche. Breakfast starts at 7 a.m. every day of the week. Enjoy American cuisine with a French twist.

Bagel Time

Bagel Time is an institution; they say the secret is Worcester’s water. You’d better believe there’s something memorable about a Spinach Garlic bagel with Miami Lox. Once tomato season hits, ask for a couple of fresh slices and add some lettuce to your order. Grab a fresh OJ or if you’re feeling chic, spring for the Orangina.

Cafe Reyes

Only the lustrous body of a Cuban cortadito can hold up to helpings of cilantro-lime mayonnaise and sharp mustard first thing in the morning. The Desayuno Cubano is served on a traditional Cuban Roll imported from Miami’s iconic bakery, La Segunda Central. Enjoy two eggs, slow-cooked pork, thinly sliced ham, roasted red peppers, melted cheddar cheese, and mojo onions.

Crust

If you’re looking for a croissant in city limits, look no farther than Crust Artisan Bakeshop. Whether you’re in the mood for Ham and Cheese or Chocolate, baker Alexis Kelleher has something for you. Just try to resist her Monkey Bread…we dare you. Coffee offerings come straight from Armeno in Northborough, locally roasted.

Don’t take a chance on the most important meal of the day. Leave breakfast to us.
