Unfortunately moved out of MA last year but I am blessed to get really fast shipping of their whole beans quickly here in TX. Love all of their blends.

This is a small and friendly cafe near Clark University. The service is friendly and the process are pretty good, its a good value. Its a small joint, do during the school year I bet it gets cramped. But, if you have some time to kill or just want to chill for a little bit this is your spot.

Im writing this review because I had an amazing blooming onion. Bravo.The bar area is fun and young and hip. Great place to go for a couple drinks with a date or pals. And the kitchen is OPEN LATE. Hallelujah.By the way, the music selection was pretty on point while I chowed down my onion. I can always appreciate a good taste in music

This is the North store near Clark University. Ive reviewed the southern one and they are both excellent. This one is smaller with a definite college vibe. Coffee was great, muffins were tasty, service was quick and friendly. Wi-Fi is solid and this is a good place to catch up on email, need, etc. Note, due to the size the tables are not large so their southern store would be better for a gathering of more than 3 people. Highly recommend!

Really fresh baked goods and a nice tea selection. Im not a coffee drinker, but my husband says its good. Helpful and accommodating wait staff. Small and cozy so dont count on a seat.

Best coffee in Worcester. The food is great, too. My favorite thing is buy a lot of coffee to take home, they often have specials. The nitro cold brew is very creamy. The teas are all very nice to drink and look at!

Stepping into Acoustic Java is like walking into a living museum. Each piece of art work, and inspirational quotes simply build onto one another to form a completely unforgettable experience. Thanks to the extremely interesting, pleasurable, and hospitable service (extended my way from Monique) that any person could ask for.

Acoustic has some of the best coffee Massachusetts has to offer. The owners and staff have a passion for coffee and it shows. Their espresso is used at one of my favorite spots in Worcester, Birch Tree Bread Company, which is where I learned about Acoustic. Ive started getting my home coffee here and its always a fun experience when I pick it up from them once a month. The staff is usually excited about a new roast and there always seems to be something unique or different to try when I pop in. So far Ive not been disappointed by anything Ive had here. Highly recommended.

Absolutely love this place. Cosy, friendly staff, veg-friendly, so many options! and great smoothies and food. I really loved the panini I had. Definitely worth getting off the freeway for.

Quaint space with good coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and it was pretty good. The medium is a generous portion just FYI. Also try to go on an off hour because there was virtually no seating when I went. All in all, a good Cafe.

Really neat coffee joint right near Clarks campus. Their sizes are huge and the flavors are good! Small, has a handful of small tables, seems like a good place to sip a coffee and read or relax during the day. Street parking only.

Fast and pleasant service every time I come in. It doesn’t hurt that they easily have the best coffee in the city.

Review №19

A nice little cafe with lively music and a down to earth feel about it. Good tea selection, and lots of books to read off the bookshelf, which is a cool touch. I didnt get anything to eat, but they have a great looking vegetarian menu as well as lots of meat-laden sandwiches and wraps. A nice place to go and get some reading done, with plenty of outlets to charge electronics, and free, fast wifi access.

Great coffee shop frequented by Clark University students and local hipsters. Breakfast sandwiches are excellent and very reasonable priced. I usually get a Cortado and they make them excellently!

Review №21

The best coffee in town with a great team of people who are polite and knowledgeable about the coffees. The coffees consist of a comprehensive selection of locally roasted beans to enjoy there, to take home, or to give to friends. The Ethiopian Blue Harare is one of the fruitiest and fragrant coffees. Art and books on the walls, gentle music floating around, magazines and newspaper to read: it feels like a little piece of Brooklyn adrift in Central MA, and there even is live music once a month at noon. You have found it! And it is very affordable ($2 for the americano ...). Stopping by Acoustic Java is the perk that triggers the drive to a recital, show, or movie at Clark, or the reward for heading to work early in the morning.

By far the best coffee in Worcester. Roasted by themselves, this coffee shop strives for the perfect cup. Excellent coffee flavors available. I’m partial to the Papa New Guinea dark roast!

Review №24

The food is generally pretty good. The cook that I go in there to get food from hasnt been in, which has put a real damper on food quality. The owner, Donny or Davey is very unpleasant. I would recommend calling ahead to make sure he isnt in. One of the most pretentious, crazy individuals I have ever met. The rest of the staff is pleasant, but I have a hard time supporting any owner who thinks his customers are trash. If he doesnt like the neighborhood and comments negatively on the diversity of the neighborhood, then maybe he should take his business elsewhere.

Without question the best coffee in Worcester. Welcoming spot. Excellent food. And whether youre liberal, conservative or anywhere in between, you cant beat the vibe, conversation, and atmosphere.

Ive been to coffee shops all over the northeast, mid-atlantic, and Midwest, and Acoustic Java definitely stands with the best. Wonderful coffee, food and service. Its great to find a place that roasts their own beans (and knows what theyre doing), but isnt pretentious and snobbish about it. Best in Worcester by far.

The first time I walked into Acoustic Java, I was feeling mortified because I had accidentally left home in a pair of black slacks covered with unsightly cat hair, and I wanted to make a good impression on my first day of class at Clark. The sweet girl behind the counter gave me the tape dispenser so I could use the tape to pick up the cat hair and fix my dilemma. That wasnt the exception, but the rule - the service there is ALWAYS top notch! Not only that, but the food is both healthy and ridiculously tasty - I order things I would not normally want to eat, but at Acoustic Java they always manage to make it amazing. The atmosphere is true old-school cafe charm, but they use up-to-date POS technology so you dont have to worry about bringing cash (though please do if youre only going to spend a small amount)... music connoisseurs will be pleasantly surprised by their playlists, and compulsive readers will find something engaging on their shelves... I just cant say enough good stuff about this place. Go there, you will feel at home right away. Its beautiful.

As a consumer you can choose where to spread your money. This is a place I would not recommend. It is expensive and the service is horrendous. Even if everything were wonderful, I would go elsewhere. Coffee is average, homemade means from a mix baked in the store. I have never been treated as rudely before including Walmart! There just isnt anything to recommend unless you seek out pretension.
