Hear from our valued guests
Came here for a quick bite, glad to see our orders came out quickly. They were also nicely sized, we felt full after finishing. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options but also meat if you want! We got 2 salads and a vegetarian BLT. They also have lots of drinks and snack items. Overall it's a 5/5 because it does the whole crunchy cafe thing perfectly.
If you're looking for a place to indulge in healthy, delicious food, look no further than Nu Kitchen! This establishment offers a wide variety of options to suit every dietary need and preference. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty grain bowl or a refreshing salad, you can't go wrong with any of the options on their menu.
This place makes healthy food actually taste good I didn’t bring my phone I wish I took pictures but I got the Buddha bowl and it was phenomenal!! they have many vegan and vegetarian options and their muscle machine smoothie is a great source of protein!!
Was super happy to see their vegan menu options included sandwiches, wraps and cookies. The menu was also clearly labeled for allergies. Service and food were also great. Will definitely visit again.
Nu Kitchen is my favorite spot, I come here weekly for coffee or lunch, and it never disappoints. The food and drinks are always fresh and delicious, but what truly sets this place apart is the atmosphere. Every visit, I’m warmly welcomed by Lisa, who is incredibly kind, helpful, and hardworking. She also recently introduced me to the manager, Mikayla, who went above and beyond to assist me with such care. The entire staff here is amazing, and their kindness keeps me coming back!!
Very pleased. Ask for vegan menu. My mushroom toast, lentil curry soup, and ginger iced tea was all great. Busy. Staff was nice. Counter ordering.
This place is so good! I went twice in one week. The Buddha bowl is so filling, and the dressing is extremely flavorful. The chipotle avocado and lime bowl is also delicious. Definitely try the grain bowls and fresh juices when you visit. The atmosphere is natural and organic, just like the food.
Excellent spot for some very tasty healthy food options and I loved the vibe. Great menu, so I’ll be back with lots of nutrition focused meal options and fresh ingredients. Fridge full of fresh small batch Nu Kitchen drinks! Yum 😋
NU Kitchen is a much needed little gem in Worcester! Easy and free parking, kind and friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, and fabulous healthy food made with excellent wholesome ingredients! Beautiful presentation of the food as well — I was so excited I forgot to take a picture. Great spot all around, highly recommended! And if you’re ditching plastic this year like I am, I think they can serve most things sans plastic!
Their bowls and smoothies are absolutely delicious. I frequently order pick up from here because I love their food, it’s so fresh and healthy and hits the spot every time. Tons of veg friendly options and creative eats. Friendly environment and great college spot to get work done or grab food!! Love it
