Blue Shades

We stopped by on our way out of Worcester and were pleasantly surprised by this cute little shop. The owner was super friendly and recommended different buns to try. My friend got an iced latte and it was, dare I say, much better than Starbucks. What delicious espresso! We will definitely be visiting next time we're in town.

Such waffles! Their gluten-free waffles have a glazed-cake-donut consistency, which is lovely. I opted for the strawberry nutella topping-- which came with a generous portion of the berries 🍓🥞 The waffles may look small, but they are mighty! I was hungry and had ordered two... which means I now have tasty leftovers for later! On top of that, my London Fog was lovingly crafted-- the perfect addition on this winter's day. The staff were friendly and courteous. I was visiting from out of town, but I'll be happy to return the next time I'm in the neighborhood. Thank you for raising the bar on gluten-free treats 😊

I can't say enough good things about Blue Shades. I've been here multiple times in Worcester and each visit has been extraordinary. Their food selection has excellent toast and waffle options. Savory waffles, avocado toast, mochi, and more. Definitely more snacks and small bites, perfect compliments to their drinks. The coffee and drink offerings are where blue shades really stands out. Expertly crafted drinks. PERFECT espresso every time. They use a lot of local ingredients and have their own products. Excellent place to stop in for a coffee or tea.
