Palma's Bakery - Worcester

Best sandwich I have had outside of Italy. The bella grinder.

IIIIII love this place. Every time I’ve been, I’ve gotten a sandwich from the deli, pastries from the pastry case, coffee from the cafe and some kind of Italian good from the shelves. The sandwiches are always insanely good, my personal favorite being the classic Italian, with its quality ingredients and freshly made bread that I literally crave for every meal in the days following its consumption. But surely you cannot go wrong with anything off the menu. They fill their cannolis as you order and their sfogliatella is fantastic, again as I’m sure is true for everything else. Coffee is delicious and fresh and always exactly what I’m needing. Every day I am so ridiculously happy I found this place for myself, and for everyone I know that will listen to my recommendations.

We managed to get not one but two stops in to this super authentic Italian bakery. They had an olive bar, some baked goods as well as other perishables such as pasta and sauces! What we came back for was the Italiano sub which had the most delicious bread and super crunch lettuce which I would say is the differentiating factor from all the other subs I’ve had. On that note for my preferences as an omnivore I appreciated the meat, cheese bread ratio.

Maybe the best grinder I’ve ever had. Fresh, crispy, perfect bread, delicious red sauce (not sweet, not sour), eggplanty (not too bready) eggplant, generous cheese. Meaty and equally delicious Italiano sub. And a creamy, crispy, freshly filled cannoli for dessert. Lots of Italian pastry options including ricotta pie that I look forward to eating. Friendly, cheerful service homey, authentic and welcoming place. Making it a mandatory stop whenever I’m in Worcester and can’t wait to try everything on the menu.

Always looking for places to eat with coworkers- so happy we found this gem! Fresh and absolutely delicious. Pricing is reasonable-massive sandwiches! Freshly filled cannolis are good too. Thank you!!!
