Life Garden Cafe

worcester has a coffee scene that's been quietly building for years, and main street is part of why. life garden cafe, at 1048 main st, sits in a stretch of the city that rewards the people who actually live and work here rather than pass through. regulars don't just tolerate the place, they rely on it, which is a harder thing to earn than a good review. if you're spending time in the south worcester end of main street, this is the kind of stop that pulls you back on a second visit without you quite meaning it to. the morning hours on a weekday are worth planning around.
