Nu Cafe Open in Union Square

[aislingk15.livejournal.com]

Thought I'd give a shout out to Nu Cafe, which opened recently on Washington Street in Union Square, since it seems like something that would appeal to this community, but is not really in a location that you'd walk by going to the usual Union Square haunts. The menu is extensive and very vegan/vegetarian friendly. It should be noted that this location doesn't have espresso drinks (which are listed on the website menu and I assume are available in Worcester) but does have alcohol. The space is huge and they have wifi. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just happily eating my Thai Curry Bowl and iced coffee and thinking that other people should be here too.

Can you add in a link to their website? Will they be adding the espresso drinks soon?
Also, what is their address on Washington Street?

I added the address and the link. I didn't specifically ask about whether espresso drinks were coming in the future, but when I asked if they had any, I just got a straight "no". So right now it's regular coffee/tea/cold brew, freshly made juices/smoothies, and some bottled drinks.

Thanks. I can't tell whether these events take place in both locations simultaneously?

My suspicion is those are Worcester-specific, but I'm just speculating. It may be worth an email to them about the fact that with two locations now, they're going to need to be clearer on the website about which things/food/events are at which site.

Oh cool! Thank you for telling us about them!

We stopped in there for the first time the other day. Some of the dishes are similar to LifeAlive. I'm thrilled to have it in the neighborhood. Bloc has really gone downhill in the past year IMO so I'm happy to have another lunch spot. Prices were pretty reasonable and I was happy with my grain bowl. The staff was nice and the space was open and cozy.
