“When ever we are in Worcester, we make a point to stop in.
Excellent food in there.
We particularly love their marinated sirloin steak tip... perfect for the grill.
Nit to mention their Excellent wine selection.”
“Come for the selection, stay for the birds. This place has been an community oasis for decades. If it's on your way home and you need some beer, some milk, and some diapers... You can get it all here.”
“I've visited a couple of times, small but very cute place. Knowledge staff and very friendly! So much better than the big stores and about the same price. I'm hooked on the Sweet Lolli wine and I know for sure they carry it so I'll be a forever returning customer. ?”
“Really nice little liquor, wine, and beer store. It has a little cafe and sitting area for the morning. Employees are super friendly and offer great recommendations. I love to stop here while I'm passing through the area. Probably my favorite place to buy alcohol anywhere. I feel like more of a conessuer than an alcoholic here lol”
“I called ahead in my search for Busch Apple. They told me it was in stock so I immediately drove over. They were very kind, they limited one per customer but saw how excited I was and sold me two. W. Great people!”
“Great selection, friendly staff, and fair prices – this place has it all. Whether you're looking for a specific brand or just browsing for something new, the staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. The store is clean and well-organized, making it easy to find what you need. Definitely my go-to spot for all my beverage needs.”
“friendly service and they sell lots of winning lottery tickets. smoke shop is well stocked with plenty of variety and they also have a cell phone franchise from Boost Mobile”
“Great collection of scotch single malts.. in choice and pricing , comparing to other places in the area.. , also has nice section for international wines.. very clean place, and pleasant personnel a+++”
“I took a friend in here that needed to find some beer while they were visiting. They had a huge selection and it was well organized. They have the Seltzer in one section, the lagers, the ipas and even all of the wine. Well sorted hard liquor and friendly service. If I only drank alcohol this place would be amazing. But my buddy said it was super rad.”
“Gala Foods Supermarket in Worcester is one of those rare places that restores your faith in what a grocery store — and a community — can be. Every visit feels refreshing, abundant, and full of warmth. The energy here is bright yet gentle: colorful aisles, inviting lighting, and signage that feels caring rather than loud. Everything looks fresh, tastes vibrant, and is priced so fairly that you can shop with both joy and peace of mind.
My favorite part of Gala Foods has always been the deli — truly one of the best in all of Worcester (and I say that as a former deli worker!). Their sandwiches are made with love and precision, bursting with flavor and generosity.
I especially want to recognize Alfred, one of the deli staff members, who consistently went above and beyond. His kindness, humor, and genuine attentiveness turned an ordinary lunch stop into something special. He treated us not just like customers, but like guests, and you could tell he takes pride in making food that touches people’s hearts.
What stands out most about Gala Foods is the culture of care that shines through every person there. The whole team radiates friendliness and sincerity — it’s clear that leadership has created an environment where people love what they do and love who they work with. That kind of joy can’t be faked; it’s felt in every smile and every fresh, delicious bite.
The selection of Latin American foods is also outstanding — diverse, authentic, and beautifully presented. You can feel the pride and cultural richness that Gala Foods brings to the community.
Every time I left Gala Foods, I felt nourished not only in body but in spirit. I’m so grateful this place exists — it’s a true gem in Worcester and a reflection of everything good about food, people, and community.
If I could give more stars, I would.”
“Well, I go there to buy trash bags for the city. Also bags of ice. I do not consume alcohol so I cannot comment on that. However the place is always trip top. Pleasant employees.”
“Great people! Awesome selection of beer, ipa, and alcohol. The BBQ is phenomenal and the fish and chips are the best I've ever had! 100% recommend to everyone.”
“Olympic Wine and Spirits provides one of the most diverse range of liquor, beer and wine around! Service was fast and the owner even personally helped me find the drink I was looking for. Olympic definitly gained a regular customer today!”
“They have a quarter machine that gives out gifts and other quarters, I got a $50 card! First time I ever tried it. There are still gas cards and a $25 card in there.”
“My favorite liquor store of all time! My only complaint is i keep asking them for a winning scratch ticket but theyre terrible at picking winning scratch tickets. Guys they have slim jims :D”
“I absolutely recommend this store!! It's not overwhelming and the staff is super friendly and helpful! Prices are very affordable . Never have a bad experience here.....”
“I was greeted with a smile. I was searching for something I had never even heard of before. With new flavors of alcohol and beer coming out every day I can't keep up. I was very pleased with the service and support for my crisis. I left the store a very happy customer.”

“3 other liquor stores closer then this one and I always choose to come here. Amazingly friendly and always professional, and timely. 10 STARS for my friends here!”
“Me and wife have been going here for years!!! The prices are spot on and the staff is amazing! We live downtown and walk and Uber everywhere! My wife just made a huge purchase and one of the clerks was nice enough to drive my wife and the purchase home!!! I don’t know any other liquor store that would do this!!!”
“Good people, not such a great area... The is more of a locals spot, despite the hospital being right across the street.They've got a decent selection but more importantly the people working here are good, down-to-earth nice folks.Just don't visit at night, unless you're from the neighborhood, of course.”
“Great experience every time we go. Multiple times they helped us to the car when my husband was on crutches. Just an amazing mom and pop store with good people. I'd rather support them than big businesses.”
“Everytime I come here they have what I’m looking for. This liquor store has a very large selection of alcohol and it’s nice to be able to see all the different things to try out. The staff has always been nice and are always willing to help when questions arise.”
“@Warzone Clipz, that's because MA has specialized IDs for those old enough to purchase alcohol, some places might accept OOS IDs, but the guy at El Coqui isn't going to do that. He followed rules, so your rating is ignorant. Get the proper ID for Massachusetts. El Coqui is a great store, and the owner is great too. His regulars love him and for a good reason!”
“Awesome, family owned spot.. always polite, friendly and helpful.. I moved to the area and couldn't find anyplace that sold my favorite wine.. they ordered it for me. Great hours, great service ?”
“The people are the greatest, especially Tammy, she really keeps things going, friendly and relatable. She's just someone you know would make a great friend but don't..... I love em all! Prices aren't bad either ?”
“Located in a nice neighborhood, the staff are friendly, and there's always enough parking when I arrive. This place is nice and has everything that I need in a package store.”
“Always pretty friendly. Nice place.. Clean & seems always stocked and to have what people need. I stop & do my lottery here. Haven't hit the Powerball yet though... (I don't think that's their fault)”
