“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.”
“The Thirsty Lab has been around for years. For the size of the store they definitely have a decent selection-variety of alcohol beverages/ spirits.
My favorite reason for visiting the Thirsty Lab is for their homemade ice cold delicious smoothies. The Thirsty Lab uses fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and ingredients when making smoothies. I get the 20 Oz.
They also sell homemade snacks and I believe sandwiches. Great place to shop if in the area. The service has always been professional and friendly.”
“Here’s why I drive past two liquor stores that are much closer to home to go to NB liquors; They are ALWAYS welcoming, they have an excellent selection, and most importantly, they carry my favorite wine. ( Fitvine wine, sav blanc)”
“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.”
“This mom and pop store has the best customer service I have every received. The lady makes a coffee cake that is the best I have ever had. The husband cooks on Friday or Saturday. Last week he smoked brisket. It was delicious. This week was fish and chips. Next week is ribs and brisket. They are the nicest”
“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”
“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.”
“The gentleman who helped me select wine was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. You will pay a bit more here than you would at a big liquor store in Worcester, but the proximity and service make it well worth it.”
“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”
“Good place to stop to grab a beverage and check/play lottery tickets on the way to and from church service at the Souls of Yahweh Ministries Intl in Cherry Valley”
“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.”
“never personally had a bad experience with this location been going for the last 7 years. usually i run ito polite staff that seem to know more or less the happenings in the community and in the store regarding where to find the exact drinks to meet your needs.dont expect too much conversation or english but dont be afraid to engage with the customer service team either. they do their job well and have a decent selection for being a smaller store. your going to a liquor store so dont have the highest standards and youll be fine and probably have a great time. dont take my word for it go see for yourself”
“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 ?”
“A very nice place with good pricing. Only giving 4 stars because I've witnessed an employee named Nick be incredibly rude and unprofessional to multiple customers. I can understand having a bad day but you cannot take it out on the customers.”
“@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!”
“This is a great place in a wonderful small town! The owners are amazing people with such kind hearts! They become family once you've known them for a long time! I give Leicester Package Store 5 stars!!!”
“I had a wonderful experience today with Jadriana at the Hannaford in North Brookfield. I had a lot of groceries in my cart, as well as my two-year-old who was getting antsy. There were a few people in front of me in line, which was fine and expected. However, Jadriana, who was working at the self-checkout station, offered to help me scan my groceries in that area. She proceeded to scan and pack all of my groceries for me while I dealt with my child, and was extremely kind and welcoming as she did so- on top of helping others in the checkout as well. I was out of the store in half the time, and it was so incredibly helpful. Any parent knows how frustrating it can be to shop with a toddler who's been skipping naps and who doesn't want to be sitting in a cart for any longer. My son also has some sensory challenges, so grocery shopping can be hard for him- especially on a day like today when he was already in a bit of a funky mood. With Jadriana's help, both he and I struggled far less than we would have waiting in line at the full service lane.
I just wanted to extend my gratitude in a more meaningful way than with a "Thank you" at the store. I hope she can be recognized for her helpfulness, her kindness, and her welcoming attitude! It truly made my day in a way she probably does not even realize, which in my opinion makes it all the more important. We always have a good experience at Hannaford, but today it was above and beyond what we've come to expect.”

“Got pack of smokes for a buddy, very friendly. As I walked in the employees were actually helping someone out with some things price wise, so they could get more for their buck.”
“Great prices and selection of liquors and wine. Todd was very helpful. Most important, the store had hard to find bourbons in stock, Blanton and Eagle Rare, and did not charge a premium. I'm from out of town and will definitely return next time I'm in Worcester.”
“Close location if you live in Rutland & don't want to go for a far drive. It has a great variety and a return for bottles which is very convenient. The staff has always been friendly, and its family owned. Highly recommend!”
