This little establishment was a hidden gem, parking was a bit tricky but that is my only complaint. Food was fabulous and different. Service was spectacular and it was cute and had nice decor inside!

Solid breakfast experience here on a recent weekday. Super generous portions, I couldn't finish my whole omelette or potatoes, which never happens to me! The goat cheese in the veggie omelette was quite good though I asked for 'light goat cheese' since I don't love it, and it still felt like there was a lot - the normal amount must be a ton! Iced coffee was a little weak but I appreciated the refills. Others in the group got crepes and the yogurt bowls which also looks delish. Service was fast and friendly too.

Great benedicts, super creative menu with good food! The server was so lovely and the vibe was overall wonderful for our party of 4. The popcorn chicken benedict was SO good, with great spice, but the potatoes could use some love. I tried one and couldn't continue. The tables are incredibly small, which is sad because we would have 100% gotten more if there was space on the table. See pic for reference, there were 4 chairs at that table when we walked in and we all had a drink and an entree. Overall, would go again for sure!!

I freaking LOVE this place omg I would eat here everyday if I had the funds to. All the food is amazing and addicting and huge. So let's go one by one: *Popcorn chicken Benedict- crunchy and hot popcorn chicken with a (I think chipotle?) sauce. My eggs on this one were unfortunately not runny like how I like them to be in eggs Benedict, but still good. I always switch out the fries with a side salad which is an extra cost but it just goes so much better, the make the meal feel as heavy. *Corned beef Benedict- As you can see I love eggs Benedict in different fonts. Also very good, the eggs were indeed runny in this one. Beef is not too salty like how it sometimes is in corned beef. *Tres leches French toast- wow. I'm actually not too big of a sweet tooth, but this was perfect as dessert. It looks and sounds unbareably sweet, but surprisingly it's not as sweet as you would expect? But still sweet? Idk it was a good balance. I definitely couldn't eat this as my actual meal though, this should be reserved for dessert. *Breakfast poutine- My boyfriend got this one, it's pretty good. He really enjoyed it but personally I wouldn't order it for myself because it's very heavy and I would probably get heartburn. The only downside is that it can get pretty busy, and you may have to wait to get seated. Also since it's busy sometimes the waiters are frazzled and service is a bit slow so don't come here if you're in a rush. However that's not the waiters' fault, they are always very nice and trying their best! With it being busy, it can get a bit loud and depending on where your seat is, you may be sitting shoulder to shoulder with the dude at the table next to you. But it's kind of a vibe?

Altea is a somewhat small diner environment that seems to be very popular given how busy it was. This made the service a bit slow, but the waitress was quite friendly so the slowness was easily overlooked. They serve breakfast and lunch. I had breakfast for lunch and it was nice to get a corned beef omelette at noon. It was slightly overcooked but still a hearty and pretty good meal. The side of potatoes was cooked and seasoned well, and the buttered baguette was soft and delicious. I also ordered a coffee with Baileys Irish Cream and it was excellent. Overall, a nice place with decent pricing worth a repeat visit.

Stumbled upon this local spot while driving through Worcester and beyond lucky as found it. Parking is paid street parking or there are select free off street lots if you can find a spot. We had a 15 minute wait as it was fully packed so we ventured the surrounding stores and timed it perfectly. WOW! Everything from my latte to beignets was out of this world delicious. My latte was the perfect amount of bitter to sweetness from the caramel. I ordered the caramel apple crepes for a nice mid day snack. The crepes were crisp but fluffy and packed with flavor. The apples were perfectly sautéed inside and topped off with whipped cream and walnuts. My boyfriend ordered the braised short rib sandwich with home fries. It was a huge portion and the home fries came with mixed in fried onions. The short rib was tender and a well portioned amount. Our server Cara was an absolute delight. She was so charming and personable and checked in frequently for how crazy busy the restaurant was. We were stuffed and both had leftovers to take home but we could not resist ordering the sugared spice beignets. Highly recommend they were crunchy and soft and fluffy inside. The beignets come with a fresh strawberry sauce and whipped cream which were a great balance to the sugary sweetness. I could not get over how amazing the food was and it was all great sized portions for very reasonable prices. If you are in the Worcester area Altea's Eatery is an absolute MUST TRY!
