    Banh Mi & Bubble Tea has been on my to go list for a while now. I stopped by on Sunday around 11:00am. There is plenty of parking spots right in front. The menu consists of banh mi sandwiches, bubble tea, and some small bites. A fridge full of drinks is by the order counter. There are only 3 tables with 4 seats inside. I ordered the Roasted Pork Sandwich ($7.50) Level 1 which comes with jalapeños. Level 0 is mild and Level 2 is Thai chili. I really enjoyed the roasted pork sandwich. It was very fresh and flavorful. The bread was crispy and it held everything really well together. My husband had the Special Combo Sandwich ($7.50), ube latte with tapioca pearls boba ($5.00), and crab rangoon ($1.00). The Special Combo Sandwich is a classic Banh Mi with cold cut ham, pork, chicken liver pate, mayonnaise, pickled daikon and carrots, fresh cucumber, black pepper, green chili and cilantro. The crab rangoon was bigger than other crab rangoons we've seen before. The ube latte came in a really cute cat cup. He enjoyed everything. Staff were very friendly and our food took about 10 minutes for the food to be ready. There is a 3.0% credit card surcharge. Prices are definitely affordable. I really enjoy having banh mi so I am very happy that Banh Mi & Bubble Tea is in Cranston, RI.

    Thai Boba Tea
    Grace P.

    I took another (two) visits to the shop last week. The first day, I had a delicious thai tea with boba + jelly of some sort. Great treat. Tried the roasted pork sandwich and took it to Roger Williams Park to eat. This was a truly incredible dinner... I was so satisfied and happy to appreciate such a great meal. So delicious... it healed me haha. The next day I tried the pork floss. So good! A little fishy tasting, so if that turns you off, I'd stick to a different preparation of your sandwich.

    Vegetarian Banh Mi
    Jackie D.

    A recurring favorite of ours. The pickled veggies are fresh, and the meats are well seasoned. We enjoy the grilled shredded chicken, grilled pork strips, and vegetarian banh mis. The vegetarian banh mi isn't the typically slice of tofu - they have a mix of crispy tofu skin and bean curds that add some nice texture and crunch to the sandwich. The place is clean and service is nice. If you have a big party or are exceptionally hungry, then they usually have the promo of buy 5 sandwiches, get 1 free! It's already affordable as is, but why not get an additional deal to satisfy your cravings?! Highly recommend!

    meatball banh mi
    Maria M.

    Solid banh mi. My favorite is the grilled chicken and the Vietnamese meatball. The bread is really crunchy yet soft inside. The vegetables are fresh but not the traditional pickled kind which is a bit disappointing. I also think they could be a bit more generous with the fillings. That said it's very affordable! Sandwiches are between 6 and 8 dollars. Pro tip: Avoid going around 2pm on weekdays as you will be inundated with high school students from the school next door ordering bubble tea.

    Great banh mi place. Best in RI. Found this place when I was craving for banh mi since I missed banh mi at Ba Le, in Dorchester, MA. Not many options for authentic banh mi place in RI and i've tried them all but came to conclusion that this is the best so far in RI. Have been here many times and tried almost all of their menu except different types of bubble tea. My favorite is white ham and pate banh mi and Vietnamese style egg rolls. Their grilled pork or beef are also great if you do not prefer pate or cold cuts. They also provide options for spicy if you like spicy. Their bubble tea is okay I've had better ones from places that specialize in bubble tea only. Downside is that sometimes their sides have inconsistencies. Their egg rolls may be crispy and sometimes not and their pork bun is not fully cooked sometimes and can feel the dough still soft. Place is also pretty small so usually it's best to pick up. It can get crowded sometimes when a-lot of people come in. Overall it's a solid place and I do come back here time to time if I want banh mi. Side note: they offer stamp card for ordering and will give you a free bubble tea after 10 orders.

    Banh mi

    We stopped by here since we were already around Cranston and were craving boba. I ended up actually getting an avocado smoothie, since not many places make it. The smoothie was delicious and tasted just like avocado smoothies I've had when I was a child. If you haven't tried one before, it's creamy and rich, and would definitely recommend trying! My friend also got a banh mi, which she said she enjoyed a lot!

    beef banh mi

    I've been coming to this banh mi place for almost four years, and the taste has never changed! They have three tables for seating. Their banh mi and mango slush are consistently excellent. I get banh mi from here about once a month, and the prices are great. They only increased their banh mi prices by a dollar this year, which is very reasonable. I love the service here. It gets really busy around lunchtime on weekends, but even then, my longest wait has only been 10-15 minutes.

    Vietnamese iced coffee
    Lilian C.

    I've been meaning to write a review for this place for a while now. I usually give five stars to businesses that I visit multiple times and that I want to keep succeeding! Anyways, it's a sort of hole in the wall shop. There are few tables to sit inside. It has a homely vibe which is a good thing. The bubble tea/boba drinks are good! Basic, not super fancy, which is good because it's not wholly a boba shop. The tastes of the milk tea and Thai tea bobas are what they should taste like and the tapioca balls are generally good. If you like coffee and haven't tried it, you definitely should get the Vietnamese iced coffee. I might be biased because I grew up with it, but no coffee in life tastes as strong and yet deliciously sweet as Vietnamese coffee. This place nails it. We also got the special (dac biet) banh mi (with jalapeños because I am a spicy girl). It tastes great, and as expected! All in all it's reminiscent of all the banh mi shops I've spent a chunk of my childhood in.

    This is a nice lil spot hidden in Cranston. I've driven by it so many times and didn't even notice it. So glad I finally did! This place is a hidden gem with great sandwiches and apps and iced coffee and tea! The sandwiches are made with care and the flavors are on point. I had the grilled steak and it was delicious the pickled veg goes so well with the meat and the bread is the perfect vessel for it all. The iced coffee was delicious! And the prices are very reasonable for an affordable delicious meal you should check this place out!

    I think it's time to update my review. The food has improved since their opening. I used to not be too enthralled with their pork bun because of the ratio of ingredients being off but now, it's something I would definitely buy again. The texture of the bread for the banh mi has improved. It has a little more chew to it while maintaining the light crispness. Try the Vietnamese iced coffee. So good! I called in and ordered ahead. They said it would take 15 minutes which is how long it takes me to get there. Food was ready when I arrived. Very nice staff. Most importantly, I love the convenient location. One of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch.

I walked into a space that was clean and well kept, with a couple of tables and some board games available that gave it a slightly more social feel than a purely grab and go setup. The drink customization here is genuine rather than performative. Sugar levels and ice levels are both adjustable, and the staff actually followed through on my specifications, which is not universally true at boba shops that advertise the same options. I ordered the wintermelon milk tea, and it was a strong choice. The taro with black boba and milk foam, brown sugar bubble tea, and the strawberry milk tea are all consistent options that represent what the kitchen does well. The boba pearls are cooked in house, and the texture reflected that, with a chewiness that held up through my drink. This location reflects an average Gong Cha experience, and it does it well. For a reliable boba stop in the area with actual customization that works, Gong Cha delivers.

Service: The service was quick and efficient, and I love that they also offer online ordering!

I walked into a space that is bright and well designed, with large windows bringing in natural light on a sunny day and a layout that works for both sitting with a drink and getting some work done. The matcha program is the reason most people come here. I noticed the menu follows seasons and trends in a way that keeps the offering from feeling static, and the flavor combinations go beyond what most cafes in the area attempt. I tried the strawberry matcha, which is the most liked drink here, and it was decent. The hojicha latte is a strong alternative for anyone who wants something with a roasted, earthier quality rather than the grassy brightness of standard matcha. Sweetener is an add on rather than included by default, which is worth knowing when you place your order, particularly if you are accustomed to cafes that automatically offer a simple syrup option. The menu also extends into wine and cocktails for evening visits, which gives the space a different function than a typical daytime cafe. Consistency on the matcha is mixed, with occasional issues around mixing and clumping that affect both the flavor and the texture. When it is well made, the quality is evident. The cafe gets crowded and loud during peak hours, so visiting on a weekday or arriving early on weekends gives you a better experience of the space. Parking in the area is manageable compared to most of Providence. For a matcha focused cafe with a unique menu and a bright, comfortable space, Ceremony is worth knowing about.

Coming from the Bay Area in California, I have had so many boba spots and this one ranks so high and has become one of my favorites!! I absolutely love their black milk tea, but my partner loves their jasmine milk tea. You really can't go wrong with either. The store is also super cute and cozy, and it has a good amount of seating which makes it perfect for hanging out or studying! I also always get the combo with their fries or chicken, and after trying all of the flavors, I can confirm that they're all super delicious. My personal favorite is the regular salt and pepper one, but my sister loves the seaweed flavor. The chicken is also super crispy and juicy!! As for service, I've always had super positive interactions and they get your boba out to you super fast. I literally make this a top priority when I visit Providence, and I'm so grateful that there is such a yummy boba place when I'm away from home. I really recommend (-:

It's a small tea shop in providence that offer toppings such as boba and sides like taiwanese chicken. They offer different tea toppings like boba, crystal, jelly, ..etc and also sweetness, milk substitute and ice options. Parking is street parking only and can be difficult to find during busy time. Inside is nicely decorated and has good aesthetic. Seatings are limited so I would not expect to find one unless you are lucky. I guess the name of the place is derived from cha which means tea in Chinese and Daruma who is a founder of zen Buddhism. They have a mascot who looks like Buddha holding a bubble tea. I ended up ordering black milk tea with boba and taiwanese popcorn chicken with seaweed and salt/pepper. Tea came out right away and was pretty good. Good tea flavor but maybe a bit too sweet. Boba is home made and its nice and chewy and no inconsistency. I would do 75% sugar and less ice next time for my liking. Taiwanese popcorn chicken was juicy and flavorful. We also got lucky with seating so we sat down to enjoy their food and drink. Service was good and no issues. Overall the place is pretty good. I think everything was good quality and definitely one of the better tea/fried chicken place around RI. If it was in more convenient location I would definitely come back often but I would likely only stop by if I'm already around the area. I did like the place.
