    This dining room is absolutely stunning. What a beautiful spot downtown offering strong Wi-Fi and tasty coffee. Obviously, the story behind the place is wonderful, and I can't imagine anyone not wanting to support a business with a mission. However, the coffee is actually really good with tasty treats in the window like fun rice crispy treats and muffins. The service is super friendly. How can you go wrong!

    This is a local outpost of a growing coffee shop chain dedicated to hiring individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Given this, I expected to find a group of counter staff and servers who might be well-supervised and closely observed while learning their trade. I was surprised today, though, to find a trio who'd driven up from Connecticut to cheer on their cousin, our cashier - who was so friendly, competent, and patient - with us! I like the design of the space, and really was impressed by the clever use of matching sets of playing cards (one for the customer, the other for the barista) so that shy workers and those for whom speech might not come easily can still bring our orders! I had an excellent iced latte (I wasn't asked for my milk preference, but would have ordered non-dairy from the start if I'd wanted it); my husband had a cold brew. My drink was excellent; his was good, but slightly bitter. Prices are about the current average for a cup of coffee, so this might become a near-daily stop, since I work just across the street. What will definitely be on my next visit though is one of the tasty looking breakfast sandwiches I didn't get to try today! Parking may be tough for the casual visitor, so maybe the target audience is the large student population in the area, maybe its residents in the large Station Row/Park Row complex. In any event, try to make it here at least once. It's a beautiful space with a great mission and good coffee.

    I'm really torn about this place. The inside is beautiful, the staff is so sweet and the Wi-Fi is strong. It's a perfect spot to sit and get work done because they have comfy booths in the back so if you're sitting for a long time you won't be uncomfortable. And of course, you can't go wrong with a place that was built upon such strong community values. My issue was, the breakfast sandwiches are premade so you cannot make any changes to them and unfortunately, they don't offer a sandwich that does not have meat on it. My latte was honestly really bad. It taste just like a cup of warm milk. It's hard because I know it was made with love and the staff was really attentive, but unfortunately, I didn't love the items I purchased. There is two hour unmetered parking out front, which is a plus. They're not a lot of spots but enough if you're going early in the morning.

    My friend wanted to check out this place because it was new, but also because of the mission behind it. Based on their website, "Bitty & Beau's Coffee is a human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop, where people with intellectual & developmental disabilities are valued in the workplace. It's a place where diversity isn't just appreciated, it's celebrated. Bitty and Beau's proudly employs 450+ individuals with disabilities nationwide." When you walk in, this message is also sprinkled on the walls, and their merchandise corner (I was tempted to get something). The menu is not overwhelmingly long, which is appreciated. I got their matcha latte, and after about 10 minutes, I had my order in my hand. While I waited, I read the stuff on their walls, and noticed how cozy some of their seating looked. I love the system they have for keeping track of orders. They have a sleeve with two of the same playing cards, they keep one and give you the other. When they call your playing card, you know your order is ready. As we walked out of the place, I noticed my cup had a handwritten note that read "We love you" and my friend's said something else. It was a unique touch, and a great way to start the day. I didn't realize there were more locations, but there are a couple others.

    I love coming to Bitty & Beau's! It is such an amazing concept! I love the energy in this cafe. You are always greeted with a warm and energetic hello. The staff is lovely and always put a smile on my face. The coffee is really good. I recently ordered a lemon berry muffin. They suggested I warm it up and I was so happy that I listened! The lemon curd warmed up was EXCELLENT! I try to visit here weekly. I hope others continue to support as well!

    There's a small drink menu, but there is something for everyone here at Bitty & Beau's. Was it my favorite latte that I've ever had? No, but the space is beautiful and the spirit of the brand makes the experience special. They also offer monthly drink specials that are off menu and available for a limited time so be sure to ask about them. They offer breakfast sandwiches and some baked goods and assorted sweets in the case if you're looking for a small nibble while you're there. They have a significant merch section and offer a variety of t shirts, cups, mugs, bags, pins, stickers, hats, and other collectibles that help promote the brand and their message of inclusivity.

    Came here for the grand opening in providence. Very friendly staff and owners. Ordered the pumpkin spice latte and a croissant sausage breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious, when they add the chicken and waffle I would love to try it the next time I am here. The sitting area and vibe is really comforting and good to do school work. Definitely will be back!!

    I recently stopped by Bitty & Beau's because it's new in our neighborhood and looks so cozy inside. I was greeted with a friendly smile, and I ordered a blueberry muffin and dark roast coffee. I was handed an 8 of hearts card and told when my order was ready, I'd hear my card! Everyone behind the counter was efficient and most importantly, happy, which made me happy! My order was ready fast and my coffee was hot. The blueberry muffin was soft and warm and had a delicious, cake-like texture with crunchy sugar crystals on top. The decor was cozy yet uncluttered, natural wood with cream and black accents. There's a huge word map on the wall, when you can pin your hometown, such a nice touch! I'm excited to have a great coffee shop in my neighborhood, looking forward to returning soon.

    How can anyone not give this place 5 stars. Love everything about it! Ive been teaching my students about this place for years and to now have one in our backyard is amazing! Card only! No cash!

    Great experience, great food and drink. This place is a must stop. Their frozen hot chocolate is outstanding. Our kids loved the space and the food. The service was kind and had great attention to detail.

There was a bit of a wait around 9:30am on a Sunday but I can appreciate that the sandwiches are made fresh. I got the Sunday Sandwich and wanted to swap the bacon for an extra egg; however, I later saw the worker charged me for an extra egg instead. I wish they allowed the substitution especially when the cost is comparable. The Sunday Sandwich was delicious and well balanced with fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked over medium eggs, super crispy hashbrowns, and the thin bolo bread which I was a big fan of. Chive On was a good try as it combined the savory eggs with the sweet honey and a little spice from the sriracha along with the creaminess from the cream cheese. If you're a texture person, you would love this one! From a price and fullness perspective, the Sunday Sandwich was the winner but both really great tries!

I got the Pecan Sticky Bun…read more(absolutely delicious- crunchy pecans, sweet but balanced, flaky pastry) and an iced Matcha Latte with New England maple syrup (good amount of matcha flavor, but didn't really taste the maple which was a bummer). Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is great with both indoor and outdoor seating (it was such a pretty courtyard garden-y area outside). One con is that they don't have wifi? 8/10 would recommend.

They were already closed when I drove by yesterday evening so I wasn't able to see what it looked like inside. But for some reason, I felt compelled to give them a visit. After all, when it's cold like this...I have a tendency to find a bakery in the morning and go very carb-heavy with a nice hot mug of brewed tea or coffee. As I walked up, I was immediately awed by the snow covered outdoor patio. It was beautifully covered in a light layer of snow (obviously unused due to the weather) with little birds all fluffed up and perched atop some of the chairs. They sure looked like little caretakers of the area and were a very cute sight! Walking through the door immediately transported me out of the elements into a very warm and comfortable zone filled with the scent of freshly baked bread and pastries and fresh coffee grounds. Both happy and awake banter as well as sleepy groans enveloped the room. You could hear the staff buzzing around moving pastries and firing up fresh brews for those in line. It's pretty awake in here compared to everything else outside. Stepping up to look at the baked options on the front counter, I was greeted by one of the friendliest voices I've heard in a while. She was so cheerful that I couldn't help but wonder if it's the coffee or tea they serve here or the potent pastries lining the display shelves. Well, whatever it is, I definitely want what she had! I settled for a dirty chai and a couple of pastries and sat on one of the high tops beside my little feathery friends staring in from outside. Each sip divine. Each bite absolutely lovely. Even chatted with an older gentleman with the coolest indigenous soft cloth coat beside me. Everyone was friendly. Everyone was kind. They sure are not the usual sleepy and grumpy breakfast spot. I'll definitely be back when here in Providence again!

    I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.
