Tt has everything you'd want from a great coffee shop: comfortable seating, plenty of room to spread out and work, a rentable conference room, and something you would not expect from a coffee shop, the Aurora Bar, stocked with a nice selection of local spirits and other favorites. My partner and I stopped in for a quick nibble for lunch on Sunday and this was perfect. My partner went with the Caprese sandwich, which is served on a pressed ciabatta with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spinach, pesto mayo, and balsamic. It was simple and tasty, and I was lucky enough to get a couple bites! I went with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which was also simple, but packed with flavor. It had all the obvious ingredients with the addition of pickles, which added such a nice briny little punch and really hit the spot. Something worth noting: both of our items were ordered from the laminated menu at the register, not in the beautiful leather-bound Aurora Bar menu, which appears to be an evening menu with cocktails and other tasty food items. For drinks, I went with an espresso tonic; the slight bitterness of the quinine plays really nicely against the bold espresso, and it's one of those combinations that's refreshing in a way that's hard to explain until you try it. One small note for the team: the Riverside location has always had a real warmth and cohesion to the staff that I haven't quite felt at Bristol. It's not a dealbreaker by any stretch, but a little more energy behind the counter would go a long way. Still a five-star spot, as the coffee and the space more than make up for it.

Yesterday I went in for my coffee that I've been drinking for the past 35 years: two shots of espresso with a splash of oat milk over ice. A staff member came out from the back and began yelling at me at the counter. I am a faculty member at Roger Williams and I was there with a student and line was to the door behind me. "that's a latte! you're just being cheap! I know its a Tik Tok Hack!" I'm 56. I've never been on Tik Tok. I wasn't trying to "hack" anything. I just wanted a splash of oatmilk in my $4 2 oz coffee. I told her I didn't know what she was going on about ridiculing in front of everyone in the restaurant. Then, she rolled her eyes and told me "I'll give you a thimble-full. That's it.!" My coffee came out completely black. She didn't even put enough in to change the color. seriously, what is wrong with people? if I was not there with the Student, I would have walked out.

Our waitress was very attentive and apologetic and we felt badly for her. The restaurant did not charge us for any part of the meal, to its credit, and we left a large tip for the poor waitress.

Great location, nice bagels, friendly staff, simple in-store system!…read more We went to Bristol Bagel Works to have a bagel lunch after visiting Blithewold, which is about three minutes away. This shop has a great location, right in the center of downtown. The bagels were very yummy. I had a salmon, cream cheese, tomato, and capers sandwich. My spouse had a pepper turkey, cheese, and some other things sandwich. The kids had poppy seed bagels, toasted with butter. Everyone was happy! Some of us had brought water bottles with us, and others had drinks from the chiller case. You order at the register, give your name, and then they call it out from the counter to the right when it's ready. Very easy! Warm and welcoming staff! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. My one qualm with the bagels is that they use corn meal on their peels/board/sheets. Corn meal acts as ball bearings to slide dough more easily, but corn meal also burns easily! So, although my sesame bagel had the a great chew, it had a ring of burn on the bottom. I'd love for Bristol Bagel Works to try switching to semolina flour -- still great for the sliding, but it won't burn until a higher temperature!

I've never brought someone here for a cozy breakfast meal and had them not enjoy it. Located on the main drag with lots of street parking, it's easy to have a slow, small town morning mozying to the nearby gift shops and restaurants after your stop here.

It's a small space, especially now that it has to compete for room with Chomp next door; so it's pretty lively. You enter the cafe through the porch, which is screened in in winter for year-round dining. Once inside, you place your order and sit either on the porch or at some tables near the parking lot. The lot is made of seashells and is on the water so the ambiance is actually very nice. They'll call you when your drinks are ready so you can add cream or sugar yourself, but they usually bring food out to you. First of all, their chai is amazing. So good. They have different flavors; I'm a big fan of the vanilla chai. My dad LOVES their cappuccinos. I've had bit sweet and savory crepes here, and they're all great. They have some you can order on the menu but there is a big make-your-own menu with a whole slew of options. Usually I get the Brie, fruit, and honey crepe, it's so light, sweet; and summery!

This Saturday my girlfriend & I decided to take the 45 min drive to have our Saturday morning coffee. We both ordered a latte, she liked hers (medium vanilla latte). I ordered a Large uncranky yankee latte with almond milk. It was good but a bit strong. So maybe 1/2 way through it was getting a bit strong so I thought a little extra almond milk would be perfect. So I patiently waited for one of the barista's to come out with an order & I nicely asked if she could just add a splash of almond milk for me. Immediately I was treated with a rude attitude. She grabbed my coffee without saying a word and just brought it inside & closed the door. i was waiting outside for about a good 5 minutes (while they still brought out other orders) and still no coffee. My girlfriend assumed maybe they just forgot, so she goes Inside to ask about the coffee & they just responded with I know as they continued to go clean and do other things. A few moments later. I finally get my coffee, she came outside and said my order with an annoyance in her voice & placed it on the table Avoiding eye contact. Now I finally get my coffee and it is extremely melted & pretty much filled all the way up with almond milk. Frustrated I walked away with my coffee. At this point the coffee that I paid over $8 for was disgusting and I probably had at least 2 shots of espresso less. So now I go inside and still trying to be nice explained the situation and asked if they could remake my coffee, even just a small this time so I could enjoy my caffeine. They took my order, said okay. They go in the back and I could see them whispering & making dirty looks clearly complaining about me. She finally comes back & tells me I can wait for it outside. Once again as they bring it outside, they do not acknowledge me or apologize, just put my coffee on table & quickly walked away. I don't normally write negative reviews and I have been talking highly of coastal roasters for years. I just cant believe the awful customer service & experience I had there this saturday. Especially when I never complained and just nicely asked for a little bit more almond milk.
