    Mocha thingy with hazelnut deliciousness
    Peter M.

    The egg white breakfast sandwich is actually amazing. It is a filling sandwich to say the least. Walked from the Marina so I wasn't really in the mood for coffee so I went with a blended mocha thingy and whatever hazelnut stuff they put in this is fantastic. The barista is extremely easy on the eyes as well. Great visit.

    The FIREHOUSE breakfast sandwich
    Kent S.

    Rating: 4.0 Came to try this breakfast and coffee spot. Its pretty small was Sunday lunch time and was very busy. The parking lot can become a bit hectic as they have a drive through as well and parking spots are arranged around it. The parkings were full but after 2 rounds we did find one spot to park so we went inside. Inside was very busy as well filled with people waiting for their order. It has few seatings, coffee bar area and counter to place your order. I ordered hot mocha and the firehouse breakfast sandwich. Since it was busy i expected to take a while for our food and drinks to come out but we only had to wait about 5 minutes or so. Hot mocha was okay. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good. It came with two jumbo egg, ham and cheddar cheese on jalapeño bagel. It was wasn't that spicy but was ok. Service was good and quick. Looks like lots of younger people work at the place. Overall the place is a solid breakfast and coffee spot. It may feel a bit chaotic when it's busy but quick service makes it easier to navigate. May opt for drive through next time as experience may be different there.

    Omg! I come to this area a lot to visit my partner,, so I've seen this cafe on passing. This spot has been on my list to visit and today I found a good opportunity to venture to try~ I was surprised to see this place busy with even a drive through that wasn't that visible in afternoons, but mornings is very visible with cars wrapping around cafe. There is also spots available within the lot. The interior was small with plenty of counter side space to sit. Obviously this is a popular place. I ordered a small ice coffee and a New England sandwich which has Turkey, cranberry and cheese. My meal was savory and tasty, and the coffee was perfect to me, on the sweeter side. I had such a great experience ~ we snagged a seat, and the food was handed to us over the counter since we found counter side seating. This place seems like a local fav, and as future local, I can't wait to try the drive thru myself next time.

    Protein shake, and fresh fruit salad
    Kerri L.

    What a wonderful surprise this cozy restaurant is! Located right around the corner from Kent County Hospital, it is conveniently accessed right before the rotary and features a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. Inside, the cathedral ceilings and air conditioning make the space appear and feel airy. Everything is clean, and the staff are friendly and pleasant. I ordered a half ham and Swiss sandwich on rye bread with a small fruit salad and a protein shake. The fresh fruit included strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and melon. Everything was delicious, and it was affordably priced at $20 for my entire order. They also have gluten-free options, cozy, seating inside, and seating outside on their patio under the overhang. If you were in a rush, they also have a drive-through. I will definitely be back!

    Medium Iced Café Caramel
    Kaylee B.

    I only tried this place once & I only tried an iced caramel latte so this isn't a full scope of the place. I'm not from here but when I'm in town visiting my husband's family I like to try as many different local spots I can. The location itself was very cute with nice indoor and outdoor seating. The staff I interacted with was pleasant and the drink was just fine. Not anything amazing but not gross and I drank about half of it before I was over it. I'd definitely try it more than once if I lived close.

    First time entering Cafe Tempo the appearance is clean, great seating, clear menus, friendly service which I will give a 5 out of 5. Now the flavor of the coffee and the sandwich was a 3 out of 5. I asked for an extra shot of espresso in the French vanilla ice latte and it taste more of milk with a very small hint of coffee. The coffee comes with 2 shots of espresso for a medium I ordered it with 3 shots of espresso definitely needed 4 or less milk.

    Burnt bagel - no cream cheese.
    Tess B.

    This place just never gets better. Maybe they're too busy, maybe they just don't care. Reality is by the time I drove away I was out $6 and out breakfast. Go elsewhere.

    Lox sandwich
    Arthur S.

    I stopped in during the week around 10:30 AM. There was a fairly decent sized line, but it moved rather quickly. The parking lot is on a busy corner lot, but easy to get in and out. I tried the firehouse and the lox sandwich. Both were fresh, hot and flavorful bagel sandwiches. I would definitely recommend this little cafe, it has to be one, if not the the best bagel shops in RI.

    Croissant
    Elijah S.

    What a neat place! The croissants were gas! The best croissants I've ever had! All the staff were efficient and kind, and the interior was neat, smelled great in there, and there was plenty of seating. Will 100% be coming again!

    Bagels are amazing and the veggie cream cheese is awesome. They even have a drive up window which makes things so easy.

Upon arrival the room was at 68 (below 30 outside) soooo turned that sucker up. Put it on 74 and thought it would warm up overnight. Arrived pretty late, after 11pm. To my suppose the room was still at 68. And getting out of a warm bed to that was not my idea of a good morning. I called the front desk and the agent confirmed I was using the right thermostat to control the temp and noted that maintenance would check it. That was fixed as when I returned it was a nice balmy 76! Downside though was the unit did an odd cycling thing with warm air....cold air...warm air. So it never shut off at night and tan the entire time. Their drive way is odd, one way only and Tuesday morning there was a delivery truck blocking the exit. Thankfully no one else was behind us so we were able to back out. The room felt very industrial. Concrete walls and high ceilings, with an almost open concept bathroom. Barn door and the shower was a waterfall (over head) with hand held option thankfully. If you've got curtly hair, you know why a waterfall shower is the worst. And to ere was no shower cap as an option. The shower itself did not go all the way to the ceiling which also meant there was no barrier between you and the room. If share with a partner may not be bad but with friends, that's a nightmare. Other downside was the lock was funky. When leaving for dinner, thank goodness I checked the lock as it did not lock. I had to open the door and mess with it to finally lock. All in all decent hotel however I can't say I'd stay again.

    In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

The fries were great, sandwiches were also really good! Would like to come back and get one of their main dishes as they all sounded pretty good. We got the bread pudding for dessert (sorry forgot the photo) but that was really good!! Would get again.

There is no 'handicapped parking' specifically for Gel's due to the way the parking lot is designed. There is a small vestibule between the outside and the inside where you will find a community food pantry. Take something if you need it, or leave something for your neighbors. This is such a lovely offering and very much in line with Gel's local community mind set. The doors into the vestibule are heavy glass and metal. Seat yourself in one of the booths. When they remodeled they added a small bar to the back area if you prefer counter seating. They offer a variety of mimosa flavors at breakfast and beer and wine at lunch. Although I suppose if you want a beer with your eggs, have at it. The front and side walls have large windows making the interior bright. They offer so many specials. Check out all the white boards on the back wall above the counter seating. These are in addition to their standard menu. Breakfast items include egg based meals (eggs & bacon & toast for ex.), pancakes, hash and lots of al la carte sides. Coffee is good and comes with free refills. The lunch menu includes sandwiches, salads, soups, wraps and they have a kids menu too. They also offer Kino if you like. They sell Gel's merch (holiday gifts?) and decorate for all the holidays.
