    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.

    Light Weight Protein Shake (skim milk, protein and strawberries)

    Classic coffee spot, friendly staff, while intimate and limited seating when busy, the food and coffee make it well worth it!

    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.

    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.

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

    I first came to this Muffin House about five years ago on the morning of my wedding, and I still…read moreremember the experience like it was yesterday. I was all dolled up and so excited, and the woman working that morning was genuinely one of the friendliest people I had ever met. She made my order with so much care and love, and everything was absolutely amazing. The egg sandwiches here are seriously some of the best I've ever had. When you order an egg and cheese sandwich, you might expect one little flat egg, but they give you a HUGE amount of perfectly scrambled eggs. It's honestly incredible! This location isn't close to my house, so I don't get here as often as I'd like. I came back about a year later, though, and that same wonderful woman was still here--and she actually remembered me! That meant so much to me. She has a way of making you feel welcomed and loved the second you walk through the door, almost like you're family. I've probably been here around a dozen times now, and every single visit has been amazing. The muffins are delicious, the egg sandwiches are incredible, the coffee is great, and the customer service is truly unmatched. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Five stars all the way around! If you're looking for a place where the food is amazing and you're treated like family, this is absolutely the place to go.

We order A LOT from here for our corporate parties, meetings and for lunch. They have a variety of unique muffins and bagels. My favorite are the mini muffins and I can't decide between the Oreo cheesecake or the cinnamon cheesecake being my favorite. For lunch, I usually order a BLT on an asiago bagel... so freaking good, as B will always say she makes it with love!! And while you're there, please be sure to pick up an iced vanilla chai, they make it THE best!!! The bakery is always clean, tables are always ready and clean for the next customer. I'm not sure why they have a few negative reviews (which I read) and it's far from the truth. This business is women and minority owned and does so much for her clients and community, especially during the holidays! she will always have my support. This is a place where you come and automatically feel like FAMILY.

I…read morewas warmly greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was happy to explain which iced coffee options were available and what was gluten free. I ordered an egg and cheese on a gluten-free everything bagel, which was delicious. They happened to be out of dairy milk, so my choices for my iced coffee were non-dairy milk or cream. I went with cream. The coffee was good, though not my favorite of the competition so far. I loved the playful duck theme throughout the shop. It gave the space a fun personality. The café was busy during my visit, and the team was also working through a new POS system that slowed things down a bit. Even with the technical hiccups, everyone stayed friendly, patient, and helpful while troubleshooting. Overall, it was a welcoming first visit with good food, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere. I'd definitely stop back to try more of the menu.

I really shouldn't rave so much because it's already so packed...but there are my 2 cents!

    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!
