The carrot cake and banana crème are my hands down favorites, but the lemon cake is very closely behind. Even items like scones that aren't typically amongst my favorites, are made very well. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you go there and see something you think you would enjoy, get it! It'll likely be top 5 on your all-time list.

Food: four stars We got a fruit tart and a chocolate cake…read more Both tasted okay. For fruit cakes my top choice is still the fruit Mille crepe at Harbs. Service: five stars The staffs were welcoming. We asked for a less sweet cake and they introduced all cakes to us. Ambiance: five stars The store itself was small with one or two benches for indoor seating. They have two benches outdoor as well.

I highly recommend the pistachio cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was not too heavy, with a perfect amount of pistachio flavor. The buttercream frosting was light, fluffy and perfectly sweet.

Scialo Bros Bakery is an Italian style bakery in the Federal Hill section of Providence. I've been…read morea few times over the years, most recently last weekend. They sell fresh filled cannolis, cakes, cookies, pastries, etc. The small shop has a classic feel. On this visit, I just bought a box of cannolis. They had an option of a traditional filling, or with chocolate chips. They also had options for capping the ends. I chose chocolate chips for the chocolate chip filling, and pistachio for the traditional filling. I tried the traditional with pistachio. The shell is lighter than most of the places where I've bought cannolis. The filling was mildly sweet, very smooth and had a very slight fruit flavor. Perhaps from orange zest? In my experience, Scialo Bros is a cool place to visit and has good treats.

Love the vibe here. I've been to Europe a few times and this has an exact feel as a patisserie in…read moreEurope. However, prices are not even close. I ordered an apple tart and a small piece was $7.50! Yes, it was good, and the cream was wonderful, but paying about $2 per bite is outrageous. The value of their drinks might be a little better. I ordered a Cortado and it was delicious. The volume of liquid wasn't too low. $4.25 I would give it 3 stars, but I know not everyone is good with money and many are willing to pay these prices on the east side Providence. The staff was nice, but nothing over the top.

Met up with some friends at Madrid on a Saturday. With so many good reviews we were excited to try…read morethis location. Sadly it wasn't a very good experience. First, the young woman who took care of us seemed to keep 'checking out', as in, she seemed to temporarily fall asleep with her eyes open. She would become non-responsive and we'd just wait for her to acknowledge us and then repeat what we said. So that's weird. Even after she said 'OK' and went over to the register to ring it all in, we had to repeat the order, again. The Americano coffee was not made correctly. It literally tasted like dirty water. Definitely did not use the appropriate amount of espresso in this drink. The Mocha was not blended correctly and was grainy with a lot of sediment at the bottom of the cup. I was unable to finish drinking that. The friends we met up with mentioned they are surprised how many tables were open on a Saturday. In the past there was 'always a line' of people ordering and waiting for a table. During our visit there were several empty tables. The pastry were very tasty though, so that was nice. They do have a nice selection of pastry available and we might try some more of those offerings another time. The ambiance is very cute. Bus your own tables. On street parking.

I went in once before and asked for a pizza strip and lemon square and did get the pizza strip but got some kind of almond cookie instead of the lemon square? I tried to connect with them on it but no luck. I also had an iced coffee on that visit and it was awful. I went back today for an iced coffee since I was in the area and the coffee was definitely better this time around but still mediocre. If you're visit here, I'd suggest not getting coffee and checking your bag of goodies before you leave and then this will be a 5 star experience.

They…read moreshould be airy, light, crunchy, flaky, buttery...but often they are doughy or insubstantial or greasy or too soft. Butterbang's are actually perfect. The best I have ever had! That's saying a lot because I have sampled many, many croissants. The Yum roll was melt-in-your- mouth delicious with the perfect balance of sweet with a hint of salt, crunchy around the edges and topped with a delightful creamy drizzle of caramel. The plain croissants were perfectly fluffy and flaky. The almond square was pure heaven with a deep almond flavored frangipane surrounded by crunchy layers. The bakery itself is really cute. You can get a chance to meet the owner and gaze upon the glorious bounty of pastries available. You do have to subscribe to order so check out the Butterbang instagram.

It's a small pop-up style bakery with a cozy feel, perfect for grabbing pastries and a good coffee to start your morning or treat yourself mid-day.
