    This review is for the Puffcake Popup. I really hope this sticks around! I think it's been about a year and it's still very popular. We booked reservations for 9am and there were only a few tables occupied when we arrived, but by the time we left there were tons of people waiting outside. Not sure if they had reservations or not. Our server was very nice but definitely seemed busy and we occasionally had to wait for a while but it was all worth it. The fancy iced lattes are fabulous. I had a coconut ube one and loved it. Also loved the tropical souffle pancakes. The passion fruit syrup was very thick and sweet and I recommend dipping your fork in there and then into bites of pancake rather than pouring it all over, but that's just me. I've knocked off a star because I think it's honestly kinda pricey for brunch but definitely fun for a treat. Overall it was a nice experience and I'd come back again.

    We visited Capri during breakfast specifically for their soufflé pancakes, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The vibe was spot on, the drinks were thoughtfully crafted, and the food was absolutely worth the trip. We ordered sides of hash browns and bacon. The hash browns were perfectly crispy...exactly how I like them. The bacon had great flavor, though I personally would have loved it a little crispier. Of course, the star of the show was the soufflé pancakes. We tried the Crème Brûlée, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Berry Compote flavors, and every single one was light, fluffy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. They were sweet without being overwhelming and perfectly suited our palate. I also tried the pistachio coffee. It was a little more earthy than I typically prefer, but if you're a fan of pistachio-forward flavors, you'll likely enjoy it. Overall, Capri delivered an exceptional breakfast experience.

    Went to Capri for their puff cake breakfast special and wow, what a great experience! My mom and I had seen videos of the extraordinary breakfasts online and knew we just had to check it out. We made a reservation online for the main dining room and were seated promptly when we arrived. Our server Angela was very attentive and friendly and took great care of us. My mom ordered the Dubai chocolate latte and I got the crème brûlée latte. Both were delicious, but I preferred the crème brûlée was my personal favorite. For food, we got a sharing plate with a French toast cube and a puff cake. The French toast cube had a berry compote and ricotta cheese, and the puff cake had a delicious vanilla custard and strawberries on top. Both were delicious, but the puff cake really stood out to me. I'd definitely recommend this place as a great special occasion breakfast for anyone with a sweet tooth!

    This place is so good! From the customer service down to the actual meal, everything always meets or exceeds my expectations. The vibe is so cute and cozy, very welcoming for events or just a simple date. I love to get a mini bowl with broccoli, potatoes, crab legs, corn and mussels with their the mix flavor.

    Review is for puffcake popup, not seafood. Been seeing these viral puff cakes on my socials for a minute and decided to finally try them for myself. Making a reservation online was easy peasy and so was parking since it was a Sunday and free :) Immediately greeted and seated for our reservation. Our server Destiny was prompt, friendly and energetic. All the staff were kind and friendly to be honest. We started out with some nifty lattes and a chocolate bomb hot cocoa that was as entertaining as it was delicious. Then came the puff cakes. The s'mores had a liquid chocolate topping that flowed like lava. The strawberry was smothered in custard and berries, and the plain were as advertised. Even though the smothered versions aren't quite as healthy, the toppings helped add some needed flavor. The light and airy risen puff cake by itself is a bit plain just like a regular plain pancake would be and just need a little something to add some flavor; even if it's just some maple syrup. I will add that the custard and chocolate topping by themselves were really tasty. All in all it was a wonderful experience that I look forward to trying again in the future!

    Good every single time! Food is great service is good. Cute but small place. Parking is limited.

    Rating: 4.0 Came to try this place for breakfast as they are offering Japanese pancake during specific days. Usually this place is cajun seafood boil place so this review will only cover their Japanese pancake offering. It's a restaurant located on federal hill. Parking can be difficult to find but we were able to find some parkings on the street beside the restaurant. They have covered patio and inside is rather smaller area with some seatings, counter and a bar. They seem to be busy so we did have our reservation which we made about hour prior to coming to the location. I would recommend for those that want to come here. Once we arrived we were immediately sat down and looked through their menu. They offer variety of Japanese fluffy pancake paired with sweets and fruits or savory option as well. They offer some drinks mainly lattes and juice. I ended up getting the breakfast scramble pancake and hot cocoa bomb. Food came out first. The breakfast came with 2 fluffy pancake, scrambled eggs with scallions, home fries, sausage, onions, and maple syrup. The pancake was fluffy and paired well with the sides. I feel like though something like hollandaise sauce would have taken the dish up a notch instead of just simple maple syrup. The hot cocoa bomb was interesting as you get the cup with marshmallow rim and a chocolate ball where you pour hot milk yo melt and mix the chocolate. Conceptually fun but chocolate wasn't great quality and didn't mix well and marshmallow rim was hard to eat. Taste was ok it ended up tasting like light chocolate and more milk since chocolate didn't mix well. Service was good and staffs were nice. The order came out in about 5-10 minutes Overall I think the place is ok. Definitely has its own place in RI because of the Japanese pancake offering which we don't see a-lot of place do yet. But aside from that food was ok and price was expensive for what they offer. I ended up paying about $80 for 2 pancake and drinks. I had Japanese fluffy pancake and drinks for about half of that price in Japan that was better quality. If you want Japanese fluffy pancake and can't make it yourself this is the place at least for now.

    We made reservations online and were seated immediately upon arrival. It was pouring rain and even though we had selected a patio seat, they had the flexibility to seat us inside, which we appreciated. (FYI the patio is covered so we could have sat outside) We knew exactly what we wanted so we placed our drink and pancake order and eagerly awaited for them to arrive. While we knew the soufflé pancakes would take about 25ish minutes to prepare, as stated on their menu, we weren't expecting our drinks to take 30 minutes to arrive. Our soufflé pancakes arrived minutes after our drinks, so we were able to enjoy them together. This extended wait time was the only downside of our visit today. We LOVED our soufflé pancakes, they are unlike anything we have tried before. The fresh fruit and toppings are equally as delicious and my tropical paradise came with a house made passion fruit maple syrup, which was outstanding. Definitely worth the hype.

    This past weekend, Rhode Island's first soufflé pancake experience by Puffcake began their pop-up at Capri Seafood Friday - Sunday from 10am-2pm (or until sold out-Limited quantities daily). On social media, I saw that the Japanese soufflé pancakes were sold out by 11:30am-12:00pm on Saturday, so I stopped by on Sunday, June 15th about 9:50am and there was already a queue outside Capri Seafood. At 10am, the doors opened and the hostess sat groups timed apart. This was my first time at Capri Seafood and the restaurant is very spacious. There is an outside patio with plenty of tables and seating inside. We got seated at 10:40am inside and by 11:00am, we were enjoying our drinks and Japanese soufflé pancakes. Paola was our server and she was very pleasant. I ordered the dragonberry matcha and tropical paradise soufflé pancakes. The dragonberry matcha had matcha, whole milk, dragon fruit, and strawberry infused cold foam. The drink was aesthetically pleasing and very good. The matcha was definitely a higher grade. Now, time for the pancakes. The pancakes are made fresh to order. The soufflé pancakes were jiggly, soft, fluffy, and airy, just like how the pancakes were when I had it in Japan. It is very on par, but maybe the pancakes in Japan were a little more airy since their eggs and ingredients are different, very negligible difference. Every bite melts in your mouth. The kiwi, strawberry, and mango were fresh. The syrup was tangy and zesty. It was very well done and so glad we can find Japanese soufflé pancakes right in Providence. I saw on social media on Sunday, the pancakes were sold out again. My husband had the Crème brûlée latte and the breakfast soufflé pancakes. He said both were very good. Though, he preferred the sweet pancakes over the savory pancakes. Puffcake pop-up at Capri Seafood is definitely worth checking out. If you do not want to wait too long, then definitely get there early and be on the queue. The soufflé pancake experience with drinks by Puffcake is definitely worth the wait!

    What if you combined the worst things about bad French toast (the eggy, mushy taste and mouth feel) with pancakes? You get the Puffcake that's apparently all the rage on TikTok and Instagram and selling out the seafood restaurant first shift every day with reservation only enthusiasts from hypeville. $6 for 3/4 of a little glass of "hand pressed" orange juice? You got it. Service that's super slow, but friendly? Sure. $50 for inflated eggy, puffy pancakes and bacon for two? This is your place. It's not mine for sure. You may love it, however, especially if you're a millennial or Gen Z, and easily impressed by social media eating exploits. Enjoy. I want my hour and 10 minutes back.

    It had been a while since I'd been to Capri. Stopped by on a Friday night for a seafood boil. Took some time to find parking. Staff was nice & service was fast. Cocktails were really good, and the seafood boil was good, although it could've used more sauce. We ordered the capri calamari, and it's been a couple years since I had it, but I do remember it being tossed in the sweet chili sauce. They served the sauce on the side, and it's def better tossed in the sauce. Overall it was a good experience, but it's not my favorite place for a seafood boil. I can get more bang for my buck in other places. My fave part of the meal was the cocktails.

    Super cold weather perfect for some trendy breaky day~ parking was available today, and the walk was very chilly. Not too hard to find since the door way and big capri sign is prominent ~ we held a reservation and were seated quickly, since online it stated that reservations were recommended due to the hype of the pancakes trend. Place looks small and they are only open for the puffcake pop-up from 10am-12pm and regular service of Capri at 1pmServer was kind and very attentive. While she took my order, she solely focused on each person~ For drinks I ordered the hot s'more latte and for the meal, an ultimate breakfast that has bacon, hash brown, and a Puffcake. I also ordered a banana foster sauce side to get some sauce variety~ my latte was warm and cozy, and very pretty. The pancakes were very fluffy and sweet. Glad I ordered the savory menu because I wanted something somewhat healthy with protein. I ordered the side foster on the side and it was banana with syrup. My meal was enjoyable and pretty! Outstanding and worth the line outside? Not really. Felt like I was here for the pictures, which I was drawn too~ The service was very good though~ kind, attentive and prompt.

    Came in for the soufflé pancakes after seeing them on Instagram -- and they didn't disappoint. Loved that the menu was simple and straight to the point. Right at the top, it clearly states: "Your order will take 25 minutes as it's freshly prepared," which sets expectations upfront -- a thoughtful touch. They focus on what they do best: soufflé pancakes, a handful of house coffee drinks, and two alcoholic options. I ordered the crème brûlée latte -- the real test is whether they torch the sugar. They did, and it was perfect. A great balance of caramelized sugar and smooth coffee. Only recommendation: go lighter on the ice, as it waters down the experience too quickly. Also had the peach Bellini, which was another hit -- bursting with flavor and reminded me of a passionfruit (parcha) drink. The soufflé crème brûlée pancake was light, fluffy, and full of that rich crème brûlée flavor, complete with a caramelized top. Added a side of hash browns -- nicely crisped and served hot alongside the rest of the meal. Surprisingly, everything came out in under 15 minutes despite the 25-minute heads-up -- impressive. The team worked efficiently, and the atmosphere was relaxed. A great spot for a laid-back Sunday brunch date.

First of all, the restaurant itself is small but very cute, cozy, and full of lovely New England-y Sea-Themed decor. We were promptly seated and had our order taken for our drinks & food - I had heard good things about this place, so I got a decent amount of food items, including: Lobster Roll - Arguably the best lobster roll I've ever had so far in my life. The brioche bun for it was soooo fluffy, soft, and a perfect complement to the big, juicy chunks of lobster that were seasoned and buttered JUST right. Also came with hefty and well-seasoned fries. New England Clam Chowder - Came with salted pork and potatoes in addition to the quahog clams. It was deliciously creamy and soothing to slurp on and the chunks within were all so tender and a great contrast. Clam Cakes - Added them to the Clam Chowder order for an extra $8. Big, hefty, doughy balls that were perfectly fried outside and ooey gooey within. Fish & Chips - Big, hefty fish that was juicy & delicious with a great crunch on the outside! Similarly came with the 'chips', or the hefty, well-seasoned fries that the lobster roll also came with. Oh yeah, pardon me, forgetting to mention the drinks! We ordered the Briny Martini and the Harbor House Punch! The Martini was great for a stronger drink and the Punch was a nice cocktail for anyone preferring something sweeter and fruitier. When it came to the food, service, and dining experience...it couldn't have been better! Everything was incredibly delicious and definitely worth ordering. This memorable experience then reached exceptional circumstances, however, as while we were in the middle of dining here and enjoying our delicious food, there was a shooting occurring just up the street at Brown University. I wish to commend the staff at Dune Brothers, who looked out for mine and their other patrons' safety and sheltering us in their restaurant as we all nervously waited for more information on what exactly was going on that evening. Exceptional circumstances aside, this restaurant is also exceptional when it comes to the quality of their food and service. I highly recommend coming here if you're in Providence!

The Old Bay Fries were deliciously crispy and satisfying. Good try overall!

Despite the challenges of navigating Providence during the World Cup festivities and the Cape Verde Festival in the Fox Point area, we managed to get to the restaurant and secure that last table. We are incredibly grateful to the staff at Aguardente for helping turn our evening around. Our daughter and son-in-law were hoping to enjoy one last dinner with both families before leaving on Monday for a special assignment in South Carolina, and the unexpected closure of our original restaurant had left everyone feeling frustrated and disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the team at Aguardente made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, the drinks were wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Most importantly, they helped transform what had begun as a stressful evening into a memorable celebration with family. Thank you to everyone at Aguardente for your kindness, hospitality, and professionalism. You made our families smile and created a special memory during an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend Aguardente and look forward to returning. -- A very grateful family

    Atmosphere: cute outdoor seating area for summer nights. The inside has cool decor (including a…read morebathroom that apparently won an award??), but is very small and cramped. The upper 'porch' like area looks really fun, but the table we were seated at was so close to the other tables I was uncomfortable. I get that we're in a city, but I value my personal space and privacy and felt like the whole restaurant could hear my every word - ick. Service: our server seemed annoyed that I didn't want an alcoholic drink, and was not very helpful. Half of the menu is not in English (very chaotic how some portions are in English and others are not, it doesn't seem consistent), so we had some questions, such as "what does x taste like?" and the only response we got was "not too sweet"....okay, but what DOES it taste like? She spoke very fast and I couldn't understand her listing off the specials, even though she didn't really have an accent. She left partway through while we were there so I guess she was just at the end of her shift and checked out, but it was so offputting how rude and unhelpful she was. When our servers transitioned, we offered to cash out then since we weren't getting anything else and wanted the original server to get her tips, but she started joking around that we didn't have to do that - which I appreciate, but we actually did want to get going and get cashed out, but she refused to give us our check. I asked three times and she still wouldn't 'let us do that'...very weird. Food: there were not a ton of vegetarian options that appealed to me. I went a little overboard on plantains by accident, which is my mistake. I first ordered the Rellenitos with cilantro crema sauce, which were very good and a flavor combination I wasn't expecting. The dough to filling ratio was a little off and they were pretty dry inside, so I needed a lot of the sauce. An order only came with 2 and I wish it was more. I'm glad I ordered something else - Tula Fries, which came with the same exact cilantro creme sauce as the Rellenitos, even though they are described differently on the menu, which felt lazy to repeat a sauce. The sauce didn't go well with them at all in my opinion so I did not enjoy these as much as I would've liked. My friend enjoyed her drink, but thought almost all of the meat on her meat and cheese board was either low quality or close to going bad. It was priced reasonably, which we were shocked by, but she couldn't eat a good portion of it sadly. We did really enjoy the baked flava bean snack that was a part of it. The board weirdly came with just half of one small, half rotten strawberry that looked terrible - it would've been better to leave it off. Towards the end of the night, there was so much water on the floor in the hallway that goes to the bathroom and passes the kitchen - I had to walk through it to go to the bathroom, which felt like a safety hazard. My friend was on crutches and wouldn't even try to get over there since we knew she'd slip on all the water. It just looked terrible and was dangerous, so not sure what we going on that there was such a water issue there. Their specialties and more meat based dishes are probably great, but there just aren't a ton of things for me to eat here. I'd be willing to try it again for drinks and apps if the service wasn't so unwelcoming.

    Visited on a rainy day. The restaurant is located at a lovely location by the beach. Ordered…read morethrough touchscreen at the counter. Clam cakes were tasty, freshly fried, with lovely crisp skin but not much clam. Asked the nice counter lady to recommend the version of doughboy to try and she suggested original or cinnamon sugar. Selected cinnamon sugar on the side. The original, quite fluffy, was somewhat bland tasting. Dusting with cinnamon sugar elevated both texture and taste. The doughs were light with a beautiful golden brown glow. Rhode Island clear chowder (extra broth) was okay but could be better.

We usually have dinner next door at the restaurant, and before heading home we walk over to Iggy's to grab a box of fresh doughboys to take with us. Somehow there's always room for doughboys. One of the things I appreciate most is the consistency. It doesn't seem to matter how busy they are, the doughboys are almost always fresh out of the fryer. They're light, golden brown, and cooked just right. I've never had one that was burnt, greasy, or raw in the middle. They strike a nice balance between having a crisp exterior and a soft, fluffy center, and they're generously dusted with enough sugar to satisfy a sweet tooth without making a complete mess. The menu has plenty of classic Rhode Island favorites if you're looking for chowder, clam cakes, or other seafood, but for us it's always about the doughboys. They've become part of the ritual whenever we're at Oakland Beach, and it's one tradition we don't plan on changing anytime soon. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because this place is incredibly popular, especially during the warmer months. Depending on when you go, you may find yourself standing in line for a while. That's not necessarily a knock on the business because a busy restaurant usually says something about its reputation, but it's worth knowing if you're in a hurry. The prices are fair, the staff keeps the line moving as efficiently as they can, and the quality has remained remarkably consistent over the years. That's becoming increasingly rare. If you're spending the day at Oakland Beach and leave without stopping at Iggy's for doughboys, I think you're missing out on one of the area's best traditions. We'll definitely keep coming back.
