The inside is very clean and cute. They had a cute little display of beaded flowers for purchase. I got the cinnamon crunch cold brew with almond milk it was delicious. I got the chicken Caesar wrap for lunch and I have to saw that was probably the best one I've had in a long time. The chicken was grilled which I normally don't care for but because there were croutons is just added that crunch. It was delicious and I can't wait to go back. It is great to support local businesses!

Good was good, they made an egg white omelette w extra, at our request. The special drinks were good too. I like that they were served in to go containers. Oatmeal cookie had a little extra cinnamon (my fav) & the fig bar was oooey gooey goodness

I cannot say enough good things about the Cornerstone Bakery and Restaurant. My sister and I went…read moreearly on Super Bowl Sunday and were seated quickly. The restaurant isn't the biggest, so I would recommend it most for parties of 4 or under that way everyone can be seated comfortably and quickly. In my opinion, the best thing at Cornerstone is the Portuguese sweet bread French toast. It is sweet and delicious and I have yet to find anything like it at other breakfast places I've tried. Better yet, on your way out, you can grab a sweet bread to take home so the deliciousness can continue at home. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope to be back soon!

My kids absolutely tore it up, and it was actually the very first bread my youngest has ever eaten. Watching her devour it was such a sweet moment as a mama. The slice of cake we got was phenomenal, and my husband still talks about that cinnamon sugar bun. The first package we tried was a savory one, and my 3-year-old ate the entire bag himself. I honestly couldn't tell you everything that was in it, but he approved with his whole heart, and that's saying something, because he's not a big eater most days. On top of how delicious everything is, the prices are so fair for the quality you get. Pickup was a breeze too! Everything was clean, organized, and nicely lit, so it was easy to see what they were packing for my family. We are huge fans now. I cannot recommend Bread Brazil Bakery enough!

Exceeded my expectations. I got the breakfast bowl special which has farro, peppers, onions,…read morepotatoes, and topped with an egg - it was a really tasty bowl. The ingredients were actually cooked together and well seasoned making for a cohesive dish rather than one of those bowls that just dumps separate ingredients into a bowl that lacks flavor. Would get this again for sure. My only complaint is that my egg was covered in black specs which appeared to be burnt cast iron residue. The honey lavender scone was also great - nice texture - almost biscuit like tbh, and the lavender flavor was a little too subtle for me to really taste, but I still enjoyed it. The place is cute as well but be warned they don't let you use a laptop here which I'm not a fan of. I didn't have a laptop on me but I know a lot of people like to go to cafes and do some work. My friends got sandwiches and they rated them 10/10. The bread looked like they had the perfect texture.

Groundswell feels like the Farm Coast distilled into coffee, cultivation, and restraint. It is rare…read morefor a modern business to bring glamour to a timeless community without making the establishment feel overdressed. In a region defined by salt air, stone walls, and inherited understatement, Groundswell gives the landscape a beautiful new chapter. I have been coming to this part of Rhode Island and Massachusetts for close to four decades, and its magic has always been its refusal to perform. Little Compton, Tiverton, and Westport have an old New England intelligence: practical, coastal, and allergic to excess. The mood is L.L.Bean utility, Patagonia values, and Helly Hansen competence, with a little yacht club literacy and none of the theater. Groundswell respects that world, then adds candlelight, espresso, and French mischief. There is practical brilliance in having a venue this chic nearby, because city slickers inevitably visit, and family members must sometimes be kept happy even when their taste tests our patience. The cafe is the heart of the experience for me. The building was previously The Provender, which we loved, and Groundswell deepened our fondness for that chapter rather than simply replacing what came before it. There is a French ease to the venue, patio, and food, as though someone raised between Paris and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat came to New England, fell hard for its privacy, then built the dream cafe they wished existed. It has continental polish, but the soul is still Rhode Island. Even when the cafe is busy, it works beautifully. The line moves through the building in an intuitive U-shaped flow, showing that someone thought carefully about summer traffic while preserving intimacy. The food comes quickly, but not instantly, and that distinction matters; do not come here in a rush. I am hazy on the full menu, but the yogurt parfait, cinnamon toast, and Caesar salad have stayed with me, and I am pretty sure someone in my family had a turkey and pesto sandwich that looked exactly right. The pace is deliberate, and the point is to savor the coffee, the patio, and people-watching. The pricing feels appropriate, especially for a seasonal business with only a few intense months to make the year work. Nothing feels careless here, which is rare for an experience built so carefully around atmosphere. That sense of intention is what makes it feel polished without becoming stiff. I deeply respect seeing David on site in early July. He is the designer, owner, and operator I recognize as the face of the business, though I am sure many talented people are involved. He is warm, kind, and hands-on, with experience and wisdom evident in a subtle, understated way. He embodies Groundswell's soul and upholds the brand standard in person without making it feel rigid. The broader Groundswell property also makes the whole experience feel original. The shops and garden spaces are intensely charming, with a level of discernment that makes you slow down and look harder. The home goods, gardening pieces, and table settings are so tasteful that I always leave thinking I would be thrilled to have David and his team design my home. I can imagine that eye in the city or near the beach, and just as easily in a country house or alpine retreat. What Groundswell brings to this community is the perfect amount of change. This region is timeless, but every timeless community benefits from careful progress when sprinkled with respect, proportion, and self-awareness. I have not yet been to David's Bristol restaurant, The Franklin, but after seeing the pride he pours into Groundswell, I want to go soon. I do not know the full Groundswell Design Group portfolio, but I suspect this Tiverton project is a crown jewel: something he loves deeply, almost like a child, and the culmination of decades of work, research, and self-criticism; it gives this community French flair, northeastern discernment, and a welcome venue to gather: Très bien!

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.

Walking into Duke's as someone who eats gluten free felt like being a kid in a toy store on Christmas morning. So many incredible options! Even better, there were plenty of soy-free choices for me and dairy-free options for my friend Taylor. Finding a bakery that makes dietary restrictions feel exciting instead of limiting is such a gift. The iced coffee hit the spot, and our Belgian waffle and breakfast sandwich were absolutely delicious. Before leaving, I couldn't resist taking home two of their take-and-bake calzones (and they did not disappoint!) They're huge, packed with flavor and perfect to have on hand. It was also such a pleasure chatting with the owner, who was incredibly welcoming and clearly passionate about what they're creating. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making such amazing food accessible to so many people. Duke's Bakery is absolutely worth the trip and I can't wait to come back to try even more!

Whatever kind of allergy you have, they have you covered! & every single item here is gluten free! For coffee, I had an iced coffee with banana syrup and almond milk. For breakfast I did a breakfast sandwich. I had a fried egg on a dairy free roll with dairy free Gouda and vegan sausage. It's so good! My friends had a breakfast wrap that came with injectable cheese and they had a waffle taco type thing that was a riff on tiramisu. I tried the waffle where there was no topping and it was great! You would never know it was gluten free! As someone who is very lactose intolerant, I obviously left with pastries. I can't wait to come back and try more things!! If you have an allergy and don't want to skimp on flavor and still want to indulge in something decadent, come here! They have a really big parking lot and share with Barrett's. When you park, just pull into the lot a bit further because the entrance to dukes is on the other side of the back of the parking lot!

Maybe it's because the shop is so small it's literally just one room or maybe they're just not used to seeing people of color. I can't say for certain, but that's honestly how it felt every time I walked in. The young baristas are always friendly and welcoming, but the owner comes across as cold and unapproachable. Every visit has been met with blank stares and an expression that makes me feel like I'm inconveniencing them just by being there. After multiple visits, I still haven't felt welcomed. The coffee is pretty mid, and the slices of cake are overpriced for the quality. I kept giving this place another chance, hoping my experience would improve, but unfortunately it never did. A welcoming atmosphere is just as important as good coffee, and this place missed the mark for me.
