What looked unassuming from the outside opened up into a cool, airy Zen space... the kind of place that works perfectly for anything from a casual family breakfast to a cram sesh or even a cute coffee date(hehehe maybe someone's tried it ). I hadn't been back in several months (maybe even close to a year) but I recently returned and was reminded why I loved it in the first place. This time I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich and a leek & Parmesan pastry- both were absolutely fantastic and split between myself and my partner.. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The sandwich alone would've been enough. The vibe here is wonderful!!! Lively with plenty of space to settle in. The staff is warm and accommodating, making you feel right at home. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the service, it's safe to say my experience was nothing short of excellent. Bravo Disclaimers: matcha is unsweetened so get it differently if you're used to (what I now know must be slightly sweetened) Dunks

Yo girl just got back from filming her latest music video. You see Homegirl was first discovered…read moreby Usher on YouTube. Homegirl was greatful for the offer but knew others needed the opportunity more than her. Justin still sends Homegirl thank you cards to this day. Now filming had forced Homegirl to stay as fit as a fox. She didn't dare cheat on her diet and jeopardize the chance of a couple pounds costing her a couple £ (pounds). Mhmmm. She keeping her money green baby. However on the last day of filming yo girl decided to pick up some goodz from seven stars. Like Lil' John, Homegirl decided to leave the Jag and take the Rollz. For months the stacks on stacks in homegirls wallet would send her flashbacks of a flaky croissant with buttery layers. Yo girl waited in the car until she saw somebody walking out because there's nothing worse than touching dirty door handles. When she slithered her way in past the quickly closing door the aroma of coffee, butter and sugar bumped her nostrils. Homegirls fat cells were quaking. The only thing she cared about was that cinnamon sugared bun. Yo girl took her left hand and proceeded to point to it. She gotta let the fellas know her ring finger valued at 4 mil. People be thinking yo girl is a vegetarian with these Karats. Homegirl knew she had to return back to set. More than her will power broke after picking up her pastries, she done broke a pump! Homegirl knew that pair from wardrobe was on its way out so she gave her heel a little twist to secure herself a fre$h pair. Yo girl was hobblin' to her ride and she believed her blood sugar was crashing. She took single, glorious bite of her bun and its sugar kissed her glossy red lips. Buttery layers slid down her throat. Homegirls eyes dialated. She started having flashbacks to 8th grade prom. Her dress wouldn't zip. Her concealed pimple face sucked in with all her might with no avail. Homegirl wore a dated wool sweater over her frilled ball gown. Homegirl couldn't deal with the flashbacks. She brp brpddddddd down the street til she hit 90 and threw her cinnamon roll out the window. She is not yet strong enough to take on the roll. She returned to the movie set and told her staff that the bakery ran out. Yo girl be calling the priest because she needs to confess. Homegirl will get the strength to take a second bite one day. Next time she'll bring her skinny friends. She'll give them some lattes with heavy cream and the fattest pastries money can buy. That way yo girl will only grow a little when they grow a lot.

Not my usual seven stars. I was kind of let down. The free sample table was empty and just had a…read moresign that said "durum bread" and nothing out but crumbs. There was only one person in line in front of me and two workers helping them. Another worker was putting together a to go pastry order. No one acknowledged me waiting. The customers eventually walked away and so did the workers. Another worker came out and immediately went to take the man's order who just walked in. No one asked if I had been helped and when I interrupted her to tell her I was waiting to be helped, she looked at me as if I was the rude one for saying something. It was a strange experience. The seven stars on hope and Broadway are sooooooooo much better.

Oh my! This was my first visit to this lovely cafe and I can't wait to go back. My friend and I…read morevisited for dessert after having dinner nearby, and the pastry case was full of delctable treats, even though it was the end of the day. It was hard to make a decision, but I went with a croissant stuffed with chocolate, fresh strawberries and whipped cream, while my friend went with the Chocolate Mousse Santiago tart. Let me just say, that both were rich, high quality, perfectly prepared, and amazing. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but my friend enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but after I considered the high quality of the ingredients anad the generous sizing, I think their prices are right on target. The cafe eating area is spacious and is perfect for conversations or quiet work. The entire cafe is super clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!

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.

I stopped in here to pick up an order for my husband. The order was ready as expected and I requested for them to gring them for French Press. They did it quickly and off I went.

It's a great-looking spot in RI with a small patio and some limited parking in the back, but the atmosphere felt pretty unwelcoming. To be honest, as a person of color, I felt like we were treated differently than other customers. While the person taking our order was fine, the rest of the staff and even the patrons were snappy and rude, which really killed the vibe. It's a shame because the coffee itself is actually incredible. You can tell they really know what they're doing--the options are expansive and every cup is clearly well-crafted. If you're just in it for a high-quality brew and don't mind a side of cold energy, it might be worth it, but the lack of basic hospitality makes it hard to fully enjoy. A total "vibey" spot on the outside, but definitely lacked the warmth you'd expect from a local coffee shop.

Super flaky and a lot of delicious flavor from the filling and garnishes. It was very busy when I stopped by midday. They were out of some items already (I missed out on trying the French onion croissant before they replaced it with another menu item). I did find a spot to sit outside but I can see it being even harder to find a seat during peak times. It's a bit off the beaten path yet it's known and popular for a reason. I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying more items and of course the coffee!

I heard about this place through a friend and I still can't believe they have been open since 2024…read moreand I've never heard of them! I was sold as soon as I read their menu and saw that they had a Halva latte. This is one of my favorites and I can only get it at cafes near Boston. If you haven't had it, it's a must try. Halva is a sweet confection that is sesame based. Brown Bee definitely delivered on this one. I hope it stays on the menu! My wife had a pistachio latte that is made with homemade pistachio syrup. It was 10/10. We didn't plan on eating, but we did end up getting one of their cinnamon rolls with a homemade cream cheese frosting. It was fantastic! They have plenty of seating and although we waited inline, there were several seats available and we got to enjoy our drinks and cinnamon roll. This place is worth the wait in line. We will be going back again this weekend. I want to try the everything croissant with cream cheese baked inside! We may also try one of their breakfast sandwiches. My only recommendation is that they add little chalk boards for each of the croissants with what they are as they had to keep telling everyone what each one was. Still a 10/10.

And boy did it go well. Let me back track a little bit. This place serves Tea AND they do tattoos. What in the actual HELL, genius! I love love love this idea, and no this place is not sketchy at all, it's is so hip and I freaking love it so much. It's street parking but no worries it's worth it. When you walk in you're immediately greeted with smiles and you walk into great hip hop music, big tv's, arcade games and just a great atmosphere. I noticed they had a lot of regular customers, and they treated all the customers with the upmost respect I love this. Now to the Tea, they have everything all the names are pretty hip and the flavors are bomb! All types of flavors, to cater to all taste buds! I don't know much about the tattoo portion but I know the guy who does the tattoos does them in a very clean room, in the back area. And well I wanted to get a tattoo and he's booked all the way until May right now and it's only November, and his work is amazing. He's done my sister and mom's tattoos I'll be next! Everything about this place I love. My sister did her clothing pop up shop here and the vibes were amazing. Everyone is so supportive and the atmosphere and look of this place for sure made the event successful. I fully support this place and I'll be a regular customer and make sure I bring others. Check this gem out!

Ceremony is a matcha focused cafe on College Hill in Providence that has built a following well…read morebeyond the immediate Brown University and RISD crowd it sits closest to. I walked into a space that is bright and well designed, with large windows bringing in natural light on a sunny day and a layout that works for both sitting with a drink and getting some work done. The matcha program is the reason most people come here. I noticed the menu follows seasons and trends in a way that keeps the offering from feeling static, and the flavor combinations go beyond what most cafes in the area attempt. I tried the strawberry matcha, which is the most liked drink here, and it was decent. The hojicha latte is a strong alternative for anyone who wants something with a roasted, earthier quality rather than the grassy brightness of standard matcha. Sweetener is an add on rather than included by default, which is worth knowing when you place your order, particularly if you are accustomed to cafes that automatically offer a simple syrup option. The menu also extends into wine and cocktails for evening visits, which gives the space a different function than a typical daytime cafe. Consistency on the matcha is mixed, with occasional issues around mixing and clumping that affect both the flavor and the texture. When it is well made, the quality is evident. The cafe gets crowded and loud during peak hours, so visiting on a weekday or arriving early on weekends gives you a better experience of the space. Parking in the area is manageable compared to most of Providence. For a matcha focused cafe with a unique menu and a bright, comfortable space, Ceremony is worth knowing about.
