    Bacon breakfast sandwich (no cheese)
    Molly P.

    I'm SO glad we stopped here!!!!The people working here really make you feel welcome and comfortable. It's very cleanly and super cute inside. Perfect place to stop and chat. I recommend trying one of their sandwiches. They are truly phenomenal! If I was having the worst day of my life, stopping here for a bite might actually brighten it up! Sandwiches from heaven. Seriously. They were extremely accommodating to my lactose intolerance and even went out of their way to make me a cheese-less sandwich. The seating is so cozy and they have a bunch of cool drinks I would love to come back and try! 10/10 would recommend

    Finally tried this place again after visiting on opening day a few months back. The cafe is cute and trendy, a great place for a meeting or work. The food and coffee are both solid. The chicken pesto sandwich was tasty but not super fresh. I love that you can order to eat there and get food on a real plate and coffee in a real mug. This always makes a cafe more cozy! Lawadessa is a little pricey for what you're getting but I don't mind since it seems like a local family business. All the workers are super nice and it's such a good vibe. I love the corner spot as well.

    Definitely recommend this cute new spot in Mansfield! It's downtown but has convenient parking. It's spacious inside with lots of sitting areas and also has benches outdoors. Service is friendly and fast, ambience is great and the menu is fun with lots of classics but some creative surprises as well.

    Incredibly cute cafe that opened not too long ago. Very clean, super friendly staff, and unique goodies! We stopped in for the first time after a very full morning for a couple of cups of something comforting. I had a cup of chai latte and my husband spotted some bite sized pistachio stuffed dates that we just had to try. These were SO GOOD! Chai was also delicious but we went back for seconds of the dates. Must try and great place to sit down and relax!

    what an adorable cafe on the corner. love the seating arrangements inside. the staff behind the counter were so happy to be there and conversational with both regulars and new ppl. i got a small pot of hot tea and it was quite generous, i must have had like 5 cups. and i got a caramelized halal turkey and onion baguette, and it was an elevated cafe sandwich for sure. would definitely frequent more if i lived nearby.

    Love the coffee here and the breakfast sandwich was delicious! The tiramisu latte was absolutely amazing. Staff is super nice and friendly. Inside the cafe is beautiful and a lovely spot to sit and enjoy. The size of the straws in the medium cup is pretty funny though.

    Awesome ambiance, beautiful decor and even better coffee! I loved the za'atar croissant and the pistacho muffin. The cappuccino was better than Starbucks! Worth stopping by, ordering your fav coffee an relaxing with chilling vibes!

    I really enjoyed this space. The food was really good and the aesthetic is very nice. It got busy towards the end of the day but was a nice place to get some work done and the service was kind and familial. I will definitely be back!

    2 lattes, a breakfast sandwich, a croissant, and dolmas.

    It is St. Joseph's Day. I have never had a zeppola and it's about time I did. So off we went to…read morestand in line at The Original Italian Bakery. The bakery has a small parking lot with about half a dozen spots. A policeman was on duty today to direct cars to the Walgreen parking lot next door when this lot was full, and to let them in when spots were open. As the line of people waiting outside the door to get in was constant, this was very smart planning and much appreciated. Some folks seemed to know St. Joseph's Day was very busy here and had placed orders in advance. These smart shoppers skipped the line and quickly came back outside with their orders bagged up. The line moved pretty well with four shop assistants helping customers. Only about 10 guests, max, fit inside at a time. Once inside bagged breads like sandwich rolls were on shelves while calzone and other meal pastry were in a case. Then, there were three cases full of zeppola. During our visit they had chocolate, pistachio, ricotta and original available. We got one of each. I cut my first zeppola in half and see the cream filling sits all the way down into the pastry. These are firm enough to hold in your hand and bit into. The pastry is very much like that in an éclair. Firm while being light and airy. The original filling is a lovely custard. The chocolate is a fluffy cream base I believe. Both were very tasty. I have two more to try and am looking forward to them. Between these tasty pastry and other items they had for sale there, we'll be back. You should check them out too.

They also give back to the community by donating to schools and worthy causes. I wish I would've taken pictures during my visit, but it was a holiday weekend and it was packed. A good sign that this establishment is definitely worth a visit.

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.

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.

    This little French bakery in Falmouth MA was new to us on our last trip a couple of years ago. I…read morehave no idea how long it has existed but certainly not back when we lived nearby. We returned this visit on a very hot day and with very busy downtown, so parking close was a must. Sadly, there was hardly any parking at all so "nearby" became only a wish. It was quite a hike to this shop. But it was worth it. We had already eaten lunch and our goal was a French pastry each for dessert and the option to sit inside in the cooled room to eat. We found 2 seats at the nearby eating counter and enjoyed the sweet snack. The line was exceptionally long so it did take a while to get our treat. You need to browse the case as you wait in line and be ready to order as you reach the front of the line, which luckily parallels the case, affording a decent view. The staff member, who has rotated back to the front of the staff line, will pull what you want from the case, bag or box it as appropriate to the pastry, run it to the cashier and then return back into the staff line. When you see the staff member do that, turn yourself around and head to the cashier line and pay. Then find a place to eat. If it is completely full inside, there are benches outside, across the street on the library lawn. We have done that in the past. Be sure you get your drinks from the cashier because getting back in line to order them later is counterproductive to having a nice time. This time I ordered a berry custard tart and my husband ordered the pear caramel custard tart. The crust was beautifully made, as always, all classic French flavors filling them. There are breads and pastries of all kinds from croissants to eclairs. Most people order a lot and take out in a box for entertaining or a group waiting for them somewhere else. Honestly, when it's this good and this beautiful, and this crowded, I never even looked at the prices. It was worth whatever it was.
