    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute place. Lots of indoor seating, different seating arrangements. Size friendly as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved that the chorizo was made into the egg. The food in general was okay, could've used more seasoning or some of the aioli stuff. The chai latte was very good. The person making the coffee was really nice, and provided different options since they were out of their golden latte. Sweet treats were good as well. Street parking, you might need to park on the side street and walk over, just a minute or so of walking. We will be back!

    Food: I ordered the iced caramel latte and it was refreshing and not too sweet. I would get it again! Service: The staff was super nice and they made the drink really fast. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's pretty spacious inside and you could definitely take time in there to chill on your laptop with all the outlets around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good coffee (drip and espresso) and breakfast/lunch sandwiches with ample seating and easy on street parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Note: the chourizo croissant is good but the chourizo is in very small amounts blended within the egg patty. Needed a bit more.

    This little local coffee shop is delightful in so many ways. My cinnamon vanilla latte with oak milk was a delicious treat. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is lovely for some quiet time alone or meeting up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Great cafe spot! The iced lattes tasted great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the decor and ambiance inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sitting area is large and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was swift. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Enjoyed their selection of jazz music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking is on a busy road so it's sometimes hard to grab a close spot. Glad it's local!

    Forgot to snap a picture before I devoured my breakfast sandwich! Got a turkey sausage, egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel and ‍. It was delicious. Paired it with an iced latte that was also good! I took it to go but there were people working on their laptops and others just enjoying their drinks! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place to sit and get a coffee and do some work![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Avocado Toast

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am guessing this is a fairly new place since it still has that new cafe smell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was looking for a quick bite to eat after my dentist visit up the street and Notes came up on my search. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small coffeehouse cafe right on Armistice off of Newport Ave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have an assortment of pastries, prepared foods and coffee and tea. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're a cafe writer like I am, this is a great spot for you. Quiet, cozy and easy to find an outlet for your laptop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the avocado toast, which was fresh and creamy. I wanted to try the vegan chicken Caesar, but when I went they were out, so I'll have to go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're a local to the neighborhood, this could definitely be your new hangout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Maple vanilla latte
    Kelly F.

    Super friendly staff with great recommendations. I stopped by after visiting Margo's bakery for a coffee. I got the maple vanilla latte and it didn't disappoint. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

    If you're a cafe-hopper such as myself, this place should definitely be in your rotation. Notes has homemade pastries, delicious coffee and tea drinks, and friendly service. There is ample seating inside and the coffee shop is down the street from Slater Park.

    Various pastries, some house made, some locally sourced from other bakeries. Did not try any but will go back for their vegan option!
    Guinevere F.

    Really loved this place. Great service & the coffees were extremely delicious. Friendly people working & they hang up art from local artist. Did not get any pictures of that but I will be back to try their other latte flavors and vegan pastries. Very cute decor inside as well!

    Now here's a place that's new to me and what a great little place it is. Set amongst a neat row of store fronts just between Newport Ave and the sweet neighborhood off Armistice Blvd, you get a feeling of neighborhood and community. My friend Kristen was able to join me and give me some background. The owner opened up during all this craziness of Covid with great intents of highlighting the art of painting and music. (Coffee notes... Music notes... ) The local paintings are hung tastefully on the wall. I had an iced coffee with cream, featuring New Harvest. A good coffee doesn't need much. I also had the breakfast sandwich on an Asiago Bagel which was just amazing... soft and crisp and tasty. And I know it's not a rare thing, but I love take out boxes... and the little sticker on top just makes such a sweet presentation, almost like a gift! I would come here again and I look forward to seeing this business thrive! #RIFoodFights #BestIcedCoffeeRI #BuyLocalRI

    Iced Maple Vanilla Latte with Whole Milk
    Amanda B.

    Tried out notes for the first time and O. M. G. !!!!!! This iced maple vanilla latte I got is honestly the most amazing drink ever. It's balances the sweet and coffee taste. I love it and I wish I got a second one. I saw their panini menu and I can't wait to go back and get the one with Turkey and fig jam. UG! Is it too soon to go back? I just left. I love when places have local bakery options, they have Krazy corner bagels and Knead donuts and wrights dairy milk!!! I wish they had a free standing building cuz I'm sure they'd have a cute patio area where I could hang out all day. Unfortunately, they don't have much seating and their isn't much parking. Everyone go so they can make tons of money and get a bigger place. Overall super happy to have a close yummy coffee shop!

    The Malted Barley is a craft gastropub that opened in Westerly, Rhode Island in May 2011. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Colin and Stephanie Bennett. The two met when they both worked at a brewery in Honolulu. Once returning to Rhode Island, the couple decided to open their own gastropub in Stephanie's hometown of Westerly. Dubbed "The Malted Barley", the business focused on craft beer paired with gourmet pretzel sandwiches. The pretzel dough is made fresh daily, and every pretzel is rolled and stuffed by hand. After much success, the Bennetts looked to franchise their business model. After signing a licensing agreement with investor Ron Koller, a second Malted Barley opened in Providence in March 2016. In March 2023, the Bennetts closed the original Malted Barley in Westerly so that they could focus on their flower farm, Echo Rock Flowers, as well as their family. The Malted Barley in Providence continues to run under the ownership of Ron Koller. I visited the original Westerly location of the Malted Barley in 2014 while I was on a craft beer bus tour. I was so impressed with their excellent craft beer selection and delicious gourmet pretzels that I decided to make the gastropub a stop on my craft beer bachelor party bus tour three years later. I was very sad when I heard that the original location closed down, but I took comfort in knowing that a second location still existed in Providence. I recently visited the Providence location for lunch while I was passing through the area. When I walked in, I immediately smelled the freshly baked pretzels. For food, I ordered the "Barley Bacon Beast Burger" (75 % beef 25 % bacon patty, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, more bacon w/ a side of ketchup) on an Everything Pretzel. It really hit the spot. I must add that these pretzels are essentially a hybrid between traditional Bavarian pretzels and New York-style bagels: salty and crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. While looking over the beer menu, I was surprised to see that the Malted Barley now brews their own house beer in addition to guest taps. I ordered a taster flight that featured Malted Barley's "Banana Bread" (Traditional Ale) and "Monster Juice" (Hazy IPA), as well as Long Live Beerworks' "Invisible IPA" (hazy IPA) and Phantom Farms Brewing's "Coarse Woody Debris" (Saison). All of the beers were very refreshing and paired nicely with my pretzel sandwich. I still miss the original Westerly location, but it's nice to know that you can still find delicious pretzels sandwiches paired with craft beer just a little further away.

While I can't say I've absolutely loved all of the seasonal specials that come out of the kitchen, they hit the mark enough times to keep me coming back to try the new ones. Servers are friendly, capable, and food comes out quick. I've probably been 30+ times and never am disappointed.

We both ordered the Classic Smash Burger, one with cheese and one without. Unfortunately, both burgers were utterly tasteless, with virtually no seasoning detected at all. The Chomp Sauce that was supposed to elevate the burger was so sparse it barely made an appearance, leaving the burgers bland. Honestly, the bun was the best part. The brussel sprouts I ordered also lacked flavor and seasoning aside from the char, and his Cajun fries were so salty they were nearly inedible. After driving from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as a special Mother's Day treat, it ended up being a very disappointing experience, especially given the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We may have caught them on an unusually busy night, but unfortunately our meals fell far short of our expectations.

    This is a small eatery (I counted max 39 seats between tables and the bar) with difficult parking…read more I was able to get a spot right in front b because I went to lunch, but the parking lot has signs saying it is for employees of the wood shop next door, and no trespassing in the lot across the street, so I think street parking is the only option? Service is great, very attentive and friendly. The food is what earns this three stars. I tried a stuffie, German onion soup, a Farmhouse burger, and a key lime Mason jar. The stuffie was a little small, and most of the flavor was imparted by the ham and the squeeze of lemon. The German onion soup, I'm not sure why it was German except to not be French? Outside the name difference, the onions were way too large, and there was a total lack of flavor going on in the soup. The crock was very large too. The burger and fries looked pretty good, and I enjoyed the flavors here. The fries were rough hewn, so there was good crispness from all the edges. The toppings of the burger, and the bun, were also hearty. Unfortunately, my medium rare burger was more like raw meat with surface browning. I'm a big fan of rare steak, but ground beef needs a little more cooking. Also, the house made ketchup is really more of a marinara sauce. If I'd ended up eating more of my plate before they took it away to re-fire the burger, I would have asked to replace the ketchup. The key lime Mason jar was e everything you want to wrap up a meal. Great flavor, lightness, citrus. I did have to bring most of it home but, unlike the burger they brought back in a box, I'm excited to get back into the key lime. From an accessibility stand point, there is no ramp to get in nor handicap parking, so the evidently don't want your business. Once you're in, there are some seats you could get in, but if this place were full it would be difficult to navigate for anyone. The bathroom is a single room, but very spacious and nice. So, mixed bag for access. Your mileage may vary, but I'm not racing to return.

The bartender barely made eye contact, and when I ordered a spicy tequila soda, I was served with Tajín sprinkled on top--not exactly what I'd expect for a spicy drink. The food was equally underwhelming. The pepperoni pizza came out with the pepperoni completely burnt. When we mentioned it, we were told that's simply how they prepare it, so keep that in mind if you order pizza here. The wings were decent and had a good amount of meat on them, but that was about the only highlight. The nachos arrived swimming in grease, making them difficult to enjoy, and the toppings were just average. The French fries were another issue--they appeared to have been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. This wasn't disclosed, and the fries came out tasting noticeably fishy. Thankfully, I don't have a seafood allergy, but that could be a serious concern for someone who does. The ambiance was fine, but overall the food and service left a lot to be desired, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
