My wife and I with our dog were looking for a place to grab breakfast. We found Old Man Joe's. The lovely woman working there took our order, and gave our dog a treat. The bagel sandwich was out of this world! The coffee was excellent. Bottom line if you want great food and a really sweet place to eat it stop by OMJ's and my dog would second that!!! read more

Always a great breakfast with friendly service here. The bagels here are definitely my favorite in the area. Today I enjoyed a NJ staple - Pork roll, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and it was delicious. I never had a latte here before but the latte was perfect today. Winter morning well spent in OMJs cozy dining area. read more

A neighborhood coffee shop with great bagel sandwiches and pastries. Small menu, with occasional specials that delight. And popup pizza nights in the summer and fall. This is not fast food, so don't be in a hurry. It's all well worth the wait. Enjoy the people watching and chat with the locals while you're here. read more

such a cute little place! Food and drinks are delicious, a little pricey, but worth it! Really good gluten free homemade bread and pastries!!! Service was amazing, everyone was so sweet and helpful read more

I grew up in NJ and know what Taylor Ham/Pork Roll is. I got a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese on a bagel (everything.) It was well done and tasted great, though maybe a bit salty. The ham was a bit overdone and crunchy around the edges, but not too much. Bagel was very good. I ordered "to-go" via telephone and it was ready when they said it would. Had to park across the street in a posted "Parking only for ...(stores in at strip mall) but not a problem in the early morning. Overall, very good. read more

I read about this place in the Westerly Sun and have been meaning to try it for quite some time. I'm sorry I waited so long. The vibe in this place is so chill. And they are dog-friendly. Their coffee is excellent. They made a great flat white for me. The staff is kind and friendly. Definitely going back. read more

Love coming to Old Man Joe's for delicious breakfast and kind people. The owner goes out of her way to accommodate our dog too!

Coming from NY, these are GREAT bagels. I had the Giuseppe on a Sesame bagel (spicy but among the best breakfast sandwiches) and my partner had the Joe's Gone Fishin' on their Za'tar bagel (very impressed by how homemade/fresh everything was!). For drinks we had a vanilla iced coffee, and an iced Chai. I like my coffee sweet but don't like a lot of added sugar and these were no disappointment! The establishment seemed to be family run or the staff was just that friendly! We decided this may be our new Sunday go-to. read more

So disappointed. Was visiting in town and was super excited about all the good reviews. Might be the most chewy bagel I've ever gotten in my life. I literally had to cut it with a knife,piece by piece, in order to eat it. Hopefully, it was just a bad day? Coffee was good. read more

Old Man Joe's is located on Main St across from Dick's World of Wines and Midway Pizza Plaza. It's in the same location as the old beloved TinTin bakery. To enter the parking lot , enter the driveway on the left of the building. The spots are (poorly marked) along the left. Exit to the right, behind the building, onto School St. 4 Adirondack chairs sit at the front of the building. This is a great idea because now we can see that this place is opened (there were many delays to its opening) and you can see people enjoying their products. The inside has about 4 tables seating for 4 with seating along the counter. There's a menu board and pastry display case. Coffee is from Brooklyn NY (home town!!!) all of the goods are organic and made in house. They also make their own nut milks. The bagels are sourdough. You can get, butter, cream cheese, labneh, lox, bacon, eggs, pork roll (I guess it's something like Canadian Bacon- but Native to the Jersey area), and cheese. There's also chia pudding (which I planned on ordering but I forgot) I had the poppy bagel with veggie cream cheese. The veggie cream cheese was made with fresh veggies which I don't think I've ever had before. There were red and yellow Bell peppers, red onion, and scallions. Very nice touch. The cheddar scone was delicious with flaky sea salt on the top. Would have been better heated up. I bought the last one- but not before the next customer ordering has seen it in the display case and tried ordering it. They were kind of bummed out. They ended up sitting next to us so I offered them a piece and then they gave us a piece of their muffin. The owners cheered at us for being so friendly and sharing. And we both got to try both pastries so win win win !! My cappuccino was truly delicious. I ordered the Flash Drip with cashew milk for hubby. He loved it. Prices were just right. I found it was a bit cheaper than Dave's. They are very generous with the poppy and sesame seeds on the bagels. Top and bottoms were covered in seeds. Very rare to see. I'm a huge poppy seed fan and not many places carry them. So for a drip coffee, an herbal chamomile tea, cappuccino, Flash Drip, cheddar scone, bagel with lox, bagel with butter, bagel with veggie cream cheese came out to $34.56 (lucky!). That was 4 drinks, 3 bagels and 1 pastry. Expect to spend about $9 per person. Not bad. All straws and utensils are compostable. Trays are those super sturdy metal trays. The staff were super friendly. (Jazz I think) music plays inside, fresh cut flowers on the tables. Came on Wednesday around noon. Steady flow of customers throughout our visit. Will definitely be back. read more

One of the best Matcha's I have ever had! Thick, foamy and not overly sweet. The bagel with lox was also declious- the perfect level of saltiness. read more

This review is based on an evening weekend visit. I see that it's a coffee/breakfast place in the morning and looks super cute, but we came on a Saturday night for music and cocktails! It's a cozy space that had a guitarist in the corner. We sat at the bar and tried out some cocktails that were great! Super fun spot to stop in after dinner for live music and drinks. read more

I want to give this place more stars because the cocktails and food we had were very good. The service though was less than appealing. The gentleman with the toque hat was downright unfriendly. In our few interactions with him, it felt like we were putting him simply by trying to place our order. The space is very small, which for the night we stopped in made it slightly unpleasant. We wanted to listen to the musician who was playing, but the crowd noise rose above the music, so it makes me wonder why book a singer/musician if the crowd has no interest in listening? The ambiance is cold. There isn't any art or photos on the plain white walls, and the space is very dimly lit. It wasn't warm and inviting at all. I did enjoy the food we tried, which was excellent. The cocktails we ordered were also excellent. If they can get their staff and ambiance to warm up and be more inviting, this will be a great place. I'll check it out again in the hope that they appreciate constructive criticism. read more

I don't want to tell anyone about this place bc I want to keep it for myself. Their bagels are absolutely the way a bagel should be, bagel perfection. Maybe there is another bagel in the area that's acceptable but I haven't found it. Go there read more

I come back to the area a couple times of year and noticed this new place. I heard great reviews about it so had to check it out with my Mom. What a delightful experience...We were warmly greeted and guided to the variety of breakfast food options. We enjoyed a perfect hot chai, delicious everything bagel sandwich with egg, home made veggie cream cheese with obvious chunks of veggies and thick bacon Mom's cheddar chive scone was delicious too! The space is open with plenty of seats at the bar. We sat at one of the several tables. What struck me was the engagement not just between the server and customers but also between the customers I heard enough of the conversations to realize that even though they didn't know each other, there was genuine and curious communication between them. Quite refreshing to witness. I'll be back in the spring to try the pizzas. read more

Excellent. Maybe best poppy seed bagel ever. Had the average Joe. Freshly made egg, runny yolk. Perfect.

Best bagel I've had outside of Manhattan. Would have been five stars but parking is tricky and seating is inadequate.

Exactly what westerly needed - a great bagel joint! Might be the best bagel I've head north of the nyc, and the coffee is fantastic to boot. The staff is awesome, very nice and local to the area. The aesthetic is 10/10. Looking forward to when they open the bar next week, get live music going, and open up the brick over pizza too!! read more

For so long I've been trying to find a good bagel spot in Westerly. Out of the blue came old man joes! I was introduced to my first ever "Pork Roll" upon my first visit, and I've been dying to get another ever since I left. My girlfriend and I attended a tremendous wine tasting night not long after, and the service was spot on. Love the staff and the overall vibe. The owners are so kind. Love this place and recommend to all! read more

Great latte. Friendly counter staff. Minimalist interiors. Previous reviews said to get there early or they run out of baked goods and that was totally true. In 30 mins while I was waiting for my friend who was late, they sold all 5 slices that were left of the GF poppy loaf, which is what I had come for. I would skip the GF wild oat bar in the future - it was dry. Wish they still made the GF bread so I could have had an egg sandwich. read more

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, and a great environment. The chia pudding and homemade vegan gelato (with grass-fed dairy options for those who indulge) in a morning affogato were pleasant surprises to find in Westerly. It's clear a lot of care has gone into the menu, the food itself, and the space to create an all-around excellent experience. Will gladly return every time I visit the area. read more

I just went to old man joes to get a bagel, got to the front of the line and they said they had to hold for a minute on bagels while they figure out how many they have, fine. So i sat and waited, and then they sold their last bagels to the people in line behind me!! read more

First time at this coffee shop. My breve was excellent and the lemon poppy cake was also very good! Staff was super friendly. Can't wait to try them out during their evening hours. read more

Old Man Joe's is ANOTHER LEVEL! It's so nice to have a community joint where all are welcome, and the regulars keep coming back. I only wish there were more places like it around. I'm glad that we found this hotspot. read more

We stopped here when visiting Rhode Island for a night. Everything was very good, the only disappointment was that they did not serve decaf coffee or espresso. I have blood sugar issues, so I can only have decaf. But their egg sandwiches were fantastic at least! read more

This place has by far the best bagels I've had in Rhode Island. The prices are very good considering everything is made in house and organic. Good coffee and espresso too! read more

Cutest shop. They had gluten free pastries. Their coffee can be a bit bitter because of the homemade nut milk.

Pretty good coffee but the man that served me was cold and unfriendly. Seemed frustrated by my asking simple questions and emanated condescension. It was clear that the rest of my group was walking out to the car, after which he made my coffee and put it into a glass cup as if to punish me for not asking for a to-go. read more

The BEST bagels! Great family owned business - check out live music nights. Unique menu everything is so fresh

Super cute vibes. Excellent cappuccino, but don't ask for cinnamon. I got a sesame bagel, very good sourdough and loaded with poppyseeds but for some reason they will warm it up for you but not toast it, so next time I will bring it home to toast. read more

Excellent bagels, iced espresso excellent service, very plain and comfortable setting. Great addition to town!

We have been here a few times and I have enjoyed their teas, breads and breakfast sandwich. We are over the moon to have this business in town. read more

First time trying this place out and I was definitely disappointed. Ordered two bagels and went to take a bite they were rock hard like they have been sitting out for a long time. We did not toast them at all and almost broke a tooth. They do not offer different roasts and should have more milk options. Definitely overpriced for what we received and it was a big let down as for being a local. $20 for two coffees and two "fresh" bagels, not sure why everyone is raving about this place. read more

Old Man Joes is a wonderful place to have a bite to eat the food is unbelievably good!! Have a nice home-made sour dough bagel along with a pour-over cup of coffee really makes your morning specia! I highly recommend Old Man Joes!, from the friendly staff to the outside patio the atmosphere is perfect! The food is the best all organic and prepared on premise! I just love Old Man Joes! read more

all i can say is go there and get a bagel sandwich and a coffee ! awesome place!
