South County Bread Company is a family-owned bakery in Wakefield, Rhode Island, known for its…read moresourdough-based breads, croissants, and pastries, made with fresh, in-house milled grains. They are committed to using healthy ingredients. The Morning Buns from this bakery were highly recommended by a local. They did not disappoint. Order included; **Morning Buns - their rendition of a cinnamon bun. "The bakers work this croissant dough for several days, folding in cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, and love. Guaranteed to be one of the best pastries you've ever tasted." The buttery layers melted in my mouth. The cinnamon was fragrant and did not dominate the flavor of the sweet pastry. I understand why they are the most popular item on the pastry menu. **Almond Danish -- My favorite in a close competition after a sampling. The almond paste gave them a pronounced nut flavor as well as a slightly chewy bite. **Monkey Bread pastry -- although fresh tasting, it was a little dry and only mildly flavorful. It was my least favorite. **Chocolate Chip Cookies -- crunchy at edges with a little chew and a pleasant aftertaste of butter. Excellent! As a novice baker of Sourdough Breads, I was pleased to learn that the Bakery has a Sourdough focus using sourdough starter for most products including the croissants believing it's healthier and easier to digest. Amazing! Wish I lived closer. The bread selection was impressive and included Sourdough. Sliced upon request, they are popular and often sold out. I was advised to get there early.

Amazing coffee and baked goods served by genuinely amazing people. An excellent experience... no surprise to overhear them chatting away with their "regulars" who seemed to be there (I laughed when I overheard someone ordering something different than their "usual order"). Charming interior, with space to eat on site. Over two visits in 2 days, I had their morning bun (OMG), spinach feta croissant and pain au chocolate... cannot wait to go back on my next trip to RI (or better yet, please open in NYC ). I think everything was $5.85/each.

Donuts must have bad publicists. First, Dunkin' purges them from their logo like a reprobate uncle…read moreand now Bess Eaton quietly morphs from "Donut Shop" to "Coffee Shoppe" with a wave of the copywriters wand. BTW, they still serve fried dough in infinite varieties but this Rhode Island stalwart would rather keep that on a need to know basis. Fun fact... Rhode Islanders eat more donuts per capita than any state in the US. Engorged waistlines aside, Bess Eaton is everything Dunkin' isn't namely, fast, clean and cheap. While Dunkin' has radically expanded their menu forcing order completion times to infinity and beyond, Eaton has kept things simple meaning your hot coffee isn't iced by the time it delivers your morning fix. Unfortunately, a pit stop in Rhode Island is a bit of a detour on my daily commute but ole' Bess remains a sought after destination when I do return to the State of Rhode Island and the now deleted Providence Plantations. An easy five stars.

Let me tell you.... Wakefield is all a buzz over this place reopening! The line was out the door,…read morethe drive thru line was to the street. And why you ask? For styrofoam 32oz containers filled with crushed ice and ice coffee. Even on a day when its 25 degrees out. The staff was a little frazzled, which doesnt surprise me. They had been getting their asses handed to them from the minute they opened. There was a well dressed couple (Im assuming the owners) stocking baked goods, and checking on the staff. They dont have the trademark Red White and Blue cups yet, but Im sure without a doubt, they are on their way. Once the staff gets the hang of it, and the craziness calms down, Im sure this place will run like the well oiled machine that it used to be. Good Job guys, and thank you for making Wakefield that Happiest Place on planet earth.

My recent weekday afternoon visit to Fuel Coffee Bar showed me how an independent coffee shop can…read moredeliver excellent service through its dedicated approach to managing its business operations. My first impression of the room hit me through its espresso scent that filled the entire space. The modern design of the space creates an environment that supports both focused work and relaxed socializing through its streamlined design. The shop maintained a peaceful atmosphere because I was the only customer present which enabled me to study the surroundings at my own pace. The space appeared to be perfectly clean because a staff member was busy cleaning the floor which showed that the establishment maintained cleanliness as a fundamental requirement. The shop maintained a quiet atmosphere which only included the soft sounds of the espresso machine and its periodic loud noises. The staff members delivered fast service while maintaining a friendly attitude. The staff members welcomed me as soon as I entered the building and they explained all menu options to me because I did not know what to order yet they did not attempt to persuade me to choose any specific item. The staff members allowed me to create my own drink which I found to be a useful feature. The staff members permitted me to create my own drink because I needed to follow my specific requirements. I chose to order a large iced mocha latte with an extra espresso shot. The staff members finished my order within three minutes which they executed successfully because most businesses find it difficult to create this level of operational efficiency. The espresso shot produced a rich chocolate flavor which tasted smooth and fresh without any harsh notes. The drink maintained an equal distribution of coffee and chocolate flavors because neither ingredient overpowered the other.

Imagine my surprise when Jared himself was not only making coffee but called out my name when mine was ready. Day, made. This spot is huge, and they have a bunch of coffee drinks on the menu and its wildly affordable. I'm talking under $5 for an iced latte that was delicious. It seems like a nice place to catch up with a friend, and while i didn't have the cocktails it was cool they offer that and wine. Parking is ample in the shopping center. My advice - take a visit to this spot, but just skip the slam pig sash on your outfit.

Over the last couple of months, I have tried to brew the best coffee at home. As a part of that, I…read morehave decided to try to find small batch roasters in the area to source my beans. I did a Google search and saw that The Coffee Guy was close to me and that they had a variety of beans that they roast in house. I stopped in to the shop and walked up to their display of bags of coffee beans. The owner introduced himself as well as the staff. They were all very friendly and knowlegable. I made my selection and brought it to the counter to purchase. They also serve coffee and pastry but this trip I just wanted the beans. They offered to grind them to whatever courseness I wanted, but I prefer to grind them at home. A pound of coffee averages $20 and they have a frequent buyer program (when you reach purchases of $100, you get a $5 credit. This is tracked so your purchases accumulate). They also deliver to the area on Wednesday's if you order online by their Tuesday Night deadline. I have tried this and my coffee was on my doorstep before 9 that Wednesday. Very convenient. Lastly, the store is not that big with not much room for sitting (I honestly can't remember if they had seating.) However, if you are looking to source your beans or grab a cup of coffee on the go, this is a great option.

My dining partners had the fish sandwich (which I tried and will definitely make a trip back to order one for myself) and the other had a hot dog. That too was excellent! With the Fish and Chips came chowder and I chose my favorite - Rhode Island. That too did not disappoint. The flavor and portion were perfect. The staff is primarily young and energetic. Some may not like the easy going atmosphere but I enjoyed it. Their enthusiasm added to the upbeat vibe. I never saw one of them not working. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is the fact the ordering process - specifically the walk up area - is a bit chaotic as other reviews have written. We went early enough so there was no line and only 1 ahead of us. However by the time we came left there was congestion roaming around the porch area and we had to weave through to get out and off the porch. If there is a way to keep those that have ordered from hovering around - that would be a big help. I'm looking forward to go back again soon!

My husband and I split the Gaetano's Lobstah Roll with double meat. I love lobster rolls and this definitely hit the spot. I wish it would have been a little saltier and butterier. There are all sorts of other things you can order that look great too. The atmosphere is great, with a wraparound porch you can eat at. We ordered through the kiosk so we didn't interact with the staff, but you can order with a person at the window. Check them out!

I thought it was good, just a normal sandwich and nothing special about it. It was a busy little place but they got through the line fairly quickly and there is ample seating. Would come again!

Located…read moreopposite Pancho O'Malley's and two doors down from Domino's, this little cafe offers the most exquisite and decadent pastries. I've been here now on two occasions and both times was overwhelmingly satisfied with the wares offered. I can't speak for the coffee, as I'm not a coffee drinker. But the pastries are out of this world! So far, I've had the Fig Tart, and the Pistachio Cheesecake which was to die for. I'm hoping this cafe can make a go of it as Narragansett is pretty devoid of good bakeries in that end of the town. The bakeries near the shore tend to be tourist traps with mediocre offerings, indifferent staffing and exorbitant prices. Galleria Dolce is a welcomed breath of relief from these other shops. If you're in the area, I give it my highest recommendation.
