Both were great, I wish I could remember the name of the drink but it was great. I tried The fried Chicken wings and cassava with white rice. The wings were all right but the cassava was the real star of the show here! I would definitely order it again. Next time I'm in the Providence area. Definitely plan to check them out and try some other items off them menu!

She really is a believer of building community and that can be seen in the way that she treats her customers and also is visible by the people walking through the door of her cafe. I have never had such a positive experience in regard to feeling so welcome and so happy while somewhere. My friend Taylor and I chatted with the staff and every customer. What an experience! All of the food and beverages were freshly prepared. Allergies were taken care of along with other dietary restrictions and preferences. They have options for GF, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan and more. WOW! Everything we tried was amazing. It was my first time trying Nigerian food and I was super impressed! Everything was flavorful and unique. I will be back again for sure. This was an experience unlike any other!

The woman working couldn't have been nicer and all of the customers were beyond friendly. For drinks my friend and I tried the Chapman and zobo, both were good on their own but the nice woman working convinced us to mix them together and WOW, highly recommend. We also tried a blueberry latte which was tasty. For food we ordered puff puff, plantain waffle, sardines and eggs, and vegan village rice bowl. We finished it off with a slice of banana bread. Everything was so flavorful and not overly salty and not oily. The puff puff were so light and fluffy! I can't wait to come back and try more things. We got a lot of recommendations from customers coming in... definitely coming back for jollof rice and pepper soup! Side note: there is construction going on in front of this business. Don't let it deter you, there is a lot of street parking nearby and you can park at the bank across the street while the construction is going on!

On October 18, 2025 and November 15, 2025, a women led business called suis had their pop-up at The…read moreVillage PVD. The first time I randomly came across the pop-up sign outside and couldn't resist not going in and checking it out. After that, I started to follow them on instagram, @suis.ri. suis offers limited quantities of roll cakes, mini cake boxes, shio pan, choux, and beverages. I've had their jasmine milk matcha and the salted cookie butter matcha. Both drinks are DELICIOUS! The jasmine smell and flavor really comes through and I've gotten it both times I've visited the pop-up. The salted cookie butter matcha is a must get if you like/love speculoos. I've also tried the dubai chocolate tiramisu, biscoff cookie tiramisu, and mango coconut sticky rice mini cake box. They're all SOOOO good and packed with flavors!!! I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order from suis. On pop-up days, suis usually offers a free item with purchase for the first 12 customers so get in line early. It is definitely worth the wait! All the items are limited quantities so they do run out. Be sure to get there early and prepare to queue up. The line moves and you'll have time to look at the menu on your phone.

I'm new to these kinds of flavors so it was a bit spicy for me, but if this style of food is your jam, I would definitely try this place out- my friend loved it so much and ate the entire thing!

I later realized it seems like more of a takeout restaurant. I ordered the peanut butter soup with goat and a side of fufu. I was expecting the peanut butter soup to have more of a peanut butter taste, but it did not - it tasted more like a stew, but still delicious! It was my first time trying goat so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really enjoyed it, the meat was super tender and flavorful. The fufu complemented the meal nicely as well. The person taking our order, as well as the chef were super nice. The chef came out and made sure we were enjoying everything. Overall a very good experience. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend for takeout versus dine-in.

I was looking for a nearby tea house and saw that this place was about to close. I called, and the girl who answered the phone was so kind she said she would wait for us. When we arrived, the owner was extremely nice and welcoming. I ordered tea for my younger daughter, who loved both the tea and the atmosphere. I also ordered tea for my college-bound daughter who wasn't feeling well. When I explained that she was very sick and had requested tea, the owner not only brought out her drink but also made her a second one special, just for her saying he hoped she would feel better. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us. This place is adorable, the service is amazing, and they've definitely gained another loyal customer. We'll absolutely be back.
