    Croissant and large latte
    Rita H.

    At one point at one of my favourite places bakeries ever. Tender flakey croissants, rich smooth lattes. Fast friendly service. Casual beachside ambiance. A smaller version of their mystic, CT main branch. Was in my way up, will hit the mystic store on my way home. Cannot go wrong here at all

    Iced Latte

    I often travel Westerly, RI, and finding good, independent coffee shops and bakeries can be few and far between. One of the places that is a top notch coffee shop and bakery, and my favorite, is Sift Bake Shop. Over my last two trips to Westerly, RI, I went there multiple times. First, their coffee is great and food is excellent. They have a wide variety of pastries, plus some sandwiches. They also have macaroons and cakes. I have ordered both their chocolate croissant and raspberry croissant. They are both good, but I would recommend the raspberry croissant. The last time I was in Westerly, RI I tried their chicken salad sandwich. The chicken was tender and the sauce was creamy and delicious. The sandwich came with a small bag of Cape Cod chips included in the price. I have gotten both iced lattes and iced coffee there. They are both good. One note of caution, their flavored lattes can be very sweet. Second, the service is good. The coffee shop is small and often is busy. The staff is friendly and they do a good job of the moving the line without being pushy or rude. Third, the interior is simple, but bright and classic. The shop is well lite. The white counter also brightens up the shop. In sum, this is a must visit coffee shop and bakery when you are Westerly, RI.

    Sea salt walnut choc chip cookie,  delicious!

    Sift was such a wonderful surprise to stumble upon! On our vacation we actually went 2 times, which is crazy because normally I want to try as many places as I can, but I have to say this bakery was so good it was worth a repeat visit! My favorite was the sea salt walnut choc chip cookie, a huge soft cookie! The fancy desserts looked beautiful, we tried the blueberry cheesecake, macaroones and brownie oh also the guava cheese croissant SO good!! Also the shop in Mystic was beautiful!

    I've been to Sift before and it's usually spot on. This time not so much. What they did right that was delicious- Blueberry muffin Mushroom quiche (which we didn't order that, we ordered ham & bacon) What was barely edible The chocolate croissant (stale & almost no chocolate inside) Chicken salad sandwich (croissant was stale & hard) Peanut butter truffle coffee (barely tasted the flavor and again stale) Would I go back? Ehhh... not this season

    We have been wanting to come to Sift for quite a while. We finally had our chance and enjoyed a variety of their treats. From coffees to pastries, assorted desserts to sandwiches, Sift definitely has everything that you could ask for. It was all absolutely delicious without a doubt! I would say that my favorite was either the cheesecake or the sticky bun that I got. With Mystic being one of our favorite spots, there is no doubt that we will be back soon to try more tasty treats!

    Sea Salt Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie - WOW!!!
    Shawn A.

    SIft is the best. We hit the shop in Mystic every time we are in the area, so it was great to find the satellite shop here in Westerly/Watch Hill. There is nothing I have had from Sift that I wouldn't get a thousand times over, but I am a sucker for their Sea Salt Walnut Chocolate Chip cookies. Truly the best!

    Sift's pastries are delicious!!! Their croissants are incredibly fluffy, namely their spinach and artichoke croissant or their croissant sandwiches, which are overloaded with ingredients! While they have a wide variety of drinks and flavors, I usually stick to the caramel iced coffee which is always great, but their brown sugar coffee is popular too. Despite having long lines, their friendly cashiers offer quick service.

    Almond croissant
    Cameo S.

    Love this place!! Despite being crowded, the staff was accommodating and kind toward us and we didn't feel rushed. We got the almond croissant and it was divine. The cream in the center was extremely refreshing, light, and delicious. The croissant was airy and buttery-- it was everything we hoped it would be. Cant wait to come back! It lived up to the hype!!

This is a huge store with a bunch of different rooms/spaces to sit in, including an outdoor patio which was very cute. I did not study here, but it would be a great spot. Lots of seating and outlets. They have monthly seasonal drinks which they post on their Instagram. I decided to get the seasonal purple cow cold brew and it was good. I personally don't love cold brew, but it tasted good, just very light. They also have a bunch of other coffee shop drinks along with food and smoothies. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area! There is also a large parking lot.

They also have seasonal lemonades. I also tried their strawberry basil lemonade. The strawberry basil lemonade despite its name did not have any basil in it but instead had a little bit of mint. This might have been an oversight of the worker but I didn't mind. The staff here are very friendly and quick with making your drinks. The cafe is clean and well decorated. There is both indoor and outdoor seating here. The cafe is located in a little plaza with a parking lot but it can get full pretty quickly! The cafe is very popular and opens pretty early.

I am all for new trendy vibey establishments but there's something so special about that old school classic vibe. There is so much attention to detail when the branding was designed that mustn't be over looked. The owners are also outstanding humans and constantly giving back to the community and supporting Local fundraisers. The staffing is usually on the younger side but I can appreciate a young teenager that wants to get out there and work in the community. Social interaction is super important in one's growth and you get to experience that first hand the more often you visit. I have always had great experiences, and I believe the owners are doing things right when they are interviewing and finding goo staffing. You can tell Mel has a passion for baking/culinary/sweets and provides an absolute top notch experience. From sundaes to ice cream flights and even big kahuna challenges, there is literally something for everybody. The menu is forever changing with seasons and customer input :) I tend to bring my young boys in for a small treat on the summer weekends when we're in downtown Westerly. We purposely plan on getting there at opening which is noontime. At that time of day they are much slower than later on into the evening. This allows my picky/indecisive boys to try a few flavors before committing to something. They can also perouse all the candy/ sweet treats, which they will inevitably convince me to get something to take home with them. I highly recommend stopping in for an after dinner sundae after a nice dinner at one of the other local dining establishments Cheers *****Spoiler alert. I cannot wait to see the finished product of the step side ice cream/sweet treat truck, coming to a town near you***

    Honeycone is simply as close to a perfect place as there can be. It's in a gorgeous location on a…read morecute street in Chester full of other small businesses, shops and restaurants. The shop is super inviting and nicely set up. All of the scoopers are beyond friendly and sweet, and terrific at what they do. I think sundae construction is an extremely underrated thing that I, admittedly, can be a bit of snob about. They are all masters. Nearly all toppings and elements are homemade, as well as all of their own creamy, while not excessively heavy, ice cream flavors! Even the dairy free options are excellent, and I couldn't even detect a difference. I have been 3 times recently, and most recently had one of the best ice cream experiences of my entire life (if not the best, and all 3 times have been among the top actually). I had a scoop of "Pride" (cake batter with funfetti cake chunks) & a scoop of dairy free blueberry lemon poppyseed in a waffle cone. The extra large homemade cone was crisp and perfection. The Pride flavor was a rare instance of cake batter ice cream not tasting artificial, having an aftertaste, or being overly sweet. The cake chunks were massive. The blueberry lemon poppyseed was utter brilliance. A bright base with all the flavor of the finest lemon poppyseed muffin you could imagine with thick ribbons blueberry , I'll call it a compote (pure fresh saucy blueberry). The other 2 stops I made I ordered sundaes. The first was their May mocha sundae including chocolate cake sandwiched between 2 scoops of espresso chip ice cream with mocha sauce, a biscotti, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. The second was their classic sundae with brownie between 2 scoops of your choice (tiramisu & blueberry), walnuts, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry. Both were phenomenal and I love the presentation. The assembly, ratio of toppings and honestly every aspect of the sundae is perfect. I go at off times so I love sitting on one of the 2 benches out front. So relaxing. They also sell pints to go. I can't say enough good things. Honeycone is a true gem, as good as an ice cream shop gets. Definitely check them out and support this incredible place!!

They offer a variety of seasonal flavors, and they've just swapped to their winter ones! I got a cup with gingerbread ice cream and chocolate orange ice cream. There were a bunch of other flavors though, like a peppermint one and eggnog! Since there's a good number of seasonal flavors, it was hard to figure out which one to try! While they unfortunately don't offer samples, they do offer an ice cream flight with 6 small scoops for $13.50. Tempting, but I unfortunately didn't need 6 scoops so I went with just the two! A cute option nonetheless. They do let you mix and match flavors of the scoops you get, so I got to try two. The flavors were phenomenal, I was so happy to get try them. What a pleasant little surprise in the middle of a cute shopping area!! I certainly recommend it here.

I filled out the online form for cake request and she turned back to me shortly with her design idea that captures what I envisioned and quote. She was very quick to respond, kind and accommodating to all the request. She prepared the cake in a very short time. The delivery was good and she provided me instructions on how to cut it and store it. It was very professional, yet I left feeling very satisfied working with her and welcomed with my needs. The artist side is a whole different level of top notch effort. She captured my theme immediately. When I received the cake, I was in awe! The details of the cake is a real artist's masterpiece. I fell in love with the cuteness of the baby bees, the delicacy of the daisies, the partially darkened way to represent the realistic honey comb... Everyone admired the cake. The cake was made inside with blueberry buttercream and coconut cake. It was super tasty. She used dye for our baby boy birth sex reveal. The outside was mixture of buttercream, fondant, chocolate.
