    Sin is one of the best bakeries in RI! Any baked goods I've ad from here is amazing! I especially love their mini pies that they make especially for pi day. It's been a tradition for a few years and l love it. I always go for key lime. It's so tasty! I've worked or done classes from here a few times. Their coffee is yummy and their space is colorful and inviting. The staff is always friendly too. I love sin. It's a providence gem!

    Two rhubarb scones, also two pumpkin walnut muffins. I also got a peanut butter gluten-free brownie with peanut butter moos for my daughter.

    Totally upbeat and positive experience like always. So it's HENEH. Perfect he was very wonderful. He was acceptable. He also explained what things were and we're waiting on too good to go back but we always get our coffee from here so we can relax a little bit before we go someplace else but was an incredible server really good behind the counter experience and patience. as always. It was nice and quiet here in the streets not too busy today so able to find good parking. I wish they had more outside seating.

    Stopped here late on a Saturday afternoon and there was still a very good selection of desserts. I got the blueberry lemon bomb, blackberry and champagne gluten free cupcakes. The blueberry bomb was incredible and worth the high price of $10. I was less impressed with the blackberry cupcake as it was a little dry and the frosting not very sweet. The champagne cupcake was a pleasant surprise as some of the GF stuff I've got in the past (other bakeries) just weren't good. This cupcake was super moist and flavorful. Will definitely be returning here for more delectable goodies!

    Bacon breakfast sandwich

    Met here briefly and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. The space is very nice, I liked the floral painting on the wall. There's a case of baked goodies including a good amount of gluten-free options and a bar, which is cool. I grabbed the bacon breakfast sandwich which was super yummy. I like the biscuit and *woo* it's gluten-free! I also grabbed the orange cardamom mousse bombe to go. It wad light and had a yummy sponge cake inside. I couldn't finish it by myself!

    Sorry, broken camera. But here's my iced americano & gluten-free zucchini muffin!

    I've always loved Sin, but I loved them a little bit extra today. I came in looking for a sweet gluten-free treat, & was delighted to find that there were so many options. The nice employee behind the counter pointed them all out to me - Not once, but twice. I had a vicious case of morning brain. I checked out with a gluten-free cupcake for $3.50 (which I think is decently reasonable, considering the size, quality, & lack of gluten) but couldn't get the breakfast sandwiches out of my head. So I joined the back of the line again to make a second purchase. I decided on a bacon breakfast sandwich on a gluten-free biscuit. The employee even toasted it for me. It was *so* good. Small, but mighty. I haven't had a biscuit in what feels like a century & so this sandwich nearly brought me to tears. Sin is a bakery, yes, but don't miss out on their coffee shop vibes during the day & quiet bar vibes at night.

    The space is clean and colorful. They have great gluten-free and vegetarian options. I've ordered cakes from here that have been absolutely mouth watering delicious.

    I purchased tickets to the dessert holiday tasting at sin and it was more than what I was expecting. They had a table show casing the holiday desserts we were going to sample and not only did it look delicious they tasted pretty good too! Once you had the opportunity to sample the desserts your stomach can take, there is a chance for you to place an order for the holiday and receive 10% off the desserts that were displayed. I really loved how they allowed us to grab as many desserts as we want, complementary coffee and water was available, and I didn't feel rush. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. I originally had a table right by the AC and when my friend asked to move to a different table they were super nice about it and let us move. A introduction of the tasting experience would have added a nice touch but overall I had a pleasant experience and my sweet tooth was definitely satisfied.

    i ordered a too good to go order from here and thankfully i scored a parking spot right up front, when I walked inside the atmosphere is very peaceful and the murals on the wall are beautiful! i was greeted right away and it only took about 30 seconds to get my order, inside my mystery box was a bunch of brownies and they were absolutely delicious will definitely come by here again to try some more treats and eat inside! p.s if you haven't tried the too good to go app definitely check it out it offers mystery boxes from many different places at discount prices to help reduce food waste!

    Got a birthday cake from here with red velvet filling. Cake turned out great and tasted amazing. It wasn't too sweet which I liked. The cake was reasonably priced and served 18-20 people. They have rolls and other good stuff too. Would definitely recommend getting a cake from here.

    Have had many items from Sin and never have had a complaint. Came tonight for the Holiday Preview Tasting. Everything was great! My faves were the tiramisu, chocolate cream pie, orange cranberry cheesecake and the chocolate chip cookie. The best thing I ate though was the biscuit with honey butter! Top 3 Espresso Martini in my book. Great night and I hope there is a Christmas preview!! Lots of seating and everyone was so friendly!

    I ordered my daughters birthday cake there on September 31st. I sent them the picture of a high heart cake and asked them to duplicate it in pink. We got the 8 inch.The cake was perfect! We got champagne with strawberry buttercreme frosting and it was the best buttercreme frosting I ever had! Everyone loved it. My daughter loved it so much she ordered a heartshaed red velvet with cream cheese frosting in between the layers and a buttercreme frosting on the outside. It was a disco decorated cake and my daughter said it was the best red velvet cake she ever had! I can't wait to order more cakes for the holidays! Anyone old enough to remember Ann's Bakery in Silverlake and loved their frosting needs to order their cakes ftom here with the buttercreme frosting. It is perfect and not to sweet like most are. Definitely best cakes ever!

    Providence Creme Pie and friends

    Sin is nestled in an ecclectic and interesting place and there was so much to see in the area on this beautiful day. There's a few tables tucked against the building as well as seating inside. There was also a flowchart at the entrance to help you decide if you needed a mask. I love a good flowchart! They are themed after dessert being a sinful thing. But it's all portioned in not so gluttonous servings. They are also clearly well known for their event cakes - the models looked amazing. They gave me my iced coffee with room to add, oat milk and liquid sugar was at the bar. They use New Harvest here, so of course it's local and it's good! I also had to have the Boston... er... Providence Creme Pie. It was nice and thick, not too sweet, not too soft. They will make you want to come back for more. #RIFoodFights #BestIcedCoffeeRI #BuyLocalRI

    Moldy dog treats
    Sydney B.

    I went into grab a quick dessert and noticed dog treats behind the counter I decided to grab three for my dog & the dog I watch. When I got home I discovered the treats were covered in mold. I was so disappointed and disgusted I felt weird consuming my desserts. I called to let the server know and they informed me they noticed after I had left. Luckily, they pulled them off the shelves, but I couldn't get a refund over the phone and I wasn't going to make it back to the area before close.

    I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

    I bought a cinnamon bun ($5) and it was basic. Once you bite it, you realize it is just a brioche…read moredonut with some frosting. There were no cinnamon-butter layers inside it. The frosting was incredible though. That stuff could go on anything. The cinnamon buns at Oak Bakeshop and Whole Foods are much better with those typical gooey layers inside. Also, it was not large in size, anyone can eat it in one sitting. The worker who took my order was very friendly and it is so nice/comfortable inside there.

Super flaky and a lot of delicious flavor from the filling and garnishes. It was very busy when I stopped by midday. They were out of some items already (I missed out on trying the French onion croissant before they replaced it with another menu item). I did find a spot to sit outside but I can see it being even harder to find a seat during peak times. It's a bit off the beaten path yet it's known and popular for a reason. I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying more items and of course the coffee!

    It was a Wednesday afternoon, and I was craving a good latte. I had seen this place on social media…read moreand added it to my list of cafes to visit. There is a parking lot in the back, but I was not sure if it was for the café or apartments downstairs, so I just found street parking nearby. The inside gave me Spaniard vibes because of the cream, smooth walls and dark wooden accents. The following were the two things that instantly caught my attention when I walked in: They have merchandise on display for sale and it seems like high quality material and they had a vehicle made of croissants on display, maybe about 1.5 ft x 1 ft x 6 inches. They have their pastries on display which helps visualize what you're getting before buying it. They are unique and big in size. Their drink menu is good and includes a mix of teas (including matcha) and coffee. I went with the bee latte which was supposed to have honey, cardamom, and cayenne. I was interested in seeing how sweet, herbal/minty, and spicy would taste together. I was also [easily] self-convinced into getting a Za'atar croissant. After our order came out, we walked outside and sat at their patio area which has about 5-6 tables enough for two people each. The latte was good. I appreciated how it was not sweet, but I did think the cardamom was too subtle. It seemed like the cayenne was powder just sprinkled on top and I might've inhaled half of it on my first sip, so I was dying a bit. The Za'atar croissant was given to us in a brown paper box with the outside of their building drawn onto it. Since we asked for it toasted, it was warm and extra crispy/flaky on top. It was flat (about 1 inch thick) and about 6 inches in diameter, so big enough to share if you're just interested in a light snack. The inside of every swirl was packed with olive oil, middle eastern herbs, and lots of sesame seeds. Although it may take away from the traditional flavors and way of eating it, I wish it came with something to dip it into like whipped cream cheese or smashed olives. Nonetheless, it was delicious. On weekends, they have a laptop free policy which I think it good to allow for more people to enjoy, rather than people taking up tables for a while to do work.

First, the young woman who took care of us seemed to keep 'checking out', as in, she seemed to temporarily fall asleep with her eyes open. She would become non-responsive and we'd just wait for her to acknowledge us and then repeat what we said. So that's weird. Even after she said 'OK' and went over to the register to ring it all in, we had to repeat the order, again. The Americano coffee was not made correctly. It literally tasted like dirty water. Definitely did not use the appropriate amount of espresso in this drink. The Mocha was not blended correctly and was grainy with a lot of sediment at the bottom of the cup. I was unable to finish drinking that. The friends we met up with mentioned they are surprised how many tables were open on a Saturday. In the past there was 'always a line' of people ordering and waiting for a table. During our visit there were several empty tables. The pastry were very tasty though, so that was nice. They do have a nice selection of pastry available and we might try some more of those offerings another time. The ambiance is very cute. Bus your own tables. On street parking.

    5 Stars for a great strawberry matcha latte and phenomenal cappuccino…read more This coffee and matcha shop has so much more to it than a typical coffee shop. It has a ton of Japanese treats in the fridge as well as shelves. They also have a bar and sell wine and fun cocktails. They brew Bolt coffee (a local brewer and coffee shop) and make a truly exceptional cappuccino. Like, really really good third wave style espresso drinks that I've not found at other shops in Providence so far (two week visit). I was initially worried their iced strawberry matcha latte might be too sweet, but that was fortunately not at all the case! It was balanced and mild. Just be sure to stir it up!

I like the branding, brightness of the cafe, and the fact that there's a decent amount of seating. I got the Iced French Vanilla Espresso Latte + Espresso Teddy which was well-made, bold, and enjoyable. I think the Espresso Teddy is actually made with cold brew and not espresso which I expected given the name and would have preferred. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the slow melt and the boost of caffeine I got as I kept sipping. And it's super cute! The Iced Mont Blanc was also a good try; the sweet orange flavor was subtle and surprisingly enjoyable adding a bright taste to each sip. If I'm ever back in Providence, I would totally come back and maybe try their matcha drinks.
