Very cute little coffee shop bookstore, located in an antiques store…read more Chai latte was very very good! Ice is real big though. $7 they have seasonal flavors of coffee. Ice cream, and sandwiches, which I liked the chicken salad on the sesame bagel. The pastries, also very good! we got the raspberry square and a chocolate chip cookie. Service was prompt, and polite. Parking is off street in a lot. Also right next to a little lake or whatever body of water, which makes it serene, in my opinion.

But service is kind and prompt with attention paid to patrons! I wish I could say the food or drinks helped redeem the experience but the chai latte was a powder mix and the food was so limited and bland it really didn't do much to help. A skip on local cafes for sure.

I needed a few cupcakes for a mid-week birthday celebration. Being a bit of a nerd myself, this…read morebakery instantly caught my eye--it felt like a match made in heaven. And honestly, it was. I found the shop tucked away in my old stomping grounds, and when my GPS announced I had arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see it now occupies what used to be a beloved old Italian bakery. There's a small parking lot right next to the well-marked entrance, and their adorable bespectacled cupcake logo makes for a charming first impression. Inside, the space is a nostalgic dream for fans of all things pop culture. The décor spans across countless beloved universes--Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Harry Potter, Pokémon, Mario, and more. Familiar faces like Batman, Spiderman, Thor, and the Hulk line the walls and shelves, giving the whole place a fun and immersive vibe. But let's talk about the real stars: the baked goods. The display at the entrance is packed with eye-catching treats--cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and beyond. Everything looked just as mouthwatering in person as it did in the photos that initially drew me in. In addition to desserts, they also offer cannoli, cinnamon rolls, brownies, breakfast wraps, sandwiches, bagels, toasts, bowls, and a variety of drinks including coffee, smoothies, and iced options. Since I was there for cupcakes, I picked out three flavors: Mocha Cappuccino, Banana Pudding, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana. I only got to try the two banana ones, but both were delicious. The Mocha one smelled heavenly though! A surprise bonus--the cupcakes had fillings, which I wasn't expecting. The frosting-to-cake ratio was perfect, and the cake itself was light and fluffy, yet sturdy enough to hold up the frosting. The owner was super helpful in guiding my selections and genuinely lit up when I asked about the bakery's background and theme. They host themed events too--like an upcoming Star Wars Day breakfast with a buffet, character meet-and-greets, goodie bags, and more. I don't live in the area anymore, so coming back would be a special treat--but I definitely plan to. Getting out of the parking lot was a bit tricky due to the busy nearby intersection, but it wasn't too hard to navigate. A small inconvenience considering everything this place has to offer. Bottom line: this bakery is a delightful, nerdy, sugar-filled gem. A perfect place to treat yourself!

The shop itself is surprisingly large and beautifully decorated. They have a counter and another room for sitting. Their menu is on a board but they also have some printed out as well. I ordered the London Fog and the Sunrise sandwich. The staff who took my order was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. After I ordered both the drink and sandwich came out quickly. I loved the London Fog. The tea was high quality and they used the perfect amount of vanilla. Sweet but not overwhelming. Normally I would order an Asiago bagel but the employee recommend an everything bagel and she was right! The bagel itself was a great texture- crispy on the bottom and softer on the top. Their pickled onions were heavenly and everything tasted great. I could have done without the arugula and I found some bites to be a little salty but this definitely wasn't a miss! If you can find parking I highly recommend stopping by for some great food and even nicer service.

Flavoring didn't have that chemical taste that most places have when they use those standard syrups. We will definitely be back!

I ordered an apple tart and a small piece was $7.50! Yes, it was good, and the cream was wonderful, but paying about $2 per bite is outrageous. The value of their drinks might be a little better. I ordered a Cortado and it was delicious. The volume of liquid wasn't too low. $4.25 I would give it 3 stars, but I know not everyone is good with money and many are willing to pay these prices on the east side Providence. The staff was nice, but nothing over the top.

The back up is the Almond Croissant and the savory twists, oh did I mention the breads? Olive loaf so loaded I can barely stand it, Cheddar loaf? Yes please! The list goes on. The staff are fast and friendly, the line can get long certain times of the day and week, but they get everyone through in good time. The inside has a bit of seating, some private tables for 2 or 4 and picnic style to accommodate more. The patio is my favorite place to enjoy my scone and coffee. Shade and sun are bothe available and the little sparrows begging for a hand out are wicked cute. They also have a small lot and some benches in front. I have to admit I forgot to take a photo, I dove in like I hadn't eaten in 12 hours. Which was true to my defense.

And boy did it go well. Let me back track a little bit. This place serves Tea AND they do tattoos. What in the actual HELL, genius! I love love love this idea, and no this place is not sketchy at all, it's is so hip and I freaking love it so much. It's street parking but no worries it's worth it. When you walk in you're immediately greeted with smiles and you walk into great hip hop music, big tv's, arcade games and just a great atmosphere. I noticed they had a lot of regular customers, and they treated all the customers with the upmost respect I love this. Now to the Tea, they have everything all the names are pretty hip and the flavors are bomb! All types of flavors, to cater to all taste buds! I don't know much about the tattoo portion but I know the guy who does the tattoos does them in a very clean room, in the back area. And well I wanted to get a tattoo and he's booked all the way until May right now and it's only November, and his work is amazing. He's done my sister and mom's tattoos I'll be next! Everything about this place I love. My sister did her clothing pop up shop here and the vibes were amazing. Everyone is so supportive and the atmosphere and look of this place for sure made the event successful. I fully support this place and I'll be a regular customer and make sure I bring others. Check this gem out!
