    Rhody Hen is a super awesome place. I love to get breakfast at when I am in the 401. I went with a friend of mine cause I was staying over at his house and he lives right around the corner. The service is good. The restaurant is usually busy as it is a very popular spot. The food is good. The service is friendly overall a great experience typical diner vibes. Very small intimate space. One of the better breakfast spots in Pawtucket.

    Great breakfast spot, and very reasonably priced. I loved the healthy breakfast omelet as it was loaded with spinach, feta, and mushrooms. The fruit was fresh and sweet; coffee was great too. If the day is nice, definitely sit outside.

    We went in at 10 am on a Thursday morning. A couple walked in a half second before we did. They were immediately greeted and someone took their drink order they got their first and second drinks before anyone ever greeted us. Our orders were taken about 3 mins apart, yet they are more than halfway finished with their meals before we got our food. Our server (Madison) never checked on us but, honestly, it wasn't needed. Whoever is working the grill is amazing! I asked for over medium eggs and they were perfectly cooked. No trace of runny whites and the yolk was still runny. Absolute perfection. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came medium rare. Usually with smaller cuts of meat, I order medium rare and I get medium well. Not here. The pico is wonderfully fresh and limey. The beans are flavorful as is the steak. I was beyond delighted that the plate came with corn tortillas instead of flour which seems to be the typical offering in New England. The habanero benny was the perfect combo of sweet and heat. Not too spicy, but tons of flavor. We ordered the sauce on the side in case it was too hot, but it was perfect. Could've used more hollandaise, but no complaints overall. I wish I had more room in my stomach to eat other offerings (the seasonal French toast looks like it would make amazing dessert). If I'm back in RI, I'll definitely come back for breakfast. Hopefully the service will be more attentive in the future (the couple who walked in with us finished their meal and were gone a good 15 mins before anyone brought us our check).

    My favorite brunch place in RI! I would come here all the time when I lived in Pawtucket -- it is such a treat every time. I order something different every time and there hasn't been a dish I dislike. Parking is limited, but you can find street parking in the area. The wait is long on the weekends, I've waited anywhere between 20-45 minutes but I think it's worth the wait every time!! The place is small but cozy, I have been to their other locations where the interior is larger but I find the Pawtucket location to be my favorite when it comes to the food and ambiance :)

    Went on a solo breakfast adventure after work. This is a small but cozy breakfast spot. Luckily, it wasn't busy, and I was told to seat myself. A kind waitress took my drink order and brought it over while I washed my hands in their well-kept bathroom. When I returned, my coffee and water were already waiting for me. After adding creamer, the waitress came back to take my order: two chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and crispy bacon. The pancakes were warm and fluffy, with a generous pile of whipped cream on top. The bacon was thick-cut and cooked perfectly. I left that plate empty. I asked for a coffee refill -- it was the perfect temperature and blend. I paid my bill and sat for a while, enjoying the early afternoon and slowly sipping my coffee. Can't wait to be back.

    The Rhody Hen is a solid choice for a hearty standard American breakfast. Service is prompt and friendly, and despite the small footprint of the restaurant, they are able to squeeze in a decent number of tables. I enjoyed The Rhody Hen omelette, with sweet caramelized onions, mushrooms, chicken sausage, spinach and Swiss cheese. The red skin breakfast potatoes were well cooked and seasoned, and they offer plenty of toast options, including my favorite (rye bread)! Their coffee is from local Downeast Coffee Roasters, and the servers make sure you're consistently topped off.

    Easily the best breakfast food I've ever had. The place was busy but that didn't prevent the staff from being attentive. I highly recommend eating here!

    Coming back to Rhode Island just to come back here. Are you kidding me? What a gem this place is. I love the cozy environment but it's no where near simple when it comes to their offerings and rotation of the menu and seasonal drinks. I was thoroughly impressed by the service and QUALITY of the food. Our server was kind and attentive and we took our time enjoying every single bite. The pumpkin pancake has to be the best pancake I've ever had and that's by no exaggeration. Definitely make the stop here if you're in the area and you won't regret it.

    Seriously, New Year's resolution to get fit? I vote for get fluffy it's gonna be a cold winter we all need that extra layer of fluff for insulation! This month's specials are seriously fantastic! My tastebuds are so happy! Did an eye roll over the first bite of the cinnamon swirl French toast....didnt think I needed it but the Vermont maple syrup soooooo good. I've become addicted to their bloody Mary's....they offer a variety of types and I highly recommend you try each of them (it requires multiple visits which is a huge plus!) my fav is the tequila Bloody Mary....there's just something about it. Hey if you've decided to go for the New Year's resolution of fit, you need a reward.....this is a great option!

    Crab cake Benedict with avocado and grilled steak tip Benedict with caramelized onions and mushrooms
    Taylor S.

    We went here a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post this review. Service was 10/10. She was really nice and helpful. I did not catch her name, but her recommendation for adding avocado to my crab cake Benedict was spot on. I definitely had low expectations for the crab cake Benedict because it's a breakfast spot and usually the crab cake isn't the best on the menu. But wow was I wrong. The crab was so good! Some crab cakes I've had are all breadcrumbs, not this one. This was a legitimate crab cake, crab in every bite. And it tasted really good too, seasoned nicely and not fishy at all. Easily just skyrocketed to my number one favorite breakfast dish at a breakfast restaurant. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. So tender as well. Highly recommend adding mushrooms and caramelized onions as well (I will definitely get like that every time). We also split a churro waffle (it was a special that day, I'm not sure if they still have), but it was also fantastic. It had caramelized bananas and churros on top. I couldn't finish. Took it home and it was still super good. I highly highly recommend. Make sure to try the crab cake Benedict and add avocado!!!

    This place makes good omelettes. I really enjoy the Hot Kiss Omelet, which comes with chorizo, onions, peppers, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese, and is topped with pico de gallo and fresh avocado.

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.

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.

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.

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.
