50 Best Cafes near Barrington

“Overall very good food, chefs are great. Summer hires are rude and impatient however. So just “for future reference”: The line gets crowded quickly, small place. To avoid the staff becoming frustrated with you, make sure to: 1) Pick your menu items quickly and 2) pick drinks quickly, and if they are from fridge take drinks with you to final register If you do not do this, you may be called out in public by folks at register, and it can be a little embarrassing. Check menu online and know what you want before you go and you should have a good experience!“

“Great food and an assortment of tasty desserts! Trendy atmosphere and service with a smile!“

“Popped into this café this morning with my family and was pleasantly surprised at their selection of croissants available. Giant gourmet croissants. I had the pistachio croissant and the filling was absolutely delectable, very nice texture and not too sweet. My husband had the chocolate croissant and he said it was delicious. Our little one loved the matcha cookie. My favorite was their iced matcha with almond milk, very nice that they offered matcha! The owner was very kind and you can tell the staff really values their customers’ experience.“

“First time try…. played it safe, and got my ice caramel latte, although they had so many specialty coffee’s that I was tempted to try. Owner and or employee recognized we were new faces and asked if it was our first time. When I said yes he handed me a free large sample of their “OG” which was very good, and I would def go back for or try another specialty! Customer service experiences like this are always huge for me and also if your a plant person and love coffee this is the place for you!“

“Went on google maps looking for a little breakfast spot. Found this gem. Nothing bad to say. Crepes were a perfect balance of all ingredients. Golden Latte hit the spot. Atmosphere was the right amount of cozy and inviting blended with bright and cheerful. Definitely worth the stop.

P.S. if you look at posted menus here beforehand- there are no waffles. ;)“

BUT THE DRINKS🤩

I got the Matcha Guava Beet powder with soymilk. It was SO tasty!!!!

It’s a very tiny space but they do a lot with it. I also love the fresh flowers 🌹. What a lovely touch!“

“Wonderful place to eat the best Middle Eastern food in RI , they also have some outstanding deserts, I would recommend this place for sure“

“great food and the owner is great!“

“Had a great flat white here. The breakfast sandwich was good; I didn’t request any add-ons and if you’re looking for a bit more flavor, I’d definitely recommend adding something like avocado and greens. Don’t get anxious if your coffee is ready 10 mins before your food, the staff didn’t forget your food, the breakfast sandwiches just take a bit of time to prep. I’m looking forward to coming back here“

“So this morning I go to get a breakfast sandwich and was introduced to a new feature. The operator of the cafe' has made Raised Donuts. She gave me the flavors and I chose the Maple Bacon Donut.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. ❤️“

“It's great to see the Xo Bar open again! It was always one of our top lounges to go to back in the early 2000s! Now its even better with the new hang out lounge area! It's so hard to find a nice place with cozy couches in RI. It has a great set up and friendly service! We will be back!!“

“I want to say the food is great and Tammy is a pleasant woman. She is a very hard worker and will do anything for the customers. The other woman I feel like she just seats around.“

“The Watermark Cafe is RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) owned dining venue. Though many RISD students come here regularly, the general public seem to always drop by and enjoy toasty treats and healthy meals. The cafe serves excellent fresh sandwiches, wraps, burritos, soups, salads, fruit, local yogurt, organic smoothies, espresso drinks, fair trade coffee, and organic tea. A lot of the stuff is kept local, organic, and healthy-conscious.“

“My family and I recently visited the RISD Museum in Rhode Island, and it was a memorable experience. After enjoying the impressive art collections, we decided to grab some drinks from Cafe Pearl. We ordered a mocha latte, an Americano, and a hot chocolate.

However, when I tried to pay, my credit card was declined multiple times since it wasn’t a US card. I only had enough cash to cover the hot chocolate. I asked the staff to cancel the rest of the order, but to our surprise, they generously told us not to worry and gave us the mocha and Americano for free.

Their kindness truly made our visit special. Thank you.“

“best breakfast sandwiches and bagels in the state! 💯❤️“

“Prepare for the most delicious smoothie of your life! This place is run by a sweet doña with the kindest smile. The name caught me and I had to go inside. It's very bright and colorful inside and they have a ton of beverage options. They also have like 20 topping options for your drink! I will definitely going back. I am very glad that I found a banh mi place and a smoothie place on the same block!“

“excellent light fare, fast service... going there again this week.“

“I just had my first experience at Caffe Bon Ami. The owner was so welcoming and immediately knew it was my first time in- seemingly because he knows his patrons. He asked me many questions to ensure my coffee was perfect. He’s been “doing what he does,” for 31 years and it shows in the product.“

The counter where the food is ordered is a bit further back to the right. Hard to see, but stop by.. nice change, too.“

“Like others have said, I've been eating here for almost 30 years and have always enjoyed it. Great club sandwiches, burgers, breakfast all day, pizza when they have it, and other items. The tuna is fantastic. Somethings are a little pricey, but overall a much better value than newer places opening up, and better variety.“
