“Had lunch there today and don’t know why it took me so long to go! The owners are wonderful with their over the top service, my tuna melt was mmm-mmmm good - loved it!“

“One of the best little surprises around. Food and deserts are great, drinks are awesome. My smash burger was out of this world. Service 5 star.“

“House roasted, amazing coffees, exquisite treats, and delightful baristas. Always a relaxing spot.“

“Super tasty bagels, great pricing and friendly staff. It seems like this place is super popular with the locals. The only thing I think could be improved is efficiency of the behind the counter staff. The wait for the bagels was insane, and according to a local is very common. I think he said “if you want to kill an hour, come to Bristol Bagel Works.” While we didn’t wait an hour per se, it was probably a good 20-30 mins with only 6 people ahead of us. I would definitely come back if I was in the area.“

“I would gladly return but I did feel the pricing to a bit high for Fall Riv“

“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!“

“We just came by boat with two little kids not realizing the new fall hours. The employee working saw them peaking into the window and was so kind bringing them each out doughboy donuts. It was such a generous and thoughtful gesture that truly made these two little kids day! We look forward to coming again in the spring (during hours your open)“

“I’m not a cat person but the establishment is great and I appreciate what the owner does to help the animals. I read some of the reviews below and I can say honestly it’s all false. If you dont like what it stands for don’t go but don’t tarnish what she is trying g to do. Every time I visit I get my RI kitty drink and pastry and chat for a bit. The owner was always pleasant to chat with and she is not rude the place doesn’t smell like what people say so please. Like I said just don’t go if that’s how you feel and don’t make the owner feel she is doing it wrong. When in reality she is doing a lot and doing it right by helping the animals the true reason for it. Help support the business Thank you“

“This place has the customer service that America desperately needs. America NEEDS this customer service. Sweet ladies working there asking us how our day was, if we like the food, where we were from, like they treated us like royalty. They came to our table to pack our stuff when all we asked was for a bag. Linguica bread was delicious, they grill it and serve it hot. Latte was perfect and their breakfast sandwiches are tasty. But would made everything so much better so much greater was the service and a smile. The lady was smiling from the moment we walked into the moment that we walked out.“

“Excelente sabor 👍 Sin duda regresaremos.“

“Awesome ice cream but very inconsistent on soft serve cone sizes either really big or very small no matter what size we order.“

“We just had the most amazing pastry from Sweet Rose—made with zucchini, of all things! I’ve never had zucchini taste this good (sorry, Mom!). Light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just right. Huge compliments to the bakers for turning a humble veggie into something so delicious. This was easily one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend this bakery. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“We go here a few times a year. We ordered donuts today for my son's birthday. We did it through door dash. I wrote a little note asking for specific donuts that he would like. They gave us what we wanted, plus one extra, plus a little note. It's the little things in life that mean a lot to me. So i take appreciate that. It means we will keep going back. Thank you to whomever did this for us this morning“

“I have been coming to this coffee shop for 15 years and it’s still my favorite place for an iced vanilla chai latte. When my kids were little we would get snacks and sit and color, and then I did homeschooling with my kids here for some time out of the house, and now we come to read, relax, and enjoy the baked goods!“

“This place is pure magic! Casey is above and beyond helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. He helped me to pick out a variety of unique cheeses and extras for my charcuterie board. I learned so much, too! These are cheeses of high quality and rich taste that you could never find in a grocery store. Highly recommended Effie’s oat biscuits and any of the truffle cheeses. Yum! Edgewood is the place to go for charcuterie newbies and pros alike - Casey will take good care of you!“
