Every dish we tried was delicious, and you can tell the ingredients are top-notch. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself is spotless with a warm, inviting atmosphere. We enjoyed every bite and genuinely left excited to come back. If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that goes above and beyond, this is it. We’ll definitely be returning for more amazing meals for breakfast and lunch!“

“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!“

The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, always eager to recommend something new or tailor a drink to your taste. The coffee is top-notch—smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed every time. I particularly enjoy their signature lattes and the selection of freshly baked pastries that pair beautifully with the drinks. The seating area is comfortable, with a nice mix of quiet corners for working and a lively vibe for socializing. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or settling in for a while, it’s always a pleasant experience. Highly recommend!“

“As a board member of our PTG I’ve used Cafe International twice now to cater breakfast for the teachers at Stadium School in Cranston. The owner was very helpful with suggestions on what to order, the food is always fresh and so delicious. The cinnamon sugar bagel and iced spiced chai is a personal favourite. Prices are reasonable and ordering and pickup is smooth. Thank you, we will be back in the spring for Teacher Appreciation week!“

Super cute chairs, decor, and great music. A must try Providence cafe. Definitely check them out!“

“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.“

“Gorgeous Brown University student-run cafe and bakery. They make fantastic coffee and tea. They make bao on Mondays and kabob and curry other days. Muffins are delicious. Overall a really good place to have a snack or a meal and enjoy with a friend or alone!“

“Fantastic. They made me the best iced mocha I've had since I've been back in the US, exactly to order, and the bagels are great. They have less wasteful packaging than most places these days, too; not super-eco, but they haven't completely given up, like most coffee places in New England. And there are lots of places to plug in a laptop and chill by a window. I'll definitely be back.

Parking: I don't think this is a driving neighbourhood.

Wheelchair accessibility: The building is a bit of a rabbit warren, alongside a bit of a hill—there may be wheelchair access, but it isn't obvious.“

“convenient and great staff“

“I'm biased being as I'm the owner. I believe our coffee is the best in town and fresher since we deal with a local roaster in Providence. No sweet flavor shots here; the flavored coffee we sell has the flavor roasted into the beans. Many people do not know we are located inside the Attleboro Commuter Station. We sell coffee as well as a variety of snacks, muffins, and pastries. You can buy train tickets from us and we help maintain the station and restrooms as well. Come in and see us: we'd love to get to know you!“

“The Staff is amazing and the food is great! My favorite place of all the great sandwich shops that participated in the #BestsandwichRI Showdown.“

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