“The food was incredible the service was great it's BYOB was our 1st time we will come back“

“I recently discovered Brewed Awakenings, and I am hooked! I visited the Cranston location. The staff was so friendly. The cafe was spotless, and Paul, the manager, is so warm, welcoming, has a stellar personality, and completely makes my morning. It's been tricky trying to find a solid cup of iced coffee that has all of the bells and whistles. I shared with Paul my favorite flavors, and he immediately whipped up the perfect cold concoction. It was my first time trying coldfoam! It is by far the best iced coffee I have ever had. Pictured is brewed Smores iced coffee with Oreo cold foam, crushed oreo cookies, and a smidgen of chocolate syrup. 10/10 recommend. I'm already looking forward to my morning cup.“

“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. ;)“

“Absolutely love this coffee shop! From the moment you walk in, the cozy atmosphere makes you feel right at home. 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!“

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.

“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!“

“Love this place. Just moved from NYC. Bianca has made me some of the best mocktails I’ve ever tried. Explain your palate and watch her bring it life. She nails it every time. I’ve tried mocktails and cocktails on this menu and it’s one of my favorite spots Providence so far.“

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

“Tucked back in an industrial Office Park is one of the most quaint and cleanest coffee shops I've ever walked into. They have an amazing menu as well as a good assortment of baked goods and bagels. They make their protein smoothies and breakfasts fresh.
What a gem! Highly recommend!“

“Stopped by for RI Food Fights, got an iced coffee with caramel and oat milk. The coffee was good but the food was out of this world! I had the opportunity to try the special: rice and beans. It was so flavorful! Definitely get it before it disappears!!! The new owner was so friendly! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Cafe Tempo is hands down the best staff and coffee in Rhode Island. It never disappoints. I hope they never get too corporate or big and lose their neighborhood charm. The staff wears these visor hats now reminiscent of McDonald’s. I know I’m nit picking but could be the sign of a more corporate mindset“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Large portions, excellent service. I highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“Healthy & Fit Nutrition is by far the best herb-a-life shake around. Tons of protein, low calorie and the taste is amazing! Not to mention the TONS of different flavors to choose from. Z, the owner, welcomes everyone with a smile, and is a friendly environment!“

“I was a bit early for my train. Decided to grab a coffee, added a grill cheese to enjoy. They are very nice and friendly and the grill cheese made me dance of joy. 5 🌟“

“I LOOOVEEE mochi donuts and I'm so glad this place opened up near me in PVD!!! They always have interesting new flavors and they're perfectly chewy and soft and delicious. Please stop in and grab one so they can stay in business!!! 🙏“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in the country, loveee their breakfast sandwiches ♥️, and the cortado is a must!“

“If you haven't been yet, go, go now! My co-worker goes pretty much every morning, I wanted him to see that he was missing out on the best part of the day, so I took him for lunch. The Cubano is the best in the city (I lived on Second Street in Miami so I know how amazing a Cubano can be, this variation is a party on your tongue!) We washed it down with one of their many amazing refreshers (seriously they are all delicious so it doesn't matter which one you get, start at the top and order a different one each time, you won't be disappointed, think "healthy alternative to Red Bull, but delicious" then prepare to be in love and addicted). The atmosphere and the service will have you coming back again and again. Bring a book, the work you should have finished, a friend, your daughter, but bring an appetite!“

“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.“

“Friendly staff, delicious shakes and teas and great prices- what more could you ask for“

“convenient and great staff“

“EVERYTHING is amazing!!! Coffee, pastries, staff, environment, culture, all top notch.“
