“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.“

“By far the best coffee shop I’ve found. The eggnog latte was - words cannot describe it. I’d marry it. I’d drink it year round. The lavender honey is also amazing. The people are as fabulous as the coffee, if that’s possible. ☕️❤️“

“I’m actually mad at myself for being too scared to try a new place because this cafe is SO cute and the food and beverages I got are SO amazing! And super friendly staff. Chipotle Blt, peanut butter and chocolate latte with oat milk and dandelion tea. All of it 10/10.“

“Loved this spot. Super nice employees and enjoyed a Hot Lavender Haze Matcha so much!“

“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.“

“Awesome Lil place, staff was nice and friendly, waffle dessert was awesome! can't go wrong If you are a waffle fan and Sweet Yummy desserts! highly recommended“

“I love the warm welcome. The coffee and all of the items I have had from here are 100 %delicious.“

“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. ;)“

“It has a great atmosphere with incredible food and accommodating service. Worth stopping in to find out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed“

“I love cafes, and this one is one of the most unique!!! The bagels are so close to NY bagels, and I LOVED them. The donuts were a little dry but such creative and fun flavors. Very tasty.

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!“

“love this place. my only advice is make more bakery items because any time you go past like 11 or noon almost everything is sold out :(“

“Truly an incredible place with even more lovely people. Places like this are what keep our city wholesome. And of course they have tasty yums and bevs“

“The service is fantastic and the food is delicious. I’m in love with the chicken and waffles! Topped with hot honey is spot on. But it’s the smiling faces and warmth that keep me coming back. Although a big old breaded and fried piece of chicken and scrumptious waffle doesn’t hurt the case. 🫶“

“went for the first time today for a breakfast sandwich. What a hidden gem we found!! We will definitely be back again and probably sooner rather then later!! Staff was very friendly, sandwich was excellent and the cafe is cute. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!!“

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

“Lovely little café me and my friends found while we were looking to pass some time. Was greeted immediately with a smile and a menu. The atmosphere was relaxed. Ordered myself the cinnamon roll (which was amazing) and an earl grey French 75. Can't wait to come back here!“

“great food and the owner is great!“

“The best shawarma with garlic sauce you can find in Rhode Island!!!!!!“

“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. WOW! Great job! Well done! This is an excellent addition to your menu for those looking for a little sweet. All the best!“

“Yummy chai lattes and delicious breakfast sandwiches. 🙂👍🙂“

“Best coffee in town with very friendly and knowledgeable owners. You will not be disappointed. New to Providence or just visiting, enjoy a cup of coffee and get great suggestions on what to see and do. They are supporters of local artisans for all your souvenir needs. Can’t say enough good things about this place. ❤️“

“6 of us went. Everyone loved their sandwich and service was excellent. We will be back!“

“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!!“

“My coffee was amazing and the food was great. The servers have always been friendly and that’s hard to find around here. Thank you for being consistent, it makes all the difference.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have driven by this place so many times and finally stopped for the first time yesterday. Amazing! I had a cinammon raisin bagel with maple walnut cream cheese and a toasted turtle iced coffee. So incredibly good. Please support this local business!!“

“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“

“The coffee and atmosphere were amazing! Highly recommend this spot.“

“The catering for the coalition was superb. The chicken was so tender, the meatballs were flavorful, the food was fresh and hot. The Chocolate chip cookies though put a smile on everyone's face.“

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

“Went to Dough Bros for the first time today and I was very impressed! Shop was very nicely decorated and comfortable. Service was excellent, they were patient with my excited kids and the prices were so much better than similar shops. Most importantly for me with my kids - it was EASY. Similar shops in the area have challenging parking, super crowded areas and are tough with littles. This was perfect. Got the doughnuts home and they were outstanding!“

“Good food, cute environment, kind staff!“

“Great place“

“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!“

“The employees are very friendly and welcoming! Love the smoothie of the day!“

“This is my favorite corner of Brown. The baristas, the food, the atmosphere are unbeatable! Shoutout especially to the fantastic and talented Tevah!!! Make sure to pay a visit when you find yourself walking through campus or attend one of the many awesome events hosted there.“

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

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

“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!“

“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 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 🌟“

“The breakfast sandwich on a fresh biscuit was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in Providence! I'd recommend that you pay the extra $2.00 for the biscuit upgrade and not skimp; it makes a big difference. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich on an English muffin and it was good, but not quite as good as on the biscuit. The coffee here is also excellent. If you're planning to stay at the cafe, you should know that it can be tough to get a table. A lot of customers seem to study or work here for extended periods, so tables only infrequently become available. I'd recommend ordering your food and drink to go by default whenever you visit; you can always nab a table if you're lucky enough to have one become available while you wait for your order.“

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

“I have been coming since I was a baby with my parents. The food is excellent. I absolutely love the blueberry pancakes! The staff were quite nice and respectful! Some people have put bad reviews, but do not believe them because this restaurant is the BEST!I would recommend if you wanted to have a nice lunch or breakfast in the east side!“
