“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!“

“I only gave 4 stars because I only had 1 thing to eat. Ill return and if it stays consistent, it will go to 5. This is cute Lil place in Richmond square building. It sits in the open, but has about 4 2-seat tables. I had a bagel which was nice and there are a lot of tasty looking sandwiches on the menu, that I look forward to trying. Its a cute set up, and the gentleman behind the counter was very friendly. He let me try a small sample of his very popular red beans and rice. Its very similar to a Louisiana dirty rice type dish, it has a small bite but nothing to over powering. He has some delicious looking baked desserts as well. I had little time to stay and try what I wanted, but Ill make more time my next visit.“

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

“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.“

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“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.“

“Stopped by for RI food fights and both the coffee and the food was delicious. Our barista was super friendly too. Highly recommend the cinnabon iced coffee and the breakfast burrito. The burrito was super fresh and had this amazing crema on it. I also had an egg and cheese that you could tell was super fresh. The atmosphere of this place was so cute too. Super cute chairs, decor, and great music. A must try Providence cafe. Definitely check them out!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I made a DoorDash order here, and unfortunately the driver forgot half my order. I was credited for the missing items on DoorDash, but I wanted to see what happened to them. When I called, the manager Holly confirmed the driver had left the items behind. I said I would place another order to retrieve them, as I couldn't pick them up myself.

She offered to personally bring the items to my location! She even threw in an extra cookie and a donut for the trouble! Holly was fantastic, and I praise her for her time and effort. 10/10 would recommend Corner Market Cafe in Scituate!“

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