“Eaten here quite a few times, and have always had great service and food. Brad over at the pizza station is definitely the best, because he always makes sure to pay attention to what you’re asking for, and is quick to make things right if something is off. Would recommend anybody to go check this place out as they have multiple different buildings and they all have been the best anytime I have gone by.“

“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!“

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.

It’s the kind of local place you’re happy to support—great food, great people, and a reliable go-to every time. 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!“

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“First off, let’s start with the space. I’m visiting from a big cityyy so my expectations can be a little high — but this place is absolutely breathtaking. The vibe is cozy, upscale, and still relaxed enough to just kick back and enjoy. It feels refreshing and thoughtfully designed without trying too hard.

Bianca, the bartender who helped me out, was incredible. She has such a well-crafted, extensive specialty knowledge and was amazing at guiding me through the menu when my indecisiveness kicked in (which happens often). She’s relatable, friendly, a little edgy in the best way, and the space felt very queer-friendly and welcoming because of that energy. I’m already looking forward to coming back and chatting it up with B again.

Only small con: the payment process. It would be a nice upgrade to have handheld devices so guests don’t have to give up their phones to close out. Small detail, but it would elevate the experience even more.

Overall, a fantastic spot and definitely worth visiting.“

“Went for lunch while working down the street, and it was everything I was looking for. Delicious grilled chicken wrap, can’t wait to try the other items on the menu👍“

“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. ❤️“

“Took my mom for a late lunch and we loved it. Our sandwich was delicious and it is such a cute place ! Plenty of parking, too! I can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“My new favorite martini spot!“

“Went on Monday in the pouring rain after a day of shopping at Wrentham. What a cozy atmosphere, small but so comfortable. Then the waiter came over quickly and was attentive throughout the meal without being intrusive. Our food included Breaded Palomilla Steak, Enchilada de Camarones, and Ropa Vieja. Loved the congris (rice with garlic and black beans) and plantains both salty and sweet. The flan, shared for dessert was the just right ending. I wish we lived closer because we would be there often!“

“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!“

“I absolutely LOVE Pinku. Upon entering, everything is pink and cutesy! There's free wifi. They offer coffee, many boba flavors and a wide, ever-changing selection of deliciously creative mochi donuts! (which are lighter than regular donuts and super addictive...) Plenty of good deals offered in-store, on coupons, as well as the Too Good To Go app. This location also has a coin-operated claw machine with super cute plushies you can win! It has quickly become one of my favorite spots to grab a regular coffee or coffee boba and donuts by the half dozen!“

“convenient and great staff“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“
