Awesome little spot for food and drinks.

I honestly thought the chai latte was atrocious. Sickeningly sweet and very watery. I couldn’t even eat the tiramisu, it had no coffee fragrance whatsoever. Ended up throwing everything out. Not sure how it’s rated so highly, maybe I took the wrong things. Also, everything came in a plastic container even though I sat there and not to go.The premises are nice, however. There is an outdoor seating area and the staff are friendly. I’ll give them that. Otherwise, I truly wish I saved my 12$ for something else.

Would NOT recommend. Staff is miserable because the management is horrible. I worked there for 2 weeks and never got paid for over 30+ hours worked. Roaches all over the place. Absolutely disgusting.

I will suggest everyone stay away from this place.I wored here for a while and I will go into details.1.when I stated working he told me he was(owner) going to get my w-4 for me so I can sigh it and a week into working I didn't receive it when I started asking about it he started giving me shady answers.2.whwn pay week came around I went in to pick up my check and I didn't have one and up to now he has stopped answering my texts and when I called the place he give me a fake name.3.i did fill out the w-4 and even emailed him my social security number and photo as requested by him.4.the items there are not baked and they are frozen.5.the are roaches all over the place and even in the fridge and in the displace case and fyl I still haven't gotten paid yet.

Nice place with a wide range of menu options and a lot of outdoor seating. A great place for meeting up with someone or grabbing a quick bite. However, I came here to work and the wifi is essentially non-functional. I tried both inside and outside. If it did work, it was very slow. So I would definitely not recommend if you are reliant on wifi to get work done!

Would give this place 0 if possible they have roaches and mice like crazy just go to Madrid cream cheese with roach and latte roach if you need a little proof I worked there for a couple months and had bills to pay so couldn’t really up and leave once I found out about the infestations

This cafe on Wayland Square is really nice. The selection of pastries and food is excellent. On my first visit I asked for hot coffee and a couple of pastries. I originally asked for non-dairy on my coffee. When I tried my cup of coffee it had that lactose taste. When I went back inside to ask for another cup, the lady the at front asked me to pay for the drink again. Even though I did pay for the previous cup of coffee that they messed up. All in all, a bit pricey, they have no non-dairy options. I have heard from a few students that the ambience at night is nice, and they have live music. I would only go by for the music.

Our go to lunch spot in Providence. Friendly owner and delicious bakery and sandwich options. Highly recommended!

Food sweets bread coffee and much more. Smallish with tables indoor and out. The to-go foods definitely look good. Tried some desserts chocolate chip cookie bar and bread pudding yum yummy. Heated them up alamode.

Slightly overpriced, cookies and outside patio amazing. However our visit was cut short just now by the overwhelming smell of vinegar…I appreciate non toxic cleaning but this was just overpowering and not very inviting. We sat down and immediately got up and left. I might be back just for the lemon cookie.
