    the interior of a bakery
    Jan R.

    I had no idea that this bakery was so close to us. Our daughter-in-law cannot eat gluten and we always struggle to find some thing that's tasty as well as gluten-free. Mike went into shop here so that we could get rolls for a cookout and was delighted to see that they had hamburger rolls as well as Italian crusty rolls. The pastries look delicious. Mike bought some cannolis to serve and we are absolutely thrilled to be able to accommodate Kate and make some thing as good as what everyone else is eating. This will definitely be our go to for breads and pastries in the future

    Went here for the first time today after seeing them post about a vegan Boston cream cake! We were met with the aroma of freshly baked sweets upon entering the bakery (one of the most amazing smells ever!) the bakery was bigger than I expected and had a freezer full of vegan goods. There were also plenty of other treats that are non-vegan both in the freezer and in cases that were out. The bakery itself prides itself on being allergen friendly as they carry many products that are gluten, nut, and dairy free. I wasn't sure how our cake would taste as I wasn't a fan of gluten free treats that I've had in the past at other places, but it looked awesome so I was dying to get home and try it. Unfortunately, I had to wait a bit longer to eat it. Since it was frozen, it took a few hours for the custard to completely thaw out, but boy was it worth the wait! Both my husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how tasty the cake was. The chocolate and the custard was yummy! We ended up eating way more than we should have. The cake itself is pretty large and is reasonably priced. I look forward to coming back to try other things. I definitely recommend this bakery!

    Sampling event this past weekend

    The assortment of products here amazes me. I am not gluten free and never really knew the extent of it but I was surprised by the amount of options you had to choose from. There were pastries, cheesecakes, frozen desserts, frozen savory foods, pastas, ice cream cones you name it. I even had vegan ice cream for the first time at their sampling event this past Saturday and I was thouroughly impressed. I ended up buying the Brazilian cheese rolls because they were amazing! Whether you're gluten free or not I would definitely check out this bakery!!

    My new favorite  --spinach pie

    Awesome hidden gem!! Now my favorite bakery! Was immediately greeted as I walked through the door. Clerk was friendly and informative. As I looked around everything was well organized, nice & neat as well as well-labelled. Everything was gluten-free and vegan --such a great variety, from pantry staples such as pastas, to specialty items like gluten-free crust pizzas with dairy-free cheese & vegan. Lunch specials can be had, spinach pie & chicken soup, great lunch! The bakery --tried the apple pocket, yum! Tried a cutout cookie but icing stuck to plastic wrap so only tasted the cookie but it was good. The slice of cheesecake was a winner! Have a new favorite shop!

    It is St. Joseph's Day. I have never had a zeppola and it's about time I did. So off we went to…read morestand in line at The Original Italian Bakery. The bakery has a small parking lot with about half a dozen spots. A policeman was on duty today to direct cars to the Walgreen parking lot next door when this lot was full, and to let them in when spots were open. As the line of people waiting outside the door to get in was constant, this was very smart planning and much appreciated. Some folks seemed to know St. Joseph's Day was very busy here and had placed orders in advance. These smart shoppers skipped the line and quickly came back outside with their orders bagged up. The line moved pretty well with four shop assistants helping customers. Only about 10 guests, max, fit inside at a time. Once inside bagged breads like sandwich rolls were on shelves while calzone and other meal pastry were in a case. Then, there were three cases full of zeppola. During our visit they had chocolate, pistachio, ricotta and original available. We got one of each. I cut my first zeppola in half and see the cream filling sits all the way down into the pastry. These are firm enough to hold in your hand and bit into. The pastry is very much like that in an éclair. Firm while being light and airy. The original filling is a lovely custard. The chocolate is a fluffy cream base I believe. Both were very tasty. I have two more to try and am looking forward to them. Between these tasty pastry and other items they had for sale there, we'll be back. You should check them out too.

It was filled with crunchy almonds and warm melted chocolate. Absolutely delicious!

    What a lovely bakery for baked goods and cozy vibes!…read more I enjoy sitting down in Seven Stars Bakery every now and then to work remotely. The Cranston location is very well kept, the staff are lovely and there's plenty of space to settle down. I love the open feel of this location with every corner having its own flair. The service for drinks is very quick. This Seven Stars location has such a charm to it - tons of natural lighting and the interior design feels timeless, classic and clean. There's an assortment of baked goods and ample options to choose from. My favorite items are the croissants and cheese danish both very airy and enjoyable with a cup of coffee. There's definitely something for someone. With a family of croissant connoisseurs I always leave with a box filled with these crescent shaped goods and they're just as tasty at home. If you're looking for classic bakery and coffee combos Seven Stars Bakery will have something to give you that morning boost. I enjoy the presentation of the pastries and the overall atmosphere of the cafe - clean, open and the perfect place to be productive. Seven Stars definitely deserves their name!

    *GLUTEN-FREE ALERT*…read more I'm just now learning what a Guatemalan quesadilla is & I want one every day for the rest of my life. Thankfully, we have Cafe Ava for that. A Guatemalan quesadilla is sorta like a cornbread or a pound cake or a piece of actual heaven. It's got a thick but soft texture, it's a little bit sweet & a little bit savory, & it's topped with sesame seeds. My mouth is watering just writing about it. Cafe Ava makes their Guatemalan quesadillas with rice flour, so they are gluten-free. GLUTEN FREE PERFECT LITTLE PIECES OF HEAVEN. Anyways, I know where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast.

I went with one of their most popular signature drinks, the tres leches iced latte. It was very sweet and tasty, but the sweetness was a bit overwhelming. My husband got the flan iced latte, and it was the same experience for him. The quality of the coffee itself seemed fairly good but just a bit sweet per personal preference. I didn't get the chance to try their food. That being said, if you have a sweet tooth, this is a perfect spot to try. I'm planning to come back to try their food and a regular latte to really get a taste of what they offer. Location: This location is on the main street and is pretty artsy. It's a perfect spot for a coffee run or to meet up with friends. They have a really cool painting and overall aesthetic, and even a swing, which adds to the interior design and makes it cozy and unique. There is also parking in the back of the building. If that is full, street parking is available and easy to access. Service: The service was quick and efficient. We spoke to the barista who was making our coffees, and they took our order and prepared our drinks in a timely manner. I will be coming back because I feel like I need to try the food and more latte options!
