Great place for a breakfast sandwich that hits the spot. The shop is small with a few seats inside but it gets crowded fast. If you can, it's best to order ahead online, otherwise there can be a long wait, especially on weekends. The Sunday Sandwich was great. Order the sauce on the side if you want the hashbrown to stay crisp. The sandwich is indulgent and satisfying. Our only change would be if the bread could be crisper or slightly more toasted to contrast the rest of the textures in the sandwich. Overall, a solid spot!
Came to Amy's for Sunday brunch and had a delicious meal! I got the Chive On (scrambled eggs, chives, hash brown, cream cheese, sriracha honey on a bolo) and Matcha Smoothie (matcha powder, mango, banana, spinach, oat milk, coconut milk, honey). Loved the subtle sweetness from the bolo bun contrasted with the savoriness of the eggs, chives, and cream cheese. Also thought the smoothie was really well-balanced and had the perfect consistency and amount of sweetness. Service did take at least 40 minutes, but it was peak weekend rush hour so understandable. There's a good amount of tables indoor and outdoor, but lots of traffic so you could consider taking out to the nearby park. 10/10 would recommend!
Maybe my expectations were a little high going in. After all, I've heard so many great things. Don't get me wrong, it's good! Potentially a little over hyped though. First, a warning. Do not wait inside for your food unless you want to smell like a deep fryer. The smoke from the kitchen grill permeates the whole place and you will leave smelling like you got off a 8 hour line cook shift. This place is pretty inexpensive. Seeing that I should have known better, but boy this was a sandwich for ants. Don't expect to come here and get full unless you get at least 2 of these if you have any kind of appetite. The bolo was nice. Soft, could have been a little more toasted IMO, but what was going on inside was better: pickled onion, cheese, egg, avocado and hot sauce. Texturally it was good (crisper bolo would have been a nice break from all the soft), the spinach helps a little with that, lending some crisp. Flavor was on point, the acidic and tart bite was really nice and very familiar for me because I lean into these flavors with my home cooking. Just know what you're getting when you come here. It's a simple breakfast sandwich shop and if you have those expectations, you'll love it. If you love cheffing up breakfast sandwiches at home, I'd probably pass.
Back on the RI Food Fights #BestBreakfastSandwich trail, we stopped at Amy's Place in Fox Point. This tiny breakfast spot was packed! And for good reason - the food is delicious & comforting, worth every minute of the wait. We took our sandwiches to go. I selected the Sunday Sandwich: egg, american, bacon, hash brown, spicy aioli, guacamole, greens and tomato on a bolo. That's their description... this is mine: crispy bacon, a perfectly cooked egg, melted American cheese, fresh tomato & lettuce, creamy guac, a golden hash brown & a punchy garlic aioli, all piled onto a fluffy Portuguese bolo roll. It is the kind of sandwich you dream about after a long week. Yes, it's that good! Hubby selected The Hangover: egg, cheddar, bacon, spinach, sautéed onion, guacamole & hot sauce on a bolo. It absolutely lives up to its name - bold, satisfying & exactly what you want when you need a serious breakfast reset! Amy's isn't just about the sandwiches, either. The coffee is excellent, the smoothies are fresh & flavorful, burgers & tacos are unique creations. Everything comes out with that made-with-care feel that keeps you coming back for more. The space itself is small with limited indoor & outdoor seating, so it can get crowded pretty quickly. Pro tip: ordering ahead makes things much smoother if you are short on time. Perfect for small groups of two to four to dine in & anyone who plans ahead to takeout, Amy's Place continues to earn its reputation as one of Providence's best breakfast spots & a definite must-stop on the RI Food Fights trail!

My friend and I came here on a weekend to grab, what we thought would be a "quick bite," but it ended up being a 25 ish minute wait. They were transparent about the wait - there was a sign and they told us before placing our order. The inside is small, but despite that, they are able to seat about 8-10 people between the high tables and the high chairs facing the windows. The menu is well organized and offers breakfast and brunch type foods - breakfast burritos and tacos, sandwiches, burgers, and the typical breakfast - eggs, bacon, potatoes. I was hungry and wanted something filling, so I decided to go with their burger. I was originally intending on getting Amy's burger, but I wanted cheddar instead, so I built my own burger. My friend had a sausage egg and cheese, with a latte. We waited inside, and then took the food to the car after. The burger was tasty, and still pretty juicy. The toppings were fresh and the cheese was perfectly melted. The bun was soft on the outside, but crispy on the inside. I loved the sauce, I wish there was more of it for additional flavor. You could ask for a double patty but I am glad I stuck with one; It was thick enough and allowed the rest of the flavors to be present. For $7, it was a good burger.
The best breakfast/brunch spot in the area! It was my first time checking out Amy's Place and everything I got was above and beyond my expectations. They stop their food menu around 1pm on Saturdays and I made it just in the neck of time. The staff was patient and was happy to take my order, I got there just 3 mins before they stopped their food menu and put my order in right away and they were very accommodating. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I also got the Amy's burger and it has a nice kick to it. You can also add in a side of fries. The chai latte was amazinnnngggg! I was pleasantly shocked since I'm a big coffee lover - it did not disappoint. There's indoor and some outdoor seating and the service was quick.
We finally had the pleasure of trying Amy's last week! I think you should just come on over and check it out. I know a thing or two about breakfast sandwiches and it's CLEAR that the Amy's team does too. Great ingredients. Great ratios. Texturally sound. The cold brew was NOT too strong. Amen.
I visited Amy's Place this past weekend to grab breakfast with a friend! On a Saturday morning, this place was PACKED out the door. Customers zooming in and out to pick up their orders and sitting all around the tables of the small location. It was about a 30 minute wait after we ordered so it's good to stop and shop by the local businesses in the area. We split the Hash It Out with bacon and The Hangover. Each sandwich has ingredients which compliment each other. Super delicious. Those sandwiches + the smoothies we had made me super full and satisfied. Make sure to add hot sauce for that extra kick! I wouldn't have this every weekend, but it was nice to try and I'd come back to try their other sandwich options.
This was my first time at Amy's and wow! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing! You can tell the show is loved because it was packed and people were willing to wait 30 minutes for food and beverage. And I can see why---it's amazing! I placed my order, walked around the neighborhood to shop, and came back. I hear they are opening a Newport location and I am very excited for that! I think the space will be a bit bigger and it will be closer to me! :)
My first bite of food into the food scene in Providence and I fell in love. The sandwich in 30 degree weather was a great bite to start out my day. Though it might have been a mistake to grab a smoothie in the cold weather on a warmer day it would have paired better. The smoothie was fresh and very customizable. The only down side is the wait. The wait was about 20 minutes for my order since it was quite busy for 9 am. The sauce paired well with the protein and the portion was great. I can see why there was a massive line outside the door for this hidden local spot. The staff were also friendly and had great recommendations.

Disappointed today. The menu consists of several sandwiches available on wraps or bolos. I ordered the Spring Toast and my friend ordered the Hangover Special. My sunnyside eggs came dark on the bottom and raw on the top. I asked to have it remade and they offered to do them over easy. Okay, I would have preferred the sunny side up, but ok. The second sandwich came out after my friend was 3/4 through his. Unfortunately those eggs were also raw, but dark on the bottom. Both times servers explained the eggs to me, which I did not really need, I just wanted to be able to eat breakfast. It's especially a bummer when an egg sandwich is pricey and you end up not eating. read more
Although a bit pricey and small portions, the taste of Amy's is unbeatable. Best breakfast in providence area IMO. The breakfast sandwich with bacon spicy aoli and hash brown and greens is to die for. Their iced chai is also crazy good. Only problem is their closed mondays and tuesdays!!!!! I did pay 17$ for drink and sammy which is a bit much but still tasty of course. read more

Lovely little spot on busy Wickenden St in Providence. Gluten feee bread is optional for $2. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, with kind and happy staff willing to help answer questions. Great outdoor seating for a quaint date and there is seating inside as well. read more

Amy's place is definitely one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Providence. It's conveniently located and walking distance from downtown, surrounded by other restaurants and shops. They have the option to add hash browns to your breakfast sando (which I personally think is a game changer). I would recommend the hash it out sandwich! read more
This adorable yet hipster coffee shop was delicious. Staff was very friendly, menu choices were well thought out, and coffee was flavorful. My friend and I got the Hash it out. She ordered it as is, and I got it without bacon. It was nice because the woman who took our order suggested I get it with greens instead and it was very good. The hash brown had the perfect crunch t it to add to the sandwich. I will definitely go back and will probably stick to the same thing because it was that good! read more
Rating from an out of state visitor here! I came here a few years ago because my wife went to school out here. This is her go-to spot. They did remodel the place so it has a bigger kitchen now. A bigger kitchen means a bigger menu! They have burger options now! She got the "lite and easy" which consists of egg whites, fresh fruit, and dry toast. I got the vermonster (special) and it consists of scramble eggs, hash brown patty, American cheese, and maple aioli in a wrap. Both were DELICIOUS. We also got a couple of tasty smoothies. Wife was super happy to be able to visit here again. I was happy she was happy and I had yummy goodness in my belly. This place is 5 stars (wife threatened me if I gave it anything less). I was going to give it 5 anyways Well deserved ! A must stop for breakfast or lunch if you're in the area. read more

Excuse me, but Amy's Place puts the b in brunch and burgers! This bad boy pictured below was a breakfast BURGER ~the legend~ made with cheddar, bacon, hash browns, maple aioli (omg!), with an over easy egg + fries! Perfect carby deliciousness especially when it's a chilly day out! read more
On sunny days, Amy's Place is typically crowded out the door as it's a favorite among students in the neighborhood. We've passed it on Wickenden many times, and figured it was finally time to see what the fuss is all about. The food is quite good and inexpensive! I recommend the Vermonster - fluffy, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs and crunchy, salty hashbrowns with sausage & melted cheese make for a great breakfast wrap. My SO enjoyed the Hangover. Smoothies are decent, but seemed to separate unusually quickly. (I got strawberries/bananas/regular milk) The coffee is high quality, brewed from New Harvest Coffee. We were going to get our order to go, but through miscommunication ended up chowing down there. Inside, the tables are mostly shared or for groups of 4+, yet we noticed two people hoard a table of 6 for themselves. There are high top counter seats around the perimeter, but these are noticeably less comfortable/spacious. I do appreciate the bright natural lighting and plants! As long as you manage your expectations for available seating, Amy's is great for breakfast! read more
I don't know how I've lived in Fox Point for two years and not gone to Amy's before. I will tell you two things: 1. The first time I came, I didn't even eat anything (I was meeting friends during a time of fasting, so they ate) and I was still prepared to give it a five star review. I was really amazed! Selling points: coziness of patio space, delectable presentation of food and smoothies (great quality/quantity for price), a self-serve water (with fruit essence) station, AND the fact that as an apology for neglecting to fill my friend's order in a timely fashion, they gave her a gift card. How awesome! 2. When I returned the following weekend-- Brown graduation day, mind you-- I was validated in my five star conviction. My friend and I shared banana chocolate chip pancakes with berries and a Greek omelet, and both were rad. We still found patio space and were served quickly, despite the fact that chaos was happening everywhere else, and I just loved the atmosphere. The people are friendly; the food is good; you feel relaxed and happy there. Kudos, Amy. read more
Cute aesthetic spot on the bustling wickendon street in providence. They are Unfortunately not open as much as I would like them to be but when I do manage to make my way to Amy's I am never disappointed. All of their breakfast sandwiches are so good and automatically come on Portuguese bread which is a game changer! Love the hangover breakfast sandwich which comes with a spicy aioli that brings the sammy together perfectly. The sandwiches are a tad bit small and not much seating in the building but what can you do! Also love the iced chai!!! Sweet and creamy! read more

Ordered a side of bacon and this is what I was given. The restaurant isn't usually this careless but this definitely knocks it down a few pegs. Will reconsider coming back for breakfast read more

We found this gem while looking for a nice brunch spot after most of the brunch spots had closed. This place was perfect, just what we were looking for, delicious smoothies, perfectly cooked omelettes with veggies, fat pancakes, coffees, bread (why yes, we did order too much food, how did you know?) Highly recommend, get atmosphere and cordial staff. Outside seating was fantastic and the parking surprisingly was not a hassle, no really. Anyway I give thumbs up, we are brunch people always on the hunt so we will be back read more

I was visiting town and stopped at Amy's. Friendly staff and delicious food. I had the Sunday sandwich - amazing! read more
I was in Providence this morning and stopped by Amy's for an amazing brunch that was ridiculously affordable! You order your food at the counter and then find your own seating - indoor and outdoor available, both out front and a patio in the back. I recommend getting the Vermonster wrap - it's the perfect sized portion, and I loved the subtle maple flavor from the maple aioli. We also tried the Hangover special, which was tasty, but if I went back again I would get the Vermonster. read more
I've heard a lot about Amy's place from Brown students but each time I've tried to go, there was no space to sit! Usually I ended up settling for another brunch place on Wickenden such as Brickway or Cafe Zog. The hype around Amy's place is real... the food was delicious! Though it may be hard to get a seat (and even if you do, you could still be extremely cramped), it is worth it. My friends got a variety of dishes while I got the California omelette. If I had more time to contemplate my order, I probably wouldn't have gotten that since it doesn't actually have meat in it (and I am a meat-lover). However, it was surprisingly good despite having no meat. The yogurt on top of the omelette was strange but honestly great if you spread it evenly across the top of the omelette. It was even better when I added some of their hot sauce on top of the yogurt. My friends absolutely loved their pancakes; nobody had any leftovers. Amy's Place may always be packed, but that's a tribute to their delicious dishes, friendly service, and warm and inviting atmosphere. 5 stars! read more

Even though it was packed, the wait was reasonable. The food was delicious and easy to work around picky eaters/allergies. The food ranges from comfort to healthy, depending on what you want to order. Coffee has free refills, which is fantastic on a dreary morning. The community table is usually packed, but it's a community vibe near the universities in the area. It's busy but for a good reason. read more

Food here was soooo good. Staff was super friendly and were helpful with food selections and drinks. Small place but it's cozy. Will definitely be back! read more
Absolutely love this little spot! Such a cute place with GREAT food. Has that hipster feel like a lot of places in Providence and is casual. You order at the counter and then they bring it over to you. The only downside is that it's pretty crowded, hard to grab a seat/table, and you have to wait around for your food and feel like you are in peoples ways. But excellent breakfast sandwiches and yummy, fluffy pancakes. Everything tastes like it was made with love & homemade. Could go here for breakfast every Sunday! read more

Came to Amy's this morning after searching on Yelp! It did not disappoint. The restaurant is tiny and I almost had to take it to go. A three-top opened up and I felt guilty taking it as a party of one but my food came quickly and I ate it even quicker. I ordered The Hangover and it was a decent sandwich. I liked the bread and combination of egg, hot sauce, and avocado. I didn't order a side of hash browns and I wish I had because I was still a little hungry. The coffee was unlimited and available for grabs. It was definitely a hipster local place but they were quick and kind! read more

Can't believe I hadn't been here soon. I've missed out! This place is awesome. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the selection was great. Will have to come back and try the burgers! A cool little atmosphere with incredible food, what more can you ask for? Try it! read more
We go here often. I get the hangover it's awesome my favorite !!! I've retired the breakfast burrito also very good. The hash brown is awesome!!!! It's a small place but very cozy. In the summer there is seating outside in the back patio. They have different breakfast options such as pancakes, yogurt, breakfast combos (2 eggs, toast, bacon or sausage ) smoothies which are delicious !!! read more

The food might not be perfect, but the atmosphere here seriously soothes the soul. I feel like I'm sitting in someone's home and eating breakfast that they just made for me. When you're that cozy, it doesn't really matter if the eggs are a little greasy or what have you. I've been on a mission to sample every bacon egg and cheese in the Providence area. This version doesn't quite match up to the gooey deliciousness of BGO, but it's solid nonetheless. I went for a bolo (Portuguese roll--kind of like an English muffin with a little more sweetness to it) instead of a bagel and was not disappointed, although if I were trying to munch away a hangover I would opt for the more filling bagel. Skip the coffee--as others have said, it's brutal. In case you still dare to try it, there are free refills on a large ($2). They also serve a wide array of specialty drinks (seasonal special: eggnog!) so that might be a better call. Overall, Amy's Place is a charming and inexpensive place for breakfast. I will definitely be back the next time I need a hug in the form of a meal! read more
Great breakfast place! You order at the counter and then they bring you the food. I got the eggs, bacon, toast and potatoes. The potatoes were perfectly cooked! They were soft on the inside yet fully cooked an crispy on the outside. They also butter your toast for you which I love. They have cute seating in the back as well as the front! Def need to go to this place if you are in town! And it's reasonably priced. read more
