Stopped by Cafe Tempo the other morning for a quick breakfast on the go…read more Grabbed a simple egg & cheese on a toasted whole wheat English muffin, atleast I thought so? They ended up giving my a egg & cheese on A bagel but it was still very good! They don't use a cheap microwaved egg like some places do either. (The croissant is also a good option!) But let's be real here... that's not why I wait 7 cars deep most early mornings in a drive thru line... The cinnamon rolls are the reason. These things just hit every time man. They arnt really anything over the top like a thick cinnamon bun out of your oven or anything like that. They are your simple cinnamon roll with icing on it not frosting but they are just so delicious - easily the standout. (Sometimes they run out!) They're mostly known for their coffee, and you can tell. They have a hoping business and everyone usually leaves with a coffee amongst other options like their bagels or baked goods. Inside is pretty small with very little seating so not the best place to get any work done or hangout. Overall, they are a very busy place and most people put an online order in to beat the crowd. The drive thru service is pretty quick for being busy and also very friendly. If you're going, don't overthink it - get the cinnamon roll.

For the veteran…read morecustomers there is a drive thru window to use, but being my first time had to go in and take my time this morning. Plenty of drinks selections from coffee, lattes, smoothies, protein shakes, espresso, etc to meet you drinking needs. I went with the Deluxe Iced Chocolate Hazelnut w/whip cream and it was tasty albeit a little sweet for me (would recommend without sugar or whip cream as the flavor shots are sweet enough). Had not had breakfast yet, so wanted to spice it up with a firehouse bagel sandwich. Perfect combo if jalapeño bagel, hot ham, eggs and cheese to satisfy that fiery hunger! Service was quick and friendly as the staff slung drinks out the drive through window, preorders or those at the counter. Have rewards to signup for if going to be a regular here, gift cards available as well. Selection of flavored cream cheese spreads available if you are grabbing bagels for the office as well. There is no seating nor bathroom on site so definitely a grab and go, but definitely worth checking out for an outside the chain style coffee shop with some breakfast and lunch sandwich options! Check it out!

Providence Bagel on Hope was a fun first stop for RI Food Fights' Best Iced Coffee competition. I…read morewas warmly greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was happy to explain which iced coffee options were available and what was gluten free. I ordered an egg and cheese on a gluten-free everything bagel, which was delicious. They happened to be out of dairy milk, so my choices for my iced coffee were non-dairy milk or cream. I went with cream. The coffee was good, though not my favorite of the competition so far. I loved the playful duck theme throughout the shop. It gave the space a fun personality. The café was busy during my visit, and the team was also working through a new POS system that slowed things down a bit. Even with the technical hiccups, everyone stayed friendly, patient, and helpful while troubleshooting. Overall, it was a welcoming first visit with good food, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere. I'd definitely stop back to try more of the menu.

The green monstah is one of my fave breakfast sandwiches. I stopped in today for an iced coffee and ordered the smores iced coffee with almond milk. It was made really well!

Their iced chai is incredible and the Vermonster (sausage/egg/cheese/hashbrown/maple aioli in a wrap) is what breakfast sandwich dreams are made of.

Amy's is famous for their bolo buns and breakfast sandwiches! They get really busy on the weekends…read moreso expect to wait 45-60 minutes during peak breakfast/lunch hours. They close online ordering when they're really busy. One of my friends refreshed their online ordering around 11am and saw they were allowing online orders, but by the time the 6th friend tried, it had closed back up. I placed my order for one sandwich at 11:05am and the expected pick up time was 12:12. I ordered their hash-it-out, added sausage, and subbed the spicy aioli for their maple one. The bolo bun has a subtle sweetness to it, so it felt like I was eating a healthier, higher-end McGriddle. Everything was perfect. One was definitely filling enough, but I can see people getting addicted.

MOTW is a locally owned franchise of an international coffee shop chain, located very near the…read moreintersection of Empire and Weybosset streets. The initials of the name stand for Muslims of the World, and the staff working during my visit were both had family roots in the Middle East, a part of the world legendary for both hospitality and coffee. No surprise then that there was so much attention paid to quiet service, with all of my questions answered so that I could order just the coffee I wanted. The shop itself is clean, sunny, and bright, encouraging visitors to slow down and breathe for a minute. Much of the menu skews to sweetened spiced coffees with dairy and non-dairy "cream" options. The pastries are brightly colored, pretty, and looked wonderfully tempting. I had a hard time deciding what to get (and was illegally parked on Empire Street - oopsie!) so I defaulted to my usual - a basic iced coffee with cream no sugar. Holy cow! The coffee was a rich espresso, the cream was blended in, and the balance of coffee to cream was PERFECT. There was: zero bitterness, zero over-roasting, zero struggle to taste the coffee through the cream; and zero pretension. This was such an exceptional cup of "basic" coffee that I'm risking another ticket coming back tomorrow! And if I find legal parking, I'm sitting down, getting a pastry, and enjoying the peaceful vibe of this downtown pvd treasure.

I will start by saying that the lady working was EXTREMELY nice!…read more The inside of the this place is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. There is only street parking here and it is free. I only came here to try the viral fruit pastries, I was so excited to find a place that had them here in RI. I was pleased with the appearance and the taste of the 2 pastries (peach and strawberry). I also bought 2 pieces of baklava. The iced lattes looked delicious and the big croissants, but i will have to return for those items. The only thing I didn't like about this place was the prices! Omgosh $3 for 1 piece of a 1x1 inch baklava had my brain going wild. The fruit pastries were $8.50, the cheapest I have seen so far, but pretty small. The quality of the items was great though. I will return here in the future to try the almond croissant with a lovely iced latte. :)
