This is a cute little cafe, and the food, pastries, coffee are good. But everytime I come here, if I order anything that has to be prepared, I'm sitting there for 15 minutes if not more. Today, there were 4 people working. Even people ordering simple bagel sandwiches waited over 20 minutes. I was here for a half hour because not only did it take a while but they forgot to make my food. I don't understand, this place seems like a popular, in cute Pawtuxet village, and the service always seems sub-par. read more

I came here for an iced coffee as part of RI food fights best of RI and got their cinnamon signature blend. The iced coffee was excellent and the cinnamon buns and breakfast items looked superb! I will definitely be back. What a quaint gem to discover!! read more

Holy wow the cinnamon bun was absolutely delicious. Make sure to have it heated up! Friendly staff and fresh and clean interior. Forgot to snap a pic before we devoured ours! read more

See all

We got coffee, a match latte, a cruffin, a danish, and everything was very tasty! The staff was super friendly, and our order was ready very quickly despite it being very busy when we got there. Definitely a great place to stop while exploring Pawtuxet. read more

I was so looking forward to meeting up here with a friend for coffee and breakfast pastries. We had planned a lovely morning to hang and chat but after walking in to order I asked where their restroom was and they told me they didn't have one. I thought they assumed I was not staying and explained I was meeting a friend and was happy to order and sit first but they told me again there was no bathroom here. So, sadly I had to leave. I could not picture any kind of comfortable morning with coffee in a coffee shop where I could not once or twice empty my bladder. We went down the street to a crepe place and have made this our monthly rendezvous. I don't know how you can have a cafe with tables and chairs and no bathroom. So I don't know if this place is good or not. Will never know. read more

3.5 stars// Came for a free coffee for the RI Food Fights. Got the Maui madness I believe it's called? It's pretty good for a flavored coffee and they have a station where you add your milk and sweetener yourself which I actually prefer. They had some fun drinks like a "pinkity drinkity" or s'mores cold foam. I couldn't leave without trying some of the food. The cinnamon bun was okay. The biscuit was very good and I wish I got a breakfast sandwich on it. Ill have to go back to explore the rest of the menu! read more

I haven't been in the storefront for this business since they bought it from the previous owners, two years ago (?). Today, I was at the farmers market in Pawtuxet and saw some nice looking pizza slices, and picked out two as well as two scones, before I saw that the table was set with products from "Beans and Buns." I almost said "no, thanks" but shrugged and went through with the purchase. Sorry that I did. I had a pizza slice when I returned home. IT WAS AWFUL. I didn't notice until I took the paper off, but it wasn't a pizza per se, but a lot of tomato sauce on thick bread, with some "pizza cheese." I popped it in the oven for three minutes, but even so, the bread did not have the consistency of fully baked bread. The sauce tasted bland, with a hit of rancid something. I threw both pieces out. I am apprehensive about trying the scones. Needless to say, I will continue to avoid this joint. My gut is still burbling. read more

My go to stop for breakfast. They have the best chai latte I've ever had in my life!!! You gotta get spiced tho. It's good hot or iced. And the bagels and breakfast sandwiches are good too but they do take a couple minutes to make so just plan that in your morning or order online. Staff is always nice and working hard! Love this place so much. I've never had something I didn't like. read more

I come here often and was really disappointed to find out that they no longer give you chips and a pickle when you order a sandwich and yet still jacked up the price by $3. I understand no longer including chips and a pickle for free, but to increase the price while taking those away? Come on...I can't really justify $14 for a sandwich with no sides. read more

Love this place! Food is delicious, people are friendly, and it's super easy to order online or in person. Their poblano cheddar biscuit is unbelievable, as are their cinnamon buns that are the size of your head. Haven't tried their sandwiches or lunch options yet, but plan on doing so soon. Go check this place out - you'll be glad you did! read more

Great little shop in the village. I ordered a few baked goods online and the process was quick and easy. When I arrived, the gentleman behind the counter offered me different options for the danish that I ordered, which was very nice. I'll definitely go back. read more

I've been here three times. The prices are very high although the cinnamon rolls are excellent. The inside is small and nothing special. The reason for the low score is the staff is consistently rude and makes it very clear through their tone and body language that you are bothering them. If slow service, high prices, and a less then engaged staff is your thing then this is the place for you. read more

Sweet coffee shop in Pawtucket Village. Friendly staff, nice ambiance. Wish I could cozy up and read a book while sipping my coffee (mayhaps post-COVID). I like to order their seasonal veggie bowl to get my "healthy points" before diving into one of their signature cinnamon buns...Their cinnamon buns are TO.DIE.FOR! read more

I can't get over this place . The drinks the food it's all great! My go to is the Vanilla chai and the B.E.A.T sandwich! Always feel welcome and the surrounding area is pretty cool too! Check them out! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches & good muffins. The scones, however, are terrible. it's like eating a big dry piece of flavored bread. Consider making your pastries smaller and focusing on quality over size! read more

Really impressed with the kale caesar salad I had here today! A nice choice for lunch in Pawtuxet Village. The renovation created a bright space with more seating, too. read more

THE BEST COLD BREW & CHICKEN PITA WRAP! Best cold brew in RI that I've had - super flavorful & rich. Their chicken pita wrap is also PACKED & delicious! Highly recommend. The only bummer is there is no public restroom which makes it tough to hangout there if that's your plan. Worth the grab & go though! read more

Really delicious Bowl with roasted vegetables, rice and added chicken. Ordered To-Go and ate at picnic tables by the boathouse in Pawtuxet Village. read more

Beans and Buns is a must when in Pawtuxet Village! Their bagels are excellent as are the scones and baked goods. The chocolate chip cookies are the best. I love their Honey Lemon Ginseng iced tea as well. The coffee is awsome too. I can't say enough about the staff. They always greet you with a big hello, usually by name read more

My first visit to Beans and Buns by invitation of a long time resident of the neighborhood. The Burrito Bowl is a fresh, tasty and protein packed riff on Mex food featuring grilled chicken cubes over rice, beans and crushed blue chips in a mildly spicy sauce. Stand out accompaniments are a cilantro lime crema (in separate container to use as desired) and perfectly ripe fresh avocado slices. I filled up on half my portion and enjoyed the rest at home over fresh greens later. Will definitely be coming back often for this delicious meal at a great value. read more

food is great, coffees are amazing, it's a very popular place and the line is usually out the door. The staff are really friendly, but one particular girl that works there is so slow-moving. I waited 15 minutes for a latte... a very simple order with no one in front of me. Shouldn't take this long. read more

Friendly staff and good selection of treats. Coffee varies in quality which is hard to understand. It's hard to get past the strong smell of cleaning supply that is always in the store and permeates the packaging for the pastries. Bagels shouldn't have a light Lysol smell. Many friends have commented on the same problem. Would also be nice to have a fully contactless payment option during pandemic instead of having to sign a printed receipt each time. Really want this place to succeed. read more

Fantastic coffee and out of this world baked goods. Cinnamon bun is HUGE, delicious and so legendary... You haven't lived until you've had one. Sandwiches and salads also recommended - fresh, creative flavor combinations. Way more interesting than your usual deli options. Delightful patio to sit and enjoy too. A beloved village GEM at the heart of the community. read more

I accidentally deleted my first review so here it is again! This is a great little cafe with good coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. Every time I'm in I get the ham and Swiss sandwich and it is always delicious! Everything about it is perfect from the thick cut ham to the buttery crunchy bread it is served on. It is a little steep in price but worth the money to try at least once! read more

Not only are the breakfast sandwiches and coffee delicious but that staff is superb! I was in on a very busy Sunday morning, the online orders pouring in, and the staff couldn't have been working harder! You could clearly tell they were juggling many orders while battling the heat but they remained composed, courteous, and efficient. Impressive! read more

I have been hounding here every weekend for several months now. The food is very delicious and consistent. I would highly recommend getting a coffee bun, the best I have had. read more

I stopped by beans and buns after visiting family in town. I had the most delicious egg sandwich on the best biscuit I think I've ever had in my life. And that Cruffin! OMG. Can't wait to go back to Cranston read more

came here on a whim around lunch time, the sandwiches are absolutely amazing we had the roast beef, turkey avocado, and turkey bacon sandwiches and each one was 5 stars. the little one devoured three pickles! the coffee was also quite good, had a medium roast with vanilla. the honey bun was huuuuge and worth every penny. will def be back next time i'm in the area! read more

no greeting at the door, just a glance and that's it. therefore, we left rather quickly. spread joy.

This is my husband and I's favorite place to stop when we are in Cranston. So far we have had the cinnamon buns, sausage breakfast sandwiches, and double chocolate muffins, and they are delicious !! We look forward to being able to try new things each time we go as well. The staff is always friendly and smiling, and we love their plant decor! read more

Everything is just amazing! A visit there in the morning makes my day. While all the breakfast pastries and beverages are super tasty, you will not find a more delicious and perfectly made cinnamon roll... it's a must try! read more

Delicious bagels, bagel sandwiches, pastries, and beverages. Everything is so fresh!! And the staff are very kind and sociable.

This was the most unpleasant place I've been to. We went in with great expectations since we peered through the window and saw a wide variety of options. The unpleasant experience started with the man waiting on us who was the rudest person who should not be serving people! There are no prices posted and since I've never been simply asked, do you have just regular iced coffee, he snipped, right there on the breakfast board! So I ordered a large iced coffee, a cinnamon bun, and a breakfast sandwich with a couple of extras. Then came the shock, $27.00! What! We asked how much the sandwich was and he said the cinnamon bun was $6.50, I'm like no I don't want that. Then he gives us a new total $13.77, what the hell! I don't know how this was determined because I wasn't offered a receipt, so what was removed that cost $14.00? We'll never know because we won't be going back! Do yourself a favor and go to another small business that actually wants your business! read more

We've ordered bagels from Beans and Buns a few times now. Due to COVID19, there is usually just one or two people working, taking online orders, phone orders, AND walk-up orders. They are ALWAY hustling, and having worked as a barista myself, I can tell they are juggling a lot, and yet they have always been friendly when interacting with customers. My partner went in to pickup our online order the other day and said a customer was being very rude- complaining out loud that they were taking too long and being argumentative when the barista was trying to apologize for the delay. We felt awful, because they are obviously trying their hardest and doing a great job during such difficult times. We wanted to leave this review to say we appreciate the staff and we've always been impressed with their prompt service and the quality of the food and drinks. They are literally killing it and we want them to know! Please support this business if you live in the area! read more
