    the outside of a coffee shop
    S Nicole M.

    The tank. ..yessssssssss. Bess Eaton is back in Wakefield with their enormous - more -than - you - should - consume iced coffee in their signature environmentally unfriendly Styrofoam cup. The TANK. This drink could have been the nectar of the gods...if the gods were over-caffeinated freaks. I know that I shouldn't drink one of these gigantic iced coffees after 2pm because it pretty much guarantees a crappy night of sleep for me. But - I do it anyway because I LOVE my iced coffee made with crushed ice. It melts as you sip AND doubles as a crunchy snack once you've sucked every last drop of coffee outta that cup. Of course, it gives me the giddy-up that I need at the mid-day hour. Could I get that rush with the medium iced coffee? Yup. But there is something empowering about swooshing around a full 32 ounces on a hot summer day. The brew is robust and flavorful. I prefer their iced version over DD because here the iced coffee is consistent. Not always the case at the other place where it ranges from good to really, REALLY bad. Their hot coffee at Bess Eaton is good as well, but I come here strictly for the iced stuff. A medium, hot black is few and far between for me here. Friendly service. Muffins and bagels are fresh. No donut trials yet so can't comment there. My only disappointment is that I have yet to be offered a Tank club card. You buy 9 Tanks and get your 10th free. Just discovered this club looking on-line just now. I want to be part of that inner circle! (and get some free coffee out of it) Looks like there are also some other decent coupons to check out on the web site. So glad this Rhode Island institution is back in business in the heart of Wakefield. Super!

    Get the pumpkin brewed iced coffee and maple donut !

    See all

    My wife insists this is the best coffee in town. Friendly service every time. Coconut donut is delicious.

    My recent weekday afternoon visit to Fuel Coffee Bar showed me how an independent coffee shop can…read moredeliver excellent service through its dedicated approach to managing its business operations. My first impression of the room hit me through its espresso scent that filled the entire space. The modern design of the space creates an environment that supports both focused work and relaxed socializing through its streamlined design. The shop maintained a peaceful atmosphere because I was the only customer present which enabled me to study the surroundings at my own pace. The space appeared to be perfectly clean because a staff member was busy cleaning the floor which showed that the establishment maintained cleanliness as a fundamental requirement. The shop maintained a quiet atmosphere which only included the soft sounds of the espresso machine and its periodic loud noises. The staff members delivered fast service while maintaining a friendly attitude. The staff members welcomed me as soon as I entered the building and they explained all menu options to me because I did not know what to order yet they did not attempt to persuade me to choose any specific item. The staff members allowed me to create my own drink which I found to be a useful feature. The staff members permitted me to create my own drink because I needed to follow my specific requirements. I chose to order a large iced mocha latte with an extra espresso shot. The staff members finished my order within three minutes which they executed successfully because most businesses find it difficult to create this level of operational efficiency. The espresso shot produced a rich chocolate flavor which tasted smooth and fresh without any harsh notes. The drink maintained an equal distribution of coffee and chocolate flavors because neither ingredient overpowered the other.

    I have driven by Fuel so many times and seen it pop up on my Yelp recommendations, however, never…read morehad the opportunity to visit until recently. I am so glad we did, because this is definitely a new favorite spot and worth the drive over the bridges! It was a rainy afternoon, and my grandma and I rolled into their ample parking lot to get some coffee and a midafternoon snack. The shop is sparkling clean with plenty of seating at cafe tables and a cozy couch section. The clientele was a mixture of students from URI and professionals working remotely. All were sipping lattes and seemed happy - a good vibe right from the get go. The barista was upbeat and knowledgeable about the menu, recommending their house made Pumpkin Spice Latte (I had to try it!). I am so glad I did, because theirs is made with pumpkin puree, so it's not sugary or cloying like other varietals you may be familiar with. We were also informed that all their baked goods are made fresh daily, and I was pleased to see the pastry case was clean as well (this is a less common occurrence unfortunately, than you would think). We tried the Blueberry Muffin, and it was FABULOUS! I am already looking forward to going back and trying more. Don't be fooled by the humble roadside plaza exterior- Fuel is certainly worth the stop.
