    This spot was cute. Coffee was good. All the food looked amazing! The staff was sweet and helpful. I will def be back for some treats!

    Great little spot with friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Sat outside. You order at counter and they bring everything to you. Got a salad with chicken-good but for $21 should've been a bit bigger. Also got a ginger turmeric latte which was very weak.

    My friend who lives in Barrington brought me as part of a tour of the town. The coffee here (from New Harvest) is INCREDIBLE. Probably the best coffee I have had in months. I am very devoted to Starbucks but I'm definitely returning here over Starbucks anytime I am in the area. I had a large soy latte which was served in a delightful large mug similar to the French bol, but with a handle. I also had the feta frittata which was a good portion size and tasty but could have been warmed a little longer. The gluten free apple cider mini donuts were highly recommended by my friend and were amazing! Would definitely recommend these! Their bathroom is weirdly claustrophobic-y and small but the cafe ambiance is nice and I did appreciate that they had a nice purse hook in the super tiny bathroom. Can't wait to return here for some more coffee!

    We've pretty much been coming here regularly especially Covid mainly for their avocado toast. Tried it at different places and theirs is the best. They also have a great selection of donuts and cinnamon sugar donut balls. Good spot for bfast in Barrington.

    My husband and I have breakfast here one Saturday morning. It was delightful! The staff were very friendly and the food and coffee were delicious!

    Black Pear is a quaint coffee shop/cafe in Barrington, RI. The drinks are good and the food, while on the pricey side, is delicious and filling. I was very impressed with my sweet potato toast. I'd never had anything like it, and would definitely order again. The staff is fine: not overly friendly, but also not neglectful.

    Tucked in a not-so-noticeable strip shopping center that we call Prince's Hill, this farm to table joint has an interesting collection of breakfast and lunch fare. The space is open and clean, reminding of barn theme trendy food places. Came here for Sunday brunch. What do I do when you roll out of bed? Coffee! The coffee was very good here. Thank you for that. I tried black bean huevos rancheros. This is a good vegetarian option and not bad rendition of meat based cousins. I thought the seasoning of the black bean burger was spot on. Not too salty, not too spicy. As you can see from the photos of the cold prepared food platters, there are few other choices. I have to come back here again for lunch to try out their specials.

    Excellent coffee!

    My nephew who goes quite often to Black Pear introduced me during a recent trip to Barrington. I was impressed with the ambiance, the friendliness of the staff and the flavor of the coffee. I did not eat anything but my nephew recommends their baked goods which I plan to sample next visit!

    Stopped in for my Iced Coffee and stayed for brunch. My wife got the Watermelon and Goat Cheese Salad, which she really enjoyed. I got the Eggs Benedict. I substituted he Kale for Avocado (at their suggestion when I said I didn't want the Kale). The eggs were poached correctly and had a great yolk run when broken. The Hollandaise was a spicy Avocado version which was great. The chourico Sausage was flavorful and added to the overall taste of the dish and it was served on great wheat break from Olga's ( love the collaboration with others).

    I think the Breakfast Burrito I got was over priced what what it was. Other wise the place is ok.

Tt has everything you'd want from a great coffee shop: comfortable seating, plenty of room to spread out and work, a rentable conference room, and something you would not expect from a coffee shop, the Aurora Bar, stocked with a nice selection of local spirits and other favorites. My partner and I stopped in for a quick nibble for lunch on Sunday and this was perfect. My partner went with the Caprese sandwich, which is served on a pressed ciabatta with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spinach, pesto mayo, and balsamic. It was simple and tasty, and I was lucky enough to get a couple bites! I went with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which was also simple, but packed with flavor. It had all the obvious ingredients with the addition of pickles, which added such a nice briny little punch and really hit the spot. Something worth noting: both of our items were ordered from the laminated menu at the register, not in the beautiful leather-bound Aurora Bar menu, which appears to be an evening menu with cocktails and other tasty food items. For drinks, I went with an espresso tonic; the slight bitterness of the quinine plays really nicely against the bold espresso, and it's one of those combinations that's refreshing in a way that's hard to explain until you try it. One small note for the team: the Riverside location has always had a real warmth and cohesion to the staff that I haven't quite felt at Bristol. It's not a dealbreaker by any stretch, but a little more energy behind the counter would go a long way. Still a five-star spot, as the coffee and the space more than make up for it.

    Exceeded my expectations. I got the breakfast bowl special which has farro, peppers, onions,…read morepotatoes, and topped with an egg - it was a really tasty bowl. The ingredients were actually cooked together and well seasoned making for a cohesive dish rather than one of those bowls that just dumps separate ingredients into a bowl that lacks flavor. Would get this again for sure. My only complaint is that my egg was covered in black specs which appeared to be burnt cast iron residue. The honey lavender scone was also great - nice texture - almost biscuit like tbh, and the lavender flavor was a little too subtle for me to really taste, but I still enjoyed it. The place is cute as well but be warned they don't let you use a laptop here which I'm not a fan of. I didn't have a laptop on me but I know a lot of people like to go to cafes and do some work. My friends got sandwiches and they rated them 10/10. The bread looked like they had the perfect texture.

    We stopped in today and Groundswell was hopping! A line out the door and an employee directing…read moretraffic. Not a problem though as the line moved quickly. The cafe itself is absolutely gorgeous. One of the nicest cafes I've ever seen. Decorated perfectly and had numerous goodies to sell. It was packed but we didn't have trouble finding a place to stand. The menu is pretty limited but that made it easy to choose what we wanted. The employee who served us was very accommodating and friendly. She answered any questions we had with no issues. I ended up ordering a leek quiche and chai tea latte. The total for two drinks, a quiche, and a sandwich came out to $56. Definitely way too pricey to do this often. The food came out quickly. My latte was delicious but for $8 it should be. Mostly ice as well. My quiche was not as delicious though. It was barely lukewarm and pretty bland. For $19 I also found the portion to be pretty small. Definitely not something I would order again. My partner enjoyed his sandwich but said it was also small for the price and the bread was a bit too crusty. Overall, it's a beautiful venue and a nice experience but I wouldn't rush back on my next trip to Tiverton.
