    Pastries
    Eric M.

    Rhode Islanders this place is worth the longer than 10 minute drive that you can't stand! Cute little Portuguese cafe. Love the decor, modern but the Portuguese feels of the tile work. Great selection of coffees and traditional pastries and bread. Shoutout to the Chourico and cheese bolo wow! Homemade Chourico that's actually really good!!! Huge portion the size of the bolo, little crisp a little spice YUM. The pastel de nata coffee indeed comes with a pastel de nata and it is very good! Definitely would come back. Can either grab and go or can order a hot sandwich and have it brought to you. Staff was friendly and able to offer suggestions as well!

    The mural on the side of the building was beautiful. Inside the restaurant was very pretty with simple decorations, I love when cafes do not look overly plain and corporate. The staff was very nice helping me to decide what coffee to get. I got the pastel de nata coffee and it was delicious, not overly sweet. They did have a little cooler area with beverage that are not coffee like sumol and water. As for food I got a chourico egg and cheese on a bolo, the sandwich was good I just was not a fan of the chourico they had on the sandwich. Lastly, they did have an average size parking lot of the side of the building. There is also street parking. I will definitely go again to try more coffee and food. Highly recommend!

    I ordered a Bitoque which is a steak dinner dish to be exact and they had no to go utensils. ... I asked if I could use their fork and they said no. Also a traditional Bitoque comes with fries and rice & they charged me $4 extra for fries and no rice. Customer service was awful. The staff stated they don't have to go utensils because people take them ... super unprofessional & all the coffees & lattes are made with artificial syrup ...

    What a wonderful new addition to EP! Street parking was a little tough but manageable. You wouldn't have known this cafe had only been open for about a week, it was running like a well oiled machine! I tried the Bolacha Maria latte based on the barista's recommendation and some desserts. The latte was delicious with an almost custard-y taste. The biscuit on top was a bonus treat! The cafe makes great use of the space, many tables and a big bar. There were no empty seats! The line looked long but went very quickly. This seems like it is going to be a fantastic place for locals and tourists alike to gather over delicious treats and drinks. Wishing them all the best, can't wait to return!

    I was at the Portugal Futebol Exoerience today and it was scorching hot! The owner was so kind to help me when I started getting shaky when my blood sugar was getting too low. We need more companies and people like this in the world (The dessert was fantastic!)

    Below average coffee; lousy inattentive service. The food looked great but I won't be back to try it.

    I like the coffee shop, but I feel like the pastries are 1or 2 day old pastries. If I'm buying a pastry, I want it made Fresh that day.

    Wow. If you're looking for a spot that has amazing food, beautiful art and design aspects, friendly…read moreservice, and plates to share, Aguardente is the place for you. A friend and I came in and put our names on the waitlist, waited for about 45 minutes at a bar down the street, and then had some of the most fulfilling tapas ever! We got a Prosciutto & Salpicao board, the Queijo de Cabra, and Frijol Dip. I also got a nice portuguese red wine that paired well with some of the cheese we received. We sat in a very sweet and cozy nook and enjoyed every minute! I will be back when it's warm out and the front patio is open!

    My friend and I came here on Father's Day expecting it to be packed, which it was, but there were…read morestill a few tables available, both inside and outside. At their front patio, they had the World Cup game playing, but the back patio felt cozier so we opted for that. The inside though was a strong second since the lighting is very low, creating a cool and calm environment. Walking through the restaurant to get to our table made me realize that each table is unique, no two are decorated the same or have the same furniture. It was a hot day but the overhead mesh cover blocked out a lot of the sun. Our waitress made us feel very welcome from the start and told us about their drink and food specials. My friend ordered Guatemalan beer as well as a Spanish beer. For food, we ordered the plantain fries, octopus, calamari, and shrimp salad, and grilled lamp chops. The seafood salad came out first. According to the menu, it was going to be paired with cornbread. It looked like sourdough bread but had a far denser consistency. I was expecting the salad to have lots of shrimp to act as a filler but surprisingly, it was about 60% octopus, 25% calamari, 10% shrimp, and 5% onions. The seafood was very flavorful, tasted fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was great for two. Next came the plantain fries, which I was least impressed with as it was essentially fried plantain chunks. I think it would have been better if they were cut into smaller pieces that can be easily dipped and consumed in one bite. The plantain was gently ripe, so just a little sweet and the dipping sauce was like a less sour sour cream. Lastly, the lamp chops came out and the presentation was wonderful. They were a bit skinnier and less tender than that I was expecting, but flavor wise they were good. We enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service here.

My husband and mother both ordered a beer but were told by either the manager or owner that, and I quote "we're a Portuguese bar we don't serve that shit"; I think my mouth quite literally hit the floor. They have a FULL bar and you expect me to believe you do not carry a single beer, specially Portuguese beer like Sagres or Super Block if you claim to be a Portuguese bar? We were told they could not make a bourbon on the rocks for whatever reason and settled water and soda because it was exhausting trying to figure out what the bartender was capable of making or what they had in stock. I have NEVER been treated with such an attitude within 15 minutes of being seated and would never come back here after this meal, the other waiter who eventually took care of us for the rest of the meal was very kind and did his best to make up for what had occurred. There are so many other Portuguese restaurants in East Providence that Riviera doesn't even compare at this point, overall super disappointed.
