This is one of my regular places I visit! I love love their bagels and homemade cream cheese it's literally to die for! They also sell it in containers if you want to buy some for home. Their muffins are also really good super moist and delicious. Their tuna salad however I feel like might be made with dark tuna? I got it and it was not good it was super fishy tasting so I can only assume it was made with dark tuna and not light or white chunk tuna which some people might like but personally it was not my favorite. The girls there are so sweet I love them all they are all very nice and make the experience so pleasant every time! read more

Service is always so friendly at Cafe International, and it's always a pleasure to visit this Cranston cafe. Today I got a snickerdoodle decaf coffee and an everything bagel with cream cheese and both were delicious! The bagel was so especially good - they definitely don't skimp on cream cheese here, which is just the way I like it! There is a large seating areas here at Cafe International - perfect for chatting with a friend or for working. Great place - so glad I was introduced to it years ago through the RI Food Fights iced coffee challenge! read more

Snickerdoodle coffee is my favorite flavor here. So good. I don't even like flavored coffees, and this one is so nice. I want to love the bagels, but they're not my favorite. They just seem lacking of flavor and very thin. The sandwiches are lacking substance. I think I even got turkey bacon on my sandwich instead of regular bacon. It was flavorless and the texture of cardboard. That being said, the service is amazing, and the pastries look great. The dining room is inviting and casual. read more

Coming back to this spot over and over again has made me really appreciate it. It's the classic coffee shop in New England but with a pretty decent bagel as well as some other offerings. The staff make the place amazing, always friendly and happy to chat. Love supporting this spot read more

The coffee is great, their bagels are wonderful and their service is top notch. It's not a very fancy shop, but it has a ton of seating and everything there is amazing. Theres tons of parking and while it tends to be busy, it's a nice quiet little spot to enjoy breakfast and read. read more

Pretty good place with many bagel and spread options. Also a lot of coffee flavors. The inside is nice with plenty of seating. Waited in a line bit longer than I should have with only 2 people ahead of me. Bacon egg and cheese was good but could use a slice or 2 more of bacon. But overall I enjoyed the sandwich. Will come back again for sure. read more

Place is bigger than it looks, very clean, food is awesome, coffee is great, and service is fantastic. A+ all around

Fresh bagels daily! Tried a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and bagel with cream cheese - both were delicious! Generous amount of cream cheese and the bacon was thick and crispy! Also loved the iced coffee options, we tried the "coffee concoctions" which are premixed and they have tons of flavor options. Tons of seating available, fast service, call ahead available and cozy feel. Parking lot for off street parking. Highly recommend! read more

Such a cute spot! I got a small french toast iced coffee and it was delicious! They have plenty of indoor seating and the worker was very pleasant and nice. Convenient location and good coffee, I'll definitely be going back! read more

It was our annual yard sale. My friend said what kind of bagel do you want? Cheddar. Little did I know I would be so impressed with this bagel that here I am writing a review when I never stepped into Cafe International! So placed a large order pretty easily. She got about a dozen different flavored bagels to support her co- sellers for the day. She grabbed a plain and a chive cream cheese. I tried 3 bagels and here is my official ranking: 1. Cheddar (Tasted so fresh and just delicious!) 2. French Toast (messy- sticky but tasty!) 3. Pumpernickel ( fresh yet just not as flavorful as the other two flavors All tasted so fresh, like just baked. They are delicious! Cafe International is officially on my radar. The cream cheese is think and creamy- again hit a home run here. I did not try the chive but my husband said fresh chives in the cream cheese- delicious! A must for yard sales, brunch or... anything! read more

Cafe international is a classic in-and-out coffee shop with great coffee and service. It's not ideal for hanging out as the ambiance is not super welcoming. Recommend toasty turtle or butterfinger coffee! read more

Update: I got the Everything bagel with in-house made cream cheese and I just wanted to comment that it was the best Everything Bagel I have ever had. They sprinkled a bit of sea salt on the top and that small addition sends the flavor of this bagel over the top! Who would've thought that a little sprinkle of salt would make all the difference, but that, coupled with the fresh cream cheese makes this a bagel worth commenting about. I may dream about this bagel until I can get back there to get another. read more

Cafe International - Everything bagel with in-house made cream cheese was the BOMB! - Cafes Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Good bagels, better cream cheese. I like how they have brewed flavors and not just syrups. The other baked goods just never look great (think banquet breakfast). read more

I live nearby so I really want to love this local coffee shop but I just don't understand the hype. I end up here a few times a month for sheer convenience. The breakfast sandwiches are so incredibly cardboard dry. The coffee is good but it's never made as asked. I end up with the wrong flavor or milk many times. It's a good place if you would rather support local versus going to Dunkin. Same quality/taste. There's so many other local options out there now that are far better quality for what you pay. This place will always be busy simply because it's located on a main high-traffic road. It has so much wasted potential. read more

I'm not sure what the hype about this place. Love that they're local and easier to get to then Providence Bagel in the city but their bagels severely lack flavor. Cinnamon raisin had the very slightest flavor of Cinnamon and the blueberry had zero blueberry flavor despite the bright blue color. And when I say blue, I mean blue like Cookie Monster. Just too doughy for my liking The upside, their homemade cream cheese is delicious! read more

This place is way nicer on the inside than how it looks from the parking lot (yes, I was judging a book by its cover) and is twice as large as expected because the seating area extends to the space next door. The person working the counter initially seemed annoyed at my questions about the menu, but warmed up as we continued talking. In fact, she shared her favorite drinks and made some great recommendations to help me select a delicious iced coffee flavor that was made to my liking. I sat at a nearby table, enjoying my marble bagel and chive cream cheese (which was delicious too) and watched some regulars come in and get greeted by name as she made their drinks. I observed another first timer walk in, ask some questions about the sandwiches, and he too received the same weird standoffish interaction. As I was leaving, I received a nice goodbye from the woman behind the counter and as I waved goodbye in return, I wondered if the coffee was good enough to bring me back to this place again and I think that it just *might be*. read more

Quick, clean, and handling COVID-19 very well. I came here as a result of the RI Food Fights iced Coffee Challenge. It's a nice, cute little cafe that's airy, modern, and has plenty of options from chai, to coffee, to pastries. Line was about six people deep (all socially distanced) but the wait was only around a minute per person, which is impressive. Got an Iced Decaf Hazelnut with cream and sugar. Very smooth flavor to it; the roast has some very sweet undertones & tastes very fresh. Prices are also very fair --- comparable, if not cheaper, than the franchise that dominates this state. Will be back! read more

Stopped by for iced coffee on my way to work. This is a popular spot in the morning, as there was a line of about 3 people when I arrived. The line moved a little slow (about 7-10min for me to get to the front and customers were getting iced coffee and pastry) but the staff were very friendly and attentive. I tried the french roast coffee which tasted fairly good black. I do appreciate that they offer a variety of coffee flavors that are all flavored naturally through the bean, not with artificial syrup. The cafe is clean and large on the inside with lots of seating. It's located in a strip of restaurants/shops on Oaklawn ave and has plenty of parking. Overall, fine little cafe with decent coffee. read more

Not the biggest fan of their bagels, but I came for the free iced coffee from RIFoodFights. I got the house blend with cream and sugar. It was a smooth iced coffee! read more

I am always looking for a tasty bagel, so I was glad when I found Cafe International. Their bagels, cream cheeses and coffees are very tasty. On top of that, they staff is super friendly and accommodating. Totally worth a stop for a nice breakfast. read more

nonstop foot traffic, staff friendly and helpful, a variety of coffee. it seemed good and like the neighborhood likes it. i went once so that's what i'm going by. i will say the bacon is turkey bacon and i didn't expect that nor like it, so next time it will just be an egg and cheese on a bagel for me. the bagel seemed nice and fresh. also there's seating in there, but in another room, so i almost missed it. good surprise to find it. read more

Cafe International - medium hot caramel latte - Cafes Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I enjoy the coffee at Cafe International but that's really it. The bagels and the sandwiches aren't really worth the money they charge for them. I typically get an iced coffee and it's $2.80 for a small. If you enjoy coffee that's brewed with the flavor in it instead of a syrup and you're near Oaklawn Ave definitely try them out! read more

I have stopped here a couple of times while waiting for my mother at various appointments nearby. Both times that I have visited, I found the servers to be very friendly. Also the coffee was good...though a bit overpriced (I actually pay less in Brooklyn for high end coffee). It is a nice place to sit and relax. Small and quiet but with not only a counter but a separate room where you can sit and enjoy what you purchased. Also because I am trying to eat low carb, the woman behind the counter gave me the spices that had fallen off the everything bagel...heavenly without the carbs! read more

This was just ok. I think we had a new person so every aspect of our order was wrong except the coffee. But everyone is new at some point, so I give it three stars for the food and drink quality. In my opinion you can get better bagels and drinks from Cafe Tempo. I was a bit disappointed because I really really wanted this place to be fantastic, but it's just average. read more

Having passed by this place so many times I can't believe I've never tried it! I came here during the RI food fights challenge and got my free small snickerdoodle iced coffee with almond milk! I really liked the flavor of the coffee! My husband got the Irish one and really enjoyed that as well! We definitely couldn't help but smell the delicious fresh smelling bagels which we definitely will have to try next time! They had ample seating and seemed like a good place to grab a coffee and study! read more

Hidden gem I just discovered that's to this app! 16 years of business with good food, coffee and service with a smile. Definitely will return soon. I loved my low carb bagel filled with lots of fresh veggies including avocado and cilantro-dill hummus!! read more

Sadly this establishment is not following the recommended procedures related to covid-19. The individual making my coffee had his mask dangling around his neck and talked throughout the preparation. It's sickening to think about the number of spit droplets that made their way into my drink. I had to throw it in the trash - what a waste of money. This coffee shop has lost my business. read more

Tasty food, but way too expensive. $16 for a bacon egg and cheese bagel with pound cake and drink.

This is a cute coffee shop in a convenient location for all neighboring towns. They have a large variety of coffee flavors and a good sandwich selection. I have had a bagel here before and it was good. This time I was on a mission for and ice coffee. The staff at the counter were super helpful, telling me what the most popular flavor was. So I got that! I forgot it's name, but it had coconut. So on a hot summer day not a bad idea. This cafe also has indoor seating so if you have some time, dine in! read more

I discovered this place several months ago because I was told they have great bagels. For the most part, they haven't disappointed. They have a large variety of flavors, but they get picked over fairly early in the day. The coffee is decent but somewhat expensive. They have other pastries, but they don't look very impressive. I've had no problems with service. It's worth coming for the bagels if you arrive early enough. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time today because we had a ri food fights coupon. The coffee tasted incredible. I ordered an iced chunky monkey (if you like banana flavored things this is the drink for you) and he ordered an iced coconut cream pie coffee. The bagels were also good. I got a lox on a cheddar bagel and he got an onion bagel with cream cheese. The cafe is also surprisingly spacious if you want to sit and catch up with a friend. The service was very quick as well, we barely waited for what we ordered. We would highly recommend this place for its iced coffee flavors and bagels. read more

The food was very mediocre at best. The "BLT" was made with instant bacon. The cream cheese and bagel were "okay." The food is the reason for the 2 stars. The service was a 1 star experience. The restaurant was plenty well staffed, but extremely unorganized. They didn't know who was ordering. Random people were taking orders and preparing the food at the same time while moving on to start working on the food without actually completing an order. When asked to finish ordering, the staff seemed annoyed. I didn't finish actually ordering any coffee or the muffin I wanted because the staff clearly didn't want me to order anything else. The place would do much better under a good manager. Very chaotic experience and not a pleasant cafe experience to say the least. 2 stars. read more

I will start by saying these are one of best bagels in RI. Handmade everyday. Over 12 different varieties including spinach and sunflower my two favorites. Cream cheese is made fresh as well with several different full fat and low fat choices. It's also a true coffee house everything from espressos and Americanos to an endless list of ice coffee flavors to frozen concoctions. I am an ice coffee guy and love their snickerdoodle flavor. They have recently remodeled to give it more of a modern look that is was lacking. Definitely check it out. read more

The flavored coffees here are way too sweet and the flavors taste very fake. Like you can tell it's just all syrups. And I like sweet coffee, I usually get a caramel macchiato from Starbucks. No ambiance in here really, and it wouldn't hurt the barista to be a little friendlier. The only thing I really like from here are their bagels, especially cinnamon sugar (toasted with cream cheese). read more

I researched on where to get really good Jewish/NY style bagels. On Christmas Eve day I had my brother-in-law stop here for me because I figured we would support a new local food establishment. Also, after seeing their pictures online, the bagels looked pretty on point. My brother-in-law got there at 8:30 on a Saturday morning knowing the bagels would be really fresh. However when he came over at 9, the bagels were extremely hard as if they were already a day old and the toppings were pretty much non-existent. Even though from what I was told the customer service was great, we will be moving on to better bagels. read more

Cafe International - Not an everything - Cafes Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Just went here for the first time today and was really impressed! I'm picky about coffee and got the Italian roast which was perfect and nice and bold. I also love that they have so many brewed varieties and flavors, not just flavored syrups. Bagel and muffin were great also. Service was super friendly and even though I didn't stay, the seating area looked really comfortable and clean. I plan on making this my regular weekend coffee shop. read more

We went to The Golden Rose today and while my Mom was being served I walked (almost,) next door to the International Cafe. I'm surprised no one's reviewed this place. The owner's daughter at The Golden Rose recommended the Chicken Salad Wrap. With that in mind I also ordered a small Red Eye (haven't heard it called that since the 90's!) iced. It's suppose to be coffee with the strength of espresso toned down in regular coffee. The counterman asked if I wanted tomatoes and lettuce in the wrap which I replied "Yes," to. He also asked me if I wanted the pickle and chips with it: yes to pickle, no to chips. I sat down and waited for him to make it right then. The inside looks like a coffee place and the posted menu didn't seem like it had many international dishes on it. That didn't really bother me though, I was looking for something simple. When the wrap came it was cut in half and had no paper around it. That made eating it a bit messy as the wrap was open at both ends on one half of the wrap. Whatever. The chicken meat was the texture of pulled pork not in the usual chunks that you get like when you order a sandwich with Willow Tree Chicken Salad. That is not to say that is wasn't as good. In fact I liked it better because there was less mayonnaise on the chicken than usual. It was very simple with parsley in the salad and I felt satisfied and pleased after eating the simple sandwich. I liked the 2 long slivers of dill pickles. They tasted akin to Vlasic Brand dills. The decor isn't challenging and the business looked a bit more than a basic coffee cafe which is to say comfortable but not funky. It was clean and not busy. In this set of strip malls along Oaklawn Avenue I think you'd have to live here or frequent the local businesses to come here. There were a couple and one young woman that came in while I was here around 3 pm so I don't know how it is when it's busy. I'd recommend this place though. I will probably be coming here again. read more

Bagels are delicious, coffee is great.. But I'm not sure how hard it is to remember my order when I'm the only customer in there and I just told you the order...

Always disappointing I guess maybe I should check before I leave .. My mistake! read more
