    Mocha thingy with hazelnut deliciousness
    Peter M.

    The egg white breakfast sandwich is actually amazing. It is a filling sandwich to say the least. Walked from the Marina so I wasn't really in the mood for coffee so I went with a blended mocha thingy and whatever hazelnut stuff they put in this is fantastic. The barista is extremely easy on the eyes as well. Great visit.

    The FIREHOUSE breakfast sandwich
    Kent S.

    Rating: 4.0 Came to try this breakfast and coffee spot. Its pretty small was Sunday lunch time and was very busy. The parking lot can become a bit hectic as they have a drive through as well and parking spots are arranged around it. The parkings were full but after 2 rounds we did find one spot to park so we went inside. Inside was very busy as well filled with people waiting for their order. It has few seatings, coffee bar area and counter to place your order. I ordered hot mocha and the firehouse breakfast sandwich. Since it was busy i expected to take a while for our food and drinks to come out but we only had to wait about 5 minutes or so. Hot mocha was okay. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good. It came with two jumbo egg, ham and cheddar cheese on jalapeño bagel. It was wasn't that spicy but was ok. Service was good and quick. Looks like lots of younger people work at the place. Overall the place is a solid breakfast and coffee spot. It may feel a bit chaotic when it's busy but quick service makes it easier to navigate. May opt for drive through next time as experience may be different there.

    Omg! I come to this area a lot to visit my partner,, so I've seen this cafe on passing. This spot has been on my list to visit and today I found a good opportunity to venture to try~ I was surprised to see this place busy with even a drive through that wasn't that visible in afternoons, but mornings is very visible with cars wrapping around cafe. There is also spots available within the lot. The interior was small with plenty of counter side space to sit. Obviously this is a popular place. I ordered a small ice coffee and a New England sandwich which has Turkey, cranberry and cheese. My meal was savory and tasty, and the coffee was perfect to me, on the sweeter side. I had such a great experience ~ we snagged a seat, and the food was handed to us over the counter since we found counter side seating. This place seems like a local fav, and as future local, I can't wait to try the drive thru myself next time.

    Protein shake, and fresh fruit salad
    Kerri L.

    What a wonderful surprise this cozy restaurant is! Located right around the corner from Kent County Hospital, it is conveniently accessed right before the rotary and features a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. Inside, the cathedral ceilings and air conditioning make the space appear and feel airy. Everything is clean, and the staff are friendly and pleasant. I ordered a half ham and Swiss sandwich on rye bread with a small fruit salad and a protein shake. The fresh fruit included strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and melon. Everything was delicious, and it was affordably priced at $20 for my entire order. They also have gluten-free options, cozy, seating inside, and seating outside on their patio under the overhang. If you were in a rush, they also have a drive-through. I will definitely be back!

    Medium Iced Café Caramel
    Kaylee B.

    I only tried this place once & I only tried an iced caramel latte so this isn't a full scope of the place. I'm not from here but when I'm in town visiting my husband's family I like to try as many different local spots I can. The location itself was very cute with nice indoor and outdoor seating. The staff I interacted with was pleasant and the drink was just fine. Not anything amazing but not gross and I drank about half of it before I was over it. I'd definitely try it more than once if I lived close.

    First time entering Cafe Tempo the appearance is clean, great seating, clear menus, friendly service which I will give a 5 out of 5. Now the flavor of the coffee and the sandwich was a 3 out of 5. I asked for an extra shot of espresso in the French vanilla ice latte and it taste more of milk with a very small hint of coffee. The coffee comes with 2 shots of espresso for a medium I ordered it with 3 shots of espresso definitely needed 4 or less milk.

    Burnt bagel - no cream cheese.
    Tess B.

    This place just never gets better. Maybe they're too busy, maybe they just don't care. Reality is by the time I drove away I was out $6 and out breakfast. Go elsewhere.

    Lox sandwich
    Arthur S.

    I stopped in during the week around 10:30 AM. There was a fairly decent sized line, but it moved rather quickly. The parking lot is on a busy corner lot, but easy to get in and out. I tried the firehouse and the lox sandwich. Both were fresh, hot and flavorful bagel sandwiches. I would definitely recommend this little cafe, it has to be one, if not the the best bagel shops in RI.

    Croissant
    Elijah S.

    What a neat place! The croissants were gas! The best croissants I've ever had! All the staff were efficient and kind, and the interior was neat, smelled great in there, and there was plenty of seating. Will 100% be coming again!

    Bagels are amazing and the veggie cream cheese is awesome. They even have a drive up window which makes things so easy.

The ones I have partaken in were amazing. The service was nice and patient with me while I decided on what I was going to get. The place has a very welcoming atmosphere. Will be back to try the bagel sandwich and more of the amazing looking pastries.

I love that the owner Shannon is often around and all the baristas seem to genuinely care that you are happy with your visit. I'm here usually at least twice a week and I really have to talk myself out of heading in more often. The seasonal lattes are always so delicious. Not too sweet and well thought out flavors. They make their own syrups and truly keep things original. For food I'll go with a bagel or one of their toasts on high fiber bread. I like that both the bagels and bread are from other Rhode Island small businesses. While the space is small the vibes are strong. It really feels like a community there. I usually always see someone I know or have gotten to know from bringing my laptop and working for a bit at The Nook. If you love supporting local, I highly recommend you do so at The Nook!

This shop has a great location, right in the center of downtown. The bagels were very yummy. I had a salmon, cream cheese, tomato, and capers sandwich. My spouse had a pepper turkey, cheese, and some other things sandwich. The kids had poppy seed bagels, toasted with butter. Everyone was happy! Some of us had brought water bottles with us, and others had drinks from the chiller case. You order at the register, give your name, and then they call it out from the counter to the right when it's ready. Very easy! Warm and welcoming staff! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. My one qualm with the bagels is that they use corn meal on their peels/board/sheets. Corn meal acts as ball bearings to slide dough more easily, but corn meal also burns easily! So, although my sesame bagel had the a great chew, it had a ring of burn on the bottom. I'd love for Bristol Bagel Works to try switching to semolina flour -- still great for the sliding, but it won't burn until a higher temperature!
