    Cappuccino
    Melanie S.

    10/10! Stopped in on my way back to Pennsylvania, just typed in coffee and this place popped up. I feel so lucky we found this gem, my cappuccino was amazing and the atmosphere was so inviting as were the guest themselves and Mal the owner! He makes this place a must to visit, funny and hospitable; I feel like I stopped to visit a friend for coffee. Highly recommend!

    Was in the area so decided to look up cafes in the area and this place seemed charming and cozy. So glad I stopped in, from the moment I stepped foot in the door I was greeted by the owner and treated as if I was family. Unsure as to what to order so I had them just surprise me. It's a true gift and honor to be served the most delicious espresso beverage I have had the pleasure of tasting. You can tell that such art and care goes into each cup. Also got an almond biscotti which I learned was made by his sister. I just love the rustic and family oriented feel this place has.

    IFirst time trying this cafe. My friend and I got iced lattes. They were amazing! By far this cafe has the most authentic latte in the state of RI. From the milk to the espresso everything is perfected. The owner was so nice and even let us sample the specialty milk they use. I can't wait to come back and try their signature chai tea latte and crepes. p.s. it is CASH ONLY here

    Stopped in for a coffee almost just as they were closing in a Saturday (the tables and chairs were being collected from the front patio and there was a shop vac in the entryway). We were told the kitchen was closed but we could get any beverage we wanted. Today, that was just an iced coffee, but we could choose dark roast, regular, or French vanilla. The coffee was smooth and delicious and the cafe itself is adorable - this is all perfect, but I'm holding off on a full review until I taste the food! It turns out that the man starting to vacuum is the owner, Malcolm. You'll read mixed things about him here on Yelp but he was really kind to us, and took the time to tell us the story of how he got into brewing/selling coffee (really interesting for a BU Football Hall of Famer who played pro ball for a season with the Pats), and even brought me a sample of an amazing iced turmeric that he claims is even more delicious and complex in flavor served hot. We were the only ones in the cafe, except for Malcolm and two female staff members. We'll be back for the crepes and paninis when it's sure to be busier and we can really test if the great service - and coffee- we had today hold true when it's busy.

    Finally stopped at Bon Ami and what a great and dangerous stop. Its a unique cafe Paris decorated. The stars here are the drinks. I got a mocha and husband got turmeric latte. The turmeric latte was so good I hd to go back the following week. The sandwich and crepes were also good. The owner is a true Rhode Islander / local super friendly and fun. Line can get long and its cash only but it doesn't disappoint. Also tried the cookie and crack cake - both delicious and leaving you wanting more

    Accidentally found this gem. If you're looking for a low-key, friendly, delicious, patron-centered cafe , this is it. The owner and staff were wonderful and know what coffee and food is all about! ESPECIALLY the beverages. Don't judge a book by its cover. This place is wonderful, we will definitely be back when we visit RI!

    I've lived up the street from this place for 3 years and finally went today! I loved everything about Caffe Bon Ami! Atmosphere is cozy, and filled with all Paris things (love Paris!) the owner Malcom was so wonderful and made sure our first experience was excellent. I got a hot chai, and a breakfast sandwich. Both absolutely amazing- fresh ingredients and very tastey! It seemed everyone who walked in were regulars- and after today's experience, it is clear to me why! I will be back for sure! I can't wait to try what else is on the menu and enjoy the outside seating soon!

    I love love love love this little cafe in Cranston! The owner is funny attentive knows a lot about chai( he's the chai guy of RI) and it's the best I've ever had! Drive past T's....you heard me do Not stop at T's just a few feet further you find this Gem, with authentic French inspiration! Go and thank me later :)

    Cappuccino
    Percy B.

    What a phenomenal breakfast experience! After a disappointing dinner at another restaurant last night, I visited this restaurant to have a good start to my birthday and it did not disappointment! I ordered the Belgium Waffle, bacon pieces, and a cup of cappuccino. Every bit, flavor, and sip, was exquisite! They may have a small space, but they produce big time flavors, customer service, and five stars restaurant experience.

    Latte with cinnamon and cocoa dusting.

    It is St. Joseph's Day. I have never had a zeppola and it's about time I did. So off we went to…read morestand in line at The Original Italian Bakery. The bakery has a small parking lot with about half a dozen spots. A policeman was on duty today to direct cars to the Walgreen parking lot next door when this lot was full, and to let them in when spots were open. As the line of people waiting outside the door to get in was constant, this was very smart planning and much appreciated. Some folks seemed to know St. Joseph's Day was very busy here and had placed orders in advance. These smart shoppers skipped the line and quickly came back outside with their orders bagged up. The line moved pretty well with four shop assistants helping customers. Only about 10 guests, max, fit inside at a time. Once inside bagged breads like sandwich rolls were on shelves while calzone and other meal pastry were in a case. Then, there were three cases full of zeppola. During our visit they had chocolate, pistachio, ricotta and original available. We got one of each. I cut my first zeppola in half and see the cream filling sits all the way down into the pastry. These are firm enough to hold in your hand and bit into. The pastry is very much like that in an éclair. Firm while being light and airy. The original filling is a lovely custard. The chocolate is a fluffy cream base I believe. Both were very tasty. I have two more to try and am looking forward to them. Between these tasty pastry and other items they had for sale there, we'll be back. You should check them out too.

I'm a fan of their pastries and coffees but I haven't tried everything. I had the chocolate almond croissant today and it blew my mind! We had them heat it which I totally recommend. It was filled with crunchy almonds and warm melted chocolate. Absolutely delicious!

    What a lovely bakery for baked goods and cozy vibes!…read more I enjoy sitting down in Seven Stars Bakery every now and then to work remotely. The Cranston location is very well kept, the staff are lovely and there's plenty of space to settle down. I love the open feel of this location with every corner having its own flair. The service for drinks is very quick. This Seven Stars location has such a charm to it - tons of natural lighting and the interior design feels timeless, classic and clean. There's an assortment of baked goods and ample options to choose from. My favorite items are the croissants and cheese danish both very airy and enjoyable with a cup of coffee. There's definitely something for someone. With a family of croissant connoisseurs I always leave with a box filled with these crescent shaped goods and they're just as tasty at home. If you're looking for classic bakery and coffee combos Seven Stars Bakery will have something to give you that morning boost. I enjoy the presentation of the pastries and the overall atmosphere of the cafe - clean, open and the perfect place to be productive. Seven Stars definitely deserves their name!

    *GLUTEN-FREE ALERT*…read more I'm just now learning what a Guatemalan quesadilla is & I want one every day for the rest of my life. Thankfully, we have Cafe Ava for that. A Guatemalan quesadilla is sorta like a cornbread or a pound cake or a piece of actual heaven. It's got a thick but soft texture, it's a little bit sweet & a little bit savory, & it's topped with sesame seeds. My mouth is watering just writing about it. Cafe Ava makes their Guatemalan quesadillas with rice flour, so they are gluten-free. GLUTEN FREE PERFECT LITTLE PIECES OF HEAVEN. Anyways, I know where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast.

I went with one of their most popular signature drinks, the tres leches iced latte. It was very sweet and tasty, but the sweetness was a bit overwhelming. My husband got the flan iced latte, and it was the same experience for him. The quality of the coffee itself seemed fairly good but just a bit sweet per personal preference. I didn't get the chance to try their food. That being said, if you have a sweet tooth, this is a perfect spot to try. I'm planning to come back to try their food and a regular latte to really get a taste of what they offer. Location: This location is on the main street and is pretty artsy. It's a perfect spot for a coffee run or to meet up with friends. They have a really cool painting and overall aesthetic, and even a swing, which adds to the interior design and makes it cozy and unique. There is also parking in the back of the building. If that is full, street parking is available and easy to access. Service: The service was quick and efficient. We spoke to the barista who was making our coffees, and they took our order and prepared our drinks in a timely manner. I will be coming back because I feel like I need to try the food and more latte options!
