    two trucks parked in front of a building
    Kristina M.

    Plenty of parking, easy to spot because it shares a building with a pawnshop. Baristas were super friendly. Lost stars for burnt bagel and burnt coffee. But not bad for an after hike snack.

    Super sweet costumer service and always fast! Honestly one of the top coffee places in this area. So many options and everything is always fresh and good. The manager behind the scene can be snippy towards his workings but the workers are always so polite anyway. I always leave a nice tip!

    Egg and cheese on an English muffin, YUM!!

    This is Coffee Connection's second location (for all you Rhode Islanders, it's 'where Hava Java used to be'). And how can you not love some Coffee Connection?? So many delicious flavors of coffee (including flavored decaf which makes me super happy) yummy smoothies and coffee drinks, and a huge variety of bagels and muffins. Their egg sandwiches blow anything from a chain out of the water. Two eggs and two pieces of cheese, and a really tasty English muffin - perfection. Im also a big fan of the red velvet muffin. My one complaint is that the people who work there look pretty miserable most of the time - smile, people!! But I love supporting a family run business with a quality product!

    Good coffee. Good scones. Pretty girls behind the counter. I'd come back the next time I'm in town.

    Just picked up 2 cups of French roast. No flavor. I guess it was just a weak pot of coffee but very disappointing.

    This place blows Dunkin and Starbucks clear out of the water, can compete with any local hipster coffee shop, and is friendly, relaxes, and fast.

We got a chocolate killer slice of cake of vanilla and a chocolate peanut butter cake! These were bursting with flavor and so moist and fresh with a perfect amount of frosting! A very spacious bakery with a very nice attentive staff that answered all of our questions. Ice cream stand was not open today which was a little bit of a disappointment, but we will definitely be coming back again! Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area you won't be disappointed!

    We've been in RI for quite a few years now and have never been to Wright's Dairy farm. First stop…read morewas to try their ice cream served from a trailer in the side yard, to the left of the market. With about a dozen options we had no problem selecting our choices. The ice cream is sweet and creamy with plenty of flavor. Next up, we explored their market. Gift items, pantry items, grab 'n go cakes, muffins, pizza strips and sweet snacks, milk, cheese, ice cream containers. Lots of sweet treats in the display cases too. We ended our visit with a visit to the cows and milking barn. We were too early to see the milking process but we did walk the little trail where kids can participate in a scavenger hunt. Get supplies in the tractor mailbox at the beginning if the path. A few heifers are penned up outside the milking barn and several more were standing in front of a huge fan at the back. At 90° even the cows want a fan! There's a good amount of parking in front of and to the left of the market. Handicap spots are right by the market door. Two porta-potty right next to the parking lot.

I ordered the Toffee Nut Crunch made with Boston's Best Coffee Roasters beans, and while they prepared my drink, I wandered around the café. They have everything from local honey and freshly baked pies to breakfast favorites, homemade treats, and plenty of local goodies to browse. This place was hopping! They offer online ordering, so there was a steady stream of customers popping in to grab their coffee and breakfast before heading off to work. Even with the morning rush, the staff kept everything moving, and the café had a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

We each ordered an iced coffee with different flavors, and both were delicious. I was happy to see they had a few gluten-free bakery options to choose from and I decided on the berry scone. It was fresh, moist and very tasty. My friend enjoyed a bagel with cream cheese. We stayed for a while to work and catch up over our coffees and it was a relaxing place to spend some time. The market is lovely and I especially enjoyed browsing all of the flowers and plants. They have a great selection that makes the whole place feel welcoming. My only minor confusion was the room with all the tables being filled with artificial plants when there are so many beautiful real ones throughout the property. It just seemed a little out of place. Overall, a nice stop with good coffee, tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. I'd happily come back again when in the area.

Good Italian isn't hard to find in RI. Do I hold a grudge? You betcha. We were there to celebrate a family birthday and that family member is no longer here. July 31, 2011 Let me begin by saying that the food is excellent if not a bit pricey for the area. In fact, Trattoria WAS my new favorite restaurant until my experience last night. We arrived for 6:30 reservations for five of us and had a great, attentive waiter. A little after an hour into our meal, the hostess ushered in a group of 32 into the restaurants side room. A couple minutes after they went in, they were all ushered back out because someone said the room was not ready. We later found out that they were 15 minutes early for their reservation. For the entire duration of that 15 minutes the owner/manager allowed 32+ people to mill around in the middle of the restaurant floor. Not just near the bar but around the main entrance to the kitchen. In fact, they were packed in so tight, we were unable to talk, servers could not leave the kitchen area, and no one in a position of authority addressed the situation. During this time drinks were frequently passed over our heads and someone began using the back of my wife's chair as a leaning post. Once they disbursed, we tried to address the situation with the manager only to find out that she is the owner as well. Here is where we go South. She did apologize for the situation but made and excuse for it as well. "They were early and I tried to get them to move. I politely asked several times but they would not listen to me" Let me call the WAAMBULANCE! You are the owner and manager and you are unable to manage a crowd in your facility? Seriously? So we stated twice that it should have been handled better. The owners response? "I already apologized, what more do you want from me?" Oh, and if she should read this, I would note that your mother should have raised you better. It is impolite to point your finger in your customers faces while you are theoretically providing an apology. When one of our party said they weren't inspired to come back, her answer? "good!" Seriously? Wonderful customer service skills. We ended agreeing to disagree because she clearly was not going to leave our table without the last word and an attempt to prove that she was right. The waiter tried to salvage it but the mood of the night was spoiled and we all felt it. We ate a decent meal and left. No one offered dessert or coffee....we were brought our check as soon as the plates were cleared. Did I feel welcome? Certainly not. Would I go back? Never. The owner's attitude was so poor and callous I will never again go to Trattoria Romana. I'm not sure if she figures that they are busy enough so who cares about a few customers or if she is simply bitchy by nature. She surely could use a significant amount of customer service training. On the final bill, they did remove 1 round of drinks as a courtesy (I had asked for 2). But in the end, there are more than enough dining choices in the area that welcome your business and treat you like a king. Try Federal Hill or D. Carlos in Smithfield. You may just avoid the worst dining experience you have ever had. I can say without a doubt that I have never been treated as rudely in a service situation. Being yelled at by the owner in front of other customers was simply beyond believable. Others did complain but not as forcefully after they saw our treatment.
