The Gilded Pear is located in Downtown Smithfield. It is located in the Hood-Spiers Building, which…read morehas been restored. It was built in 1900 and still has the original tin ceiling, decorative windows and exposed brick. Seating is on two floors, providing a cozy feel if sitting in the loft. They have the "Pear Necessities of Life" This is both a cafe for coffee and teas but also a bakery that serves breakfast and lunch. They are known for their bubble waffles, and crepes. But also have a large menu that has sandwiches, salads, flat breads and breakfast items. There should be something that appeals to even the pickiest eater. Ordering is done at the counter, and you receive a number, and the beverage and food are brought to your table. The menu is posted outside the entrance so you can check it out first. I went with a rose and cranberry lemonade that was a drink special, and the bubble waffle, and added strawberries and bananas. The bubble waffle intrigued me as I had never had one before. It is a honeycomb waffle popular in Hong Kong. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It looks like bubble wrap, which is hard to tell as mine was covered in strawberries and bananas. I enjoyed the texture and flavors of it. The Gilded Pear is a great addition if you're looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat.

This is the cutest place in Smithfield. Located on the main drag, they had great options for food,…read morebut I opted for an iced coffee on a hot June morning to start my day. The barista was very helpful. I asked her opinion about a couple of different things, I ended up with the coconut drink that was on special for the month. It was amazing. I sipped it as I walked through old historic Smithfield. The space itself you can tell a lot of love and thoughtfulness goes into the store. Everything was very clean, I love that they were cute messages on the cups, little positivity in this day and age really goes a long way. Everything at the Guilded Pear seems to be made with kindness and consideration.
