However, I noticed an empty table available at the time. Fortunately, we were able to quickly make a reservation once we stepped outside and were then seated at that same table minutes later. I hope this is not a common occurrence, as it can take away from the overall experience and initial impression. That said, our server Sydney ( Australia), was incredibly kind and attentive. She ensured we were well taken care of from start to finish, which truly elevated our visit. The food and drinks were both excellent, and overall, I had a great experience after the mishap . I would recommend this place to friends and would consider returning in the future.

This was my second visit to Drip Coffee House during RI Food Fights' Best Iced Coffee competition,…read moreand I enjoyed this year's experience much more than last year's. I stopped in later in the day, so it was nice and quiet. The barista was friendly, helpful and worked seamlessly with a coworker while answering my questions. I went with the banana hazelnut iced coffee with milk, which was good and easy to drink. While it wasn't my favorite coffee on the trail, I'd happily order it again. As someone who eats gluten free, I appreciated that they had a few prepackaged donut options available. They weren't homemade, but it's always nice to have something to pair with my coffee. The café itself is spacious with plenty of seating and ample parking, making it a great place to meet up with friends or get some work done. I also know someone who hosts a monthly coffee klatch here, so it's clearly a popular gathering spot. One of these days I'll have to come back and check out the bar, too!

Their frozen hot chocolate was a high school staple, their flavored coffee and work friendly ambiance got me through graduate school, and I never visit RI without bringing back a bag of chocolate chip cookie beans. I've taken meetings at their small tables, curled up in an armchair with a book by the fireplace, gone on dates on the patio and snuggled with my infant daughter on the couch. There's a spot for whatever you need - as long as you get there before the rush! My go-to has always been a jalapeno bagel with jalapeno cream cheese; their baked goods are all made in-house and are chefs kiss. Once I became a coffee drinker I always opted for a black flavor of the day but have slowly been switching to a seasonal latte. It's all yummy. I love seeing their menu items grow and will occasionally treat myself to a slice of cake. It's not a cheap coffeeshop but I personally don't find it to be outlandish. Unfortunately indoors is not the most friendly atmosphere for a rambunctious toddler so on crummy weather days I visit other coffeeshops. The patio is better, though. They could also use a changing table for little ones. Regardless I'll still keep coming back!

It was really good but their sizes are huge. I got a medium and it was more like a large. They also sprinkled little lavender pieces on top which I thought was gross and it kept getting caught in my mouth. My mom got the almond joy latte which was super yum and strong, definitely doesn't skimp on the espresso. We also got a chocolate chip banana bread slice which was amazing! 2 drinks and the bread came out to $20- wayyyy to much in my opinion. I would maybe come again but I'm not really inclined to with the wait, how expensive they are, and there are better options that are closer to me.

I ended up going with chicken parm since I knew it was my husband's favorite. He loved it! I appreciated that they used large pieces of chicken and the sauce was super flavorful. I look forward to heading in here again and bringing my son! He will certainly have a hard time making a decision with all the deliciousness.
