I have driven past this building a thousand times and never really knew what it was about, but as…read moreluck would have it, Gathering Grounds appeared on my 'for you' page today, so I drove over to check it out. This building houses an antique shop, a coffee house, and an ice cream parlor - that have different names (which is probably why it hadn't stood out to me when just driving by) The coffee shop and ice cream parlor are owned by the folks who run The Grist Mill, and you can definitely feel their vibe in how it's set up and furnished. Today we enjoyed a millers maple swirl latte and a cold brew float made with ice cream and sat and enjoyed them at a nearby table. We also grabbed a cute gingerbread latte to go to enjoy at home. We will definitely be back to pick up more specialty beverages and look forward to enjoying some ice cream when the weather gets a bit warmer.

Very cute little coffee shop bookstore, located in an antiques store…read more Chai latte was very very good! Ice is real big though. $7 they have seasonal flavors of coffee. Ice cream, and sandwiches, which I liked the chicken salad on the sesame bagel. The pastries, also very good! we got the raspberry square and a chocolate chip cookie. Service was prompt, and polite. Parking is off street in a lot. Also right next to a little lake or whatever body of water, which makes it serene, in my opinion.

Been here quite a few times now and it has been consistently good each time. Very easy to order off…read moretheir website - the only thing is I don't get an email or text confirmation with an ETA but usually give myself 30 mins before picking up. I usually get a notification once the order is ready for pickup but I like to get there beforehand. We've enjoyed most of the food each time we've visited. I typically always get the Spicy Soy Garlic Wings - crispy yet still juicy and they're not super spicy so makes for a good bite. We enjoy the sushi rolls and poke bowls as well but what we don't care for as much are the fried rice options we've gotten before - they're a bit bland so we stick to apps and sushi options. Nice bright interior if you choose eat in but this seems to be mainly takeout. They have a few tables as well as high top chairs. The service is ALWAYS super friendly and you're always welcomed with a smile. It's a nice dinner takeout spot in the area.

Everything had its own taste, that you could actually taste, and not have it muddled together. Really likes the fried chicken as well. We also had the vegetarian bowl, very good! Comes with a side sauce. People there were very pleasant and attentive. Oh, you also have to go up to the kiosk at the counter to order. Will be back to try the boba teas and more menu options. 感谢您的食物和友好的服务

What looked unassuming from the outside opened up into a cool, airy Zen space... the kind of place that works perfectly for anything from a casual family breakfast to a cram sesh or even a cute coffee date(hehehe maybe someone's tried it ). I hadn't been back in several months (maybe even close to a year) but I recently returned and was reminded why I loved it in the first place. This time I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich and a leek & Parmesan pastry- both were absolutely fantastic and split between myself and my partner.. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The sandwich alone would've been enough. The vibe here is wonderful!!! Lively with plenty of space to settle in. The staff is warm and accommodating, making you feel right at home. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the service, it's safe to say my experience was nothing short of excellent. Bravo Disclaimers: matcha is unsweetened so get it differently if you're used to (what I now know must be slightly sweetened) Dunks

Yo girl just got back from filming her latest music video. You see Homegirl was first discovered…read moreby Usher on YouTube. Homegirl was greatful for the offer but knew others needed the opportunity more than her. Justin still sends Homegirl thank you cards to this day. Now filming had forced Homegirl to stay as fit as a fox. She didn't dare cheat on her diet and jeopardize the chance of a couple pounds costing her a couple £ (pounds). Mhmmm. She keeping her money green baby. However on the last day of filming yo girl decided to pick up some goodz from seven stars. Like Lil' John, Homegirl decided to leave the Jag and take the Rollz. For months the stacks on stacks in homegirls wallet would send her flashbacks of a flaky croissant with buttery layers. Yo girl waited in the car until she saw somebody walking out because there's nothing worse than touching dirty door handles. When she slithered her way in past the quickly closing door the aroma of coffee, butter and sugar bumped her nostrils. Homegirls fat cells were quaking. The only thing she cared about was that cinnamon sugared bun. Yo girl took her left hand and proceeded to point to it. She gotta let the fellas know her ring finger valued at 4 mil. People be thinking yo girl is a vegetarian with these Karats. Homegirl knew she had to return back to set. More than her will power broke after picking up her pastries, she done broke a pump! Homegirl knew that pair from wardrobe was on its way out so she gave her heel a little twist to secure herself a fre$h pair. Yo girl was hobblin' to her ride and she believed her blood sugar was crashing. She took single, glorious bite of her bun and its sugar kissed her glossy red lips. Buttery layers slid down her throat. Homegirls eyes dialated. She started having flashbacks to 8th grade prom. Her dress wouldn't zip. Her concealed pimple face sucked in with all her might with no avail. Homegirl wore a dated wool sweater over her frilled ball gown. Homegirl couldn't deal with the flashbacks. She brp brpddddddd down the street til she hit 90 and threw her cinnamon roll out the window. She is not yet strong enough to take on the roll. She returned to the movie set and told her staff that the bakery ran out. Yo girl be calling the priest because she needs to confess. Homegirl will get the strength to take a second bite one day. Next time she'll bring her skinny friends. She'll give them some lattes with heavy cream and the fattest pastries money can buy. That way yo girl will only grow a little when they grow a lot.

There was only one person in line in front of me and two workers helping them. Another worker was putting together a to go pastry order. No one acknowledged me waiting. The customers eventually walked away and so did the workers. Another worker came out and immediately went to take the man's order who just walked in. No one asked if I had been helped and when I interrupted her to tell her I was waiting to be helped, she looked at me as if I was the rude one for saying something. It was a strange experience. The seven stars on hope and Broadway are sooooooooo much better.

Cuuuuute spot in Pawtuxet - I always love coming through that lil village!…read more Found a spot right out front (a good omen) & was immediately pleased by the vibe of this place. Lots of gorgeous looking pastries & one gluten-free option - a raspberry scone. So of course, I ordered the raspberry scone. I also ordered one of their specialty lattes - some sort of peppermint situation. I asked for it iced & a little less sweet than usual. It was so tasty! The peppermint was subtle, not toothpaste-overwhelming. No straws to be found (I get the sentiment, but ugh, I had lipstick on) & few seating options. It was bustling in there mid-morning, mid-week. I should've asked if they had gluten-free bread for breakfast sandwiches... Maybe I'll call & ask. I would definitely stop by again if I was in the area, but if they have GF bread, I'd probably even go out of my way. Nice staff, moderate prices, overall good vibe. Thanks!

**Please stop scrolling!**…read more I came here on a whim while in Barrington to grab a breakfast sandwich. Everything about this place is a win, from the variety of treats, drinks and coffee, to a fabulous sandwich and menu selection. This is quite literally the BEST breakfast sandwich I've eaten. Hands down. I got the #4 on a Asiago bagel. When I tell you it's the size of your face, believe me. I'm a big dude and only put down half of the sandwich! The rich fattiness of the meat was perfectly balanced with a subtle sweetness from either the bacon or ham. I couldn't put my finger in it, but it was fire! The eggs were fluffy, the cheese was gooey, and my belly was HAPPY! Every staff member was super friendly, and treated you like they were genuinely happy you came in. I will definitely try this place for lunch and other goodies they offer. Give this place a try, you truly won't regret it!

Strip mall bakery. No judgement, actually a great location..lots of traffic outside…read more Great choices inside from candy to baked good to sandwiches. I went with an iced matcha, a slice of cheesecake and my song got a donut. I can report no complaints on the donut! The matcha was fine but the cheesecake was super creamy! It's a win!

It's a small space, especially now that it has to compete for room with Chomp next door; so it's pretty lively. You enter the cafe through the porch, which is screened in in winter for year-round dining. Once inside, you place your order and sit either on the porch or at some tables near the parking lot. The lot is made of seashells and is on the water so the ambiance is actually very nice. They'll call you when your drinks are ready so you can add cream or sugar yourself, but they usually bring food out to you. First of all, their chai is amazing. So good. They have different flavors; I'm a big fan of the vanilla chai. My dad LOVES their cappuccinos. I've had bit sweet and savory crepes here, and they're all great. They have some you can order on the menu but there is a big make-your-own menu with a whole slew of options. Usually I get the Brie, fruit, and honey crepe, it's so light, sweet; and summery!

We love it here !!! The best Chai and Crepes around !!!! With an amazing view and outdoor seating.read more
