    Avocado toast.  Over priced for the portion by crazy delicious.
    Kristen K.

    Finally made it here and had a yummy lunch. My fellow diner and I both had the avocado toast and both declared it one of the best we've ever had. The pickled onions are spectacular. I also had a cortado that was good. I will say the toast was just that. A small piece of sourdough, only one, no side. This is as indicated, it's on the small plate portion of the menu. However, for $13, I think a small size of dressed greens on the plate or a second piece of toast would have made it worth the cost. So, over priced for what I got but delicious nonetheless. Good enough to bring me back to try something else.

    Unique flavors and seasonal specialties with good service. The cafe itself is adorable and offer different non-coffee items to purchase as well like perfumes and tote bags. The crowd is younger and they do play music that some may consider loud but I didn't mind at all. Their sandwiches are also very good. I enjoyed the salted maple sausage muffin and coconut lime latte. My friends tried their brioche breakfast sandos along with a sticky rice matcha latte and banana latte. The refresher was a bit too sweet for me. If I ever visited Newport again, I would definitely be sure to return to this cafe.

    Pumpkin s'mores!!
    Samantha W.

    I can't say enough good things. Every time I come here everyone is so sweet and happy to help, they are usually pretty busy but still are very organized. The food is also amazing.. so whether I'm just grabbing coffee or sitting down for brunch with a friend, it's a great experience every time. Tried the new pumpkin s'mores latte yesterday.. amazing!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Cori F.

    The coffee is great and the food is good, but be prepared to wait. The line can be long and there are only a few tables. It can get very busy and it's loud. The food has great flavor. The breakfast potatoes and French fries are crispy and so tasty. Sometimes the toast isn't toasted (see sandwich photos -- one slice was toasted and one wasn't). They do have an outdoor seating area for when it's nice out, but there's only a few people working to cover a lot of tables when the outdoor area is open.

    Chai
    Brianna F.

    Surprisingly beat the rush and got a table with no wait. The chai was delicious and arrived quickly. The Portuguese chouriço hash was delicious. The potatoes were super crispy while also soft inside. The chipotle hollandaise gave a kick while still remaining balanced. My party also got lattes that they enjoyed and the tiramisu french toast and the breakfast burrito which they both really liked.

    Avacado Avocado Toast
    Maria J L.

    Food/Drinks: This is probably one of my favorite breakfast spots to go to pick up breakfast food from! I am obsessed with their salmon and avocado toast, extremely delicious and filling! I have also tasted the BLT, which is one of my husband's favorites as well, and almost all of their food items that I've tried have been very good. The price can be a little high for breakfast items, but the quality is very good. Their iced coffee and lattes are pretty limited. I went in and asked for a more customized coffee order, and they pretty much just made me go with what they have on their menu. I'm not sure if this has changed, but ever since then, I just never ordered coffee from there. The crème brûlée iced latte was pretty good, and the refreshers were pretty good as well, but again, for the price, I choose to go somewhere else for my drinks. Location: This location is very aesthetically pleasing. It's a pretty good size for a coffee shop, but because of the popularity, it's always full, and it seems like it's not easy to get a seat. I went there once and it was so full that it overstimulated me, and I decided to just always get takeout because, like I said, the food for me is top-tier. This location is in a plaza, so parking is easily accessible from both sides of the location. It's a pretty casual location where you can meet up with friends and family or a breakfast date. This is a perfect spot to grab a quick breakfast and coffee. Service: When it comes to service, I only interacted with staff once when they first opened, and the girl was nice and helpful. Other than that, I always place my order online, so whenever I go in, I just grab my to-go bag and be on my way. I have not experienced their in-person seating service. I definitely do recommend this spot for their food, and I'm hoping that their drink menu does expand to more options, as I feel like it has always been a bit limited, and I haven't seen much change for drinks or add-ons other than the refreshers. This place is a bit expensive compared to other locations that serve similar foods, but I definitely think it's worth trying!

    Scrambled tofu hash
    Bekah M.

    I salivate thinking about this tofu hash. I been craving it ever since I tried it in February and have been dying to go back. The potatoes were super crispy too - perfection. It was very delicious. Everything looked great including the Caesar salad of the couple next to us so i'd love to come back and try more things. Super cute place but very tiny so be prepared to wait. They don't take reservations for brunch from what I recall.

    Chourico Hash Bowl
    Rozet S.

    I've been trying to check out this location in Cranston for a while but it's always busy! Came here for brunch on a Wednesday and we were able to get seated right away. After we ordered, it got extremely busy, but it didn't take too long to get our food. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (so good!) and the chourico hash, which was amazing. Definitely would love to come back and try the other things on the menu! They change their menu seasonally as well.

    Sweet Soy Salmon Bowl
    Rebecca B.

    I visited Kaffeology today for brunch and tried their Sweet Soy Salmon Bowl. Super super delicious! I loved the mix of purple cabbage, rice, avocado, and pickled onions. Super fresh and all the ingredients paired well together. I also tried one of their refreshers and it was pretty good. Our server was super nice. One thing I don't like about this location is that there isn't a lot of seating, so you are sitting really close to the next table where you can hear whole conversations. My favorite thing about this location is the aesthetic of the cafe and how calming it looks - even when it is super loud and busy.

    Sweet Soy Salmon Bowl
    Samantha J.

    What a cute brunch spot! Sat at the bar as it was a little bit busy. Staff were super friendly and apologetic since it took them a bit to take our order but we didn't have an issue with their timing! I got the tiramisu cold brew and it was so good, not too sweet! The salmon bowl was very yummy, very fresh. Would come back again or get takeout!

    Smoked salmon platter Chimichurri Steak and Eggs
    Linda S.

    Made a reservation same day on a Friday morning and prob would've had to wait a while if the table didn't get up sooner. It was the only table left next to the bathroom. Service was fine but the food took about an hour to come out. Luckily I was catching up with an old friend so we didn't notice the timing much. My steak and eggs were plated beautifully but was cooked well medium well vs. medium Rare. I only ate a few pieces and didn't wanna send the dish back since we already waited an hour. The truffle potatoes were delicious. Also ordered a regular espresso martini and aperol spritz ...both were very sweet. I'll be back for the truffle potatoes and hopefully they cook the steak correctly next time. Place is also small and crowded ...smelled like sweat immediately when entering. Ooof.

    Amanda R.

    Sweet little spot in Cranston! The ambiance is soothing and quiet, we sat at the bar and were served right away they have lattes and assorted alcohol drinks. I got the pumpkin brûlée latte and it was like a liquid dessert! I ordered the pumpkin brioche French toast it was perfectly cooked and sweet! My daughter got the breakfast plate which she said was good. Service with a smile sign me up!

    Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict
    Karla M.

    I had been here before, but it was just to buy some drinks and leave - in and out. I wanted to come back to try more of their lattes since I was impressed with how present the flavors were in the orange and cardamom one. We wanted a sit down experience this time. It was an early Saturday morning, a little after they opened. With only one other person there, we had a lot of options to choose from when it came to tables (they just told us not to pick the one in the corner that seats 5 ish people). I tried their brown sugar lavender latte, and my friend and I shared their Fried Chicken Eggs Benny. The drinks came out first. I wasn't too impressed with mine, I thought there would be a heavier presence of lavender, but it was still good. I got it with oat milk just to make it taste creamier. The food was delicious. I would say the bread to chicken + toppings ratio was a bit off. We ended up only eating one piece of bread since it was thick. However, the flavor of everything was really good. The chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly sweet - not so much spicy. The bread was lightly toasted and lightly buttered. The hollandaise sauce was one of the best I have tasted. The egg was runny as advertised, with the white part being fully cooked. I think this was $17 which isn't great, but not the worst. We loved the pastel and calm feel of the room. Our server was kind and brought us everything we needed.

    I have been to Tavern in the Square in Garden City twice this summer and I've had really good…read moreexperiences both times. My only sadness about Tavern in the square is that they don't have any type of fried cheese. Sometimes if I'm just grabbing late night cocktails I just want some mozzy sticks to nibble on. However, they do have some really nice apps, in the past, I've had the pretzel, the whipped feta dip and burrata and all have been great. For an entree, I always get the same thing - the Bayou Chicken Pasta. I'm not usually a huge fan of cream sauce and pasta, but I love something with a good kick. This pasta has chicken, corn, tomatoes, slices of some type of green pepper that I think gives it a little bit of heat as well as Cajun spices and Parmesan cheese on top. I usually ask for extra sauce and add Tabasco sauce and it has some great flavor. I've been really impressed by the cocktails here lately. I ventured in February and was made a delicious gin and guava cocktail. I don't know if they have guava anymore, but it was so good and I wish I'd gotten the ingredients. On the menu for Summer is this lovely lavender haze cocktail, but I do not like the citrus cold foam because it's a bit too bitter so I always have that taken off and add a little bit of Club soda instead. I also really like the salted caramel martini, and in the past, if I wanted more lavender or didn't think the salted caramel martini tasted enough like caramel, they have always brought over simple syrup or even a little more of the flavored alcohol to give the drink the intended flavor. I really appreciate that type of service and I've never been nickel and dimmed for that either. The service has always been phenomenal, and I overall like the vibe. It's a really big restaurant and so I've never waited very long to be seated. The bathrooms have always been clean, which is a huge one for me. I definitely will keep this in the rotation, especially when they have a lavender gin.

We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+.

Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count.

The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

    Chomp is one of those Providence restaurants that I keep finding myself coming back to, even after…read moretelling myself I should probably try something else on the menu. I've eaten my way through quite a few things here over the years, and while there are plenty of good choices, I keep coming back to the Smokey and the Bandit smash burger. At this point, I probably know what I'm ordering before I even sit down. There's just something about that combination that keeps winning. The food here is consistently good. Everything I've had has been fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the kitchen seems to have that part figured out without making a big production of it. The menu has enough variety that you can come in with different appetites and still find something you want, but it doesn't feel like one of those places with a menu the size of a small novel where you need twenty minutes just to decide what you're looking at. The beer selection is another reason I enjoy Chomp. There's enough variety to make choosing a beer part of the experience rather than simply grabbing whatever happens to be on tap. Prices are also pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which is increasingly something I notice because restaurant prices have a funny way of creeping upward when you're not paying attention. The location is another part of the appeal. Chomp sits in a great little part of Providence where you can easily make an evening out of being in the neighborhood. There are plenty of other restaurants, shops, and places to wander around nearby, so it doesn't feel like you're making a special trip just to eat and then immediately getting back in the car. Tonight, though, I have to give a special shout-out to Bella, who was our server. She was outstanding. Friendly, personable, attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful. She suggested adding bacon to my Smokey and the Bandit, which I probably wouldn't have thought to do on my own. I'm very glad she mentioned it because it was an excellent call. Sometimes the best recommendations are the simple ones, and she nailed it. One piece of advice if you're planning on coming here: make a reservation if you can. Chomp can fill up quickly, and given how good the food is, that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise. It's the kind of restaurant where people come back because they already know they're going to have a good meal, and I'm certainly part of that group. Five stars from me. Great food, good beer, reasonable prices, a fantastic Providence location, and genuinely good service. I've tried enough of the menu over the years to know that Chomp has plenty of options, but apparently I'm still incapable of walking through the door without ordering that Smokey and the Bandit. Add Bella's bacon recommendation to the list of reasons I'm going to keep coming back.

The worst item by far was the Caesar Salad. Honestly it looked like someone sliced up lettuce like you would for a sub sandwich, or used a 1990s Salad Shooter, and threw it in a styrofoam dish. It didn't even resemble a salad I'd avoid this place.
