I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

Ellie's is dangerous. I walked in thinking coffee and one pastry. That lasted about 30 seconds…read more The owner (adorable, by the way) was walking around checking on tables and making sure everyone was happy. It feels like her place in the best way -- warm, proud, hands-on. Pastries are legit. Super buttery, flaky enough to make a mess, clearly baked that morning. No sad, sitting-around-all-day vibes. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and that tomato jam needs to be illegal. Sweet, savory, slightly tangy -- it completely makes the sandwich. I kept trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. Not happening. Crispy chicken sandwich was properly seasoned and not dried out (why is that so hard for some places?). Fries were solid too -- crispy, not limp. And the kale salad with roasted chickpeas and chicken made me feel like I had my life together. Fresh, simple, and actually satisfying. It's one of those places you stumble into while traveling and then immediately start googling whether you can justify going back the next day.

Whether you're going for a classic brunch or something with a creative twist, Julian's delivers every single time. It's hands down my favorite breakfast spot, and I can't recommend it enough.

GLUTEN-FREE FISH & CHIPS ALERT!…read more My quest for finding gluten-free fish & chips has finally ended in my very own neighborhood. We did it. Well, CRU PVD did it, & I ate it & loved it. The vibes of CRU are immaculate. Retro, friendly, comforting, & suave. The quality of food to price of food ratio is inspiring - I love a heaping salad with seasonal fruits & vegetables for just $8. Most of the menu can be made gluten-free, which brings a tear to my eye. Don't sleep on the pan-fried turnip cake. Sounds strange, right? I crave it constantly. I haven't been to brunch yet here - I'm not a big brunch guy, what can I say. But that seems to be a hugely popular event here. Also check out their calendar of events. They put on some funky soirées. Murder mystery dinners? Yes, please!

Everything came out fresh & well prepared. One unexpectedly fun detail? The self-serve water station! Loved being able to choose between bubbles, cold-ish & ice cold water (a small touch, but honestly such a great idea).

It can be a little noisy when busy, but the volume was reasonable at our table. There were no complaints from any of the diners, the Eggs Benedict were tasty and nicely executed and so was my Gardner's Breakfast with Steak. The tea was hot on this visit (unlike my prior review). We really enjoyed our brunch here and will be happy to return. Note that: 1. Reservations are recommended 2. There was an automatic 3% Kitchen Team Service Fee added to our bill. 3.

WOW.....! Simply amazing!!!!…read moreWe went on Valentine's and prior made reservations for the 7 course prefix. A bit expensive especially if you add in the wine pairing however, how could you not? The waitress ( 2 ) took care of us all night and were very knowledgeable about each of the Chef's dish they served as well as explaining why a particular wine was chosen for the dish that they served us. The entire experience was 3 hours. They only down fall- The Ambiance..... I asked during my reservation 2 months prior to be seated at a table that was somewhat secluded. I asked because nowadays tables are very close to one another. That request was not honored. We had a couple that was an arm's length from me and my husband. We heard their entire conversation as did they of ours. It was uncomfortable and for the expense I wish it was a different experience for us! I'd definitely return and speak up if that ever happens again. There are many tables around the restaurant where you are not on-top of each of the other. I believe the section we were in may have been dubbed for anyone that got the 5 or 7 course prefix meal. If this is the case, they should consider giving their patron's more space. I would have given them 5 stars if it was not for this experience we had.
