    Love this delicatessen, love the matzo ball soup, and got a tuna salad sandwich on challah bread amazing. My friend got the cheese omelette breakfast and enjoyed it. Home fries on point. The service was helpful and friendly. Love the old deli vibe. Will be back soon.

    My husband and I have been looking for a good Jewish delicatessen since we moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts. There doesn't seem to be many of this type of restaurant. We tried one other in Natick Massachusetts had found it lacking. We went to Rhode Island to try Maven's delicatessen After our order was taken, we were given a complementary bowl of pickles and coleslaw and it was delicious We ordered 1/2 pound corned beef sandwich and 1/2 pound pastrami sandwich. We also ordered potato kugel. The sandwiches were very large and delicious. The sandwiches were made on the best rye bread we have found since we left New Jersey. The service was excellent . We definitely plan to return many times.

    Mushroom Burger
    Nani W.

    Cute spot inside, some of the seating is size friendly. No music playing in the background Nice variety of food. Both breakfast and lunch. Server spilt water on me on accident and made it seem like she was going to give us latkes for free, however she instead charged us for two orders instead. You do get free Cole slaw and pickles. The macaroni salad was good. Fries were not seasoned at all. The mushroom burger and up street dip was tasty as well. For the price, it's a bit high.

    Terrific place. It's not Katz's in NYC, and they don't try to be as it's not intended to be 100% kosher. Local Gentile's need to understand that. We are a world class food community, but many may not understand this type of delicacy. Bagels and Challah are the best in the State. Period. Meats are elegant, and priced as such. This visit was for breakfast. Beef Bacon, Egg and Cheddar on an Egg Bagel. Could have fed two, an order of the massive Challah French toast, again enough for two, and two latkes...which were worthy of an Austrian cafe. A must try in the area.

    I'll keep this pretty short and sweet- this is a cool spot, they have a neat interior and it can accommodate a ton of people. Old school deli vibes packed into a modern sprawling one. I was a little let down by the food though. The Pastrami Reuben needed roughly 2-4x the dressing and sauerkraut. The meat was fantastic, but it was just a little dry overall because the toppings to meat ratio was way off. This was also $28 for a sandwich, holy crap but I wouldn't pay that again. The latkes were... Flavorless? Zero salt on these things. Nice texture, pleasant to eat with the sour cream and apple sauce but man, it was like I was chewing on white noise. Complimentary pickles were nice, although I think we only got 2 for a table of 10+ which.. Eh. Can't say I'd come back here, glad I tried it though. Nonetheless, service was great.

    **November 2025: Monday Late Morning Visit** My friend and I came in at 10:55am on Monday, and were greeted with a warm smile and a great booth spot near the middle of the restaurant. Our waitress was very kind and quick with our order. I ordered the following Potato Latkas $6.95 -It kind of tastes like hash browns and the apple sauce and sour cream are add a nice sweetness. Half Soup and Sando $16.95 - Patrons can choose between Corned Beef or Pastrami and I decided to get the later. The sando comes with rye bread and cole slaw, which worked really well with the saltiness of the meat. It was delicious and reminded me of the sandos when I use to live in NYC. The soup base was standard, but the chicken was dry. Nevertheless, it helped warm me up on the cold day. The ambiance has a fun divy, 50s feel to it and service is friendly. Overall, I really enjoyed the restaurant and would definitely be open to coming back.

    Worth the visit

    I was excited to visit this place. J found it via yelp and it had good reviews. When I walked in - it was a great first impression. Very nice place - I was ready for tasting something great. Soup - very positive. (9.5/10) The Matzoh ball soup was on the top of my list. Ryan was my waiter and the soup was great. I was disappointed that there was no rolls or bread with the soup. In Chicago you always get crackers with cheese spread or dinner rolls with your soup. Bummer - but the soup was great. Chicago Hot Dog - sad effort (5/10) Ryan swore it was a real Chicago dog - so I thought ok let's try it. The small wiener was split and fried and placed in a large dry bread roll. The roll was way too big for the small hot dog. The roll was dry, it broke apart and was inedible. The onion, tomatoe and relish were fine, but very little mustard and no sport peppers. Plus there was no poppyseed on the giant roll. Overall - A real miss / not even close French Fries - delicious (9/10) They arrived very hot and fluffy inside. There was a lot of fries in the order and were delicious. No seasoning, but great with a little catsup. Then the big mistake took place. I loved the soup so I asked for a quart to go. Ryan said I had the last bowl and there was no more left. So i asked for the chicken noodle soup. Ryan left and showed up with the quart in a bag and again, no rolls, no bread, or crackers. You spend $14 dollars and no bread with- sad. But Ryan did hear my complaint and offered some bagel chips - thanks Ryan! Chicken soup - (5/10). I came home and watched some tv. I opened my soup and found that there was nothing in it. It was a third filled and I was very dissatisfied. The two pieces of chicle were tasty and were not dried - so that was good but I was just really surprised how the quart was a third filled. Ryan - I plan on coming back. I will show up for lunch and I want my soup. Preferably the matzo ball.

    Recently had catering from Maven's at a work event, and decided to stop by with my partner to dine inside. We walked in, spent enough time to take a few photos for a review and no one was around to seat us or take an order. We went on Saturday, 11.29.2025 at 1:50pm and there were only a handful of people inside. No one acknowledged us, so within three minutes we just turned around and left.

    6oz Pastrami Reuben
    Cara P.

    First time visiting Maven's and upon entering the restaurant, I was very impressed. The space was much bigger than I thought it would be, it was light and bright, and very clean. I was with a big party (9 people) and our waitress was very kind, patient, and helpful. She came over with complimentary pickles and coleslaw right away, which I enjoyed. My husband and I split the Potato Latkes and I ordered the 6oz Pastrami Reuben. The Latkes came out first and were served with applesauce and sour cream on the side. I liked these a lot. They were perfectly crisped and seasoned very simply. For the sandwich, I have to admit I was disappointed. I thought the pastrami itself was very good - tender and flavorful. But the Reuben as a whole was lacking in all other aspects. It needed more of the other toppings - cheese, sauerkraut, and sauce! I love a Reuben, and sadly this one let me down. Also, for $20, I believe it should come with a side, but I digress. Some other people in my party were loving their sandwiches, but reviews were mixed overall. I'm not in a rush to return to Maven's but I would be willing to give it another try and order a different item.

    Chicken noodle soup with corned beef sandwich
    Stevie P.

    We stopped in after an appointment Pawtucket today based on a family recommendation. We were not disappointed! This place is the real deal! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The menu covers both breakfast and lunch/dinner. I went with the soup and sandwich option. The chicken noodle soup was incredible, with it was corned beef on rye. My sandwich was delicious. My husband got an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese; he LOVED it! We were given a dish of cole slaw with sour and half-sour pickles; the cole slaw and pickles were just like my father-in-law made. Such a treat!! They also have a take out counter and yes, we brought home bagels and hamentashen cookies...Yum. The restaurant is bright, clean and has all the NY deli feels, worth the trip and not to be missed!

    Potato Latkes
    Jen H.

    Excellent service, delicious food and plenty of seating to enjoy! We stumbled on this restaurant after biking around Providence and we are so glad we did. They have restaurant seating and a full deli where you can get cold cuts, bagels and desserts as well. Menu is extensive and you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches, soups or breakfast plates - all portions are generous. After moving away from NYC, I didn't think I would find a quality Jewish deli outside of the city limits, but this is on par with Manhattan. We ended up getting some fresh sliced corn beef and a freshly made loaf of rye bread to make Ruben's at home so we could continue enjoying meals after we left. Excited to come back and have another yummy experience.

    Schnitzel
    William O.

    Maven's Delicatessan is quite the place. I love when you pull and see the bright, neon sign above the restaurant. The interior is bright and fun with an upscale diner feel. This place does everything really well and I was here for it. After you order your food the server brings out a plate of pickles and coleslaw to your table. It's complimentary, but you can order more for $3.50. The two different kind of pickles are both delicious, although I prefer their half sour to the full sour. The coleslaw is also really good. We ordered some latkes, which were nice and crispy served with apple sauce and sour cream. I also got the Kreplach dumplings filled with corned beef and served with a delicious mustard. I got to try several entrees thanks to my large family. I ordered the Beach Club, which had amazingly fresh Lox on it. The caper and dill sauce made it a delicious and lighter sandwich. My favorite dishes I got to try though were the schnitzel sandwich and the brisket sandwich. Both are out of this world. The Reuben was good, but it could've used more sauerkraut and Russian dressing. My wife ordered a salad plate that had three different proteins on it: egg salad, chicken, and whitefish. The white fish was by far my favorite of the three, but they were all good. For dessert i got the blintz's. These were delicious and I highly recommend them. Overall, great place, great service and excellent food! Love it!

    Obsessed! Look how cute this place is! And the food is SO crisp and fresh. I ordered a basic egg salad sandwich on my lunch break and was not expecting it to be SO good. Do not omit the red onion, tomato or lettuce. Its perfection! Came with a pickle and cold slaw. I picked up a bag of chips at the register to go with my sandwich. Tons of options here, worth a stop. Will be returning.

I had this around 10AM and passed on lunch because I was so stuffed. I would rate this cafe a 4 star if it was only for the food, unfortunately the coffee wasn't good.

I found the shop tucked away in my old stomping grounds, and when my GPS announced I had arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see it now occupies what used to be a beloved old Italian bakery. There's a small parking lot right next to the well-marked entrance, and their adorable bespectacled cupcake logo makes for a charming first impression. Inside, the space is a nostalgic dream for fans of all things pop culture. The décor spans across countless beloved universes--Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Harry Potter, Pokémon, Mario, and more. Familiar faces like Batman, Spiderman, Thor, and the Hulk line the walls and shelves, giving the whole place a fun and immersive vibe. But let's talk about the real stars: the baked goods. The display at the entrance is packed with eye-catching treats--cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and beyond. Everything looked just as mouthwatering in person as it did in the photos that initially drew me in. In addition to desserts, they also offer cannoli, cinnamon rolls, brownies, breakfast wraps, sandwiches, bagels, toasts, bowls, and a variety of drinks including coffee, smoothies, and iced options. Since I was there for cupcakes, I picked out three flavors: Mocha Cappuccino, Banana Pudding, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana. I only got to try the two banana ones, but both were delicious. The Mocha one smelled heavenly though! A surprise bonus--the cupcakes had fillings, which I wasn't expecting. The frosting-to-cake ratio was perfect, and the cake itself was light and fluffy, yet sturdy enough to hold up the frosting. The owner was super helpful in guiding my selections and genuinely lit up when I asked about the bakery's background and theme. They host themed events too--like an upcoming Star Wars Day breakfast with a buffet, character meet-and-greets, goodie bags, and more. I don't live in the area anymore, so coming back would be a special treat--but I definitely plan to. Getting out of the parking lot was a bit tricky due to the busy nearby intersection, but it wasn't too hard to navigate. A small inconvenience considering everything this place has to offer. Bottom line: this bakery is a delightful, nerdy, sugar-filled gem. A perfect place to treat yourself!
