Nani W.

Very cute place. Lots of indoor seating, different seating arrangements. Size friendly as well Loved that the chorizo was made into the egg. The food in general was okay, could've used more seasoning or some of the aioli stuff. The chai latte was very good. The person making the coffee was really nice, and provided different options since they were out of their golden latte. Sweet treats were good as well. Street parking, you might need to park on the side street and walk over, just a minute or so of walking. We will be back!

Food: I ordered the iced caramel latte and it was refreshing and not too sweet. I would get it again! Service: The staff was super nice and they made the drink really fast. Ambiance: It's pretty spacious inside and you could definitely take time in there to chill on your laptop with all the outlets around.

Good coffee (drip and espresso) and breakfast/lunch sandwiches with ample seating and easy on street parking. Note: the chourizo croissant is good but the chourizo is in very small amounts blended within the egg patty. Needed a bit more.

Yummy coffee makes any day better

This little local coffee shop is delightful in so many ways. My cinnamon vanilla latte with oak milk was a delicious treat. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing great service. The atmosphere is lovely for some quiet time alone or meeting up with friends.

Great cafe spot! The iced lattes tasted great. Loved the decor and ambiance inside. The sitting area is large and comfortable. The service was swift. Enjoyed their selection of jazz music. The parking is on a busy road so it's sometimes hard to grab a close spot. Glad it's local!

Forgot to snap a picture before I devoured my breakfast sandwich! Got a turkey sausage, egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel and ‍. It was delicious. Paired it with an iced latte that was also good! I took it to go but there were people working on their laptops and others just enjoying their drinks! Cute place to sit and get a coffee and do some work!

Maple vanilla latte

Super friendly staff with great recommendations. I stopped by after visiting Margo's bakery for a coffee. I got the maple vanilla latte and it didn't disappoint. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

Avocado Toast

I am guessing this is a fairly new place since it still has that new cafe smell. I was looking for a quick bite to eat after my dentist visit up the street and Notes came up on my search. It is a small coffeehouse cafe right on Armistice off of Newport Ave. They have an assortment of pastries, prepared foods and coffee and tea. If you're a cafe writer like I am, this is a great spot for you. Quiet, cozy and easy to find an outlet for your laptop. I had the avocado toast, which was fresh and creamy. I wanted to try the vegan chicken Caesar, but when I went they were out, so I'll have to go back. If you're a local to the neighborhood, this could definitely be your new hangout.

If you're a cafe-hopper such as myself, this place should definitely be in your rotation. Notes has homemade pastries, delicious coffee and tea drinks, and friendly service. There is ample seating inside and the coffee shop is down the street from Slater Park.

Various pastries, some house made, some locally sourced from other bakeries. Did not try any but will go back for their vegan option!
Guinevere F.

Really loved this place. Great service & the coffees were extremely delicious. Friendly people working & they hang up art from local artist. Did not get any pictures of that but I will be back to try their other latte flavors and vegan pastries. Very cute decor inside as well!

Seating

Now here's a place that's new to me and what a great little place it is. Set amongst a neat row of store fronts just between Newport Ave and the sweet neighborhood off Armistice Blvd, you get a feeling of neighborhood and community. My friend Kristen was able to join me and give me some background. The owner opened up during all this craziness of Covid with great intents of highlighting the art of painting and music. (Coffee notes... Music notes... ) The local paintings are hung tastefully on the wall. I had an iced coffee with cream, featuring New Harvest. A good coffee doesn't need much. I also had the breakfast sandwich on an Asiago Bagel which was just amazing... soft and crisp and tasty. And I know it's not a rare thing, but I love take out boxes... and the little sticker on top just makes such a sweet presentation, almost like a gift! I would come here again and I look forward to seeing this business thrive! #RIFoodFights #BestIcedCoffeeRI #BuyLocalRI

the pretzels here are to die for! absolutely delicious, well seasoned and creative options. if i…read morelived nearby id be coming here for a beer and snack all the time. i got their elote special and it had a small bit of spice and plenty of flavor. the pretzel was warm with a perfect pillowy soft texture. honestly it was the best pretzel i've ever had. they also have beer flights and a wide range of local, national and international beers, so plenty to mix and match. it's always a nice touch to have a flight when offering a large selection, so huge plus for me. service here was fast and kind, we were able to order and get everything within 12 minutes. ambiance in here is nice, plenty of seating at the bar and around the restaurant. it's pretty cozy and warm in here but also has a few tvs for those wanting to catch a game.

I am almost at a loss for words for how shitty of an experience we recently had here…read more A small group of us (came in as 5 people, eventually were about 12) arrived around 11:15p after a wedding. This place doesn't close until 1a so our arrival shouldn't have been annoying. The place wasn't that busy for a Saturday night, and we were treated like we arrived at the worst possible time. Our server was visibly and audibly pissy that he had to wait on our table. There were only 5 of us at first and no one in our party was drunk our rowdy. Eventually a few more folks came in, including the bride and groom. And our grumpy ass server continued to be rude. He was annoyed he had to take our drink order, annoyed we wanted to order food AND the deciding factor to leave this review was... We had ordered some pretzels, which they are known for, and were very good. We had to wait a while for him to come back to ask him for plates and utensils. He literally dropped a stack of plates in front of me, and what appeared to be every fork in the building, well beyond what we could have possibly needed and said "this is everything we have" with the nastiest attitude. It was so excessive and so over the top that we were speechless. His attitude did not match anything happening in that building. We all have bad days but if you want people to come into your establishment throwing forks down like a toddler is not the way to get repeat business. Hands down one of the shittiest experiences I've had in a long while. If you are looking for any sense of customer service - go somewhere else. Unless, of course, a borderline abusive server is your jam - then you're in luck!

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.

Let's start with the burger, pretty thick patty, decent meat, but a lackluster taste/flavor. Nothing special about the fries either, pretty salty, average. Now let's move to the wings, the wings were actually flavored well, slight tang and spice, not too soggy, a good set of wings. Wouldn't come back, not bad but you can get this burger and most places.

Elizabeth's Farmhouse -- Putnam, Connecticut…read more By far one of the best meals I've ever had, and quite possibly the best burger of my life! Coming from Southern California with a culinary background, I'll admit my expectations can sometimes be modest when dining outside well-known food scenes. Elizabeth's Farmhouse didn't just exceed them--it blew them away. My wife and I arrived in Putnam looking for a quick bite and found this charming, approximately 50-seat restaurant with no wait. I ordered an Oktoberfest from a local brewery, while my wife chose an Old Fashioned. She ordered the Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap, I chose the burger, and we shared the German Onion Soup. The German Onion Soup was outstanding. The onions were caramelized to a beautiful deep amber, with rich umami, subtle garlic and shallot, and a wonderfully developed beef broth. The crostini, topped with perfectly melted Gruyère, brought everything together. Every component was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. Then came the burger--and this was no ordinary burger. Cooked to a flawless medium-rare, it featured thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, crispy red onions, aged sharp white cheddar, ancho chili barbecue sauce, and a perfectly seasoned Niman Ranch all-beef patty on a soft brioche bun. Every bite delivered an incredible balance of smoky, savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Nothing overpowered anything else. Without question, this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife's Farmhouse Meatloaf Wrap was equally impressive, featuring tender meatloaf, creamy mashed potatoes, aged white cheddar, and house-made chipotle mayonnaise. Rich, hearty comfort food elevated through thoughtful preparation and excellent execution. Even the fresh-cut fries deserve recognition. Cooked beautifully and served with house-made ketchup that reminded me of an Italian nonna's homemade marinara. When even the simplest condiment receives that much attention, you know you're dining somewhere special. By the end of our meal, both plates were completely clean. As someone with a culinary background, I appreciate the difference between food that is simply prepared and food crafted with genuine passion. Elizabeth's Farmhouse is a shining example of the latter. To the chef and everyone behind the scenes: your passion for food does not go unnoticed. You've created something truly special in Putnam, Connecticut. I rarely write restaurant reviews, but this experience absolutely deserved one. Five stars, without hesitation. I'll be back hungry for more!

The food is good, quite tasty delish! There's seasonal items so it's great to revisit and try new…read moreitems. The vegetables are fresh and the meats and seafood are seasoned well. The service is sometimes great; sometimes...so-so. I've gotten different kinds and difficult to make out what the standard is for service. Overall-- good-ish. I made a reservation and was on time but my table was given to another customer who did not rsvp and was asked to wait for 20+mins. Happened twice. The interior is cozy and tight; but very cute and nice. Like its name; it's like a farmhouse decor. The outside architecture is all black and it may look closed but it is the restaurant :) ! A good restaurant to try out !!!

We stopped in while spending time at Level99, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing…read more The service was subpar from start to finish. The bartender barely made eye contact, and when I ordered a spicy tequila soda, I was served with Tajín sprinkled on top--not exactly what I'd expect for a spicy drink. The food was equally underwhelming. The pepperoni pizza came out with the pepperoni completely burnt. When we mentioned it, we were told that's simply how they prepare it, so keep that in mind if you order pizza here. The wings were decent and had a good amount of meat on them, but that was about the only highlight. The nachos arrived swimming in grease, making them difficult to enjoy, and the toppings were just average. The French fries were another issue--they appeared to have been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. This wasn't disclosed, and the fries came out tasting noticeably fishy. Thankfully, I don't have a seafood allergy, but that could be a serious concern for someone who does. The ambiance was fine, but overall the food and service left a lot to be desired, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
