    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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

My brother got a pulled pork burger, and he really liked it with his fries. Pretty sure he also got loaded fries. He enjoyed it so much he didn't leave not one crumb on his plate, lol. My cousin also got a hamburger and fries, and she thought it was delicious! They also got beers, and everything was pretty good and fairly priced. When I'm around this area, I'm definitely going to come back to this location due to the food itself. Location: This location is huge, and it had inside and outside seating with lots of tables! It's pretty casual, more so a sports bar-type of setting. Pretty nice to bring family and friends to grab a bite or even go on a casual date. They also had private parking, which makes things a lot easier! Service: Service was great. Our waiter was super nice, brought everything in a timely manner, and asked if we needed anything, very attentive.

My husband's noodle dish was very salty...something to keep in mind...the good thing was that the noodles were soba, so they were mostly buckwheat flour, which is better for you. Overall a nice relaxing dinner and our server was very good, and prompt.

Service is great, very attentive and friendly. The food is what earns this three stars. I tried a stuffie, German onion soup, a Farmhouse burger, and a key lime Mason jar. The stuffie was a little small, and most of the flavor was imparted by the ham and the squeeze of lemon. The German onion soup, I'm not sure why it was German except to not be French? Outside the name difference, the onions were way too large, and there was a total lack of flavor going on in the soup. The crock was very large too. The burger and fries looked pretty good, and I enjoyed the flavors here. The fries were rough hewn, so there was good crispness from all the edges. The toppings of the burger, and the bun, were also hearty. Unfortunately, my medium rare burger was more like raw meat with surface browning. I'm a big fan of rare steak, but ground beef needs a little more cooking. Also, the house made ketchup is really more of a marinara sauce. If I'd ended up eating more of my plate before they took it away to re-fire the burger, I would have asked to replace the ketchup. The key lime Mason jar was e everything you want to wrap up a meal. Great flavor, lightness, citrus. I did have to bring most of it home but, unlike the burger they brought back in a box, I'm excited to get back into the key lime. From an accessibility stand point, there is no ramp to get in nor handicap parking, so the evidently don't want your business. Once you're in, there are some seats you could get in, but if this place were full it would be difficult to navigate for anyone. The bathroom is a single room, but very spacious and nice. So, mixed bag for access. Your mileage may vary, but I'm not racing to return.

You walk into the space & the first thing you see is a gauntlet with swinging "axes" that you need to run through without getting hit! I kinda wish everyone had to do it to gain access but it is one of the many fun games/adventures from Level99. The special menu was $25 for a pizza & 2 beverages. Upon recommendation of our delightful server Kobe, we opted for the Hot Mess: ezzo cupping pepperoni, piri-piri sauce, fresnos, queso fresco. Pizza is Detroit style & the edges were perfection, I could have used a bit more sauce but the piri-piri drizzle was fire. We both had a glass of wine. We were in the mood for a nightcap. I selected a coffee stout, Jolly Woodsman by Banded Brewing. Our server asked if I wanted a taste before ordering a glass, I was happy that I took him up on the offer - it wasn't my favorite. I was laughing with him that hubby & I are beer weirdos - we like the lightest & the darkest beers. He offered to bring me a taste of the Night Shift Brewing's Imperial stout, Dynasty. And along with that, he also brought the two lightest Night Shift Brewing beers. We loved all three of them! I would definitely go back for the pizza & the beer but the games are calling my name!

We were there for the wings anyway, as RI Food Fights brought us here. We got the Maple Bacon Bourbon wings, a side of fries and the giant pretzel The wings were good! Not super crispy but the glaze coated them well and clung to the wing nicely. The menu said they were smoked before they were fried, but outside of the generous amount of bacon bits that were part of the glaze, I didn't get much smoke in the meat itself. Otherwise, we liked the glaze. The fries are the more expensive, clear coat kind that hold their crisp longer, which I appreciate. They were great plain or with ketchup. The pretzel was warm and perfectly soft. The beer cheese that came with it was excellent. And the blue cheese dressing was as well that we got with the wings. It had a great blue cheese flavor without giant chunks of cheese. They also offer pizza and a number of handhelds that all looked interesting, so I'll have to come back soon when the full kitchen is open!
