    Finally, got to check this place out in person. The food and coffee were amazing. I had an amazing cappuccino and a sandwich, can't remember the name but bacon, egg and cheese on a biscuit. Both were amazing, anything on a biscuit you can't go wrong. The service was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has a chill vibe, you could visit with friends or get some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be returning asap.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute place. Lots of indoor seating, different seating arrangements. Size friendly as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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: [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's pretty spacious inside and you could definitely take time in there to chill on your laptop with all the outlets around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good coffee (drip and espresso) and breakfast/lunch sandwiches with ample seating and easy on street parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is lovely for some quiet time alone or meeting up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Great cafe spot! The iced lattes tasted great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the decor and ambiance inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sitting area is large and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was swift. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Enjoyed their selection of jazz music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place to sit and get a coffee and do some work![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am guessing this is a fairly new place since it still has that new cafe smell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was looking for a quick bite to eat after my dentist visit up the street and Notes came up on my search. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small coffeehouse cafe right on Armistice off of Newport Ave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have an assortment of pastries, prepared foods and coffee and tea. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're a local to the neighborhood, this could definitely be your new hangout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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!
    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!

    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

    I hate to give less than 4 stars. But I feel it is necessary here…read more Experience started off positive. Came in while it was slow on a Sunday afternoon and sat ourselves. Server came over to give us waters, came back quickly twice to take drinks then food orders. We were told our appetizers would come out shortly. Then we waited. Our food was finally brought out (all together). After we got everything we wanted more drinks. No one came back to check on the food or refill our drinks. Food was good, not great. The dipping sauces we ordered for the pretzel were really subpar. Beer cheese that was split and congealed, and guac that was dark and slimy. Everything else was decent. The standout part of the meal was actually the soup of the day, clam chowder. Cashing out with a gift card was a pain. We were also not provided an itemized receipt. The amount seemed way higher than expected. Either way, payment required two different transactions so we could tip on a credit card. Not their fault, but also our original server must have left, and the one that took over apparently was the only one on the floor even as the dining room started to fill up. Had we ordered more drinks like we wanted, it would have brought us over our gift card amount so we could have paid the remained with a credit card. I don't think we would go back.

While I can't say I've absolutely loved all of the seasonal specials that come out of the kitchen, they hit the mark enough times to keep me coming back to try the new ones. Servers are friendly, capable, and food comes out quick. I've probably been 30+ times and never am disappointed.

    After reading the stellar reviews, we decided to try CHOMP Kitchen and Drinks on Mother's Day…read more Since it was late, we ordered dinner to go. We both ordered the Classic Smash Burger, one with cheese and one without. Unfortunately, both burgers were utterly tasteless, with virtually no seasoning detected at all. The Chomp Sauce that was supposed to elevate the burger was so sparse it barely made an appearance, leaving the burgers bland. Honestly, the bun was the best part. The brussel sprouts I ordered also lacked flavor and seasoning aside from the char, and his Cajun fries were so salty they were nearly inedible. After driving from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as a special Mother's Day treat, it ended up being a very disappointing experience, especially given the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We may have caught them on an unusually busy night, but unfortunately our meals fell far short of our expectations.

    This is a small eatery (I counted max 39 seats between tables and the bar) with difficult parking…read more I was able to get a spot right in front b because I went to lunch, but the parking lot has signs saying it is for employees of the wood shop next door, and no trespassing in the lot across the street, so I think street parking is the only option? 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.

    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.

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!

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!
