A coffee-milk-loving girl followed this shop on Instagram and struck glass when she saw a link posted to this shop's website on its account--a glass saying "I [heart] Cawfee Milk."
I love all things Rhode Island, and this shop [clearly] has them!! I live out-of-state, but really enjoyed the time I lived in Rhode Island and all the treats this state has, from coffee milk to Del's and johnnycakes. After seeing a special posted on the shop's Instagram account, I followed the link and shopped like I was in the Ocean State. They have a little of everything, with mixes and sauces as well as books and jewelry. You can even pick out massive baskets filled with different specialty items or create your own bag full of treats, depending on your favorites!!
I ordered a coffee milk glass, a johnnycakes mix, and a buttermilk and honey pancakes mix. Three days--yes, three--later, I received it in the mail, treats packaged and protected well (especially the glass). Tucked in, too, was a handwritten note stating, "Enjoy!!" from the staff at Only in Rhode Island. What shop takes the time to write a note to accompany a package? Only in Rhode Island. (Thank you so much, Only in Rhode Island!!)
While items are a bit higher in price here, you are supporting a small business [focused on showcasing a small state] and paying for quality and the real thing. I am unable to get to a number of Rhode Island haunts due to living in another state, so I paid a little more for quality and convenience, and I am excellent with it, especially after having a personalized handwritten note tucked in with my treats!!
Definitely follow them on Instagram to see scenes of Rhode Island as well as specials they may be having. I plan on stopping in to the shop to see all of the items offered in person the next time I am in Newport. This will hopefully be soon, but I have my glass ready to make coffee milk in and my johnnycakes mix to make some deliciousness to hold me over until then. read more
