    So we had just left a bakery that I had been excited to go to and hadn't planned to stop anywhere…read moreelse. I wanted to take my pastries back to my hotel room and live in sweet indulgent bliss. However, my husband is a huge nerd and anime happens to be one of his afflictions and there was a mural on the side of a wall that he wanted to take a picture at. After the photo, we noticed some fun Japanese items in the windows of the store by the mural, so we decided to just come on in and take a look. Wow! This shop was fantastic!!! I fell in love with Japanese stuff when I was a child and this place is a wonderland of food and items. I was actually kind of jealous because I haven't even been able to find some of the fun stuff that I wanted to try from social media in Las Vegas (and we have a lot of Japanese stores in Las Vegas). The shelves are lined quite nicely and the person working was pretty nice. Overall, I'd come in quite a bit if I lived in this neighborhood.

    i passed this hidden gem on my walk to breakfast one morning while traveling solo in rhode island…read moreand immediately i knew i had to walk inside. from the moment i opened the door, i felt like i had been transported back to japan! speaking to the cashier, i learned that the owners are always taking recommendations as to what they should stock, which i love to hear, but i felt that their wide range of products was perfection. i ended up going back multiple times throughout my trip just to pick up little snacks here and there! if you like Japanese snacks or just want to feel like you're traveling abroad without walking into an airport, this is the place for you! and please do yourself a favor - pick up one of those strawberry milks. you won't regret it.

    So after being disappointed by another place that was closed that sparked my interest to head over…read moreto the Hill (Federal Hill)! I walked up and down the street to see what was open and then it hit me. My Grandfather use to take me here on the weekends when I was a kid so I had to head over there and take a walk around and get a sandwich and see what else they had to offer.On to the review! I walked in the store and was greeted with smiles and I walked around and was offered if I needed help with anything. I just walked around for 10 minutes to just soak up all the stuff they had which is like everything! I ended up settling with an Italian Grinder and some Tarrone Italian dessert thing that that my Grandfather loved getting for Christmas time. Itlian Grinder - I have to say the grinder was pretty good ! It had a pretty good meat to veggies to bread ratio! The bread had a crunchy crust but soft on the inside. Tarrone - Just as I remembered from back in the day soft sweet and filled with nuts, O did that bring up memories of being a kid and hanging out with Grandad! Over all, I really enjoyed my time there and enjoyed sitting down eating my sandwich and having some great small talk with a wonderful employee that walked at the register. I didn't get her name but she was a sweet person! The place was very clean and had a great vibe to it! Keep it up over there Venda! I will be visiting again soon!

They have a large case with ready to eat pasta, meatballs, cutlets, sides, etc. The pasta and cutlets are better than what you get at most similar markets. They make sandwiches. They sell specialty products like Olive Oil and vinegars. They sell a variety of ravioli and sauces to make at home. They have fresh bread. Venda Ravioli is a classic spot that has thrived for generations. Places like Venda Ravioli should be celebrated. 5 Stars

    I have a funny little update for anyone who is interested:…read more In August, I bought a monstera deliciosa in a grower pot from Urban Greens for ~$16. I was siked with my purchase as it was. A healthy monstera (no bugs, no root rot, no distress, no disease) for under $20 is always a win in my book. Then I realized that there were probably at least a few individual plants within this one grower pot. I'm a green thumb but I'm also a very busy green thumb, so it took me an embarrassingly long time to get the proper soil for this project. I finally tackled the task of separating & repotting this plant this past weekend. You know those scarves that clowns pull out of questionable places that just keep going & going & going & going & going? & that's the whole bit? Well that was me with separating this monstera. I was the clown & the monstera was the scarf. Any guesses as to how many viable separate plants I divided the original into? My guess (prior to tackling this task) was ~8. The verdict: 20. That's right. I just kept separating more & more & more plants off of the original mama monstera until I had a comical pile of little lads in front of me. So anyways, now everyone I know is getting a baby monstera as a gift from me for any occasion for the next foreseeable future. I have 5 monsteras in pots & another army of monsteras propagating in water. Talk about bang for my buck. $16 for one monstera was already exciting but $16 for 20 monsteras? Unbelievable. Thanks, Urban Greens Market, for my army of monsteras!

    I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

    Ellie's is dangerous. I walked in thinking coffee and one pastry. That lasted about 30 seconds…read more The owner (adorable, by the way) was walking around checking on tables and making sure everyone was happy. It feels like her place in the best way -- warm, proud, hands-on. Pastries are legit. Super buttery, flaky enough to make a mess, clearly baked that morning. No sad, sitting-around-all-day vibes. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and that tomato jam needs to be illegal. Sweet, savory, slightly tangy -- it completely makes the sandwich. I kept trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. Not happening. Crispy chicken sandwich was properly seasoned and not dried out (why is that so hard for some places?). Fries were solid too -- crispy, not limp. And the kale salad with roasted chickpeas and chicken made me feel like I had my life together. Fresh, simple, and actually satisfying. It's one of those places you stumble into while traveling and then immediately start googling whether you can justify going back the next day.

    DID I JUST FIND THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER? Maybe!!!!!!…read more Man oh man did this spot HIT! It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I got the cookie compost ice cream sandwich and as a chocolate lover, it was absolutely divine!! Not too overwhelmingly sweet and it hit just the perfect amount of sweetness I was looking for. The Matcha ice cream was also very, very good and the way that they make their own ice cream here it must be studied because it is just SO good. You can just taste the freshness that comes with their ice cream flavors here. I generally cannot wait to return here to have some more ice cream because I just know that no matter what I get from here, it will be absolutely delicious! If you're even considering coming here for one second trust me GO GO GO it will be one of the best ice cream(s) of your life!
