I'll admit it, I completely overlooked this place for years…read more I live maybe seven minutes away, but I usually avoid the Mineral Spring area if I can. For whatever reason, I also lumped Jersey Mike's into the same category as Subway, which I haven't eaten at in years. That assumption kept me from ever giving it a chance. I was wrong. After a long day at work, I wasn't in the mood to cook, and I didn't feel like sitting down at a restaurant either. I wanted something quick that actually tasted fresh, so I decided to stop in and finally see what all the fuss was about. The first thing I noticed was how clean and quiet the restaurant was. I was greeted the moment I walked through the door, and everyone behind the counter was genuinely friendly. There was plenty of conversation and joking around, but they never lost focus on what they were doing. It made the place feel welcoming instead of feeling like another fast food stop where everyone is just counting the minutes until the end of their shift. Watching the sandwiches being made right in front of you is part of the experience. Everything looked fresh, the ingredients were piled on generously, and nothing felt like it had been sitting around. The sandwich itself was excellent. Fresh bread, quality meats and toppings, and portions that actually leave you full. It was simple, but done well. The prices are reasonable for what you get, especially considering the quality. It's also in a convenient location that's easy to get to, although I could see the parking lot getting a little tight during the lunch rush or busier times of the day. What surprised me most was how quickly this place moved onto my regular rotation. It's exactly the kind of restaurant you want after a long day when the last thing you feel like doing is cooking. Fast, friendly, consistently good food, and no unnecessary fuss. Needless to say, I won't be waiting years before coming back again.

The restaurant itself is clean, has a large deli display, and posters of all their delicious sandwiches. They also have premade salads, some desserts, and other goodies. I want to commend the employee I had tonight. I wish I had gotten her name but she was extremely kind and personable. I've had her before and she always makes for a great experience. If the business owner reads this she was working the night of 2/7/26 and is a crowd favorite! Tonight I ordered the Cape Cod sandwich and we also had the chicken and falafel wrap. The Cape Cod was delicious! Nice and crispy fish even though I brought it home. Their falafel is always moist and delicious as well. My other favorite sandwiches are the Varone and Goldfinger. What really sets them apart is their bread- always soft and very fresh tasting. Their prices are also reasonable for the amount of food you get. This is a sandwich shop Subway is jealous of! Definitely a must try.

From the moment we placed the order, everyone we worked with was professional, helpful, accommodating, and friendly. During a difficult time, their kindness and attention to detail made everything so much easier. Our order was delivered right on time and they helped set everything up quickly and efficiently. The food was absolutely outstanding. We ordered a variety of dishes, including gluten-free pasta, and every single item was delicious. One of the biggest hits was the grilled lemon chicken with artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes--it was incredible. The grilled vegetables were perfectly prepared, and the sausage, potatoes, and peppers were excellent. Their marinara sauce was rich and flavorful, and they were incredibly generous with extra sauce and grated cheese, which everyone appreciated. The true measure of how much people enjoyed the food was that guests kept going back for seconds and even thirds. By the end of the event, there was virtually nothing left. Every dish was enjoyed from start to finish. Pauli Penta's exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was exceptional, the portions were generous, and the service was outstanding. We are so grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for catering for a family gathering, celebration, or special event. Five stars all the way.

The cafe has comfortable couch and plush chair seating, as well as tables with traditional cafe chairs and is decorated so nicely with the starry night theme, and also cat lover decor. So cute! We both opted for iced coffees - my 16 oz Twix decaf latte ($8.50) was ok, but didn't have enough coffee taste - It tasted more like a sweet milk, and it was pretty pricey for the size. I also ordered a chocolate croissant ($5.99), which was very good. Service was super sweet - everyone was very kind and friendly and accommodating with special requests. The house made pop tarts looked delicious, and I would also like to try their biscuits.

I have a picture below. We visited RI during the Christmas season, so we not only got to see how lovely this cafe was, but also their awesome Grinch-themed Christmas decor. The walls are filled with cool artwork, but the centerpiece is a mural on the wall of Van Gogh's masterpieces "Starry Night." The owner, Mia, is great to talk to. She takes great pride in what she has envisioned here, and I'm always happy to support a great, small business. She told me about all of their craft latte's and it was really hard to choose. I went with a Gingerbread latte and my wife had the Rhode Islander, which is a latte with coffee syrup. There are so many other drinks to try, so I will probably try to come back while I'm still in town. The latte's were delicious and really such a treat. They also have some pastries, which most are baked in-house. They looked really good! I also love the merchandise they sell which was all local products and things made by local artists. I highly recommend going to Starry Night if you're in the area and skip the chains like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.

They have a small parking lot in front of and beside the building. There are tables and chairs available if you want to dine in; however, I opted to order my food to go. I ordered the large natural turkey sandwich without lettuce, with a side of chips. I later decided I wanted to order chicken noodle soup, but found out I couldn't have it due to my food allergies. Thankfully, they were able to void the order and refund me for the soup. Be sure to let the cashier know about any allergies you may have, as I failed to mention it to him at the beginning. He informed me that they use a few tree nuts in certain items and that he lets the kitchen know when customers have allergies so they can be extra cautious when preparing the food. It didn't take too long to receive my food, but while I waited, I looked around. They also sell various cheeses, meats, and other à la carte items for purchase. My sandwich was plentiful, and I had enough to eat the next day. My only gripe is that, since it was my first time, I wished the cashier had explained the menu a little more. I didn't realize I could change the type of bread and add more toppings. My sandwich was a bit dry, so I wish I had known I could make other modifications. Now that I know, I'll be sure to add more toppings and try a different type of bread next time. Overall, it was pretty good, and I would try it again.

Because I know about this little hidden gem already, I was driving home after a long day and I wasn't going to pass it without stopping. This is what I'd call emotional support pizza. Not a pilgrimage. Not a revelation. Just a really solid pie from a place that knows what it's doing and doesn't need to make a fuss about it. Pepperoni and black olive for me today. The crust had that chew you want, cooked through, some golden brown color on the bottom. The sauce was rich tomato with garlic running underneath the cheese, present enough to know it's there without fighting for attention. The olives were generous and distributed like someone thought about where they landed, not just dropped from a height. The pepperoni is cupped and charred slightly at the edges. The toppings-to-cheese ratio was right. It arrived fast and it arrived hot. This is what a revered neighborhood pizza place is supposed to be. Maria's does it. It's primarily takeout, four tables, busy foot traffic in and out the whole time I was there. They do good business and they know what their business is. I sat down anyway because I tend to be an iconoclast, and it was a fine visit. If you live nearby, you already know about this place. If you don't, that's between you and your neighborhood.

We started with the fried ravioli appetizer, which was disappointing -- clearly just frozen ravioli that had been reheated, with bland, low-quality cheese inside. The dipping meat sauce was the one bright spot on the plate. The bread basket was just plain white sliced bread and butter, nothing you couldn't grab from a grocery store shelf. For my entrée I ordered their chicken parm special (comes with a side salad), and asked for it with spaghetti -- it came out with penne instead, though I doubt the spaghetti would've saved it. The chicken itself was poorly breaded, spongy, and flavorless, topped with a bland processed cheese instead of real parmesan. The red sauce was equally bland with nothing special going on. Even the side salad tasted like it was made with old, tired produce. Service was fine, but between the frozen appetizer, the order mix-up, and a chicken parm that missed on every level, I can't recommend this place. Skip it.
