Latte with chicken sandwich

Gentleman behind counter was very nice. Sandwich was delicious. Nice little place. Cool plants and art work

Turkey BLT on everything bagel
Stef S.

I don't know how I was so late to the party for this place. Rea's is the exact type of place we needed in Swansea. I went for lunch and was in awe of the beautiful plants they have. All of them are for sale in addition to the artwork that's on the walls. They redid the space so well and you just feel the good energy when you walk through the door. Kyle took my order and was great. I wanted to look through every option before I ordered it and he didn't rush me at all! I ordered the turkey BLT on and everything bagel. Their homemade garlic aioli was one of the best that I've ever had! They have breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches that can be ordered on ciabatta or any of the bagels. They also have a variety of sweet treats and soups in addition to their drinks. I knew going into this café, that it was a cold brew café so my expectation of having a cold coffee was already set. They have a good selection of syrups, teas, and cold foams. My unsweetened, iced black tea was very good. I had a cinnamon bun cold brew with oat milk, that I also enjoyed. I will definitely be back here to try a few more different things. If you're looking for a place to relax with a cold brew and some good food this is definitely the place to go

The BYO roasted chicken sandwich with garlic aioli

Love Rea's! The BYO roasted chicken sandwich with garlic aioli on ciabatta is my go to! Amazing every time! The camp fire s'mores cold brew is yummy and so is the OG iced coffee! Super cute place with tons of plants, community table, and couch. Service is great and friendly!

Egg & cheese on Asiago with special sauce. (Requested no bacon).
Kristen C.

This spot is a perfect place to hang out and enjoy your coffee/breakfast surrounded by plants. I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch (summer special) which was fantastic and came out fairly quick. It comes with the cereal topped on the drink too- fun. I ate an egg & cheese on an asiago bagel. Layered with cheese- so so good. My only suggestion is to provide more options such as plant based products as the breakfast sandwiches consist mostly of meat. I wouldn't consider it vegetarian friendly.

Counter and part of menu
Emily G.

The new store is awesome; very relaxed and cozy with the plants and artwork. I do wish there was an option for hot coffee on a chilly November morning like today, but their cold brew is delicious. And since they were founded on a love for iced coffee year round in New England, as a born and raised NE girl, I love their tenacity. Also ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel and it's perfect. Good amount of crispy bacon, lots of melty cheddar and two eggs. There's an option to add lettuce, tomato and cheese which is awesome but spinach would be nice to have as an option too especially for a breakfast sandwich. Small wait for food but no complaints since it's delicious and it's just the owners working the morning. Definitely will be back for myself and with others!

Borealis has been a regular stop for me for years now, and I'm overdue writing a review. The…read moreBristol location is the newest and is tucked into a converted mill building on Wood Street. Tt has everything you'd want from a great coffee shop: comfortable seating, plenty of room to spread out and work, a rentable conference room, and something you would not expect from a coffee shop, the Aurora Bar, stocked with a nice selection of local spirits and other favorites. My partner and I stopped in for a quick nibble for lunch on Sunday and this was perfect. My partner went with the Caprese sandwich, which is served on a pressed ciabatta with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spinach, pesto mayo, and balsamic. It was simple and tasty, and I was lucky enough to get a couple bites! I went with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which was also simple, but packed with flavor. It had all the obvious ingredients with the addition of pickles, which added such a nice briny little punch and really hit the spot. Something worth noting: both of our items were ordered from the laminated menu at the register, not in the beautiful leather-bound Aurora Bar menu, which appears to be an evening menu with cocktails and other tasty food items. For drinks, I went with an espresso tonic; the slight bitterness of the quinine plays really nicely against the bold espresso, and it's one of those combinations that's refreshing in a way that's hard to explain until you try it. One small note for the team: the Riverside location has always had a real warmth and cohesion to the staff that I haven't quite felt at Bristol. It's not a dealbreaker by any stretch, but a little more energy behind the counter would go a long way. Still a five-star spot, as the coffee and the space more than make up for it.

I came here to see a friend of mine play live jazz music with his band and it was such a cute and…read moreawesome experience! The vibes were great, there was plenty of room for our party (we had 7 of us), and it didn't feel crowded at all despite the number of people that were in the coffee shop. I think that the only downside that I would say for our experience is that the drinks at the bar took FAR too long, although they were good! We came here in the evening, but I would definitely love to pop in at some point during the day because I do think that this would be a wonderful little study spot!
