Baked to perfection. The line was long, but moved quite quickly. The staff were incredibly friendly and moved everything alone like a well oiled machine. There are local products on the shelves. The coffee is fantastic. There is a seating area in the window and some outside if you're will to brave the cold.

I had the white chocolate cranberry scone and it was fantastic. Iced coffee is always my go to. I am glad they took some time off after the holidays, but I really missed them. Glad they are back in full force!

Donuts must have bad publicists. First, Dunkin' purges them from their logo like a reprobate uncle…read moreand now Bess Eaton quietly morphs from "Donut Shop" to "Coffee Shoppe" with a wave of the copywriters wand. BTW, they still serve fried dough in infinite varieties but this Rhode Island stalwart would rather keep that on a need to know basis. Fun fact... Rhode Islanders eat more donuts per capita than any state in the US. Engorged waistlines aside, Bess Eaton is everything Dunkin' isn't namely, fast, clean and cheap. While Dunkin' has radically expanded their menu forcing order completion times to infinity and beyond, Eaton has kept things simple meaning your hot coffee isn't iced by the time it delivers your morning fix. Unfortunately, a pit stop in Rhode Island is a bit of a detour on my daily commute but ole' Bess remains a sought after destination when I do return to the State of Rhode Island and the now deleted Providence Plantations. An easy five stars.

Let me tell you.... Wakefield is all a buzz over this place reopening! The line was out the door,…read morethe drive thru line was to the street. And why you ask? For styrofoam 32oz containers filled with crushed ice and ice coffee. Even on a day when its 25 degrees out. The staff was a little frazzled, which doesnt surprise me. They had been getting their asses handed to them from the minute they opened. There was a well dressed couple (Im assuming the owners) stocking baked goods, and checking on the staff. They dont have the trademark Red White and Blue cups yet, but Im sure without a doubt, they are on their way. Once the staff gets the hang of it, and the craziness calms down, Im sure this place will run like the well oiled machine that it used to be. Good Job guys, and thank you for making Wakefield that Happiest Place on planet earth.

My recent weekday afternoon visit to Fuel Coffee Bar showed me how an independent coffee shop can…read moredeliver excellent service through its dedicated approach to managing its business operations. My first impression of the room hit me through its espresso scent that filled the entire space. The modern design of the space creates an environment that supports both focused work and relaxed socializing through its streamlined design. The shop maintained a peaceful atmosphere because I was the only customer present which enabled me to study the surroundings at my own pace. The space appeared to be perfectly clean because a staff member was busy cleaning the floor which showed that the establishment maintained cleanliness as a fundamental requirement. The shop maintained a quiet atmosphere which only included the soft sounds of the espresso machine and its periodic loud noises. The staff members delivered fast service while maintaining a friendly attitude. The staff members welcomed me as soon as I entered the building and they explained all menu options to me because I did not know what to order yet they did not attempt to persuade me to choose any specific item. The staff members allowed me to create my own drink which I found to be a useful feature. The staff members permitted me to create my own drink because I needed to follow my specific requirements. I chose to order a large iced mocha latte with an extra espresso shot. The staff members finished my order within three minutes which they executed successfully because most businesses find it difficult to create this level of operational efficiency. The espresso shot produced a rich chocolate flavor which tasted smooth and fresh without any harsh notes. The drink maintained an equal distribution of coffee and chocolate flavors because neither ingredient overpowered the other.

I am so glad we did, because this is definitely a new favorite spot and worth the drive over the bridges! It was a rainy afternoon, and my grandma and I rolled into their ample parking lot to get some coffee and a midafternoon snack. The shop is sparkling clean with plenty of seating at cafe tables and a cozy couch section. The clientele was a mixture of students from URI and professionals working remotely. All were sipping lattes and seemed happy - a good vibe right from the get go. The barista was upbeat and knowledgeable about the menu, recommending their house made Pumpkin Spice Latte (I had to try it!). I am so glad I did, because theirs is made with pumpkin puree, so it's not sugary or cloying like other varietals you may be familiar with. We were also informed that all their baked goods are made fresh daily, and I was pleased to see the pastry case was clean as well (this is a less common occurrence unfortunately, than you would think). We tried the Blueberry Muffin, and it was FABULOUS! I am already looking forward to going back and trying more. Don't be fooled by the humble roadside plaza exterior- Fuel is certainly worth the stop.

However, you're really there for the coffee and unfortunately that was a big of a disappointment. My wife's mocha latte tasted little more than hot milk; and my americano was weak.

I did a Google search and saw that The Coffee Guy was close to me and that they had a variety of beans that they roast in house. I stopped in to the shop and walked up to their display of bags of coffee beans. The owner introduced himself as well as the staff. They were all very friendly and knowlegable. I made my selection and brought it to the counter to purchase. They also serve coffee and pastry but this trip I just wanted the beans. They offered to grind them to whatever courseness I wanted, but I prefer to grind them at home. A pound of coffee averages $20 and they have a frequent buyer program (when you reach purchases of $100, you get a $5 credit. This is tracked so your purchases accumulate). They also deliver to the area on Wednesday's if you order online by their Tuesday Night deadline. I have tried this and my coffee was on my doorstep before 9 that Wednesday. Very convenient. Lastly, the store is not that big with not much room for sitting (I honestly can't remember if they had seating.) However, if you are looking to source your beans or grab a cup of coffee on the go, this is a great option.

Located…read moreopposite Pancho O'Malley's and two doors down from Domino's, this little cafe offers the most exquisite and decadent pastries. I've been here now on two occasions and both times was overwhelmingly satisfied with the wares offered. I can't speak for the coffee, as I'm not a coffee drinker. But the pastries are out of this world! So far, I've had the Fig Tart, and the Pistachio Cheesecake which was to die for. I'm hoping this cafe can make a go of it as Narragansett is pretty devoid of good bakeries in that end of the town. The bakeries near the shore tend to be tourist traps with mediocre offerings, indifferent staffing and exorbitant prices. Galleria Dolce is a welcomed breath of relief from these other shops. If you're in the area, I give it my highest recommendation.
