South County Bread Company is a family-owned bakery in Wakefield, Rhode Island, known for its…read moresourdough-based breads, croissants, and pastries, made with fresh, in-house milled grains. They are committed to using healthy ingredients. The Morning Buns from this bakery were highly recommended by a local. They did not disappoint. Order included; **Morning Buns - their rendition of a cinnamon bun. "The bakers work this croissant dough for several days, folding in cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, and love. Guaranteed to be one of the best pastries you've ever tasted." The buttery layers melted in my mouth. The cinnamon was fragrant and did not dominate the flavor of the sweet pastry. I understand why they are the most popular item on the pastry menu. **Almond Danish -- My favorite in a close competition after a sampling. The almond paste gave them a pronounced nut flavor as well as a slightly chewy bite. **Monkey Bread pastry -- although fresh tasting, it was a little dry and only mildly flavorful. It was my least favorite. **Chocolate Chip Cookies -- crunchy at edges with a little chew and a pleasant aftertaste of butter. Excellent! As a novice baker of Sourdough Breads, I was pleased to learn that the Bakery has a Sourdough focus using sourdough starter for most products including the croissants believing it's healthier and easier to digest. Amazing! Wish I lived closer. The bread selection was impressive and included Sourdough. Sliced upon request, they are popular and often sold out. I was advised to get there early.

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.

I have driven by Fuel so many times and seen it pop up on my Yelp recommendations, however, never…read morehad the opportunity to visit until recently. 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.

Update: 9/13/26…read more Similar experience to one year ago. Got to Fuel maybe 1:55. Sat down to eat our snack, staff began vacuuming and washing floors at 2:00, when they're supposed to close at 3:00. My friend was uncomfortable, as it felt like they wanted us to leave... so we left. Another customer was walking in right around 2:00. She appeared very confused, because someone was vacuuming, and no one was working at the counter. Not sure if she waited to order or not. Is it me, or is it rude to begin loudly and aggressive cleaning a coffee shop one full hour before the posted closing time? It's odd.

Ok - so I love a summah, I love a coffee, and I looooove the Real Housewives of Rhode Island…read more On my recent trip, my RHORI obsessed friends and I made it a point to visit Audrey's, owned by one of the couples on the show. Imagine my surprise when Jared himself was not only making coffee but called out my name when mine was ready. Day, made. This spot is huge, and they have a bunch of coffee drinks on the menu and its wildly affordable. I'm talking under $5 for an iced latte that was delicious. It seems like a nice place to catch up with a friend, and while i didn't have the cocktails it was cool they offer that and wine. Parking is ample in the shopping center. My advice - take a visit to this spot, but just skip the slam pig sash on your outfit.

Over the last couple of months, I have tried to brew the best coffee at home. As a part of that, I…read morehave decided to try to find small batch roasters in the area to source my beans. 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.

I appreciated that their cocoa was 100% pure cocoa powder w no added sugar, such a rarity nowadays. I ordered a cocoa latte with cocoa dusted on top and it was perfect: rich, smooth, and balanced without being overly sweet. Great drinks, great people, great experience. I'll definitely be back!

Believe it or not - as a Rhode Islander - this was my first trip to an Iggys. It did not…read moredisappoint! The fish and chips were amazing. My dining partners had the fish sandwich (which I tried and will definitely make a trip back to order one for myself) and the other had a hot dog. That too was excellent! With the Fish and Chips came chowder and I chose my favorite - Rhode Island. That too did not disappoint. The flavor and portion were perfect. The staff is primarily young and energetic. Some may not like the easy going atmosphere but I enjoyed it. Their enthusiasm added to the upbeat vibe. I never saw one of them not working. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is the fact the ordering process - specifically the walk up area - is a bit chaotic as other reviews have written. We went early enough so there was no line and only 1 ahead of us. However by the time we came left there was congestion roaming around the porch area and we had to weave through to get out and off the porch. If there is a way to keep those that have ordered from hovering around - that would be a big help. I'm looking forward to go back again soon!

My mom got a chai tea latte which was so good that I needed to get my own at another coffee shop because I couldn't stop thinking about it. We got a banana bread slice too because someone in front of us ordered one and it looked too good not to get one of our own. We also got a turkey sausage egg and cheese sandwich on an Asiago bagel. I thought it was good, just a normal sandwich and nothing special about it. It was a busy little place but they got through the line fairly quickly and there is ample seating. Would come again!

This is a new cafe/bakery located in the Mariner Square complex in Narragansett, RI. 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.
