    The Ritual Signature - a bit dry
    Michael P.

    First visit to Ritual Cafe. I'll start by saying I'd go back. It's a modest space, very casual, not trying to do too much. You wouldn't feel out of place here whether you're in some scrubby clothes, dressed business casual to head to work, or whatever in between. The service was friendly and quick. I ordered the signature Sandwich because, it felt fitting for our first stop here. I expected a bit more. The chicken cutlet was very well executed. Juicy, crisp and a great portion for the sandwich. Overall it felt dry to me, though. My wife got the breakfast blt and that had a mayo slapped on the toast, it would have rounded out the signature Sandwich wonderfully and made it next level. Consider asking for this as an add on. Other than the fact that it's a deep fried chicken cutlet, it's a pretty protein packed and hearty sandwich for breakfast that doesn't feel too heavy since the Kaiser roll is lighter than you'd get with a bagel- however, it was still sturdy enough to keep everything in the form of a sandwich and not a fork and knife dish. The cookie, well that's a different story. The chocolate chunk one tasted like cardboard. Not sure if they use lard or shortening in their cookies vs butter? But whatever they do, it's evident in the flavor that the ingredients aren't quality or the cookie was well past it's prime. I'd come back for another sandwich or maybe the breakfast burritos. The iced coffee I got was as expected, solid but nothing noteworthy.

    I would say the experience was neutral. Nothing stand out but also nothing bad. I would come back and try something new. I was a bit disappointed because I saw in a previous review someone came and did work at the cafe. I tried to do the safe but a really nice worker told me they didn't have WiFi for patrons. I ate inside but ultimately left when I was done.

    Iced Maple and Brown Sugar Latte
    Cara P.

    You might miss Ritual Cafe if you were driving by because the building blends in almost seamlessly with the neighboring houses. But this is part of what gives it that small, local business feel. And the steady stream of customers is a testament to the tasty offerings you'll find here. The cashier who took my order was very friendly and patient as I browsed the menu written on the wall. I decided on the Breakfast BLT and an iced maple brown sugar latte, and I split a chocolate chip cookie with my husband. The BLT was very good! It was moist, the toast was crisp, and the sandwich held together well. There was a nice butty tasty from the griddled bread and a richness from the mayo, but was balanced nicely by the freshness of the arugula and thick tomato slice. The latte was good/fine. It was a bit too light and milky, but I enjoyed the flavor. I asked for it less sweet, and that was a good level for me. I also appreciate that they use real maple syrup and brown sugar instead of a flavor syrup. The cookie, however, was a flop. To put it simply, it tasted like cardboard. It was dry and not at all the buttery, soft yet crispy chocolate chip cookie I was expecting. Another downside for me about Ritual is the ambiance as there really wasn't any. The peeling leather seats were the most unappealing aspects. They did have some cool art on the wall, but the pieces felt disjointed from the rest of the drab interior. That being said, I do think Ritual Cafe is serving up some solid breakfast sandwiches and their coffee gets the job done. It's an easy stop to make if you wanted to grab and order to go, and, for the most part, you won't be disappointed!

    It's always a good day for Ritual Cafe! I usually stop in for a breakfast sandwich - the Ritual signature is my favorite, especially if you add arugula and chipotle aioli. Perfection! No wonder they won the best breakfast sandwich in RI with that beauty. They are very efficient, especially if you can order ahead. I also love their paintings inside the restaurant - very fun and makes the indoor space more welcoming.

    When a cafe has a solid variety of breakfast options and specialty lattes... I'm in! I've only been to Ritual twice because it's a bit out of the way for me but whenever I'm in the area, this will definitely be my go-to. Delicious coffee, sandwiches, and cookies. Ritual is a cozy cafe with plenty of seating, art on the wall, and a restroom for customers. The service is very patient and friendly.

    Went to this cafe and tried Reuben's Cousin Paul Sandwich. It was delicious and flavorful, the egg and pastrami were a good combo. Service was fast and friendly. There wasn't much of a sitting area, meant for grab and go. Come back again if I am in the area.

    Small breakfast/lunch shop in Warwick. Amazing food, high quality ingredients, and very friendly staff! This shop is a most stop for bfast or lunch! The chicken cutlet is one of the best I've ever had! Super crispy yet still juicy chicken. The bun was nice and toasty with a generous amount of crispy bacon! Come check out this place for one or the best breakfast shops in New England!

    Their iced coffee was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by just how good it was. The place was packed with people happily having lunch and working. Menu items looked great.

    Stop #12 on RI FOOD FIGHTS First Inaugural Search for the Best Breakfast Sandwich!!! The Sandwich chosen for the competition is the The Ritual Signature...a jumbo egg, bacon, cheese & a fried chicken cutlet on a poppy kaiser roll (if that doesn't float your boat, any sandwich can be ordered...but why not try the Signature?! It was amazing! I ordered with Swiss Cheese and I also got a Knead Gingerbread Donut (they're everywhere!)...be back to try other item options!

    This is definitely a hidden gem. They had the best rueben I've had in a long time, and the iced latte was on point. There are a few coffee shops in the area, but this one takes the cake! Service was very friendly and helpful. Seating is comfy and decor is adorable!

The inside is small with only a few tables and some counter seating, but I really like the design choices they made. The plants mounted to the wall and natural light are nice. The baristas are super friendly as well. For food and drinks, I ordered the iced black sesame hojicha latte and I added ube cold foam, and the sausage egg and cheese biscuit breakfast sandwich. I really enjoy the drinks here. The hojicha latte was quite tasty, not too sweet, and the nuttiness of the sesame came through. I have also ordered a hot latte on my first visit, which enjoyed a lot. The milk was steamed nicely and the espresso was smooth. Something to note, is that there are no ceramic mugs here, which is a bummer. The big thing for me that was a disappointment was the breakfast sandwich. It really felt and tasted like a frozen sandwich that was popped in the microwave. The biscuit was soft and limp, the sausage was that processed patty, and the egg was a premade flat circle. Overall, I think the drinks and lattes are really good and I would totally stop in for a pick me up any time, but definitely skip the food.

    *GLUTEN-FREE ALERT*…read more I'm just now learning what a Guatemalan quesadilla is & I want one every day for the rest of my life. Thankfully, we have Cafe Ava for that. A Guatemalan quesadilla is sorta like a cornbread or a pound cake or a piece of actual heaven. It's got a thick but soft texture, it's a little bit sweet & a little bit savory, & it's topped with sesame seeds. My mouth is watering just writing about it. Cafe Ava makes their Guatemalan quesadillas with rice flour, so they are gluten-free. GLUTEN FREE PERFECT LITTLE PIECES OF HEAVEN. Anyways, I know where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast.

I went with one of their most popular signature drinks, the tres leches iced latte. It was very sweet and tasty, but the sweetness was a bit overwhelming. My husband got the flan iced latte, and it was the same experience for him. The quality of the coffee itself seemed fairly good but just a bit sweet per personal preference. I didn't get the chance to try their food. That being said, if you have a sweet tooth, this is a perfect spot to try. I'm planning to come back to try their food and a regular latte to really get a taste of what they offer. Location: This location is on the main street and is pretty artsy. It's a perfect spot for a coffee run or to meet up with friends. They have a really cool painting and overall aesthetic, and even a swing, which adds to the interior design and makes it cozy and unique. There is also parking in the back of the building. If that is full, street parking is available and easy to access. Service: The service was quick and efficient. We spoke to the barista who was making our coffees, and they took our order and prepared our drinks in a timely manner. I will be coming back because I feel like I need to try the food and more latte options!
