Cafe is really good & quick. There are tables where you can stay and chat or get some work done. They don't have WiFi, but I had no issue using hotspot. The menu is pretty diverse and there are a lot of specialty coffee flavors. I got a medium iced Maple Brown Sugar latte. It comes sweeter than I like, and I forgot to ask her to reduce the sweetener when I ordered, so keep that in mind! read more

Ritual Cafe - Iced maple Maple and Brown Sugar Latte with oat milk. - Cafes Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Ritual Cafe is a very small cafe in Warwick, RI. They have won best breakfast sandwich and I understand why! I ordered the breakfast BLT and I haven't had anything like it before. I was a little scared because I love a BLT as is and I've never thought to put an egg on it, but it was delicious! I ordered the Milky Way latte and I thought that left a little to be desired. I ordered it with whole milk and it really just tasted like sweet milk. I couldn't really taste coffee at all. My boyfriend ordered a latte with oatmilk and he had the same impression. It wasn't strong enough. The only staff we really interacted with was the person at the register. They were not super warm and bubbly, but they were the only employee working the front of the house and they were consistently busy. I noticed this person was also who made our lattes. Maybe Ritual should consider putting two people at front of house if they are going to be expected to take the orders and make the coffees. read more

Rating: 3.8 Went to try the place for breakfast on the weekends. It's a small local cafe that offers sandwiches and sides. The parking is available but small. In side is pretty small with just few seatings and a small counter to order. It was very busy when we got there and waited in a line for about 15min to place order. We got the ritual signature, reuben's cousin paul, maple brown sugar latte, and snickerdoodle iced coffee. The drinks came out quickly in few minutes. The drinks were ok but were not mixed at all you can see the syrup at the bottom and feel the texture the sugar particles. The maple brown sugar one was pretty sweet and snickerdoodle ice coffee was not sweet at all which seems kind of inconsistent so we ended up mixing them to make it to our liking. The snickerdoodle ice coffee just kind of seemed like a regular ice coffee. After mixing it rigorously they were fine. The sandwiches were pretty good. I liked the reuben one better but it's mainly because the ritual sandwich was dry and needed some sauce which I'm not sure they forgot or was just the way it was. Service was good but they were definitely backed up and wait was long because of it. I did have to wait about 15minutes for food to be ready as well as waiting in line so total of about 30minutes. It's a small establishment so I can see that it's difficult to manage a lot of people with small kitchen and few people working. Overall the place was good but the time I went it was a bit hectic and I can see that things were rushed. I'm sure the experience may be better if it wasn't so busy at the time but it shows that service can be inconsistent when they are busy. I'm not sure if I would go back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!

The ritual signature chicken sandwich is best sandwich in RI for breakfast. Their coffee is good and the vibes are on point. Once a month after church it's required in our house lol read more

We got our food to go-the cafe is cute but had too many people to sit comfortably & talk. This is my 4th time there, and the food is always really good. Breakfast wraps, the Vermonter and BLTA-all fantastic (got the burrito twice). Only things I'd suggest-get seltzer water or more drink options, don't use syrup in the coffee for flavor and ask the person at the register to greet customers and smile....that seems to be a problem everywhere with the younger kids....but its up to the businesses to teach them. Will def be back! read more

I've been wanting to try this place and check out the hype over the breakfast burritos! They did not disappoint. Came here on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the bacon and egg burrito and an iced coffee. The burrito took some time but definitely worth it! read more

Service is great, though I feel bad for the front workers sometimes bc it does get rather busy and they're under staffed. The ambiance is also good, very clean. The food, is excellent when they have what you want. That's my biggest complaint, they never have all the items on their menu, never. It's especially odd to me because there's a Dave's market less than a mile away, there's no excuse. Ingredients are kind of important. I honestly like this Café but I want them to do better. read more

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! read more

Amazing sandwiches and fries. Friendly service. Not a big enough cafe though. Not a lot of windows. So, if you need a good sandwich on the go, this is the place to be! read more

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! read more

Wow. This place is booming! Over a 30-minute backlog on food. Even for a bagel and cream cheese. And yes, people chose to wait. Very cute cafe. 5 tables for two and a high chair in the corner. Very clean looking except the chairs definitely need to be replaced. They are peeling. I'm usually averse to flavored coffees. However, I was really curious about the snickerdoodle iced coffee so I had to try it. To say the least, it is excellent. I'd definitely try their flavored coffees again without hesitation. Food is a bit pricey for what it is but it's nice to support local businesses. read more

This is easily the BEST breakfast sandwich place in Rhode Island. I am from Long Island, New York and since moving here, I haven't been able to find anything remotely close to the classic "bacon egg and cheese salt pepper ketchup" sandwiches I am used to. For some reason, most places microwave the eggs and use English muffins, not ritual! They are the real deal with kaiser rolls and bagels that don't taste like plastic. I went in for the signature but got the Reuben's cousin Paul's sandwich. It was so good. I am excited to go back. I also got a chocolate raspberry latte and a French Vanilla iced coffee, both were good. At many coffee places either they have good food OR they have good coffee but one is lacking, Ritual was amazing all around. Staff was also friendly! - I hope they open another location near Coventry because I am obsessed. read more

Coffee is fantastic and has the breakfast BLT. Both were fantastic. Customer service was superlative. Definitely will be making this a weekly habit when in Warwick read more

This is literally my FAVORITE breakfast sandwich in Rhode Island! Amazing coffee + a sausage egg and cheese made fresh with a fried egg on a poppy seed Kaiser roll- there's NOTHING better. I highly suggest checking out this amazing spot! read more

Stopped in for the first time on a Saturday morning. Great vibe here- unassuming on the outside and all about the food and coffee on the inside. Grabbed a breakfast sandwich with chicken cutlet, egg, bacon, cheddar (I was HUNGRY) and a large coffee. Just great all around. Menu has plenty of options. You'll be happy. Go support. Let's keep these guys in business. read more

First discovered this little cafe as part of the RI Food Fights Iced Coffee passport. I fell in love with the Ritual Signature breakfast sandwich which keeps me coming back whenever I am over in this area. It's a delicious sandwich of egg, cheese, bacon, and a fried chicken cutlet! Everything on the breakfast and lunch menu sounds delicious. Maybe one of these times I'll explore the rest of the menu. They make everything fresh to order so you will have a small wait for food. But I did observe a lot of people ordered ahead online and they were in and out very quickly. read more

Great spot for coffee and breakfast sandwiches in Warwick. I ordered a cold brew and was able to get the same syrup as specialty lattes. If you order before nine, get a free coffee as well with a breakfast sandwich. My friend ordered a breakfast sandwich with Gouda, egg and bacon on a small European roll. She enjoyed it. I had a breakfast burrito with egg, choice of cheese, and choice of meat (sausage). they will also add chipotle aïoli included. this is one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. They don't skimp on the egg cheese or meat. I would say they probably put three eggs in the sandwich. Delicious! Well balanced and hearty. I don't think I'll need to have lunch today. The cold brew coffee was gigantic (the large is actually large), super smooth and excellent with thin mint syrup. The young person who works there is courteous and quick. The sandwich took about five minutes to get out, but there was no one else waiting at the time. I feel like everything came out pretty quickly, and the order was filled quickly as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Food is always great! I love it but if you're in a rush don't, I repeat don't order form here. On average it takes about 20 minutes, today took nearly 45 minutes.... read more

Fantastic breakfast sandwich. Made with care, hot and delicious. I'm not usually a fan of kaiser rolls but grilled and stuffed with an egg, cheese, bacon and a chicken filet - WOW! Highly recommend. read more

Very cute from the outside and small and cute in the inside as well. Food was insanely good. The girl at the counter was so awesome and sweet and decorates the donuts herself. Will be coming here again when in the area. read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast sandwiches. My partner got the signature, I got the classic and neither of us was disappointed.

Popped into Ritual Cafe for an iced coffee. I have to say the cold brew was really delicious and rivals many of the great coffee shops in RI. I will definitely be back! The service was very quick as well! read more

First time trying this morning and I'm so impressed! I got a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and it was seriously the best I've tasted around here by far. The hashbrown on the side was crispy, similar to macdonalds hashbrowns but better. They have a good amount of donut flavors if you go early enough. I got the maple frosted, so good!! Latte was good too. Everything reasonably priced also, I would be paying more at any of the breakfast chains for everything I got. Definitely will be back! read more

So happy I found this spot! Stopped in for coffee on the weekend and loved how cute and clean it was. Service was great and coffee was delicious. Came back for breakfast this morning and the sandwich was excellent, with a real fried egg. The parking lot on the side street makes it easy to get in and out. I ordered online when I left the house and it was waiting for me when I arrived, quick and convenient. I'll continue to drive by the three coffee chains with watery coffee and frozen reconstituted egg product to come here! read more

The food here is phenomenal!! Brett the owner is great, as is the staff! Place is spotless!! They are busy, and you may have to wait for your food a few minutes, but trust me it's worth it!!! Highly recommended!! 5 stars!!! read more

My daughter and I went to Ritual Cafe yesterday.... It was my first time and it was amazing! My daughter wanted me to try it. We had the Signature sandwich.. so delicious! The owner did such a wonderful job with the establishment. So nice and clean and neat inside. Also, my daughter and I showed up 10 mins before closing and we did not realize it and the owner already started cleaning up and we told him we do not have to have a sandwich since it was close to closing time and he said he would gladly make us the sandwich. So impressed! The coffees were also amazing! Thin mint latte was delicious! New favorite place... go try it you will not be disappointed! read more

I LOVE THE BREAKFAST BURRITO WITH MY WHOLE HEART. My go to order is sausage, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, chipotle aioli (essential), and hash browns inside (also essential). And it's the best breakfast burrito I've ever had the honor of ingesting. read more

Got the fried chicken sandwich. I chose BBQ as my sauce. Very yummy!!! I got mine to go but the dining area is very cute.

Every thing I have tried from here is top notch. From coffee to the sandwiches. The chicken sandwiches are epic and can't go wrong with any of them. The breakfast sandwiches are great too. read more
