RI food fights brought me in and you don't get access to the whole sandwich menu here, unfortunately you have to pick between their "Mushroom Bahn MI" and their "Screaming BLT". I went with the BLT since I wasn't feeling the vegan option. The description was "chili-hoisin glazed bacon | sliced tomato baby greens tomato jam | dill pickle pickled red onion chipotle aioli toasty thick-sliced white bread". Honestly, it was underwhelming. It had some tasty components but it was pretty average. The bacon was terribly weak. It was probably frozen precooked bacon that is heated and brushed with a hoisen glaze. I was hoping for some thick cut glazed almost candied bacon. Their avg. sandwich was around $16-17. If paying for that, I'd be left pretty disappointed. On top of that, it probably took around 35-40 minutes to get the sandwich. Again, pretty okay sandwich, the pickled onion, tomato jam and Chipotle aioli elevated things, but it's in vain with the bacon they use. Their other sandwiches sound good, so it's possible I'll visit to try them out at some point but can't see myself running back here after my impression with this BLT.

I walked up and down the street to see what was open and then it hit me. My Grandfather use to take me here on the weekends when I was a kid so I had to head over there and take a walk around and get a sandwich and see what else they had to offer.On to the review! I walked in the store and was greeted with smiles and I walked around and was offered if I needed help with anything. I just walked around for 10 minutes to just soak up all the stuff they had which is like everything! I ended up settling with an Italian Grinder and some Tarrone Italian dessert thing that that my Grandfather loved getting for Christmas time. Itlian Grinder - I have to say the grinder was pretty good ! It had a pretty good meat to veggies to bread ratio! The bread had a crunchy crust but soft on the inside. Tarrone - Just as I remembered from back in the day soft sweet and filled with nuts, O did that bring up memories of being a kid and hanging out with Grandad! Over all, I really enjoyed my time there and enjoyed sitting down eating my sandwich and having some great small talk with a wonderful employee that walked at the register. I didn't get her name but she was a sweet person! The place was very clean and had a great vibe to it! Keep it up over there Venda! I will be visiting again soon!

I would have given 2 stars but rude staff seems to be a recurring theme at Sawyer's…read more I visited Sawyer on the west side of Providence in March. The space itself is interesting -- I understand the location has even been used as a filming location for a movie -- and the coffee and food we had were both quite good. What stood out, unfortunately, was the atmosphere created by the staff. During my visit the café was less than half full, but employees were very actively directing where people could and could not sit in what otherwise appeared to be open seating. At one point I watched a staff member speak sharply to a customer while waving a sign that said "No laptops at the bar." The confusing part was that the customer didn't appear to have a laptop at all. The interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and awkward to witness. Taken together, the tone of the staff came across as petty and uninviting, which really undermined what could otherwise be a pleasant place to stop for coffee. The drinks and food were good, but the atmosphere made the experience feel tense. Visitors may want to keep in mind that seating and house rules seem to be enforced quite strictly.

Early August, Sawyer's introduced Sawyer's Beach Service and since a group of 4 of us were heading to Easton's Beach on Saturday, I definitely wanted to order 2 of the Beach Service packages. The Summer Beach Service includes a basket for two packed with your choice of 2 salads or sandwiches, a large house lemonade or iced tea, chips, house pasta salad, cookies, and fresh fruit. It was very easy to use the Toast website to select the items and pickup date and time. On Saturday, August 23, 2025, I parked across the street from Sawyer's and headed in. There is plenty of street parking. Inside looks like an indoor farmer's market: the bakery case is loaded with sweets from NAVAD, potted flowers and greenery are displayed for sale on stools and antique ladders, woven baskets overflow with herbs. A cabinet is stocked with local coffee beans and tea, flour and oats from Maine Grains, a stack of cookbooks, and spices. A fridge is filled with Rhode Island milk, Maine butter, and fresh rhubarb. I informed the staff member that I was here to pickup my Beach Service basket and she told me to wait a few minutes since they were just finishing packing it up. The tote was packed to the brim. My tote had a Roast Beef, Horseradish, Blue Cheese on Baguette and Avocado, Arugula, Cucumber, Sundried Tomato, Pickled Onion on Multi Grain, Iced Black Tea, Chocolate Chip Cookies, chips, house pasta salad, and apples. The other tote had Turkey, Bacon, Sundried Tomato on County White and Mortadella, Mozzarella, Artichoke Pesto on Focaccia, watermelon lemonade, Chocolate Chip Cookies, chips, house pasta salad, and apples. Both totes had utensils and plastic cups with lids. We all absolutely enjoyed everything in the tote and couldn't finish everything at the beach. All the ingredients in the sandwiches and orzo salad were fresh and were very filling. The Douglas Sweets Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookies were so soft and delicious! The chips were North Fork Potato Chips and crispy. The Beach Service was definitely worth it and I will unquestionably get it again. I am looking forward to visiting Sawyer's again.
