Caprichos is a well known restaurant, I say that even though this was my first time going in. I go…read moreby here every morning in my way to work around 7:00 am and it is always packed, today was no exception but knowing I wanted to experience this place for myself I left a bit earlier for work. Parking can be challenging especially seeing this restaurant runs on Lonsdale Ave a busy street in itself. The line was out the door and that's where I stood waiting patiently. The love moves at a decent pace. Here finally my turn and I honestly had no clue what to expect or what they even really sold but I was hoping they had anything that contained ham and cheese and they did, Brad with ham and cheese for $3.50 I was surprised that was all. They do gave finger foods, drinks coffee and fruit drinks, breads, pastries of many sorts. I was tempted to get a pastry but I stayed focused. The bread was actually good and tasted fresh they only concern which was a big one for me was that there was hardly any ham and cheese in it and I mean like barely none. I could have actually went with just bread as that's what I felt I received. Would I return maybe especially if I am in mood for something g sweet as the variety was plenty to choose from. There is a sit down area on both sides of the restaurant with one big screen tv. This place seems more of a grab and go type establishment. They open at 5:00am and close at I believe 9:00 pm

This is such a hidden GEM whole in the wall! The best part is that this place is authentic…read moreColombian food. My friends always rave about it here and I'm so happy I discovered it. I don't speak much Spanish so used to get intimidated going into order but the food is just so good, it was worth every trip. Great news is that they just got an online ordering platform! You can order right online for pick up and bypass the long line out the door. The place is always busy but worth the wait, I would definitely suggest ordering online if you are in a rush. They don't have much parking but I always somehow find street parking. It's a very casual place with cafeteria style seating. I get the chicken with potato empanadas, beef empanadas, with their homemade hot sauce. They also have a ton of pastries. All homemade DELICIOUS!

Oh my! This was my first visit to this lovely cafe and I can't wait to go back. My friend and I…read morevisited for dessert after having dinner nearby, and the pastry case was full of delctable treats, even though it was the end of the day. It was hard to make a decision, but I went with a croissant stuffed with chocolate, fresh strawberries and whipped cream, while my friend went with the Chocolate Mousse Santiago tart. Let me just say, that both were rich, high quality, perfectly prepared, and amazing. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but my friend enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but after I considered the high quality of the ingredients anad the generous sizing, I think their prices are right on target. The cafe eating area is spacious and is perfect for conversations or quiet work. The entire cafe is super clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!

Love the vibe here. I've been to Europe a few times and this has an exact feel as a patisserie in…read moreEurope. However, prices are not even close. I ordered an apple tart and a small piece was $7.50! Yes, it was good, and the cream was wonderful, but paying about $2 per bite is outrageous. The value of their drinks might be a little better. I ordered a Cortado and it was delicious. The volume of liquid wasn't too low. $4.25 I would give it 3 stars, but I know not everyone is good with money and many are willing to pay these prices on the east side Providence. The staff was nice, but nothing over the top.

I love the smell of bubble waffles. There are about 3 tables inside. The menu is on the wall. Service was great and super friendly. I really liked how all the signs was bilingual. I chose a scoop of the cotton candy ice cream. The ice cream was so creamy and tasted delicious. I can't wait to come back to try their bubble waffle ice cream.

The carrot cake and banana crème are my hands down favorites, but the lemon cake is very closely behind. Even items like scones that aren't typically amongst my favorites, are made very well. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you go there and see something you think you would enjoy, get it! It'll likely be top 5 on your all-time list.

Food: four stars We got a fruit tart and a chocolate cake…read more Both tasted okay. For fruit cakes my top choice is still the fruit Mille crepe at Harbs. Service: five stars The staffs were welcoming. We asked for a less sweet cake and they introduced all cakes to us. Ambiance: five stars The store itself was small with one or two benches for indoor seating. They have two benches outdoor as well.

Café Italia really does remind me of a café I stopped at in Italy. Turin to be exact. But really,…read moreItaly has these little cafe's throughout and I love these marble and metal tables, the ceiling mural and the cute cupid motif. It's warm and cozy and although there were a lot of women during our visit, my three male companions didn't seem to be uncomfortable. Maybe it's the Italian vibe. We met up for a beverage and Café Italia offers coffee drinks, wine and beer among other things. I went with a hot cocoa (it was that or hot tea). Cocoa was definitely a good choice. It was lovely to look at and very chocolatey. I had heard they have a gelato flight available, which I did not see on the menu and did not ask about, but I will love coming back here in warmer months to check that out. The space is on the small side with some bar seating and a bench along the front side-walls with those cute marble tables and chairs in front. They get a good amount of seating in the small space without feeling too crowded. One waitress was managing the space alone and she did a wonderful job. Tattoos and piercings and sweet as a peach. I just want to hug her. Maybe that's just me. Parking is on street (some paid so look for the signs!) or in one of the paid lots in the area. One restroom for all at the back is modern and clean. Buon appetito

This continues to be my favorite waffle place in the country. They are constantly releasing…read moredifferent flavors to stay on top of trends and they never fail. For this visit, some people in my group ordered the matcha waffle: matcha silky cream, chocolate drizzle, topped with fresh strawberries, while others including myself got the ube waffle: ube silky cream, drizzled condensed milk, and topped with fresh blueberries, bananas, raspberries, and coconut shavings. By default, these were on the liege waffle which is personally my favorite since it has a crispy and caramel like consistency. The ube cream was very creamy and smooth. The condensed milk was a great touch, as it acted like a syrup. The fresh fruits helped balance out the sweetness. The matcha one was also good. It reminded me a little of the dubai chocolate combination, mostly because of the colors. I've been seeing them add more and more drinks to the menu - mostly ones that resemble the waffle flavors. The prices have not changed much and they're still reasonable for the quality and quantity. There is plenty of seating in the lower area of their store. It is off of Thayer street so depending on the day, parking can be tough.

I recently tried this coffee spot and thought it was just okay overall. The drinks didn't have as…read moremuch flavor as I was expecting. I ordered the crème brûlée coffee, and while it wasn't bad, it mostly just tasted like regular coffee without that rich, dessert like flavor you'd hope for. On the other hand, the tiramisu latte was actually really delicious. Honestly, I wish I could order a whole cake of just the tiramisu, it was the highlight for me. You definitely get more cake than the coffee, but it worked in its favor and tasted much better than the crème brûlée drink. It was nice to try, especially since everything looks so aesthetically pleasing, but it feels more like a place you visit for the vibe rather than a go to coffee run.
