Piece of white cake with buttercream frosting is out
Martha H.

We ordered our granddaughter's baptism cake and Kim did an amazing job! She's personable, talented and accessible in person, phone and email. The cake itself was so beautiful with the tastiest cake and over the top outstanding buttercream frosting. The bakery is comfortable and inviting with a large variety of delicious scones, muffins, cookies, danish. The coffee and tea menu is extensive too. We highly recommend Sweet Althea's and look forward to visiting soon!

Custom filled cupcakes
Sydney Y.

A super sweet lady made these cupcakes for me this morning and added the cute decoration. Everyone was so kind inside and they were stocked up on all sorts of yummy pastries that looked absolutely delicious! I had a good iced coffee and can't wait to go back and try the scones!

Amazing coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Love sitting in for breakfast. Quick service.

Delicious Graduation Cake by Sweet Althea's
Mary M.

I am so thrilled I found Sweet Althea's Bakery for my son's graduation party. With the assistance of Kim (who helped me when I called) I ordered a Tuxedo Cake. This cake consisted of a layer of vanilla, a layer of chocolate ganache and another layer of vanilla. The frosting was a delicious classic buttercream. I was told by my guests that it was "the best cake they have ever eaten". Great Success! Sweet Althea's is located at 542 Kingstown Rd, Wakefield, Rhode Island. 401-932-9473

Our beautiful wedding cake (for our mini, 11-person ceremony). Decorated just like we had asked. Lovely!

THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKE EVER!!! Sweet Althea's made our mini wedding extra special by creating the most beautiful and delicious cake. They even took the time to add our hand-cut flowers. Thank you Sweet Althea's!!

Cozy yet very clean back nook
Louise G.

As a baker I seek out genuine bakeries hopeful they will have hyper-delicious baked goods with genuine ingredients. Score 100% here. Scones, muffins, cupcakes, carrot and pound cake, cookies and bagels. Cakes to order. Just icing on the cake (!) that the women here are awesomely nice and cool. And Althea is not the owner's name! Bear cookies, relix mags, and some bears abound, including a Dead bear-shaped cookie! Cozy, friendly and clean. Oh and Dave's coffee AND they add the cream for you and don't make you go to one of those cheezy McDonald's-type condiment stand. 6 stars all the way!!

Small salted caramel birthday cake

We ordered a cake here for our son's 30th birthday, suggested by the hosts of our Air B&B. It was amazing! We've eaten a LOT of cakes before, but this was the best ever. It not only looked fabulous but was also delicious. We opted for the salted caramel cake! Def a must try!

Our 3-tier wedding cake, made to look like a single tier. Vanilla icing, chocolate cake, with salted caramel inside. Outrageously delish!

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.

There are so many things I love about this place. We ordered iced coffee black and a mocha latte…read more(hot), both were so delicious. My eggplant calzone was excellent, and the prosciutto panini was made to perfection. There is beautiful art throughout that you can actually purchase! You cannot beat the prices nor the top notch quality of food here in Narragansett. If you are looking for a little Italian getaway right here in RI, I suggest you check them out. And did I mention they throw tea parties? Absolutely love it & will be coming back!

Stopped by Colvitto's Pizza and Bakery today on my way to meet with a friend. A lot of people…read morementioned them when we had our pizza strip nominations for March Madness, so since I was in the area I made a quick detour for a strip and a zeppole (tis the season, after all) The inside is larger than you expect, with plenty of seating if you wanted to hang out and eat your goodies. I got there around 11am but they still had a wide selection of calzones, pastries and pizza available. The ladies working the counter were very nice and quick as well. Before long I had my pizza strip and zeppole, and was on my way. The pizza strip at first was sweet. Almost too sweet for me, but as I continued, the sweetness faded into balance with the crust and became quite enjoyable. It wasn't long before I polished it off. It is a softer strip, with a good amount of sauce on top. The zeppole was wonderful. The whipped cream was soft and pillowy inside delicate pastry. All of it was light as air and it was a struggle to stop at the hallway mark! But I had to save room for the lunch meeting so I forced myself to quit... For now! If you happen to be in the Narragansett area and are craving the Italian tastes of the city, make sure you stop to check it out for yourself!

The food was awesome - the best tomato strip in RI for sure. They have some awesome pies/calzones,…read moremy favorite being the spinach one. They were able to accommodate my peanut allergy with the pies, but they do have a bakery which contains some allergens. Overall, perfect stop for lunch with something the whole family can agree on.

Amazing. Everything is amazing! Some of the best cupcakes and cakes ever. So much detail in…read moreeverything they do here even how they package their bakery items.

Terrible customer service. The review that I read describing the owner as the Soup Nazi made me…read morelaugh because it is so accurate. All of my interactions with him have left a bad taste in my mouth. He is so rude, dismissive and acts like he's doing you a favor by letting him make a cake for you. It sounds like they make delicious cakes here, but I never got the chance to try any. We tried on several occasions to set up a cake tasting appointment and a meeting to go over the cake we ordered. Just giving them a deposit ended up being so difficult--they never answered the phone and half the time their emails were returned to sender. I probably had to call five or six times just to connect with him on his cell to take the deposit. He would email me windows of time to make the call and then he wouldn't even answer. Their store is closed 90% of the time it is listed as being open. We also found out that the cake we ordered is actually being canceled and we got no explaination at all. Patticakes never even contacted us themselves and we only found through other means that they canceled all their orders for the summer. If we hadn't heard through the grapevine, we could've ended up a few weeks away from our event and not had our cake! Hopefully getting my deposit back will be easier than it was trying to pay it. And hopefully another bakery in the area will be available so close to my event. I don't know whats going on with this business, but its terribly run. I'd steer clear of it and find somewhere else to get a quality cake from. Doug will be the first to tell you (because he did) that no cake I get will be better than his. But at least those other cakes will be delivered.

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!
