    Came here for a late breakfast and tried to follow the order and then sit system. You need an animal to sit upstairs. There is outside seating as well. Drinks were great I did an elixir which was great detox and I had a delicious lemon ricotta pancake and breakfast burrito. Great place!

    This is one of my comfort places to get a bomb chicken sandwich for lunch!! Friendly staff, nice music, and just overall good vibes! Definitely recommend getting the grilled chicken sandwich with the DELICIOUS house greens (man oh man their dressing is BOMB)!!! But you GOTTA use the Rhed's hot sauce Morita for optimal taste!!!!

    I stopped in for a hot tea and pastry this afternoon for the first time with a friend. Everything was great from start to finish; what a cute place! They had a nice selection of treats, and I especially enjoyed the ginger scone. The London Fog latte was perfectly made and came out piping hot. What a perfect place to get together with friends or stop in for a pastry to bring home. Five stars for sure!

    Online menu showing a full grilled cheese served.

    We walked in, ordered, and were already questioning why a BLT costs $15. My boyfriend ordered the BLT, and I ordered a grilled cheese with tomato soup (which I had checked on the online menu beforehand). We ate upstairs, even though it took about 20 minutes just to find a seat because the restaurant was completely unorganized--people were literally fighting over tables. When our food finally came out, I was given only half of a grilled cheese sandwich. We assumed it was a mistake and asked an employee, who told us, "Yeah, you only get one half and a full soup." There was absolutely no disclosure anywhere that you only get half a sandwich, and the photo on the online menu clearly shows a full grilled cheese. I've also been here before and received a full grilled cheese sandwich with soup, so this was especially confusing and frustrating. Paying almost $40 for this experience was really disappointing. Safe to say we won't be coming back. I honestly wish we could get our money back.

    One of my favorite food places in the whole wide world. I always get a grilled cheese with avocado and a side of BOTH greens and chickpeas. I could never pick between the two of them they are both way too good. They have so many breakfast/lunch options, pastries, iced coffees, teas, smoothies seriously everything and anything you can think of. Every single thing I have gotten from here has tasted amazing and I truly have never been disappointed. When you order your food you get a cute little animal figurine to bring with you to your table and then they magically come find you and bring you your yummy food. The only downfall of this place is the seating arrangement- the upstairs has a lot of small tables closely seated next to each other and very limited seating on their outdoor rooftop- there are a few tables outside though which I find the seating to be more comfortable there.

    This place was great! Walking in with the little beehive light, and the little symbols/assets around the spot is so cute. Tasty menu options, great sized sandwiches and I was truly happy with everything I got- super filling. I wish I got a drink but thats for another time. Picked up an order menu with a friend so there wasn't much conversation with the staff, but they were all smiles!

    Hidden gem of Bristol! Tucked on a side street this cozy cafe awaits. Plenty of parking nearby. Loved our flavorful fresh brewed coffee and tasty breakfast bites. Cozy atmosphere upstairs too! Come summertime there appear to be plenty of outdoor seating options as well. Great service!!!

    (9/1/25) it was very busy due to Labor Day, but the line moved pretty fast and we got our food relatively fast. The staff was friendly. It's a small cafe so we got our food to go and sat by the water. I got hashbrowns and the French toast. They had forgotten to give me my cookie so I had to go back for it. The hash browns were a very small portion, and tasted very bland. The French toast was okay, probably won't be going again.

    Single handedly my favorite breakfast spot and it's served until close. So many local options. So so so delicious. They also serve lunch. Sidewalk, indoor and roof seating for small tables. Free street parking and 2 hour parking along the water. Seriously must try at least we nice

    Stopped in here the other night on my way through town for work. I picked it because the kitchen…read morewas open late didn't realize it was a partial bar menu at that hour, but honestly, it didn't matter. Everything I ordered hit the spot. I went with the ahi tuna platter, which was set up almost like a charcuterie board, and it was excellent. Also grabbed a clam chowder, because... New England, and it did not disappoint. Caught the fourth quarter of the game, and the place had a great vibe. Crowd was lively, staff was friendly, and everything was clean and comfortable. If I end up back in that area again, I'll make sure to swing by a little earlier so I can check out the full menu. Solid spot all around.

    Sorry, but I just don't get the hype. I was recommended this place by a few people, but my…read moreboyfriend and I were not impressed. It was packed and service was kind of slow. The drink menu was not very extensive. Our Asian salad cups appetizer tasted exactly like an Asian salad mix I've bought at the grocery store and looked like it too - I'm convinced that's exactly how they prepared this. My veggie burger had burnt edges and wasn't too enjoyable flavor-wise. It didn't help my overall impression that when I got takeout here another time, they totally butchered my boyfriend's name when we ordered over the phone, and we had a hard time picking up our order because of this (how you get "Stephanie" from "Anthony," I just really don't know). I think this place just gets lucky having a good location across from Independence Park and being close to but just out of the way from downtown. Can't say I was impressed by the food - there are too many other good options in Bristol, I just can't say I'd recommend this to others. Perhaps it's improved since I visited, but it's a pass for me based on experiences I've had.

They had cookies and tarts that looked incredible (definitely going back to try those ), but we went for the classic vegan hot dog and it was so satisfying. Super flavorful, generously loaded with sauces, and that perfect crunch in every bite. It had that nostalgic street-food feel while being completely plant-based. After trying them at the fest, we're definitely planning a visit to their restaurant to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're in Rhode Island and looking for creative, delicious plant-based food.

    At first I really liked this place and probably would've left a five stars-- before I explain more,…read moreI do still think it's worth popping by for a casual bite. The burger I ordered (bacon cheeseburger with no bacon) was delicious. No complaints there and I will probably reorder. The only problem here was that I asked for sweet potato fries instead of regular fries, to which the waiter simply said okay. Turns out it was an undisclosed upcharge. Not only did he not tell me it would be $2.75 (or something like that) more, but the fries are listed as the same price online. When I told him that, he said that their online menu is really old (this is to say, don't look at it! and also, not sure why they wouldn't update it if they know it's incorrect). Sure enough, the printed menu also said nothing about an upcharge for a different fry, so ultimately I was able to remove the charge, but it was a little awkward and frustrating. My only other complaint is not particularly the fault of the restaurant, but I suppose just a side effect of the laidback vibes. A group of 7 or 8 people came in like 20 minutes after us and was so loud that I almost suggested we leave. My guess is they were drunk, but it was a Wednesday night around 6:00, so I wouldn't have expected that. They were so loud that I was yelling to my friend who was within arm's length. Totally changed the vibe and enjoyment for me.

The biggest surprise this time was a brand new food menu. Much improved and has more contemporary take on the bar food. Its as if the Japanese Izakaya influence has been infused into some of the menu items - Karaage for example. It is not called that on the menu, however. Gotta try other items on the emenu The service was great. Usually is. Maybe extra attentive because it was a Monday night. Anyways, its a good time nevertheless.

    After randomly finding this barbecue spot on our way to exchange a highchair, we had no idea we…read morewere about to have one of the best meals of our lives. We started with a half order of nachos topped with the most flavorful pulled pork I've ever had. My wife and I literally couldn't stop eating. The fresh jalapeños added just the right kick, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the barbecue sauce, and the house-made chips stayed crisp the whole time--no sogginess, just done right. Every detail was intentional, and you could taste it. Then came the dry rub chicken wings--perfectly cooked with a juicy center and a crisp exterior. The subtle honey sriracha flavor layered in beautifully without overpowering the chicken. To finish, we had the baby back ribs over coconut rice. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the rice was cooked perfectly with just the right hint of sweetness, and the shaved Brussels sprouts with pickled onions and jalapeños added the perfect crunch and contrast. I genuinely couldn't stop eating. The service matched the food. Our waitress guided us with spot-on recommendations, and I must have told her six times that this was the best meal I've ever had. By the time we left, we felt like we had just been welcomed into someone's home. I loved the atmosphere inside and out. I only wish I had the chance to meet the owner to say this in person--the attention to detail, the energy, and the care put into this place are undeniable.
