Dropped in for an RI Food Fights cookie and left with a a spinach feta scone and a cayenne peanut…read morebutter cookie. The feta scone was to die for. I'd go back just for that, but they have an awesome roomy space and a ton of other things to choose from as well. More on the scone for a second.. Flaky, buttery, salty, filling, everything about it was fantastic. Okay, the cookie. The spicy pb cookie, it was very complex, had me pondering everything I knew about peanut butter cookies with the layers of flavor and sensations. That said, it was a too hard in my opinion for a peanut butter cookie. Generally I think "soft baked" texture with pb cookies. This one was hard and crunchy. Not bad, but just threw me off a bit. Stop in, try out their food. You won't be disappointed. Took all the will power to not get this awesome looking raspberry bomb/dome tart.. Next time. Staff is awesome as well. Always Thankful for patience when I'm choosing out pastry at a bakery because it's a tough decision to make that takes time!

I came back to Sin on a Thursday afternoon. The display case had fall pastries like a Pumpkin…read moreMousse Bombe ($10.00) and it looked marvelous. It was very smooth and creamy, simply delicious. The outside shell and the pumpkin inside was packed with flavor. I also really enjoy the graham cracker base. My husband had the yodel ($4.00), a chocolate cake rolled with a buttercream filling and covered with chocolate and sprinkles. He enjoyed his pastry as well. Later that day, I saw Sin posted on their instagram that they were unfortunately closing the retail storefront and going back to focusing on custom cakes and speciality dessert orders. The last day the bakery will be open is Sunday, September 21st. I was so glad I was able to stop by before they closed.

When a place is calling itself a creamery, I assume they make the ice cream, or that it's…read morefresh-ish, but this tastes like the ice cream you could buy in a carton at the grocery store. I will say the portions are generous, but when you consider the quality, I personally wouldn't consider it worth it. I loveee ice cream and was so disappointed by it. The waffle cone is also wrapped in paper that is impossible to take off.

I was attending a work meeting in another state and we were all tasked to bring something from…read morewhere we lived. I needed something that I could pack in my carry on. After thinking about it, I decided to visit Anchor Toffee located in Farm Fresh Rhode Island. Anchor Toffee has handcrafted candy & toffee made in Providence, Rhode Island. When you walk into Anchor Toffee, there are a few samples and the items are displayed very nicely. I found a box of different flavored Saltwater Taffy and a box contains approximately 60-65 pieces. The saltwater taffy is made the New England way - in small copper kettle batches with just a kiss of real sea salt. This was perfect and it was only $9.30. My colleagues really enjoyed the taffy! I also purchased a 2 oz bag of Coconut Almond Toffee for $5.20. It had good flavor. The cashier was very friendly. I recommend visiting Anchor Toffee.

I was on my way to the Narragansett Indian Tribe 351st Annual Meeting and Pow Wow, but since this was on the way, decided to stop by for a quick treat. I would say the name is partially accurate, in that there is not much in the area besides some nurseries and the diner next door. They do have a parking lot and a lot of picnic tables to choose from, some in the shade and others with umbrellas. Most of their ice cream comes from Gifford's, and some are New England Ice Cream and Warwick; I liked this level of transparency. I wanted to try something from Gifford's, but I couldn't say no to the Cinnamon Bun one from New England Ice Cream. My brother chose the Cashew Caramel Truffle from Warwick Ice Cream. We asked for both in a cup with a cone on top. The cutest little girl called out our order when it was ready and handed it to us through the window. The cinnamon one was amazing and tasted exactly like a cinnamon bun; it had cinnamon, the base tasted like the frosting with hints of condensed milk, and it had chunks of dough throughout. The caramel truffle was also very good. It is easy an on and easy off from the main road.

The beige building sits high in the sun, creating a shaded area for the outdoor tables. A cool respite on yet another hot summer day. The woman at the window was great, her eyes lit up when I submitted my request for her favorite on a wafer cone. I also got a water bottle and about a minute later the next window town opened and two hands stuck out. One had my bottle of water and the other held a cone of s'mores ice cream. I chose to eat my ice cream in the car with the AC blasting. This is probably the best s'mores ice cream I've ever had. Made by Gifford's, a well known high quality New England ice cream company, the graham cracker ice cream base was so good, big swirls of marshmallow cream and flat chunks of chocolate that didn't get stuck in your teeth. This is why I like asking the workers their favorite, because I wouldn't have chosen this for myself but now that I know it exists I'll be ordering this flavor from now on!

Scialo Bros Bakery is an Italian style bakery in the Federal Hill section of Providence. I've been…read morea few times over the years, most recently last weekend. They sell fresh filled cannolis, cakes, cookies, pastries, etc. The small shop has a classic feel. On this visit, I just bought a box of cannolis. They had an option of a traditional filling, or with chocolate chips. They also had options for capping the ends. I chose chocolate chips for the chocolate chip filling, and pistachio for the traditional filling. I tried the traditional with pistachio. The shell is lighter than most of the places where I've bought cannolis. The filling was mildly sweet, very smooth and had a very slight fruit flavor. Perhaps from orange zest? In my experience, Scialo Bros is a cool place to visit and has good treats.
