    In Block Island near Ballards, they only offer outdoor seating and encourage online orders. For a casual take out type place, it was quite pricey, considering the sandwiches come with no side. I ordered a Hot Shot Chicken sandwich, they offered a GF bun but I could detect no seasoning on the chicken, and there was no sauce on the sandwich. I ended up putting ketchup and mayonnaise on it. My kids enjoyed the mozzarella sticks and the cheeseburger. There were no fries on the menu, and my son was disappointed that there was no bathroom. Service was friendly, the picnic tables were a hit with the kids. (I don't understand all the cake pix, I saw no cakes in this establishment)

    Best place to eat breakfast on block island. Food is all fresh. Try the fresh squeezed orange juice. It won't disappoint. We will be back!

    In my humble opinion this is the BEST place on block island to get coffee and breakfast items. They…read morehave a few vegan options on their menu which is incredible! Wish they had more vegan pastries if course, I didn't get any either day I went. They had a vegan cow poke type cookie but I skipped it and went for the vegan just egg breakfast sandwich. Okay the blackberry syrup is TO DIE FOR I keep thinking about it! UGH I wish I could come here more. To say that this is a favorite of mine would be an understatement. Worth the line and wait, worth the money. Great service and vibes. Beautiful location!!!!!!!!

    Let's start with the amazing food!! My friend and I stopped in during a very very busy day…read more(Saturday during August!) and ordered sandwiches to go. I tried half of a Ti Penso and half of the Sun sandwich. Both were delicious but I loved the Sun, it was super flavorful without being heavy and was something I hadn't tried before. The Ti Penso was tasty as well, but definitely felt the Sun won out. The spot is super busy so be warned that the wait times (at no fault of the staff!) are extreme. We got in line at 12:15, ordered at 12:45 and got our food around 1:30. So overall waited over an hour for two sandwiches. However, I imagine if you came during a quiet period it would be a great place to sit inside and read!

    The best thing about the place is the view- gorgeous view of the water and lots of outdoor seating…read more I feel somewhat neutrally about this, but there aren't any waiters really. Instead, you wait in line and order at the bar and they bring it to your table number. If you're looking for a fancy dinner, this isn't the place, but if you're looking for an option in between cheap and nice, this is the place. My boyfriend got the mac n cheese which was $16 (perhaps a little pricey). He said it wasn't very cheesy but personally I like it like that! I ordered the salmon and asked for just farro and corn instead of the succatash and goat cheese and all that, but they didn't bring any farro. I then asked for it and the guy asked me if I ordered it. I said yes, I know I did, and he said he'd go check, but he never came back. After 10-15 minutes I went to find the guy I asked and he seemed confused. He said "I couldn't find her" and I didn't know what he meant, but apparently he was looking for the girl who took my order? I guess to validate that I hadn't asked them to remove the farro? Very odd. A nice employee at the bar told him to just get me some farro (because it's really not that big of a deal) and he brought me a cold small plastic cup of unseasoned farro (pictured). Whole thing struck me as very odd and a little annoying. The dish was $29 which also felt a little expensive, especially without a big portion, but it's definitely more affordable than other places on the island. Overall, great view, but the rest of our experience was meh!
