My kids absolutely tore it up, and it was actually the very first bread my youngest has ever eaten. Watching her devour it was such a sweet moment as a mama. The slice of cake we got was phenomenal, and my husband still talks about that cinnamon sugar bun. The first package we tried was a savory one, and my 3-year-old ate the entire bag himself. I honestly couldn't tell you everything that was in it, but he approved with his whole heart, and that's saying something, because he's not a big eater most days. On top of how delicious everything is, the prices are so fair for the quality you get. Pickup was a breeze too! Everything was clean, organized, and nicely lit, so it was easy to see what they were packing for my family. We are huge fans now. I cannot recommend Bread Brazil Bakery enough!

Review for The Back Eddy - Westport, MA…read more Rolled in on a Monday evening, solo at first because my other half was running fashionably late (emphasis on the fashionably). I asked the hostess if I could still snag a table for two, even though I was flying solo for the moment, and she smiled and said, "No problem." Honestly? Bless her. Some places treat you like you're trying to pull off a bank heist if your full party isn't present. The vibe? Laid-back coastal cool with just enough buzz to feel alive without needing to shout over the table. The kitchen's wide open, so you can watch the culinary chaos--or genius--unfold. And that view? Pure postcard. Boats gently bobbing in the bay, sun dipping low like it's trying to flirt with the horizon. You will feel like you're in a Nicholas Sparks novel--but with better food. While I waited, they brought me a tiny bowl of house-made pickles. Tiny bowl, big flavor. Thick-cut, briny, just the right amount of pucker. I sipped on a Buzzards Bay Local Flounder--golden, smooth, and perfect for a summer evening. Then I got bold and ordered the "Deviled Eggs from Hell." And By the power of Greyskull and questionable life choices, they did not disappoint! Light, flaky, spicy little flavor bombs. If Hell is serving these, hand me a pitchfork. Once my date arrived (cue applause), we dove into small plates like it was our job. The Maine mussels? Drenched in hoisin, coconut milk, and spice--like Thai street food met a Cape Cod fisherman and made magic. Bonus points for the thick-cut toasted bread they serve on the side, ideal for sauce-mopping. (And yes, we mopped.) Next came the stuffed clams with chorizo and corn--so good we barely made eye contact. Gone in sixty seconds. For our token attempt at balance, we shared a green salad, and it was actually lovely. Crisp greens, fresh veggies, and a vinaigrette that knew how to stay in its lane--flavorful without being clingy. The service? Stellar. My waitress was a gem, but even the rest of the team checked in, topped off water, dropped off plates, and sprinkled in a little friendly banter. It felt like everyone was in on making the night special. Would I come back? In a heartbeat. With or without my date. Preferably with. But either way, I'm ordering the deviled eggs again.

We were told our order was going to take 15 minutes, and when we return in that time the worker informs us that the food is going to take another 12 minutes because-- to paraphrase-- they were busy packing orders. That 30 minute wait resulted in pickles that tasted like vaguely vinegary cucumbers, dumplings that resembled frozen food in taste and consistency, and medium-boiled eggs that tasted nearly nothing like ajitsuke. The chicken I ordered with my bowl was really the only good thing I got from it, but it was overshadowed by there being about eight times as much rice than the chicken. There were only four pieces of chicken in the bowl and at least 25 bites of unseasoned white rice. Update: As we were leaving, the sole worker in the establishment started smoking a blunt after throwing out the trash. I have to advise you don't come here.

On the way back from the Providence Amtrak Station I had the opportunity to do some solo restaurant…read morerecon for lunch. I pulled out my list of potentials for the drive back and stopped in New Bedford to try Elizabeth's Restaurant at 1461 Acushnet Ave. (right off the I95). For those who prefer a pithy review--and you know who you are--I offer this "Cliff Notes" version: Casual, clean, and comfortable with delicious and authentic tastes of Latin American cuisine, primarily from Guatemala, and friendly service (though I wish I spoke more Spanish). For those who enjoy reading, let's move on to an actual review. Easy, on-street parking, right in front of Elizabeth's (bring quarters for the meters). As soon as I wanted in the aromas hit me and I knew that was going to be the real deal. Jennifer came around from the front counter (which contains a long buffet filled with all sorts of Guatemalan stews and pre-made dishes) to seat me at a booth. I'd reviewed the menu prior to going there and knew basically what I wanted to try--which would have been just a few dishes short of everything on the menu. But that's not reality, at least not any more. So I ordered a medium Jamaica to drink (my favorite), a chicharron and queso pupusa, which came with a small bowl of curtido, and a bowl of Mondongo (which was the primary reason I had selected Elizabeth's as a new place to try in the first place). We lived in southern California for nearly 40 years, so my palate is fairly well trained when it comes a range of regional Mexican dishes. I was at Elizabeth's for the Mondongo because one of my litmus test dishes in a Mexican restaurant has always been the Menudo--a slow cooked tripe soup flavored with various chilis and typically including hominy. If a place can make a flavorful, fresh tasting bowl of Menudo--which takes care, patience and time in the cleaning and pre-cooking of the tripe--chances are most of their other dishes are going to be tasty as well. Over time, I've easily sampled a few hundred bowls of Menudo and most of them were not very good--too musty, too chewy, the broth lacked flavor, etc., though I did have two favorites places in Orange County when I would go to remind myself of what a properly made bowl of Menudo was supposed to taste like. So I was at Elizabeth's for the tripe--since I have yet to find a Mexican restaurant in New Bedford or Providence which has Menudo on the menu. The Jamaica, which is made from steeping dried Hibiscus flowers and tastes somewhat like unsweetened cranberry juice, was delicious and arrived quickly. Ice cold and beautifully tart. I waited about eight minutes and Jennifer arrived with my food, she then went back to get the silverware and some salsa which she warned me was "hot." LOL, it actually wasn't very hot, at least not for me, but it was especially delicious. I would later ask Jennifer what chili was used to make the salsa, she smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and said "only chef knows." Fair enough. Chefs need to keep some of their dishes a secret. It was not as hot as a Habanero salsa, but it was hotter than a salsa made from only Chili de Arbol. Don't know what it was, but it was incredibly tasty. I've never had Guatemalan tripe soup, though I have had Mondongo in the Dominican Republic (and really enjoyed their version of it). Elizabeth's version, which came with rice and a few limes for squirting as well as the hot sauce, was absolutely fantastic. Easily one of the best three tripe soups I have ever had from within the Latin American/Caribbean culinary tradition. The tripe was clean, none of that funky odor which many people associate with tripe dishes. The tripe itself and there was a lot of it was perfectly cooked--soft enough to almost just melt in your mouth, but with just the slightest chew left to prevent it from being mushy. But the star of the dish was clearly the broth. It was similar to a Menudo broth, but far less fatty and far richer in flavor. The broth also featured very small pieces of assorted vegetables in addition to chilis of various sorts which serve as the flavor backbone of this amazing soup. Sorry to be so excited over a simple bowl of tripe soup but it really was amazing and it satisfied a craving I've had since my last bowl of Menudo at Mary's in Santa Ana the night before we moved permanently back to the East Coast three years ago. The pupusa, which is corn masa that has been stuffed with different combinations of ingredients--in my case, crispy pork rids and cheese--is then flattened and grilled. We enjoyed lots of these at the many El Salvadorean restaurants also located across Southern California. The pupusa itself was much lighter and moister in the middle than the ones from El Salvador which I've previously enjoyed. The curtido which is customarily served with a pupusa is a wilted and pickled cabbage and carrot slaw, typically speckled with bits of fried Mexican oregano and often little slivers of fresh jalape

We found this spot on Uber eats but checked the Yelp reviews before ordering. Most celebrated the quality and freshness so we decided to order. There are so many different rolls available at great prices, but the love boat for two really caught our eye. One of our friends is vegetarian so they opted for a tofu skin maki and garden maki. They also offer a poke bowl with tofu, if you are looking to feed a vegetarian. I didn't realize this spot is located in Fall River, MA - but yet it still delivered to Providence which is wild to me. Lucky us! When it arrived, it was super fresh, beautifully arranged, and absolutely exactly what we were looking for. I would 100% recommend this place for takeout if you're in the delivery radius - the sushi is high quality and well priced. The Love Boat for two was 42 pieces - 10pcs sashimi, 8pcs sushi, California maki,spicy crunch tuna maki & Snow mountain maki or rainbow maki for $59 if you order for pick up and $72 for delivery. That is wild to me - essentially $1.40 a piece when the majority of the rolls if you include a rainbow maki have fresh, raw fish. So happy we discovered this spot for our cozy night in.

The menu & reviews looked promising. I'm glad we had reservations, as they were packed on a Saturday night. I was pleased that we were seated within 5 minutes. I was also pleased that their huge booth fit 4 of us comfortably & they were happy to add a chair at the end for our 5th guest. A basket of warm rolls was immediately placed on our table. The large menu had something for everyone in every price range. We started with drinks, all of which were good. My companion & I shared a bottle of Clean Slate Riesling ($33) which we enjoyed. She & I both ordered the baked sea scallop special, which came with 2 dinner sides for $24.99. The scallops were delicious but I would have been happier if my baked potato & steamed broccoli had been cooked just a few minutes longer. They were edible, just not quite as soft as I prefer. Our friends enjoyed their meals... citrus swordfish (also one of the specials), French onion soup & salad, and a chicken salad sandwich. My companion & I shared a piece of lemon meringue pie for dessert, which was good. It wasn't as big a serving as at some restaurants, but it was enough. I have no idea of the cost as prices are not listed on the dessert menu, a practice I dislike. I also didn't like the fact that I asked for a fork as I don't like eating cake or pie with a spoon & was told I couldn't have one as they were all needed. Our friends enjoyed their peanut butter pie & coconut cake. Our server was adequate. We had to chase her down to ask for water, lemon, etc. I understand she was very busy but a smile would have been nice. I do appreciate the fact that we were not rushed out, and we were allowed plenty of time to catch up with our friends. Also, the hostess was gracious enough to take a photo of our group as we were leaving the restaurant. This restaurant used to be the Country Inn on Market Street in Warren. They have a decent sized parking lot, although it seemed barely sufficient for the amount of volume they do. I would rate this restaurant a 3.5 if I had that option. Will I return? Probably not.
