🤩 Rhode Island Food Recommendations!

A roundup of must-try eats in Rhode Island—from iconic tarts to hidden gem burgers, these spots won’t disappoint! 🍴✨ 🌈 Pastiche (Famous Fruit Tarts) Rhode Island’s legendary fruit tarts—they’re so popular, they need no introduction! This spot is on “must-eat lists” for the US, and honestly? You haven’t really experienced Rhode Island if you skip them 🥧. Pro Tips for Ordering: For better value, find their official website via Google Maps to pre-order a whole tart. If you can’t finish a whole tart, just walk in for a slice! Hours: Open Tue-Sat 9 AM, Sun 10 AM (closed Mon). Heads-Up: Go EARLY for slices! They often sell out of individual slices by noon—don’t miss out ❗ 🍦 Tricycle Icecream (Hidden Gem Ice Cream Spot) This cute, under-the-radar spot is right near Pastiche—specializing in ice cream cookie sandwiches and waffle cone ice cream rolls. It’s the perfect follow-up to your tart! We tried the Brazilian Passionfruit: coconut cookies stuffed with passionfruit ice cream and a raspberry filling. The flavor was bright and delicious, and the price was totally reasonable 😋. Pro Tip: The ice cream is super firm right out of the freezer—wander around nearby shops for 20 minutes first. It’ll soften up perfectly, making every bite creamy and easy to enjoy! 🥯 Seven Stars Bakery (Local Favorite Bakery) Also close to Pastiche, this is a low-key community bakery—no big online hype, but loved by locals! Every morning, you’ll see tons of Rhode Islanders grabbing coffee and pastries here ☕. They have a huge variety of breads and baked goods—pop in, pick a pastry that catches your eye, and pair it with a coffee. It’s the perfect way to soak up that laid-back local vibe 😙. 🍔 There, There (Top-Tier Local Burgers) Another under-the-radar spot that’s a total winner—small but mighty, it’s easily in my top favorite burgers ever! The menu is short, but every item is done to perfection 🍔. We ordered the signature Dream Burger: a sesame bun loaded with two beef patties, cheese, shredded lettuce, and their secret burger sauce. The bun was incredibly soft, the patties were juicy and savory, and the melted cheese mixed with the secret sauce was pure magic. Their Steak Fries (thick-cut fries) were awesome too—tossed in a special seasoning blend that added a unique kick. Location Note: They have two spots! The new one is inside Track 15 Food Hall—this brand-new food hall is clean, lively, and super popular. Every shop there has a long line, and the vibe is electric. If you go, take time to explore—you might find other tasty surprises! #RhodeIsland #Providence #Newport #FoodieFinds #USA #RestaurantRecommendations #FoodReview #CheckIn #FoodExploration #Desserts #MyStudyAbroadLife
