beans + buns — Restaurant in Cranston

My favorite coffee shop by far, and it’s no surprise they have a line out the door every weekend. The service is phenomenal, and everyone here welcomes you with a smile. There are so many coffee drinks to choose from with amazing flavors. Cinnamon buns and pastries that quite literally melt in your mouth with decadence. Delicious breakfast sandwiches and bagels. My favorite part: becoming a regular, where everyone knows your name and order. I’ll be coming here for the foreseeable future.

Some of the 1 star reviews on here have to do with service and product availability. beans + buns makes all pastries in house starting very early in the morning, which means if they run out of cinnamon buns they are usually out for the day. That’s just how it goes. Getting here early (8am) usually results in there being a full availability of pastries. All of the employees work diligently hard to ensure that all orders are fulfilled despite some very busy weekend mornings. Ordering ahead of time online may cut down on wait times. Regardless, this group does as much as they can to make sure you get what you come in for and...

I thought we'd try a new breakfast place close by so we stopped here last week and this week. On our visits we had low carb bagels and cream cheese and ice coffee. Bagels were very good and had plenty of cream cheese, no skimping. The first week the guy said he'd bring our bagels out to us and we waited at least 20 min. so I went back inside. I saw the guy look up and see me but went out back (outdoor seating there too) and he walked around to the front to give us our bagels. Clearly he forgot us. Our bagels were cold. This week I waited for the bagel and got it - someone else made it and I knew it was my order so no problem there. Myfriend and I are outside eating, I'm still eating my bagel and the same guy who forgot us last week grabs the plastic basket with my napkins in it and says, "I'll take that" and snatches it up as I'm still eating my bagel half. I had to hold and eat the rest of my bagel without putting it down. Not a big deal but it just felt rude and unwelcoming. I won't be back to this place and clearly if you are not a regular, you won't be treated very nicely by...

This is my wife and I’s spot. We’ve turned it into somewhat of a ritual. Most Fridays I put in my wife and I’s breakfast sandwich order online and I’ll bring my 4 year old in to pick out a pastry out of the case (he usually goes with the Chocolate Croissant and others he’ll go for the massive chocolate chip cookies with the sprinkled salt on top). Pro Move: get breakfast sandwiches on the homemade biscuits or croissants. Both are great but if you’re real hungry in the morning those biscuits slap! While traditionally in life I’m a bacon or sausage breakfast meat guy, don’t sleep on their ham. It’s the MVP. Most people expect like “deli” ham slices…. Nope… not at Beans and Buns. At Beans and Buns it’s the good good ham like your grandma used to make. Also some of their danishes are insanely good. They do like huge “danish loaf” and slice of strips for customer. Sometimes when I get there at 7am they are still hot and they’ll be like blackberry and cheese (together, not separate danishes!!) or some kind of like Pumpkin Pie or peaches and cream or something. We...
