L'Artisan Cafe & Bakery — Restaurant in Providence

There are arguably three different ways to come into L'Artisan Cafe & Bakery: Come out of a 6 AM power yoga class down the street craving something like coffee or an avocado toast. Experience a European-styled feel for breakfast. Arrive with the expectation of a getting great food and amazing coffee.

I entered L'Artisan for reason number 1, and after ordering a drink and a breakfast sandwich, experienced reason number 2. After my coffee and breakfast, I quickly concluded that it was actually reason 3.

Sitting in the cafe and watching the morning sunlight come into the clean, crisp windows was only the beginning of the breakfast experience.

I’ve been wanting to stop here since it’s opened and finally got the chance to this week. Unfortunately I was disappointed and probably won’t be back. I ordered an iced tea and chicken salad wrap. The greens in the wrap were bad. When I first got the wrap it smelled a little off but being as hungry as I was I figured maybe it’s the dressing in the chicken and ate half the wrap.
