I recently had my baby shower at The Cafe and could not recommend them enough for any shower, meeting or event needs. First, Mike was a pleasure to work with. The communication was always constant and thorough. He was extremely helpful in the planning process. The place looked amazing on the day of the shower and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Frank and Kim were the staff members on during my shower and they were amazing. I wish I had another need to use them for but will definitely use them again when the opportunity presents itself! The food was delicious and everyone at my shower could not stop raving about it. It made my baby shower perfect!

We recently worked with Easy Entertaining for our intimate, backyard elopement and had a wonderful experience! Kaitlyn made the entire process effortless for us. She oversaw food, beverage, and rentals. Her whole team went above and beyond to make us feel so special and cared for. They couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. The food was delicious, and everything went so smoothly. We are so grateful for them and look forward to working with them again soon. Thank you!

I'd like to take a moment and give a shout out to an established local business. Located in the historic Rising Sun Mills on Providence's West side, This gem never disappoints. The staff is always super happy and seems to love what they do, and that certainly reflects on the overall customer experience. The food is always beyond amazing and super creative. With ample off-Street parking, you should certainly go experience what their stars are all about. Oh, and don't leave without a cookie!

If possible this establishment would have received zero stars. A couple of us walked in and were promptly ignored for ten minutes by the server. Upon approaching him at the register to ask a question, the server rudely spoke over my sister before she even got the question out. He continued to be gruff when my sister tried to clarify what she was asking, until finally our whole group who could hear his aggressive condescension across the room, got up and decided to leave. I'm not sure who owns this cafe' but that employee is not who you want representing you to the public.

The Cafe was the perfect setting for our graduation/reunion gathering of almost 50 - there was even room for a DJ and dancing. Excellent food, very accommodating staff. Thanks to Jayne, Nik, Frank and Courtney for making it a special event.

I have to say, this place is amazing! Next time I am going to bring my computer and sit here for a couple of hours. Highly recommend this place. Very cozy!

My husband and I had a weekend getaway any he selected Providence as our place to visit so I went onto to Facebook events to see what's happening during Mother's Day weekend to plan for activities for us to do. We were on a time crunch for Sunday morning since we had to leave enough time to drive back to Boston for our flight home. The Mother's Day brunch pop up for this location at an earlier time than most of the Mother's Day brick that was happening around town so I contacted Nik and got us a reservation for the 9am seating. The place was semi easy to find since we are not locals. It was nice that they have a private lot for parking. The space is intimate for an event venue. The brunch had a nice spread and not sure if they've done such brunches before because it was a little disarray in that the food was not fully arranged and serving ware not placed in their proper place before guests started to get their food. There were no directions or information to let guests know what is expected such as do we wait for all the guests to arrive before starting the line and the manager should have gone around the buffet to make sure everything is in order before letting the guests come up to get their food. The omelette bar was a nice touch but a little disorganized. This was a buffet and we weren't sure if we should be using the same plate multiple times up the line. The serving plate could be a little larger. The food was good. I really like the pancakes with the blueberry sauce and the smoked salmon. I was too full to try the desserts. I didn't try the quiche and had an omelet made to order. I didn't care for the sweetness of the caramelized onions in the omelette. Wish that there was some sauce to put on the omelette. I was a little disappoint that the orange juice was not fresh squeezed since it has the concept of farm to table. Overall, service was attentive and would give it 3.5 stars and like that there's a deal on Yelp.

This place is marvelous! I stopped in today for the first time while working at Sprout right next door. I was actually shocked with how friendly the workers were when I walked in. I'm used to being in Boston and I think maybe I need to explore more of the Providence area! I was immediately seated and ordered the chipotle turkey sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was so tasty and the fries with the homemade aioli and ketchup was delicious! This place is definitely a hidden gem. I'll be coming back if I'm ever in the area again.
I would have to say one of my favorite places in RI. They do have limited hours due to being a carting business however, when they are open all I have to say is OMG! The food is always fresh and clean. I love the staff and the customer service I receive when I go. I also have been working with the crew for my wedding and I must say they are very responsive and helpful. The business owner Katie is amazing and always ready to assist along with her staff. If you ever have a carting event you will not be displeased with the not only the service but also the food! How can you go wrong with both plus?

A very nice venue with wonderful food and a really accommodating staff. We had our annual group function and everyone looks forward to it every year.

I am from out of town and randomly picked this cafe for lunch and to work for a few hours between meetings. I'm so glad I did. I would come here often if I lived nearby. The food, service, and atmosphere is great. Parking is on site and easy.

These people were a pleasure to work with. I hosted a surprise party for about 20 people. From my first phone call to the day of the party this was a breeze. Kelcey was so helpful in the planning stage. Shea was great doing cooking and prepping in my home. And Frank was an amazing server. All my friends wanted to take him home. When I have another party these guys will be my first call. PS the food was fabulous!

Easy Entertaining is a hidden gem. I had driven past this restaurant various times, but never stopped in because I thought it was catering only. I went to lunch with work friends for an event, and I was very impressed by the food. Since then, i have been in about 3 other times. I've had the chicken salad sandwich, Turkey blt, and blt. Chicolate chip cookies are amazing! My only complaint would be that it's a little pricey. Adding avocado to a sandwich is an additional $3.
