There's A New-ish Cafe In Tiverton And It Is Terrific

Snow or not (hey it is February in RI after all) this cafe and bakery at Tiverton Four Corners is a must frequent this month. Today, I’m looking back at one of the most anticipated eatery openings from last fall.

If you go anywhere this week, I beg you to make it the new Groundswell Cafe & Bakery in Tiverton, at the historic Four Corners, across from the famous Gray's Ice Cream shop.

We were there for the grand opening last Fall and it really was wonderful — and like nowhere else I’ve come across in Rhode Island during the last 5+ years that I’ve been lifestyle blogging.

Quite honestly it looks and feels like an enchanting cafe or coffee house that you might find in a stylish enclave in upstate New York, Kennebunkport, or a coastal town in nearby Massachusetts.

It’s a completely fantastic blend of historical and updated, combining chic with comfy: From the wraparound porch, which fits in nicely with my open air dining plan right now, and the rest of the small town frontage to the sleek yet still warm and cozy interior, you will be wowed.

Then there is the menu. Whether you’re craving a coffee drink, a tea or a hot chocolate this winter, they’ve got you.

In addition, their selection of baked goods is pretty darn impressive. All sorts of croissants. Italian doughnuts. Cupcakes. You name it!

We have had hot drinks, sweets, and salads (been back for lunch several times) and I just wanna say everything was five star worthy. They even had oat milk for my hot chocolate, another big plus in my book.

Let me just say that lunch there on any given day would be dreamy!

They also have a garden shop across the way and Martha Stewart, I think, would be a fan! In other words, you will want to pop in before hitting the road.

PS - I did a little shopping there over the holidays and found some swell gifts.
