Truth be told I have had my eye on Little Sister on Hope Street in PVD (from the same folks who, I believe, brought us Rebelle Artisan Bagels) for a while.

Every single time we motored over on the weekends, though, the lines to get in were…

Out the door and down the darn street !!!

On a recent Friday afternoon, my great friend K.G. and I were fortunate enough to breeze in before 2pm, give our order to someone at the counter, and then (whew) secure a bistro table in front of the windows.

I mean, THAT was months in the making.

Now, after having had an actual sit-down meal there, I can and will say that the buzz and the wait are rooted in five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ food and beverages.

Also, side bar, check out that PERFECT latte heart below.

For the record, the whole entire space is completely adorable, too, and tailor made for IG-ing or your social app of choice right now. (It reminds me of somewhere you might stumble upon in Allston-Brighton in Bean Town).

Karen had an empanada and I had the shakshouka (poached eggs in a spicy red sauce served up in black cast-iron skillet) and we split a chocolate croissant. (See my empty plates below, bah haaaaaa.)

We’re talking carefully prepared — using tippity top quality ingredients — pastries, sandwiches, salads, coffee drinks, daily specials, and more.

You can even get wine, beer or a mimosa if you’re in the mood.

You guys, this place will spoil you if you’re used to grabbing coffee or tea and a croissant or sammy from a national chain shop.

Find Little Sister at 737a Hope Street in Providence, Rhode Island.
