Groundswell Cafe + Bakery

5 glowing stars! And I mean glowing! Our visit was during the 2023 Brown graduation and the drive from Providence is well worth it!
It was busy when we visited on our picture-perfect sunny Saturday morning, yet we had a choice of seating that is well placed throughout the grounds.
Friendly staff upon arrival and the owners were spotted on our visit and involved in the details of what looked to be a bustling Saturday.
After our delectable cafe breakfast which started off with tasty bakery goods ;) we visited the exquisite shop with a tasteful variety of wares and also the nursery. If we had not had such an early start planned for the Sunday graduation day....we would have gone back to Groundswell for another go...and to-go some of those pastries as well!
Such a pleasant and satisfying experience all around.
An easy and well-earned highly recommend!

Very cute spot, stopped in after taking an outdoor yoga class. Incredible pastries, good lunch options and full coffee menu (add nitro please!). Beautiful patio and seating areas outside. Friendly staff. Four corners has shops to walk around while enjoying your coffee. Will definitely return!

One of my favorite cafes/bakeries in Rhode Island! The decor is beautiful, and the food and drinks are high quality! There is also a nice gift shop and cute antique store right next to that you can visit after!

I like this destination. Plenty of outside seating out back, fire pits going today. Looking forward to their next venture. I had scrambled eggs added to my Croque Monsieur. Perfectly prepared cappuccino. We love that the owner is out front. This food is made with love.

Delicious turkey panini! Ham and rosemary scone!
Mother's day stroll through Tiverton Four Corners. Outside casual dining, and all the shops. Dessert was delectable! Try the teacakes!

Cute cafe with plenty of outdoor seating and dedicated parking. They may need to consider adding more umbrellas as a lot of tables are in the sun and cannot be used on hot days. Friendly staff and efficient service. House blend coffee was just okay but everyone in our party enjoyed the food (we got 4 different sandwiches and quiche).

What a lovely place!!seating is available outside or inside and you order at the counter and the food is brought to your table.

The pastries were amazing. We had avocado toast with scrambled egg and bacon and a brioche fruit tart that was picture perfect and delicious.
You can visit the shop across the street for great gift ideas and to buy the fabulous smelling handsoap they use in the bathroom.

This elegant coffee shop, replete with Victorian manners and flavored with jazz, is what Starbucks aspires to be.

Beautifully designed and excellent pastries. Love everything about it except for two things:
1.) they try to control the things you can do there. Like using electronic devices. This takes away from the feeling of the coffee house. Maybe it is an effort to increase profits. Not sure. It’s a charming experience but we can’t deny the time in which we live.

2: much too expensive. . :$12.50 for tea and pastry. Never have seen $7 pastry before.
Their prices are more than double any other coffee shop. Maybe a way to make sure only the rich people of little Compton can attend. You wouldn’t have wanted to have any riffraff around they can’t spend nearly $13 for tea and a pastry.

A stunning space, sublime pastries, out-of-this-world coffee. The outdoor seating areas are wonderfully designed with space for kids to run around in grassy areas.
