Crema's Take

Caffe Bon Ami is a cash-only neighborhood gem where owner Malcolm runs a genuinely coffee-focused operation, taking the time to brew each cup—whether espresso or pour over—using proper technique rather than rushing. The vibe is unhurried and welcoming, with crepes and a loyal following of regulars who come for both the exceptional coffee and Malcolm's warm, no-nonsense hospitality that makes you feel like you've found a real community spot.

I grew up in this neighborhood and just went for the first time on NYE. Amazing coffee and Oatmilk! Most of all, great service. Malcolm says it how it is, knows his stuff, you can tell he knows his usual customers, and takes time to chat with new ones too. Really enjoyed the coffee and our chat! I now live in NYC, and will def be going back when in town. Because no, they don’t make them like that here!

What a lovely little find! I stopped in and met the owner, he knows his coffee and serves a beautiful product. I didn’t realize this store was cash only and he graciously insisted I have the coffee regardless. The cafe is quaint and cozy and I can tell it’s frequented by locals. It was a very nice experience.

Best coffee in New England! Malcom knows the deal! He’s one of the only coffee shops around that actually takes the time to brew coffee the way it was intended! Using authentic methods of brewing Malcom out real passion and love into his coffee and food! Most shops around don’t put as much effort into their business as this guy does. I had the best iced cappuccino here! I’ve made so many attempts to find a good coffee and have failed! Come to Caffe-Bon-Ami, you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic service and food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Mal will make sure you are satisfied with your order. Highly recommend the crepes (sweet or salty) be warned there will be a wait but its well worth it, it's busy for a reason. They also have a great variety of coffee that will keep you coming back for more.

Instant love for this place!! A must visit!!! The gentlman (master barista) that owns this cafe has the up most charismatic personality and so welcoming he makes you feel like home. This gent knows his products and he makes delicious coffee! I ordered the mocha latte and it's the best i have ever had! The perfectionist balance of chocate, expresso, milk, and hint of cherry/cinnamon flavor! WOW! Will definitely come back when I'm in RI again. Thank you again!
