Tumblesalts
1 Sweet St, North Providence, RI
Crema's Take
“Tumblesalts feels less like a coffee shop and more like a cherished neighbor's home, where regulars keep coming back for the unhurried atmosphere and genuinely attentive staff who remember what you love to order. Beyond traditional coffee drinks, they've built a loyal following around their full breakfast menu—think cinnamon apple waffles and fresh pastries—making it the kind of cozy spot where you'll want to linger over your cup rather than rush out the door. It's the rare place that consistently earns praise for nailing both the food and that intangible warmth that keeps people calling it a hidden gem.”

Honestly if you want a place that will leave a lasting memory this is the place. Made reservations to have a nice peaceful dinner and this place was recommended to me. Upon entering another couple had already made a complaint about where they where seated and the hostess looked at my girlfriend and I and found our table and proceeded to swap our seating with someone else which was no problem at first then we saw why the other couple wanted to switch. The tables were practically less than a foot apart and we kept getting bumped into. The first red flag was the table next to us had problems with their food being cooked wrong and things forgotten. We waited so long to get our drinks and the beer i ordered was warm. Then we finally got to order and We ordered the steak tips off the normal menu and the filet off the specials menu. The steak tips had zero flavor and felt like I was eating a tire. We finished eating then the poor kid with the dessert tray came around and didn’t know what a single thing on the tray was besides different variants of cake. This obviously wasn’t his fault but it seemed like they just tossed him on the task and said good luck but he was trying his best. And even after going to many tables he still had the same issue so no one helped him from his own work place, very disappointing to see. If want to see anything else they have in their cafe dessert case good luck knowing what any of it is because they have no dessert menu and everyone forgot about the other options on the specialty menu. Overall this was a horrible experience and honestly ruined my night and let my expectations down. Would not recommend this place
Eaten here quite a few times, and have always had great service and food. Brad over at the pizza station is definitely the best, because he always makes sure to pay attention to what you’re asking for, and is quick to make things right if something is off. Would recommend anybody to go check this place out as they have multiple different buildings and they all have been the best anytime I have gone by.
Fun restaurant. Felt like you were in a home. The food was delicious. I got the cinnamon apple waffles and added some eggs on the side while my friend got the breakfast combo. I can't recommend the cinnamon apples enough, it hit the spot and the fruit cup wasn't just cantaloupe- they added strawberries, blueberries, apple slices and orange slice.
Disappointed in myself for living so close to this GEM of a place and not checking in out... And quiet frankly shocked it doesn't have a 5⭐ rating?? What do people want, maybe to be spoon fed and burped?? I mean the bathroom has a chandelier in it!! Excellent atmosphere, service and the best lasagna & gluten free pizza I've had around these parts. Inside variety seating for whatever mood you're in and romantic or family seating outside. Tumblesalts is one of the most beautiful restaurants I've been in and every staff member I engaged with was so welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be back here for breakfast and maybe a slice of dessert I was too full to have the first time ⭐
Tumblesalts is a hidden gem! This cozy pub tavern has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with just the right mix of rustic charm and comfort. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Now, let’s talk about the food—specifically the chicken parm. It’s absolutely delicious! Perfectly breaded and crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and smothered in rich marinara with just the right amount of melted cheese. It’s clear they take pride in their cooking, and it shows. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual dinner or a few drinks with friends, Tumblesalts delivers every time. Highly recommend!
