Cafe International
675 Oaklawn Ave, Cranston, RI
Crema's Take
“This Cranston institution strikes a genuine balance between serious coffee craftsmanship and unpretentious neighborhood gathering place, with an impressive range of traditional and specialty drinks that clearly resonates with its loyal following. Beyond the coffee, their fresh bagels—especially creative combinations like cheddar with jalapeño cream cheese—and full breakfast menu make it equally appealing for lingering conversations or quick morning fuel, and the spacious parking lot plus reliable holiday hours add to its role as a dependable community anchor.”

Cafe International is a great local spot with an extensive coffee selection—there’s truly something for every coffee lover, from classic brews to specialty drinks. The lox and bagel is a standout: fresh, flavorful, and generously prepared. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for breakfast or a casual coffee stop. Overall, a solid choice that I’d definitely return to.
This is usually our favorite place to go to for our bagel sandwiches. But for a couple months it’s been iffy. Now today we were charged $20 for 2 untoasted bagel sandwiches. That’s seems extreme overpriced for breakfast sandwiches that come with nothing else. We ate because we were starving but not the best experience
✨ Cafè International is a must-visit! ✨ The coffee was absolutely amazing — rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The vibe is so warm and welcoming, and everyone we met was incredibly kind. We got to chat with the owner and her daughter, and they were both so sweet and genuine. You can really feel the love they put into the place. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! ❤️
They are open early during almost every holiday which is nice. Open Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Big parking lot. Plenty of seats inside. They have a standard chai mix here like most places serve. Was ready fast. No complaints :)
It was labor day and many places were closed which led us to this cafe. The bagels were so fresh and delicious. I got cheddar with jalapeño creame cheese and it was spicy and filling. We all enjoyed our bagels and drinks. They were so kind and nice. It feels like a family run place but there is so much seating. Wish I got more bagels to take home. Even their coffee cups were aesthetic and they gave me a bit of milk for my toddler.
