After 6 years and two coffeeshops, we present to you our first full service restaurant. Kaffeology in Cranston is a unique restaurant offering elevated brunch plates, cocktails, and mainplates for dinner. Our focus is on fresh, quality ingredients which is why we pride ourselves on being a scratch kitchen. Every dish is carefully prepared and made to order just for you. Inspired architecturally by Sedona Arizona, the interior of the space transports you out of Rhode Island and into a plant filled, desert oasis. Our brunch is served every day until 4pm with dishes such as our famous creme brulee French toast, chimichurri skirt steak platter, fried chicken eggs benny, or lemon blueberry pancakes. Our coffee is organic, single origin, and freshly roasted in Boston! The creme brulee latte and brown sugar rosemary, among many others, are made with carefully crafted syrups made in house. At night the cafe transforms into a dinner restaurant but some brunch options are still available!

    The Pepperoncini Martini was so different, and I think I like it better than a Dirty Martini. We started with the Farm Fresh salad, with a champagne vinaigrette, followed by our meal. I had the Wagyu Bolognese on fresh fettuccini, which I thought was fabulous. My friend had a Striped Bass special over risotto, which was also fabulous. We finished the night with a Pumpkin and White chocolate Creme Brulee, with a side of caramel popcorn. This sounds like a weird combination, but it totally worked! The size of the brulee was perfect, too.

    We enjoyed a delicious meal and outstanding service. Loved the scallops a la plancha, the salad special with baby octopus and braised short ribs with roasted veggies. We'll be back!

    Interesting place. Sort of young vibe, but food was wonderful, delicious drinks, courteous stuff, pleasant interior. Music was a touch on a loud side, but for the most part not annoying. One of the rare places that is fun and delicious. Would love for them to invest in cappuccino machine…

    The service was great! The facility and ambiance was very nice for our Valentines Day outing and anniversary celebration! All of the employees were welcoming and accommodating! The general manager was extremely nice and checked on us often throughout the night. The live music added the perfect touch! I thoroughly enjoyed the band and would love to see them perform again! We weren’t that impressed with the options on the V Day menu but we ordered the ahi tartare and it was very delicious! We will definitely be returning to try out the full menu!
