Little Falls Bakery and Café

by Josh Wood Monday July 21, 2008

Little Falls is a well-placed dot between two segments of line. One line that connects home to the café‘s counter, and another that connects the café‘s counter to the farmers’ market. The market and café are about a block apart. It’s extreme shopping – buying boxes of blueberries and bunches of kohlrabi hopped up on Columbian caffeine and cinnamon chip scones.

Inside the café, the falls of the Pawtuxet are replicated by a semi-circle of carafes. They provide little falls of black coffee without the fish. Unfortunately it’s difficult to operate all the carafes simultaneously to get a true waterfall effect. There’s a respectable selection of about a dozen types of coffee from which to choose your awakening. Flaky croissants and cushions of scones, baked at the café, are displayed in neat rows.

If securing the last bag of home-rolled nihm chow at the market isn’t important, then you could stick around at the café. There’s usually art on the walls, and you can tell the café serves as a kind of neighborhood nexus. That, combined with the light-friendly facade and the two outside tables, makes it linger-worthy. Little Falls is close to the actual falls in walkable Pawtuxet Village, so the eastern variety of Cranstonite is generally meandering about on Broad Street blinking in the hazy mid-morning sun. http://www.littlefallscafe.com
