Great food wondering about service - Edit
Just arrived 45 mins before they closed and open sign was on. Door locked and someone cleaning up. This will affect my patronage in the future here.

Would try again - Edit
Interesting menu. I thought the food was better than average, but took a bit to come out and the portions were smaller than I expected. That said, it’s a nice place and I like supporting an all vegan establishment so I’ll be back.

Good if you have all day to wait for a small portion - Edit
Took a million years to get the food we ordered and while yes, it was good enough, the portions were so small we ended up eating elsewhere just to fill up.

Average at best - Edit
This place is alright. Diner style eats with subpar coffee/matcha. In a pinch, it will get the job done but don’t expect to be wowed.

Great food, great vibes! - Edit
Ordered online on my way from Providence to Boston. Perfect corner cafe with lots of parking around. Staff was so incredibly nice and added to the great vibes. Got a bagel and smoothie, both were delicious!!

Best breakfast sandwich that didn't come from our kitchen - Edit
I was back in town to visit family. During my stay in Attleboro and Pawtucket I was looking for a good vegan breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised I didn't have to go to Providence.
Read moreI ordered the Fuego sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Both had amazing flavor, and while the price sounds a tad high, it's not out of range for a breakfast of its magnitude.
The Fuego has the right level of heat. The burrito is stuffed with fresh ingredients and toasted nicely for a crisp bit.
Only word of advice for both foods.
Don't try to eat the burrito while driving. It's huge, and the combination of ingredients make for a bite that demands sitting over a plate.
The Fuego on a bagel is a great sandwich, but the hole in the bagel makes it somewhat messy. I dismantled it a bit during eating. Sitting at a table with a fork and knife is the better approach for this meal.
A ciabatta would be a perfect vehicle for transferring this from foil to face.
Yea, I at 'em both for breakfast. I am how fat vegans are forged.
I had do walk down Dexter Street a few hundred yards. Like most places in the area, parking can be a challenge. But I'll face the challenge for this food.
Pros: Food was delicious , Value was good, Conveniently located
Cons: Street parking, Coffee prices are a bit too high for my liking

My favorite drink here is the cinnamon date protein latte 😍 so yummy! We got the Fuego breakfast sandwich on a spinach bagel which was delicious, and a special - peaches n cream waffle. Very tasty!

Solid brunch and coffee shop! - Edit
Stopped by for a light bite before a run maybe an hour before close. Ordered the sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit since the english muffins were sold out. It was a pretty big and filling sandwich. The biscuit was delicious, a bit salty and buttery. Inside nice and melty cheese, vegan egg fold and a thin sausage patty. Every component delicious but the biscuit was a bit oversized for the filling / too much bread to filling ratio. I think next time I would get a wrap or try to get the english muffin again. Overall solid and very cute cafe! Would definitely stop by again if in the area.

Great breakfast/brunch spot - Edit
This cute café has tons of tasty breakfast/brunch options, albeit a bit pricey. They were good about safely accommodating for tree nut allergies.
Read moreWe really liked the banana waffles (5/5⭐️) and the sausage egg and cheese on an Everything bagel (4.5/5⭐️). I would just suggest choosing another bagel flavor as the “Everything” overpowered the other tastes. The hash browns were just OK (3/5⭐️). The peanut butter chocolate specialty latte was tasty but too subtle (4/5⭐️).
The Sunday breakfast options looked really appealing. I wish some of those were on their regular menu.

Pros: Lots of sweet & savory breakfast options, Cute, artsy vibe

Great breakfast! - Edit
We stopped by for breakfast while we were in town for Vegfest, and Apothica did not disappoint! It’s such a cute space, and they have a great breakfast selection. I ordered the OG omelet, and it was the best vegan omelet I’ve had in a long time, maybe ever! It was such a treat to find a good vegan breakfast. Coffees were great, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely visit again!

Delicious - Edit
Apothica is incredible. Their food and drinks are to die for.
Read moreIt was my first time seeing vegan eggs benedict and I had to have it. The "yolk" bursts just like a traditional poached egg. The hollandaise is heavy on the dill, which I personally love.
Unfortunately, their portions are tinyyy and it's expensive on top of it.
Two of my friends ordered the same drink (iced banana split latte) and received completely different tasting drinks, so the consistency is a little off.
While the interior is adorable, it has very few seating options and seems to be better to grab and go.
It was probably an off day, but the staff was really unfriendly and didn't seem like they wanted to take our order.
Still, 100/10 recommend.
Pros: Great coffee, Unique vegan offerings
Cons: Pricey, Small portions

Great food, drinks, and dessert - Edit
Loved the chorizo crunchwrap, blueberry mint matcha on ice, and the matcha birthday cake donut for dessert. Definitely would be interested in trying more of the food, and I'm sad I don't live closer.

Super Impressed - Edit
I am admittedly very hard to please, hyper critical and often feel disappointment when dining out at the lack of flavor or effort put forth by an establishment. This place though....!! What a gem 💎 Very nice atmosphere with great ambience, friendly knowledgable staff, perfectly thought out menu with beautiful presentation. Just a great experience overall.
Read moreI ordered a Fiesta Sandwich and when I received it I immediately noticed that the bagel had everything seasoning ON BOTH SIDES!! Why don't more people do this ?!?! Not only that, but those seasonings actually stuck to the bagel and were not overly salty... just the perfect amount of flavor in every single bite. My BF got a crunch wrap which came standard on a GF wrap... I was very impressed with the bite he let me take.. sooo good, flavors on point, and I have tried to use GF wraps before and making them do what you want them to with out ripping is some sort of sorcery that deserves an award. Our beverages were wonderful as well and although we are only visiting for a couple days WE WILL BE BACK! Heck, I might even drive the 3 1/2 hours to come get that bagel sandwich again in the future.
I only want to make a small mention that the iced chai is underwhelming in flavor. I ordered 2 beverages and the Lavender milk tea was amazing.
Pros: Great tasting food and drink, Lovely ambience, Great value
Cons: It is 3 1/2 hours from my home.

Vegan and Gf Heaven! - Edit
This is my favorite place in RI! The first time we went my kids (3 under 3) had the bacon quesadilla and egg and cheese sammy and they devoured it. I had a gluten free breakfast wrap and rose coffee. I have craved the wrap every day since then and order them a lot! The rose coffee and lavender lemonade are delish!
Read moreI’ve gone back for their gf bagel and the tapenade cream cheese is incredible. Desserts are top notch and the staff is always welcoming!

Apothica is SO GOOD. I have allergies so it can be hard to find food at a lot of vegan places and the staff here were so accommodating and helpful. Not to mention the food and coffee was spectacular. I got the breakfast burrito and a lavender latte with oat milk. Truly 10/10.
