I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present. I love myself a good pastry and GOD, was Groundswell’s pastries good. On this warm and stunning spring day in May, we chose outside. You can sit inside or choose to sit on the wrap around porch. The scents of new cedar shingles and freshly mowed hay overlapped with the scent of warm croissants while French café’ music wafted through the air. Think quiche Lorraine, almond croissants and baguettes, lattes, and more made from scratch using ingredients all sourced by local markets and farms. White General Store from circa 1750, the café embodies the old retro vibe with hints of French influence. We enjoyed an AMAZING breakfast at Groundswell Cafe + Garden. It made the list because of its shaker-style building, some new and other old, dating back to the 18th century. It’s rich in history and listed on the National Register for Historic Places. It’s a countryside coastal region in Rhode Island with a small number of businesses, art galleries, antique stores, and farms. Tiverton Four Corners is a quaint, functioning New England village with historic charm. The next morning we hopped on our bikes and headed to Tiverton Four Corners historic district.
