    Arrived late Friday evening and greeted by extremely rude hostess with an attitude. Several tables were open or unbussed but still we're told a 25 minute wait. Threatening customers by asking "Do you want me to call the manager?" when asked some basic questions about seating options should never be used with any customer. Demonstrates staff is poorly trained or unqualified to interact with public. Apparently the staff didn't want to serve new customers at 10:30 Friday night. Just a hint, close the door or put up your "Closed" sign. Many other options in Providence to choose from that likely would appreciate your business.

    Had a food fights coupon for free iced coffee so I stopped in. The place is an older setting but very cute. Was a little confused going in because I was getting the coffee to go and the sign says to wait to be seated but if you go into the room on the left that is where you can get food to go. The coffee was good, nothing amazing just basic iced coffee but I did pick up 6 cupcakes as well. I thought they were a little pricey at $2.75 each as they are not as big as a cupcake you would get in a bakery. The reviews of the cupcakes: Carrot cake (both people said it was AMAZING!) Red Velvet-Delicious! Chocolate Peanut Butter (both people said it was ok and lacked peanut butter), Banana Nutella-the biggest cupcake there size wise, was basically banana bread with an amazing frosting--well worth it!! These reviews are from my co-workers that I brought it back for but overall I would say they were impressed just don't chose the Peanut Butter cupcake. They have their daily cupcakes on their menu online but they also have some special cupcakes each day.

    Hopping down that rabbit hole to find a Portuguese style French toasted Monte Cristo and fluffy crepes. Duck & Bunny embodies the definition of adorable. I love how the place feels like you're entering a house rather than a cafe or restaurant. The service is pretty slow here, the food took a long time to come and even longer for the check. Perhaps have more servers? But I must say good food takes time and their food was delicious! The monte cristo was somewhat sinful. It was a French toast sandwich filled with Swiss cheese and ham and turkey, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with powder sugar. Both flavors of sweet and savory collided and created a bomb in my mouth, my tongue had succumb to the cheesy goodness. You could tell it was good cheese and it was melted perfectly when it gets stringy from being torn apart. The Thomas Henry wasn't as powerful compared to the Monte Cristo. It was a bit submissive and passive but all in a good way. I guess it makes my meal more balanced between a ying and yang. The bacon, scrambled egg and cheese continues to embody the fluffiness of the crepe. The texture is more of a winner rather than the taste. I highly recommend the monte cristo if you feel like splurging your calorie intake, it's worth your while. The wait long and service isn't the best but I suppose the food makes me willing to overlook it. Highly recommend for brunch or high tea.

    This restaurant looks like it came out of Mary Poppins! Everything about it is adorably British. Whether it's the decadent chandeliers, the intricately designed seating, or the super swirly cupcakes, this place is quite the tea parlor. If you're given the option, make sure you sit outside! There is an easy to miss dining area in the back patio that has an incredible ambiance (especially at night). And don't even start with the food! I had the banana foster sundae upon recommendation of the waitress and it was incredible! Three scoops of vanilla ice cream with drizzled caramel, candied walnuts, bananas and fruit compote, all on top of a warm crepe! CAUTION: only for those with serious sweet tooth (like me). A great place for a second date. Service was fast and our waitress was super friendly. Will definitely be returning.

    I am by no means a normal wickenden street peruser, so I didn't know what to expect when coming in this morning for brunch at the duck and bunny. What I can say is that I was very impressed and happily surprised by this hidden gem. As the first stop on the RI food fights coffee throw down (and the reason for creating a yelp account), my girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience. First things first, if you are coming here for Brunch, get here early as the seating is limited and it could be a long wait if you don't get in at the right time. Second, when you enter the front door, just walk straight ahead into the snuggery, there is a staircase going up to an unknown region, don't go there (rookie mistake). Now to comment on the fun part. The atmosphere is wonderful, for those loving old style and artistic deco this is a great venue. Seating as I said is a bit cramped, but with the limited space duck and bunny does a lot. The wait staff were great as well. Normally I am accustomed to semi-meh service with semi-meh servers, but our waitress, whom I wish I remembered her name was great. She was super friendly, and awesome at providing good suggestions. Another thing to note, all the main waitresses have old fashioned garb which is really entertaining as well. As their website stated, its like taking a step into a carefree past. Now onto the meal! We really only came for the ice coffee, but ended up staying for several other items because the menu looked really interesting. The ice coffee's themselves were decent with a full barista bar making everything there for you. Specialty teas, coffees, cocktails, all made by some more friendly people and a fellow with a purple beard! The lady love ordered the sweet baby James crepes, which is one of the many crepes the duck and bunny offers. The strawberries tasted fresh and sweet without the soggy sugary syrup that normally accompanies breakfast, which was a nice change of pace. The cream inside was sweet and soft, and was definitely a great addition to the crepe dish. I myself ordered the truffle home fries, which I recommend buying whole heartedly as a dish to pick at and share. The best way for me to describe them would be more like roasted potatoes then normal breakfast home fries. They were tossed slightly in oil, with a sour cream drizzle and scallions on top. Even my girlfriend whom doesn't like scallions thought they were great. As a finale to the meal we took two cupcakes to go, which came in little take our Chinese boxes, which my girlfriend found to be really cute. She had the red velvet and I had the nutella Banana. Both were great, light enough to not feel terrible about eating but sweet enough to satisfy that sweet tooth craving. Overall, the experience was great and we will definitely be coming back again, specifically to have some cocktails and to try some other meals that looked good as the waitresses were walking by. It's worth checking out if for nothing more for the decor and wonderful people. Came for the coffee, stayed for the cupcakes.

    Sooooo good! I've tried a couple of the cupcakes, the Mazzy Star (GREAT), Truffled Pomme Frites (good), and the Tuscan Crepzza (good). Definitely, DEFINITELY get the Mazzy Star! I didn't think a crepe could be jazzed up to this level until I tried this beaut. They have a selection of cupcakes where every second one sounds phenomenal. One night, they only had one last cupcake left (it was a blueberry lemon sweet bread) and the waitress gave it to me for no charge. The red velvet cupcake is amazing! Service is good. I don't know what a snuggery is, but this place definitely feels cozy and is a good place to unwind after a long day. Can't wait to be back!

    The Duck and Bunny is the perfect place to go for an after date dessert and drink or just to grab some delicious coffee. It is not a place to go if you are very hungry. They don't have a very filling menu, it's more of a place to grab a snack or light lunch. I loved the classic style of Duck and Bunny with its narrow entry way, aged hardwood floors, large chandeliers hanging from the low ceiling, and even there waiting area with two large leather chairs and with a white leather love seat as well. Duck and Bunny looks as if they took an old house in the Providence area and turned it into a tea room. This was my second time coming here because it has the best latte I've ever had in my life. I got the caramel latte and my girlfriend ordered the mocha latte. As it was before, it was perfect. There was even a heart drawn into my foam. After finishing the lattes I wanted to try something new on the drink menu so we decided to get a Guinness float which has their homemade vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and we added two espresso shots to it as well. It was very tasty and all the flavors worked perfectly together. At the end of the date, our waitress presented us with four free cupcakes because they had extra ones and they were going to be closed for a week for renovations. We were ecstatic because the cupcakes at Duck and Bunny are outstanding and so flavorful. Duck and Bunny has two areas for sitting. One room includes a couple tables and I dislike this room because everyone's conversation around you sounds so much louder and it's hard to hear. The other room is much more cozy and quaint. It includes a wrap around booth like seating and seating near the bar. Also there is a fire place and it just gives you the feeling of being at home and it makes for a very comforting and relaxing experience.

    What a cute little place. I've avoided it after looking at their menu and prices online, but I came in for a quick coffee and fell in love with the joint. The barista was super nice. They didn't have decaf, so she offered me an Americano with decaf espresso. Just perfect. Folks were super nice and the vibe is very chill. I'll actually come back for brunch at some point, just from this experience! Service is everything :-)

    Have been wanting to come here for a while and when the opportunity came up, I joined some friends for brunch yesterday. Known as a snuggery - and boy it sure was snug! There were 7 of us and it felt very tight as the place was packed. We sat inside vs outside. Cute little place, made me feel like I was having tea and crumpets, lol. Coffee was good and constantly refilled. I had a cranberry mimosa which was very good! For brunch I had the Creperito (brown rice, black beans, onions, cheddar and spinach - I added an egg into it for an additional $1) based on my friend's suggestion. I was between that or the Mazzy Star (portobello mushroom, fontina cheese, rosemary and truffle oil) which my other gf ended up getting and damn it, I should've too! It was sooooo good. My Creperito was just ok - if there weren't any sour cream and salsa, it would've been extremely bland for my taste. I was expecting the brown rice to have some flavor to it. We got a selection of cupcakes for desserts - I only took a small bite of the carrot cake one and it was good. Everyone else raved about the chocolate raspberry. I'll have to buy some for take home next time. Our waiter, Josh was very nice and attentive. He even offered to come outside and take a picture of our group after we finished our meal! I would love to come back and try other items on the menu as it seems very eclectic.

    Went there with some friends to try their famous cupcakes. There was a large selection of them. So, the 5 of us decided to share a few... We got the Honey Lavender, the Chocolate and the Portuguese Sweet bread.... We all agreed that the Sweet Bread cupcake was just DELICIOUS !! They had warmed it up before plating and it was just the right amount of sweetness, moistness and consistency. I was in Heaven!! I would go back and get a dozen of those and just pig out.... :-) I have not tried anything else, but it's on my list to come for breakfast and other desserts. The decor is chic and comfy....Like a nice old colonial home that has opened its doors for the masses !! The waitstaff at the counter was ok....not overly warm, not overly friendly, but just OK...

    Very cute place but there's no privacy whatsoever, tables are too bunched together. I greeted one of the waitresses and was ignored- she literally looked at me after I said hello and turned around. The windows were dusty and I walked out since they were taking an eternity and I didn't like the way I was being treated. I didn't try their food so I can't critique it, might give it another chance but I would rather take food on the go than eat inside- I wouldn't pay to be mistreated.

    This was my second visit today. The first time I went, last winter, the service was ok and the food was good. This time the food was awful and the service was worse. I had the snuggery cakes and they were incredibly bland. I've had better at ihop, for God's sake. My boyfriends fruit plate was small and the blueberry were past ripe, while the kiwis were sour and hard. We were there for 2 hours because the service was so slow. Pretty unimpressed.

    I have been here for tea and brunch with VASTLY better service so I feel good about updating this to four stars. The tea was excellent. Delightful sandwiches, wonderful sweets. The Portuguese sweetbread french toast was delicious, definitely recommend getting this.

    D&B is a must go if you are new to the area, visiting, or have never ventured to Fox Point. Wonderful atmosphere, cool decour, vibrant and sunny, and delusious food for good prices. What more can you ask for? Highlights from the Menu: Any of the Crepizzas: My personal favorite is the Roasted Tomato & Pesto Any of the Creeps: Fully loaded, definitely not for the light of stomach, flavorful. Truffle Fries: Seasoned just right, not over salted, plenty of wonderful cheese and truffle flavor. PB&B Full Elvis: This thing is everything you want for an afternoon Snack, Breakfast, or Dinner. Trust me. It's killer. The Tower: Comes with a wondeful selection of fresh made scones, sandwiches, and cupcakes stacked on 3 layers accompanied by Tea, Jams and Jellies Any Teas or Hot Chocolate: Giant, Fresh cups. Not a huge fan of the cupcakes here though, going to be honest. Something is off about them to me, but that's just personal taste. Best time to go: Early dinner or Breakfast. Service tends to suffer later at night. They get a bit inattentive

    Pros: Cute, hipster Cons: Long wait, sub par food, rude waiters Maybe I just had a bad experience, but I did not have a good time eating at the Duck & Bunny. For starters, the place is always packed and there aren't enough seats to accommodate everyone waiting for a table. Secondly, I went by myself, so I decided to sit at the bar. I waited an hour for a seat at the bar while people were just siting there, long after eating their food and paying their bill. Still, even though the people were annoying, it was the service that really got me. After I had been waiting for about twenty minutes, the host started a list for seats at the bar. Never was I informed of such list. Anyway, once there was a spot open at the bar, and I took it, I was told that there was a list and I had to wait until it was my turn. To this, I replied that I had gotten here an hour ago. They let me keep my seat. The guy at the bar was nice, and quite good looking. I ordered a latte, and it was disgusting. It had this grainy texture, and my final sip was just sweet flavoring; it was generally not good. My crepe, the D&B Roll, came out quickly. Too quickly. Like, there was no way it was made to order quickly, which bothered me as it was expensive and I was already pissed off. After eating my crepes, which were nothing to write home about, I got a cupcake, hoping it would make my experience better. It didn't. I got the banana Nutella cupcake, and the frosting was so sweet it gave me a headache, and the cake tasted like nothing. I will say, though, the cupcake case being built into the bar was kind of cool, but it didn't make up for the horrible experience I had. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Woah, for those of you with a sweet tooth, this will be a treat. Tons of fresh and creative cupcakes that rotate daily and a nice selection of crepes. Their coffee drinks are good too!

    I've lived in Providence for over a decade and I had never eaten here. A friend dragged our group here for an early dinner and I have to say I absolutely loved it. The decor is different and beautiful. The food, AMAZING! I loved my salad and the goat cheese on top of it was the freshest and creamiest goat cheese I've ever had. The cucumber lemonade was wonderfully refreshing and perfect. This place is now one of my favorite spots in Providence. We'll be back soon for a mid afternoon tea with cupcakes. P.S. Don't forget to order a flower pot of the truffle pomme frites, they're to die for!

  • Nara H.

    The crepes are really good, but the cup cakes are way over rated. The line up for brunch is crazy on weekends, we waited for an hour to be seated, and waited for at least another half hour for the food. The indoor seating was really crowded, but the patio was nice.

  • Mollie K.

    Great environment for a nice, intimate meal. Went with a friend of mine I hadn't seen in a while for dinner and got a table out back on their lighted patio. The ambience was so cute and inviting, making the great food even more enjoyable. I ordered the creperito and my friend the crepechini (pasta made out of crepe noodles) and both were absolutely fabulous. Only think I found a bit weird was that their "cocktails" are all made with prosecco or wine and they do not have liquor. That being said their drinks were great as is and so were the cupcakes we had for dessert!

  • Tam G.

    Delicious perfection. Best dessert ever. Seriously oh my goodness do i ever love the banana split crepes yum yum yum. The truffle fries are pretty scrumptious too. I love the outdoor patio. They have some organic wines on the menu which is nice to see. They have a tremendous looking menu full of delish crepe dishes. I will definately be returning soon!

  • Theresa R.

    VERY cute little place with great food and interesting atmosphere. We tried the Brie with Fig spread and the Umbrian Creppza which was basically a pizza the two crepes as the crust. So many delicious looking things on the menu. The outdoor seating area was really cute too! Will definitely be back!

  • Joie S.

    This place is so unique and awesome. And, they have a great outdoor patio. I love their drink selection and although I didn't try the food, the menu looked great. We also had a really friendly and attentive server. I was there with a large group and we all had a great time. I highly recommend the backyard patio on a nice day!

  • Heather G.

    This is a really cute spot for a "girls brunch date". The menu has some interesting crepe/cupcake options and everything I ate there was delicious. My only complaints are that the menu is fairly limited and that service is slow. There are just not enough people working there only busy weekends. I would recommend stopping by if you are not in a rush!

    The duck and bunny is one of the sweetest spots in providence, it is a snuggery after all. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. I prefer the fireplace room to have a little more privacy and for the pictures. The bar is the most snug of the rooms, it's usually the most high traffic as well. So be prepared, especially if you are going for Sunday brunch, to be close to your neighbors and to make some new friends! The food is always delicious. This last time I went with the crepe chip nachos, they came with hearty helpings of black beans, guacamole, salsa and cheddar cheese galore! Super good. My friend went traditional with the bananas foster crepe sundae- holy mother load of deliciousness! Most of the time I come here simply to grab some cupcakes to go. There are always new ones to try and never disappoint. I highly recommend duck and bunny to those passing through and to those that haven't yet discovered this treasure. It's quite a treat! Oh! Amazing cocktails as well!

  • Lara A.

    Very cute and cozy place. Seems like a home transformed into a little cafe. Nice for a date. We had the ginger mint green tea which was really nice. We also ordered the strawberry mascarpone crepe with a side of Nutella for extra sweetness :) (FYI the crepe is cold)

    I was compelled to bump my review up a star. For D&B and I it was love at first sight, but I'm pretty sure it's getting serious... I'm going to ask them to raise a dog and move in with me. I had some time to kill before a show and decided to treat myself to wine and a yummy dinner. I really hate eating alone in public, actually, I don't think I ever have because the thought TERRIFIES me. I'm new to Providence and don't know many people but I don't want to miss out just because I'm alone- ya dig? I sat at the counter and ordered wine and a salad; my outlook on dining alone has forever shifted. I ordered the strawberry and grilled pear salad and holy mother, it's one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. Arugula and mixed greens, strawberries, goat cheese, and grilled pears drizzled with balsamic- fresh, melt in your mouth deliciousness. D&B is known for cupcakes and brunch, but their dinner is just as fabulous, not to mention top notch customer service always. I'm definitely not afraid to grab dinner by myself ever again. So next time you see me, I'll be down on one knee... needa put a ring on it.

    I've been getting cupcakes at The Duck and Bunny for quite some time now, but my friends and I finally went to brunch and we were not disappointed. I ordered the Bacon & Avocado Eggs Bun-a-Duck and it was wonderful. The foccacia (from Olga's) tasted slightly stale, but it didn't ruin the meal. My friends got crepes, and they both enjoyed them. One of my friends got a mimosa and enjoyed it, but my other friend and I ordered the Bloody Mary and fell in love. They add champagne to it which gives it a slight sweetness, and now we make all of our homemade Bloody Mary's that way if possible! It's just so cute and the staff is very friendly. I can't wait to return!

  • Jordan D.

    So I know people turn to D&B for date nights, going out with groups and that sort of thing. The wife and I might be the first people to use D&B as a post game spot after a P-Bruins game haha and it ended up being a perfect end to the night. Nothing like some cupcakes and nightcaps to close out a good night I thought? So I assume on any given weekend night, you gotta wait for a table and our wait was short. Being that it was my first time, we went all out - a cupcake flight, appys and a few cocktails. Cupcakes, as advertised and mentioned in reviews, are worth the price of admission, but I got my socks rocked with the crepes we tried! I went with the Sweet Baby Jesus and true to the name, one bite and I said "Sweet baby Jesus this crepe is off the walls!" but my wife got the Belini crepe which is savory crepe with Belini caviar, scallion and sour cream. I'm a bit of a crepe snob and grew up with them (I come from an ethnic family) and this one top 3 one of the best crepes I've had in my life and I'm not even a savory crepe type of dude. Just bonkers that a crepe could taste this good; crepes and caviar - who knew!?!? Perfect mix! Wine and drink selection was on point. Vibe was young and cool. Staff was great. But man those crepes! I'll be back!

  • Karen M.

    I've been here twice, and have really enjoyed it both times. The first time I came for breakfast/brunch and had a very delicious French toast and coffee. The problem with coming for breakfast, though, is that one of their signatures is their cupcakes, and I think I actually had one as a breakfast dessert. (Is that a thing? Oh well, let's say it is.) The second time I came it was for drinks and appetizers on the back patio, on a beautiful day. The drinks were fine, and I ordered one of their fig and prosciutto pizzas, which was beyond delicious. The atmosphere on the back patio, shaded by a vine-covered trellis, just can't be beat. The atmosphere inside is quirky and fun, but the tables are a little bit tight.

    (4)

  • Logan R.

    I had mulled wine and a cupcake. The mulled wine wasn't mulled wine so much as some heated up table wine with a cinnamon stick. It was fine but nothing to write home about. Interior is sort of cool. It's in a house so you get to feel like your at your friend's place, assuming your friend has a full bar, far too many tables, and a wait staff. The cupcake was a bit dry but the banana flavor (I had banana/nutella) was on point. Perhaps Sunday's cupcakes were all baked on Friday? Who knows. Our waitress was pleasant but the food and drink seemed run-of-the-mill to me.

  • Michelle R.

    SUCH GOOD FOOD!! This place is so cute and a perfect place for breakfast. The pancakes and bread pudding are amazing, as well as the large selection of teas. If you don't know what bread pudding is, definitely try it (I was a skeptic at first, but it turned out to be the best thing on the menu)!

  • Patrick L.

    Excellent spot for a cup of tea and a scone. I really enjoyed the pot of Darjeeling I had paired with a beautiful couple of scones. The jam and Devonshire cream were some of the best I've had stateside. Brilliant spot with an easy walk to India Point Park.

  • Shierly M.

    It was difficult to give Duck and Bunny a 3-star, because I love their cupcakes! The only problem is, that is all that I love. The space is tiny and cramped. The crepe ranges from great to okay (no exclamation marks). I think I would only come here to buy cupcakes to go and not actually sit and dine. In my most recent visit (where I actually decided to sit in), I waited for around 30 minutes for my food. Thankfully, my partner and I decided to get the cupcake (which arrived immediately) and enjoyed that. FYI -- 30min was after we finished the cupcake. Luckily, we weren't "hangry" and we were enjoying each other's company, but I don't think it should take 30 minutes to prepare 5 slices of smoked salmon (which I presume would have been pre-prepared), a bunch of greens (aka. "salad") and a potato mash. Anyway, my advice--not a good place to get food, you have better luck getting good crepes at La Creperie on thayer than here. This place should just be for cupcakes. To go.

  • Elena M.

    My previous review is definitely in need of a refresher! I've been here twice since I made those comments and I have to say that things have definitely improved for me here. The only reason I am excluding a fifth star is because the service isn't always spectacular, but I feel like I've noticed a difference in the quality of the food and drinks. I look forward to enjoying all the lovely garden patio has to offer this summer!

  • Meltem G.

    We had brunch in this little place the other day. It was a bit cramped and stuffy inside. We sat in the fireplace room and ordered Bun-a-duck (a cute name for their version of Eggs Benedict) and an omelette. The omelette was a little bit overdone with too many ingredients, which totally ruins the taste. I guess the Eggs Benedict was fine, as my friend liked it. We also ordered beer on tap, but they told us that the tap was not working and we ended up with some kind of bottled beer which was not exactly the kind of beer that we wanted. The service was no so great, because we had to wait for everything for a long time. And we had to ask for every single detail such as salt and pepper and other small things. As for the much praised atmosphere, I think it is a bit overrated. They advertise as a "Snuggery," but it should be called "Smuggery" instead. We were surrounded by groups of teenage girls playing "Ladies who lunch," refreshing their perfume and make-up and throwing nervous glances around.

    This is my brunch review! I finally managed to have a Saturday off like a normal person so the BF and I decided to find a new place to chow... ha. So anyways, I have been meaning to come to the Duck and Bunny for a while but always walked passed it and never went in. Finally I made the big decision that "Today will be the day!" and had brunch here for the first time. This little "snuggery" is eclectically decorated with large comfy chairs that are all a little different. The pictures on the wall are all... well... interesting. But alas, you get to sit down and take a look at the menu. Might I recommend a few of my favorite brunch plates? The New York System Hot Weiner Omelette - for those carnivores out there and spice lover this is your breakfast. Why wouldn't you want to start your day with a burst of flavor on your tongue and a belly full of fire? The Mazzy Start crepe is mmm mmm good. Should have been made by Campbell's. It's light but cheesy. You now how you like cheese but sometimes people over do it and make it annoyingly cheesy? Well it isn't the case here. The mushrooms add the perfect additional texture to this dish that makes you happy for brunch. There's only street parking here on Wickendon. The other option is to park at India Point Park and then walk over on a busy day but this is annoying when it's raining or snowing outside! I definitely recommend this place!

  • Katalyst S.

    Good, close, adorable. Definitely recommend for those three reasons. My crepe was good but it wasn't huge and it wasn't in my top ten favorite crepe experiences or anything like that. Not gonna lie, for $10 I kinda expect a crepe to be huge (but that's just me). I've yet to try the cupcakes but just on service and presentation alone I left with a positive view of this place. Nothing was insulting. We didn't have to wait. The food tasted good. Everyone I came with was happy with what they ordered and how they were treated. The place was open late and that was a huge benefit. We easily parked on the street but I can see where that would be a problem in the busy daylight hours. I just wouldn't hesitate to come here again. The environment was pleasant.

    Literally 5 different staff members came out to say hi. Very strong coffee which is what you should get for 5 bucks. Good dessert too. I didn't expect such a nice back patio.

  • Evan V.

    Royal Tenebaum bought the house on Archer Avenue in the winter of his thirty-fifth year. That is far from a Yelp-worthy review, but that is all that runs through my head whenever I find myself being snuggeried. Dudes in fedoras and Brown students with ambitions to change the world, one non-profit at a time, round out much of the client-base. The foodstuff is delicate, as are the drinks. And for someone like me who truly enjoys a good schtick, I must say, trying harder is not always the best approach. I will return and I will pretend to enjoy it, but in reality anything beyond three stars is not A-OK. **We shall walk again, down along the lane...** (Slo-mo master shot - if you've been here, you know the rest).

    Last night was my first time here and I had very high expectations from what everyone has told me. First the food was awesome. We got there late so not too many cupcakes to choose from, my red velvet was delicious although a little hard on the outside (understandable from sitting out all day). We also got the banana split crepe. I have never had anything like it. SO YUMMY. As far as service goes, I can't complain too much as I do work in a restaurant and know what it's like when people come in close to closing time although i did feel a bit rushed in making my decision. Our waitress informed us the kitchen did close at 10 so we did order promptly. A little after 10 my friend wanted coffee, but our waitress said they weren't serving it anymore because last call was at 10.. But you can't make a coffee?..seemed a bit odd but hey what do I know. Maybe if we went earlier the service would have been better. I look forward to going back and having more cupcake options and maybe some dinner foods as well

    I'm surprised I never reviewed this spot! One of my favs when in the mood for a cozy spot for a cocktail and bite to eat. How cute that they do a champagne and cupcake flight! They're food is not only delicious but beautiful. It's a special little spot to bring a girlfriend or stop by on a date night. Good beer selection too for those craft beer fans out there!

    The Duck and Bunny refers to itself as a "snuggery," and it's just as cute and cozy as that name would suggest. The food menu, however, means business. Seriously, where else can you get a creperito (a crepe burrito?! genius!) and a Full Elvis (a peanut butter, banana, fluff, BACON, and fried egg sandwich) in the same place? Trust me, once you've finished your meal at Duck and Bunny, you'll definitely want to snuggle up and snooze away the afternoon. (Also, rumor has it that Emma Watson goes here when she feels like taking classes at Brown. If the food doesn't convince you to go, maybe the opportunity to stalk Hermione Granger will.)

    Crepes are amazing, and it's a fun atmosphere, but only giving it 3 stars because I don't understand the obsession with the cupcakes. They are awful!! I've been there twice, and both times the cupcakes were so dry it felt like I was trying to swallow a mouthful of sawdust!

    The only thing that draws me into the Duck & Bunny each time is the cupcakes and the decor/vibe. Like other reviewers have noted, the decor is like that of Alice in Wonderland/tea at the Mad Hatters. The concept of a "snuggery" is perfect, especially in the cold winter months. Tea and lattes are wonderful. I had the Portuguese Sweet Bread cupcake this weekend heated up and it was delightful, tasted just like french toast. Prices on the brunch menu were a bit too steep for my liking. I am a brunch girl but do not find it a nice environment for a meal. Cupcake, coffee and a nice conversation with a good friend is enough for me. 5 stars for the cupcakes for sure. I would also have liked to see the restaurant a bit more clean. The leather looks like it should be wiped down a little better. Coconut truffle tea with honey and a splash of milk is delicious!! Now I am hungry for cupcakes!!!

    You have to try this place if: 1. You love adorably named things. Come on, "the duck and bunny" - why didn't I think of that? 2. You like cupcakes. In my opinion they far outshine The Cupcakerie and Sweet Indulgences. The chocolate thin mint is one of my personal favorites. 3. You're always on the hunt for a great outdoor garden in which imbibing and noshing can commence. Didn't even realize it existed until my "local" friends showed me the secret passage way. Hopefully you'll find it too.

    Although Duck and Bunny is a pretty good place for desserts, I wouldn't say it's a top-notch quality like ones such as Pastiche. But this could be because I'm not a big fan of cupcakes, which are their signature dessert menu- They have quite a wide range selection of teas, which is nice for people who prefer teas over coffee. The ambience here might be a little uncomfortable at first because it's a bit kitchy but once you get used to it I think it's okay-

    I've been coming here since the beginning and yes there have been some changes but you can still get great service and food. It's freakin' adorable and I love bringing my out of town guests here. On the weekends it is PACKED! Such a tiny place and so many eager (and hungry) people trying to get a table, order etc. Once you're settled, there won't be a rush for you to leave and you can literally spend hours at your table without being bothered. In my opinion, D&B really shines with its cupcakes and tea party food for afternoon and morning visits. At night, the quality beers on tap (plus 'gansett tall boys for those who want something simpler) and concise wine list go perfectly with a cheese and meat board. I spent too many nights here in grad school doing "work" or going for "just one drink". Also, in the summer the patio is a pleasant alternative to air conditioning.

    Right down the street from me, is a little crepery. When I moved into the East Side, my new neighbor told me it was a place I had to visit. As a guy, a crepery was not the first choice on my list to choose as my local pub. I have since changed my tune. The Duck and Bunny is owned by Dan, who has a extremely loyal and tightly knit staff. He made me feel at home right from the beginning, and I honestly think of this place as a pub more than a restaurant. They don't serve liquor, but they do have an excellent selection of beers, wines, and unique cocktails as well as tea and coffee. The food should not be counted out, though. Everything is made from crepes, except the cupcakes, and the variety of uses they fine for the crepes is impressive. The cupcakes are ridiculously good. Don't wait too late into the night, or they will run out. They're that good. You will run into the college kids in here. I have seen some interesting costumes once in a while, but the crowd has a good mix, and I have never been made to feel unwelcome by the staff. In fact, they have gone out of their way on more than one occasion to make me feel at home.

    I went to Duck and Bunny with my mom and sister on a Friday afternoon for lunch. They were very busy & have an awkward and very small waiting area. The hostess wasn't very accommodating, especially to the party in front of ours with a baby stroller. Once we were seated things improved slightly. Our waitress wasn't very helpful, and wasn't in a hurry at all-- probably one of the reasons there was a long wait. We each ordered a different crepe and shared a large bowl of vegetarian soup. Everything was delicious. Our waitress read off the cupcakes for the day and we ordered a red velvet and a pumpkin cupcake. My mom and sister enjoyed them, but I did not. The ambiance is very nice and beautifully decorated. Overall a good lunch, minus the not so great service.

    The atmosphere is very chic and welcoming to both men and women at this 'snuggery'. Yummy cupcakes and drinks, a great after dinner hang out. If the weather is cooperating make sure to check out the garden in back, delightful! Highly recommend for ladies night or date night, you won't be disappointed.

    Okay, I used to have a novel published here about: 1) The allergic reaction I had to cupcakes on my first Duck and Bunny visit (I'm allergic to peanuts). 2) Apologies from the owner and steps taken to prevent further allergic reactions. 3) The cupcakes. But these guys rock at responding to customer feedback, and have implemented a number of precautions for allergic people, including separate utensils for peanut and non-peanut cupcakes. I really feel safe now from any allergic issues. Thank you Mr. Duck!! Now that I've been to Duck and Bunny a lot, I'm going to simplify this. I'm a HUGE cupcake snob and have high expectations for cupcakes. I LOVE trophy cupcakes and simply desserts in seattle, alexandria cupcake in DC, and two little red hens in NYC. I think Duck and Bunny makes some solid cupcakes. The honey lavendar, portuguese sweet bread, and thin mint brownie are absolutely DELISH! I wish they would experiment more with flavors like guinness and irish cream... but I can't complain. They've got some interesting flavors and produce a good texture of cake. The frostings are satisfying, unique--could be a little bolder, but well balanced to cake context. Can I also give a nod to the fantastic brunch these guys have on weekends!? When did they even start having brunch? I thought this was more a late night (date?!) spot than anything else. But the LATKES benedict is ingenious and dare-I-say... more satisfying than the crepes...!? Pair anything with the apricot black iced tea. I think the iced tea alone has one over the addictive part of my brain. And heart.

    Over the top levels of preciousness, you might even say twee to a fault. Crepe based foodstuffs are pretty good, but nothing to write home about. I have never really understood the whole gourmet cupcake thing; is it just for rich women who suck at baking to feel special? Pretty much got a very self congratulatory vibe from everyone else working or eating there for being cool enough to be there. Cheese plate decent, but not too much variety on it, is a cheese plate curated? is that the word? it could have been curated better. Also fucking tiny and cramped so you need to hear the 'tentiousness of other people's conversations; cool bro I went to liberal arts school too.

    This is a quaint, hyper-New England old world cafe and tea salon with a hip staff. Come here for a cup of tea and a conversation. That said, there's only one boring sandwich/burrito option for vegans so don't come here expecting a solid meal (that is, if you're of the plant-eating persuasion). I came and had an excellent pot of tea (they have an extensive loose-leaf selection) and a vegan chocolate-strawberry cupcake that tasted great and was super-moist. If Duck and Bunny had more, and more interesting, vegan options for food I'd visit all the time and probably give them another star.

    I've definitely had better meals of the type that The Duck and Bunny serve, though its charming decor bump this place up to a 3 star experience overall. After finding this place on Yelp and seeing so many (and so many positive) reviews, I was eager to check this place out when taking a day trip to Providence though left disappointed. It seems this place really primarily caters to middle aged women who want to have a "fancy" high tea, even though it's not really *that* fancy. If you're form Providence, or another area where dinning options are limited, you might be impressed by this place. But, I can't say I'd recommend going out of your way to stop in for a meal, and I certainly won't return if I'm ever in Providence again. Having brunch with two others, our meal was adequate. The real winner in our meal was the person who ordered the tea service, for $18. The other two of us ordered the fixed price brunch, including a salad, crepe, and small cupcake. I am always shocked to find places charging upwards of $10 for crepes, considering crepes are so easy and cheap to make, unless they are filled with expensive ingredients. Trying the mushroom/fontina/rosemary/truffle oil crepe for my meal, I was expecting to have more filling and more truffle flavor, though both were lacking. I also had a small salad, served with mandarin oranges, nuts, and scallions. In truth, the salad was just a notch up from something you'd get at a fast food restaurant since sadly the oranges were canned, even though they're in season now, and the dressing was nothing great. The mini cupcake served at the end of the fixed price brunch was disappointing. We both ordered the chocolate + salted caramel. However, the amount of caramel drizzled on top was so infinitesimally small that it was essentially undetectable. With my meal, I ordered a cappuccino which was not great. It came out more like a latte with a layer of foam on top, rather than a true cappuccino, and the espresso wasn't very high quality. The service was slow. This place only has about a dozen tables with additional seating at the bar, so it can't seat very many people total. Still, our server was inattentive, never really checking on us, and taking forever to come around so we could ask for our bill and finally leave.

    Creative Green Cuisine! Crepes galore.. With seasonal additions to the menu depending on the time of year! The fig Umbrian with prosciutto is one of my favorites! Though slightly expensive the drink menu is highly creative, unique and definitely recommended! :)

    As good as it gets! Delicious crepes, very good salads, and the tea sandwiches were also great! Didn't try the cupcakes but they looked good! The place is super cute, nice decor, very cozy... The staff was very nice and friendly and the service was fast. I will definitely return!

    This fun little place was bustling when my friend and I arrived. The food was really nice - I had a not-too-big crepe with portobello mushroom, fontina, and truffle oil (with an itty bitty salad on the side), followed by a reasonably-sized piece of pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream and some jasmine green tea. Service was friendly, and rather attentive. Next time, I'm trying (a) cupcake(s)...

    I've never done an update of a review before, but this is the first time my opinion of a place has so drastically changed. I hate to sound like an old fart, but it's gone downhill. It's kind of embarrassing for me that I pointed so many people to this place. I've gone to D&B many times since I last reviewed it. The last few times in a row though have been huge disappointments. On my most recent trip, our small water glasses were filled only when we sat down. We ordered drinks right away and got them. But after an appetizer and our main meal, our water was never refilled and we were never asked if we wanted another drink. When we got our salad, the waitress turned and walked away immediately so I could barely ask for an extra plate. Luckily she heard me and turned around. We also ordered the mushroom crepe noodle deal and got steak instead. I ended up eating it anyway because like I said, the waitress never came back. I went with the intent to get more drinks and cupcakes too but we were left waiting so long, I was not in the mood. This experience was exactly what has happened the last few times I've gone - ignored, no water refills, left before I originally intended to. Unfortunately it's to the point where I can't go there anymore. I guess it's still a good place if you're meeting up for drinks during late night and you don't need attentiveness. What a shame! The food is still good. It takes a lot for me to shun a place just on service, and I thought my service standards are kinda low.

    Their cupcakes are killer and for a while I was getting them multiple times a week(I'm getting married so I had to cut back on my cupcake consumption). Their tea is delish as well (coconut truffle is my fav) and their meals using crepes as the base are creative and filling. Go here for a cupcake, brunch, dinner, wine or tea!

    Duck and Bunny is delicious and the prices are very reasonable, but if you go on a weekend, be prepared for a long wait. We arrived at 1:15 on a Sunday and waited 20 minutes for seats at the bar. There was a long line and even after we were seated, we had to wait thirty more minutes to order food. The restaurant is small so the wait staff was very busy and the service was slow. The food, however, is wonderful! I got the Mazzy Star (crepe with mushrooms, fontaine cheese and truffle oil) and it was delicious! The mushrooms were perfectly cooked and the truffle oil was a great touch. My friend ordered a creperito (a burrito in crepe form) and devoured it. Overall we were very satisfied with the portion sizes and taste. We finished off by splitting a red velvet cupcake (which, based on size, could easily be eaten by one person). The creamcheese frosting was a tad heavy but still yummy. The staff at Duck and Bunny is friendly and there's a cozy atmosphere. We chatted to everyone else siting at the bar and had a great afternoon. I recommend it for lunch or a fun dinner with friends!

    Two words: Old cupcakes Cupcakes are what this place is supposed to be known for. I've been twice and they've been stale and dry both times. Not the worst thing in the world but the 2nd time around they also gave all 3 of us that partook stomach aches. I won't be going back OR trying any more of their products!

    I love your food, Duck and Bunny...but get better seating! From eye level up, the place does look like a "snuggery"....cute wallpaper and lights. The tables though are marble if I remember right, the floor is likewise a hard surface (not wood) and the chairs are uncomfortable metal. Not really cozy or comfy, though I imagine in the summer if they have AC people might love it then. The times I have been there I have had to watch out for either knocking myself on the corner of one of these heavy tables, or running into waiters, as it is rather "snug" in terms of space. I think with some cozy old wood chairs (maybe with cushions?) or antique button-back chairs, and some friendlier tables, this place would fit the atmosphere it is going for. It is really the type of seating that I am deducing a star for, because it does detract from the comfort of eating there. They do seem to have a middle room with some velvety chairs, that is painted a rather dark color, but I think that is designated for parties. On to the food. It is delicious! I have had the pomme frites and two different types of crepes. Once I tried a mini cupcake, and it was decent, but it was the frites and the crepes that really stuck in my memory. I also like that they have suggested pairings if you are looking for an alcoholic pairing instead of coffee, tea, or water, though I think I just got coffee. I hope to go back again sometime, when the weather is fair enough that the seating won't be too chilly, and at a time when they don't have lines. Try it!

    So I finally got to try two of the things about the D&B that I had been dying to check out since I first started going there, the garden patio and the crepes. I must say that I was pretty impressed with both. The patio was adorable and the perfect way to spend one of the last evenings of the Summer. I loved sipping my Guinness as the sun set and the stars began to twinkle in the sky. It did get a little dark, as the lighting wasn't too bright out there, but I actually dug it. If I get to go there again before it gets too chilly, I would love to sit in the comfy chairs with the lanterns. So cute. The other thing you must try at the D&B is the crepes. My father and his girlfriend were in town, and because of how unique of a place the D&B is, I had to take them there for breakfast. We first ordered our coffees, which were very good, and refilled at a decent pace. It took us forever to all decide on which crepes we wanted to share, but after twenty minutes were able to decide on the Rachel and Monica (sun dried tomato , spinach, and goat cheese), the Thomas Henry (egg, bacon, and cheese), The Angelina (Blueberry Blini, Des Nuages cheese, raspberry chocolate, lemon zest), the Sweet Baby James (Strawberry & Sweet Vanilla Mascarpone Blintz), and my dad's girlfriend ordered the finger sandwiches. Holy smokes, were all of the crepes (and finger sandwiches) delicious. Each one was scrumptious in it's own, unique way. The savory crepes were filling and mouth watering-ly good. The sweet crepes were delicate, sweet but not overpoweringly so, and had such outstanding flavor. The only thing that I still find to be a bit lacking about the D&B is the service. I don't know what it is about the servers there, but they seem to be a bit aloof and almost snobbish. They are never outright rude or slow, or anything in particular, but the service is never really great either. Other than that, I find the Duck and Bunny to be one of those really great places to hang out and also to take guests when you want to show them somewhere out of the ordinary.

    The Duck and Bunny: a surreal Alice-in-Wonderland-like café, cum restaurant, cum Victorian-style drawing room... I'm unsure what to make of this place but I'm digging it. On my two visits so far, I've tried their espresso drinks (good), cupcakes (yum, a house specialty), and a fantastic nutella-banana crêpe (splash of brandy woefully missing). I'm looking forward to giving their wine-food pairings a go: nearly every dish - and their brunch menu looks extensive and original - comes accompanied by a suggested alcoholic sidekick. The layout of the place is utterly bewildering, so have patience. Nicknamed a "snuggery" it initially feels more like a maze, but once you've found your niche you understand. Small tables, elbow-to-elbow seating, crowded bar (agoraphobes steer clear on weekends!) And with the white-lace curtains, the cozy mantle-piece and the white cushion head-boards installed on the walls over white leather benches, it's like sharing breakfast in a grand bed with perfect strangers...

    I went to the duck and Bunny on a Friday night after a ladies night dinner. We had a sweet tooth and a craving for a good beverage. The ambiance at the D&B is stellar. It's cute, cozy and stylish. BUT the cupcakes were terrible. I don't know if they had a bad batch that day, but my first cupcake, the lavender and honey, came back very dry and tasteless. I took two bites of that cupcake, and in order to give the place the benefit of the doubt (and satisfy my sweet tooth!) I ordered a second cupcake, Banana/Nutella, which was also VERY dry. I was very very very disappointed. I've heard great things about their crepes, and the drinks were very good, but I was less than impressed during my experience at the D&B.

    Ha, it is times like when you venture back into your old stomping ground and realize why you maybe have gained a couple of pounds in your life. Having the Duck & Bunny within walking distance from my last apartment was a deadly but wonderful experience in my life. Cupcakes on demand....yes please. And that is only the start. Once again, I am always just blown away by the atmosphere. It really is cozy and cute. I love sitting on the cupcake bar side the best or if warm, in the garden. The crepes are awesome, I still heart the Wyatt and was so happy to see it still on the menu. If you are up for an appetizer, do yourself a favor and get the Cheese Toasts. Locally toasted bread with yummy Narragansett cheese and fresh tomatoes are the best starter here! I also like this place because of the full range of teas. It is nice to have solid beverage options that don't revovle around booze. My liver greatly appreciated it. I just really miss this place alot, it is a dime a dozen.

    I love heading to the Duck and Bunny with a few friends. The interior decor is awesome - both cozy and modern at the same time. They have a great wine list, some tasty savory crepes and other food, and, of course, an incredible cupcake selection. They even have a wheat free cupcake (orange-chocolate with traditional icing). Always a lot of interesting people in the joint, and it stays open "late" (I haven't gotten used to the normal 11-12 pm closing time in Fox Point yet). Watch out if you plan on going with more than a group of 4 in the winter - the space is tiny and often full! However, the patio is beautiful, spacious, and dog friendly.

  • Alaina G.

    Have I not written a review of D&B? For shame! With a pretty robust menu of salads, sandwiches, crepes and more, there is plenty to choose from. I tend to stay within my favored Duck & Bunny tasty zone - fantastic cocktails (the Bubbly Mary, for example, is awesome. It tastes like a bloody mary, except with no vodka) and truffle fries (I mean - what part of french fries + truffle oil + light sprinkling of cheese doesn't sound great?). Aside from the food, their space is cute. it can feel cozy (read: cramped) when there are huge groups, but I happen to think that works well during the winter. In the summer, the huge outdoor deck is both unexpected and awesome. From the photos on their site, I expected a weenie three seated patio. Instead I was greeted with a charming backyard space, complete with good-for-groups bench areas that looked quite comfortable and less 'formal' than tables. On the less positive side - I don't love love their cupcakes. Blasphemy, I know, but I find them to be a little too sweet. Similarly, while I always seem to find something that I want, I did bring a friend who was not as open minded...she just wanted bread, for example, and was a little annoyed that they don't offer that option. Their finger foods are also slightly expensive even when shared among groups. Lastly, any place called a 'snuggery' will attract a certain type of client. The first time I went, for example, there was a gaggle of girls (yes - a gaggle!) celebrating a birthday. My hubs and I were trying to have a romantic date night and the shrieking was a little distracting. Every other time, though, it's been relatively quiet and relaxing.

    Cute but weird little place. It's like it can't tell what it wants to be. It serves tea and scones, which are traditionally English. Then there's the crepes, which are French. And don't forget the pomme frites, which are Belgian. Anyway, I had the ham, gruyere, and candy mustard crepe, which was SO good and the pomme frites (aka truffle fries) which were pretty tasty as well. The prices are a bit lofty and there are some cool pictures and some creepy pictures in the dining room. The cupcake selection was wide, but I didn't get the opportunity to sample. Anyway, top our visit off with a James Franco sighting, and the roommie and I had a great time! I want to go back to try the scones and jam. I miss afternoon tea time.

    When this place first opened I really enjoyed going - but as time has gone on I am more and more disappointed. Many times you go and they are having a "function" meaning no place to sit. This has happened to me 4 times now. I went a few weeks ago when my niece came to Providence, and I thought she would enjoy the restaurant. We were seated quickly, but after that the service was almost nonexistent. We ordered our food and after about 30 minutes we got our appetizer. Another couple came in and had their lunch in 10 minutes. When we asked the waiter he made some excuse that the computer wasn't sending orders back. The place wasn't that busy and he could have easily seen we had been waiting had he bothered to check. I enjoy the food, but not the best I've had, cupcakes seem stale many times. Not sure if I will return - bad service isn't what I'm looking for. We each got a free cupcake for our wait (over 2 hours there) - not sure that was worth it!

    3.5 stars, solidly. We had Sunday brunch here and agreed to sit at the high-top near the back of the house. This was a mistake. For more than half the meal, the back door was wide open on a blustery day. My honey latte (which didn't have enough honey) cooled immediately, and I shivered throughout the meal. When I asked the waitress to shut the door, she did. It was opened no more than seven minutes later, and she explained that it was the chef. Well, I was a pastry chef and understand it gets hot, but you deal with it: You don't make your customers suffer. This really took away from the meal and "snuggery" vibe. However, our crepes were fantastic. I also tried a cranberry scone but was disappointed that it did not come with Devonshire cream as promised. If you can get a table far away from the kitchen, do: This is a cute brunch spot.

    Cutest cupcakerie around! Delightful flavors - and a full bar! There is a great assortment of teas, and you get your own large teapot. This is a place that you can literally spend hours in laughing with friends. It does get quite busy - especially in the colder months, but in the spring they open up their back yard. It is so precious and perfect for a late night sweet and drink. My favorite flavor is the banana cupcake with nutella frosting :) yum!

    I've only been here once for a bachelorette party, but I wasn't too fond of the cupcakes and it wasn't really the place for that sort of group. Great idea and great ambiance. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it was just a small group or just myself and another person

  • Kayla H.

    I'm really sad to give this place three stars. We had a big party here about a year ago and it was great. I went in this week to buy some merchandise, didn't sit down to eat anything. The salt and pepper guy with glasses behind the bar couldn't have been more unhappy to be there. He barely said 5 words to me the whole time and made me feel pretty unwelcome. I only tipped because I recognized a waiter who was on as someone who had been great before. If you don't want to deal with people I feel like you're in the wrong industry.

    This place was really cute. I had two pots of tea and my girlfriends had wine or cappuccino. The girls got a cheese toast and said it was fabulous. We were there pretty late so they had sold out of the cupcakes we wanted but that's ok. The atmosphere is adorable. The only things I didn't love were in the bathroom. There's something hanging from the ceiling that is very low and I almost hit my head a couple times and there is a vent directly over the toilet that was caked in dust. Over all a great experience though!

    WOW WOW WOW! I'm in love with everything about this place! The inside decor is chic, but cozy, and comfortable. The outdoor seating in the back garden, glowing with candlelight and lanterns, and mini fountains is ultra romantic (men you want to make a good impression on a first date take her here!). The cocktails and cupcakes are creative and yummy, the service is good , and they have local craft beers- Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!

  • Lauren L.

    I usually don't write reviews that are this low, I wanted to give the Duck and Bunny a higher one, but I see that they have ignored the comments to fix their service. On the plus side the coffee was strong, the tea was good, the menu had a wonderful variety. My husband and I did enjoy our meals . . . when they came. Now, the negatives were a bit too hard to ignore. We sat down at 12:40pm. By 1:40 pm we had no silverware, no napkins, just 3/4 empty water glasses and our coffee/tea. I watched a different waitress come over to another table to drop our meals off- very confused that the people at the neighboring table DIDN'T order the crepe my husband was waiting for. A very nice manager came over after we watched our meals be delivered to someone else to apologize and tell us "the drinks are on me." She never did convey that to our server, who while very pleasant and somewhat attentive, was too overworked to actually come by and find out that detail. Now that brings me to the next major negative. There is a fine line between cozy and cramped. The table was too small to fit our meals and drinks so I managed to spill my tea. In the process of cleaning up, the staff was helpful enough to get a rag . . . but not to replace our napkins. Yes, these are small points. Taken together, though, they really make me sour on the whole experience. I will give the Duck and Bunny another chance. I wouldn't NOT recommend it, the food and selection are too good. I can't say the service was all out awful, just scattered, disjointed and pretty inattentive.

    The yummy food and wonderful ambiance made for a wonderful birthday brunch with my gal pals. The spotty service kept me from giving D&B five stars. We all enjoyed our delish crepes however the latkes got mixed reviews from our table. And what's not to love about a pink can of Blanc de Blancs? The service could have been a lot more attentive, especially for the first part of our visit. We had a different server take over our table near the end of our visit and she was great. We could have lingered for hours in the garden but alas, Mother Nature had other ideas.

    A place specializing in cupcakes, coffee, and beer? Helloooo Holy Trinity. The first thing that I love about this place is that during the day (or a Tuesday night) it's a good place to go for a cup of coffee to read or get work done while having a great cup of coffee (or a Guinness). It's also a killer place for Girls Night Out, a first date, an anniversary, a book club, etc. While some men (whoarenotintouchwithfeminineside) might shiver at the decor (white! pretty! teacups!), it maintains a sleek feel while still being delightfully shabby chic. Check out the bathroom. The management has some tips for ya ;-). Service is good--I've chatted with the owners (an adorable married couple whose lifelong dream was to open a snugger) on multiple occasions, and they're committed to the vision. It's a cool, much-needed addition to Wickenden Street. I've tried the cupcakes and the crepes, and definitely no complaints here. No hard booze, but when you can have lava lamp cocktails, who really cares? Open early and open late, so pick your poison.

    I love this place! I had actually never even heard of it (sad since I work right on wickenden street) but a friend of mine lives right around the corner and stops in frequently so I knew I had to check it out! I love love love love LOVE the atmosphere. Snuggery is a great term, and its exactly that. Comfy, cozy, and even when it is busy it seems so personal. I have been a few times now, and am always pleased with the cupcakes. They are STELLAR. Also, the lava lamp (on the drinks menu) is fantastic and warms you right up. I've only eaten actual dinner there once, and had the bolognese "pasta" dish that they make out of crepe noodles. I was in love. such an ecclectic idea and taste. Duck and Bunny has definitely added to my sweet tooth!

    Went here for a first date, and couldn't of been better (wish I could say the same about the actual date) but that's another story! I love the quaint, cozy atmosphere at the Duck and Bunny. Had the charcuterie meat board which was really good! Felt like a princess while sitting on an old victorian chair. Service was on point, and everyone was in a great mood and friendly. Took a brief tour in the back and there's a romantic garden with lots of flowers. Next time I return, I will try the cupcakes, heard their the best around! Will definitely come here again with the right person! Lol

    My good friend, the lovely and elite Jay, brought me to the Duck + Bunny after rave reviews and I was anything but disappointed. This place is adorable! So quaint and cute. The tea was delicious (I ordered the caffeine-free pomegranate pear) and the cupcakes (mini red velvet) were to die for!! The prices were very reasonable. I cannot wait to recommend this place to friends. And to visit it much more often : )

    I went here for the first time yesterday and I have to say, I am a fan. My friends and I split the afternoon tea, which consists of one pot of tea to share, and a platter of assorted delights, including tea sandwiches, miniature cupcakes, cookies, and a large scone to split. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The "nibbles" filled me right up! My favorites were the tuna tea sandwich and the cranberry scone. (The espresso cupcake frosting was also to-die-for.) Both the English Breakfast and Pomegranate Pear teas we tried were also delicious and perfectly satisfying for a Sunday afternoon brunch. But I have to say what really makes the Duck & Bunny so magical is the ambiance and the service. The decor is adorable - cushy tufted headboards and back pillows line the walls, and ottomans are used as additional seating. Take a further look around the restaurant and you'll find the walls are hung with great works of art - with some small embellishments make them unique to D&B. Our waiter, whose name unfortunately escapes me, was attentive, cheery, and helpful when we had questions about the various items on our platter. One of the most satisfying restaurant experiences I have had in a long time!

    I'm not ashamed to admit the only reason I went here is because I heard this was Emma Watson favorite hang out while at Brown. "If it's good enough for Emma," I thought, "it's good for me!" Questionable logic? Yes, but fantastic results. The Duck and Bunny has that warm ambience you just want to sink into. The decor is interesting: modern elegance with a comforting nostalgia, although space is limited so larger parties might be a bit snug. The crepes and eclectic fare are top notch, the cocktails are fresh, and the cupcakes are perfection! If you can, go on a warm day and enjoy the garden out back. And, fellas, if you want to get a girl smitten, take her here on a first date (don't forget to mention the part about Emma Watson) she'll like that!

    I give this place 5 stars easily. Have brought a few friends here for some framboise, wine and cupcakes. Actually spent my St. Pattys Day here as Wickenden Pub was packed like sardines and this place had much more room, quieter and the outdoor seating was next to empty at first, then more people started coming out back to smoke and such. Service is great and every things is absolutely wonderful!

  • Natalie K.

    As most others said, this place is ridiculously cute. The prices are fairly reasonable and the food was good. I had the 'Sweet Baby James' crepe (strawberry and marscapone cheese) which left me wanting more! My honey latté was nice but nothing to write home about. It was crowded, as expected, when we went on a Sunday afternoon but we'd made reservations and were seated promptly. There isn't much of a reception area since the place is an old house so it's snug when you first arrive and you'll have to look around for a waitress. If there's more than one or two parties waiting for seats, it gets extremely crowded. Take the time to peek around and look at the paintings on the walls (all copies of famous works with alterations to include a duck or a bunny, or both!) The perfect place for a girls' lunch date.

    Delicious home cooked food, tasty cupcakes and friendly staff! This place is great for lunch and has a outdoor patio. With the selection of restaurants in Providence, this one tops them all in terms of a non chain independent restaurant.

    Very cozy little place, with delicious cupcakes and a great range of drinks. It reminded me of a hotel in Galway, Ireland I had been to, due to its hip but functionally comfy decor. Also, they now serve gluten-free beer and are working on expanding their vegan and gluten-free baked goods (we heard this from one of the owners). Exciting! The mini cupcakes are just the right sweet bite that, as my friends put it, "don't register on the guilt radar".

    I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I brought my daughters and a friend from out of town here for an afternoon tea. The service was great; the tea and food were excellent. However... our experience was seriously marred by the constant clanking of china as the servers repeatedly brought in trays upon trays of china to put away. This may sound very nitpicky but honestly it was LOUD. And it wasn't just one tray or two, it was tray after tray after tray. And I guess there's a sink in the same room and dishes were constantly being dumped in there as well. The whole point of an afternoon tea is to settle into a nice calm setting with some friends--the constant loud crashing of the china was just too much. And then on top of that one of the staff people was banging some container in an attempt to empty the ice into the ice bin. Very jarring. I waitressed for ten years, I'm familiar with having to take care of stocking china in a dining room. But good heavens, these people really had no idea how loud they were being. It's a very small establishment and you simply can't be unobservant about the amount of noise you're making. I doubt we'll be making a return visit. We'll save our fancy teas for Blithewold.

    Duck and Bunny is a great place to go for a light fare or a after dinner drink and a cupcake or a crepe. I was actually looking for a different place to go on a first date and decided this was the place. It's located in an old house so the ambiance is homey and charming! I absolutely loved the red velvet cupcake. The cream cheese frosting is amazing!! The waitress even knew what wine to pair with my cupcake. They are open late night too which is great! I also heard they do tea parties which would be a good choice for a birthday party! I'll definitely be back soon!

  • Shanell B.

    I didn't get to taste anything other then the cupcakes but the menu looked amazing! Love the ambiance, would definitely travel back to Rhode Island for brunch. I had the raspberry lemonade, strawberries n' cream and the honey lavender. The raspberry lemonade was good, the strawberries n' cream was better. I did not care for the honey lavender as the lavender was too over bearing.

  • Hope K.

    Very cute place - I mean they call it a snuggery, so it just has to be. An old home turned restaurant, lots of fun decor details and lovely outdoor seating make it a fun place to bring folks. It's crepes, cupcakes, tea and cocktails so definitely on the girly side. The cocktails are made with fresh, premium ingredients and are well balanced and delicious. The cupcakes are wonderful, the change the selection often and they have vegan selections. I had a salmon crepe served asian style like sushi and it was so good. I've also had tea here before and it was just what I was hoping for. More than enough for two, delicious and fun.

    A sunggery revisited... Due to my last review The Duck & Bunny took swift action and asked us about our experience which resulted in a gift card being sent to us, which was a kudos on their part.. So last night we decided to take a trip over to their quaint, dollhouse-like eatery for their chance to wipe my slate clean and start this relationship over again.. I can honestly say I was excited. For those of you who have never been... it is a very small place. I would say cozy rather than cramped or tight. Everything is white and has just enough sparkle to it. I would consider myself a self proclaimed foodie, so I was interested to see what they could offer beyond the typical cupcake.. As I thumbed through their menu, I realized it was quite impressive. Everything from appetizers and crepes to crepiccini (pasta made from crepes) and tea sandwiches! The coffee and tea menu was equally impressive! So after weighing my options I decided on the Roast Beef Crepiccini, this was a beautiful dish created by taking crepe pasta, tossed in a gorgonzola cream sauce (not heavy at all) then laying it delicately on the plate and adorned with shaved roast beef (roast beef was said to be rare but wasn't, however it was still tasty) and mushrooms... This reminded me of a spin off of beef stroganoff.. I was NOT disappointed!! My sister enjoyed the regular Crepiccini which was tossed in a tomato buerre blanc and was accompanied by an amazingly mound of Naragansett Creamery ricotta. The flavors danced in my mouth as the textures, flavors and aromas filled my head! After my taste buds had been satisfied, we were asked about having dessert... I was on the fence... Should I dive into the realm that had brought me here in the first place or should I stick to my overly satisfying feeling that I was having at the moment... After giving it a moment to think about.. I decided that I would be doing myself and my readers a disservice if I didn't RETRY the cupcakes... The server read off the selections for the evening..and I chose the Banana Nutella Cupcake (one that I had tried the first time). Minutes later it was sitting in front of me, awaiting my consumption.. I must admit I was a little nervous.. I took my spoon and took a piece containing the cake and an equal amount of frosting.. I let the texture and flavor mingle in my mouth, honestly giving it another chance. This pains me to say.. but I was left unsatisfied with the cupcake yet again.. I found the cake a little dry and the frosting on the greasy side.. I tried eating just the cake, then just the frosting.. Then both again.. nothing was striking a chord in me. My sister tried it as well and concurred. Now... on to my recommendation.. Would I tell my friends, family, clients etc. about this eclectic little bistro? Or do I tuck this away as a memory and move on, never to return...? I WOULD recommend The D&B to others and I DO plan on going back, I can't say enough about the dinner we had and how absolutely delicious our meals were! I also have a food allergy and one of the servers was gracious enough to MAKE SURE my meal was allergen FREE!! :) Until We Eat Again! NiNi M.

    One of the few places you'll find open late in Providence. The menu is decent, with foods and drinks that are made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is very comfortable and versatile; for close-knit friends or a cute date. And the staff is wonderful; great service, very friendly and helpful.

    While on the verge of giving this place one more shot, the owner, Daniel, thought it would be fun to E-mail me on Yelp saying, "To anonymously piss all over a new establishment while you go about living your pathetically middling life. May you reap what you sow." This was followed up by another E-mail confirming who he was. This all done after I first wrote a glowing review, which I later updated after a second return with my new views (which were negative). If this is how he treats customers that have a discrepancy with really bad service, well...

    I love going to this place. I sat at the bar and spent several hours just passing the time, eating and drinking here and there. The bartender was very friendly as soon as I walked in. I had a yummy spicy tuna fish crepe, a lemonder, and a chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake. All hit the spot! It's a real treat to visit when I am in the area.

    Holy hipsters Batman! Someone once told me that Yelp is full of weird socially awkward wanna-be foodies, and I think I found where they hang out. My cousin got there before me and I received the text "I'm here in the "lobby" waiting to be acknowledged. It's packed full of hipsters in here". Then 15 minutes later "We're in grandma's white parlor on the left when you walk in". Sounds like I'm bashing the place, but besides being out of everything my cousin ordered, and her having to stand up every time anyone in the restaurant walked by our table, the place was great. No complaints about food or service, the place is just small and crowded full of shy pale people with smartphones in tight pants. I had a monte cristo with Portuguese french toast and she had the eggs Benedict. Tea and fancy cocktail (Proseco and pears were involved but hell if I remember the name of it) were both really good. Service was pretty perfect, no complaints there either. We got mini cupcakes to go and they weren't crazy expensive like I thought they would be. Actually I think they were like a buck each. The girl at the bar wasn't the brightest crayon in the box but she finally kinda figured out what was going on. (Pick up cupcake, put in box. Repeat. Breathe in, breathe out). She didn't get our order right but close enough, didn't want to confuse her any further by adding another cupcake to the mix. With all that said, I will return! Food and service are most important to me when choosing a restaurant and they nailed it.

    I LOVE THEIR CUPCAKES. A+++++ Their mini cupcakes are so amazing, and are literally ideal for any sort of fancier party. I've ordered them for birthdays usually. My bridesmaid ordered a platter for my bridal shower this past weekend, and they added such a kick to an already awesome day. She got the red velvet (always a favorite, delicious frosting), strawberry and rose, honey with lavender frosting, and mocha. Seriously all four were so delicious. Actual food is pretty good too. I've gotten crepes from here. They also have a bar as well! And, um, the name? who can't love a place that is called "A snuggery"?

  • Kevin C.

    I reserve 5 stars for when I am blown away, and I almost was. I went for brunch and got The Distinguished Lincoln. I asked for more of the caramel mustard because I love all things mustard and man, what an incredible condiment. The combination of the mustard, gruyere, and a nice amount of black forest ham in the crepe was awesome. This meal definitely blew me away. I shared a Banana Nutella cupcake for dessert which was also phenomenal. The food alone was 5 stars for sure, but here is where they lost a little for me. The service was really slow. The staff was very nice and friendly, but there were periods of time where we didn't see our server for what felt like 20 minutes at a time. Another thing that struck me was the beer prices, particularly for Old Chub. I was really excited to see this on tap as it is rather rare in these parts, but at $8 a pint, I would never touch it. That is vastly overpriced. A pony keg of Old Chub costs about $80 which yields 40 pints. That means a keg would gross them $320, good for a 300% markup. Drop these alcohol prices to more reasonable levels and I would certainly come by to enjoy a brew in your awesome backyard seating.

  • Sue K.

    The service definitely needs to be stepped up. My friend and I got sitted quickly, but it took 20 minutes for the waiter to come over to our table to get our orders. This seemed to take too long considering that the place is super tiny. I tried scallion tangerine salad for the weekend brunch... which was a bit of a mistake. The salad dressing was really oily, and it literally drenched down the freshness of the vegetables. I felt like I could've just stayed at home and probably made a better, healthier salad. I feel like some of the menus are overpriced also. The portion isn't really that big.. I came to D&B twice before to get cupcakes and eggs benedict- and I agree with many yelpers that this place is definitely a better place to get JUST the cupcakes.. I feel like my disappointment just added up. If I need to come back, I'm probably gonna get a cupcake.

    I came here not knowing much about this place besides the weird name, and that it served dessert. When we entered we noticed how relaxing this place looks and is! I felt like I was at one of my aunts houses. Very quite and comfortable feel to it, actually more comfortable than any food place that I've ever been to. The waitress we had was a little spacey, but nice! This is the perfect place where I can picture myself, wife and a few other people talking for hours without even budging. I ended up having the Red Velvet cupcake and some champagne, which was a weird combo. The champagne was ok, but I'm not much of a champagne person, so I can't say too much, but the cupcake was really good, actually maybe the best that I've ever had!

    Lovely, small and quite busy. Cupcakes seem to be all the rage here with many take out orders while we sat at the bar. Friendly staff and hostess. Unique crepe offerings and menu, although only a brunch menu was offered today ... we were somewhat disappointed but enjoyed our visit nonetheless. Will definitely return and possibly sit in the garden in the back if the weather permits.

    Absolutely the cutest place in Providence to get lunch. The setting is so posh. I love the duck and bunny themed paintings they've sprinkled around the restaurant. I had the T.S.

The cupcakes here are pretty good too. So if you're looking for a place to have a nice Sunday brunch at, this is the place to go.

    I'm on the fence about this one because the cupcakes are DELICIOUS, but the food is only so-so and a little pricey. Also, it's very crowed there, making getting a seat difficult for brunch or during rush hour.

    Have you ever been to a snuggery? If you don't know what a snuggery is, then go straight to the source. According to the Duck and Bunny, a snuggery is "a cozy and comfortable place." I will elaborate a bit: it's warm, inviting and definitely the kind of sanctuary you go to when it's cold outside. A snuggery offers steaming beverages and decadent desserts, as well as savory and sweet comfort-food bites! I am proud to state that Providence, Rhode Island is proudly home to one of the best snuggeries around- the Duck and Bunny of course! The Duck and Bunny is an an eclectic spot that opened a few years ago on Wickenden Street in Providence to rave reviews that still ring true today. Located in a historic home, the Duck and Bunny serves brunch, light fare during the day, and is perhaps most well-know for its incredible cupcakes and beverages, both alcoholic and not. I really think of the Duck and Bunny as a cupcakerie and creperie first and foremost, but to call it that is misleading, since if offers salads, sandwiches, and so much more as well. I have ever only gone for the cupcakes, and Friday night was no different. After eating some tasty Ethiopian food, my lovely dining companions and I headed across the street to the Duck and Bunny for some dessert. It was packed, so we ended up grabbing three seats at its tiny bar (we girls grabbed the seats while the boys stood behind us!). We got lucky though because the bar didn't just serve up alcoholic beverages- it also functioned as both a coffee and cupcake bar! The cupcake selection changes often, but on Friday, they had offerings like mini hostess-style cupcakes and Portuguese bread pudding cupcakes. They even had a vegan chocolate berry cupcake, which I thought was just a great touch to cater to those who don't do dairy. Once seated, we were ready to do business. This is an excerpt from my blog - for pictures and more, go to dashofcurry.com I ended up with the vegan chocolate berry cupcake, of course! Oh and sorry for the awful flash photography. Anyway, notice the powdered-sugar covered berries crowning this cupcake jewel. So, so good. It was certainly as yummy as it looks. I am generally not a fan of fruit-themed desserts, but the berries definitely played second fiddle to the moist chocolate cake and creamy chocolate frosting, though there also was a nice dab of fruity filling in the middle of the cake. If I didn't know, I would have never guessed it was vegan. I also like it was normal-made-in-a-regular-old-fashioned-cupcake-tin sized and not one of this jumbo ones, since I was already pretty full from my vegan Ethiopian feast. My friend J ordered the mini red velvet, and graciously offered to let me photograph it. It was so cute! I think it is just so clever to offer mini cupcakes, making it possible for one to try lots of flavors without going overboard into a sugar coma. She too thought her cupcake was fab. wish I could have taken pictures of the inside of the snuggery, but since it's so tiny and cozy in the room we were in, I felt it would be a tad too awkward. Since it is situated in an old house, the Duck and Bunny has many rooms; we just happened to be in the front room, which is pretty tight. I am not sure what the rest of it looks like though, since I didn't have a chance to explore. I do know it has an outdoor seating space for when it gets warmer out! One thing I always complain about when it comes to Providence is its lack of great places to go to for dessert. Don't get me wrong, there are a few, but there's not enough! When the Duck and Bunny opened, I rejoiced, as it's basically one of the few reasonably priced dessert-focused spots (other than ice cream shops) near my home within walking distance. And, it has vegan options to boot! I am glad my friend M suggested it- that girl's got great ideas!;) If you are ever in Providence and are looking for a dining experience out of the cookie-cutter norm, head to the Duck and Bunny. You'll be able to cozy right up to some fantastic savories, sweets, and other treats!

    Actually caught myself day dreaming about eating a Duck & Bunny red velvet cupcake the other day, and made (well, nicely asked that) my fiancé drive us over for a little indulgence. This cute little 'snuggery' is a cupcake bakery / crêperie / café / beer & wine bar all wrapped up in a living-room-type ambiance. Really, it's in a 19th century home. With multiple fireplaces. Cupcakes are really delicious. Menu offers classics like carrot and chocolate, and also boasts a great selection of less traditional flavors: honey-glazed lavender; fig and bacon with salted buttercream; and a Guinness and chocolate combination to name a few. Crêpe plates are a bit more gourmet than your typical selection at a crêperie. The Dougie Boy - lox, crème fraîche, dill and capers in a crêpe pouch tied with a knotted scallion - with a simple salad is my go-to lunch. Recommend the Mazzy Star portobello, fontina, rosemary and truffle oil crêpe as well. Though... must say everything on the menu looks fantastic, so it's quite likely I'll be changing my mind about favorites! Nice selection of unique teas. Like that they serve lattes with honey. Haven't tried the wine selection, but the 'Flight of (mini) Cupcakes' paired with wines will probably be my next order. Recommended wine pairings are also made on the crêpe menu. Quarters are definitely a little tight - but again, the ambiance is more cozy, than cramped. Had a fantastic time catching up with my best friend T over lunch last week, but wouldn't plan to to visit during busy hours with a group bigger than three of four. Evenings at The Duck and Bunny are late with a more social/bar atmosphere. The owners are building a deck in the backyard, so there will be outdoor seating this summer.

    High yumminess factor, but the prices for the portions are on the high end ($10+ for a crepe is verging on ridiculous in my book). If you eat out in large part for its entertainment value and want cute ambiance, this place might fit the bill.

  • Mister Chub S.

    I DUCKING LOVE THIS PLACE! First of all, there's a cupcake bar that's constantly being filled with freshly baked cupcakes in regular and mini varieties. My absolute favorite is the Portuguese sweet bread cupcake. Yeah, that happened and it's delish. Secondly, it's flipping adorable in there. It's a small place that's posh without being snotty. The room with the cupcake bar has white leather booths, a fireplace, handsome lighting fixtures, lots of crown molding and did I mention a cupcake bar?! The staff are very accommodating, friendly and an attractive bunch (who said that?) Great food all around. I've had their finger sandwiches, scones, breads and lots of cupcakes and I've never been disappointed. They also have a large selection of teas and espresso drinks.

    A snuggery is a "cozy and comfortable place," such as The Duck and Bunny on the east side of Providence. I was lucky enough to spend part of my Saturday afternoon here this past weekend with a British-born friend who swears the high tea service here is the best she's had in the states, and at the best price ($18 for the whole shebang)! While the tea tasting aspect of my experience at the Swan's Cafe in Boston was incomparable and I would recommend it over and over again to anyone who loves tea as much as I do, the overall experience here (and the food especially) was a lot better than what we were offered (at almost twice the price!) in Boston. The Duck and Bunny really is as cozy as its name suggests. A sign above the menu stand tells customers to take one and seat themselves, while a basket of fluffy white blankets beneath invites visitors to curl up and stay awhile. It also boasts three fireplaces, free wi-fi, funky chandeliers, giant armchairs, white rustic decor with light gray striped walls, fresh sunflowers in tall glasses, a cupcake bar, Victorian-style paintings of ducks and bunnies, and more. One of the owners is an interior designer, and you can tell when you walk in here and are met with a sense of comfort that you just can't place. Somehow, you feel at ease to grab one of those blankets, find a chair, order some tea, a couple cupcakes, and make yourself comfortable, literally. The teapots are all white but shaped differently, making each person's tea experience a little unique. Also, you are less likely to confuse your tea pot with your neighbor's :) I love the whole matching, but mismatching aspect of it. Another draw (probably the biggest) is their cupcake selection. They have several varieties daily, in both regular and mini sizes, and in addition to serving tea and coffee, they have wine and beer, and even suggest pairings with each of their many crepes (in case you need something a little stronger than tea, haha)! After perusing the menu extensively, I opted for probably the most obvious choice for my first visit here: the High Tea, which is served all day! It's $18 per person and includes a selection of sandwiches, scones with jam (locally produced) and Devonshire cream (imported from the good ol' UK), mini-cakes and sweets, and a pot of tea. We also decided to split an order of bacon-wrapped dates, because how can you not order bacon-wrapped dates when they're on a menu? You tell me. My friend ordered the Rachel and Monica, which is one of their many humorously-named crepes, this one filled with spinach, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomato. The food was all realllllly good. I loved the chewy-crunchy-sweet-salty bacon-wrapped dates. They were done perfectly. The ridiculous array of food that accompanied my tea was almost too much to finish. I actually took some of my sweets home to finish later :) The sandwiches were made of super soft and fluffy wheat bread (no stale bread here), and each was perfect in its own way. The cucumber sandwich was light and fresh with a creamy herb butter beneath, adding just a touch of richness. The tuna salad was not overly fishy and just tasted simple and light. The turkey was actually a turkey salad with dried cranberries studded throughout, adding a hint of sweet-sour chewy texture. The sun-dried tomato cream was incredible, not overpowering, just a creamy hit of sun-dried tomato flavor, and topped with a fresh, juicy cherry tomato (probably my favorite!). The smoked salmon encased a generous filling of dill cream, and for someone who generally refers to dill as her least favorite herb, hands down, I loved it! The scone was moist and studded with dried fruits, and served with a rich and delicious Devonshire cream, a smooth chocolate-raspberry sauce and fresh strawberry preserves. It was the perfect assortment of scone toppings with a perfectly moist scone to boot. The mini cupcakes were both moist and delicious in their own right. I can't wait to try some of their other flavors. The meringues were light, fluffy, and chewy, just as they should be. No complaints here. Officially speaking, the Duck and Bunny has won my heart in ways that most men only dream :) If I had a purse big enough, I'd shove the entire high tea assortment into my bag and just eat it on the run, a fugitive from high tea Heaven. Their menu makes me sad that I don't live there, and can't eat there every day. I might camp out outside in an attempt to replicate the pure bliss I experienced here on Saturday every day of my life. I should be so lucky...

    This is another one of those places I hate to review because I don't want it to be "discovered" and get all crowded on me. It's on Wickenden though, so it's only a matter of time. This "snuggery" is so cute it might make you sick. It's got three rooms, the first two of the three are the cutest. They're all adorned with mirrors and cushions and pillows and all that. Oh and fireplaces, who doesn't like a good fireplace? So once you've gotten over how darn cute this place is, you take a look at the menu and you've got cupcakes, beer, wine, cheese and fruit platters, little appetizers and crepes. Now, when you think crepes, you think breakfast food. Not here... there's one called The Lincoln, or something and it's like a fancy ham sandwhich in a crepe. They all sound amazing. Also, they have bacon wrapped dates. 'nuff said. Super cool about this place though, if you're into tea, is that for $3 you get a whole pot of tea. Mine filled by cup three times. I got the pear pomegranate and it was soooooooo yummy. I also got a "Sangria" iced tea to go when I left, which is basically just a fruity tea of some sort and that wasn't too bad. As for the cupcakes... First off, if you're going to get a cupcake, get the red velvet. It's totally the superior of all of their wacky cupcakes. If I had to tell you one not to get, it's one of their buttermilk cupcakes, because they taste and feel like cornbread. Other than that, sample away! The cupcakes are on the seriously small side for $3, you could eat one in just one bite if you really wanted to. But, the red velvet is awesome, so I'll keep getting them. I just won't be sharing.

    If you ever want to feel like a Dinsey princess trapped in a kitchy novella with slightly absurd caricatures of 1920s decor, come to the Duck and Bunny. You'll sit in your Grandmother's tea parlor where something just isn't quite right. It's not dark, dank or dreary, but there's something slightly gauche with the pristine white booths and the shimmering chandelier. It's all just a little too perfect. Grab a delicious cup of tea - choose from a loose leaf list as long as Pinocchio's lying schnoze. Indulge in a cupcake worthy of Alice's beckoning call to "EAT ME." These cupcakes are extraordinary. The cakes are moist - some are even filled with such delicacies as Nutella or salted caramel. The frostings are killer amazing - try the cream cheese frosting on the Red Velvet cup cake. It's got a vague essence of cream cheese with the texture and density of freshly fallen snow. The crepes are fine, but honestly you can skip these and eat another cupcake.

    The place is honestly adorable but TOO SMALL. They have fit in way too many tables and it is super cramped and uncomfortable. We got there and waited like 15 minutes and NOBODY acknowledged us. We just stood there - in the hallway and kept on getting in people's way because there is no proper waiting area. We had to act like scavengers to find a table and that too they took 10 minutes to check if we could have it. By the time our food came - we had been there 40 minutes. I don't know what their excuse was but the staff was just inattentive and bordering on rude. Their attitude really turned me off from the place - which is sad because the food was honestly delicious and the cupcakes were so yummy! Will probably come and get take out but do not wish to dine in again.

    The whole point in coming here is the cupcakes! They always have different ones to try and the good part is you can get a mini size or the regular big size. They always taste fresh and always super yummy. The decor is my second favorite thing about the D&B. It looks like you're walking into someone's apartment with really good taste. The walls are striped and the furniture is really cool. They also have really yummy, creative cocktails ( in addition to wine and beer ). I haven't tried any of their other food besides the cup cakes but I hear it's all very delicious. I definitely recommend coming to check this place out!

    I cannot believe I have not reviewed this place yet! What is not to love about a snuggery that offers crepes, cupcakes, and cocktails? It is the sort of place you could spend hours canoodling (I am bringing this word back, people) in a comfy corner booth or table with one of their signature cocktails or great choices from their lovely wine and beer list. Do miss the Mazzy Star or Distinguished Lincoln for savory crepes!! I also love the Chubby Ella, filled with banana and Nutella goodness. But my favorite is the cupcakes- get there early because they tend to run out! The banana Nutella and red velvet are to die for- but the salted caramel and the vegan chocolate cupcakes are fab as well. Whether taking mom out for brunch or canoodling (that is right, I said it again) with that special someone over late night nibbles, the Duck and Bunny is a wonderful little gem!

    Wow, I can not say enough good things about this place. We like to poke fun at it's cute sub-name, "A snuggery," but the food and ambiance is awesome. It's a very comfy and cozy place to come and chill and hang out for some tea or some beers at night. We've been here twice for brunch and had the cupcakes both times. Everything is made/baked there and you can definitely tell. Delicious and filling. A little on the expensive side, but its worth it. They use local ingredients when they can. One significant thing that will change your life is the scones. YOU MUST TRY TO SCONES. Best we've had in our lives. Seriously guys, tell us your baking secrets!

    Really disappointed with our experience this time. My husband & I used to love coming here in the past but that has changed today. The food is still very good but the level of service that we had been used to in the past has dwindled. Our server took our order and then came back to "make sure she put in what we ordered". She added one item (pomme frites which neither one of us ordered) and the told us there was no need to repeat the drink orders b/c she "remembered those". Well, hate to say this, but she didn't remember those either. We then waited and waited and then waited some more for our food to arrive. Everyone else around us (all of whom had ordered after we did) received their food. We did eventually get our order though. The best part is when the bill arrived....yep, she charged us for the pomme frites that we never ordered or received. We did bring this to her attention and she managed a half-hearted "sorry". The prices aren't an issue but that lack of service is.

    I have now visited the Duck and Bunny on several occasions: drinks, tea, weekday lunch, and attempted brunch, so here is my summation: Overall, really cute. It is the epitome of a 'snuggery'. I had visited the space when it was Romanza, when it was the Blue Elephant - and I'll admit that I was resistant to change, but I have come around to the modern-victortian theme and absolutely adore the outdoor seating on a warm enough day! I cannot comment on their trademark cupcakes - which seem to get mixed reviews - I like savory over sweet. The lunches I've had were very good - a mix of salads, crepes, and sandwiches which are well prepared. Beverages are impressive. Not a full bar, but if you enjoy vino - you'll love it. I've sat at the bar after work to enjoy a cup of tea and watch others work on their dissertation (my guess) while sipping Earl Grey, a glass of Pinot while chatting with friends, and I've incited cocktail envy with my selection of a champagne cocktail when my friend only ordered a Sav. However, why only 3 stars? Their service is spotty. Not bad - but spotty. Coming in for brunch we were slowly greeted by 3 separate servers. There was no name taken for a wait until the 3rd approached us after we had been waiting 20 minutes. There was a lack of communication that I noticed between the staff and to us - so after 30 minutes and several, "your table will be ready in just a minute" - 5, 10 minutes later - nada. We left. It is a shame. I've had similar oversights when sitting at tables after work enjoying cocktails - it seems like the staff don't know who has what table and a revolving door of servers are either checking on you or forgetting whose turn it is. Bar is usually pretty on top of it - but I guess they sort of have to be.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Providence. A nice change of pace from your typical sandwich and fries kind of places. I'm a huge fan of their chocolate salted caramel cupcakes, eggs benedict and the Rachel and Monica crepe. The atmosphere is super cute and cozy, especially the patio when it's warm out. So in love with this place!

  • Margi K.

    Their cupcakes are divine! I have a bit of a sweet tooth and their cupcakes, especially the mocha cupcake, definitely fulfills my cravings for sweets. I also tried other food from their menu, like the Thomas Henry crepe (which is basically a breakfast crepe) and the Afternoon Tea (which comes with tea sandwiches and scones). They taste great! The general atmosphere of this place is very cute. They have parody paintings of famous artworks that incorporate ducks and bunnies. It's rather fascinating. In addition, the backyard patio is perfect for dining during spring/summer. I would suggest you check it out if you go there during spring or summer. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey. But I think it's still worth the price.

    I love the Duck & Bunny. I've only eaten there for a meal once; I usually go for tea and cupcakes. It's so relaxing and everything tastes so good. You're usually sitting right next to other people you don't know so if you're cool with that, then definitely go here. It's a hidden jewel in Providence. Also a cool bar scene at night, serves beer and wine.

    Duck and Bunny is one of my favorite spots in Providence, and I have lived here for 18 years so that is saying a lot. It is hidden away in a gorgeous looking house on Wickenden with many different beautifully decorated and cozy rooms inside as well as an outdoor garden eating area for the summer. They even have cozy blankets and candlelight in the winter. The service is great and the food is off the charts. It is adorable food too, if food can be adorable. However it can be a bit pricey, but it is well worth it. Their crepes (both sweet AND savory) are AMAZING. You also can't go wrong with a decadent exotic fruit plate and a pot of tea from their vast selection. Also, it is the only places I know of to get afternoon tea in the area and it is the absolute cutest. You can't forget about the mini cupcakes! Freshly made with new flavors daily! It is definitely a picture perfect place to catch up with friends. It truly is a wonderful "snuggery".

    I have given the D&B several tries and unfortunately cannot muster up a better rating than 3 stars... Cons: slow, inexperienced service. I wish I could chalk this up to an off-day for a server (having been one, I know what it's like to have a crappy day) but I honestly cannot say I've ever had exceptional service from any of the waitstaff. I've been ignored, forgotten, I've had experiences where the servers were downright rude. I will say however that the owners are very nice. Cons: I love cupcakes, and I've had a few that were good, however 99.9% of the time, they are stale :( very disappointing Pros: the atmosphere is great, love the fireplaces, free wi-fi, super cozy spot Pros: the remainder of the food on the menu is consistently good. the fries are AMAZING. Pros: the tea selection is great, as is the wine/proseco, beer, etc. Pros: they are open late Overall: ehh. I would recommend for a late afternoon tea/lunch. You will wait forever for everything when it's busy. As far as the cupcakes go: I have found better places in Provi for cupcakes.

    If you're over 6ft. tall, try not to go inside. Imagine Alice in Wonderland meets a baroque music video made by an eccentric 4-year-old, meets low ceilings and superb cupcakes. Honestly, the interior of the Duck and Bunny makes me nervous about possibly having a seizure, but their cupcakes are out of this world, as are their cocktails. I took a friend from NY here when she visited and the first words out of her mouth were "What IS this place?" She then proceeded to eat 2 giant cupcakes and drink 3 cocktails with muddled fruit and herbs. During the summer, they have a really great back patio that's perfect for lounging with friends on a warm evening. The patio does NOT look like Alice in fever dream Wonderland, which is its other plus.

  • Deborah Y.

    This place is ADORABLE. It is such a great place to go for brunch with a girlfriend. It has this warm cottage type feel and the interior is so cute. Their menu is basically salads and different types of crepes, but it is all fantastic. The truffle fries here are delicious! I still crave them. After a light, but satisfying meal, you should definitely check out their desserts. When I went I got 3 kinds of cupcakes: red velvet, a pumpkin one (a special at the time), and one other one that I cannot remember )=. Sweets with a nice cup of coffee is the perfect end to a delightful meal.

    Firstly, the atmosphere is comfortable and intimate. An old house on the East Side is just the place to have a restaurant, and this is it. Friendly staff, and I've said it before....goes a long way. I've done brunch and appetizers and drinks but I will definitely be back for more. Everything was tasty and well presented, our waitress was down to earth and friendly. Anyone who takes to the time to know her menu and make recommendations is top of my list. Bartenders are friendly (it makes all the difference) and drinks are great. To speak to the size and the seating, it is a small space, and there is just so much you can do short of knocking down a wall. So for the gripes about that.....find a bigger restaurant!

  • Caroline S.

    3.5-star average rating? O HELLZ NO. If anything deserves 5 stars, it's the D&B. I don't care if your crepe was too soggy or the place was crowded with hipsters last time you went, the Duck is still a solid 5. This place is downright outlandish in its originality; after traveling the country far and wide since living in pvd last year, I have yet to come across a venue that even nears Ducky's atmosphere. Part bar, part lounge, part tea room, part luncheonette, part French cafe, part zebra, the D&B is a chameleon that seamlessly blends the elements of comfort & style.

    Really cute place with yummy cupcakes and inventive crepes. I went on a Friday night around 7:30 pm on a double date. I was a bit apprehensive at first because let's face it - places this trendy and cute tend to be a blatant rip off. I'm not a fan of Providence and all it's uber trendy expensive hipster hang outs but I tried to go in with an open mind and it paid off. The four of us ordered 2 large pots of tea, but since they were out of the large pots themselves we got extra strongly brewed tea bags in the normal pots with free hot water refills. Not optimal, but an acceptable substitution. We tried the pomegranate pear tisane and our friends got the decaf earl grey cream. The former was very fruity and mixed well with a bit of sugar and the latter with a splash of cream and half packet of sugar was divine. We also each tried a different crepe. Prices are reasonable for what you get (remember, this IS Providence) but I wouldn't recommend coming here when starving. I had a big lunch in the afternoon so I was happy with my portion and what I paid for my dish (the Wyatt-Reuben). It was filled with smoked turkey, mozzarella, and fresh spinach leaves with the raspberry coulis drizzled on top. If I had to point out one slight con with my dish, it would be that there was too much spinach in the crepe. Since mine also came with a small fancy leaf salad on the side, I think they could have 'beefed' it up with more meat and cheese. My boyfriend had the Ultimate New York System Crepe - which was four small hot dogs wrapped in crepes with meat sauce, chopped onions, mustard and celery salt over them. It was pretty good, and a great nod to the RI food culture. Our friends ordered off the the seasonal menu - one of them chose the Crepiccini Bolognese while the other went with the Pork LoMein. The neat thing with these two dishes were the crepe 'noodles' - a crepe thinly sliced to mimic fettuccine noodles. The Bolognese dish was billed as being topped with beef in a cream sauce. It really looked like the same meat sauce as the New York System crepe had and the cream sauce was a bit more mild than I would have expected. I also thought there might be pieces of mushroom in the sauce but that was not the case. The pick of the night was the Pork LoMein - again, it had the crepe noodles but added sliced pork meatballs, scallion, and carrot in a delicious teriyaki sauce. The meatballs were soft and delicious and the teriyaki sauce was insanely tasty! Finally, at the end of your meal you are invited to take a little cupcake 'tour'. At the bar there is a glass top section with the cupcake drawer built into it. There were a bunch of flavors - banana nutella, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate salted caramel, carrot cake, hot chocolate, red velvet, double chocolate and even more. They always have at least one or two vegan options if that's your thing, as well as a gluten free cupcake. In the end, we went with two chocolate salted caramel, a double chocolate and a red velvet. The salted caramel one was so luscious - a chocolate cake with chocolate whipped frosting drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with sea salt - but I was very happy with my red velvet. The cake itself was good, but what made the experience was the airy and tart cream cheese frosting. Seriously, it was almost the texture of a mousse! All in all, it came in about $70 for the four of us. I was pleasantly surprised with the cost and would love to return for a lunch or afternoon snack sometime. They offer a baker's dozen of their cupcakes for $30 too, which wouldn't be a bad option if you need some sweets for a get together.

    Ugh, such a damn let down. I was so excited to try here because of how cute the interior looks and the supposed amazing cupcakes. Well, the only thing decent about this place is how adorable it is. That's it. We sat outside, which was nice on a perfect weather day, but our waitress was beyond terrible. After taking our very simple order of 2 cupcakes and 2 drinks, she proceeds to talk to another table about nonsense for a good 15 MINUTES before bringing the order in. We then waited another 10 minutes for our drinks, and I had to actually ask her for the cupcakes. While the lavender buttercream was good, it arrived with a dent in the side of it, and the brownie cupcake was stale beyond belief. When I told her that she told me something to the effect that the sugar makes the cupcake hard? FOR REALS? Disappointment all around.

    Awful. Just came from here with my boyfriend. We went for dessert after having a great dinner at Tokyo. After waiting in the teeny doorway for at least 5 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us, we were told there "might" be a table for us. After people crowding the bar finally moved, we decided to just sit there instead of "maybe" waiting for a table. So we were given menus. And waited. And waited. And waited. Then 3 girls came in, loudly traipsed up to the bar, and got cupcakes to go. Being served before us. Finally, Nick the bartender came over and told us there was only one of the cupcakes we wanted left (almond joy) as the other got sold to the girl who cut in front of us. Grr. Fine. We ordered the last one and I also ordered the "sweet baby James" Once it finally came out about ten minutes later I was surprised to see strawberries in a burrito. Yes folks, strawberries. In a burrito. Nothing more. Not a thick, mistaken crepe. A tortilla. It was one of the worst things I have ever tasted. There was no sweet in this baby James. There was no flavor, no taste, just strawberries. In a burrito. Nick never came over to see how our food was, nor our drinks (Guinness float for him, mediocre and a Lindsey for me.) When we finally called him over, he apologized for serving the other girls first, said it was "sometimes hard to manage" with all the confusion and was stunned by our hatred towards our baby James. Thankfully, he did not try to make us pay for it and we left. The almond joy cupcake was delicious. Make more for busy days like Friday and Saturday. Stick with what you're good at duck and bunny- cupcakes.

    We love it here, it's intimate, low lit and cozy..what can be better? This was our first time eating here besides cupcakes and drinks. The food was delish! The truffle fries are a must! It wasn't overly filling, yet plenty of food for the price. The cupcakes I find to be a little dry..the frosting on the cupcake is tastier than the cake itself. The food is better than the cupcakes and the food sure is good.

    I had not read any reviews of the DB before dining. I just knew I had to check Yelp after my experience. Someone back in August said they would wait until they heard the service had improved. Well, it's now February and all is the same at the DB, apparently. We were stuck in the cramped corner of a room with another group cramped in the opposite window. When a couple came in they were sat riiight next to us on the wall...by the windows. So there's a room full of tables with the only people in there right next to each other. Maybe they wanted us to chat? It's like going into a movie theater populated with one person and sitting right next them. Point is, apparently people are to SIT BY THE WINDOW. It looks busy that way? Even better, we had three waitresses and no explanation or warning that the first would not be returning. The first returned to seat another table but didn't acknowledge us, or the fact that she never returned to take our order. Someone happened to be lighting the fireplace (which is candle lit) and thought we looked decimated over in the corner and decided to take our order. It was nice of her, but the relationship we built would be short-lived. The food was interesting, yet pricey for the quantity. $10 for a crepe, but it was done well. Decor is not cozy, it's like being in a mod version of Alice in Wonderland. Interesting, yes. Cozy, no. They definitely went out on a limb.

    Honestly, 3.5. I am just going to do a succinct little review for you; there are enough verbose ones on this page already. Atmosphere: adorable. Quirky. Fun. The kind of décor I like to sit around in once in a while to feel fancy. Crepes: delicious. The Distinguished Lincoln blew me away. No skimping on the fillings or the flavor. Cupcakes: have not ever been moist. I've had a couple both times I've visited, and they have been delicious in flavor but dry. Not impossibly, "oh-ick-I-can't-eat-this" dry, but not as moist as you'd want. Definitely not worth $2.75 apiece for the "maxi" (which is a regular sized cupcake.) PB&B: Toasting the Portugese bread makes it a very hard sandwich to eat, even with a fork. It doesn't hold together well at all. There are better ways to do a PB&B (like, I don't know, GRILLING IT?!) than toasting thick bread for a base. Waitresses: bored. Uninterested. Hipsters, I suppose. None of them have ever been particularly good at their jobs, paying attention, knowing their products, etc. The first time I was there, a couple of women were trying to get information on gluten-free options, and the waitress couldn't really answer them, despite conversing with the manager or whoever was on duty above her that day. The one I had on my last visit an open-back dress on and no shirt underneath, just a bra hanging out. I mean, it was a cute bra, but it was still awkward. Tables: too bloody small. If I order a pot of tea and my companion orders a latte, and they're both in 8oz cups on saucers, there shouldn't be a problem fitting a couple of plates on the table. But there is. Things always have to be moved and rearranged. There should really be fewer large tables rather than a bunch of small ones.

    Love this place. Great on a weeknight because weekends get a lil busy... you can get a whole pot of tea and a mini cupcake for $5 and sit + talk for hours. The place is super cozy + beautifully decorated. They will even give you a blanket to snuggle with. Amazing. This is one of those places where you don't go for a full meal, but rather a snack, a drink + sit for as long as you like. They have a bar + lots of tea choices. You can't go wrong.

    I was in Providence briefly for an interview and stumbled across this place looking for a spot to study because I knew they had free Wifi and coffee. I was very pleasantly surprised when I walked in to see the adorable decor. The music, lighting and ambiance were extremely comfortable (I can see why they call it a "snuggery.") The waiter James was awesome and gave me help deciding what to order. I had an amazing Vanilla Chai Latte (I ended up ordering two because it was so good!). I also had the truffle pomme frites which did not disappoint. I even met some very interesting and fun people because the seating is so intimate. I didn't get much work done, because I had too much fun! I would definitely go back.

    I can't believe I never updated this... the Duck and Bunny gets better every time I go. Get the Portuguese sweetbread cupcake if they have it (its outrageously good). The other big thing I will note is that it will be summer again, I am almost sure of it. When that time does come go to the DnB and make use of their outdoor garden/patio/backyard area. Its superb and an amazing way to while away a summer night.

    I have been mulling this review over for some time, because I was too upset to have it come out right when it all happened, so here goes. I have been to The Duck and Bunny several times for lunch when I pass through town on business, which is pretty often. The first time, I loved it, because there was one male employee behind the bar who was very kind to me and the food was great. So I decided to make it a regular stop on the rotation. The next two visits were pretty bad. I'll elaborate on my final visit. There were two female employees who were gabbing away and ignored me as I stood in the doorway until I finally asked to be seated or even just look at a menu while they chatted. One of them said, "Sorry, didn't notice you there. Are you alone?", which is maybe the worst way to great a solo customer. So I sat down and waited for someone to take my order. And waited. I was trying to relax, and accept maybe this was the style at a place like this, until I saw that the table of three who came in after me had already been served their lunch! Finally, I just went up and asked if I could order and they apologized for forgetting about me all alone in the corner. To add insult to injury, the special I ordered (an "asian" style crepe noodle dish) tasted like it came straight out of an Annie Chun boxed mix. Needless to say, I had to walk up to get my own check. Walked up to get my change back. And said goodbye to myself as I felt like an invisible person as I was ignored once again. As a traveling businesswoman, I eat alone almost most of my lunches, and I don't believe I have ever been treated so poorly. Based on the way I was treated, I don't think I'll be back, solo or not.

    I really wanted to like this place, based on the food and drinks, but it's very uncomfortable. We were seated in the bar area, a party of three squished on the bench with a tiny table. Aside from the overwhelming feeling of claustrophobia, there were flies everywhere. I felt too dirty to eat here. There were numerous times where I had to swap the fruit flies off my sandwich. Eventually, I just gave up and asked my mom and sister if we can leave. Aside from that, the place is charming. It has a romantic, tea-party setting and the drinks were great. Maybe I'll try here again next time I'm in town.

    I had high expectations for the D&B, particularly considering my fondness for rabbits. I do, unfortunately, fall into that stereotype of pet owner who cannot get enough of their particular kind of pet. But I digress. I love the potential in this place. The decor is fabulous, and their concept of a "snuggery" with clever crêpes and cupcakes could be la crème de la crème, but there are a few missing ingredients. We patronized the D&B with another couple, and the dining room was so warm and crowded that we opted to enjoy the cool, late Summer dusk in their back garden. This thankfully made the long wait for our food much more tolerable. The Dougie Boy spoke to my soul - herb crêpe purses of smoked salmon with capers and crème fraîche. My boyfriend's order of a Distinguished Lincoln (Black Forest ham, Gruyère, and mustard) was giggle-and-drool-inducing. Our companions' choices were a Creperito (a crêpe burrito) and pork lo mein made with crêpe noodles. The ingenuity is truly astounding. I have to say I was personally disappointed with the food. Because I am a big fan of these flavors for brunch, I was excited about the cream-cheese-and-lox idea adapted as a dinner dish. I am annoyed that they fail to mention its temperature on the menu. The entire dish was cold - fridge cold - the "herb" crêpe was bland and chewy, and the capers overpowered the taste of the whole thing. The least they could have done was pan fry the bottoms to replicate the temperature and flavor of a hot, toasted bagel. I chose not to make a fuss and ate it anyway, but I was disappointed in my food. To be fair, I was the only one who was. Having been dissatisfied with my entree, I was ready for an exciting cupcake. I chose a peanut butter chocolate truffle, and when it finally arrived (how freakin' long does it take to grab cupcakes?!), my disappointment reached its climax. Dry cake, greasy, grainy frosting... ugh. Seriously, I have had better cupcakes from a grocery chain bakery. One of my dining companions also got a cupcake that was supposed to have chocolate chips in it. While she said it was tasty (I have to qualify that my standards are higher than hers when it comes to sweets - I am not a fan of Little Debbie), she also complained that the chocolate pieces were undetectable. Though the service was very slow, the atmosphere rocked and we had a great time. But considering these folks want to be known for their crêpes and cupcakes, they have some work to do.

    My two major food groups exsist in near perfection at this wonderland... Sugar & wine!! Red velvet cupcakes are the most amazing thing you'll put in your mouth & their wine selection is well thought out & compliments the menu nicely. Just walking into the place you feel like you've entered a modern/less cluttered version of NYC's serendipity w/out the apathetic staff. I can't imagine anyone not liking it here.

    I love this place! They have great cupcakes! The crepes are really good too. It's especially nice in the summer because they have outside seating. The last time I went, it was extremely crowded, but the staff really did a great job. It wasn't a perfect experience, but they were very quick with service recovery. I will definitely be going back.

    I admit, I think I had as much fun reading about the Duck and Bunny from afar then I did actually visiting. Don't take that to mean that the quality of the food is in any way sub-par, or that there is anything wrong with the establishment,. In fact, all I really mean by that is the term 'Snuggery' is one of the single greatest words I've heard coined recently. In fact nothing but the idea of eating at a 'Snuggery' named "The Duck and Bunny" kept me sane throughout hours of lines, security checkpoints, snoring companions of airplanes, days of sleeplessness and a wedding. I still have a bit of trouble reading the words 'Duck, Bunny. and Snuggery" without giggling a little. They might be the three cutest words ever put together. Ok, so it isn't just the name, although it does help; the Duck and Bunny makes their position on local foods very apparent from their website, and have a very interesting menu on a very nicely designed website. Straight off a six hour plane trip, I needed some good food and caffeine in me, or else the little daemons of insanity that were gnawing at the corners of my reality might gain purchase and start their invasion in earnest. I recall ordering an awful lot of food, there was a cheese plate, and a few espresso drinks, and a crepe, or maybe two. I might of had a traveling companion. I think I did, and we both ate like royalty. The espresso drinks were very well done; I'm always very happy to see non-career baristas taking the time to make a really good espresso drink rather than just an acceptable one. The food is exactly as delicious as it looks and sounds. The aesthetics of the location, which I confess to not noticing until about halfway through my third course and fourth cappuccino were incredible. The owner managed to tie together a lot of vintage and modern furniture in a wide variety of styles into a single coherent (if eclectic) collection. It's rare that the style of a place can leave a strong impression, but I have never been in a place that had more thought and effort put into the design. Every detail was attended to in order to create the look of a snuggery. Until I heard of the Duck and Bunny, I had no idea what a snuggery (giggle) was'; upon setting foot, I new straight away that this is what a snuggery (giggle) should look like. And all that was before I saw the garden. The garden is simply impeccably charming beyond words. It really must be seen to be fully appreciated. The Duck and Bunny is somewhat remarkable. Before hearing about it, I had no idea what a 'Snuggery' was. and now I'm not quite sure how I lived without.

    Went here for breakfast yesterday, and I'm still in awe of how perfect it was. It was THE cutest place I've ever been to eat; "snuggery" is the perfect description for it. There are feathers adorning the ceiling and little silver accessories everywhere, as well as cute duck and bunny ornaments (as you'd expect). It's very small, but they make excellent use of the space they have. I ordered a sencha green tea latte, which they said they'd never received an order for before, but it was extremely good. I also got a crepe with sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, and spinach...holy god, it was delicious. My boyfriend got the french toast and was equally impressed. Of course, we couldn't leave without cupcakes. We got 2: banana nutella and peanut butter cup, and I'm pretty much drooling just typing about them. The banana one had nutella filling in the center, and the peanut butter one had an actual Reese's baked into it. This place has a cuteness and comfort all its own. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

    Came here twice last weekend. Drinks on Friday and dinner and drinks on Satruday. Friday: super packed around 10pm went in and had to leave and go back because there were no seats. Had great service and I had the Champagne cocktail with the mixed berriers and rose water. Pretty good with a flower aftertaste. Saturday: Sat at the bar, went around 7:30 pm. OMG get the french fries! SOOO good! Some were a bit overcooked for my liking but overall they were awesome. Little bit of cheese, herbs, and truffle oil. Can't go wrong there. I had the Crepeadilla (?) with 4 cheeses, tomatos, and scallions, and creme fresh. Meh. I expected it to be more warm and have more of a crunch to it but nope. WAY too much cheese. Not my fave, I ate around the center because of the amount of cheese. I would like it if they had used different cheeses maybe or a little bit less. My date had the burrito crepe with ham. His was really good. His also came with a small salad which I put on top of my crepe. I literally drank my way through the champagne cocktails. I had the mojito (awesome). lavalampbp (really really good), and a kind of mimosa. All were awesome as usual. My only complaint about the place is that the drinks are pricy. at 9$ a cocktail and 5$ a beer my date and I racked up nearly $50. However I love this place so much that it is worth it. And the bartenders do such a great job of mixing these cocktails. CUPCAKES: omg we each had a mini cupcake- 4 each: Red Velvet- delish, typical red velvet. Carrot cake: so MOIST, if there were nuts in it i did not taste them (i hate nuts), had a nice hint of spice and the cream cheese frosting was awesome. Espresso: a must get for coffee lovers. you can def taste it in there with a hint of chocolate. Banana Nutella: O M G SOOOO GOOD! Banana cake with nutella in the middle with a buttercream frosting and nutella drizzled on top. Holy crap my fave one so far. You must try this if you come! Service is great and super friendly. Chatted with the bartender and other waitresses and ended up hanging out for a few hours. Place was consistantly busy but we were well attended to. the BEST place to go on a date or out to dinner with a girlfriend or two or just out for a drink. also Men take note- dont be weary of the name and not go in, LOTS of women at this place. Takes reservations for parties of 6 or more. If you want dinner go early.

    i am still dreaming of the banana nutella cupcakes! The supreme combination of frosting, banana cake and just a touch of nutella = to die for. And the staff that was friendly and smiled way more than they needed to for what I definitely was expecting to be a hipsteresque café experience. (What, actual patience and smiles from a server at a trendy tea bar?! Unheard of. We were, of course, in from Boston, so maybe that explains my surprise) I tried several cupcakes and ogled my friends' delicious looking crêpes... everything was yummy. It is eeeeensy but it's a positively charming spot for mid-afternoon tea/coffee/snack/recharge.

    love this tea house! such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere! perfect for a night cap or to catch up with a girlfriend! they offer more than just coffee, tea and cuppy cakes!!! crepes are sooo delish and so are their appetizers! the setting varies per room and they even have an outdoor patio. the name itself, is perfect because you wouldn't expect this place to have such much to it! you will literally sit here for hours, just chit chatting. thats the atmosphere i love.

    I just love the randomness and quaintness of this place, from paintings of bunnies and ducks all over the walls to Alice in Wonderland high-backed chairs, this place scores a 5++ in character and originality. I had been there twice before, once for brunch (yummy but very crowded and cramped) and once for a a big girl's hot chocolate and a red velvet cupcake (heaven). My boyfriend and I took my parents there on Saturday night after dinner and it was surprisingly dead. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly, even though all we ordered was coffee and tea. There was a great selection of classic rock playing and we had a cozy window seat in the front near the bar. All in all, a perfect place to end the evening.

    BEST dessert EVER. The first night we went there we had the worst waitress ever. She was so flaky but rude too. BUT the dessert was so delicious we had to come back and try again!!! This time we had a waiter and he was awesome. The crepes once again were spectacular- and I don't even have a sweet tooth! Get the drunken raspberry hot chocolate- it'll be the best bangarang hot chocolate you've ever had. This is my new favorite spot. Oh, and if you've come after dinner- don't bother looking at the cupcake menu--- they've probably sold out of most.

    Excellent food poorly served. or... Servers so nice you just can't stay mad at them. I can't decide on a title for this. Here's how it went down: 2 of us walk in on their busiest time of the weekend- they told us they were cleaning off our table. 15 minutes later the party of 4 that walked in after us was seated. There was a small exchange that started with my GF asking how long it would be until our table was ready and ended with the woman who would go on to be our server suggesting we ask guests of said table how long they planned on staying. Seriously. That just happened. We were hungry enough that we decided to stay (knowing we faced an inevitable wait at any other place) and some 5-10 minutes later they politely crammed us into a "snug" corner, with my poor GF dragging her backside through the neighboring couple's salad. No harm done. The decor of The Duck and Bunny is absolutely charming. It looks like a half a season of Trading Spaces was shot here. Every bit of the space has the same eclectic polish with the highlight being their replicated masterpiece paintings, all of which now have ducks and/or bunnies. My seat was a bench by the window; and when I say "by" I actually mean "the windowsill was where my back is supposed to go." Here's what I saw happening ALL around me: there was never a time when every single table around me wasn't waiting on something- empty plates taken away, a check to be delivered, empty drinks being refilled, to be greeted... you name it. The ONLY thing that seemed to happen consistently was the kitchen delivered plate after plate of very well prepared dishes in what seemed like the blink of an eye. It is an absolute slap-in-the-face to the cooks for great food to be overshadowed by such abysmal service. My Florentine style benedict dish was excellent, and (luckily for me) needed nothing else, period. Unlike my coffee, which needed milk, which I never got. The waitress never stopped being apologetic and kind, and that's probably what saved this rating from 2 stars. Of course, I had to let her know I was dissatisfied by leaving substandard gratuity, which, for me is %15, and thus, she probably doesn't know how dissatisfied we really were, if at all. I will probably go back. It will not be when they are busy.

    Last night I made my first visit to the snuggery which was long overdue. I arranged a special wine pairing dinner with Jessica, the owner, for my wine group. meetup.com/the-providenc… We had a choice of crepe and mini cupcake each paired with a wine. I had the Distinguished Lincoln which had smokey ham, nutty gruyere and it was drizzled with caramel mustard...all I can say is YUM! I also tried a bite of the Rachel and Monica which had spinach, goat cheese, and sundried tomatoes- also delicious. Mine was paired perfectly with a Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc. Dessert was a choice of mini cupcakes and a sweet or dry Cupcake reisling (how fitting) or Dutch chocolate Raspberry Chocovine....I choose the latter and it was amazing. I think Jessica and her husband accomplished was they set out to achieve...this is a great cozy place to go with friends or a warm place to snuggle up to someone special. I am hoping to make many more return visits to this special place!

    Strongly awesome cupcakes, amazing decor, wonderful menu with great suggested pairings and passable service. Our small party of five arrived and was promptly snugged into a corner in the room with the duck painting (creepy yet adorable). Our waitress was nearly as whimsical as the charming decor, wearing some sort of backwards kangaroo pouch on her back, which unfortunately was not a cutlery/napkin storage space. After we requested napkins, she took our drink order in a reasonable amont of time. The crepes came quick enough, and we went on to dessert-cupcakes! Overall, I'd recommend this place for its ambiance and quirky but delicious treats. Of the menu, this is what I sampled and my recommendations: The Dougie Boy- Two delicious salmon and caper filled crepes. Do not order if you are expecting an extremely filling meal...this brings you up to full if you're on a quarter tank. Pear Salad-My friend ordered this and I can't find the proper name on the website. Best dish I sampled. Amazing toasted pears sprinkled with goat cheese drizzled with dressing over mixed greens. 10 out of 10. Get it. Creperitto- A happy marriage of french cooking and Mexican fillings. Actually this is filling-this entre was a monster of a crepe. Highly recommend it. Champagne Cupcake drink- Not too much cupcake, just a pretty standard champagne. Not bad, but nothing worth discussing. Moving on... The Lavalamp- WONDERFUL. I lust after this Magners and framboise lambic creation. We even put it over a candle and stirred it up to watch it go. Entering and delcious. Banana Nutella cupcake-Forget the rest, this is the best. Double chocolate vegan- I was looking for a lighter cupcake, so I ordered this. Not bad, but not earth shatteringly wonderful either.

    I like the vibe and the specificity of this place; however, the cupcakes did not quite live up to their reputation. We ordered 4 different types and I really only enjoyed one of them. I am willing to give it another try because I like how different it is than any of the other places around it, but for now, I'm not all that impressed.

    I'm very conflicted about this place. Surely, the decor is as cutesy as it touts, but cozy is a kind exaggeration like the way I'd imagine a realtor to describe closets converted to studios in a NYC apartment hunt. This is to say, while the place as a particular aesthetic, it's cramped and I certainly didn't feel comfortable dining in the room where other patrons were waiting for tables. The wait was definitely the worst part about the Duck and Bunny, which I assumed would happen on a weekend during prime brunch hours but the waiting doesn't end after you wait for a table. We waited 15 minutes for water glasses, another 10 minutes for the waitress to take our order, waiting, waiting, and then when we were finally served, we had to wait for utensils. The shoddy service is what would keep me from coming back here as the waitstaff spoke about us like we were cattle that needed to be moved out, meanwhile, they weren't effectively handling the tables anyway. The food was good but nothing spectacular. My friend and I split the Eggs Benny with Smoked Salmon and the Vegan Carrot Pancakes. The salmon portions were generous and the hollandaise was quite flavorful but the potato pancakes were undercooked, cold, and soggy underneath the eggs. The Vegan Carrot Pancakes were nothing like I've ever tasted before and I'm still sorting out my feelings about it. Basically, the texture was more like a crumpet than anything and the cream cheese glaze tasted like melted down cupcake frosting. We got a few cocktails with names we didn't catch - one was champagne based with citrus and mint served in a mason jar. That one was quite good. Another was a bright purple (almost black) color served in a pint glass with mint and blackberry. Beware of this one. It was foul and tasted like sneaker soles. Not that I chew on my own shoes but I might've enjoyed that better than this drink. The best drink, hands down, was some sort of beer-cocktail creation the bartender made. It tasted like he mixed a lighter beer with some sort of wine or liqueur and had a purplish cloud atop its foaminess. Trés bien. Anyway, if you're going to the Duck and Bunny, definitely go at an off time. Go for drinks or desserts, not food. Go when it's pleasant outside so you can enjoy their adorable back patio. And go when you're feeling particularly leisurely with a high threshold for flightiness from your server. We arrived at 12:30 and didn't eat anything until 2:30 so I finally finally understand what 'hangry' means.

    Delicious crepes and the egg bun a duck with pesto and bacon on the potato latkes was amazing! Took my Mom there for lunch the other day and she couldn't get over how wonderful everything was and how adorable this gem of a restaurant is. We sat outside and had the sangria and the lavender prosecco cocktail and both were yum! Gets busy so get there early!

    This place has adorable decoration, and I love that they call their garden "The Snuggery". So cute. The food is eclectic and has a good variety. My gripe is that our servers never seem to be quite friendly enough to remember with a positive thought. And the food has taken way too long to be brought out sometimes. Salads should NOT take 30 minutes to toss. Otherwise, I like going here when I feel like going on a cute date.

    The Duck and Bunny... a Snuggery - How can you NOT Love it?!?! "snuggery: (snŭg'-rē) n. a cosy and comfortable place" The outside was already cute enough but then you walk in and fall in love with the decor & atmosphere. Outdoor seating was cute but during fall, it was a bit chilly so we moved inside. We actually sat at the cute hightop 2/4 seater right at the entry way, the only table in the room. It was cozy and secluded but you see all the people waiting - Luckily, no one stares haha. The staff is incredible and you will notice, they are jack/jill's of all trades, they do EVERYTHING. You see nothing but a blur of color as they whiz by, but if you call out, they are there to help in an instant. Drinks Coffee/Iced Honey Latte - Delicious! Brunch The Duck and Bunny Roll Smoked Salmon, herbed cream cheese, cucumber, scallion, served with spicy mayo - Yum! The presentation was Gorgeous! It was fun and easy to eat, although it was a good portion, I wish there was more. Eggs Bun-a-Duck A pair of poached eggs served with hollandaise on Olga's rosemary foccacia with Norwegian Smoked Salmon - This was really good, came with some greens. It was missing something, a carb on the side. Portuguese Sweet Bread French Toast Local sweet bread dipped in cinnamon (skipped the Maple berry compote/Banana's foster with pecans to save $2, this was a side meal to my real Brunch haha) - Good but not the best. I wish it was a bit crispier, thats all. Truffle Homefries - This was delicious, but only 25% of it was crispy, the rest just soft potato. Although I would order it again, I would ask for it to be crisper. GREAT portion! ONTO THE CUPPY CAKES! Regular flavors are Carrot Cake Red Velvet Mocha with Espresso Buttercream Banana Nutella Chocolate Peanut Butter Double Chocolate Berry (vegan) Pear Cardamom (vegan) Flourless Chocolate Almond But we had the Pumpkin with Mascarpone Icing, HEAVEN!!!! We had it to go and ate it and home and Boy do I not regret buying a Dozen, just for myself! We bought a bunch as gifts and are dying to know how those were *drOOl*

    This place is so adorable!! 5 stars for the brunch. They have a great mix of sweet and savory options and an extensive cupcake list!! You can get 6 delicious mini cupcakes for $1 each. For my entree I got the sandwich sampler, which was the perfect amount of food for me since I wasn't super hungry. The mini sandwiches were cute, healthy, and still delicious. The ambiance is also great- with a mix of cafe and bar decor. It's a small place, but we still had no issues getting a seat on a weekend for brunch. I will definitely be back...soon!

    We arrived on a Sunday about 45 minutes after they opened and there was a full crowd already. The place is small but cozy and I loved the idea of a quaint, whimsical place such as this; however, I don't think the food or service quite delivered. We sat at the bar and the service was slow - to be expected for a busy Sunday and it's not the place you would be rushing out of, but still, seemed like a long time. I ordered the omelette with hot dogs, which was likely my own mistake. I didn't expect the quantity of mustard atop the omelette (which did not taste homemade) or just the taste of the meat & hot dog inside. I also tried the scone and it was OK - definitely not the best I've ever had. Overall, the food was OK but don't think this place is a must-see, if you are in the area.

    My boyfriend and I were excited to try The Duck and Bunny. After eating dinner at a nearby restaurant we thought it would be fun to go have dessert. When we first walked in it felt like we were walking into someone's house; we were a little confused but we were greeted very quickly by a friendly waitress. It was 6:30pm on a Sunday; it wasn't busy so we were seated right away in the main room with the fireplace and bar. Our waitress was personable; we ordered coffee, a carrot cake cupcake and the sweet baby James crepe. The coffee came within a timely manner, about 5 minutes, and I really enjoy it; I had an iced caramel latte. My boyfriend had an iced coffee which he said was average. Up until this point we were enjoying our experience, but ten minutes passed then fifteen, twenty, twenty five and still no cupcake or crepe. It was so strange; not a word from our waitress acknowledging the long wait for what seemed to be a simple order. We felt like we were in the Twilight Zone; how was this slow service acceptable?? What was going on in the kitchen? Finally thirty minutes later our desserts arrived. The cupcake was ok, but very small for the $2.75 price tag. The crepe was good but hardly worth $10; it was small and the filling was not very substantial. Overall a disappointing experience.

    Great atmosphere. It's a quaint teahouse with a real fireplaces. Lots of armchairs. Great place to sit and read a book, but with headphones because it can get a little crowded. If you're planning on coming for lunch or dinner, come early. This is one of those places in Providence that tends to get very busy on Fridays and Saturdays. I tried a savory and a sweet crap. both were okay, but kind of lacked flavor. The salad was pretty good. Definitely plan on going back and trying new things Great place to take out-of-towners They have these classical paintings on the wall that are duck or bunny themed, like girl with the pearl earring as a duck

    The duck and bunny is cute, I'll give ya that, and so far the best date spot for brunch in RI. It's incredibly cozy, with a homely decor, couches to rest on, and a fireplace with real live wood! The service is very friendly and polite, and they didn't even mind giving me the table when my friends were delayed for more than 20 minutes; best of all, they didn't even make me feel super guilty about not ordering more than water in the meantime. The food, however, was less than enticing and couldn't compare with the ambiance. The mini cupcakes were decent, I especially liked the red velvet with the cream cheese frosting, although the mocha chocolate and carrot cake cupcakes were a bit dry and alright. The burrito crepe was decent, although if you didn't tell me that it was a crepe, I wouldn't have known. I was kind of disappointed with the sweetbread pudding; the taste was alright, although very little meat, a lot more bread. Overall, I think if it were the food alone, it'd be a 3.5 star at best, but the ambiance is so great, that you'd likely impress if you brought him/her here. Food: 3 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Service: 4 stars

    After two more visits here I've tried a few things: * Rice bowl with salmon * Side order of their famous Portuguese sweet bread pudding * A full sized Honey lavender cupcake * A pot of green tea(s): Ginger mint, and Wildberry The rice bowl was perfection. I loved every bite of it. It was well prepared, the salmon slightly chilled (it can be prepared how ever you would like it--and they make sure ask to ask) the rice not too sticky, not too hard and piecey. Just right. I ordered in on a weekday morning. When the crowds were minimal and the space was quiet. (Love that.) The Portuguese bread "pudding" was not like I expected a pudding to taste. But it read that it had caramelized onions, bacon and the full order was served with poached eggs. So I knew it was going to be savory. I thought it was great. It had a lot of flavor, there was a perfect balance between the maple sweetness and the savory bacon. It was one of those "ah yes, bacon" moments. I definitely can see the how this dish won an award. The full-sized cupcake was still on the miniature side to me. Given that I was a bit stuffed with the bread pudding, I was okay with this. What won me over was their frosting. It was fluffy, whipped and light. I didn't care for the cake so much. It seemed like any ol' yellow cake that you could get out of a box. (Sorry) But the frosting is what took this home for me. The ratio between cake and frosting was pretty much equal in size. So every bite had a bit of frosting, which I liked. Of course, the pot of tea is always a win in my book. As is the atmosphere and decor. Always a win. Sorta which I could give the D&B a 4.5, but I'll again go with a 4 due to their cupcakes.. It's nice that they have a ever changing menu for certain days and times. I was a bit saddened when I was looking for the rice bowl again on a weekend and it was not on menu, so I opted for the sweet bread... which was delicious, so no complains there. It seems that they don't have their full menu available on their busy days (i.e. weekends). Understandable, but a bit of a bummer.

    It's an adorable place to eat, drink, have conversation, and enjoy cupcakes and crepes. The decor is great. Wonderful staff. And a fun atmosphere. It's a snuggery for sure- cozy up with friends or make new friends especially sitting at the bar. The truffle frites were great. I could eat those everyday. Twice a day even. We had two savory crepes (the Miss Harriet and the Rachel & Monica). You could take them or leave them. The ingredients were not as cohesive as we wanted and there was little seasoning. The crepe itself was good. Perhaps the sweet crepes were better. The cupcakes were delicious. Lots of variety and uniques flavors. Although it's probably not the best 'man date' spot, I'd come back again for the atmosphere, drinks, and crepes. Not a lot else like it around.

    In prime Yelp fashion, if your expectations are set properly, anything can be a 5 star review. So my expectations were set quite high. Turns out any place that serves beer, wine and food but describes themselves as a creperie is about as pretentious as one might expect. Complete with staff that knows it and trust fund hipsters from Brown debating post feminism resurgence (true). The decor is well done and place is cozy. Wine by the glass had a good selection and were all fresh, pours were measured. More casual seating would have been nice, couches, bigger bar.

    Cute decor, tea list is not too extensive but good. The crepes were super yummy and the service excellent. I don't like cutesy spots, I took my mom here as a present cause I love her you know. And really the place was fun. Super good tea sandwiches. I would have given 5 stars but I didn't like my tea that much and thought they could have served it in a better manner it was dripping everywhere. Maybe I am too picky.

    I was in Providence for the day with my boyfriend and a waitress at another bar recommended this place. We are so glad she did! I have no idea what a "snuggery" is supposed to be, but I think I like it! We stopped in on a Saturday night just for drinks and dessert, and were excited to find out that they had a huge outdoor patio with couches and candles - so romantic! (Also a good place for my boyfriend to smoke the cigar he bought there) The interior is also adorable, kind of like a mod victorian parlor all in white. The décor is definitely the number one reason I gave this place five stars. I like to call myself aesthetically sensitive. While I'm kind of bored of the whole cupcake shop trend, I didn't mind paying less than $3 for a pretty good cupcake (we got a mocha one and a red velvet one, yum!) especially since I could get a cocktail with it. The cocktail menu is simple, as they only have beers and wines, but I appreciated their creativity in substituting fruit lambics for liqueur and adding fresh fruit to champagne cocktails. The drinks were pretty refreshing and definitely fitting for a chill atmosphere. The service was also good; I was excited to talk about sewing with the server, a RISD student who piped into my conversation about the best way to travel with a sewing machine. Definitely made it a personal experience. Overall, this is a nice place to chill out, have a drink, and enjoy a unique and cozy atmosphere. Maybe next time I will even order a crèpe!

    If I had to use one word to describe this place, it would be: lovely. From tea, to cupcakes, to chandeliers, this place is perfect for lunch with the ladies. Came here with my boyfriend who said he felt a little out of place (I, on the otherhand, completely loved the feminine/seductive decor). We both agreed that the truffle pomme frites were the best fries we had ever had. Our wine, an Italian blend for $25 a bottle, was very drinkable. The cheeseboard was good fun as well. The music, though I enjoyed it, was odd--live Cure and Natalie Merchant and other 90's pseudo goth-girl stuff. I wish I could see this place in the summer!

    Enjoyed a friend's recent bday dinner. This was my first non-cupcake experience. I had the tuna melt crepe - one of the better tuna sandwiches that I've had. It was served with tomato (and I asked they hold the cheese). There was tuna, onion, the essence of pickle and light, light mayo dressing. Delish. We shared the frites ( again hold the cheese) - I will now be putting rosemary on my fries. My friends enjoyed their creeps too - but I was too busy enjoying mine to remember what they ordered. :) My only "complaint" is how cheese heavy all the menu times were. Yes, they left it off - but nearly 90% of the savory items had cheese. Felt like overkill.

    The atmosphere is great. The food is okay. If you're a picky eater, it's hard to find things you'll enjoy. The best part about this place is the dessert. Get a banana Foster crepe and I'm still thinking about it. Definitely a great crepe place. They're also known for their cupcakes but they're either a hit or miss. Sometimes a little dry. Good gluten free options. Service is impeccable.

    I would normally not write a bad review but today bothered me so much it needs to be out there. I often dine alone. I walk the East Side and found Duck and Bunny on one of them. I checked them out online and was excited to see crepes and high tea. All was fine, I was seated and a menu was brought over. On a day that just brunch is served, it should be stated. An entire menu is presented but you can only order from the back page. I was confused as well as the table I will speak about in this review. I ordered an ice coffee and tea sandwiches. I read my book. Minutes went by. The table of 4 that ordered right after me, was also waiting for their food. The server checked on them several times finally explaining the kitchen was backed up. I was never spoken to. Both owners (I assume) came over as well. They took them mini cupcakes. Then they presented them with their tea sandwiches. I still waited. No one talked to me. Then I received my sandwiches which were thrown on my table. The table of 4 cancelled the remainder of their order. They had to leave. They were given a GC to return back. No one talked to me. I finished my meal and I was asked if I wanted my check. Not how the food was, not how I ate without a napkin, just you want your check. I paid. I did leave a tip, of 20% on the full bill. My intent was to purchase cupcakes but decided against it for obvious reasons. I will also say, I had intended to return that week with my mother for high tea. I dine all over Providence. This fails not because of the food but because of their service. It was disrespectful. I wish them luck but unfortunately bad PR is so much worse than good. Treat your patrons the same. Let me also say, the table of 4 because of the cancelled order, their bill came to the same price as mine. They were parents of their college kids. I live in Providence. My tip and business would have been worth the extra attention.

    We came here for dessert with a gift certificate and had "The Sweet Baby James" and the "Banana Split Crèpe", as well as "Strawberry Sassafras" tea. Both of the crepes were mediocre, nothing like crepes in France. The service was very poor. We went a few dollars above the gift certificate and they do have a credit card minimum, which we were rudely informed of by our waitress. We were only a dollar short of the minimum, so we got a mini Carrot Cupcake to go. It was stale and dry. In the end, it was extremely frustrating that the service made a huge stink over a $1, so this experience probably made more of an impact than the food.

    I'm so glad Duck and Bunny is in the neighborhood. You can't beat the relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. They have a wonderful tea and the back patio is like a sweet little secret garden! Wonderful friendly staff as well!

  • Julie C.

    Really unique place with awesome coffee and some great dessert crepes. I absolutely love the truffle fries. The rest of the food, however, is not great. They actually have some pretty disgusting water that they charge like, 7 bucks for, and try to pass off as French Onion Soup. The lunch crepes were not my favorite. Overall, if you are sticking to dessert and coffee - two thumbs way up. Everything else... Well... not so much.

    A true escape from the everyday right here in Providence! Once you step over the threshold of the Duck and Bunny you realize that you are in much more than a simple tea house, or a cupcake bakery, or even a bar. They call it a "Snuggery" and if you give the phrase a moment to sink in you will realize it is the correct term to describe the ornately decorated hideaway. The decor changes from room to room but the one consistent factor throughout is the friendly and courteous staff. This group of eclectic characters brings the spirit of this locale to life! Beyond the great staff there is also a fantastic selection of beers, wines, creative champagne cocktails, and of course, the food! The Duck and Bunny serves some of the best cupcakes in town. My favorites at this moment include the decadent Salted Caramel Chocolate, the Banana Nutella and the Portuguese Bread Pudding. The rest of their menu is spot on too including creative crepes, fantastic cheese and charcuterie plates, and some wonderful brunch creations. Try all of their takes on eggs benedict, or Eggs Bun-A-Duck as they would say! The perfect spot for a romantic evening, a family brunch, or in the warmer months a late night in their back patio area. I cannot more highly recommend the Duck and Bunny the next time you are looking to step off the beaten path in Providence!

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally got to go the other day! It is just as I imagined it would be. Super cute with chandeliers and paintings and just overall aww. When I was little reading Alice in Wonderland I wanted to be doing it in a place like this, complete with cupcakes and all. I went for a quick bite to eat while I was waiting for an appointment in the area. My salad was fresh and delicious. Our waitress was super sweet and happily got our check for us early since we had an appointment to get to. I want to get my butt back there for some cupcakes and banana/nutella crepes ASAP. I'm looking forward to trying this place later in the evening and in the morning to see all they have to offer.

    I went to the Duck and Bunny with high hopes and great expectations... some were met and others were... not met. Let me begin by saying that the cupcakes are very good. There is a wide selection and they are yummy. I would have like more frosting because they were so good, but I was satiated for sure! They also have mini cupcakes that are equally addictive. On the other hand, the frites I ordered smelled wonderful yet were incredibly salty and fairly greasy. I must say that I had no idea what a snuggery was. I was definitely expecting more open space than I actually encountered. It is a very snug, cozy place. While cozy and snug aren't bad things, more space for seating would only benefit the Duck and Bunny. Moreover, there was something pretentious about the Duck and Bunny. Our server was really nice, but there was an unfriendly air blowing through this establishment. My interaction with one of the owners certainly didn't help matters; when I was paying my bill, she was very abrupt. The overall ambiance of the Duck and Bunny (though I did like the Duck with the Pearl Earring and the Rabbit Van Gogh paintings!) left a lot to be desired. Will I return for a cupcake? Perhaps. Will I stay at the Duck and Bunny to enjoy it? No.

    I give the Duck and Bunny (or "the snugs" as my friends call it) 5 stars for the menu and 3 stars for the ambiance. FOOD: Most of the foods I've eaten here have been delicious, with the exception of the bacon-date cupcake. The salty bacon frosting was a bit too unique for my tastes, but I'm glad they went there even if it wasn't my bag. The mocha cupcake is transcendent, in particular the gobs of mocha icing atop the dense chocolate cake. I also ate an incredible ham, gruyere and mustard crepe here that was about the thickness of 3 crepes from the creperie near Thayer Street, but about 2xs as costly. They must have put 1/2 a pound of thin sliced ham inside. It was worth every penny of the $10 I spent on it and I was able to stretch it out over two meals. Yum. TEA: I have sampled many of the teas here, and so far my favorites are the apricot and the chocolate chai. A pot will run you about $3, which seems absolutely reasonable. AMBIANCE: I feel put off by some of the stylistic choices here. The décor is like being trapped in an anthropologie catalog where the only color on offer is white. The famous Degas, Vermeer and Monet paintings with ducks and bunnies artfully painted in are a bit too precious for my blood. Accustomed to all the indie rock standards they perpetually blast at the snugs, I was totally caught off-guard recently when my waitress told me that Friday night is Floyd Friday, a choice that seemed more appropriate for a dive bar with sticky tabletops than this pristine, cutesy spot. That said, it is a great work zone to go to on a weekday mid-morning to get a boatload of writing done without running into a single soul you know.

    Love, love this restaurant! I've been twice in 2 weeks and had a lovely time each visit. The waitstaff is attentive and pleasant. Everything we ordered was delicious and prepared nicely: crepes, truffle pommes frites, and cupcakes. The portions were sized perfectly. If you're looking for mass quantities of food, though, look elsewhere as Pvd has plenty such places downtown or on the Hill. We had a pot of the coconut tea, yum. Their coffee menu has something for everyone. I had a wee cup of mocha last time I was there and it was just the right size of coffee after dinner. The atmosphere is cozy, shabby chic. So, I would recommend Duck & Bunny to anyone looking for a something different. In fact, I look forward to returning to sample more crepes and cupcakes. Yum. Parking: PITA, but that's expected for the area.

    Every time I visit Providence I end up at the Duck and Bunny, either for brunch,lunch, afternoon tea or wine, or dinner. Never disappointed. A tiny restaurant in an old house along Wickenden. Comfortable shabby chic decor, interesting creative menu, wines, beer and teas. In warmer weather a very nice private patio and nice place for a weekend brunch,

  • Kristin K.

    We love this place! Its a very well run business on Wickenden Street. The food is creative and well prepared with fresh, local ingredients. And the service is very friendly. I suggest the Mazy Star crepe, truffle fries, and if you are a bacon lover, they occasionaly have a bacon cupcake. Their signature drinks, such as the lava lamp, are also wonderful.

    A few months back I organized a bachelorette party for a friend and asked the bride to be what she was looking for in an evening. Being a laid back person, she had lots of suggestions for a casual, fun night, but said "if at all possible I would love to go to the Duck and Bunny." Okay, I thought, being completely unfamiliar with the place. I have small kids so my chances to check out small, quirky restaurants are minimal. I called ahead to reserve a spot for what turned out to be 12 or so of us, and I'm glad I did - the place is small and fills up fast, especially on a weekend night! We arrived and the table was all reserved for us. The front room was cozy and pretty. Our server was attentive and friendly. The drink I had was not great and expensive. My fault for not reading the ingredients more closely - I saw fruit and thought, 'great!' and ordered. Yeah. Missed the "rosewater" bit. Whatever I had smelled like an elderly lady's powder room. No one at the table liked it much. I would go again and order something else. The food was decent. I had a savory crepe, and while it was pricey, too, it was a nice sized portion so you felt like you got enough. The cupcakes were amazing. I had a salted caramel cupcake and it was so incredibly good. All in all, I would go again for a small dinner and would not be afraid to reserve it for a party of less than 20. It was a good experience and I have gotten just cupcakes from them since.

    the cup cakes are great. don't let them put your cup cakes in a chinese take out box. my mother nearly had a stoke when she saw three of them pilled on top of one another. it made easter brunch more colorful than usual. duck and bunny people be warned,a short top heavy cranky portuguese woman may our may not have words with you.

    The first thing you'll notice in this apartment-converted-to-a-restaurant is the hipster/cutesy decor. If you're a fan of cheap chandeliers hung in odd places and tables arranged so the you feel like you're sitting in bed, right by a ginormous puffy headboard, with plenty of pillows, you will like it here. It's a little twee... but I liked it anyway. We came with a group of 8 for brunch. We didn't have a reservation, as the place asked for a credit card # to hold a reservation, which, especially at a place this casual, is really not ok. Still, it wasn't that busy, and we didn't have any trouble getting seated. Bottomless cups of coffee were tasty and reasonably priced. We all got potato pancakes to share as an appetizer - they were good. I and one other person ordered the "Tiny Evans" (all the menu items have cutesy names). This baked egg dish had a special note on the menu that it takes a long time to prepare - but yet it arrived before everyone else's entrees! It was extremely tasty. Most all the items ordered were excellent - the one exception was the "Dougie Boy." The menu description ("Smoked Salmon Purses, capers, green onion and crème fraîche in an herb crepe") didn't lead us to assume it would be served refrigerator-cold, with a soggy crepe. However, the cupcakes went a long way toward making up for that one disappointment. Apparently, they have different flavors every day, but some of the highlights we sampled included: pumpkin with mascarpone topping, lemon tea cake with raspberry jam, and salted chocolate caramel. They were all excellent. The one unfortunate thing is that the person who initially suggested the restaurant to us picked it because they usually have gluten-free cupcakes - and they didn't have any on this occasion. She got an ice cream dessert instead.

    We ordered the extra large cupcake for my daughter's birthday. We called about a week in advance to order and paid on the phone. When we went in to pick it up, the employee questioned whether the order existed as she couldn't find the cake or any paperwork. After much searching, the paperwork was found and eventually the cake. When we finally got to eating the cake, it was very stale, as if it was about a week old and sitting around in a refrigerator that long. Additionally, there were oil stains on the cardboard it was sitting on, and those take days to accumulate as well. There was very little moisture in the cake and it didn't even taste very good. The layer of frosting between the cake layers was paper thin. We were extremely disappointed. Next time, we'll just stick with Greg's chocolate cake. Sorry D&B, you failed this time.

    They do not serve rabbit nor duck. The truffle fries were indeed quite tasty. Their crepes are fairly inventive, but not quite something I'd write home about. I was skeptical about their cupcakes, but their mocha cupcake was indeed incredibly nice with real espresso buttercream, whipped right. The others that I tried were more pedestrian, carrot cake, red velvet, and blue moon beer. So here's the rub, the ultra hip vibe and the fairly steep price tag. It feels a bit pretentious, like they're trying to go for trendy vibe with their quirky and fancy decor, but hey, if you're going for a fancy date or hip little drinking party, then it works. But it does get a bit loud and tightly packed. It's more of an A-Ok rating from me, but I bumped it to a 3.5-4 mainly for the mocha cupcake. Overpriced but tasty little sucker.

    Love this restaurant! My husband and I went for Valentines and it was excellent. I was a little apprehensive, as holidays are notorious for bad service, and not always consistent quality, but we were blown away! All seven courses were sublime. The servings were quite small, except for the main entree which was ample. My husband is very hard to please, and likes a lot of food. We both left stuffed, but in a good way. Because the servings were mostly dainty, it was a very comfortable sedation.

    Absolutely fantastic crepes. Mine was made with fresh spinach, turkey, and mozzarella cheese. I enjoyed them so much I made it here each of the three consecutive days I spent in Rhode Island. The decor was beautiful, too. I'm already planning a trip back just for this little shop.

    Went to D&B this morning for brunch with my girlfriends. Delicious, as always! We all had the Portuguese Sweet Bread French Toast with banana's foster & pecans. SO good! Maybe the best french toast i've ever had...really! The place itself is very tiny but no one ever rushed us out...we sat and talked for a while. Sipped on tea and coffee and, yes, had cupcakes after our yummy brunch. Definitely a great little spot to try if you're not claustrophobic.

    My little sister and I have been to the Duck and Bunny several times for tea and cupcakes. About a month ago we went in there to discuss what we were going to do for her birthday party this year. With her becoming a teenager, she wanted to throw a "formal attire" dinner party with her closest girlfriends. Being only 12 I thought it was pretty clever on her part and a great way to celebrate becoming a "teen." While sitting there going over a bunch of different places we could have it, she cut me off and said in her valley girl voice "umm, hello? why not here?" So we began to start planning. I emailed the owner Jessica, who by the way is very kind and sweet, asking if she would be willing to accommodate our party plans. She was more than willing to help us out and went above and beyond to ensure she had a great party. We had a party of eight girls which took up a decent amount of room in the main dinning area near the bar/cupcakes. We ordered a few appetizers to start like the fruit plate, the truffle and Parmesan french fries (they are to die for, if you don't get them, you are seriously missing out), and a few others like the foccacia bread with tomato's and cheese. For dinner, everyone ordered something different. My personal favorite was the crepe noodles with a buerre blanc wine sauce and ricotta cheese. It was amazing and very filling. I have to say that every single dish was delivered with beautiful presentation. I find that to be very important when going out to eat, I want my plate to look like a painting or something out of a magazine and they did a wonderful job delivering that. Finally, the cake was the most important thing on my sisters mind about her party. Being that she is a young girl, she loves Juicy Couture. I asked the owner if it was possible to do a cake that looked like a Juicy Couture bag. She informed me that they did not use fondant on the cakes but the head pastry chef would go out of her way to make a replica of the bag the best she could. When the cake was brought out, it was a round cake with pink frosting and brown stripes down the side of it and in the middle it read "Choose Maddie" which is just like the Juicy Couture slogan. What was so amazing is that, we were told they do not use fondant but when the cake came out it was on there! My sister was in awe and could not stop smiling and thanking the waitstaff for making her wish come true of having a Juicy Couture inspired cake with pink and brown stripes and silver bows that surrounded the entire cake. Overall, I would have to say that this was the best dinner party that I have ever been to and it was a 13 year olds party! The waitstaff was amazing and very attentive to our every need. Most importantly the ambiance of the restaurant alone is one of the most alluring things about the restaurant. It makes you feel warm and cozy but at the same time it makes you feel glamorous because it is so beautifully decorated. Let's just say we will be going back for more dinner parties!

    Horrid service and pissy attitude. They were not busy and tried to stuff us in a corner. Took forever for service and we had to go looking for the check. Waiter did not seem to care. Told them I would have liked a bigger table and was pretty much told tough. Told them I would not come back. Told fine. Cupcakes looked stale old. Liquid running all over the serving plates. Even my eight year old passed. He loves cupcakes. Run away!

    One of the most delicious meals I've had since Kiss Seafood in San Fran! Saying The Duck and Bunny immediately makes my mouth water. I went with a friend for their breakfast menu and I can honestly say it was a mighty challenge to finalize a decision on the menu. Literally everything sounded amazing! Luckily, my friend and I have an understanding that we share half of our dishes with each other, so I was able to enjoy my first choice (The Distinguished Lincon - A an extremely satisfying savory crepe with black forest ham, gruyere and caramel mustard. I don't even like mustard, but this was an amazing and complimentary combo) and my second choice (Tea Sandwiches - 5 delicious varieties of traditional finger sandwiches, can't go wrong). The ambiance is a mix of silly, understated elegance with splashes of color here and there. The fireplace is lit and the lighting lowered in the evening for an added intimacy bonus. If I had to point out any cons, the space is claustrophobia- inducingly small and it was awkward to seat ourselves and have space for bags/coats without impeding on the space of our neighbors. Definitely try to not bring a lot of stuff with you when you go. The only other thing I didn't approve of was how long the service took at certain points. I went on an early saturday afternoon and we were seated, our order taken fairly soon after, but when our food and tea arrived it was as if we were forgotten about. I'm wondering whether or not it had to do with a woman next to us doing a sampling for her upcoming bridal party, but our plates sat empty on our crowded little table for a while before they were cleared and we never got a check back on our table to see how things were or if we needed anything else. We were on a bit of a time constraint to make a train and it was irritating to have to actually stand up and walk over to the service staff to ask for the check because no one paid attention enough to see we were staring at them trying to flag someone down. I also had to walk up and **physically deliver the card to a server** so we could pay and make the train. Neither of these two irritants were enough to knock off a star because enjoying such a delicious meal surrounded by whimsical charm was a real treat and I can't wait to go back to try their dinner menu. Till then I'll entertain myself with thoughts of sitting at their bar guzzling tea and eating sweets while surfing on my computer. Free wifi ftw.

    We were so excited to go to the restaurant and support its local owners. After a 2 plus hour wait, the crepes were cold and the coffee colder. After another 45 minute, with no dessert crepe insight, we left utterly disappointed. Most upsetting was that the owner was there and watched everything and did nothing. No apologies. No explanation. Bad service. Poor food.

    Alright, so I have given The Duck and Bunny ample opportunity to redeem itself because I love it's atmosphere and the concept of it. However, looks alone are not enough to warrant a return. I have gone there at least six times by now and not once have I left satisfied. Why have I gone back? It probably seems odd, right? Well, I knew how inconsistent they are with their items, so I keep giving it the benefit of the doubt. I have never posted a review before, but I feel that their inconsistency needs to be noted. 4 out of 6 times the service was horrible, but even that is forgivable considering the type of place it is. You do not go there in a rush; you go there to relax and catch up with friends over a good meal. I ordered a banana nutella crepe once and not only received it completely cold, but it tasted as if they didn't clean the station after making savory crepes. In this regard, the crepe was inedible. 2 out of the 6 times the cupcakes were delicious and moist. I particularly enjoyed the vegan cupcake that they had with raspberry filling. Unfortunately, the other four times the cupcakes were dry and the frosting tasted of pure sugar which overpowered the entire cupcake. I have received my tea cold at least three times and the other times they were luke warm. The chai tea they advertise has not been available each time I requested it; they should seriously just take it off the menu. Overall, although I enjoy the appearance of the place, it is not worth it.

    Perfect place for a date. The atmosphere is interestingly cozy. Apparently it's a regular house that's been turned into a little tea place that serves incredible teas and food. We decided to share 3 appetizers and a pot of tea. I think the tea was called peace of mind, since they were out of the vanilla chai which I heard was very good. The tea was smooth and definitely helped us both relax, considering it was the first date ;) hah. We shared the Devonshire scones, truffle pomme frites, and brie & walnuts. The last two were delicious but nothing to write home about. The scones, however.. Oh my damn, scones had an incredibly tender crumb which was nice considering all scones I had before this anywhere were hard as a rock. It had a subtle sweetness, almost as if it was telling me to smother it with the clotted cream and fruit preserves. Next time I go, I'd like to try the wine, red velvet cupcake, and the Portuguese sweet bread (?) cupcake that people have been raving about! Also, maybe it was becuase we went on a THursday evening but the service was great! We were taken care of very well so no hiccups there. All in all, great cozy place for intimate gatherings. Will definitely be going back.

    Came here with my boyfriend on Thanksgiving weekend. Kinda skeptical since my boyfriend very picky about crepes before. I had the assorted sandwiches and my boyfriend had the duck and bunny roll. One bite and my boyfriend was astonished. He loved it. The combination was amazing. The sandwiches were cute and just enough for me. Afterwards, we had to try the cupcakes. I had the red velvet and a chocolate gluten free cupcake. They both were amazing! Honestly, I'm very very picky with cupcakes, they usually taste wayy too sweet. But the red velvet was devine! I would order another dozen! I highly recommend this place to anyone. honestly. I was very pleased.

    I was on vacation in Providence last week with family and we returned to the Duck & Bunny four times; the food was brilliant. The coconut truffle tea was delicious. The bacon wrapped dates are magical. Must-order crepes: The Miss Harriet (brie and pear), The Mazzy Star (portobello mushrooms, fontina cheese) and The Dougie Boy (salmon and capers). One word: YUM. I know the red velvet cupcake is popular, but their peanut butter chocolate truffle cupcake and some other type of sweet bread cupcake they had that day was heaven. We met the owners and it was as if they were welcoming us to their home, which the place does make you feel like you're in a cozy living room or dining room, depending on which of the 3 rooms you choose. The cupcake bar is very elegant and inviting, where you can have a glass of wine or beer. Service was good all hours we went, (they have wait staff for the tables), and the prices are great for such a tealicious experience. I wish there was a Duck & Bunny in my hometown!

    Decent place- cool decor , was very confused whether there was a waiter or if I needed to go up to the front to order. Went here for brunch and the meals were decent yet small and the prices a little steep. My only real complaint was that the cupcakes were not very good- I love cupcakes and was pretty excited but ours were kind of old and stale. Other than that though I thought it was good but nothing too exciting

    It's Alice-in-Wonderland meets Wickenden Street. Heavy on whimsy, light on menu selection and staff, the Duck and Bunny is equal parts cutesy, cool, and frustrating. But the frustration is worth it- at least once. At least so you can say you frequent the same spots as Brown student/ Harry Potter superstar, Emma Watson, and model/tyrant, Tyra Banks. On my trip I had their signature red velvet cupcake- which I found to be a little dry, but otherwise perfectly palatable. The cake itself was nothing to write home about, but the cream cheese frosting was pretty fab. Full disclosure: I would bathe in cream cheese frosting if it was socially acceptable so maybe I'm a bit biased. I paired the cupcake with a glass of Proseco, which, at $8 was both pretty reasonable and pretty great. There's a lot to be said for a place that lets you pair bubbly with your baked goods, so that alone earned the Duck and Bunny some points. The service was fairly slow the night I was there, although the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and chic enough to make the wait pleasant. The novelty of the Duck and Bunny is a major selling point, but it's also one of the reasons why I wouldn't make this place a regular haunt: the whimsy- which was enjoyable the first go around- would probably get old. Not to mention I'd probably lapse into a sugar coma. On the other hand, I might get to see and be seen with Emma Watson... so maybe it'd be worth it.

    Holy yum strawberry marscapone crepes, caramel sweetbread banana french toast. The atmosphere is perfect, quaint and lovely. This is my favorite breakfast ever.

    Very much a soda fountain for adults. It's a nice place to go with a date or some girlfriends (I imagine) and get a glass of dessert wine or cocktail and some cupcakes, some of which are very good. I enjoyed the jelly donut cupcake. The vibe is sort of remodeled grandma's house with a funky sensibility (the bathroom wall encourages all patrons to wash their hands, "but that's just our opinion"). There's also a nice outdoor area in the back with fires. The beer menu is not bad also, for those not into high tea or wine. When I went with my date we found a quiet secluded spot and were able to talk. Providence needs places like this that are fun for a date, but not necessarily for the over 50 crowd, and not blasting music so loud you feel like you can't talk. My server was a little spacey, but the service isn't what you go for.

    This is one of my favorite places in Providence. Tea, wine, cupcakes. I love it. The garden in back is perfect on a summer night. You will forget that you are in a city.

    Got a banana cup cake with chocolate filling: sweet, moist, creamy and wonderful! I'm a fan, for sure! My wife and daughter got one of their peanut butter chocolate truffles, and they found them to be too salty and dry. Still, the garden in back, the black & white decor ... it's a nice place for an occasional decadent treat. They even sport a selection of wines. I'd most definitely return.

    What an adorable place! Me, my husband and my little 1 year old where going to an art shop near by and thought we would walk down the strip of shops. That's when we found The Duck and Bunny on the sign out side the door it said they had cupcakes. So I totally had to check it out! Loved it! The atmosphere was so chic! I loved it! It was so quaint!

    Really cool place serving 2 of my favorite things, cupcakes and crepes! Oh and beer and wine! Hard to find a place for good dessert that also serves alcohol. However, I've been a few times and have had some hits and misses. First the good... the Distinguished Lincoln crepe and the blue moon and peaches and cream cupcakes were amazing! But I was really looking forward to trying the Sweet Baby James crepe and was soooo disappointed! It was cold, like just out of the refrigerator cold. And the strawberries were cut too big in my opinion. And the carrot cake cupcake was definitely nothing to write home about. But overall, the good has outweighed the bad for me and I'll be back!

    I bought the Groupon for a box of their cupcakes, so this review is based soley on those. I can't vouch for any of the other food or table service. We stopped in this past Saturday for a box of 4 cupcakes. I hadn't printed my Groupon on paper, so I was going to give the mobile Groupon app a shot. They don't have any way of scanning the barcode, but the girl at the counter said she could just write down the number and that should suffice... so that was cool of her to do for us. We picked out 4 cupcakes: red velvet, mint brownie, peanut butter truffle, and banana nutella. The red velvet was decent. I've been on a bit of a mission to find the perfect red velvet cupcake, and I don't think I've quite found it yet. The cake was a bit too dry, and I'm under the impression that red velvet is supposed to be super moist. The cream cheese frosting was quite yummy, though! My boyfriend got the brownie mint, which I tired a bite of, and it was really yummy! There was a York peppermint patty baked into the cake part, yum! The peanut butter truffle one was also his, which I also sampled, and wasn't too impressed. Again, the cake was a bit too dry. My favorite was the banana nutella. It was basically a banana bread cake with globs of nutella baked in. Fantastic! So, in conclusion, the cupcakes that had some form of liquid baked into the cake were very good... the ones with just plain cake were a bit too dry for my taste. Overall, I was pleased with my experience and would certainly not turn down a cupcake from there! Sure beats the supermarket bakery!

    Me , my mother, and my best friend were walking down Wickenden Street when we came across this cute little place. We loved that it was called The Duck and Bunny but we were hesitate to go in at first because under neath the name it said a snuggery. We weren't really sure what they meant by a "snuggery" until we walked in. It is a small interesting place with a cozy interior. No this was not a place to go with my mother or my friend. It is really meant for couples being that you are practically sitting on top of one other which is fine if you are on a date. The tea that I wanted they ran out of which was upsetting so the waitress gave us a selection that we might like. She even gave us the bigger teapot for free since they ran out of the flavor we originally wanted. We ended up getting a peach tea and some type of green tea. Both were very tasty. My mother got crepes that she enjoyed. I will definitely go back to this place but next time with my boyfriend.

    I read the reviews on this place and it looked to be great. I went by to give it a try and upon entering I felt awkward. I couldn't tell if it was a sit down restaurant or a place to grab a cup of tea to go from looking at it from the outside. None the less I ventured inside and the girl working was talking to her friend for five minutes before she decided to acknowledge me. It felt more like I walked into her house than a public business. But then I realized I wasn't at her house when more of her friends showed up and she invited them to come by to her house sometime to hang out in her bathtub lol. So finally I order my tea and she was like "to go! Right?!" I was like yes please I wanted it to go anyways but would have been nice to not make it seem like that was my only choice. The tea was delicious and I didn't try the cupcakes but they looked amazing. Despite this critique on the service it seemed like a nice little spot and I will return for another try.

    We visited the Duck & Bunny after dinner one Saturday evening, very much looking forward to a glass of dessert wine. The ambiance was great and the server, while busy, was very attentive. The menu had a good range of dessert wines and the prices seemed reasonable. We were unfamiliar with a few of the wines, so we requested a taste of several. The server obliged and brought us a taste of a raspberry dessert wine- we commented on the daintiness of the tasting glass and found the lukewarm wine less than desirable. We tried a second wine, which we very much enjoyed and decided to order a glass a piece, along with a vegan chocolate berry mini cupcake. My dinner companion commented on how humorous it would be if the tasting glass was the same size as the actual glass of wine. We were shocked and chagrined when the server brought us our two $15 glasses, in what could only be described as an extremely undersized ornate shot glass with a stem. In hindsight, we should have sprung for another $15 and purchased the bottle (although we wonder how large the bottle would've actually been). We consider ourselves somewhat of dessert wine connoisseurs and realize that the serving glass is certainly smaller than a typical glass of wine. However, we are not exaggerating when we say that this "glass" was barely 3-4 sips. The vegan cupcake was quite good, but I would say the experience was somewhat overshadowed by our dismay. So, if you were to visit the "Duck and Bunny", stick to traditional wine and beer, or you might refer to it as we do- the "Suck Your Money".

    I love this place. The owners, Dan & Jessica, are extremely nice. Heather the waitress is also very nice and welcoming, which definitely makes a huge difference to a nice cafe like this one. The ambient is definitely different and one of the things that makes it so special. The food is hands down delicious. Baked goods are very fresh and original. One of the things I like the best about this place is that it has ordinary foods like cupcakes and crepes, but they are made in such a way that they are very unique and taste great. definitely would go there. I like D&B better when it is not too crowded though, that's the only thing.

    cute little place, however like stated a few times... the service was horrendous... no joke no greeting, ordered a crepe, cupcake, tea and latte (with the gf)... crepe came out after 5 minutes, cupcake 5 minutes later, then 5 min later the coffee and tea came out, completely backwards ??? i have no desire to go back there, but she liked it so i will.. hopefully to have a better experience oh and for that type of place, learn how to make a coffee, weak as hell spend more time training your waitstaff

    really nice atmosphere - cute, cozy, and elegant. but the food is overpriced and isn't even very good [except the scones - those are delicious]. what really turned me off was the chai latte i ordered. i expected sweet, rich, and cinnamony. i got watery and tasteless. i'd still recommend going here with a friend or family member for a cup of tea and a scone or maybe for an earlier brunch, but just don't come in with your expectations too high.

    I had been to Duck and Bunny twice previously (brought there for lunch by my boss on both occasions -having great experiences on both (wiener crepes to die for)) so my expectations (and recommendations) were high when I suggested the place to my sisters to bring our mom for a special Sunday brunch for her 79th birthday. We arrived before the place opened its doors at 10:00am and found several people already in line - waiting for the doors to open - but I wasn't concerned. Although I knew the place to be rather small - there were only about 8 people waiting (2 parties of 2 and one party of 4?) and there were only 4 of us. Unfortunately, we were sat in the sitting room (near the kitchen) on a high, round-top table measuring approximately 24 inches in diameter (obviously meant for a party of 2). I questioned the hostess and asked if we might be moved into the main dining room that was still largely empty but were told that those tables were "reserved" for a party of 12. NOT happy, but what were we to do? We ordered our food and as "first course", did enjoy some fresh scones served with a raspberry jam, a strawberry jam and some sour cream (still slightly warm and quite good,) and a yummy, crunchy foursome of potato latkes (served spread with applesauce? they could have skipped that..) and drizzled with sour cream and green onion. But the plate choreography that ensued on that tiny table, juggling the serving platter, individual plates and coffee cups, became ridiculous and only got worse when our full-plated breakfasts arrived. Mom had the NY System Wiener omelet, which she enjoyed thoroughly, Deb had the blintzes (served cold.. a little unexpected and would have been preferred warm.. shouldn't they specify this on the menu?) Di had the Eggs Bun-A-Duck (unremarkable... arrived barely warm...rosemary foccacia was terribly dry and hollandaise sauce without flavor..) My Bananas Foster French Toast, however, was DELISH. The "sauce" of it was a little thick (I prefer it a little looser) but was otherwise all I'd hoped for in my meal. So - about 70:30 success rate on the food - but the real kick in the butt came as we watched the time tick by and those 12 seats in the other room remained empty for the 1.5 hours we were there... It wasn't until we were putting on our coats to leave that the party of 12 started trickling in.. So, Duck & Bunny, you turned people away from that dining room at 10:00am for a party that was not expected for another hour and a half? During Brunch? I could understand if it were 6:00pm Dinner but could you not have offered us a table there with the condition that it must be available at 11:30? It all left a very bad taste in my mouth and, while you didn't charge us for Mom's candlelit Birthday Cupcake (or was that just an oversight?) it might be some time (if ever) that I can recommend you to another.

    The Duck and Bunny is the cutest place to go for dessert! I've been a couple times and have always had great service. It may be a small place, but the decor and lighting make it so cozy. I recommend the carrot cake cup cake!

    This is a unique experience in Providence, and that's what makes this place special. Great crepes and sandwiches, a huge selection of tea--white, black, chai, rooboi, etc.--wine, beer, and soda, mixed drinks like mimosas, and of course some amazing cupcakes. The cupcakes when I went yesterday were lavender butter-cream, peanut butter and chocolate, banana bread filled with chocolate topped with banana frosting, vegan chocolate, peppermint patty-filled, chocolate with mocha frosting and powdered espresso bean, and several others. Great selection for sure. Some people have commented about the atmosphere being weird, but I actually kind of like it. It's pretty quirky, just be prepared for that (there are plenty of places in Providence that are similarly odd). One thing I wouldn't recommend getting here is a full-on dinner. Basically, the menu is a giant appetizer menu. The crepes are pretty full meals, and the salads are nice big portions (lots of delicious choices here), but you're not going to have a typical meal here. But that's what makes it great. My girlfriend and I often go here to get a little work done--she's an artist and I'm a poet--and we typically order a crepe or the cheese platter (which I highly recommend) and each get a tea (they give you a whole pot) and sit there for a couple hours. Think of it as a glorified cafe. The best cafe I've eaten at in the whole city.

    My review is for cupcakes only as we have not yet have any of the crepes. I am an avid baker and bake alot of cupcakes myself. I was excited to try this place based on the reviews. However, I was left quite disappointed. My boyfriend and I both agreed the frostings were good but the cupcakes themselves were extremely dry. So dry that I couldnt even finish it, and i always finish cupcakes! We tried 5 different ones and the only one i truly enjoyed was the brownie mint surprise..which is a brownie and not technically a cupcake. I may come again to check out the crepes but I will steer clear of the cupcakes, not worth 2.75!

  • Ives H.

    I came here cause I heard their cupcakes were amazing... but they were ok.. the chocolate flavors were too sweet for my liking and the red velvet wasn't up to my expectations. But they do have a mini cupcake deal which is really nice if you want to sample all of the flavors first for yourself.

    I think this place may soon be in 4-5 star territory, but based on my first visit they're still finding their legs. They've certainly done an impressive job of creating a totally different feel in the old Blue Elephant space. Well-thought-out, detail-oriented menu; friendly, chatty owner providing table service when it's not too busy (despite signs directing us to order at the bar); nice small selection of draft beer and larger selection of wine; many tempting food options. However, everyone in my group agreed that they're going to need to work on the price points a little. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to pay a premium for excellent, locally sourced food. But a crepe should not be ten dollars unless it is filled with excellent, locally sourced caviar -- or unless it is ginormous, I guess. Which these are not. They are a normal, reasonable crepe size and should go for a normal, reasonable five to seven dollars depending on the nature of the fillings. We tried both sweet and savory crepes; they were nicely plated, freshly made, and tasty (though the "egg cup" crepe needed a lot more seasoning and less cooking time for the egg). Price points on the cupcakes and drinks were much more appropriate, and the cupcakes were delicious. I'm even willing to try the $18/person "high tea" one of these days based on the variety of goodies described. I hope this place will succeed, and that they will make the adjustments required to help them sell a lot more tasty crepes. Meanwhile, it'll be cupcake flights for me and my friends.

    Cozy yet chic. Great for meeting up with a long lost friend or hunkering down to do some work in a pleasant atmosphere. Not only do they serve tea, coffee, light savory meals, and beer/wine, they also have the yummiest homemade cupcakes. I didn't order any food (aside from cupcakes), but it looked (and smelled) amazing. The servers/owners were friendly and laid back. There were REAL Brits having high tea at the table next to me, so The Duck & Bunny must be doing something right!

    This is my new fav place to go for cupcakes, tea, and just girl talk. I will never bring my boyfriend here but I will come back with every single girlfriend I have. It's so cute looking and yummy perfect for catching up. I love the gingersnap tea which is caffeine free. The coffee is also delicious and they have soy milk which is a big plus for me! It's small and I wouldn't come with a big group. I need to try their other food soon. Friday and Saturdays are packed! They are also closed on Mondays which I just learned yesterday. Oh well.

    My friend and I pre-gamed it here dessert-style before heading Downcity for a night out. I had the Maxi banana-nutella cupcake and a latte for under $7.00. The cupcake was perfect: light and flavorful banana cake with a generous Nutella filling and fresh, yummy buttercream icing. My friend had the strawberry-mascarpone crepe, which was fresh and indulgent without being overly sweet. Even on this busy Saturday night, our wait was minimal, the service was prompt and courteous, and the ambiance was charming and delightfully modern, which I did not expect from a tea room. A fancy but un-frilly friend date for around $20.00 AND Nutella was involved...I'll definitely be back.

    I had high hopes for this place! The place itself is adorable with a nice bar and seating area. I have also heard great things about their garden/patio. I had been here a few years ago and wasn't impressed with the cupcakes but figured it was time to give it another try. We wanted an evening dessert place and the Duck and Bunny really does fit the bill. They put their cupcake list on a chalk board in the seating area and we took a few minutes to look it over after the waitress came by and took our drink orders. We were going to go with cookie dough but they were sold out, okay so then we were going to go with strawberries and cream, they were sold out, the third time the waitress came by we decided to go with honey lavender and, guess what?! Sold out! On the third visit to take our cupcake order the waitress said she should take the cupcake list down but never did. We went with basically all they had left which was a gluten free chocolate, orange, almond, mini red velvet, and mini mocha. There was no mistaking that the almond cupcake was a gluten free cupcake the cake was really bad although the frosting was good. The red velvet mini had dry cake and the mocha pretty much was the best of the batch and that isn't saying much. We should have went with the crepes but, the cupcakes had so much promise! On Friday at 8:30 its really disappointing to see the cupcake selection cleared out.

    Great breakfast food. Attentive service. Expect tight quarters and a lengthy wait on the weekends. We went during the winter months and had to wait inside. The wait might not be as uncomfortable if you going during the warmer months or not at peak time and can wait outside.

    This is one of my wife's favorite places. I stopped by today with my young daughter, and we had a lovely experience. They specialize in a host of creative crepes along with fantastic cupcakes. If we lived down the street I imagine it would be a frequent late night stop, as they also have an extensive tea and drink menu. However, they also have brunch and dinner service. Today I had a monte cristo on French toast, which was tasty; my daughter had French toast with berry maple compote. The food is generally excellent though I prefer to stop for drinks and desert. Providence has tons of great restaurants but this is one of the more creative ones.

    The atmosphere could not be more adorable. I love the little rooms and charming decor. Their tea menu is extensive and I love that all their teas are loose. Things I love: cupcakes, the duck and bunny roll crepe (smoked salmon, capers, spicy mayo), crepicini with mushrooms and a cream sauce, the bananas foster dessert crepe, etc. I pretty much love all the things I have tried. One thing I don't love is how cramped it is inside. The staff members are cool and friendly. I would like to try their brunch sometime.

    My friends and I made it up to RI this past weekend and tried duck and bunny due to its reviews. We sat at the bar since it was a sunday morning and people love them some sunday brunch. It sounds like a smart idea, but not really. It was where they made all the drinks and the waitresses and baristas were really busy and stressed looking, so it kind of changed the atmosphere of which I was trying to have my meal. Too many people walk through with all kinds of cups and stuff, not the best. My friend and I ordered the duck and bunny crepe roll that came out rolled like sushi with smoked salmon and spicy sriracha. It was interesting, but i was really looking forward to just a regular crepe and wished the waitress would have told me when i asked for advise for choosing between two options. I also had the coconut tea latte, which was disappointing as well. It had a teeny hint of coconut at first, but the rest of the time it tasted like a light mocha latte which i did not enjoy. One of my friends also got the blueberry vegan cupcake which he described as, "eh" and thats pretty much how i would describe the whole restaurant, eh.

    This place has fabulous décor and ambiance! You feel like you are cozy at home in this restaurant. The tea is tasty and the food is out of this world! The tea sandwiches are so good and the cupcakes you could keep eating them till there are no more cupcakes left! Great place to go for any meal, to go on a date or just to hangout with friends and family.

    I think most of the food is good and the people that work here are nice. But, it seems impossible to get someone to come over so you can ask for a second drink after waiting FOREVER. They also seem to forget a lot of things like when you ask for a coffee. It makes the experience not so enjoyable. It just really ruins it for you.

    Crowded, over priced, - I expected better. I wanted to be charmed but I was not turned off by the food but the condescending staff as well. I wanted to like the place - I'm still frustrated that I didn't. For dessert we got a variety of expensive cupcakes - they were awful. I ordered a coconut cupcake, my friends got chocolate - they all tasted almost exactly alike. It took days to get the overwhelming taste of sugar and butter out of my mouth. Have never gone back.

    A year later... the food is still great, the place is as comfortable and as charming as ever... But I'm reminded of why the Duck & Bunny is not a regular go-to spot for me. Because the quality of service is SO inconsistent! You never know what you'll get, and for me that's a real deal breaker.

    Alright. First things first: Duck and Bunny is the freaking place to get breakfast foods. The morning before I proposed to my girlfriend-now-fiance, I brought her here by a recommendation of a close friend. Pretty much, you walk in to a narrow hallway, like you're walking into a person's home then BAM! It's Forever 21 meets Lewis Caroll's Through the Looking Glass all bundled into a quaint bistro-style restaurant. We came on a Sunday around noon and it was packed (I imagine it was the church rush). However, the cozy lobby and friendly staff made the wait feel like we were casually lounging before a hearty breakfast. The debonaire furniture, regal paintings, and candle-filled fireplace made waiting to be seated much more enjoyable than the other Sunday morning diners I've been to. A fine young gentleman by the name of James seated us in the left street-side room. My then-girlfriend was in the corner while I took the chair by the window overlooking the front stoop. While I briefly glanced around the room, I noticed novelty faux-renaissance paintings hung on the walls, and many satisfied customers literally praising this place for surpassing their expectations. As my significant other and I browsed through the menu, we noticed both interesting options explicitly made with fresh local ingredients (D&B list their sources) and considerably low prices (about $5-9 a plate). While she hankered a savory meal, I must admit I wanted something on the sweeter side. Needless to say, we were not disappointed in the poached eggs with hollandaise and Portuguese-French toast with bananas foster. Dude, seriously, these were awesome meals. Low price; super filling; satisfying; overall good breakfast/brunch experience. When James came back around, he asked us if we wanted cupcakes. Yes, cupcakes. And he joked that this was probably the only place he knew of that offered cupcakes after a high-carb breakfast meal, but continued to list the taste bud tempting flavors. I decided on the banana Nutella (continuing with the banana theme), while my woman got her red velvet fix (earlier, she was conflicted, having to choose between red velvet pancakes and the eggs). After we paid, we walked out of there very full and smiling. Thanks Duck and Bunny, she said "yes".

    Delicious vegan bowl and I'm very appreciative that they have a vegan cupcake! I suggest they carry more than 1 vegan option though. Cute concept but like many places on Wickiden St, very crowded and claustrophobic. Very "studenty" as I'm sure most college aged people would have no objections to the tight seating. I think you'd have no problem going here outside of regular meal times. The parking is a challenge. I think the waiters need to approach people waiting by the front door if they're waiting for seating or instructions. A lumber sexual waiter ( bearded) pretended we didn't exist when we stood there waiting for a table for 10 minutes. He saw us but never approached us or said anything . Fortunately , one of the female staff came up to us and offered us a table. The bartender was excellent .

    Cute place with tasty, eclectic menu that is NOT overpriced. Service is always pleasant... no pretentious wannabe hippies as I assumed before going there....just down to earth regular folks there to serve some delicious food! I love their salad with Brussell sprouts...and i've tried almost all their crepes, and they are consistently good. Oh and their coffees are great too! Watching my sugar intake so I haven't tried their cupcakes yet, which btw look mmmmmm... In short, cute place with good atmosphere and great food at reasonable price.

    We were looking for a place to have my sister-in law's bridal shower... and multiple of our friends recommended the Duck and Bunny. My mom and I met up here one day for cupcakes.... and definitely approved! We reserved the small tea room, which they say fits 15, but it was very cramped. We were able to decorate it nicely, and have enough room for gifts etc. We also took advantage of the beautiful gardens outside. The waitress' and hostess were extremely accommodating, bringing us our food, beverages, and cupcakes in a very timely manner. The food, which was mostly crackers with fruit/jam.. was definitely weird and eclectic... they weren't your typical tea sandwiches... but they were well received. The cupcakes and scones were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend using them as a venue, or just stopping by to experience it. I honestly think the best part about this bakery/breakfast place is the charming atmosphere. It is funky, trendy, but classic at the same time. You feel like you stepped into an old British tea house, but have punk rockers serving you. It truly is interesting and worth going to. I loved the decorations, the music, the old brick, the fireplace... the lights.. the furniture. It felt like a dream, a fairytale, but in real life. On another note, they also serve alcohol and are open until 2-3 am! If I lived near here, I would definitely take advantage of this!! One thing for sure is, going to come back and try their brunch. I have only heard unbelievable things about it and need to experience it for myself.

    I can't blame the service... my waiter was fine, but the kitchen needs to pick up the pace. We waited 40 minutes for pancakes (which were delicious). Don't come here if you want a meal and to be satiated. The portions are tiny and the prices are high. The space is cramped, and the whole experience drags. Food that is on the plate is tasty, but I've probably had my only D&B experience. There are tastier options with better atmospheres in Providence that are far more worth your time and $.

    By far one of my favorite places in Providence. If I could make their cupcakes part of every one of my meals and not gain 100lbs, I totally would. Their Reese's pieces is to die for. The service is ALWAYS fantastic. The serves always greet you with a big smile and ask you how you're doing. It is super cozy inside and the outside patio is fantastic when it's warm out. Totally recommend coming here for a good meal, sweets, and awesome service.

    We come here when we are in town. It's a quaint, cozy nook specializing in cupcakes, but we usually come for brunch and coffee/tea. The eggs benedict is served over rosemary focaccia or potato pancakes, which is a superb spin from a standard english muffin. The ambiance is artsy comfort meets a Victorian; a nice space needless to say. It can get packed so come early or put your name down and dart around Wickenden St while you are waiting.

    The best restaurant in Rhode Island. A must stop for visitors to Providence and a repeat for locals. Excellent wait staff that are truly interested in your dining experience. Best for brunch and an late night dessert/ drink while out on a date. The New York system omelette is a brunch requirement. The scones and a drink outside in the back will cap off any date night perfectly.

    Interestingly enough, I worked at this location when it was a different restaurant. It was incredible to see the transformation when it went to the Duck and Bunny. So cute and cozy, and how can you go wrong with cupcakes and beer? They have a light menu, consisting mostly of crepes, tea sandwiches, and small plates. This is the perfect place to go for lunch or to get tasty cupcakes to go.

    The decor is super cute and very eclectic. Nice place to go for a date. I wish there was a larger crepe selection. I kind of expected more options, but there is only like ...four or so. But they had a huge selection of cupcakes and other desserts.

    I went to The Duck and Bunny with my mother for brunch on a Sunday morning, and this was a much better experience than the last time I went. We were seated in the main area (nearer the "bar" seating area). My mother ordered the salmon crepe, and I got one filled with mushroom. My mother's salmon crepe was rolled and cut just like sushi -- it was very aesthetically pleasing and tasted great (coming from me who doesn't like fish). We also ordered the fruit plate since all the dishes were fairly small. My only qualm was the slower service, but to be fair, it was pretty packed. I will be visiting the Duck and Bunny for brunch again because of this positive experience.

    I heard rumors of a quirky, warm, fuzzy little quaint restaurant on Wickenden Street in 2010 when I was still in college. Supposedly they had amazing cupcakes and called their bear "brewhaha". It all seemed so silly and wonderful and too good to be true. But on my 21st birthday I went there with some friends, and sure enough we were wowed by the blend of comfort and class. I sat on a wonderfully gaudy leather chair next to a fireplace with my friends all around me in one of their three rooms (they've also got a back patio that is AMAZING in the summer). Someone told them it was my birthday and after double-checking my ID, the owner made me one of their signature drinks, the Lava Lamb, for free! 1/2 Magners hard cider, 1/2 Guinness, with a floater of Framboise Lambic. Needless to say, I was sold on the place before I had one of the amazing cupcakes. The Red Velvet or Carrot Cake are my go-to, but they also have delicious seasonal choices like the Pumpkin Marscepone in the Fall. Yummm! The food is quirky and varied; heavy on the crepes and pretty rich. If you're planning on eating here for dinner then be prepared for that. The brunch is also some of the best in the city. My favorite thing on the menu is the PBH&B (or something like that) which has Peanut Butter, sliced Banana, and Honey on a portuguese sweet roll. Yeah, it's really sweet. It's also one of the best things you'll ever eat. Admittedly, with a BYOB sushi place just a few doors down, it's hard to convince myself to get dinner at the Duck & Bunny, but it is by far the best place in the entire city if you're looking to pop in for a good drink and/or delicious dessert. You can also do High Tea if you're looking to get all British and fancy. D&B is an experience that every Providence diner needs to have at LEAST once, and the best part about it is that you'll come back time and time again because it is just that good.

    I really loved duck and bunny! It is such a cute little shop and is perfect for high tea or just a cupcake on the go! I came with my parents for brunch during my stay in Rhode Island, and we were very happy here! My dad and I shared two crepes, one with goat cheese, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes, and another with roast beef, onion, tomato, cheddar, and a horseradish cream. They were both very good! My mom got the French toast which she really enjoyed as well! The cupcakes are a MUST HAVE! They were superb! I got a banana nutella cupcake that was out of this world fantastic, and my parents got their s'mores cupcake which they said was the best cupcake ever! Loved coming here, and wish there was one near me so I could eat there all the time!

    I suppose that I'll start with the service.... I don't consider myself hard to please at all (although I do appreciate good service) but I can report, unequivocally, that each and every time that I've visited The Duck and Bunny, the service has been downright horrid. The drinks are ~meh~ at best and candidly, I enjoy cupcakes from Stop and Shop or Whole Foods better than the dry, oddly flavored fare served here. The decor is cozy but it's nowhere near enough to overcome this establishment's deep shortcomings.

    To be fair, the food here is mediocre and overpriced but it's so cute that it's worth the trip. Go just to admire the adorable paintings and the eclectic collection of couches and chairs. Good for a lazy brunch or afternoon tea with friends. I also love a few specific flavors of their cupcakes - espresso and carrot are my faves, and it's fun to go late at night to chill at the cupcake bar. It's my favorite snuggery. (guess how many snuggeries I've ventured to...)

    Very enjoyable visit back in November. Cute and cozy atmosphere (which I suppose some might see as "crowded"). I liked the community type tea room with bar and the transformation of an older home into the space. Sampled both savory and sweet options - savory on the crepe and two different cupcakes of the day.

    What a find! Roommate brought me here for my bday brunch so cute wicked small but that's okay. Forced me to chat up ladies next to me. I'm sure there are tons of reviews about cupcakes so I shall talk about the potato pancakes (latkes) they were delicious. The apple topping. Scrumptious and the wild blueberry tea. To die for. Must go in PVD

  • Asa B.

    The food is wonderful. The eggs bunniduck on latkies is about the best Benedict style thing in town. Everything is wonderful. Their tea is about 2nd notch, but still pretty good (i'm picky). It's great that they do a high tea. My review is based entirely on the food and price. The place is charming. Service is sometimes not up to par, and they usually run a half hour wait for breakfast.

    The atmosphere mixed with an amazing staff makes the Duck and Bunny an amazing combo. They have amazing mixed drinks. With an outstanding selection of desserts. If you get a chance try the Monte Cristo.

  • Holly S.

    I enjoy the Duck & Bunny. It has a very chic vibe and the cupcakes are really good. Besides, I'm happy any time that I can get a pot of good tea. I give it only three stars for a few reasons. First, the cupcakes are good but not fantastic and for the price they charge I expect better. Second, the seating is so cramped that I'm always uncomfortable if we're there in the evening after dinner (I enjoy this place so much more on off times). Finally, it can be slow when they're busy. For me, the Duck & Bunny is good when I can hit it on a slow night. I need to go back and try the drinks (which my son tells me are really good) and the food, not just the cupcakes. Stay tuned.

  • Jessi W.

    Too expensive. You sit too close to other people...some of which smell a little funky. Been here a handful of times and poor service every time. Cupcakes- which I've been told is what they are famous for- are ALWAYS dry, overpriced. Last time we went for dinner, we were told we had to get up from our meal to the bar and wait in line to pick them out- and the line was out the door. Meanwhile we watched as our waitress grabbed cupcakes for the table next to us as they sat there comfortably outside eating the last of their meal and sipping their drinks. I don't often tell people this, but don't bother, and save your money. Betty Crocker easy muffin packets, just add water- $1 at Walmart in the comfort of your own home.

  • Cydney F.

    This place is fantastic. Sure, it's a little overpriced, and the service can be a little slow when they're busy, but the food is delicious (I could eat Distinguished Lincoln crepes all day long) and the staff are so sweet. I brought my mother here the first day she was visiting, and she insisted on coming back every day, even if it was just for coffee and a scone. I go about once a week, usually for brunch on Saturday. It's way less crowded then, and I recommend it if you want to skip the crowds. The patio is lovely, and dog friendly. I've never seen anyone's dogs behaving poorly, but don't bring your pooch if all they're going to do is bark at the other dogs. I was also essentially forgotten on the patio once, but everyone makes mistakes, and it's the only time I've had bad service there. I love the cupcakes too. The summertime lavender is my favorite, closely followed by the salted caramel. They make excellent bribes when you need a friend to do you a favor. My only caveat is NEVER EVER EVER let the owner make you a drink. Ever. Every single time I go in there and she's at the coffee bar, she messes up my drink. No special requests? She screws it up. Specific instructions? She screws it up. She's usually the only member of the staff not wearing all black. Beware. Other than her, they're all very talented and know their way around a beverage.

  • Olivia U.

    "Cozy" is a word I would never use to describe this place. I don't know if it's because I was in the bar area or if the entire joint looks like this, but I found the sterile white/silver everything to be extremely uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful, reminiscent of first snow or something one could say. That's really great and everything but that's not where I'm trying to have my tea. Anyway, I got a hot vanilla chai and it was excellent. I mean really awesome, Wickenden is completely out of my way but I'll definitely go back just for that. My meal and vegan cupcake however were mediocre and expensive. I got a citrus almond salad that was...alright. I got a vegan chocolate berry cupcake that I couldn't taste any berry in. It was also a little dry. The wait staff was really cool and I'd like to go back for alcohol at some point, I just don't like the food or the atmosphere.

    Did Sunday brunch here, around 11am. It wasn't a full house & we could choose outdoor seating on a gorgeous morning. The rest of the clientele were mostly older 55+ women, not really what I was expecting walking in, but just an observation. I really dig the decor of this place & that the backyard feels like you discovered and oasis that you could spend the day at & not be rushed. I think the waitress took that feeling too literally and was pretty spacey. She was friendly & peppy, but forgot a few drinks, the brunch we ordered was pretty slow coming out (crepes should be quick! in my mind) and it took forever to get to the check. We still had a great meal & company, but the few tables around us were not as forgiving. I had the namesake Duck N Bunny Roll- amazing. All the food looked & tasted great & I liked the unique menu. The tea & drink menu was extensive & exciting- the cupcakes were pretty good- some were dry, but I think thats par for the course as far as cupcakeries go. I'll be back to try out more of the menu & take in the ambiance, but not if I'm time constrained!

    My girlfriend insisted that i take her and my kids there to breakfast one Saturday morning...... 4 small crepes, two coffees and two coffee milks later, a $90.00 bill came to the table and i almost threw up all those eggs on the not so polite waitress..... seriously?! Not a fan of overpriced breakfast fare, especially when right down the street there are any number of small diner type places cranking out good old American breakfasts.

    My friend and I went on a Sunday for afternoon tea. I was a little nervous after reading all the bad reviews and having such high hopes for a cute alice in wonderland style tea bar! Afternoon tea was $19, came with a pot of tea, and a tray of mini tea sandwiches, and treats... just enough for two ppl. Everything was delicious! I have to agree that the waitstaff, while not rude, was not great. I paid with a credit card along with the two tables along side me and when the waitress came back she returned to me someone else's credit card. eeek. I didn't even touch the card and immediately told her. She had to make sure that she charged me the correct amount which she did, thankfully. As soon as I said "this isn't my card!" the two other tables perked right up and watched her nervously lol. Ok, so the waitstaff isn't top notch, but they weren't rude either as other posters have pointed out. It's a really cute place. I'd definitely go back... but maybe pay with cash next time ;)

    this is a very fun place to go if you can sit outside with friends. the food is very good and so is the beer. the cupcakes are amazing, I love the tiny ones so you can try different flavors. The interior is very silly and overdone. Duck and Bunny provides a perfect recreational eating experience but it isnt what i would choose alone.

    Have been here once (late night) previously and it was pretty crowded and noisy. But the food was so amazingly delicious that I had to come back at a quieter time. I was the only patron at 3pm on a rainy raw chilly Tuesday afternoon, so I snuggled into a comfy corner table. I ordered the grilled pear and strawberry goat cheese on greens salad, with a thick tangy balsamic dressing. Very tasty. Deciding to have a solo fat kid party, I ordered the bananas fosters ice cream crepe and a decaf caramel latte. Oh my. Truly heavenly. Full fat, full sugar, not at all healthy, but fully delicious. The sweet crepes are definitely big enough for 2 or 3 people to share. Very sweet, bring your sweet tooth and insulin pen if you have a sweet crepe. Perfectly crafted latte too, just the right amount of foam and perfectly temp'ed. Yummy. Total bill for salad, sweet crepe and latte was $26, including tax. Friendly, attentive, professional, (and cute!) staff. Food came out as ordered and pretty quick too. Restaurant is very clean and soft oldies music playing in the background. Finding parking on Wickenden St. is kind of a bitch, try the side streets. D&B is worth a little walk, you'll definitely need to burn off the extra calories. Not an everyday kind of place (too expensive, too decadent) but great for occasional date nights or treating yourself.

    One of my most favorite little spots in Providence! I always bring out of town guests here, and they are always impressed. I've been here for brunch, dinner, and late night snacks, and the food and is always spot on. My personal favorite is the creperito. They always have tons of cupcake options, and they have all been delicious, from what I've tried. The place is very small, and it does get crowded, but always worth the wait. I think if they expanded, it would lose some of its charm. This is the girly-girl's dream place.. a cute little pink house, teas, cupcakes, chandeliers, pretty decor. Love the atmosphere and the whole experience you get when going here! Side note: They also play great oldies music!

  • Jordan M.

    Note: DID NOT try any of the crepes or cupcakes, which they are apparently known for. But we did try the Guinness Float with Coffee Syrup and Vanilla Ice-Cream. A MUST if you're a fan of stouts, coffee, ice-cream, or life. We did try the Truffle Fries, but the truffles sadly took a backseat to the overpowering salt. We tried numerous other cocktails but the other one that stood out was their Mojito which they used mint from their garden. Writing this review, it made me realize how much ambiance and service really plays into an overall experience. We were already full from eating at the Cambodian restaurant down the street, but the service here was really attentive, informative, and friendly. The ambiance was quaint and cozy, like you've step through the looking glass. Last words: A MUST is the Guinness Float with Coffee Syrup and Vanilla Ice-Cream. Going to try and recreate it, but will probably get hammered in the process though all the anticipated failures. It has very unique setting and concept and has great service. Would definitely re-visit this restaurant if I am to go back to Providence again to try the food.

    I have been here several times and I do love the place and the food is normally pretty good. Unfortunately I dont always think the service is up to par. A couple years ago I went in late on a weekend for a cupcake with my boyfriend and encountered the rudest server EVER. She literally gave me a cupcake that was rock solid it was so stale (and ive worked at bakeries before so believe me i know how stale that was). I inquired about getting a different cupcake telling the server i physically couldn't eat it even if i wanted to. She said that it was supposed to be like that and proceeded to eat it at the bar in front of me. The woman was really disrespectful. I like this place because it is unique but they would really benefit from hiring nicer people.

  • Aaron R.

    The word that comes to mind here is "overrated", and I say that carefully. The D&B gets ridiculously great reviews all the time. That's part of the problem. It's so popular that it's become a "hip" place to go, and it's so tiny that it means long, long waits most days at most times. Not a comfortable wait, either - you're kinda pushed into the available nooks and crannies, often standing, usually moving out of the way of waitstaff or coming/going patrons. Plus the tables are kinda small and you're kinda shoved into every possible inch of space in there. There's a reason it's called a "snuggery"...it's quite snug. :) Now I will say the food is quite good. I had their MonteCristo with Portuguese sweet bread for "french toast" and it was done perfectly satisfactorily. The home fries were a little different but that wasn't unexpected and is wholly in character, plus they were tasty. My iced mocha drink was delicious. The cupcakes selection was already kinda decimated that day so we passed and got a dessert crepe instead (Sweet Baby James, I think it's called) which I totally mistook Sweet Vanilla *Mascarpone* for Marizpan instead...my bad, I'll own that. But for a "sweet" crepe it wasn't actually very sweet. Eh, it certainly wasn't bad. I enjoyed my half. And that's kind of the point. The service was good and friendly (and quite quick, too...takes a while to be seated but your food comes out right on time) and the cooking/taste of the food was perfectly satisfactory. But I wouldn't say it's at all good enough to justify all the hype surrounding this place. On that note, I wouldn't QUITE say it was good enough to justify the prices either, which are medium-high. Three coffee drinks, two apps, two brunch entrees and a desert crepe was $62. Not outrageous by any stretch, but you're paying a premium for the ambiance. Or as I like to call it, you're paying the "hipster tax". :) Really I think this comes down to personal preference. If you're a fan of this kind of ambiance and style of eatery...then you're willing to pay slightly higher prices and "pay" in longer wait times, and you'll have a perfectly enjoyable time. If you're not, you'll probably want to pass. There's other solid options for desert, brunch and coffee all within a block or two of Wickenden St.

    My wife and I went here for cupcakes -- which, from what we'd heard, were a house speciality. Alas, it had apparently just been hit by a cupcake shortage, and we had to make do with a small variety plate of pre-chosen cupcakes instead of the ones that had intrigued us on the menu. The rooms are small -- snug is the kind word for them -- I would say cramped; it's like being in smallish rooms in someone's house. The service was slow, and we had a hard time locating our waiter when it was time to pay and go. Our little meal also turned out to be rather more expensive than we'd realized. All in all, a not terribly satisfying experience, though perhaps at a less crowded hour it might have been more pleasant.

    I went to Duck and Bunny for an early dinner with my sister on a weeknight. She had been telling me about this 'snuggery' for ages, and I was very excited to try it. It definitely lived up to my high expectations. The space is very small, and feels like somebody's house. We sat in the bar room, which is very cute - a little like Alice's Tea Cup in NYC but with all white decor. I ordered the Duck & Bunny roll, which is a crepe filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese. It came rolled and sliced like a sushi roll, with a spicy mayo dip on the side. The salmon was very flavorful, and although the dish was not huge, it was plenty for me. My sister ordered the butternut squash crepioli, which is basically ravioli but with a crepe dough. It looked like pancakes when it came out. The flavor was very good, but there was a little too much sauce and it was a little on the sweet side. We split a funfetti cupcake and a chocolate/salted caramel cupcake for dessert, with small cups of hot chocolate. The cupcakes themselves were very good, but the frosting was just heavenly. It was very light and fluffy, almost melt-in-your-mouth. At this point, I was on a big sugar overload so I didn't have room for the hot chocolate, but the few sips I had were good. All in all, a really great spot with very good food. I will be back.

    Tea party!!!! This is the cutest and most elegant little cafe-like restaurant that I been to. Very cozy and great for date and hangout. Foods here tasted awesome. Since they were busy we got the prefixe menu so the selection was limited. Even so the available food choices all sounded awesome. I got the Thomas Henry Crepes with ham and let me tell u when I'm done with it, my tummy was still asking for more! Totally satisfy with this place. My tummy is only getting big for this wonderful gem.

    This place was fun; very crowded in waiting and seating, but delicious none the less. And the decor felt very much like a cozy tea house but also had all the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant or bar. I wished our teas and salad had a bit more flavor, but our dishes were good and I would suggest the Portuguese French Toast and any cupcake! I would also recommend to go during restaurant week if you are going to indulge in a full meal because it can be pricy, but not prohibitively so.. The staff were very accommodating to my allergies as well. I also will try going again, possibly during a less busy time.

  • Leela S.

    The Duck and Bunny is about as cute and cozy as it gets in Providence. Whether the occasion is a date night, a catch-up brunch, or just a cupcake craving, this is an ideal choice. It's a small joint, though, so be prepared to wait if you come at a busy time. However, the size is what makes the place: it keeps it small, charming, and intimate. I've been here for brunch, tea, and post-dinner drinks, and it's always hit the spot. They're known for their cupcakes, with Portuguese Sweetbread being my favourite. In terms of drinks, I rather enjoy the Lava Lambp, which is a cocktail of Guinness and Magner's. Their mulled wine is also decidedly excellent, especially in this brutal winter. No matter what time of the day it is, you'll probably be able to satisfy your pangs here.

    Wow, really great brunch and flexible with the order. Asked them to make the goat cheese, spinach and sundered tomato crepe as an omelet, no problem; and really good. Wife had the tea service and Portuguese Sweetbread Pudding. She couldn't not finish both. Kids had the pancakes with Bacon and Chocolate Chips (with the Bacon in the pancakes) with real Maple syrup, couldn't be finished. Presentation of everything was great, average service. Nice price for the food quality, we will definitely be going back again.

    Had the cupcakes here, and I thought they were pretty subpar...I was expecting something ridiculously good because that's what they're known for, but they came out dry and unappetizing (with limited selection, too!). I'd go for the candy bar or Nutella + bread at the nearby convenience store. Came here on a Friday night, and there were barely any selection of cupcakes left. In addition to the ones we got (red velvet, chocolate mocha, and vegan chocolate + berries), there was only chocolate peanut butter cup and cinnamon walnut(?). Wanted to try chocolate peanut butter cup but they took out the last 2 just a few seconds before we were about to order! Boooo =/. When we tried the cupcakes, we just thought the cake was pretty dry, and the frosting wasn't all too much helpful - they didn't taste artificial (like grocery store cupcakes) which was good, but they weren't memorable either. Red velvet was by far the best out of the mix! Was definitely more flavorful than the other two. For the chocolate mocha, the flavoring is a bit light (especially the frosting), and it left me wanting more oomph. For the vegan chocolate, I was expecting more especially since the outside layer was glossy looking, but it was pretty bland.

    It considers itself a "snuggery" and it really does not fail to make you feel comfortable. Went here a few months ago with a few friends and fell in love. Very cute place, their decor is something that really grabs your attention with many copies of famous paintings that have been taken an edited so there is a duck and bunny in each painting (quite clever in my opinion). Service was friendly and attentive. For a lunch, I got the truffled pommes frites which were addicting and were served in an adorable flower pot. I also split this tea for two type lunch special that I no longer am seeing on their online menu although they may have them in store. It came with 5 finger sandwiches of which my friend and I got the cucumber with herb spread which was very fresh and tasty. It also came with 2 scones, 2 cupcakes, an array of jams, 2 cookies, and a pot of tea. Everything was very good and the food was presented very nicely. Definitely a place I'll be going back to!

    Date night. Definitely not going to watch a game there, but let me tell you, there is no one coming close to serving up peanut butter and fluff sandwich that is not only good, but I can order without the - well there is no other way to order it. So much to try, but again, however you meet up with others, this is a fun time with couples, late night and even outdoors during the summer months.

    Was looking forward to trying Duck & Bunny and finally got a chance after a rare dinner out with hubby. After dinner we skipped dessert and headed over to Wickenden. He wanted something sweet and I was more in the mood for another drink. This place was perfect. He had a coffee and cupcake and I had a glass of wine. We sat at the little bar and after a brief period of confusion - they were just coming off a rush - we got some really friendly service. The bartender was super friendly and we had a good time people watching. The only negative was every time someone came in they left the door open and it was freezing! This might become our new after dinner ritual.

    if this place weren't so cute I'd probably give it one less star- because the food is just not great! Quaint cottage decor and warm atmosphere set the stage for an amazing dining experience- but the food didn't deliver. To start I had the bacon wrapped dates (crispy and flavorful) with a Monte Cristo sandwich (essentially two pieces of French Toast with ham and cheese- not memorable). Two cupcakes for dessert (Mocha and Tiramisu) which tasted good but nothing to write home about! The waitress and the restaurant are so cute but they gotta kick up the food a notch! All the ingredients of a perfect little restaurant without the proper execution.

    We had our daughter's birthday party here -- five adults and seven 6-year-olds took over the tea room for afterschool tea. It was totally seamless and lovely. The food, ambiance, and service (yay for Paula!) was perfect. I don't like cupcakes much and am gluten-free, but I tried the gluten-free cupcake to be festive and it was damn good. I love that the girls had a great time and the grown-ups got to have a glass of wine (the roh-zay was fabulous!) and pretty much relax. I will admit, when we walked in at 3pm on Friday and they said our table wasn't ready I was a bit perturbed. I'd made the reservation 10 days before and was nervous about keeping the kiddos corralled, particularly in such a small space. But it was fine. They recovered quickly and it was all smooth sailing after that. The experience was definitely laid back -- so if you want some place that's going to cater to your every party-planning need, this probably isn't the place! but if you want something nice, memorable, and yummy without a lot of fuss, I can't think of a better spot than this sweet little snuggery.

    We went to the Duck and Bunny for brunch this morning and I was pleasantly surprised. Usually, the type of restaurant that serves afternoon tea wouldn't be right up my ally, however I'm glad I didn't put up a fight when Duck and Bunny was selected. The house is intimate and has really interesting art, which are all recreations complete with ducks and bunnys superimposed. I got the Thomas crepe which was a new experience for me as I've never had a crepe with meat in it. It was excellent. My girlfriend got perfect poached eggs that she loved. The cupcake I had for desert was just the right size for brunch, peanut buttery and chocolatey deliciousness.

    I want to like this place, I really do. It is beyond me why they run out of cupcakes at 9 pm (OR EARLIER!) every single weekend and do nothing to mitigate the situation. Are they aware that they are losing revenue when this happens? It's seriously beyond me. With that being said, the ambiance is adorable for a girls night and the cupcakes are great if you can get them. Highly recommend the red velvet. The wait staff could care less about being there - in fact I bet that they sell out of cupcakes on purpose to get everyone out of there. But again, the decor makes up for this hidden gem.

    I love this place. Great food, interesting drink menu, the cupcakes are delicious, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting. In the summer, they have a backyard patio that looks like a mini garden retreat (complete with string lights that hang from above). The wait for seating can be a bit long (as it is a small place and seating is limited) but it is worth the wait.

    Great cupcakes if they have any left.... Everytime I go here they have a couple left and that's it wish they had a better selection and more of them. Check out my full review here restaurantri.com/2015/03…

    This little whimsical, cozy place has become our go-to spot in providence. Not many vegan options but they do have a vegan bowl with rice, beans, greens, etc. not bad. Crepes are delicious, interesting combinations for both meals and desserts...also they are not too thin. There is so much crepe variety you really can't go wrong here unless youre craving seafood which they don't have much of. The bunny bleu salad is delicious (spinach, walnuts, apple, blue cheese) as well as the creperito ( a burrito but a crepe wrap), strawberry dessert crepe, truffle and mushroom crepe, PIZZA crepe, etc. All solid choices. The draft beer options are limited but they had dogfish head on tap one time so i was happy. They don't serve hard alcohol (only beer and wine) so the cocktails aren't too strong but they are creative. Sitting near their fireplace is so cozy so its nice on cold days when we can get a seat there.

    The Duck and Bunny is wonderful for food! The drinks are a little pricey and the service is a little slow, but the food makes everything worth it. It is a cozy little place that we stumbled upon and fell in love with their food. I highly recommend a stop here if you are in Providence. We've been a few times now, once with a large group and a few times with just two people. The time we went with a group, we noticed that it's not well set for a large group but if you have a group of 4 or less, this is definitely a place to go.

    One of my favorite places that I came to when I visited Providence. The interior is cute with a vintage-feeling. They have a big selection for coffee and drinks. This place is known for their crepes. It was extremely delicious, by the way. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating to their guests. The waitress we had went out of her way to surprise my friend with a birthday cupcake! Lovely place. I will return!

    Unique and imaginative menu with terrific presentation (get the hot chocolate--the foam is shaped into both a duck & bunny). Not to mention the atmosphere lives up to a "snuggary." This a great place if you're looking for somewhere "different," for a date, to impress someone, and to go with a group.

  • bit a.

    Wow. there is so much creativity and artistry in the both the food and the business. I went with crepes both savory and sweet the Mrs. went with the afternoon tea. It hit all the marks and with all the little bonuses. this is 5 star quality stuff except had to remove one star because of the earl grey. it was either stored at this location (or perhaps its suppliers) in proximity to Russian smoked tea. It picked up the distinct flavors. We informed the staff hopefully they will address it or take it up with their supplier. We had such a great time and the food over all was well above par. will repeat and will give them another shot with the tea again.

    I met up with a group of friends for dinner on 6/24/14. This was probably my 4th time at this restaurant, but the 1st time for dinner with a larger party (group of 9). As usual, the food was great. I had the Umbrian, which was a nice combination of flavors. Unfortunately our waitress was incredibly rude. When she came to take our order, she was obviously annoyed when we were not ready. When she came back a second time, I was about to ask her advice to help me decide between two options. Before I had the opportunity, she snapped at me, saying she'd come back when everyone was ready, and went off in a huff. It was an awkward and uncomfortable experience for everyone at our table. Some of us had also asked for pastries to go. We asked 3 times for these before she brought them to our table. When she finally did bring these items, she placed them in front of the wrong person, with no explanation (this person had also ordered something to go, but was picking it up at the counter, so we assumed this was her order). Our waitress appeared annoyed that we did not realize that she brought them to our table. She gestured toward the boxes near our friend, saying, "I already brought them out. They're over there." There were several other instances where it was obvious that she just could not be bothered with us. I realize larger parties can be cumbersome for waitstaff. That being said, any server with minimal customer service skills should be able to manage a party of 9 on a sleepy tuesday night! Prior to this dinner I was considering reserving this restaurant for a large private party. After this experience and after reading some similar reviews, I'm definitely looking elsewhere! Nice food and decor; however nothing can compensate for rude behavior!

    I've been here a few times, food is good but the service and experience is great. I don't know a lot about wine or cheese and they are always on point with their recommendations. I love the close quarters and house-like feel of the place. Great place for a date night or a delicious cupcake or crepe. I have not been on the patio but i would like to sit outside with a big cigar and glass of red.

    After being rained out at an outdoor event, I was happy to find a "snuggery". I've never quite heard of or been to a snuggery but I'm glad I discovered this place. Upon walking in, I see an old Victorian transformed into an adorable dainty wine and cupcake bar. Who knew these existed? While I had already had lunch and just stopped by for a snack, I loved seeing all the creative food nearby (crepe roll anyone?) I thoroughly enjoyed my wine and red velvet cupcake and look forward to returning again to try many more things.

  • Lizzy M.

    I like this place. Drinks are a tad pricey, but there is a back patio for outdoor summer eating and drinking. The pub itself is dark mahogany wood and the kind of place you could be for hours, chatting with friends. Bartenders were nice - haven't tried the food.

  • anastasia c.

    Came here for dessert after having hibachi. My friends raved about this place so I thought I'd give it a try. Basically, this is an adult version of dessert heaven. The cupcake bar has a light, they have drinks, coffee/espress, and full-leaf tea. The service is absolutely awesome and very friendly. It's a great little place to go for a first date if maybe you wanted to get something small or even great as a place for after dinner somewhere else.

    Super shabby chic explosion all over this place...boas lining the walls, white and pink crystal chandeliers. I was sitting in a little "box" which perfectly fit my head (this is impossible to explain, I realize), but if I moved out of the way of it I was basically on top of my friend and then if I sat in the head-box-thing then I was far away, and if I sat next to it, the back of it poked me in the back. Awkward. Food was good (I got the mexican crepe burrito) and truffled home fries (not the best). However, they'll make a latte out of any type of tea, the cupcakes were delicious (my friends and I tried nutella/banana, Portuguese sweet bread pudding cupcake- AMAZING, carrot cake, funfetti, almond joy and red velvet.) I also had an egg nog latte which was really just putting me over the edge in terms of fatness, but it was worth every calorie. I'll go back and try their drinks/cocktails....so many interesting combinations: tons of cocktails with beer and Magners and french raspberry lambic and Guinness, so strange, yet intriguing.

    Duck and Bunny is famous for its cupcakes but the rest of the food and drinks are great too. My favorite crepe is the Monica & Rachel. The vegan, or gluten-free or whatever (bowl advertised at the bottom of the food menu) is amazing! When a restaurant has its one super-healthy dish I usually stay clear. That day I was trying to eat especially healthy so I tried it. Unbelievable! My friend tried it and love it too. Then to balance the healthiness I had champagne in a can. Seriously. Champagne in a can. I had to have it because it's...well...champagne in a can! Then the rest of their champagne dishes, sadly no can, are also fantastic. I'm not a fan of overly sweet or overly girly drinks and they have plenty of not so sweet drinks. As for overly girly...you're in a restaurant that caters tea parties for little girls, when in Rome...

    I have a love hate relationship with D&B. I love the cozy little place, the decor and in the summer the outdoor patio is a nice retreat. Their brunch is lovely and their crepes are wonderful - with both sweet and savory choices. They also get points for originality. I had to try the hot wiener crepe on a recent visit. Yes, it was good but one of those things you can only try once. Ever. On a recent visit, their homemade tomato soup was the perfect thing to warm me on a cold winter day. Their honey latte is so good. House brewed coffee, steamed milk and honey to sweeten. But I just don't love their cupcakes. I've tried them on at least 4 different occasions and they are sub-par. Dry, old and not satisfying. And their service, while pleasant and all, is so damn slow from the waitresses to the food service. Slow, slow, slooooow. Oh D&B, how you tease me so.

    This review is in regard to Bridget and her awesome baking creations!! We decided to do cupcakes for our wedding and someone recommended The Duck and Bunny. We set up an appointment with them and they were very accommodating and let us try a bunch of different types of cupcakes. If you have never had a D&B cupcake, do yourself a favor and get over there. They are out of this world!! I'm not a big sweets person, but I CRAVE these cupcakes. The staff was very helpful and Bridget, the cupcake master, came out and asked us what other flavors we wanted to try. She set up a second tasting with us and specially made us the cupcakes we requested. My 2 favorites were Banana Nutella and Canoli. My husband loved the peanut butter and mocha flavors. They helped us pick a nice variety of cupcakes and delivered them to the venue on the morning of our special day. They were not only delicious, but also beautiful and everybody raved about them! I would 100% recommend working with the lovely people at Duck & Bunny and we plan on stopping there for desert on our 1 year anniversary celebration!

    We went to the Duck and Bunny for dinner. The white decor made me feel like I was going to a childhood tea party in some tripped out dream. I was further confused in that the speakers were playing grunge music. The combination of the two seemed a bit odd. The bar area was pretty busy, but we did not have anyone sitting to the right or left of us. The place is small and cozy, but it wasn't really our scene. We ordered two crepe pizzas. They portions were large (too much for one person) and had a lot of flavor. My husband didn't like that the onions on his pizza were nearly raw, but I liked it. We enjoyed our food overall and the service was great (contrary to some other reviewers, we had a very attentive waiter).

    This place is very overrated. I've had some of the worst cocktails ever here, including a completely undrinkable watery Sangria with dried out orange chunks (which is pretty easy to make) and the food is mediocre (at best) for the price. They try to get mileage out of their cutesy aesthetic, but if the food and drinks are bad, I won't be back.

A definite must-do experience!

    Stopped in yesterday for some hot chocolate and the Angelina crepe. Good hot chocolate, about the same level as Seven Stars. I like my liquid chocolate a bit on the dark side though and that is hard to find. I lean more towards Pastiche/Al Forno for this. The crepe was good if you like the bitter lemon, blueberry, not so sweetened cheese type stuff. It was good but I didn't realize it was not a very sweet crepe so I would probably stick with the nutella banana. The mini red velvet cupcake is good too. I love the music they play in here, from the 50's. Doesnt get any cuter than this. My waitress was very nice. Her name escapes me but she had long dark hair. Overall a good experience 02/25- taking a star off for customer service. I contacted them with some questions about ordering a birthday cake and no one bothered to get back to me. I will take my business elsewhere

    I mean really? This place is just adorable. I can't get over first impressions, and when we walked into what looked like someone's home in the South, I was immediately in love. We started with that incredible drink they called the Lava lamp. I think. Anyways it had hard cider, Guinness and Raspberry syrup. This drink was one of the best I've ever had. Like EVER. Paired with the salted caramel chocolate cupcake, and the hot chocolate cupcake, this was the best afternoon snack I think I have ever had. Again, like EVER. The woman near us had the Monte Cristo French toast, and I think I would have given up one of my cats for a bite of it. The cheese plate and the eggs benedict all looked amazing. So yummy. Really so yummy. Eli better bring me here for real food next time. I'm just saying.

    Feminine, petite, and pretty are what comes to mind when I think of the decor. White/milk glass looking chandeliers hang delicately. Unique, adorable seating inside and seasonal outside patio dinning. A lovely place to have tea. The menu is light with choices like crepes, salads, tea sandwiches, and cupcakes. I have tried many items and all are delightful and tasty. The tea selections are wonderful, love the large pot of the sencha tea. I liked the strawberry sassafras tea so much I bought a small can of the loose tea leaves for home. The service is good but often very busy and remember it isn't a large establishment. Now on to the cupcakes! Scrumptious! In my family we all have our favs, carrot cake & buttermilk honey lavender are mine! The red velvet, dark chocolate salted caramel, & double chocolate vegan with berries are my families favs too. Don't forget the cakes are divine. Brandy (the baker) is very accommodating when it comes to cakes and is helpful with any ideas. Omg, the buttermilk cake with nutella filling! So amazing! I've ordered for birthdays or special events. Alright, I noticed when I stopped in the other day to pick up a cake they have new cupcakes I haven't tried, oh my how I love the mini cupcakes for just this reason!

    I'm going to handicap this with a disclaimer because I'd already had a bottle of wine at Sakura and was hammered by the time the wife talked me into the patio of the D&B. So you've been warned. In a blurry, drunken nutshell: Snuggery: nice concept. Love the patio. Drinks: White sangria was bland and not memorable at all. Became progressively more disgusting as the ice melted . Didn't finish it. Food: the strawberry sundae is a dessert feat beyond all comprehension. Strawberries, ice cream, deep fried crepe, choco-sauce. Tasty. Decadent. Over the top. Not recommended when you've been drinking all night long. Be smart and share it with a loved one. Don't make a goddamn pig of yourself like I did. Bathrooms: they need another one, because the dishwasher was in there dropping a deuce every time I needed it. Attractive lavatory, but it's right next to the kitchen and the patio entrance, so it makes for a seriously awkward wait as you're stuck right in the servers' traffic. Service: Meh. Friendly. She was busy. Check took forever to drop, but I suppose that they intentionally don't rush you at a snuggery. Cost: Yoikes! Final verdict: insufferably cute with some peculiarities. I'd be down to try actual dinner here. Maybe next time I'll go in sober.

    This is by far the cutest place in Providence. It's in a small space but with a lot of charm. There's a short hallway with a lounge area at the end and two small rooms on both sides. The food is delicious and the cupcakes are amazing.

    If I could give 3.5 stars, this would get it- the key word at Duck & Bunny is "darling" (also note, it's an ampersand, not the word 'and' in their name- to give you an idea how conspicuously twee we are here). It is the perfect place for all the college students and 20somethings to take their parents or each other on cutesy dates. So what's my issue? I like them, but I want them to be so much more, to try harder and be the best at what they're trying to do, not just to be happy as the backdrop to an endless mill of Anthropologie fodder. So what it boils down to is complacency. I feel like the quality and service is inconsistent. Most of the time their crepes are tasty, and their coffee and teas are nice too. But of everything, what makes this place 2nd tier on my places to go in the evening? Two things: 1) You never know if you're going to get a hipper-than-thou (and typically younger, less attuned) server, or someone who can do their job reliably and well. But apart from the wobbly service, 2) The cupcakes. Ehhhhhh.... ok, some of them are killer good and some of them, well, I could do better at home. But the thing is, cupcakes are their thing! I know D&B is capitalizing on froufy cupcakery, and so what? Sh*t's tasty! But if they're your thing, why don't you bring your A-game to ALL your cupcakes? Because when you do, boom, homeruns always! I know someone there has had training. I know the purveyors know how sublime cupcakes in NYC are. Why aren't they reaching harder? Why isn't the buttercream silky ALWAYS? Why aren't the proportions more balanced frosting/filling/cake proportion-wise? Make sure ALL your cupcakes measure up to high standards, not just the regular cupcakes but the experiments too! And make sure they're not stale! When D&B has it together, they kill. But more often than not, I just feel them haphazardly phoning it in.

    Ok so let me just say I was dying to go here, however I was ever so disappointed! I mean it's a cute little place! Service is O.K. and the wait was very short for a friday night. However this little hide away was very medicore given the hype. Honestly went there for some cocktails and cupcakes but found out they run out!!! Given it was almost the end of the night..i guess i could understand but..seriously it's a "snuggery". You go for comfort food. I don't understand how a place who boosts about the cupcakes they sell, doesn't have enough to go around. My friend and I ended up with the last chocolate cupcake and it was horrible. The cupcake was so terribly dry and the frosting was much too sweet. I think it tasted like a boxed cake cooked too long. The drinks were expensive and none too impressive. Not to mention we ended up waiting FOREVER for our 2nd drink. I will say however the server made sure our cute little water glasses stayed full (its a dying service). The place is very small but I think that might be the point. We did share N.Y. system style crapes, they were yummy. So I guess that was the best thing about this place. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Too small to sit and just read a book and enjoy a tea as it would be very loud..too expensive to be worth it.

What a perfect start to the day. It was an early Saturday morning and there were snow flurries outside. Can I say perfect, again? We all ordered off the brunch menu and got espresso drinks. Everything was delicious! I loved the atmosphere of this place so much. You felt like you were at someone's house. Very, very cozy. If I lived in RI, I would frequent this place very often. More places need to be like this, for sure! Duck and Bunny, 5 stars all the way!

    I wish I lived in Providence just so i could go here once in a while. My boyfriend and I went here around 6 p.m. one day. He got a chai latte, and i order a lava lamp, which is some beer thing and it's really freaking good, and looks awesome too. Order it if you like beer. We also got the truffle fries and salmon purses. It was all delicious, the salmon was fresh, but the truffle fries weren't as good as chicago but still very truffl- y. and yes the place is as adorable as it looks in the pictures. so our very charismatic, and friendly waiter persuaded us to look at the cupcakes which i am weak for. i immediately chose the dark chocolate salted caramel one, and was shocked as bf ordered the chocolate pb one (he hates dessert, weird i know.) He and i both LOVED the cupcakes especially his PB one. the service here blew me away as well as the food, drink and dessert. Go hereee!!! it's awesome.

    Amazing treats, fantastic decor, great concept, at night the music is at the perfect volume (just loud enough so you can't hear your neighbors) so it is very intimate. My only qualm is that the servers could be a little more personable. Try the Almond Joy cupcake with a cappuccino or a light crepe with the chocolate wine. Amazing!!! Keep it up.

  • Kim K.

    I went last night with a friend and needed to yelp about three things you absolutely must try if you eat here: 1. the pomme frites - with truffle oil and a dusting of parmesan cheese - heaven 2. the bacon wrapped dates - Oh...my....god....is all I can say. I would go back and eat three orders of them myself, and maybe a salad. Not at all greasy, how do they do that with bacon??? 3. the hot chocolate cupcake - it comes in a coffee cup and saucer; more like a hot lava cake with homemade whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Definitely don't share this with a friend. I would have given it five stars except the crepe was ok, nothing memorable. Also, we were there in a room with a large group. People, I'm not sure how the word "snuggery" inspires someone to book a table for 20 but they did and made the place feel very cramped. That said, our waitress was awesome and made sure we didn't get eclipsed by the needs of the mammoth party (who were very polite by the way). All in all a great experience and I would go back in heart beat for those dates...

  • Caitlin G.

    The concept of this place is so wonderful! Cupcakes, drinks, and crepes, all served in a dazzlingly outfitted historic house. The atmosphere is excellent, and this is primarily what the review is based upon. It's an old house that's been beautifully decorated: a gorgeous color scheme, opulent crystal chandeliers and plush armchairs inside, and outside it's a lovely little garden terrace and patio. A warm, inviting and chic environment to say the least. Drinks and food... they didn't really do it for me. It's expensive here, and I feel that the quality isn't reflected in the price tag. All of the varieties of cupcakes sampled were on the drier side, and they were -- no pun intended -- very vanilla. The mixed drinks were weak. The pear crepe that we ordered wasn't great, there wasn't much cheese and the pears weren't cooked long enough. They've got a good beer list, so I'd definitely return for one of those and the atmosphere again.

    Amazing atmosphere, had a lot of fun just posing in pictures with friends. The PB&B (peanut butter and banana) was a huge portion for just $7 and my Dougie looked small but filled me up. We arrive 20 minutes after they opened and got to sample their cupcakes fresh from the oven. The Banana/Nutella and Carrot Cake were moist and flavorful, but my friend's brownie cupcake was a little tuff. Food's great, only con is their $4 teas are a little small, they come in tiny teapots. But taste great if you're into tea.

  • Danielle J.

    Upon first entry, I thought the place had multiple personality disorder. The decorations were both Victorian and modern, but not in a way that meshed. The cafe was relatively empty when I first arrived, but the bartender/barista was not too friendly or helpful. When I asked her about the different cupcakes, she gave me the bare minimum. When I asked her about the flavor of the blueberry tea, she didn't have any information. When I mentioned that my cup was dirty (I shouldn't be served a dirty cup in the first place), she said nothing -not even an apology- as she replaced it. I promptly stopped speaking to her. My tea was practically flavorless and the only vegan cupcake was also mediocre. To be fair, the other waitstaff were very pleasant and the Portugese Sweet Bread cupcake was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Other than being too expensive and gaudy in decor, I mostly enjoyed my afternoon reading here.

  • Elizabeth C.

    I have to chime in. I've been to Duck and Bunny at least five times in the past six months. The service is as bad as previous reviewers have said. I chalked up the first bad experiences as "new restaurant growing pains". There are too few waitstaff and the waitstaff that are working seem to always be new and don't know how the place runs yet. When the waitstaff should be busy, (i.e, the restaurant is packed and busy), they seem to congregate at the bar and move at a frustratingly slow pace. Even more frustrating, I watched (and corrected) a waitstaff who was plucking cupcakes out of the case with her bare hands and licking the frosting on her fingers! On the positive side, the cupcakes and food are great. I love the concept of the full bar, and full tea service, and the location and building are adorable. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I will be back until I hear that the service has gotten any better.

    Twee to the max! If you like intimate spaces that are decorated to look like a quaint yet sophisticated British tea room complete with highly recognizable paintings by master artists (Van Gogh, Degas, Vermeer, Seurat) redone to feature ducks and bunnies (think: The Duck with the Pearl Earring), The Duck and Bunny is for you. The place is called a "snuggery," for pete's sake: everything is adorable. Their menu offers a wide variety of teas, cupcakes, and other cute, tasty things. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Eggs Bunn-a-Duck," and the Sweet Baby James blintz (strawberries & sweet vanilla mascarpone) while my sister is partial to the Mazzy Star crepe. They even go so far as to suggest beverage pairings (wine, bubbly, mimosa, etc.) for most of the menu items. The cupcake selection is excellent and changes regularly, from what I can tell (I've been twice). That all being said, the D&B is a small establishment, so be prepared to wait if you want to have brunch at a normal brunchy time (11:30/12). The service is generally friendly, and the prices, while not a super steal, are fair.

    I enjoyed my first Duck and Bunny experience, and appreciate that it's designed to be an "experience", enough to return a month later, but I'm just not quite in the fan zone. I couldn't resist getting the Mazzy Star crepe with earthy mushrooms, truffle oil and fontina cheese a second time. I dig the side of greens with the perfect tangy, light dressing. It was fun to sample a variety of tea sandwiches but they weren't special aside from being dainty and artfully served. Some of them could've just as easily been served on a bulkie roll at an deli. I'm just not getting the cupcake buzz. I think they do a great job of making flavorful frostings just-sweet-enough with a soft texture, but 3 out of 4 of the cupcakes I've sampled have been throat-cloggingly dry. Thank god for the milk! Love the name "snuggery", but the atmosphere to me feels more chic than cozy; maybe my cozy sensibilities are just more traditional.

    Like another reviewer, I was tempted not to write a review at all solely because more people would find out about this amazing place and then come in droves. And that brings me to my only con and the reason it gets four stars and not five: not enough room. That being said, it's a "snuggery." The petite space is meant to be cozy and personal, not big and anonymous. Still, I wish there was just one more room for seating. That aside, I am a devotee. I was introduced to the Duck and Bunny at a Brown event and was amazed by their mini cupcakes (and freaking adorable name and logo). The cupcakes are not necessarily super moist like the kind you make from a box. They are dense and their texture is more like a madeleine than a pound cake. Still, they are utterly delicious and flavors in the frosting and crumb are in perfect harmony. The first interlude was wonderfully tasty so I sought out the restaurant itself. Then, I tried a crepe. A Sweet Baby James crepe. And it was at that point that I knew I had found my new favorite eatery. My boyfriend had the Thomas Henry, which was equally mouth-watering. We got cupcakes "to go" but it was all a ruse because we ate them the moment we got back to our place. The waitstaff is friendly if a bit on the slow side. Though I have to say that this is a place one comes to relax and enjoy food, not someplace to zoom in and out of. Can't say enough about the Duck and Bunny. Go and you won't be disappointed.

    Yay! I really like the Duck and bunny its a great little place. A snuggery i believe its called with cute decor that makes it a cute and chic kinda place. To start off we had Ricotta cheese with olive oil drizzle with crusty pane francese and dates wrapped in bacon. I had to get use to the idea of the dates and bacon but it wasnt terrible just different sweet and salty is the term id use. We also had the NY system crepe. Of course it cant compete with NY system wieners but you still have to try it at least once its a great idea. They have a great selection of Teas both caff and decaff and really good Coffee milk :) For dessert, I was going there expecting the Red velvet to be the best but was pleasantly surprised to really like their carrot-cake and with no nuts..(i dont eat carrotcake b/c of nuts so when they told me that cupcake specifically didnot have them i was in love) For those coffee lovers: the mocha espresso cupcake is very good but I wasnt too fond the the lavender frosted one, the cake was tough and not as soft. Their mini cupcake options make it easier to sample more if you really want to get your fill. They had a seasonal pumpkin cupcake but they sold out..bummer! *UPDATE* I had their Truffled Pommes Frites OMG DELICIOUS ! Staff is friendly and both times i have been there i have eaten outside in the back patio area which is esp nice in the evening.

    If you're looking for a small bite to eat in a really cutesy atmosphere, come to the Duck & Bunny! They have a gorgeous inside with about three rooms, all with white chandeliers and a small bar located in the main room. I really enjoy this place, specifically if I am looking to have a nice cup of tea or coffee with a delectable homemade cupcake! I would more likely come here for brunch, rather than dinner. their menu is a little short, but non the less delicious, mostly serving crepes with a funky twist. During the spring and summer months, they have an outside patio that is super nice. Nice green vines growing along the fence and a relaxing little spot with outdoor couches. if youre looking for a place to bring your mum when shes in town, or a spot to meet a friend in town, check out the Duck & Bunny!

    A snuggery is defined as: A cozy or comfortable place, esp. someone's private room or den. But is it possible for a place to be too snug? Absolutely. I'm not talking about snug in the comfortable, spatial, private sense, but snug from feeling crowded in and claustrophobic. There is a sizable local following, but the unfortunate location is small and fills up quickly. The ambiance of a quiet, clean well lit place that is being sold is destroyed with the noisy crowd that frequents this place. You have to fight your way to a showcase of cakes and jostle with other customers to get what you want. Their confections are nice, but nothing great. The Red Velvet cupcake could best be described as grainy. Speaking of confections, why couldn't they list their cupcakes on a menu? The wait staff seems clueless and act like talking to customers is a chore. Places like this separate themselves from the pack by offering the ambiance they project. You don't find what's promised here. I have a suggestion. Based on the attitude of management and people who frequent this place, this place would best be described as the SMUGGERY.

    The draw are the cupcakes and the liquor. They do have a full menu but what you'll want are the cupcakes. Every single cupcake I've had except the Portuguese sweet bread cupcake has been amazing. The problem is the lack of staff. The first time I went there was one waitress and I believe the owner serving. We had to wait a pretty long time for service. We then went back the Sunday night afterward and the place was halfway packed and only the owner was on duty. We didn't even get a chance to get anything to drink with our cupcakes because he never came around. I completely understood that he was busy but if the place is busy, hire more staff. The place is awesome and I will definitely go back but they really need more people working the place.

    I'm giving the Duck and Bunny, 4 stars. I would recommend it and I would come back too! I came here with a friend on a Saturday morning. The layout is quaint with a few tables in each "room". This restaurant is in a converted apartment space, and used to be another eatery (I can't recall the name off-hand). I had a crepe, and my friend had the duck& bunny, which were little sushi roll sized bites of what was like a rolled up sandwich wrap. The pepper kernels looked like little cute bunny poops on the plate. HAHA, sorry to come across as gross, but it definitely made me giggle. I won't mind coming back... :D

    Try explaining what Duck & Bunny is to someone who's never been there and you'll have a hard time. It's a cafe in the form of a princess tearoom with a great selection of beers and wines... and it is AMAZING. That is the best I can do. The cupcakes here are absolutely to die for. I don't normally like cakes/cupcakes so that's a LOT coming from me! I've been to those trendy cupcake-fad places in NYC and Southern California but never have the blown my mind the way Duck & Bunny has. The Peanut Truffle and Red Velvet were amazing. There was also a coconut flavor that may have been an Easter special that I absolutely loved, loved, loved! Also, the "Flourless" (spelling?--it's supposed to be gluten free) was surprisingly delicious! I did NOT expect such moistness and flavor from something gluten-free. Duck & Bunny--you will forever have a home in my heart.

    Visited this place recently with some friends. Arrived at 6:30pm on a wednesday and it wasn't busy at all, by 8 it had really started to fill in and at 10pm was still pretty rockin. The menu varies so that keeps stream of patrons coming in for either a light lunch, high tea or cupcakes and beer. Friends got a salad and a crepe - both got thumbs up from them. I only sampled their tea - so so much better than I treat myself to at home. $3 a 16oz pot. And then finished off with a chocolate cheesecake cupcake (regular size is $2.75 - I think) and a mini red velvet is $1.25. Both were awesome!! The place fits in well with the neighborhood, antique shops, etc...

    We ordered a birthday cake from the Duck and Bunny because of how wonderful their cupcakes are. Brandy, the pastry chef, called back to have a conversation about the cake flavor, filling and frosting. The cake was absolutely delicious as well as beautiful to look at. Brandy's approach to decorating was gorgeous and highly creative -- finding a way to incorporate a birthday message without sacrificing the flavor elements we'd asked for on the frosting.

    As someone who is obsessed with any place French/Parisian-esque and well decorated with a unique and interesting menu, discovering this adorable Snuggery known as the Duck and Bunny was the "icing on the (cup) cake" and has been added to my top list of establishments here in Providence. Having been there 5 times in the past 2 months, I almost hang my head in embarrassment that yes----it's me again...I'm back....sorry! I'm sure the owners don't mind though, especially since I'm always bringing new people to introduce them to my new favorite hot spot. The decor is amazing--simple yet elegant combining NYC chic with Providence trendiness (as I like to call it) and a dash of European charm. When you're done gawking at the silver ceilings, striped walls, studded white leather seats, and whimsical finishing details, you can begin to look at the menu. The selection is creative combining things you might not always pair together, but taste amazing such as dates wrapped in bacon, ricotta cheese with olive tapenade, and a New York System crepe! (If you haven't had a New York System----you don't know Providence!) I've tried a good assortment of items and haven't been disappointed by anything yet. The ricotta cheese with olive tapenade and French bread appetizer is so good that I now make this dish at home on a regular basis. (Not so great for the diet I suppose----but cheating is well worth it!) The crepes are delicious and decent portions (even for my boyfriend who is not into "foofy" food by any means and having small teasers as a so-called meal). The drink list is appealing for all and even includes a Guinness cocktail?!?! Of course your visit to the Duck and Bunny is not complete without an almost-too-pretty-to-eat cupcake! Just be careful when staring at the lovely display to choose which one you'd like. If you're wearing a skirt, you may have a Marylyn Monroe episode since its right above a floor vent. Woops!! This is a great place for an intimate cozy evening or to bring a group of friends to have fun and relax. The outdoor terrace features warm and inviting lights, a fire pit, comfortable bistro furniture and a pergola fit for lovely tea sandwiches, scones, and high tea with Grandma. When it gets chilly, put the "Snuggery" to use and grab a soft fleece wrap to snuggle with. All in all a delightful place with exciting and delicious food and enchanting atmosphere!

    My Duck and Bunny experience was an overall really enjoyable one. We got seated right away, and even though we were a party of two, for a Friday night, it was nice not to wait. The waiter was really nice and helpful, he brought us water right away as well. When we were ordering we ordered an item that was noted that would take about 20 min and even though the menu stated it the waiter still made sure we were aware of it. Our appetizer came out in a timely manner just as we were getting pretty hungry. We ordered the truffled pomme frites which were spectacular. The hand cut fries were perfectly seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, a little sprinkle of cheese and truffle oil. The portion was great for two people or one really hungry person if they really wanted to. We waited for another 20 minutes for the entree but it was worth the wait. The Creppza that we ordered was delicious. It was topped with caramelized onions, figs, goat cheese, marscyepone cheese, and drizzled with a honey balsamic vinaigrette. It was the best "pizza" I've had in a while. Everything came together beautifully. Our other entree was the Duck and Bunny Roll with smoked salmon, cucumbers, herb cream cheese, scallions, spicy mayo and caper garnish. It was little compared to the pizza but was still good none the less. Needless to say I will return to this unique and cozy restaurant.

    PRO: Decor is very cute!! Pictures come out wonderfully. Also, the food is presented in a very delicate, cutesy manner. Emma Watson is always here, so if you're lucky, you'll see her. CON: The cupcake suck. Dry and tasteless. I've even had better at Starbucks. It's overpriced for what it is. OVERALL: Good to the eye. Bad to the wallet and taste buds.

    This is probably the cutest little boutique restaurant I've ever been too in Rhode Island! The ambiance is very cozy and casual, although it's also dressy at night, either way you're good. Besides having their sublime cupcakes, the entire menu is awesome. I personally love the Tiny Evans Eggy cup (yum)! Their blue cheese and pear salad is also delish! We come here every now and then and I can't rave enough about it. The crepes, salads, everything are all good! I definitely recommend coming here for brunch and getting a table outside when it's all nice and sunny out! Oh, make sure to take cupcakes to go! They make the perfect visiting gift! One factor that needs to be address is the service time. We waited 45 minutes for crepes to finish!

    Like any restaurant a lot of your experience depends on who is serving you, and who is preparing your food. I've been to the D&B maybe three times now, and my food has always been good. I really enjoyed the Dougie Boy, and I've had delicious cupcakes. Sometimes the service is slow and far too casual. Another time I've had excellent service with a very attentive and professional waitress. I'll probably be back again one day, but I'm not in a rush. I say go, it's hit or miss.

  • Caroline M.

    Flat out, I love the D&B. I would never have dreamed that the "snuggery" concept would work, but Dan and Jess have nailed it. D&B works as a restaurant (great bustling conversation starter for a first date), bar (no hard alc, but super creative champagne and wine cocktails and a tots decent list of beer specials), an internet cafe, and a cozy alcove to hang out with friends. My D&B secret is that it's best late night - when I go it's usually alone with my computer from 9pm-1am. Less crowded, easier parking, better service, calm/romantic vibe by the fireplace in the room to the right, and the increased chance of free cupcakes before they put them away for the night. I don't recommend it during prime time hours - cramped and noisy. The decor is over the top - but somehow it adds to the charm. Bonus points for the wild creativity of crepe presentation - my favorite is the "crepucini," which is cut to look like linguine and served like pasta! As a regular, I'm always very warmly greeted by the servers and owner - but I agree that service can seriously be lacking when it comes to basics like water refills. The beer garden in the back is one of the best in Providence during the warmer months. And it's true - the cupcakes are divine!

    Calling all girly girls: high tea, Norah Jones, cupcakes, chandeliers, and crepes. My boyfriend and I just finished up brunch at this very pretty nook. We had Chamomile Vanilla Bean tea, along with the high tea set up and a crepe. We agreed that the food was very good--the scones were some of the best we've ever had, the salad was addicting, and that peanut butter chocolate cupcake...MMM. The decor is something nice too. Remember the now-defunct magazine Domino? Think dainty feminine touches such as striped wallpaper, white chairs, pillows for the bay windows, tea cups. Cute cute cute. I would definitely come back again but I'm not sure if I would bring him with me. I think we were just lucky to find out that there would be a bathroom for him.

    My boyfriend and I started out a romantic evening here and it was exactly what we were looking for. Our crepes were perfect. I am not sure I have ever had such a perfect crepe. We both had the special but I can't recall the name. It had horseradish cream that was kicky without dominating. It complimented onions and thin slices of beef impeccably. He had it with cheese and I had it without- we were both satisfied. The wine selection was exciting. cupcake reisling! The decor is darling- I want to start out every Saturday night here, and always look fabulous.

    What a cool place! The house it's in looks like a museum of colonial history but spruced up and hip. They serve up tea (with scones and sandwiches), but they also have crepes and random other things (amazing French toast). I didn't have the cupcakes, but the cupcake selection is very extensive. If it's a nice day, they also have outdoor seating in the back. Perfect for a lazy weekend brunch!

  • Cassie B.

    I am pretty much a One-Woman marketing team for this place. I don't know if its due to my obsession with the word "snuggery" or the infatuation with their mocha cupcakes. Or the fact that they have some pretty decent wines (and dessert wines!). I have not only told pretty much every person i know about it, but have handed out some of their cute cards to friends. Anyways, first came here on Easter, after having sushi with my mom, sister, and bro-in-law. I pretty much dragged 3 full people just cause of my driving curiousity to see "snuggery" defined in the flesh. Upon entering it is a little confusing, if you're illiterate, and don't read the sign that nicely states to take a menu and seat yourself, etc. We are bumbles, so we stumbled around the three various cozy rooms, before choosing the bright, sunny room with the cupcakes in it. Again, more bumbling, luckily it was Easter and fairly slow, so we got to talk our order over the counter to the Owner. Tried a bunch of mini cupcakes, and an AMAZING cheese platter. They use Farmstead, and Narragansett creamery, and Shy Brothers, which i commend for staying local. With the check, we recieved 3 mini cupcakes! Only reason this isn't a five, is that came in other times when they were super busy, and i don't know that they have a system down yet to accomodate everyone's wants and needs in a timely fashion. I am a very patient person, but it was kinda comical seeing old crotchety women harassing flustered servers for their latte. Despite that, i'd go back again and again, and continue to spread the word of mouth. Next time i'll try some crepes and charcuterie...and maybe the dates...drool...

    One of the best and most mature approaches to a cupcake. Delicate and moist cake, with a light/fluffy and extremely well-whipped frosting that is lightly sweetened altogether. If you're looking for a super-sweet cupcake this isn't the place for you. Their cupcakes aren't about sweetness, it's about a subtle blend of unique flavors and combinations. But...I gotto say, their best cupcakes are the least unique ones - Red Velvet and Peanut Butter Chocolate. I don't know what they were thinking with that Portughese Sweetbreads Pudding Cupcake - yuk

    On a blustery Providence evening, where the streets are lined with too many cars, mile high mountains of snow & a lingering dream of summer, lay a whimsical nook designed to seduce you into sweets and multiple glasses of wine. As a hunter, you could say, of intimate & cozy restaurants, I tend to scour the internet and reviews alike for a place just like this one. Nat and I popped in one night to kill some time before grabbing a friend from the airport. An hour turned into 3 and we were in love. This spot seems to be an old East Side-esque house that has been transformed into the dream you wish you lived in now. The walls in the bar area are painted in bold vertical stripes, and is lit magically with fairy lights, offset by a border of creamy feathers. The vibe alone will cause you to hallucinate visions of a perfect heaven. The music is always good, low key indie rock playlists bounce off the bustling conversations around you. The original fireplace takes center stage in front of the cozy booths, and it is more likely than not, always busy. My first time there, I ordered the Big Fire Pinot Gris, and true to its description it tasted like a sweet, tangy orange and I drank it like water. They had a special that night, something like a warm spinach salad with butternut squash, cranberries (maybe?) and blue cheese crumbles, tossed in a honey dijon dressing. I was sad to see it had left the menu when I came back. Sometimes food is so goddamn good tears come to my eyes, I take a bite of something and it is if I have been reborn, into a world without trouble & sadness. Combine this salad, with their bite size cucumber tea sandwiches, alongside my boo and a drunken conversation with a friendly single woman to our right, I was okay with dying. It was close to closing time, and the bartender packed up 5 or so extra cupcakes from the day (god help us if they had just thrown those things away!) and treated us to them as we cashed out. When I picked up my friend from the airport, she shoved a carrot cupcake into her mouth and we drove off into the night listening to Destiny's Child. The tears of sin and joy returned when I decided to treat myself to a (refrigerated) Portuguese Sweetbread Cupcake for breakfast the next morning. Holy shit, Duck & Bunny...Holy shit.

    The Duck and Bunny is a nice little gem in Fox Point. The food is tasty, the restaurant itself is very cute, and the service is solid as well. Years ago, before I eliminated gluten from my diet, I had a very memorable meal here including smoked salmon and caviar! Oh my! Now, I don't dine here as frequently, as there are not a ton of gluten-free offerings. They do have GF cupcakes, but every time I have wanted to order one, they have been sold out, which is a bummer. One thing that I can eat here are the truffle fries, which are super delicious, and a nice dish to nosh on if you're here for a drink. The ambiance here is definitely a draw for me. It's just adorable! There are lots of little cozy corners inside, and the outdoor seating area is lovely as well. The service, in general is friendly and helpful. The staff has always been very eager to help me find something gluten-free to eat, and knowing that one of the chefs is g-free himself, I know that I am in good hands. I do enjoy what I can eat at The Duck and Bunny, and if they included more gluten-free items on their menu, I would certainly be here more often!

    Duck and Bunny is a really cute location. We came here on a Sunday morning looking forward to Brunch when we arrived there was a notice that they were closed in the morning for a private event and would reopen at 1 pm. Bummer but we went elsewhere for a small bite and then went to the RISD museum until we returned. When we return just before 1 pm the private event was mostly over and we were told that it would be about another 15 minutes. *grumble* We were finally seated and had a pleasant visit but the staff seemed stressed (which I understand that doing a private event is probably a lot of work) I think out attitude was a little soured. The cupcake was okay. Would return on a different day and time to see how things go down then.

    The duck and bunny was so super cute and the brunch was amazing. I got their pancakes with chocolate chips and peanut butter. So sweet but so so so good. My server was adorable and attentive. I went on a weekday morning so there was no wait at all! My cranberry mimosa with the sugar rim was wonderful! The indoor seating is a little small, but it adds to the charm in my opinion. Highly recommended

    Finally was able try some cupcakes from here! They were very moist and not too sweet. They have selected flavors for each day so today my favorite choice would be the red velvet! As for the rest of the place it was adorable! Decorated for comfort and style. Super cute! The iced coffee was also pretty good as well. All in all can't wait to go back and try more flavors and maybe sit down and enjoy the cozy atmosphere!

    I love this place! It has the best brunch I've had in RI. The ingredients are fresh and delicious! Today I had the savory Portuguese bread pudding Benny. It came with the hollandaise sauce on the side just in case you don't want to french your meal. I recommend drenching it as their sauce is awesome and pretty light. Ben got the florentine Benedict on a potato pancake and said it was the best Benedict he's ever had. I'm pretty sure he ordered the same thing last time we were here. Also got 4 cupcakes but have yet to taste them. The decor is also super cute! They call themselves a snuggery: a cozy and comfortable restaurant. Love it! The only downfall is the wait can be pretty long but that's just cuz the food is awesome!

    Amazing brunch and drinks!! The space is small and a little cramped, but that's the only negative about this cute little restaurant in Fox Point, Providence.

    I love this place! Whether for brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks, they have you covered! I had their salmon crepes which were good, and their brocoli cheddar soup which was delicious! Always ask for the specials since they get very creative! (Particularly on weekends!) Definitely add wine to your meal, and get cupcakes on your way out! Try to sit outside, and they will provide blankets if it gets chilly.. I have always been a fan of their brunch but the wait gets long and sitting at the bar isn't great...

    This place is so cute! I came here for brunch on a Sunday in June with a friend. There was a definite wait for the setting outside in the backyard, so we opted for indoor seating as the air conditioning was adequate. I ordered the portuguese sweet bread french toast with bananas. It was delicious, even with what looked like too much syrup. It was very filling. My friend had the rachel and monica (one of her favorites!) crepe. She's hooked. If you want to have a swanky brunch I would come here. Perfect feel and decor for a fancy brunch!

    I've been a big fan of The Duck & Bunny for years! I love their cupcakes so much that I served them at my wedding!!! This is a very cozy spot to grab a small bite and a cocktail or something sweet to cap off the night. They have a great selection of teas and I think the little personal tea pots that they come in are just the cutest thing ever! Because this spot is so small it can fill up quickly, but I've never had a very long wait for a table. A cool and intimate place to take a date, but I wouldn't really suggest it for a large group due to it's small size.

    I love the Duck and Bunny. If you're looking for a one of a kind place, this is it. Nestled in an old home on Wickenden street, the D&B is super 'cosy' inside. The layout is that of a house, with different rooms which I really like. My favorite is the bar area and the surrounding seats, with the cushions and pillows. A perfect place to enjoy a cupcake and drink by the fireplace. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, I have never encountered a problem. Be forewarned, there can be a lengthy wait some nights (usually weekends) and they do run out of cupcakes quickly, depending what time of night you go. I personally love the Pommes Frites and any of their wine cocktails (only Beer and Wine here). The cupcakes are great, I wish they had more gluten free options though. But when I could eat them, my favorites were the banana nutella, red velvet and chocolate cheesecake, all to die for.

    I would like to apologize to the bartender for being such an inconvenience to her the entire time. We had to ask repeatedly for water, the bill and when I politely inquired about the state of our order after waiting for about a half hour, she was very rude. The drinks are all very sweet and based on Prosecco. Crepes are good but nothing groundbreaking. Maybe overpriced? I think you are are paying for the cute ambiance more than the food. I have to say that I have tried to like their cupcakes, but they just seem dry and not that flavorful. Overall, kind of a lackluster experience for such a cute looking place.

    A+ for their gluten free cupcakes!! This is highly recommended during winter time. Place is cozy though small and most of the time is packed! They have healthy menu options.

    One of my favorites. Have never had anything there I did not like. From weiner crepes to cupcakes. The best place for cocktails, crepes and cupcakes.

    Went last night to catch up with a friend. I've been to duck&bunny several times but it was a first for my friend. The atmosphere was really nice and they had their Xmas tree up already. I got the carrot cake cupcake because it's my favorite and it was delicious. The cupcake was moist but I love the cream cheese frosting the most. I paired it with the apple sangria and it was also really nice. It tastes like a crisp hard cider with cinnamon in. My friend got the sampler and got try to the carrot cake, mocha espresso and red velvet. She said the mocha espresso was delicious. It was moist and had a deep espresso flavor. It also came with wine. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet evening with desert and some drinks.

    My mom was one of those ladies that used to throw tea parties in her backyard for all her female relatives complete with finger sandwiches containing watercress. Going to Duck and Bunny brought me back to those sunny afternoons outside with ladies who lunch. This was a female outing for the ladies on my father's side of the family. It was a sunny August afternoon but not stifling. When presented with the option of the cool air conditioned interior or a more spacious set up in the garden, we went for the garden. Delicious and different homemade iced teas of the black and green varietals (no cocktails for the ninaldi ladies, we had some serious shopping to do after;) ) What to start with? Bacon wrapped dates. Sure they look sort of like cockroaches but if you are carnivorous give them a try, the salty and sweet is a nice combination, and dates make you feel classy and well rounded. I had the Mazzy Star crepes with mushroom and truffle oil (yes I know, such a trend) the crepes were delicious and savory, which is good as I do not have a huge sweet tooth. Lightly dressed greens were paired with all of the savory crepes. To accompany our crepes we had the truffle fries (again with the trendy truffle oil) they were perfect, dusted with gansett creamery cheese and rosemary. Because we are all so alike, for our dessert we had maxi (full sized) banana nuetella cupcakes, which were as expected, divine. The frosting is what really drove the cupcakes home, and there was the perfect cake to frosting ratio. On our way out we went in and viewed the cupcake bar to get some "to-go" for the men in our lives, and in addition to buying another dozen maxi cupcakes, we were given a mini cupcake for each of us present to have as a snack later. Very nice touch D&B!

    I had been wanting to go to the Duck & Bunny forever, and I was not disappointed. I had heard mixed reviews from people about the service and food, but the menu seemed so awesome I wanted to go anyways. I was pretty happy with my experience. We sat at the bar, on what was a fairly busy Friday afternoon. I had the Eggs Bun-a-Duck and a side of fries, plus the Caleigh drink. Everything was pretty good. The fries were the best part, but I enjoyed my whole meal. We ended it with coffees and a cupcake.The service was fine; it helps that my friend is on a first-name basis with the entire staff (she's a bonafide regular). Granted, we were also at the bar. But everyone was attentive. I give it a three stars because I'll likely be back again - the menu is so unique and the atmosphere was super cozy.

    My boyfriend was a bit reluctant to go to a tea house called The Duck and Bunny, but he very quickly changed his opinions. It's as unique and charming as the rest of Wickenden. Our cheese plate was amazing! We didn't want it to end. Portions were rather larger than we had expected, but that just meant more to bring home. We were dying to have cupcakes but there was no room left in our stomachs. I did however bring a half dozen assorted cupcakes to my father for Christmas and he raved about them. If you have the chance, I strongly recommend the stop.

    Came during a birthday weekend retreat with my fiancee. Did brunch here. Decent wait, as expected. Only gripe is our waitress almost made us feel like we were being rushed initially. She ended up not rushing as much near the end of our dining experience. It was odd, to say the least. Would def go back, nevertheless.

    Duck and Bunny is a super popular spot on WIckenden St. It's great to set a reservation or not show up already super hungry because it often takes a while to get seats, especially on weekends. Service is usually okay. The servers are busy working with a lot of tables. For a small space they find a way to fit people in. There's a really cute room that's basically for groups that are waiting to be seated and it also has a high-table area for a party of two. The space is still small enough that on packed days people wait in the staircase or go for a walk before receiving a call to say their table is ready. Then there are two rooms for eating on either end of the store (the chairs in these areas are kind of a close together), and a bar area. There's also an outdoor area, which is lovely in the summer time. My favorite go-to's are as follows: the banana foster french toast with pecans (I've gotten it plenty of times and it never fails, plus it's super filling), the honey lavender cupcake (light and sweet), and the caffeine-free teas which are delicious and served in a tea pot with tea cups. Whenever I had friends visiting from out of town I made sure to take them to The Duck and Bunny because it's a super cute shop and offers some great food options at a reasonable price. Plus one can always get a couple of cupcakes to go on their way out.

    Awesome staff, awesome good, awesome drinks, awesome time. Espresso drinks can sometimes be a little warmer, but they always taste great. Nick was my bartender, very friendly and knowledgeable guy. Will definitely be going back. The set up is pretty interesting but something you should just experience for yourself. The decor might not be for everyone, but you're cheating yourself if you don't go at least once. The menu has many interesting concoctions, many of which are complimented by the equally interesting cocktail menu. D&B gets a lot of attention for their cupcakes, but they have sweet and savory covered. Their crepes are delicious, and they have a good selection of wine/beer. No liquor, but they do deliver to The Point Tavern next door. Also I believe they carry cigars, but I will update this review when I go back and find out more.

  • Jenny C.

    The Duck and Bunny is definitely a cute spot and the waitstaff is friendly. I ate there when I was trying to be gluten free, which probably dampened my experience because the most delectable food items appeared to be of a crepe or pancake-type nature. I had potato latkas, and while I thought they were delicious, they were extremely small and I left still feeling hungry--despite having spent a small fortune. I'd like to go back again and forego the gluten-free hindrance, but only if I'm on a date and someone else is picking up the tab.

    Very cool place to hangout friends for a cup of coffee or some drinks. All the rooms are unique and have funky decor. This place is known for its cupcakes, but their food is also pretty good. They also have nice back yard.

    I recently dined at the Duck and Bunny and had such a delightful experience! The employees were so kind and helpful especially James who served our table and was simply a ball of joy to talk to! Not only that, but the food was AMAZING. The restaurant is so homey and vegan friendly! It made the dinning experience so much more enjoyable! Ps... the vegan blueberry cupcake is to die for!!!

  • Silvia R.

    Use to be my family and I favorite place because we use to receive excellent service when we started frequenting this restaurant for brunch. They were kids friendly and very nice. The patio is very nice, quaint and serene with all the foliage. The food was good. But today was such a horrible experience we don't think we will be back. There weren't anyone before us but we had to wait on the host... Then we were sited and forgotten. Although they had a compressed menu for Sunday, when it was time to place our order from this menu they didn't have most items but extra charge was added for the requested substitution. Salt, pepper, had to be requested. My children hot chocolate was ordered before the meals and finally arrived with the salt and pepper... We think we will return to our local trendy places that seem to withstand high demands. We don't mind waiting for good quality food and service. But for what we got today, we will pass. Best wishes on your business.

    A true snuggery, you will get close and cozy with your neighbors at this little gem. If you are a fan of cupcakes or afternoon tea, this is a place I can highly recommend; however the true highlight in my eyes is their brunch. The wait can be long (especially on the weekends), but the food was delish.

    Loved it! The atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly and fast, and the decor was adorable. As for the food, it was delicious! We were very impressed by the cupcake 'draw', and can't wait to go back. Parking was a bit difficult on a Sunday, but worth it!

    I need all of you to know that this is a place we needed in Fox Point. Small, cozy, clever, classy and the music is right on. Where can you have a relaxed and delicious dining experience while listen to Jimi Hendrix and eating noodles made from crepes. Come on, if you haven't explored their menu yet let me assist you. Me and my mom love this place. The T.S. Geller is a great first impression, its made up of prime roast beef with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, tasty greens and horseradish sauce. My moms favorite has got to be the Wyatt-Reuben it has turkey, mozzarella, spinach and a cranberry drizzle on top. Its almost like Thanksgiving in a weird tasty way. We always get a few cupcakes. Strawberries and cream and the raspberry lemonade are definitely top two but the cupcakes change daily so it's a great way to always try something new. I am never disappointed with a crepe that doesn't get soggy and doesn't fill you to the point of feeling like you should loosen the belt. You can sit inside with the beautiful creative furnishing or take it all outside and dine under the stars. The back patio is really nice because you almost forget you are right on Wickenden Street in the city. Nothing like a hidden oasis after a long day. Have a drink and cigar, just veg. I will return again and again for this atmosphere and FOOD. Yes please.

    My friend Allison and I went to experience Duck and Bunny for the first time with our friend Josh, who gave many high recommendations for this restaurant. We went around 3:00pm for a late lunch/early dinner. The hostess that sat us was very friendly and welcoming and dressed appropriately. However once we were seated, their was a long wait for our waiter before he came over to take our order. He didn't not introduce himself or tell us any specials of the day. He was awkward in his approach at the table and made us feel a little uncomfortable. We recommend that the servers work on their approach to the customers by introducing themselves, making them feel comfortable, informing the daily specials-dessert or drinks, and to not rush when taking the order. The ambiance inside the restaurant was similar to walking back in time into an old English Victorian Home. On the patio, it was cool and relaxing; however, needed a good sweeping. While outside, we were unaware of the specials being on the chalk board until after we were placing our order and the server told us that it was not properly updated. Allison and I went inside to look at the cupcakes and realized we couldn't find where the cupcake case was until we asked and found it in the bar area. We recommend that since the restaurant says they are known for the cupcakes, they should change/update their cupcake show case to make it more visible. The person who was at the bar gave a great description on each cupcake explaining what kind it was. Our server was confusing when I asked him to describe a cupcake for us. I definitely didn't like that you could see into the kitchen because there was only a curtain to separate the dining room from the kitchen. Not to mention the fact that it wasn't super clean. A door would make the kitchen more professional looking. If it wasn't for our friend bringing us to try the restaurant, we probably would not have gone there because there is not a lot of publicity or ads about the restaurant. It seems to have a lot of customers that pass it on through word of mouth. They do a good job keeping their Facebook up to date by updating pictures and a few specials. Their Website is very informative but a little confusing how to guide through it. The entrance was the most confusing part of it all. It was not very clear to whether you go upstairs or go straight. The front hallway looked boring and outdated until you continued to walk further into the entrance. My friends and I also noticed that it is not handicap accessible. Making it easier for any kind of handicap accessibility can make it easier for anyone to go and enjoy the restaurant. Overall, we had a good experience. The food was good and we enjoyed the inventiveness of using crepes in a pasta form for the bolognese. The Wyatt-Reuben was creative and different. The cupcake we tried was moist and flavorful.

    Don't know why it is so overrated but their service is real slow. It took exactly 45 minutes to bring out one entree.. The second arrived after 10 minutes. Thought after taking this long, the food was probably fresh and good but left us so disappointed because the ham wasn't fresh and so with the vegetables. Never going to this place again!

    This is a delightful little place with great food and super friendly staff! I recommend the vegan pancakes with added strawberries and pecans - delicious !! And you get 3 huge pancakes! I shared with my daughter and she was full after just one! Great smoothies too!

    Thanks to a fellow Yelper, I found this "Snuggery;" this place is fabulous (...like "more motivation to move from Metro-West to East-Prov" fabulous!). It was Sunday, it was brunch time, it was phenomenal. *Setting: I felt like I was Alice at a tea party in a Crepe Wonderland. The bistro is set in an old Victorian house which has been remodeled to highlight unique nooks and crannies of the former residence. In one room: a bright pink chandelier and white high back chairs, in another, cushy white leather banquet and small granite table tops. AND: Tea in the garden, anyone? yes. There is a small outdoor seating area - this is where I plan to dine the ext time I visit D&B. *Order: the French Toast (with bananas Foster), and the "Thomas Henry" (crepe filled with bacon, scrambled egg & fontina cheese) coupled with tea and chai (though, there were delightful cocktail pairing suggestions listed on the menu). My mouth was watering just looking at the menu - this was a good sign. French Toast was sweet and juicy in a creamy banana sauce, the crepe was the best savory crepe I've ever had (and truly the best way to eat your "breakfast sandwich"); the fontina cheese was a perfect addition to the egg and bacon. The prices: actually not bad when considering *great service (SUPER nice staff), *great atmosphere, *great ingredients and great flavor. *On our way out - we see the board with cupcake selections and make the critical decision to order a porta via: cupcakes. YES!-even after crepes....cupcakes! We ordered four to-go (at 2$ a piece): Banana Nutella, Peaches and Cream (with Lambic in the frosting), Red Velvet, and Mint Chocolate Brownie. My favorite was the Peach, though the banana IN the Banana Nutella frosting was heaven. Most unfortunately, the cakes seemed to be lacking the cake/moisture levels I prefer. To say that I am eagerly anticipating my return to this self-proclaimed snuggery is a drastic understatement. I will return. I will take tea in the garden. There will be crepes.

    I visited the Duck and Bunny again and would bump it up to 3.5 stars. We got there around ten pm and they had plenty of cupcake varieties available. My chocolate peanut butter was tasty but dry, but the banana Nutella was AMAZING. I also enjoyed my tea, which was some sort of berry flavor. We were seated in a cozy little corner booth, which was nice for relaxing and catching up. Service was slow but much more on point than last time. I'd like to return to check out the afternoon tea!

  • Jess B.

    This place is my HEAVEN. An afternoon tea room with a bar that serves coffee, cocktails, and CUPCAKES, a cozy little dining room that serves delicious crepes AND a garden in the back to enjoy your sangria al fresco! What more could you want? The cocktails and cupcakes are amazing. We tried different flavor mini cupcakes and I loved all of them. For drinks, we had the Caleigh and the Chamisa, and the owner gave us the Lavalamnp on the house. They were all unique and delicious. I could not recommend this place more!

  • Katie C.

    One of my favorite places to take people for desserts and drinks. I love that it's in an old colonial house and the decor is funky and eclectic. I especially like the pictures of ducks and bunnies in the formal dining room. I've heard they have good crepes, though I've never had them myself. I usually end up getting one of their gourmet cupcakes and a glass of wine or tea. The nutella cupcake is a MUST if you can get it. The last few times I've been they were out of cupcakes or only had red velvet cupcakes left. So the moral of my story is go there early and go there often, this place won't disappoint!

    A smaller place located in Fox Point in Providence, RI offers a great selection for Brunch. Great decor, white couches and a flair a class, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. For brunch, we ordered The Thomas Henry, which was egg, your choice of bacon or ham and fontina cheese wrapped in a delicious crepe. Also, an order of the latkes was had as well, topped with fresh applesauce. Needless to say, this place was fantastic. If you find yourself in the Providence area, check it out. If you do eat there, save room for the cupcakes. With choices like Red Velvet, Banana Nutella and Lemon/Lime (just to name a few), you gotta give them a go. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent food.

  • Mitch K.

    This is a really cute place. Went there on a Saturday afternoon with the wife and enjoyed a leisurely late lunch outside on the back patio. I had a fancy cocktail and a Mexican crepe that was really good, my wife enjoyed her Eggs Benedict, and for dessert we shared a cupcake. Two things stopped it from being a five-star review: 1. The cupcakes are...just all right. I'm spoiled by Crumbs cupcakes (they have a bunch of stores in NYC) so these just taste like regular ole' cupcakes to me. They're not terrible, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. 2. They allow dogs to chill on the patio which is cute, but when you're trying to eat and one of them is relieving himself in front of you it's not very cute. I would love to come back at night one of these days and hang on the patio as the food/drinks were good, service was great, and I like to chill...:)

    A number of times I was asked to pick up cupcakes here for birthdays but never have I had the chance to sit and enjoy the amazing smelling food, that is until this past weekend. We stopped in for brunch as the entry way was crowded with people leaving giving us hope there might be a table for us. After a bit of a wait, which was very reasonable considering it was a Saturday prime brunching hour, we were seated. I do wish there was a bit more space in the waiting area because you always feel like you are in the way no matter where you stand. By the time we were seated our rumbling stomachs had already perused the menu and decided on a feast of delicious options. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who had a sense of humor that really added to the experience. While we laughed and enjoyed our coffee and tea we were able to relax and chat to catch up. Before we knew it the food was coming out to us and we were digging in! My friend ordered a Monte Christo which was by her standards phenomenal. I ordered pancakes with bananas and chocolate chips which were quite delicious. I did however note some of the inside being a bit too runny while the outside was a bit charred. Not enough of a notice to ruin the meal but definitely distracted me for a moment. We very much enjoyed our meal while becoming filled to the brim ready to take on a shopping adventure. Since it was my friend's birthday, I "forced" some cupcakes to go and were were on our way. Overall a good experience but I wish there was a tiny bit more room as the waitstaff kept bumping things and knocking things over (not that I blame them because my clumsy self would have taken entire tables out in the limited space). I would definitely return for brunch or a quiet afternoon tea.

    Dudes, bring you girl here. You can't go wrong, they will love the decor and the drinks and atmosphere and their crapes are incredibly good, so you can take something out of it, too. Again, your girl will love it, bring her here.

    The atmosphere in Duck & Bunny is probably my favorite part of my experience. Aaaaaand the cupcakes. The décor inside and outside of Duck & Bunny is something you want to bottle up and bring home with you. Everything is chic and charming! The food and drinks are good too, I don't specifically remember what I had for brunch...I got a Rosewater-infused brunch cocktail that wasn't really for me, but they gladly exchanged it for me. Duck & Bunny is a treat! When the weather is nice you can sit out on the back patio and soak up the sun.

    This place is so unacceptably inconsistent. There are bartenders/baristas/servers that are incredible, and other who make you feel like the scum of the earth. There are treats that will dazzle, and other that make you scratch your head wondering "how could they cost that so high?". This place needs to be knocked off its pedestal; after living across the street for a year I'm tired of disappointing my friends, being treated like shit by unenthused servers and ordering menu items that fall short of adequate. After getting a moldy cupcake, I'm glad to be moving closer to better places in PVD.

  • Sarah C.

    This place is just adorable. I recently went to celebrate a friend's birthday. We all got brunch; a various assortment of crepes, potatoes, latkes, and sparkling beverages. The crepes were very good, although I felt the $10+ price was a bit steep (pretty much the only reason they don't get 5 stars in my book). We sat outside mostly because it was super busy, but I would definitely go back sometime when the weather is cooler and try and sit inside since it looks so cozy. We finished our meal with their cupcakes, and I have to say the Honey Lavender cupcake I got was sooooo goood! Like I said, they tend to be a bit pricey, so I feel they are more of a special occasion place (birthdays, catching up with an old friend, etc.). I will definitely be back though.

    One of my doctors recommended this restaurant a few months ago, and it's my mom's favorite spot in Providence now. The menu is mostly crepes and cupcakes, with a few exceptions. Crepe highlights: The Distinguished Lincoln (the mustard sauce is so yummy), the Miss Harriet (brie and pears...always good), and the Duck and Bunny Roll (basically crepe sushi....delicious!). Cupcake highlights: Honey lavender, banana nutella, and carrot cake. Definitely try the chamomile vanilla bean tea. It tastes like a cupcake! I had to buy a tin to take home. The decor is adorable, and my boyfriend loved the Big Lebowski reference in the bathroom. Everyone working there is very genuine and friendly. No complaints here!

    Had a lovely light lunch here with a friend a few weeks ago. I had an apple and brie sandwich, he had eggs Benedict- both were prepared with finesse and served by an attentive staff. We loved the atmosphere of the Duck and Bunny. it was comfortably hip, great coffee choices, great location in a very up and coming part of town, with potential for a lot more growth. The Duck and Bunny really stands out among its competition for offering a unique menu with a unique atmosphere. We need more places like this in our community!

  • Kirun S.

    I love the Duck and Bunny. It's incredibly bourgeois and twee and would be completely insufferable if a) the food weren't so brilliant, and b) the staff weren't so great. The cupcakes range, given the day, from "good" to "excellent." The scones, though....the scones. They come with almond butter and jam. They're transcendent. I love them. If the staff were all terrible people, I'd *still* probably go there a bit, just for the scones. However, ALL the food I've tasted there is excellent. Go. Give them your money.

    For all the hype I have heard about the D&B, I'm a little bummed out. Don't get me wrong -- I would definitely go back since the vibe is cozy and you just feel safe and like the world is a prettier place when you are in there. However, my actual tea, food, and cupcake experience was pretty mediocre. Stopped in on a Sunday around 1/1:30pm for brunch with a friend and we were lucky to snag two seats at the bar. The front room is tight with seating for maybe 8 at the bar, 2-3 small tables for 2 and a larger nook for groups (there was a family of 5 on this particular day). There is also a second little room which we quickly peeked in to, but of course it was already full. Feels like a cramped but airy (lots of light colors in the main room) Victorian parlor. There is a fireplace which they actually use in the winter too which is a neat touch. The service was okay. Every now and again things would get pretty busy (it was a full house and there were people just popping in to get cupcakes to go), and the staff were trying their hardest to keep up with the demand. That said, it took a while for us to be able to place our orders and also get our check. Our tea came out quickly. I had the Pomegranate Pear which was a beautiful rich pink color but sort of lacked any pear flavoring. My friend had the Coconut Truffle tea which was amazing! It tasted like a delicious dessert in a cup. I would absolutely order this tea myself the next time. I had the Mazzy Star (crepe) which was full of portobello mushrooms and fontina cheese and accented with rosemary and truffle oil. It came with a very small little side salad which was fine. The crepe itself, however, almost felt a little too greasy. My friend ordered some brunch special which was good, but sort of skimpy on the hollandaise sauce which was the main reason he had ordered it. To finish the meal, clearly there was going to be a cupcake. The flavors of the day are listed on a blackboard and the cupcakes themselves are situated in a great little display case that serves double duty as part of the bar top. D&B offers both mini and regular size cupcakes. We opted for the Honey Lavendar cupcake. The cake itself tasted a teensy bit like honey and it seemed like some had been drizzled on top prior to being iced, but we didn't get too much of either flavor. The soft purple frosting was light but didn't taste much different than any other sweet frosting. Sprinkle placement was almost comical. There were maybe six sprinkles all gathered on one side. Was that intentional? Like I said, I will go back at some point in the hopes of finding the awesome experience I have heard so much about from friends!

    If I would ever have to recommend one place to go when visiting Providence RI it would have to be Duck & Bunny. From the first time me and my boyfriend went there for our first date to now brining friends and associates alike to convert them to the wonders of Duck & Bunny I'm never disappointed or left feeling like something is missing. The decorum and atmosphere is just as the word "snuggery" entitles it's warm and cozy. The waitstaff is more then charming and helpful when it comes to navigating the menu to deserts to pick from. If there is only one last thing I would say is you gotta go if you've never been.

    Overpriced-3 stars bc it's good, but not great. Good crepes (but u can get better) and awesomely decorated place (quaint, full of details, love that it has a comfy livingroom feel. I love all the ducks & bunnies you can spot everywhere! And they have good tea. Actually the best part is their tea selection. BUT- the English style tea tray w/sandwiches & pastry is too simple & overpriced. Just a few bites if sandwiches w/the crusts cut off to make u feel like ur in kindergarten again (not a good thing), a few mini cupcakes that were nicely decorated but just tasted like plain ol'vanilla/chocolate/red velvet cupcakes. Nothing to write about really. I could pick up similar cupcakes at the grocery store... For a fraction of the price. And if you've ever had true English tea in true British fashion, this tea time tray is lame. I don't plan to be back. I would maybe... If I was feeling like some tea... Maybe. But I'd go find a nice pastry somewhere else to eat w/my tea.

    Two experiences now at the duck and bunny... Both great! We got to sit in two different rooms too and both had great atmosphere. Very eclectic and cool with chandeliers, pictures of ducks and bunnies that have taken over famous paintings (Van Gogh with a duck bill). Really cozy and comfortable. Anyways, I love chai and they make theirs homemade there. I would call myself a chai snob (admitting it is the first step) and only like certain brands, but they do chai right! They have a whole section of eggs Benedict and different crepes which were both very good. Oh! And I forgot to mention... Truffle Home Fries! Drool. Now on to the cupcakes... I saved the best for last because I'm not sure if I have ever had better. I work at a wedding facility and get really giddy when the duck and bunny delivers cupcakes for a wedding. The BEST one is the MOTHER EFFING CANNOLI CUPCAKES. Dark chocolate salted caramel is pretty gosh darn amazing too. I have only been for brunch and cupcakes so I will have to go back and try lunch/dinner soon.

    I have nothing but a thumbs-up for the Duck and Bunny. It is a restaurant/café that has a cozy, cute atmosphere. My fiancé and I often meet up here with friends for a drink (usually a beer for him and a tea for me) and a cupcake, of course! We love the cupcake selection - - our favorites are the Banana Nutella, Honey Lavender, and Red Velvet. They also have an outdoor patio in the back that is perfect for a warm summer night.

    I must admit that I'd been holding off on a review because I felt this place was almost too precious to be real. Cupcakes? Overstuffed, feathery, fuzzy white decor? Calling themselves a 'snuggery'? BUT. I was there last night, and the experience I had was so good that I had to review. Their cupcakes have always been good, but every time I went in, I noticed (and promised I would have to try) their real food. When we were in the mood for a smallish dinner at about 9:30, we figured it was time. I had an UNBELIEVABLE crepe-noodle dish with mushrooms, roast beef, and a creamy cheese sauce. It was a smallish portion for $14, a bit disappointing, but the flavour was PHENOMENAL. The crepe noodles (sliced crepe pieces, not just made with crepe dough) were delicate and not too sweet, perfect to temper the richness of the sauce and the mushrooms. The roast beef was thin-sliced and tasty, and the whole thing vanished so fast I didn't even have time to take a picture. They were slammed, but the service was very fast, and they got everything right. At no point did we feel neglected at all, which was a miracle considering how many people there were. Also very impressive was that they were still actively baking cupcakes at ten on a Saturday night. I ended up having to have a red velvet one because the baker walked a freshly-baked tray past me, and the smell hijacked my brain. Yeah. That's the truth. And oh! it was SO GOOD. The cupcake was moist and perfect, and the frosting was so smoooooth. This was obviously not a cupcake that had just been rewarmed, but truly fresh. That right there is a mark of true amazingness - ten thirty on a Saturday night, and I just got a FRESH cupcake. Bliss.

    I'll give this three stars, just because the ambience is nice and the servers were sweet. I came here with really really high hopes. my friend and I were extremely excited because we've heard such good things about this place. My friend had a vegan chocolate cupcake and I had a Portuguese bread pudding cupcake (?)...the vegan chocolate cupcake wasn't that good. It was actually kind of dry, which I found odd because every vegan chocolate cupcake I've had is pretty moist. The Portuguese bread pudding cupcake...was brought to me hot (she said it came that way) which was fine, but there really was no flavor. The vanilla ice cream was good, I mean, how can you mess up vanilla ice cream right? I don't know, I really didn't like both of our desserts. Maybe it was specifically and coincidentally both of our desserts that weren't good, but I wouldn't return here. I'm sticking to Pastiche!

    Great atmosphere and probably an amazing location in the Winter with the fireplace but a tad warm in the Summer as the AC was struggling to just simply make it comfortable. The cupcakes were perfectly made and the scones amazing. The tea selection was great as well but the service (as courteous as it was) just didn't live up to even the most basis level - several items forgotten, needed to remind the staff, etc. This is a great place to go for a transporting experience out of the usual.

    They rave about the cupcakes! Picked 4 up last night around 10. Thought i would have them in bed. They were dry and tasted days old. Very disappointed.

    This is going on first impressions- I'm certainly going back to see if the greatness continues, or if it's just first timers luck. So, it's cold out, I get some hot chocolate. I like mine on the rich/dark side and they nailed it! The friends I was with were talking to me, but, I have no clue what they were saying. It was just me and the hot chocolate. I ordered the Wyatt-Reuben, which was OK. I feel it was tasty but lacked.....something. It was hard to choose with my friends recommending everything on the menu. I also snagged a few of my friend's french fries, (truffled pomme frites). So tasty, so delicious! Oh god, then it came to the sweets! A friend and I ordered some coconut tea along with a Samoa cupcake for the each of us. Someone else at the table ordered the Banana Nutella cupcake. Which I did not try, (not being a fan of nutella), but both who DID eat it, gave 6 out of 5 stars. Oh, and the atmosphere. They sat all of us next to a 'fireplace'. I put that in quotes, since it was really a fireplace filled with candles. Not really anything for warmth, but insanely adorable. Even though there was quite a few people in there, it was quiet and the staff was attentive. Tablecloths, candles on the table- it was cute, I liked it. It was so yummy, I absolutely had to bring a cake home. They have little Portuguese sweet breads....so goooood. ::drool::

    The Duck and Bunny is a snuggery indeed! Nestled amongst loads of businesses on Wickenden Street, the outside of the restaurant is very unassuming. Step inside, however, and find yourself amazed. The decor is amazing, and depending on which room you find yourself nibbling in, you will either be in a beautiful dark blue room, or a light and airy white-on-white-on-white-on-white room, with textures really setting the stage for the decor rather than color alone. The brunch options included everything from your traditional menu items such as eggs benedict, to the more adventurous hot weiner omelet. I found myself somewhere in the middle, getting potato latkes "benny style": eggs, hollandaise, bacon and avocado. Amazing. Portions were just right to slightly large in size. I certainly didn't have room for one of the amazing cupcakes available. Luckily, my strawberries and cream cuppycake (as I like to call them) was easily made to-go. Hurrah! Parking in the area was a little tough, but not undoable. Be patient and willing to walk a block or so and you're golden. PS - No ducks or bunnies were harmed in the making of any of the meal items.

    I used to love D&B, their cupcakes were reliably delicious and the food always good. I'm a bigger fan of the food than I used to be, but the last 3 times I went, the cupcakes have gone downhill. My favorite is the chocolate and caramel sea salt, and the last few times it has been dry with more frosting and less caramel filling, and almost no salt to be found. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt but it's disappointing. I'll be waiting to hear until this improves. On the otherhand, I had a savory crepe, the turkey, cheese and cranberry, and it was as good as I have come to expect eating in Providence.

    I've never had anything here I didn't like. But what wins it for me is the atmosphere. All of the people are friendly and it's just such a cute place to while away some time. It just puts me in a good mood. I mean, it is a 'snuggery' after all. If you're a fan of art deco, you might just love it here.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. They do every aspect perfectly. The food is excellent - I'm actually salivating at the thought of their mandarin almond salad (the citrus vinaigrette is UH-mazing). Then there's the drinks.. er, well, that shouldn't be plural because I only tried one beverage and then I could never bring myself to try anything else because their Caleigh is SO good. They steep their own lavender for this drink, combined with prosecco, vanilla, and garnished with blueberries. My only complaint is that it isn't big enough. (No drink served in a flute ever is). The cupcakes are obviously awesome. When I left providence my friend got me a box of 6 because he knew they were my favorite in the city. Last but certainly not least is the amazing, cozy, cute atmosphere. It's unlike any other. All I can say is that you're doing yourself a disservice if you visit Providence and don't go here.

    YUP. 5 well deserved stars right in the kisser. This place is awesome. Its small so don't bring a crowd; Instead bring a close friend to try something new in an eclectic and intimate setting. I really do love this place. When I first saw the sign outside, all I could think about was how I had no idea what a "snuggery" was. Well the Duck and Bunny is just that. When you walk in, you basically walk into someones little home but its actually a funky little tea house. In one room, there's a small bar with a few stools and the bar itself if a cupcake display (cupcake display!!). I'll get to the cupcakes in a second because they deserve at least a sentence or two. The interior is very funky and cool. Its all white on white but with old fashion flair with white antique chandeliers, crystals, small little sculptures and a fire place. Honestly, I don't know what the rest of the place looks like because I happily settle right into this room (ADD most likely). I know there is more seating in another little room and an outdoor patio/ garden area. From what the inside looks like, I can assure you the rest of the place is just as fun to be in. Their food is delicious and they give good size portions. Huge crepes for such a small place. And their coffee mugs are big too, they require two hands. I'm a sucker for big mugs, they make everything more homey. This place has beer, wine, coffee and of course an assortment of teas. They even offer a wine and cupcake flight which will be my next adventure. I've been here a few times and always get one of their fantastic crepe-sandwich things. A friend of mine ordered the NY franks crepe and visibly died and went to heaven before my eyes.. and he was skeptical to even go in the first place now he begs me to go back. THAT good. The staff is just as good; they're all cool people. You can just tell. They're down to earth, chatty and all around just nice people. Now for the cupcakes. How good are they you ask? Well imagine this: I fight a serious urge to just stop in to get one to-go..every time I drive by... I live on the same street so some quick basic math says I drive by A LOT. That's a lot of urges. They're so delicious and come in all kinds of flavors and crazy concoctions with cookies, reeses, and fillings. Its amazing. These are the real deal cupcakes. Non of that fake crap you add water and maybe one egg to. No. These are cupcakes made with precision, love and all the right ingredients. You know what, I'm just gonna end it here and say go get a cupcake you little Yelper you, you deserve it.

    Duck and Bunny has to be one of the best treasures in Little Rhody. I had an Almond Joy cupcake that was to die for on my first visit and I was hooked. The Coconut Truffle tea is amazing and I haven't have a crepe I didn't like from here. I brought my girlfriend (who was from out of state) here on our first date and I think it definitely made her fall in love with our little state.

    3.5 stars Duck and Bunny has the perfect cutesy, princess-y environment that's perfect to catch up with your girlfriends. For brunch on a weekend, like other yelpers have mentioned, you often have to be prepared to wait (unless you get there pretty early). I'm not really too impressed with their brunch items and its quite overpriced, in my opinion, for what you get. If your friends do drag you there.. get the banana fosters french toast, but ask for the sauce on the side so you can control the level of sweetness. For dinner, I would totally recommend! The prices are a lot more acceptable and they have a lot of items on the menu that are very inventive-- crepecini (noodles made of crepes) and crepezza (crepe pizza?). For the cupcakes, the molten lava cupcakes that they serve during the colder weather are to dieee for. They're heated up in a cup with melted chocolate on the inside, so good! I also enjoy the lavendar, banana nutella and espresso cupcakes!

    My friend challenged me to give D&B another try, and I was open to is based on her rave reviews and unwavering adoration of their thin mint cupcakes. So, we popped in after dinner, sat in front of the fireplace, ordered some wine and a few cupcakes, and the re-appraisal began. I have to say, it was lovely. We sat there for hours, chatting about everything and enjoying the half dozen mini cupcakes we'd selected from the cupboard. I had a lovely glass of sparkling shiraz with my trifecta: pumpkin spice with mascarpone frosting, thin mint (of course), and carrot cake. All were delectable, and none made me ill (as they had previously). The interior is still as charming as ever, and the service was great. It was quite bustling on a Thursday night, especially after 8pm. We were cozy in our easy chairs by the fireplace, and didn't feel any sort of pressure to rush out after we'd finished our nibbles. In fact, I ordered a cup of peppermint tea that came in its own pot, which was quite pleasant. I'm glad I have D&B another shot... it was well worth it!

    They have a pretty unique brunch menu with all sorts of interesting stuff. The most recent time I went, I got the New York System Wiener Omelette. Not only did it taste great, but it was surprisingly light and fluffy. I wasn't expecting that given the name of it. The presentation is also very nice, the Simply Sandwiches dish in particular is nice looking. I'm also a fan of the "signature drinks" section of their menu.

  • Bianca G.

    My happy place. Serves up fresh & local innovative food daily. Their truffled pomme frites are a staple amongst my friends, and I'm not much of a cupcake eater but I love their mocha and banana nutella variety. Perfect for a date or brunch, not for a larger crowd due to the small space. Open fairly late which is always a plus.

  • Andria T.

    I love the D&B. it's adorable, cozy, the food is amazing and I'm still giddy at the fact that I can order cupcakes and beer at the same place! I still haven't tried the soup, so I can't speak to that, but everything else I've had at this place has been wonderful. Crepes--kick ass Cupcakes-- OMG I dream about the Portuguese sweetbread Latkes--The Latkes Benny is superb Lava Lambp signature cocktail--delicious and beautiful to look at Coffee--perfect every time Wine--Decent list and good prices Cappuccino--perfect every time Tea sandwiches--tasty and so cute! Ordering them makes me feel so dainty The Duck & Bunny wants to make me fat, but I just want to love them.

  • Caitlin R.

    As quaint as it gets. The D&B is known for its crepes and cupcakes for good reason, but its other offerings are also great. An don't overlook the cocktail list! Given that it's a 'snuggery,' it's pretty close quarters, so those looking for spacious spots might wanna take a pass.

  • Kameron S.

    Yum, yum, yum. The place is really cute and super hipster. It was packed when we went and we got a tiny table in the bar area. My salted caramel cupcake was to die for but I was underimpressed with my husband's crepes. i think the waiter forgot about them and they were chewy. I have heard great things about their crepes so I will assume this was more the waiter's fault than the dish itself. I would go back just for those cupcakes, but the place was a bit pricey.

    Love, love, love this place! I was never a fan of crepes until my friends had me try The Duck and Bunny. I realized it is sweet crepes I don't like, but boy do I love the savory ones. The Wyatt-Reuben is so delicious! The last time I was there I tried a cup of ther vegetartian French Oninon soup and I wish I had gotten the bowl. My husband is a fan of the Monte Cristo which is also amazing! And who doesn't love truffle fries. This place is one of a kind.

  • Sean M.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Providence. It is quaint, in what appears to be an old home. Intricate decorations give it a cozy feel. Look for the recreations of famous paintings with bunnies and ducks in them. While it does have a full menu, I often only go for wine, tea, and a cupcake. I enjoy the selection of loose leaf teas, and prefer to drink it while outside in the garden out back. Of course, the cupcakes are great as well. Finally, the waitstaff are top notch. Friendly, willing to chat, and efficient. I highly recommend the D&B!

  • Grace R.

    I love Duck and Bunny, everything about it! Decor, food, service, location - I will recommend everyone to come here when they're on the east side and are visiting Providence. Decor - Can it be any cuter? The restaurant looks like an old building from the outside but when you walk in, it feels like you are stepping into a castle lobby with beautiful lights hanging down from the ceiling. The host table is tiny so make sure you don't swing your coat or bag around in big motion. The tables and chairs arrangement are "cozy", ok maybe feel like a tiiiny bit jammed, but it doesn't bother me at all. If you have large parties, make sure you come early and put your name down. They CAN accomodate large groups (5+) but there will be a wait. Food - Corn beef hash: delicious! I ordered it as a side dish and it came in a generous portion bowl. I like how the potatoes were not completely mashed up but still had a good bite. I had their mini-sandwiches platter which was the most adorable dish I ever had (my husband said it was too dainty and little portion) but for $8, you get to sample 5 different sandwiches. It was worth it for me because every bite was heavenly! Hubby ordered the french toast which was a dessert explosion. The fluffy french toast was coated with banana syrup goodness and he inhaled it in no time. The french toast was so soft, no knife necessary. A fork is all you need for this indulgence. Dessert - as if the french toast wasn't enough, we ordered their cupcakes for dessert. They have very creative flavors and the cake is moist, not TOO sweet and is very adorably decorated. 5 star! Service - There was a 20 minute wait so we sat on the comfortable couch. While we waited, we watched the staff running back and forth serving the customers with a smile. However, one of the staff actually took the time to explain their private parties arrangement with me when I asked them a few questions. I was surprised they didn't brush me off and even showed me where the outdoor patio is. I can't wait to host a party there during the summer! Parking - Street parking only but I never had trouble finding a spot.

    How awesome is this place? I had a fantastic glass (or two) of wine and brought some cupcakes home. If you are in love it is a great place to go with your sweety, and if you have a little girl, this is a perfect place to have a tea party. I would not hesitate to go back here. Next time I am going to try their food.

  • Cara G.

    I really do love the duck and bunny. I dont know if maybe my couple of times there were just very busy moments, but as much as a want to like it... they shove wayyyy too many people in one area to categorize it as a snuggery. I would give duck and bunny 5 stars for the awesome interior, relaxing couches, cozy fireplaces, and cute bar. I would give the prosecco cocktail I had 5 stars as well. But the amount of people I feel like I'm sitting on top of whenever I'm there knocks the stars down a bit. I would definitely recommend the duck and bunny to anyone looking for a different dinning experience, but I might wait again till the warmer months when they open the outside. I will try duck and bunny again, but if there are people crowding the rooms, i might just turn and leave for another day.

    Alice in Wonderland tea shop meets Alice in Wonderland Tea shop(but in real life). Skip the crepes and kill yourself on cupcakes(banana-nutella, red velvet, and salted caramel are great). The drinking chocolate is also really good.

    Really good crepe place. Small location but has a lot of character. Ordered the mazzy star crepe (mushroom) and a Black Forest ham/Swiss cheese French toast between my sister and me. Both dishes came with small salads, which complemented them well. Not sure what kind of maple syrup they had but it had the perfect balance of sweetness and viscosity. They need to sell the syrup to the public. I'll be the first person in line to buy it. If this place was transplanted to the San Francisco Bay Area, it would have red-hot popularity. Surprised to find such a nice place in providence and it's a real treat for those in the community. Overall, this place gets my highest recommendation. Protip: After visiting duck & bunny, be sure to grab a cup of fresh roast coffee from Coffee Exchange.

    My favorite Sunday night place :) a couple of cupcakes and a fancy lady drink makes for a perfect end to a weekend. I love the red velvet, and honey lavender is perfect. I am on a mission to try all the drinks, but the sleepy hollow is my favorite so it's hard to stray from that.

  • Kendra N.

    Had a food fights coupon for free iced coffee so I stopped in. The place is an older setting but very cute. Was a little confused going in because I was getting the coffee to go and the sign says to wait to be seated but if you go into the room on the left that is where you can get food to go. The coffee was good, nothing amazing just basic iced coffee but I did pick up 6 cupcakes as well. I thought they were a little pricey at $2.75 each as they are not as big as a cupcake you would get in a bakery. The reviews of the cupcakes: Carrot cake (both people said it was AMAZING!) Red Velvet-Delicious! Chocolate Peanut Butter (both people said it was ok and lacked peanut butter), Banana Nutella-the biggest cupcake there size wise, was basically banana bread with an amazing frosting--well worth it!! These reviews are from my co-workers that I brought it back for but overall I would say they were impressed just don't chose the Peanut Butter cupcake. They have their daily cupcakes on their menu online but they also have some special cupcakes each day.

    Hopping down that rabbit hole to find a Portuguese style French toasted Monte Cristo and fluffy crepes. Duck & Bunny embodies the definition of adorable. I love how the place feels like you're entering a house rather than a cafe or restaurant. The service is pretty slow here, the food took a long time to come and even longer for the check. Perhaps have more servers? But I must say good food takes time and their food was delicious! The monte cristo was somewhat sinful. It was a French toast sandwich filled with Swiss cheese and ham and turkey, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with powder sugar. Both flavors of sweet and savory collided and created a bomb in my mouth, my tongue had succumb to the cheesy goodness. You could tell it was good cheese and it was melted perfectly when it gets stringy from being torn apart. The Thomas Henry wasn't as powerful compared to the Monte Cristo. It was a bit submissive and passive but all in a good way. I guess it makes my meal more balanced between a ying and yang. The bacon, scrambled egg and cheese continues to embody the fluffiness of the crepe. The texture is more of a winner rather than the taste. I highly recommend the monte cristo if you feel like splurging your calorie intake, it's worth your while. The wait long and service isn't the best but I suppose the food makes me willing to overlook it. Highly recommend for brunch or high tea.

    This restaurant looks like it came out of Mary Poppins! Everything about it is adorably British. Whether it's the decadent chandeliers, the intricately designed seating, or the super swirly cupcakes, this place is quite the tea parlor. If you're given the option, make sure you sit outside! There is an easy to miss dining area in the back patio that has an incredible ambiance (especially at night). And don't even start with the food! I had the banana foster sundae upon recommendation of the waitress and it was incredible! Three scoops of vanilla ice cream with drizzled caramel, candied walnuts, bananas and fruit compote, all on top of a warm crepe! CAUTION: only for those with serious sweet tooth (like me). A great place for a second date. Service was fast and our waitress was super friendly. Will definitely be returning.

    I am by no means a normal wickenden street peruser, so I didn't know what to expect when coming in this morning for brunch at the duck and bunny. What I can say is that I was very impressed and happily surprised by this hidden gem. As the first stop on the RI food fights coffee throw down (and the reason for creating a yelp account), my girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience. First things first, if you are coming here for Brunch, get here early as the seating is limited and it could be a long wait if you don't get in at the right time. Second, when you enter the front door, just walk straight ahead into the snuggery, there is a staircase going up to an unknown region, don't go there (rookie mistake). Now to comment on the fun part. The atmosphere is wonderful, for those loving old style and artistic deco this is a great venue. Seating as I said is a bit cramped, but with the limited space duck and bunny does a lot. The wait staff were great as well. Normally I am accustomed to semi-meh service with semi-meh servers, but our waitress, whom I wish I remembered her name was great. She was super friendly, and awesome at providing good suggestions. Another thing to note, all the main waitresses have old fashioned garb which is really entertaining as well. As their website stated, its like taking a step into a carefree past. Now onto the meal! We really only came for the ice coffee, but ended up staying for several other items because the menu looked really interesting. The ice coffee's themselves were decent with a full barista bar making everything there for you. Specialty teas, coffees, cocktails, all made by some more friendly people and a fellow with a purple beard! The lady love ordered the sweet baby James crepes, which is one of the many crepes the duck and bunny offers. The strawberries tasted fresh and sweet without the soggy sugary syrup that normally accompanies breakfast, which was a nice change of pace. The cream inside was sweet and soft, and was definitely a great addition to the crepe dish. I myself ordered the truffle home fries, which I recommend buying whole heartedly as a dish to pick at and share. The best way for me to describe them would be more like roasted potatoes then normal breakfast home fries. They were tossed slightly in oil, with a sour cream drizzle and scallions on top. Even my girlfriend whom doesn't like scallions thought they were great. As a finale to the meal we took two cupcakes to go, which came in little take our Chinese boxes, which my girlfriend found to be really cute. She had the red velvet and I had the nutella Banana. Both were great, light enough to not feel terrible about eating but sweet enough to satisfy that sweet tooth craving. Overall, the experience was great and we will definitely be coming back again, specifically to have some cocktails and to try some other meals that looked good as the waitresses were walking by. It's worth checking out if for nothing more for the decor and wonderful people. Came for the coffee, stayed for the cupcakes.

    Sooooo good! I've tried a couple of the cupcakes, the Mazzy Star (GREAT), Truffled Pomme Frites (good), and the Tuscan Crepzza (good). Definitely, DEFINITELY get the Mazzy Star! I didn't think a crepe could be jazzed up to this level until I tried this beaut. They have a selection of cupcakes where every second one sounds phenomenal. One night, they only had one last cupcake left (it was a blueberry lemon sweet bread) and the waitress gave it to me for no charge. The red velvet cupcake is amazing! Service is good. I don't know what a snuggery is, but this place definitely feels cozy and is a good place to unwind after a long day. Can't wait to be back!

    The Duck and Bunny is the perfect place to go for an after date dessert and drink or just to grab some delicious coffee. It is not a place to go if you are very hungry. They don't have a very filling menu, it's more of a place to grab a snack or light lunch. I loved the classic style of Duck and Bunny with its narrow entry way, aged hardwood floors, large chandeliers hanging from the low ceiling, and even there waiting area with two large leather chairs and with a white leather love seat as well. Duck and Bunny looks as if they took an old house in the Providence area and turned it into a tea room. This was my second time coming here because it has the best latte I've ever had in my life. I got the caramel latte and my girlfriend ordered the mocha latte. As it was before, it was perfect. There was even a heart drawn into my foam. After finishing the lattes I wanted to try something new on the drink menu so we decided to get a Guinness float which has their homemade vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and we added two espresso shots to it as well. It was very tasty and all the flavors worked perfectly together. At the end of the date, our waitress presented us with four free cupcakes because they had extra ones and they were going to be closed for a week for renovations. We were ecstatic because the cupcakes at Duck and Bunny are outstanding and so flavorful. Duck and Bunny has two areas for sitting. One room includes a couple tables and I dislike this room because everyone's conversation around you sounds so much louder and it's hard to hear. The other room is much more cozy and quaint. It includes a wrap around booth like seating and seating near the bar. Also there is a fire place and it just gives you the feeling of being at home and it makes for a very comforting and relaxing experience.

    What a cute little place. I've avoided it after looking at their menu and prices online, but I came in for a quick coffee and fell in love with the joint. The barista was super nice. They didn't have decaf, so she offered me an Americano with decaf espresso. Just perfect. Folks were super nice and the vibe is very chill. I'll actually come back for brunch at some point, just from this experience! Service is everything :-)

    Have been wanting to come here for a while and when the opportunity came up, I joined some friends for brunch yesterday. Known as a snuggery - and boy it sure was snug! There were 7 of us and it felt very tight as the place was packed. We sat inside vs outside. Cute little place, made me feel like I was having tea and crumpets, lol. Coffee was good and constantly refilled. I had a cranberry mimosa which was very good! For brunch I had the Creperito (brown rice, black beans, onions, cheddar and spinach - I added an egg into it for an additional $1) based on my friend's suggestion. I was between that or the Mazzy Star (portobello mushroom, fontina cheese, rosemary and truffle oil) which my other gf ended up getting and damn it, I should've too! It was sooooo good. My Creperito was just ok - if there weren't any sour cream and salsa, it would've been extremely bland for my taste. I was expecting the brown rice to have some flavor to it. We got a selection of cupcakes for desserts - I only took a small bite of the carrot cake one and it was good. Everyone else raved about the chocolate raspberry. I'll have to buy some for take home next time. Our waiter, Josh was very nice and attentive. He even offered to come outside and take a picture of our group after we finished our meal! I would love to come back and try other items on the menu as it seems very eclectic.

    Went there with some friends to try their famous cupcakes. There was a large selection of them. So, the 5 of us decided to share a few... We got the Honey Lavender, the Chocolate and the Portuguese Sweet bread.... We all agreed that the Sweet Bread cupcake was just DELICIOUS !! They had warmed it up before plating and it was just the right amount of sweetness, moistness and consistency. I was in Heaven!! I would go back and get a dozen of those and just pig out.... :-) I have not tried anything else, but it's on my list to come for breakfast and other desserts. The decor is chic and comfy....Like a nice old colonial home that has opened its doors for the masses !! The waitstaff at the counter was ok....not overly warm, not overly friendly, but just OK...

    Delicious perfection. Best dessert ever. Seriously oh my goodness do i ever love the banana split crepes yum yum yum. The truffle fries are pretty scrumptious too. I love the outdoor patio. They have some organic wines on the menu which is nice to see. They have a tremendous looking menu full of delish crepe dishes. I will definately be returning soon!

    VERY cute little place with great food and interesting atmosphere. We tried the Brie with Fig spread and the Umbrian Creppza which was basically a pizza the two crepes as the crust. So many delicious looking things on the menu. The outdoor seating area was really cute too! Will definitely be back!

  • Joie S.

    This place is so unique and awesome. And, they have a great outdoor patio. I love their drink selection and although I didn't try the food, the menu looked great. We also had a really friendly and attentive server. I was there with a large group and we all had a great time. I highly recommend the backyard patio on a nice day!

  • Heather G.

    This is a really cute spot for a "girls brunch date". The menu has some interesting crepe/cupcake options and everything I ate there was delicious. My only complaints are that the menu is fairly limited and that service is slow. There are just not enough people working there only busy weekends. I would recommend stopping by if you are not in a rush!

    The duck and bunny is one of the sweetest spots in providence, it is a snuggery after all. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. I prefer the fireplace room to have a little more privacy and for the pictures. The bar is the most snug of the rooms, it's usually the most high traffic as well. So be prepared, especially if you are going for Sunday brunch, to be close to your neighbors and to make some new friends! The food is always delicious. This last time I went with the crepe chip nachos, they came with hearty helpings of black beans, guacamole, salsa and cheddar cheese galore! Super good. My friend went traditional with the bananas foster crepe sundae- holy mother load of deliciousness! Most of the time I come here simply to grab some cupcakes to go. There are always new ones to try and never disappoint. I highly recommend duck and bunny to those passing through and to those that haven't yet discovered this treasure. It's quite a treat! Oh! Amazing cocktails as well!

    I was compelled to bump my review up a star. For D&B and I it was love at first sight, but I'm pretty sure it's getting serious... I'm going to ask them to raise a dog and move in with me. I had some time to kill before a show and decided to treat myself to wine and a yummy dinner. I really hate eating alone in public, actually, I don't think I ever have because the thought TERRIFIES me. I'm new to Providence and don't know many people but I don't want to miss out just because I'm alone- ya dig? I sat at the counter and ordered wine and a salad; my outlook on dining alone has forever shifted. I ordered the strawberry and grilled pear salad and holy mother, it's one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. Arugula and mixed greens, strawberries, goat cheese, and grilled pears drizzled with balsamic- fresh, melt in your mouth deliciousness. D&B is known for cupcakes and brunch, but their dinner is just as fabulous, not to mention top notch customer service always. I'm definitely not afraid to grab dinner by myself ever again. So next time you see me, I'll be down on one knee... needa put a ring on it.

    I've been getting cupcakes at The Duck and Bunny for quite some time now, but my friends and I finally went to brunch and we were not disappointed. I ordered the Bacon & Avocado Eggs Bun-a-Duck and it was wonderful. The foccacia (from Olga's) tasted slightly stale, but it didn't ruin the meal. My friends got crepes, and they both enjoyed them. One of my friends got a mimosa and enjoyed it, but my other friend and I ordered the Bloody Mary and fell in love. They add champagne to it which gives it a slight sweetness, and now we make all of our homemade Bloody Mary's that way if possible! It's just so cute and the staff is very friendly. I can't wait to return!

    So I know people turn to D&B for date nights, going out with groups and that sort of thing. The wife and I might be the first people to use D&B as a post game spot after a P-Bruins game haha and it ended up being a perfect end to the night. Nothing like some cupcakes and nightcaps to close out a good night I thought? So I assume on any given weekend night, you gotta wait for a table and our wait was short. Being that it was my first time, we went all out - a cupcake flight, appys and a few cocktails. Cupcakes, as advertised and mentioned in reviews, are worth the price of admission, but I got my socks rocked with the crepes we tried! I went with the Sweet Baby Jesus and true to the name, one bite and I said "Sweet baby Jesus this crepe is off the walls!" but my wife got the Belini crepe which is savory crepe with Belini caviar, scallion and sour cream. I'm a bit of a crepe snob and grew up with them (I come from an ethnic family) and this one top 3 one of the best crepes I've had in my life and I'm not even a savory crepe type of dude. Just bonkers that a crepe could taste this good; crepes and caviar - who knew!?!? Perfect mix! Wine and drink selection was on point. Vibe was young and cool. Staff was great. But man those crepes! I'll be back!

    I've been here twice, and have really enjoyed it both times. The first time I came for breakfast/brunch and had a very delicious French toast and coffee. The problem with coming for breakfast, though, is that one of their signatures is their cupcakes, and I think I actually had one as a breakfast dessert. (Is that a thing? Oh well, let's say it is.) The second time I came it was for drinks and appetizers on the back patio, on a beautiful day. The drinks were fine, and I ordered one of their fig and prosciutto pizzas, which was beyond delicious. The atmosphere on the back patio, shaded by a vine-covered trellis, just can't be beat. The atmosphere inside is quirky and fun, but the tables are a little bit tight.

  • Logan R.

    I had mulled wine and a cupcake. The mulled wine wasn't mulled wine so much as some heated up table wine with a cinnamon stick. It was fine but nothing to write home about. Interior is sort of cool. It's in a house so you get to feel like your at your friend's place, assuming your friend has a full bar, far too many tables, and a wait staff. The cupcake was a bit dry but the banana flavor (I had banana/nutella) was on point. Perhaps Sunday's cupcakes were all baked on Friday? Who knows. Our waitress was pleasant but the food and drink seemed run-of-the-mill to me.

  • Michelle R.

    SUCH GOOD FOOD!! This place is so cute and a perfect place for breakfast. The pancakes and bread pudding are amazing, as well as the large selection of teas. If you don't know what bread pudding is, definitely try it (I was a skeptic at first, but it turned out to be the best thing on the menu)!

  • Patrick L.

    Excellent spot for a cup of tea and a scone. I really enjoyed the pot of Darjeeling I had paired with a beautiful couple of scones. The jam and Devonshire cream were some of the best I've had stateside. Brilliant spot with an easy walk to India Point Park.

    It was difficult to give Duck and Bunny a 3-star, because I love their cupcakes! The only problem is, that is all that I love. The space is tiny and cramped. The crepe ranges from great to okay (no exclamation marks). I think I would only come here to buy cupcakes to go and not actually sit and dine. In my most recent visit (where I actually decided to sit in), I waited for around 30 minutes for my food. Thankfully, my partner and I decided to get the cupcake (which arrived immediately) and enjoyed that. FYI -- 30min was after we finished the cupcake. Luckily, we weren't "hangry" and we were enjoying each other's company, but I don't think it should take 30 minutes to prepare 5 slices of smoked salmon (which I presume would have been pre-prepared), a bunch of greens (aka. "salad") and a potato mash. Anyway, my advice--not a good place to get food, you have better luck getting good crepes at La Creperie on thayer than here. This place should just be for cupcakes. To go.

    My previous review is definitely in need of a refresher! I've been here twice since I made those comments and I have to say that things have definitely improved for me here. The only reason I am excluding a fifth star is because the service isn't always spectacular, but I feel like I've noticed a difference in the quality of the food and drinks. I look forward to enjoying all the lovely garden patio has to offer this summer!

  • Meltem G.

    We had brunch in this little place the other day. It was a bit cramped and stuffy inside. We sat in the fireplace room and ordered Bun-a-duck (a cute name for their version of Eggs Benedict) and an omelette. The omelette was a little bit overdone with too many ingredients, which totally ruins the taste. I guess the Eggs Benedict was fine, as my friend liked it. We also ordered beer on tap, but they told us that the tap was not working and we ended up with some kind of bottled beer which was not exactly the kind of beer that we wanted. The service was no so great, because we had to wait for everything for a long time. And we had to ask for every single detail such as salt and pepper and other small things. As for the much praised atmosphere, I think it is a bit overrated. They advertise as a "Snuggery," but it should be called "Smuggery" instead. We were surrounded by groups of teenage girls playing "Ladies who lunch," refreshing their perfume and make-up and throwing nervous glances around.

    This is my brunch review! I finally managed to have a Saturday off like a normal person so the BF and I decided to find a new place to chow... ha. So anyways, I have been meaning to come to the Duck and Bunny for a while but always walked passed it and never went in. Finally I made the big decision that "Today will be the day!" and had brunch here for the first time. This little "snuggery" is eclectically decorated with large comfy chairs that are all a little different. The pictures on the wall are all... well... interesting. But alas, you get to sit down and take a look at the menu. Might I recommend a few of my favorite brunch plates? The New York System Hot Weiner Omelette - for those carnivores out there and spice lover this is your breakfast. Why wouldn't you want to start your day with a burst of flavor on your tongue and a belly full of fire? The Mazzy Start crepe is mmm mmm good. Should have been made by Campbell's. It's light but cheesy. You now how you like cheese but sometimes people over do it and make it annoyingly cheesy? Well it isn't the case here. The mushrooms add the perfect additional texture to this dish that makes you happy for brunch. There's only street parking here on Wickendon. The other option is to park at India Point Park and then walk over on a busy day but this is annoying when it's raining or snowing outside! I definitely recommend this place!

  • Katalyst S.

    Good, close, adorable. Definitely recommend for those three reasons. My crepe was good but it wasn't huge and it wasn't in my top ten favorite crepe experiences or anything like that. Not gonna lie, for $10 I kinda expect a crepe to be huge (but that's just me). I've yet to try the cupcakes but just on service and presentation alone I left with a positive view of this place. Nothing was insulting. We didn't have to wait. The food tasted good. Everyone I came with was happy with what they ordered and how they were treated. The place was open late and that was a huge benefit. We easily parked on the street but I can see where that would be a problem in the busy daylight hours. I just wouldn't hesitate to come here again. The environment was pleasant.

    Literally 5 different staff members came out to say hi. Very strong coffee which is what you should get for 5 bucks. Good dessert too. I didn't expect such a nice back patio.

  • Evan V.

    Royal Tenebaum bought the house on Archer Avenue in the winter of his thirty-fifth year. That is far from a Yelp-worthy review, but that is all that runs through my head whenever I find myself being snuggeried. Dudes in fedoras and Brown students with ambitions to change the world, one non-profit at a time, round out much of the client-base. The foodstuff is delicate, as are the drinks. And for someone like me who truly enjoys a good schtick, I must say, trying harder is not always the best approach. I will return and I will pretend to enjoy it, but in reality anything beyond three stars is not A-OK. **We shall walk again, down along the lane...** (Slo-mo master shot - if you've been here, you know the rest).

    Last night was my first time here and I had very high expectations from what everyone has told me. First the food was awesome. We got there late so not too many cupcakes to choose from, my red velvet was delicious although a little hard on the outside (understandable from sitting out all day). We also got the banana split crepe. I have never had anything like it. SO YUMMY. As far as service goes, I can't complain too much as I do work in a restaurant and know what it's like when people come in close to closing time although i did feel a bit rushed in making my decision. Our waitress informed us the kitchen did close at 10 so we did order promptly. A little after 10 my friend wanted coffee, but our waitress said they weren't serving it anymore because last call was at 10.. But you can't make a coffee?..seemed a bit odd but hey what do I know. Maybe if we went earlier the service would have been better. I look forward to going back and having more cupcake options and maybe some dinner foods as well

    I'm surprised I never reviewed this spot! One of my favs when in the mood for a cozy spot for a cocktail and bite to eat. How cute that they do a champagne and cupcake flight! They're food is not only delicious but beautiful. It's a special little spot to bring a girlfriend or stop by on a date night. Good beer selection too for those craft beer fans out there!

    The Duck and Bunny refers to itself as a "snuggery," and it's just as cute and cozy as that name would suggest. The food menu, however, means business. Seriously, where else can you get a creperito (a crepe burrito?! genius!) and a Full Elvis (a peanut butter, banana, fluff, BACON, and fried egg sandwich) in the same place? Trust me, once you've finished your meal at Duck and Bunny, you'll definitely want to snuggle up and snooze away the afternoon. (Also, rumor has it that Emma Watson goes here when she feels like taking classes at Brown. If the food doesn't convince you to go, maybe the opportunity to stalk Hermione Granger will.)

  • Charlotte S.

    I'm very conflicted about this place. Surely, the decor is as cutesy as it touts, but cozy is a kind exaggeration like the way I'd imagine a realtor to describe closets converted to studios in a NYC apartment hunt. This is to say, while the place as a particular aesthetic, it's cramped and I certainly didn't feel comfortable dining in the room where other patrons were waiting for tables. The wait was definitely the worst part about the Duck and Bunny, which I assumed would happen on a weekend during prime brunch hours but the waiting doesn't end after you wait for a table. We waited 15 minutes for water glasses, another 10 minutes for the waitress to take our order, waiting, waiting, and then when we were finally served, we had to wait for utensils. The shoddy service is what would keep me from coming back here as the waitstaff spoke about us like we were cattle that needed to be moved out, meanwhile, they weren't effectively handling the tables anyway. The food was good but nothing spectacular. My friend and I split the Eggs Benny with Smoked Salmon and the Vegan Carrot Pancakes. The salmon portions were generous and the hollandaise was quite flavorful but the potato pancakes were undercooked, cold, and soggy underneath the eggs. The Vegan Carrot Pancakes were nothing like I've ever tasted before and I'm still sorting out my feelings about it. Basically, the texture was more like a crumpet than anything and the cream cheese glaze tasted like melted down cupcake frosting. We got a few cocktails with names we didn't catch - one was champagne based with citrus and mint served in a mason jar. That one was quite good. Another was a bright purple (almost black) color served in a pint glass with mint and blackberry. Beware of this one. It was foul and tasted like sneaker soles. Not that I chew on my own shoes but I might've enjoyed that better than this drink. The best drink, hands down, was some sort of beer-cocktail creation the bartender made. It tasted like he mixed a lighter beer with some sort of wine or liqueur and had a purplish cloud atop its foaminess. Trés bien. Anyway, if you're going to the Duck and Bunny, definitely go at an off time. Go for drinks or desserts, not food. Go when it's pleasant outside so you can enjoy their adorable back patio. And go when you're feeling particularly leisurely with a high threshold for flightiness from your server. We arrived at 12:30 and didn't eat anything until 2:30 so I finally finally understand what 'hangry' means.

    Delicious crepes and the egg bun a duck with pesto and bacon on the potato latkes was amazing! Took my Mom there for lunch the other day and she couldn't get over how wonderful everything was and how adorable this gem of a restaurant is. We sat outside and had the sangria and the lavender prosecco cocktail and both were yum! Gets busy so get there early!

    This place has adorable decoration, and I love that they call their garden "The Snuggery". So cute. The food is eclectic and has a good variety. My gripe is that our servers never seem to be quite friendly enough to remember with a positive thought. And the food has taken way too long to be brought out sometimes. Salads should NOT take 30 minutes to toss. Otherwise, I like going here when I feel like going on a cute date.

    The Duck and Bunny... a Snuggery - How can you NOT Love it?!?! "snuggery: (snŭg'-rē) n. a cosy and comfortable place" The outside was already cute enough but then you walk in and fall in love with the decor & atmosphere. Outdoor seating was cute but during fall, it was a bit chilly so we moved inside. We actually sat at the cute hightop 2/4 seater right at the entry way, the only table in the room. It was cozy and secluded but you see all the people waiting - Luckily, no one stares haha. The staff is incredible and you will notice, they are jack/jill's of all trades, they do EVERYTHING. You see nothing but a blur of color as they whiz by, but if you call out, they are there to help in an instant. Drinks Coffee/Iced Honey Latte - Delicious! Brunch The Duck and Bunny Roll Smoked Salmon, herbed cream cheese, cucumber, scallion, served with spicy mayo - Yum! The presentation was Gorgeous! It was fun and easy to eat, although it was a good portion, I wish there was more. Eggs Bun-a-Duck A pair of poached eggs served with hollandaise on Olga's rosemary foccacia with Norwegian Smoked Salmon - This was really good, came with some greens. It was missing something, a carb on the side. Portuguese Sweet Bread French Toast Local sweet bread dipped in cinnamon (skipped the Maple berry compote/Banana's foster with pecans to save $2, this was a side meal to my real Brunch haha) - Good but not the best. I wish it was a bit crispier, thats all. Truffle Homefries - This was delicious, but only 25% of it was crispy, the rest just soft potato. Although I would order it again, I would ask for it to be crisper. GREAT portion! ONTO THE CUPPY CAKES! Regular flavors are Carrot Cake Red Velvet Mocha with Espresso Buttercream Banana Nutella Chocolate Peanut Butter Double Chocolate Berry (vegan) Pear Cardamom (vegan) Flourless Chocolate Almond But we had the Pumpkin with Mascarpone Icing, HEAVEN!!!! We had it to go and ate it and home and Boy do I not regret buying a Dozen, just for myself! We bought a bunch as gifts and are dying to know how those were *drOOl*

    This place is so adorable!! 5 stars for the brunch. They have a great mix of sweet and savory options and an extensive cupcake list!! You can get 6 delicious mini cupcakes for $1 each. For my entree I got the sandwich sampler, which was the perfect amount of food for me since I wasn't super hungry. The mini sandwiches were cute, healthy, and still delicious. The ambiance is also great- with a mix of cafe and bar decor. It's a small place, but we still had no issues getting a seat on a weekend for brunch. I will definitely be back...soon!

    We arrived on a Sunday about 45 minutes after they opened and there was a full crowd already. The place is small but cozy and I loved the idea of a quaint, whimsical place such as this; however, I don't think the food or service quite delivered. We sat at the bar and the service was slow - to be expected for a busy Sunday and it's not the place you would be rushing out of, but still, seemed like a long time. I ordered the omelette with hot dogs, which was likely my own mistake. I didn't expect the quantity of mustard atop the omelette (which did not taste homemade) or just the taste of the meat & hot dog inside. I also tried the scone and it was OK - definitely not the best I've ever had. Overall, the food was OK but don't think this place is a must-see, if you are in the area.

    My boyfriend and I were excited to try The Duck and Bunny. After eating dinner at a nearby restaurant we thought it would be fun to go have dessert. When we first walked in it felt like we were walking into someone's house; we were a little confused but we were greeted very quickly by a friendly waitress. It was 6:30pm on a Sunday; it wasn't busy so we were seated right away in the main room with the fireplace and bar. Our waitress was personable; we ordered coffee, a carrot cake cupcake and the sweet baby James crepe. The coffee came within a timely manner, about 5 minutes, and I really enjoy it; I had an iced caramel latte. My boyfriend had an iced coffee which he said was average. Up until this point we were enjoying our experience, but ten minutes passed then fifteen, twenty, twenty five and still no cupcake or crepe. It was so strange; not a word from our waitress acknowledging the long wait for what seemed to be a simple order. We felt like we were in the Twilight Zone; how was this slow service acceptable?? What was going on in the kitchen? Finally thirty minutes later our desserts arrived. The cupcake was ok, but very small for the $2.75 price tag. The crepe was good but hardly worth $10; it was small and the filling was not very substantial. Overall a disappointing experience.

    Great atmosphere. It's a quaint teahouse with a real fireplaces. Lots of armchairs. Great place to sit and read a book, but with headphones because it can get a little crowded. If you're planning on coming for lunch or dinner, come early. This is one of those places in Providence that tends to get very busy on Fridays and Saturdays. I tried a savory and a sweet crap. both were okay, but kind of lacked flavor. The salad was pretty good. Definitely plan on going back and trying new things Great place to take out-of-towners They have these classical paintings on the wall that are duck or bunny themed, like girl with the pearl earring as a duck

  • Xiao Z.

    The duck and bunny is cute, I'll give ya that, and so far the best date spot for brunch in RI. It's incredibly cozy, with a homely decor, couches to rest on, and a fireplace with real live wood! The service is very friendly and polite, and they didn't even mind giving me the table when my friends were delayed for more than 20 minutes; best of all, they didn't even make me feel super guilty about not ordering more than water in the meantime. The food, however, was less than enticing and couldn't compare with the ambiance. The mini cupcakes were decent, I especially liked the red velvet with the cream cheese frosting, although the mocha chocolate and carrot cake cupcakes were a bit dry and alright. The burrito crepe was decent, although if you didn't tell me that it was a crepe, I wouldn't have known. I was kind of disappointed with the sweetbread pudding; the taste was alright, although very little meat, a lot more bread. Overall, I think if it were the food alone, it'd be a 3.5 star at best, but the ambiance is so great, that you'd likely impress if you brought him/her here. Food: 3 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Service: 4 stars

    Very cute and cozy place. Seems like a home transformed into a little cafe. Nice for a date. We had the ginger mint green tea which was really nice. We also ordered the strawberry mascarpone crepe with a side of Nutella for extra sweetness :) (FYI the crepe is cold)

  • Kristine R.

    After two more visits here I've tried a few things: * Rice bowl with salmon * Side order of their famous Portuguese sweet bread pudding * A full sized Honey lavender cupcake * A pot of green tea(s): Ginger mint, and Wildberry The rice bowl was perfection. I loved every bite of it. It was well prepared, the salmon slightly chilled (it can be prepared how ever you would like it--and they make sure ask to ask) the rice not too sticky, not too hard and piecey. Just right. I ordered in on a weekday morning. When the crowds were minimal and the space was quiet. (Love that.) The Portuguese bread "pudding" was not like I expected a pudding to taste. But it read that it had caramelized onions, bacon and the full order was served with poached eggs. So I knew it was going to be savory. I thought it was great. It had a lot of flavor, there was a perfect balance between the maple sweetness and the savory bacon. It was one of those "ah yes, bacon" moments. I definitely can see the how this dish won an award. The full-sized cupcake was still on the miniature side to me. Given that I was a bit stuffed with the bread pudding, I was okay with this. What won me over was their frosting. It was fluffy, whipped and light. I didn't care for the cake so much. It seemed like any ol' yellow cake that you could get out of a box. (Sorry) But the frosting is what took this home for me. The ratio between cake and frosting was pretty much equal in size. So every bite had a bit of frosting, which I liked. Of course, the pot of tea is always a win in my book. As is the atmosphere and decor. Always a win. Sorta which I could give the D&B a 4.5, but I'll again go with a 4 due to their cupcakes.. It's nice that they have a ever changing menu for certain days and times. I was a bit saddened when I was looking for the rice bowl again on a weekend and it was not on menu, so I opted for the sweet bread... which was delicious, so no complains there. It seems that they don't have their full menu available on their busy days (i.e. weekends). Understandable, but a bit of a bummer.

    It's an adorable place to eat, drink, have conversation, and enjoy cupcakes and crepes. The decor is great. Wonderful staff. And a fun atmosphere. It's a snuggery for sure- cozy up with friends or make new friends especially sitting at the bar. The truffle frites were great. I could eat those everyday. Twice a day even. We had two savory crepes (the Miss Harriet and the Rachel & Monica). You could take them or leave them. The ingredients were not as cohesive as we wanted and there was little seasoning. The crepe itself was good. Perhaps the sweet crepes were better. The cupcakes were delicious. Lots of variety and uniques flavors. Although it's probably not the best 'man date' spot, I'd come back again for the atmosphere, drinks, and crepes. Not a lot else like it around.

    On a blustery Providence evening, where the streets are lined with too many cars, mile high mountains of snow & a lingering dream of summer, lay a whimsical nook designed to seduce you into sweets and multiple glasses of wine. As a hunter, you could say, of intimate & cozy restaurants, I tend to scour the internet and reviews alike for a place just like this one. Nat and I popped in one night to kill some time before grabbing a friend from the airport. An hour turned into 3 and we were in love. This spot seems to be an old East Side-esque house that has been transformed into the dream you wish you lived in now. The walls in the bar area are painted in bold vertical stripes, and is lit magically with fairy lights, offset by a border of creamy feathers. The vibe alone will cause you to hallucinate visions of a perfect heaven. The music is always good, low key indie rock playlists bounce off the bustling conversations around you. The original fireplace takes center stage in front of the cozy booths, and it is more likely than not, always busy. My first time there, I ordered the Big Fire Pinot Gris, and true to its description it tasted like a sweet, tangy orange and I drank it like water. They had a special that night, something like a warm spinach salad with butternut squash, cranberries (maybe?) and blue cheese crumbles, tossed in a honey dijon dressing. I was sad to see it had left the menu when I came back. Sometimes food is so goddamn good tears come to my eyes, I take a bite of something and it is if I have been reborn, into a world without trouble & sadness. Combine this salad, with their bite size cucumber tea sandwiches, alongside my boo and a drunken conversation with a friendly single woman to our right, I was okay with dying. It was close to closing time, and the bartender packed up 5 or so extra cupcakes from the day (god help us if they had just thrown those things away!) and treated us to them as we cashed out. When I picked up my friend from the airport, she shoved a carrot cupcake into her mouth and we drove off into the night listening to Destiny's Child. The tears of sin and joy returned when I decided to treat myself to a (refrigerated) Portuguese Sweetbread Cupcake for breakfast the next morning. Holy shit, Duck & Bunny...Holy shit.

    What a cute place! My friend and I ordered an assortment of cupcakes. The Red velvet was by far the best I've had! Looking forward to going back and trying their crepes!

    This is one of those places that you would walk right by and think nothing of it if you didnt know it was there. But the food is amazing. They basically put anything in a crepe as a meal, and have delicious desserts! They also have a cute outdoor patio in the back for the nicer weather. The staff is always very friendly and the inside is very cozy and warm.

    One of the best and most mature approaches to a cupcake. Delicate and moist cake, with a light/fluffy and extremely well-whipped frosting that is lightly sweetened altogether. If you're looking for a super-sweet cupcake this isn't the place for you. Their cupcakes aren't about sweetness, it's about a subtle blend of unique flavors and combinations. But...I gotto say, their best cupcakes are the least unique ones - Red Velvet and Peanut Butter Chocolate. I don't know what they were thinking with that Portughese Sweetbreads Pudding Cupcake - yuk

    Portuguese bread pudding with BACON, scallions and sour cream. Get it! Always gotta try something different right? Place is different from the norm. Very cool. Basically a converted old home with different rooms. Patio is very cool.

    The Duck and Bunny is a nice little gem in Fox Point. The food is tasty, the restaurant itself is very cute, and the service is solid as well. Years ago, before I eliminated gluten from my diet, I had a very memorable meal here including smoked salmon and caviar! Oh my! Now, I don't dine here as frequently, as there are not a ton of gluten-free offerings. They do have GF cupcakes, but every time I have wanted to order one, they have been sold out, which is a bummer. One thing that I can eat here are the truffle fries, which are super delicious, and a nice dish to nosh on if you're here for a drink. The ambiance here is definitely a draw for me. It's just adorable! There are lots of little cozy corners inside, and the outdoor seating area is lovely as well. The service, in general is friendly and helpful. The staff has always been very eager to help me find something gluten-free to eat, and knowing that one of the chefs is g-free himself, I know that I am in good hands. I do enjoy what I can eat at The Duck and Bunny, and if they included more gluten-free items on their menu, I would certainly be here more often!

    Duck and Bunny is a really cute location. We came here on a Sunday morning looking forward to Brunch when we arrived there was a notice that they were closed in the morning for a private event and would reopen at 1 pm. Bummer but we went elsewhere for a small bite and then went to the RISD museum until we returned. When we return just before 1 pm the private event was mostly over and we were told that it would be about another 15 minutes. *grumble* We were finally seated and had a pleasant visit but the staff seemed stressed (which I understand that doing a private event is probably a lot of work) I think out attitude was a little soured. The cupcake was okay. Would return on a different day and time to see how things go down then.

    The duck and bunny was so super cute and the brunch was amazing. I got their pancakes with chocolate chips and peanut butter. So sweet but so so so good. My server was adorable and attentive. I went on a weekday morning so there was no wait at all! My cranberry mimosa with the sugar rim was wonderful! The indoor seating is a little small, but it adds to the charm in my opinion. Highly recommended

    Finally was able try some cupcakes from here! They were very moist and not too sweet. They have selected flavors for each day so today my favorite choice would be the red velvet! As for the rest of the place it was adorable! Decorated for comfort and style. Super cute! The iced coffee was also pretty good as well. All in all can't wait to go back and try more flavors and maybe sit down and enjoy the cozy atmosphere!

    Went last night to catch up with a friend. I've been to duck&bunny several times but it was a first for my friend. The atmosphere was really nice and they had their Xmas tree up already. I got the carrot cake cupcake because it's my favorite and it was delicious. The cupcake was moist but I love the cream cheese frosting the most. I paired it with the apple sangria and it was also really nice. It tastes like a crisp hard cider with cinnamon in. My friend got the sampler and got try to the carrot cake, mocha espresso and red velvet. She said the mocha espresso was delicious. It was moist and had a deep espresso flavor. It also came with wine. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet evening with desert and some drinks.

  • Julie C.

    Really unique place with awesome coffee and some great dessert crepes. I absolutely love the truffle fries. The rest of the food, however, is not great. They actually have some pretty disgusting water that they charge like, 7 bucks for, and try to pass off as French Onion Soup. The lunch crepes were not my favorite. Overall, if you are sticking to dessert and coffee - two thumbs way up. Everything else... Well... not so much.

    I really wanted to like this place, based on the food and drinks, but it's very uncomfortable. We were seated in the bar area, a party of three squished on the bench with a tiny table. Aside from the overwhelming feeling of claustrophobia, there were flies everywhere. I felt too dirty to eat here. There were numerous times where I had to swap the fruit flies off my sandwich. Eventually, I just gave up and asked my mom and sister if we can leave. Aside from that, the place is charming. It has a romantic, tea-party setting and the drinks were great. Maybe I'll try here again next time I'm in town.

    My mom was one of those ladies that used to throw tea parties in her backyard for all her female relatives complete with finger sandwiches containing watercress. Going to Duck and Bunny brought me back to those sunny afternoons outside with ladies who lunch. This was a female outing for the ladies on my father's side of the family. It was a sunny August afternoon but not stifling. When presented with the option of the cool air conditioned interior or a more spacious set up in the garden, we went for the garden. Delicious and different homemade iced teas of the black and green varietals (no cocktails for the ninaldi ladies, we had some serious shopping to do after;) ) What to start with? Bacon wrapped dates. Sure they look sort of like cockroaches but if you are carnivorous give them a try, the salty and sweet is a nice combination, and dates make you feel classy and well rounded. I had the Mazzy Star crepes with mushroom and truffle oil (yes I know, such a trend) the crepes were delicious and savory, which is good as I do not have a huge sweet tooth. Lightly dressed greens were paired with all of the savory crepes. To accompany our crepes we had the truffle fries (again with the trendy truffle oil) they were perfect, dusted with gansett creamery cheese and rosemary. Because we are all so alike, for our dessert we had maxi (full sized) banana nuetella cupcakes, which were as expected, divine. The frosting is what really drove the cupcakes home, and there was the perfect cake to frosting ratio. On our way out we went in and viewed the cupcake bar to get some "to-go" for the men in our lives, and in addition to buying another dozen maxi cupcakes, we were given a mini cupcake for each of us present to have as a snack later. Very nice touch D&B!

    I had been wanting to go to the Duck & Bunny forever, and I was not disappointed. I had heard mixed reviews from people about the service and food, but the menu seemed so awesome I wanted to go anyways. I was pretty happy with my experience. We sat at the bar, on what was a fairly busy Friday afternoon. I had the Eggs Bun-a-Duck and a side of fries, plus the Caleigh drink. Everything was pretty good. The fries were the best part, but I enjoyed my whole meal. We ended it with coffees and a cupcake.The service was fine; it helps that my friend is on a first-name basis with the entire staff (she's a bonafide regular). Granted, we were also at the bar. But everyone was attentive. I give it a three stars because I'll likely be back again - the menu is so unique and the atmosphere was super cozy.

    The atmosphere is great. The food is okay. If you're a picky eater, it's hard to find things you'll enjoy. The best part about this place is the dessert. Get a banana Foster crepe and I'm still thinking about it. Definitely a great crepe place. They're also known for their cupcakes but they're either a hit or miss. Sometimes a little dry. Good gluten free options. Service is impeccable.

    Duck and Bunny is a super popular spot on WIckenden St. It's great to set a reservation or not show up already super hungry because it often takes a while to get seats, especially on weekends. Service is usually okay. The servers are busy working with a lot of tables. For a small space they find a way to fit people in. There's a really cute room that's basically for groups that are waiting to be seated and it also has a high-table area for a party of two. The space is still small enough that on packed days people wait in the staircase or go for a walk before receiving a call to say their table is ready. Then there are two rooms for eating on either end of the store (the chairs in these areas are kind of a close together), and a bar area. There's also an outdoor area, which is lovely in the summer time. My favorite go-to's are as follows: the banana foster french toast with pecans (I've gotten it plenty of times and it never fails, plus it's super filling), the honey lavender cupcake (light and sweet), and the caffeine-free teas which are delicious and served in a tea pot with tea cups. Whenever I had friends visiting from out of town I made sure to take them to The Duck and Bunny because it's a super cute shop and offers some great food options at a reasonable price. Plus one can always get a couple of cupcakes to go on their way out.

    Overpriced-3 stars bc it's good, but not great. Good crepes (but u can get better) and awesomely decorated place (quaint, full of details, love that it has a comfy livingroom feel. I love all the ducks & bunnies you can spot everywhere! And they have good tea. Actually the best part is their tea selection. BUT- the English style tea tray w/sandwiches & pastry is too simple & overpriced. Just a few bites if sandwiches w/the crusts cut off to make u feel like ur in kindergarten again (not a good thing), a few mini cupcakes that were nicely decorated but just tasted like plain ol'vanilla/chocolate/red velvet cupcakes. Nothing to write about really. I could pick up similar cupcakes at the grocery store... For a fraction of the price. And if you've ever had true English tea in true British fashion, this tea time tray is lame. I don't plan to be back. I would maybe... If I was feeling like some tea... Maybe. But I'd go find a nice pastry somewhere else to eat w/my tea.

    Two experiences now at the duck and bunny... Both great! We got to sit in two different rooms too and both had great atmosphere. Very eclectic and cool with chandeliers, pictures of ducks and bunnies that have taken over famous paintings (Van Gogh with a duck bill). Really cozy and comfortable. Anyways, I love chai and they make theirs homemade there. I would call myself a chai snob (admitting it is the first step) and only like certain brands, but they do chai right! They have a whole section of eggs Benedict and different crepes which were both very good. Oh! And I forgot to mention... Truffle Home Fries! Drool. Now on to the cupcakes... I saved the best for last because I'm not sure if I have ever had better. I work at a wedding facility and get really giddy when the duck and bunny delivers cupcakes for a wedding. The BEST one is the MOTHER EFFING CANNOLI CUPCAKES. Dark chocolate salted caramel is pretty gosh darn amazing too. I have only been for brunch and cupcakes so I will have to go back and try lunch/dinner soon.

    I have nothing but a thumbs-up for the Duck and Bunny. It is a restaurant/café that has a cozy, cute atmosphere. My fiancé and I often meet up here with friends for a drink (usually a beer for him and a tea for me) and a cupcake, of course! We love the cupcake selection - - our favorites are the Banana Nutella, Honey Lavender, and Red Velvet. They also have an outdoor patio in the back that is perfect for a warm summer night.

    I must admit that I'd been holding off on a review because I felt this place was almost too precious to be real. Cupcakes? Overstuffed, feathery, fuzzy white decor? Calling themselves a 'snuggery'? BUT. I was there last night, and the experience I had was so good that I had to review. Their cupcakes have always been good, but every time I went in, I noticed (and promised I would have to try) their real food. When we were in the mood for a smallish dinner at about 9:30, we figured it was time. I had an UNBELIEVABLE crepe-noodle dish with mushrooms, roast beef, and a creamy cheese sauce. It was a smallish portion for $14, a bit disappointing, but the flavour was PHENOMENAL. The crepe noodles (sliced crepe pieces, not just made with crepe dough) were delicate and not too sweet, perfect to temper the richness of the sauce and the mushrooms. The roast beef was thin-sliced and tasty, and the whole thing vanished so fast I didn't even have time to take a picture. They were slammed, but the service was very fast, and they got everything right. At no point did we feel neglected at all, which was a miracle considering how many people there were. Also very impressive was that they were still actively baking cupcakes at ten on a Saturday night. I ended up having to have a red velvet one because the baker walked a freshly-baked tray past me, and the smell hijacked my brain. Yeah. That's the truth. And oh! it was SO GOOD. The cupcake was moist and perfect, and the frosting was so smoooooth. This was obviously not a cupcake that had just been rewarmed, but truly fresh. That right there is a mark of true amazingness - ten thirty on a Saturday night, and I just got a FRESH cupcake. Bliss.

    I'll give this three stars, just because the ambience is nice and the servers were sweet. I came here with really really high hopes. my friend and I were extremely excited because we've heard such good things about this place. My friend had a vegan chocolate cupcake and I had a Portuguese bread pudding cupcake (?)...the vegan chocolate cupcake wasn't that good. It was actually kind of dry, which I found odd because every vegan chocolate cupcake I've had is pretty moist. The Portuguese bread pudding cupcake...was brought to me hot (she said it came that way) which was fine, but there really was no flavor. The vanilla ice cream was good, I mean, how can you mess up vanilla ice cream right? I don't know, I really didn't like both of our desserts. Maybe it was specifically and coincidentally both of our desserts that weren't good, but I wouldn't return here. I'm sticking to Pastiche!

    Great atmosphere and probably an amazing location in the Winter with the fireplace but a tad warm in the Summer as the AC was struggling to just simply make it comfortable. The cupcakes were perfectly made and the scones amazing. The tea selection was great as well but the service (as courteous as it was) just didn't live up to even the most basis level - several items forgotten, needed to remind the staff, etc. This is a great place to go for a transporting experience out of the usual.

    This is going on first impressions- I'm certainly going back to see if the greatness continues, or if it's just first timers luck. So, it's cold out, I get some hot chocolate. I like mine on the rich/dark side and they nailed it! The friends I was with were talking to me, but, I have no clue what they were saying. It was just me and the hot chocolate. I ordered the Wyatt-Reuben, which was OK. I feel it was tasty but lacked.....something. It was hard to choose with my friends recommending everything on the menu. I also snagged a few of my friend's french fries, (truffled pomme frites). So tasty, so delicious! Oh god, then it came to the sweets! A friend and I ordered some coconut tea along with a Samoa cupcake for the each of us. Someone else at the table ordered the Banana Nutella cupcake. Which I did not try, (not being a fan of nutella), but both who DID eat it, gave 6 out of 5 stars. Oh, and the atmosphere. They sat all of us next to a 'fireplace'. I put that in quotes, since it was really a fireplace filled with candles. Not really anything for warmth, but insanely adorable. Even though there was quite a few people in there, it was quiet and the staff was attentive. Tablecloths, candles on the table- it was cute, I liked it. It was so yummy, I absolutely had to bring a cake home. They have little Portuguese sweet breads....so goooood. ::drool::

    The Duck and Bunny is a snuggery indeed! Nestled amongst loads of businesses on Wickenden Street, the outside of the restaurant is very unassuming. Step inside, however, and find yourself amazed. The decor is amazing, and depending on which room you find yourself nibbling in, you will either be in a beautiful dark blue room, or a light and airy white-on-white-on-white-on-white room, with textures really setting the stage for the decor rather than color alone. The brunch options included everything from your traditional menu items such as eggs benedict, to the more adventurous hot weiner omelet. I found myself somewhere in the middle, getting potato latkes "benny style": eggs, hollandaise, bacon and avocado. Amazing. Portions were just right to slightly large in size. I certainly didn't have room for one of the amazing cupcakes available. Luckily, my strawberries and cream cuppycake (as I like to call them) was easily made to-go. Hurrah! Parking in the area was a little tough, but not undoable. Be patient and willing to walk a block or so and you're golden. PS - No ducks or bunnies were harmed in the making of any of the meal items.

  • Libby F.

    I used to love D&B, their cupcakes were reliably delicious and the food always good. I'm a bigger fan of the food than I used to be, but the last 3 times I went, the cupcakes have gone downhill. My favorite is the chocolate and caramel sea salt, and the last few times it has been dry with more frosting and less caramel filling, and almost no salt to be found. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt but it's disappointing. I'll be waiting to hear until this improves. On the otherhand, I had a savory crepe, the turkey, cheese and cranberry, and it was as good as I have come to expect eating in Providence.

    I've never had anything here I didn't like. But what wins it for me is the atmosphere. All of the people are friendly and it's just such a cute place to while away some time. It just puts me in a good mood. I mean, it is a 'snuggery' after all. If you're a fan of art deco, you might just love it here.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. They do every aspect perfectly. The food is excellent - I'm actually salivating at the thought of their mandarin almond salad (the citrus vinaigrette is UH-mazing). Then there's the drinks.. er, well, that shouldn't be plural because I only tried one beverage and then I could never bring myself to try anything else because their Caleigh is SO good. They steep their own lavender for this drink, combined with prosecco, vanilla, and garnished with blueberries. My only complaint is that it isn't big enough. (No drink served in a flute ever is). The cupcakes are obviously awesome. When I left providence my friend got me a box of 6 because he knew they were my favorite in the city. Last but certainly not least is the amazing, cozy, cute atmosphere. It's unlike any other. All I can say is that you're doing yourself a disservice if you visit Providence and don't go here.

    YUP. 5 well deserved stars right in the kisser. This place is awesome. Its small so don't bring a crowd; Instead bring a close friend to try something new in an eclectic and intimate setting. I really do love this place. When I first saw the sign outside, all I could think about was how I had no idea what a "snuggery" was. Well the Duck and Bunny is just that. When you walk in, you basically walk into someones little home but its actually a funky little tea house. In one room, there's a small bar with a few stools and the bar itself if a cupcake display (cupcake display!!). I'll get to the cupcakes in a second because they deserve at least a sentence or two. The interior is very funky and cool. Its all white on white but with old fashion flair with white antique chandeliers, crystals, small little sculptures and a fire place. Honestly, I don't know what the rest of the place looks like because I happily settle right into this room (ADD most likely). I know there is more seating in another little room and an outdoor patio/ garden area. From what the inside looks like, I can assure you the rest of the place is just as fun to be in. Their food is delicious and they give good size portions. Huge crepes for such a small place. And their coffee mugs are big too, they require two hands. I'm a sucker for big mugs, they make everything more homey. This place has beer, wine, coffee and of course an assortment of teas. They even offer a wine and cupcake flight which will be my next adventure. I've been here a few times and always get one of their fantastic crepe-sandwich things. A friend of mine ordered the NY franks crepe and visibly died and went to heaven before my eyes.. and he was skeptical to even go in the first place now he begs me to go back. THAT good. The staff is just as good; they're all cool people. You can just tell. They're down to earth, chatty and all around just nice people. Now for the cupcakes. How good are they you ask? Well imagine this: I fight a serious urge to just stop in to get one to-go..every time I drive by... I live on the same street so some quick basic math says I drive by A LOT. That's a lot of urges. They're so delicious and come in all kinds of flavors and crazy concoctions with cookies, reeses, and fillings. Its amazing. These are the real deal cupcakes. Non of that fake crap you add water and maybe one egg to. No. These are cupcakes made with precision, love and all the right ingredients. You know what, I'm just gonna end it here and say go get a cupcake you little Yelper you, you deserve it.

    Duck and Bunny has to be one of the best treasures in Little Rhody. I had an Almond Joy cupcake that was to die for on my first visit and I was hooked. The Coconut Truffle tea is amazing and I haven't have a crepe I didn't like from here. I brought my girlfriend (who was from out of state) here on our first date and I think it definitely made her fall in love with our little state.

    3.5 stars Duck and Bunny has the perfect cutesy, princess-y environment that's perfect to catch up with your girlfriends. For brunch on a weekend, like other yelpers have mentioned, you often have to be prepared to wait (unless you get there pretty early). I'm not really too impressed with their brunch items and its quite overpriced, in my opinion, for what you get. If your friends do drag you there.. get the banana fosters french toast, but ask for the sauce on the side so you can control the level of sweetness. For dinner, I would totally recommend! The prices are a lot more acceptable and they have a lot of items on the menu that are very inventive-- crepecini (noodles made of crepes) and crepezza (crepe pizza?). For the cupcakes, the molten lava cupcakes that they serve during the colder weather are to dieee for. They're heated up in a cup with melted chocolate on the inside, so good! I also enjoy the lavendar, banana nutella and espresso cupcakes!

    My friend challenged me to give D&B another try, and I was open to is based on her rave reviews and unwavering adoration of their thin mint cupcakes. So, we popped in after dinner, sat in front of the fireplace, ordered some wine and a few cupcakes, and the re-appraisal began. I have to say, it was lovely. We sat there for hours, chatting about everything and enjoying the half dozen mini cupcakes we'd selected from the cupboard. I had a lovely glass of sparkling shiraz with my trifecta: pumpkin spice with mascarpone frosting, thin mint (of course), and carrot cake. All were delectable, and none made me ill (as they had previously). The interior is still as charming as ever, and the service was great. It was quite bustling on a Thursday night, especially after 8pm. We were cozy in our easy chairs by the fireplace, and didn't feel any sort of pressure to rush out after we'd finished our nibbles. In fact, I ordered a cup of peppermint tea that came in its own pot, which was quite pleasant. I'm glad I have D&B another shot... it was well worth it!

    They have a pretty unique brunch menu with all sorts of interesting stuff. The most recent time I went, I got the New York System Wiener Omelette. Not only did it taste great, but it was surprisingly light and fluffy. I wasn't expecting that given the name of it. The presentation is also very nice, the Simply Sandwiches dish in particular is nice looking. I'm also a fan of the "signature drinks" section of their menu.

    My happy place. Serves up fresh & local innovative food daily. Their truffled pomme frites are a staple amongst my friends, and I'm not much of a cupcake eater but I love their mocha and banana nutella variety. Perfect for a date or brunch, not for a larger crowd due to the small space. Open fairly late which is always a plus.

    I love the D&B. it's adorable, cozy, the food is amazing and I'm still giddy at the fact that I can order cupcakes and beer at the same place! I still haven't tried the soup, so I can't speak to that, but everything else I've had at this place has been wonderful. Crepes--kick ass Cupcakes-- OMG I dream about the Portuguese sweetbread Latkes--The Latkes Benny is superb Lava Lambp signature cocktail--delicious and beautiful to look at Coffee--perfect every time Wine--Decent list and good prices Cappuccino--perfect every time Tea sandwiches--tasty and so cute! Ordering them makes me feel so dainty The Duck & Bunny wants to make me fat, but I just want to love them.

    As quaint as it gets. The D&B is known for its crepes and cupcakes for good reason, but its other offerings are also great. An don't overlook the cocktail list! Given that it's a 'snuggery,' it's pretty close quarters, so those looking for spacious spots might wanna take a pass.

    Yum, yum, yum. The place is really cute and super hipster. It was packed when we went and we got a tiny table in the bar area. My salted caramel cupcake was to die for but I was underimpressed with my husband's crepes. i think the waiter forgot about them and they were chewy. I have heard great things about their crepes so I will assume this was more the waiter's fault than the dish itself. I would go back just for those cupcakes, but the place was a bit pricey.

    Love, love, love this place! I was never a fan of crepes until my friends had me try The Duck and Bunny. I realized it is sweet crepes I don't like, but boy do I love the savory ones. The Wyatt-Reuben is so delicious! The last time I was there I tried a cup of ther vegetartian French Oninon soup and I wish I had gotten the bowl. My husband is a fan of the Monte Cristo which is also amazing! And who doesn't love truffle fries. This place is one of a kind.

    One of my favorite places to take people for desserts and drinks. I love that it's in an old colonial house and the decor is funky and eclectic. I especially like the pictures of ducks and bunnies in the formal dining room. I've heard they have good crepes, though I've never had them myself. I usually end up getting one of their gourmet cupcakes and a glass of wine or tea. The nutella cupcake is a MUST if you can get it. The last few times I've been they were out of cupcakes or only had red velvet cupcakes left. So the moral of my story is go there early and go there often, this place won't disappoint!

    I love Duck and Bunny, everything about it! Decor, food, service, location - I will recommend everyone to come here when they're on the east side and are visiting Providence. Decor - Can it be any cuter? The restaurant looks like an old building from the outside but when you walk in, it feels like you are stepping into a castle lobby with beautiful lights hanging down from the ceiling. The host table is tiny so make sure you don't swing your coat or bag around in big motion. The tables and chairs arrangement are "cozy", ok maybe feel like a tiiiny bit jammed, but it doesn't bother me at all. If you have large parties, make sure you come early and put your name down. They CAN accomodate large groups (5+) but there will be a wait. Food - Corn beef hash: delicious! I ordered it as a side dish and it came in a generous portion bowl. I like how the potatoes were not completely mashed up but still had a good bite. I had their mini-sandwiches platter which was the most adorable dish I ever had (my husband said it was too dainty and little portion) but for $8, you get to sample 5 different sandwiches. It was worth it for me because every bite was heavenly! Hubby ordered the french toast which was a dessert explosion. The fluffy french toast was coated with banana syrup goodness and he inhaled it in no time. The french toast was so soft, no knife necessary. A fork is all you need for this indulgence. Dessert - as if the french toast wasn't enough, we ordered their cupcakes for dessert. They have very creative flavors and the cake is moist, not TOO sweet and is very adorably decorated. 5 star! Service - There was a 20 minute wait so we sat on the comfortable couch. While we waited, we watched the staff running back and forth serving the customers with a smile. However, one of the staff actually took the time to explain their private parties arrangement with me when I asked them a few questions. I was surprised they didn't brush me off and even showed me where the outdoor patio is. I can't wait to host a party there during the summer! Parking - Street parking only but I never had trouble finding a spot.

    How awesome is this place? I had a fantastic glass (or two) of wine and brought some cupcakes home. If you are in love it is a great place to go with your sweety, and if you have a little girl, this is a perfect place to have a tea party. I would not hesitate to go back here. Next time I am going to try their food.

    I really do love the duck and bunny. I dont know if maybe my couple of times there were just very busy moments, but as much as a want to like it... they shove wayyyy too many people in one area to categorize it as a snuggery. I would give duck and bunny 5 stars for the awesome interior, relaxing couches, cozy fireplaces, and cute bar. I would give the prosecco cocktail I had 5 stars as well. But the amount of people I feel like I'm sitting on top of whenever I'm there knocks the stars down a bit. I would definitely recommend the duck and bunny to anyone looking for a different dinning experience, but I might wait again till the warmer months when they open the outside. I will try duck and bunny again, but if there are people crowding the rooms, i might just turn and leave for another day.

    Alice in Wonderland tea shop meets Alice in Wonderland Tea shop(but in real life). Skip the crepes and kill yourself on cupcakes(banana-nutella, red velvet, and salted caramel are great). The drinking chocolate is also really good.

    Really good crepe place. Small location but has a lot of character. Ordered the mazzy star crepe (mushroom) and a Black Forest ham/Swiss cheese French toast between my sister and me. Both dishes came with small salads, which complemented them well. Not sure what kind of maple syrup they had but it had the perfect balance of sweetness and viscosity. They need to sell the syrup to the public. I'll be the first person in line to buy it. If this place was transplanted to the San Francisco Bay Area, it would have red-hot popularity. Surprised to find such a nice place in providence and it's a real treat for those in the community. Overall, this place gets my highest recommendation. Protip: After visiting duck & bunny, be sure to grab a cup of fresh roast coffee from Coffee Exchange.

    My favorite Sunday night place :) a couple of cupcakes and a fancy lady drink makes for a perfect end to a weekend. I love the red velvet, and honey lavender is perfect. I am on a mission to try all the drinks, but the sleepy hollow is my favorite so it's hard to stray from that.

  • Taylor V.

    The only thing that draws me into the Duck & Bunny each time is the cupcakes and the decor/vibe. Like other reviewers have noted, the decor is like that of Alice in Wonderland/tea at the Mad Hatters. The concept of a "snuggery" is perfect, especially in the cold winter months. Tea and lattes are wonderful. I had the Portuguese Sweet Bread cupcake this weekend heated up and it was delightful, tasted just like french toast. Prices on the brunch menu were a bit too steep for my liking. I am a brunch girl but do not find it a nice environment for a meal. Cupcake, coffee and a nice conversation with a good friend is enough for me. 5 stars for the cupcakes for sure. I would also have liked to see the restaurant a bit more clean. The leather looks like it should be wiped down a little better. Coconut truffle tea with honey and a splash of milk is delicious!! Now I am hungry for cupcakes!!!

    You have to try this place if: 1. You love adorably named things. Come on, "the duck and bunny" - why didn't I think of that? 2. You like cupcakes. In my opinion they far outshine The Cupcakerie and Sweet Indulgences. The chocolate thin mint is one of my personal favorites. 3. You're always on the hunt for a great outdoor garden in which imbibing and noshing can commence. Didn't even realize it existed until my "local" friends showed me the secret passage way. Hopefully you'll find it too.

  • Danny C.

    Although Duck and Bunny is a pretty good place for desserts, I wouldn't say it's a top-notch quality like ones such as Pastiche. But this could be because I'm not a big fan of cupcakes, which are their signature dessert menu- They have quite a wide range selection of teas, which is nice for people who prefer teas over coffee. The ambience here might be a little uncomfortable at first because it's a bit kitchy but once you get used to it I think it's okay-

    I've been coming here since the beginning and yes there have been some changes but you can still get great service and food. It's freakin' adorable and I love bringing my out of town guests here. On the weekends it is PACKED! Such a tiny place and so many eager (and hungry) people trying to get a table, order etc. Once you're settled, there won't be a rush for you to leave and you can literally spend hours at your table without being bothered. In my opinion, D&B really shines with its cupcakes and tea party food for afternoon and morning visits. At night, the quality beers on tap (plus 'gansett tall boys for those who want something simpler) and concise wine list go perfectly with a cheese and meat board. I spent too many nights here in grad school doing "work" or going for "just one drink". Also, in the summer the patio is a pleasant alternative to air conditioning.

    I visited the Duck and Bunny again and would bump it up to 3.5 stars. We got there around ten pm and they had plenty of cupcake varieties available. My chocolate peanut butter was tasty but dry, but the banana Nutella was AMAZING. I also enjoyed my tea, which was some sort of berry flavor. We were seated in a cozy little corner booth, which was nice for relaxing and catching up. Service was slow but much more on point than last time. I'd like to return to check out the afternoon tea!

    I think this place may soon be in 4-5 star territory, but based on my first visit they're still finding their legs. They've certainly done an impressive job of creating a totally different feel in the old Blue Elephant space. Well-thought-out, detail-oriented menu; friendly, chatty owner providing table service when it's not too busy (despite signs directing us to order at the bar); nice small selection of draft beer and larger selection of wine; many tempting food options. However, everyone in my group agreed that they're going to need to work on the price points a little. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to pay a premium for excellent, locally sourced food. But a crepe should not be ten dollars unless it is filled with excellent, locally sourced caviar -- or unless it is ginormous, I guess. Which these are not. They are a normal, reasonable crepe size and should go for a normal, reasonable five to seven dollars depending on the nature of the fillings. We tried both sweet and savory crepes; they were nicely plated, freshly made, and tasty (though the "egg cup" crepe needed a lot more seasoning and less cooking time for the egg). Price points on the cupcakes and drinks were much more appropriate, and the cupcakes were delicious. I'm even willing to try the $18/person "high tea" one of these days based on the variety of goodies described. I hope this place will succeed, and that they will make the adjustments required to help them sell a lot more tasty crepes. Meanwhile, it'll be cupcake flights for me and my friends.

    Cozy yet chic. Great for meeting up with a long lost friend or hunkering down to do some work in a pleasant atmosphere. Not only do they serve tea, coffee, light savory meals, and beer/wine, they also have the yummiest homemade cupcakes. I didn't order any food (aside from cupcakes), but it looked (and smelled) amazing. The servers/owners were friendly and laid back. There were REAL Brits having high tea at the table next to me, so The Duck & Bunny must be doing something right!

    Got a banana cup cake with chocolate filling: sweet, moist, creamy and wonderful! I'm a fan, for sure! My wife and daughter got one of their peanut butter chocolate truffles, and they found them to be too salty and dry. Still, the garden in back, the black & white decor ... it's a nice place for an occasional decadent treat. They even sport a selection of wines. I'd most definitely return.

    Really cool place serving 2 of my favorite things, cupcakes and crepes! Oh and beer and wine! Hard to find a place for good dessert that also serves alcohol. However, I've been a few times and have had some hits and misses. First the good... the Distinguished Lincoln crepe and the blue moon and peaches and cream cupcakes were amazing! But I was really looking forward to trying the Sweet Baby James crepe and was soooo disappointed! It was cold, like just out of the refrigerator cold. And the strawberries were cut too big in my opinion. And the carrot cake cupcake was definitely nothing to write home about. But overall, the good has outweighed the bad for me and I'll be back!

    Cute decor, tea list is not too extensive but good. The crepes were super yummy and the service excellent. I don't like cutesy spots, I took my mom here as a present cause I love her you know. And really the place was fun. Super good tea sandwiches. I would have given 5 stars but I didn't like my tea that much and thought they could have served it in a better manner it was dripping everywhere. Maybe I am too picky.

    this is a very fun place to go if you can sit outside with friends. the food is very good and so is the beer. the cupcakes are amazing, I love the tiny ones so you can try different flavors. The interior is very silly and overdone. Duck and Bunny provides a perfect recreational eating experience but it isnt what i would choose alone.

    I bought the Groupon for a box of their cupcakes, so this review is based soley on those. I can't vouch for any of the other food or table service. We stopped in this past Saturday for a box of 4 cupcakes. I hadn't printed my Groupon on paper, so I was going to give the mobile Groupon app a shot. They don't have any way of scanning the barcode, but the girl at the counter said she could just write down the number and that should suffice... so that was cool of her to do for us. We picked out 4 cupcakes: red velvet, mint brownie, peanut butter truffle, and banana nutella. The red velvet was decent. I've been on a bit of a mission to find the perfect red velvet cupcake, and I don't think I've quite found it yet. The cake was a bit too dry, and I'm under the impression that red velvet is supposed to be super moist. The cream cheese frosting was quite yummy, though! My boyfriend got the brownie mint, which I tired a bite of, and it was really yummy! There was a York peppermint patty baked into the cake part, yum! The peanut butter truffle one was also his, which I also sampled, and wasn't too impressed. Again, the cake was a bit too dry. My favorite was the banana nutella. It was basically a banana bread cake with globs of nutella baked in. Fantastic! So, in conclusion, the cupcakes that had some form of liquid baked into the cake were very good... the ones with just plain cake were a bit too dry for my taste. Overall, I was pleased with my experience and would certainly not turn down a cupcake from there! Sure beats the supermarket bakery!

    Me , my mother, and my best friend were walking down Wickenden Street when we came across this cute little place. We loved that it was called The Duck and Bunny but we were hesitate to go in at first because under neath the name it said a snuggery. We weren't really sure what they meant by a "snuggery" until we walked in. It is a small interesting place with a cozy interior. No this was not a place to go with my mother or my friend. It is really meant for couples being that you are practically sitting on top of one other which is fine if you are on a date. The tea that I wanted they ran out of which was upsetting so the waitress gave us a selection that we might like. She even gave us the bigger teapot for free since they ran out of the flavor we originally wanted. We ended up getting a peach tea and some type of green tea. Both were very tasty. My mother got crepes that she enjoyed. I will definitely go back to this place but next time with my boyfriend.

    I read the reviews on this place and it looked to be great. I went by to give it a try and upon entering I felt awkward. I couldn't tell if it was a sit down restaurant or a place to grab a cup of tea to go from looking at it from the outside. None the less I ventured inside and the girl working was talking to her friend for five minutes before she decided to acknowledge me. It felt more like I walked into her house than a public business. But then I realized I wasn't at her house when more of her friends showed up and she invited them to come by to her house sometime to hang out in her bathtub lol. So finally I order my tea and she was like "to go! Right?!" I was like yes please I wanted it to go anyways but would have been nice to not make it seem like that was my only choice. The tea was delicious and I didn't try the cupcakes but they looked amazing. Despite this critique on the service it seemed like a nice little spot and I will return for another try.

  • Leysa M.

    Very cute place but there's no privacy whatsoever, tables are too bunched together. I greeted one of the waitresses and was ignored- she literally looked at me after I said hello and turned around. The windows were dusty and I walked out since they were taking an eternity and I didn't like the way I was being treated. I didn't try their food so I can't critique it, might give it another chance but I would rather take food on the go than eat inside- I wouldn't pay to be mistreated.

    This was my second visit today. The first time I went, last winter, the service was ok and the food was good. This time the food was awful and the service was worse. I had the snuggery cakes and they were incredibly bland. I've had better at ihop, for God's sake. My boyfriends fruit plate was small and the blueberry were past ripe, while the kiwis were sour and hard. We were there for 2 hours because the service was so slow. Pretty unimpressed.

  • Travis A.

    D&B is a must go if you are new to the area, visiting, or have never ventured to Fox Point. Wonderful atmosphere, cool decour, vibrant and sunny, and delusious food for good prices. What more can you ask for? Highlights from the Menu: Any of the Crepizzas: My personal favorite is the Roasted Tomato & Pesto Any of the Creeps: Fully loaded, definitely not for the light of stomach, flavorful. Truffle Fries: Seasoned just right, not over salted, plenty of wonderful cheese and truffle flavor. PB&B Full Elvis: This thing is everything you want for an afternoon Snack, Breakfast, or Dinner. Trust me. It's killer. The Tower: Comes with a wondeful selection of fresh made scones, sandwiches, and cupcakes stacked on 3 layers accompanied by Tea, Jams and Jellies Any Teas or Hot Chocolate: Giant, Fresh cups. Not a huge fan of the cupcakes here though, going to be honest. Something is off about them to me, but that's just personal taste. Best time to go: Early dinner or Breakfast. Service tends to suffer later at night. They get a bit inattentive

  • Howard R.

    Arrived late Friday evening and greeted by extremely rude hostess with an attitude. Several tables were open or unbussed but still we're told a 25 minute wait. Threatening customers by asking "Do you want me to call the manager?" when asked some basic questions about seating options should never be used with any customer. Demonstrates staff is poorly trained or unqualified to interact with public. Apparently the staff didn't want to serve new customers at 10:30 Friday night. Just a hint, close the door or put up your "Closed" sign. Many other options in Providence to choose from that likely would appreciate your business.

  • Alexa D.

    Pros: Cute, hipster Cons: Long wait, sub par food, rude waiters Maybe I just had a bad experience, but I did not have a good time eating at the Duck & Bunny. For starters, the place is always packed and there aren't enough seats to accommodate everyone waiting for a table. Secondly, I went by myself, so I decided to sit at the bar. I waited an hour for a seat at the bar while people were just siting there, long after eating their food and paying their bill. Still, even though the people were annoying, it was the service that really got me. After I had been waiting for about twenty minutes, the host started a list for seats at the bar. Never was I informed of such list. Anyway, once there was a spot open at the bar, and I took it, I was told that there was a list and I had to wait until it was my turn. To this, I replied that I had gotten here an hour ago. They let me keep my seat. The guy at the bar was nice, and quite good looking. I ordered a latte, and it was disgusting. It had this grainy texture, and my final sip was just sweet flavoring; it was generally not good. My crepe, the D&B Roll, came out quickly. Too quickly. Like, there was no way it was made to order quickly, which bothered me as it was expensive and I was already pissed off. After eating my crepes, which were nothing to write home about, I got a cupcake, hoping it would make my experience better. It didn't. I got the banana Nutella cupcake, and the frosting was so sweet it gave me a headache, and the cake tasted like nothing. I will say, though, the cupcake case being built into the bar was kind of cool, but it didn't make up for the horrible experience I had. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Awesome staff, awesome good, awesome drinks, awesome time. Espresso drinks can sometimes be a little warmer, but they always taste great. Nick was my bartender, very friendly and knowledgeable guy. Will definitely be going back. The set up is pretty interesting but something you should just experience for yourself. The decor might not be for everyone, but you're cheating yourself if you don't go at least once. The menu has many interesting concoctions, many of which are complimented by the equally interesting cocktail menu. D&B gets a lot of attention for their cupcakes, but they have sweet and savory covered. Their crepes are delicious, and they have a good selection of wine/beer. No liquor, but they do deliver to The Point Tavern next door. Also I believe they carry cigars, but I will update this review when I go back and find out more.

    The Duck and Bunny is definitely a cute spot and the waitstaff is friendly. I ate there when I was trying to be gluten free, which probably dampened my experience because the most delectable food items appeared to be of a crepe or pancake-type nature. I had potato latkas, and while I thought they were delicious, they were extremely small and I left still feeling hungry--despite having spent a small fortune. I'd like to go back again and forego the gluten-free hindrance, but only if I'm on a date and someone else is picking up the tab.

    Use to be my family and I favorite place because we use to receive excellent service when we started frequenting this restaurant for brunch. They were kids friendly and very nice. The patio is very nice, quaint and serene with all the foliage. The food was good. But today was such a horrible experience we don't think we will be back. There weren't anyone before us but we had to wait on the host... Then we were sited and forgotten. Although they had a compressed menu for Sunday, when it was time to place our order from this menu they didn't have most items but extra charge was added for the requested substitution. Salt, pepper, had to be requested. My children hot chocolate was ordered before the meals and finally arrived with the salt and pepper... We think we will return to our local trendy places that seem to withstand high demands. We don't mind waiting for good quality food and service. But for what we got today, we will pass. Best wishes on your business.

    This is my new fav place to go for cupcakes, tea, and just girl talk. I will never bring my boyfriend here but I will come back with every single girlfriend I have. It's so cute looking and yummy perfect for catching up. I love the gingersnap tea which is caffeine free. The coffee is also delicious and they have soy milk which is a big plus for me! It's small and I wouldn't come with a big group. I need to try their other food soon. Friday and Saturdays are packed! They are also closed on Mondays which I just learned yesterday. Oh well.

    My friend and I pre-gamed it here dessert-style before heading Downcity for a night out. I had the Maxi banana-nutella cupcake and a latte for under $7.00. The cupcake was perfect: light and flavorful banana cake with a generous Nutella filling and fresh, yummy buttercream icing. My friend had the strawberry-mascarpone crepe, which was fresh and indulgent without being overly sweet. Even on this busy Saturday night, our wait was minimal, the service was prompt and courteous, and the ambiance was charming and delightfully modern, which I did not expect from a tea room. A fancy but un-frilly friend date for around $20.00 AND Nutella was involved...I'll definitely be back.

    Enjoyed a friend's recent bday dinner. This was my first non-cupcake experience. I had the tuna melt crepe - one of the better tuna sandwiches that I've had. It was served with tomato (and I asked they hold the cheese). There was tuna, onion, the essence of pickle and light, light mayo dressing. Delish. We shared the frites ( again hold the cheese) - I will now be putting rosemary on my fries. My friends enjoyed their creeps too - but I was too busy enjoying mine to remember what they ordered. :) My only "complaint" is how cheese heavy all the menu times were. Yes, they left it off - but nearly 90% of the savory items had cheese. Felt like overkill.

    I had high hopes for this place! The place itself is adorable with a nice bar and seating area. I have also heard great things about their garden/patio. I had been here a few years ago and wasn't impressed with the cupcakes but figured it was time to give it another try. We wanted an evening dessert place and the Duck and Bunny really does fit the bill. They put their cupcake list on a chalk board in the seating area and we took a few minutes to look it over after the waitress came by and took our drink orders. We were going to go with cookie dough but they were sold out, okay so then we were going to go with strawberries and cream, they were sold out, the third time the waitress came by we decided to go with honey lavender and, guess what?! Sold out! On the third visit to take our cupcake order the waitress said she should take the cupcake list down but never did. We went with basically all they had left which was a gluten free chocolate, orange, almond, mini red velvet, and mini mocha. There was no mistaking that the almond cupcake was a gluten free cupcake the cake was really bad although the frosting was good. The red velvet mini had dry cake and the mocha pretty much was the best of the batch and that isn't saying much. We should have went with the crepes but, the cupcakes had so much promise! On Friday at 8:30 its really disappointing to see the cupcake selection cleared out.

    Great breakfast food. Attentive service. Expect tight quarters and a lengthy wait on the weekends. We went during the winter months and had to wait inside. The wait might not be as uncomfortable if you going during the warmer months or not at peak time and can wait outside.

    This is one of my wife's favorite places. I stopped by today with my young daughter, and we had a lovely experience. They specialize in a host of creative crepes along with fantastic cupcakes. If we lived down the street I imagine it would be a frequent late night stop, as they also have an extensive tea and drink menu. However, they also have brunch and dinner service. Today I had a monte cristo on French toast, which was tasty; my daughter had French toast with berry maple compote. The food is generally excellent though I prefer to stop for drinks and desert. Providence has tons of great restaurants but this is one of the more creative ones.

    The atmosphere could not be more adorable. I love the little rooms and charming decor. Their tea menu is extensive and I love that all their teas are loose. Things I love: cupcakes, the duck and bunny roll crepe (smoked salmon, capers, spicy mayo), crepicini with mushrooms and a cream sauce, the bananas foster dessert crepe, etc. I pretty much love all the things I have tried. One thing I don't love is how cramped it is inside. The staff members are cool and friendly. I would like to try their brunch sometime.

    My friends and I made it up to RI this past weekend and tried duck and bunny due to its reviews. We sat at the bar since it was a sunday morning and people love them some sunday brunch. It sounds like a smart idea, but not really. It was where they made all the drinks and the waitresses and baristas were really busy and stressed looking, so it kind of changed the atmosphere of which I was trying to have my meal. Too many people walk through with all kinds of cups and stuff, not the best. My friend and I ordered the duck and bunny crepe roll that came out rolled like sushi with smoked salmon and spicy sriracha. It was interesting, but i was really looking forward to just a regular crepe and wished the waitress would have told me when i asked for advise for choosing between two options. I also had the coconut tea latte, which was disappointing as well. It had a teeny hint of coconut at first, but the rest of the time it tasted like a light mocha latte which i did not enjoy. One of my friends also got the blueberry vegan cupcake which he described as, "eh" and thats pretty much how i would describe the whole restaurant, eh.

    This place has fabulous décor and ambiance! You feel like you are cozy at home in this restaurant. The tea is tasty and the food is out of this world! The tea sandwiches are so good and the cupcakes you could keep eating them till there are no more cupcakes left! Great place to go for any meal, to go on a date or just to hangout with friends and family.

    I think most of the food is good and the people that work here are nice. But, it seems impossible to get someone to come over so you can ask for a second drink after waiting FOREVER. They also seem to forget a lot of things like when you ask for a coffee. It makes the experience not so enjoyable. It just really ruins it for you.

    Crowded, over priced, - I expected better. I wanted to be charmed but I was not turned off by the food but the condescending staff as well. I wanted to like the place - I'm still frustrated that I didn't. For dessert we got a variety of expensive cupcakes - they were awful. I ordered a coconut cupcake, my friends got chocolate - they all tasted almost exactly alike. It took days to get the overwhelming taste of sugar and butter out of my mouth. Have never gone back.

    Seriously cute place with great crepes and cupcakes. Definitely coming back for tea sometime. Love that they are open late and do tea all night!

    A year later... the food is still great, the place is as comfortable and as charming as ever... But I'm reminded of why the Duck & Bunny is not a regular go-to spot for me. Because the quality of service is SO inconsistent! You never know what you'll get, and for me that's a real deal breaker.

    We love it here, it's intimate, low lit and cozy..what can be better? This was our first time eating here besides cupcakes and drinks. The food was delish! The truffle fries are a must! It wasn't overly filling, yet plenty of food for the price. The cupcakes I find to be a little dry..the frosting on the cupcake is tastier than the cake itself. The food is better than the cupcakes and the food sure is good.

    Alright. First things first: Duck and Bunny is the freaking place to get breakfast foods. The morning before I proposed to my girlfriend-now-fiance, I brought her here by a recommendation of a close friend. Pretty much, you walk in to a narrow hallway, like you're walking into a person's home then BAM! It's Forever 21 meets Lewis Caroll's Through the Looking Glass all bundled into a quaint bistro-style restaurant. We came on a Sunday around noon and it was packed (I imagine it was the church rush). However, the cozy lobby and friendly staff made the wait feel like we were casually lounging before a hearty breakfast. The debonaire furniture, regal paintings, and candle-filled fireplace made waiting to be seated much more enjoyable than the other Sunday morning diners I've been to. A fine young gentleman by the name of James seated us in the left street-side room. My then-girlfriend was in the corner while I took the chair by the window overlooking the front stoop. While I briefly glanced around the room, I noticed novelty faux-renaissance paintings hung on the walls, and many satisfied customers literally praising this place for surpassing their expectations. As my significant other and I browsed through the menu, we noticed both interesting options explicitly made with fresh local ingredients (D&B list their sources) and considerably low prices (about $5-9 a plate). While she hankered a savory meal, I must admit I wanted something on the sweeter side. Needless to say, we were not disappointed in the poached eggs with hollandaise and Portuguese-French toast with bananas foster. Dude, seriously, these were awesome meals. Low price; super filling; satisfying; overall good breakfast/brunch experience. When James came back around, he asked us if we wanted cupcakes. Yes, cupcakes. And he joked that this was probably the only place he knew of that offered cupcakes after a high-carb breakfast meal, but continued to list the taste bud tempting flavors. I decided on the banana Nutella (continuing with the banana theme), while my woman got her red velvet fix (earlier, she was conflicted, having to choose between red velvet pancakes and the eggs). After we paid, we walked out of there very full and smiling. Thanks Duck and Bunny, she said "yes".

    The Duck and Bunny is always good and always fast. I've only had their deserts and their fries (which are amazing). This place is definitely great for dates! Go here for a snuggling time :)

    Delicious vegan bowl and I'm very appreciative that they have a vegan cupcake! I suggest they carry more than 1 vegan option though. Cute concept but like many places on Wickiden St, very crowded and claustrophobic. Very "studenty" as I'm sure most college aged people would have no objections to the tight seating. I think you'd have no problem going here outside of regular meal times. The parking is a challenge. I think the waiters need to approach people waiting by the front door if they're waiting for seating or instructions. A lumber sexual waiter ( bearded) pretended we didn't exist when we stood there waiting for a table for 10 minutes. He saw us but never approached us or said anything . Fortunately , one of the female staff came up to us and offered us a table. The bartender was excellent .

    Cute place with tasty, eclectic menu that is NOT overpriced. Service is always pleasant... no pretentious wannabe hippies as I assumed before going there....just down to earth regular folks there to serve some delicious food! I love their salad with Brussell sprouts...and i've tried almost all their crepes, and they are consistently good. Oh and their coffees are great too! Watching my sugar intake so I haven't tried their cupcakes yet, which btw look mmmmmm... In short, cute place with good atmosphere and great food at reasonable price.

    We were looking for a place to have my sister-in law's bridal shower... and multiple of our friends recommended the Duck and Bunny. My mom and I met up here one day for cupcakes.... and definitely approved! We reserved the small tea room, which they say fits 15, but it was very cramped. We were able to decorate it nicely, and have enough room for gifts etc. We also took advantage of the beautiful gardens outside. The waitress' and hostess were extremely accommodating, bringing us our food, beverages, and cupcakes in a very timely manner. The food, which was mostly crackers with fruit/jam.. was definitely weird and eclectic... they weren't your typical tea sandwiches... but they were well received. The cupcakes and scones were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend using them as a venue, or just stopping by to experience it. I honestly think the best part about this bakery/breakfast place is the charming atmosphere. It is funky, trendy, but classic at the same time. You feel like you stepped into an old British tea house, but have punk rockers serving you. It truly is interesting and worth going to. I loved the decorations, the music, the old brick, the fireplace... the lights.. the furniture. It felt like a dream, a fairytale, but in real life. On another note, they also serve alcohol and are open until 2-3 am! If I lived near here, I would definitely take advantage of this!! One thing for sure is, going to come back and try their brunch. I have only heard unbelievable things about it and need to experience it for myself.

    Monte Christo and fries, deliciousness! Cupcakes are ok but wouldn't recommend going for them. Instead this is the perfect spot for a quick bite or a drink. Very cute, cozy, quaint. I love it

    I can't blame the service... my waiter was fine, but the kitchen needs to pick up the pace. We waited 40 minutes for pancakes (which were delicious). Don't come here if you want a meal and to be satiated. The portions are tiny and the prices are high. The space is cramped, and the whole experience drags. Food that is on the plate is tasty, but I've probably had my only D&B experience. There are tastier options with better atmospheres in Providence that are far more worth your time and $.

  • Alison G.

    By far one of my favorite places in Providence. If I could make their cupcakes part of every one of my meals and not gain 100lbs, I totally would. Their Reese's pieces is to die for. The service is ALWAYS fantastic. The serves always greet you with a big smile and ask you how you're doing. It is super cozy inside and the outside patio is fantastic when it's warm out. Totally recommend coming here for a good meal, sweets, and awesome service.

  • B J.

    We come here when we are in town. It's a quaint, cozy nook specializing in cupcakes, but we usually come for brunch and coffee/tea. The eggs benedict is served over rosemary focaccia or potato pancakes, which is a superb spin from a standard english muffin. The ambiance is artsy comfort meets a Victorian; a nice space needless to say. It can get packed so come early or put your name down and dart around Wickenden St while you are waiting.

  • Charlie H.

    The best restaurant in Rhode Island. A must stop for visitors to Providence and a repeat for locals. Excellent wait staff that are truly interested in your dining experience. Best for brunch and an late night dessert/ drink while out on a date. The New York system omelette is a brunch requirement. The scones and a drink outside in the back will cap off any date night perfectly.

  • Katink S.

    I love this place! It has the best brunch I've had in RI. The ingredients are fresh and delicious! Today I had the savory Portuguese bread pudding Benny. It came with the hollandaise sauce on the side just in case you don't want to french your meal. I recommend drenching it as their sauce is awesome and pretty light. Ben got the florentine Benedict on a potato pancake and said it was the best Benedict he's ever had. I'm pretty sure he ordered the same thing last time we were here. Also got 4 cupcakes but have yet to taste them. The decor is also super cute! They call themselves a snuggery: a cozy and comfortable restaurant. Love it! The only downfall is the wait can be pretty long but that's just cuz the food is awesome!

  • Jenny C.

    Amazing brunch and drinks!! The space is small and a little cramped, but that's the only negative about this cute little restaurant in Fox Point, Providence. Their menu is long and varied which lots of great options - I couldn't decide what to get! Ended up getting the latkes and a honey latte and both were amazing. Their food is like an art here!

  • Danae K.

    I love this place! Whether for brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks, they have you covered! I had their salmon crepes which were good, and their brocoli cheddar soup which was delicious! Always ask for the specials since they get very creative! (Particularly on weekends!) Definitely add wine to your meal, and get cupcakes on your way out! Try to sit outside, and they will provide blankets if it gets chilly.. I have always been a fan of their brunch but the wait gets long and sitting at the bar isn't great...

  • Abby C.

    This place is so cute! I came here for brunch on a Sunday in June with a friend. There was a definite wait for the setting outside in the backyard, so we opted for indoor seating as the air conditioning was adequate. I ordered the portuguese sweet bread french toast with bananas. It was delicious, even with what looked like too much syrup. It was very filling. My friend had the rachel and monica (one of her favorites!) crepe. She's hooked. If you want to have a swanky brunch I would come here. Perfect feel and decor for a fancy brunch!

    I've been a big fan of The Duck & Bunny for years! I love their cupcakes so much that I served them at my wedding!!! This is a very cozy spot to grab a small bite and a cocktail or something sweet to cap off the night. They have a great selection of teas and I think the little personal tea pots that they come in are just the cutest thing ever! Because this spot is so small it can fill up quickly, but I've never had a very long wait for a table. A cool and intimate place to take a date, but I wouldn't really suggest it for a large group due to it's small size.

  • Lauryn P.

    I love the Duck and Bunny. If you're looking for a one of a kind place, this is it. Nestled in an old home on Wickenden street, the D&B is super 'cosy' inside. The layout is that of a house, with different rooms which I really like. My favorite is the bar area and the surrounding seats, with the cushions and pillows. A perfect place to enjoy a cupcake and drink by the fireplace. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, I have never encountered a problem. Be forewarned, there can be a lengthy wait some nights (usually weekends) and they do run out of cupcakes quickly, depending what time of night you go. I personally love the Pommes Frites and any of their wine cocktails (only Beer and Wine here). The cupcakes are great, I wish they had more gluten free options though. But when I could eat them, my favorites were the banana nutella, red velvet and chocolate cheesecake, all to die for.

  • Sarah F.

    I would like to apologize to the bartender for being such an inconvenience to her the entire time. We had to ask repeatedly for water, the bill and when I politely inquired about the state of our order after waiting for about a half hour, she was very rude. The drinks are all very sweet and based on Prosecco. Crepes are good but nothing groundbreaking. Maybe overpriced? I think you are are paying for the cute ambiance more than the food. I have to say that I have tried to like their cupcakes, but they just seem dry and not that flavorful. Overall, kind of a lackluster experience for such a cute looking place.

    A+ for their gluten free cupcakes!! This is highly recommended during winter time. Place is cozy though small and most of the time is packed! They have healthy menu options.

    Interestingly enough, I worked at this location when it was a different restaurant. It was incredible to see the transformation when it went to the Duck and Bunny. So cute and cozy, and how can you go wrong with cupcakes and beer? They have a light menu, consisting mostly of crepes, tea sandwiches, and small plates. This is the perfect place to go for lunch or to get tasty cupcakes to go.

  • Yana R.

    The decor is super cute and very eclectic. Nice place to go for a date. I wish there was a larger crepe selection. I kind of expected more options, but there is only like ...four or so. But they had a huge selection of cupcakes and other desserts.

  • Stephanie A.

    I went to The Duck and Bunny with my mother for brunch on a Sunday morning, and this was a much better experience than the last time I went. We were seated in the main area (nearer the "bar" seating area). My mother ordered the salmon crepe, and I got one filled with mushroom. My mother's salmon crepe was rolled and cut just like sushi -- it was very aesthetically pleasing and tasted great (coming from me who doesn't like fish). We also ordered the fruit plate since all the dishes were fairly small. My only qualm was the slower service, but to be fair, it was pretty packed. I will be visiting the Duck and Bunny for brunch again because of this positive experience.

    To be fair, the food here is mediocre and overpriced but it's so cute that it's worth the trip. Go just to admire the adorable paintings and the eclectic collection of couches and chairs. Good for a lazy brunch or afternoon tea with friends. I also love a few specific flavors of their cupcakes - espresso and carrot are my faves, and it's fun to go late at night to chill at the cupcake bar. It's my favorite snuggery. (guess how many snuggeries I've ventured to...)

    Incredibly cute little place! I have dined here twice for dessert and had a great experience both times! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for an after dinner drink or dessert. You won't be disappointed!

    I heard rumors of a quirky, warm, fuzzy little quaint restaurant on Wickenden Street in 2010 when I was still in college. Supposedly they had amazing cupcakes and called their bear "brewhaha". It all seemed so silly and wonderful and too good to be true. But on my 21st birthday I went there with some friends, and sure enough we were wowed by the blend of comfort and class. I sat on a wonderfully gaudy leather chair next to a fireplace with my friends all around me in one of their three rooms (they've also got a back patio that is AMAZING in the summer). Someone told them it was my birthday and after double-checking my ID, the owner made me one of their signature drinks, the Lava Lamb, for free! 1/2 Magners hard cider, 1/2 Guinness, with a floater of Framboise Lambic. Needless to say, I was sold on the place before I had one of the amazing cupcakes. The Red Velvet or Carrot Cake are my go-to, but they also have delicious seasonal choices like the Pumpkin Marscepone in the Fall. Yummm! The food is quirky and varied; heavy on the crepes and pretty rich. If you're planning on eating here for dinner then be prepared for that. The brunch is also some of the best in the city. My favorite thing on the menu is the PBH&B (or something like that) which has Peanut Butter, sliced Banana, and Honey on a portuguese sweet roll. Yeah, it's really sweet. It's also one of the best things you'll ever eat. Admittedly, with a BYOB sushi place just a few doors down, it's hard to convince myself to get dinner at the Duck & Bunny, but it is by far the best place in the entire city if you're looking to pop in for a good drink and/or delicious dessert. You can also do High Tea if you're looking to get all British and fancy. D&B is an experience that every Providence diner needs to have at LEAST once, and the best part about it is that you'll come back time and time again because it is just that good.

  • Izzie C.

    I really loved duck and bunny! It is such a cute little shop and is perfect for high tea or just a cupcake on the go! I came with my parents for brunch during my stay in Rhode Island, and we were very happy here! My dad and I shared two crepes, one with goat cheese, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes, and another with roast beef, onion, tomato, cheddar, and a horseradish cream. They were both very good! My mom got the French toast which she really enjoyed as well! The cupcakes are a MUST HAVE! They were superb! I got a banana nutella cupcake that was out of this world fantastic, and my parents got their s'mores cupcake which they said was the best cupcake ever! Loved coming here, and wish there was one near me so I could eat there all the time!

    I suppose that I'll start with the service.... I don't consider myself hard to please at all (although I do appreciate good service) but I can report, unequivocally, that each and every time that I've visited The Duck and Bunny, the service has been downright horrid. The drinks are ~meh~ at best and candidly, I enjoy cupcakes from Stop and Shop or Whole Foods better than the dry, oddly flavored fare served here. The decor is cozy but it's nowhere near enough to overcome this establishment's deep shortcomings.

  • Nicholas A.

    Very enjoyable visit back in November. Cute and cozy atmosphere (which I suppose some might see as "crowded"). I liked the community type tea room with bar and the transformation of an older home into the space. Sampled both savory and sweet options - savory on the crepe and two different cupcakes of the day.

  • Sean R.

    What a find! Roommate brought me here for my bday brunch so cute wicked small but that's okay. Forced me to chat up ladies next to me. I'm sure there are tons of reviews about cupcakes so I shall talk about the potato pancakes (latkes) they were delicious. The apple topping. Scrumptious and the wild blueberry tea. To die for. Must go in PVD

    (5)

  • Asa B.

    The food is wonderful. The eggs bunniduck on latkies is about the best Benedict style thing in town. Everything is wonderful. Their tea is about 2nd notch, but still pretty good (i'm picky). It's great that they do a high tea. My review is based entirely on the food and price. The place is charming. Service is sometimes not up to par, and they usually run a half hour wait for breakfast.

    The atmosphere mixed with an amazing staff makes the Duck and Bunny an amazing combo. They have amazing mixed drinks. With an outstanding selection of desserts. If you get a chance try the Monte Cristo.

    Have been here once (late night) previously and it was pretty crowded and noisy. But the food was so amazingly delicious that I had to come back at a quieter time. I was the only patron at 3pm on a rainy raw chilly Tuesday afternoon, so I snuggled into a comfy corner table. I ordered the grilled pear and strawberry goat cheese on greens salad, with a thick tangy balsamic dressing. Very tasty. Deciding to have a solo fat kid party, I ordered the bananas fosters ice cream crepe and a decaf caramel latte. Oh my. Truly heavenly. Full fat, full sugar, not at all healthy, but fully delicious. The sweet crepes are definitely big enough for 2 or 3 people to share. Very sweet, bring your sweet tooth and insulin pen if you have a sweet crepe. Perfectly crafted latte too, just the right amount of foam and perfectly temp'ed. Yummy. Total bill for salad, sweet crepe and latte was $26, including tax. Friendly, attentive, professional, (and cute!) staff. Food came out as ordered and pretty quick too. Restaurant is very clean and soft oldies music playing in the background. Finding parking on Wickenden St. is kind of a bitch, try the side streets. D&B is worth a little walk, you'll definitely need to burn off the extra calories. Not an everyday kind of place (too expensive, too decadent) but great for occasional date nights or treating yourself.

  • Jessica E.

    One of my most favorite little spots in Providence! I always bring out of town guests here, and they are always impressed. I've been here for brunch, dinner, and late night snacks, and the food and is always spot on. My personal favorite is the creperito. They always have tons of cupcake options, and they have all been delicious, from what I've tried. The place is very small, and it does get crowded, but always worth the wait. I think if they expanded, it would lose some of its charm. This is the girly-girl's dream place.. a cute little pink house, teas, cupcakes, chandeliers, pretty decor. Love the atmosphere and the whole experience you get when going here! Side note: They also play great oldies music!

  • Jordan M.

    Note: DID NOT try any of the crepes or cupcakes, which they are apparently known for. But we did try the Guinness Float with Coffee Syrup and Vanilla Ice-Cream. A MUST if you're a fan of stouts, coffee, ice-cream, or life. We did try the Truffle Fries, but the truffles sadly took a backseat to the overpowering salt. We tried numerous other cocktails but the other one that stood out was their Mojito which they used mint from their garden. Writing this review, it made me realize how much ambiance and service really plays into an overall experience. We were already full from eating at the Cambodian restaurant down the street, but the service here was really attentive, informative, and friendly. The ambiance was quaint and cozy, like you've step through the looking glass. Last words: A MUST is the Guinness Float with Coffee Syrup and Vanilla Ice-Cream. Going to try and recreate it, but will probably get hammered in the process though all the anticipated failures. It has very unique setting and concept and has great service. Would definitely re-visit this restaurant if I am to go back to Providence again to try the food.

  • Marissa B.

    I have been here several times and I do love the place and the food is normally pretty good. Unfortunately I dont always think the service is up to par. A couple years ago I went in late on a weekend for a cupcake with my boyfriend and encountered the rudest server EVER. She literally gave me a cupcake that was rock solid it was so stale (and ive worked at bakeries before so believe me i know how stale that was). I inquired about getting a different cupcake telling the server i physically couldn't eat it even if i wanted to. She said that it was supposed to be like that and proceeded to eat it at the bar in front of me. The woman was really disrespectful. I like this place because it is unique but they would really benefit from hiring nicer people.

  • Charlie C.

    This place was fun; very crowded in waiting and seating, but delicious none the less. And the decor felt very much like a cozy tea house but also had all the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant or bar. I wished our teas and salad had a bit more flavor, but our dishes were good and I would suggest the Portuguese French Toast and any cupcake! I would also recommend to go during restaurant week if you are going to indulge in a full meal because it can be pricy, but not prohibitively so.. The staff were very accommodating to my allergies as well. I also will try going again, possibly during a less busy time.

  • Aaron R.

    The word that comes to mind here is "overrated", and I say that carefully. The D&B gets ridiculously great reviews all the time. That's part of the problem. It's so popular that it's become a "hip" place to go, and it's so tiny that it means long, long waits most days at most times. Not a comfortable wait, either - you're kinda pushed into the available nooks and crannies, often standing, usually moving out of the way of waitstaff or coming/going patrons. Plus the tables are kinda small and you're kinda shoved into every possible inch of space in there. There's a reason it's called a "snuggery"...it's quite snug. :) Now I will say the food is quite good. I had their MonteCristo with Portuguese sweet bread for "french toast" and it was done perfectly satisfactorily. The home fries were a little different but that wasn't unexpected and is wholly in character, plus they were tasty. My iced mocha drink was delicious. The cupcakes selection was already kinda decimated that day so we passed and got a dessert crepe instead (Sweet Baby James, I think it's called) which I totally mistook Sweet Vanilla *Mascarpone* for Marizpan instead...my bad, I'll own that. But for a "sweet" crepe it wasn't actually very sweet. Eh, it certainly wasn't bad. I enjoyed my half. And that's kind of the point. The service was good and friendly (and quite quick, too...takes a while to be seated but your food comes out right on time) and the cooking/taste of the food was perfectly satisfactory. But I wouldn't say it's at all good enough to justify all the hype surrounding this place. On that note, I wouldn't QUITE say it was good enough to justify the prices either, which are medium-high. Three coffee drinks, two apps, two brunch entrees and a desert crepe was $62. Not outrageous by any stretch, but you're paying a premium for the ambiance. Or as I like to call it, you're paying the "hipster tax". :) Really I think this comes down to personal preference. If you're a fan of this kind of ambiance and style of eatery...then you're willing to pay slightly higher prices and "pay" in longer wait times, and you'll have a perfectly enjoyable time. If you're not, you'll probably want to pass. There's other solid options for desert, brunch and coffee all within a block or two of Wickenden St.

    I enjoy the Duck & Bunny. It has a very chic vibe and the cupcakes are really good. Besides, I'm happy any time that I can get a pot of good tea. I give it only three stars for a few reasons. First, the cupcakes are good but not fantastic and for the price they charge I expect better. Second, the seating is so cramped that I'm always uncomfortable if we're there in the evening after dinner (I enjoy this place so much more on off times). Finally, it can be slow when they're busy. For me, the Duck & Bunny is good when I can hit it on a slow night. I need to go back and try the drinks (which my son tells me are really good) and the food, not just the cupcakes. Stay tuned.

    Date night. Definitely not going to watch a game there, but let me tell you, there is no one coming close to serving up peanut butter and fluff sandwich that is not only good, but I can order without the - well there is no other way to order it. So much to try, but again, however you meet up with others, this is a fun time with couples, late night and even outdoors during the summer months.

    My wife and I went here for cupcakes -- which, from what we'd heard, were a house speciality. Alas, it had apparently just been hit by a cupcake shortage, and we had to make do with a small variety plate of pre-chosen cupcakes instead of the ones that had intrigued us on the menu. The rooms are small -- snug is the kind word for them -- I would say cramped; it's like being in smallish rooms in someone's house. The service was slow, and we had a hard time locating our waiter when it was time to pay and go. Our little meal also turned out to be rather more expensive than we'd realized. All in all, a not terribly satisfying experience, though perhaps at a less crowded hour it might have been more pleasant.

    I went to Duck and Bunny for an early dinner with my sister on a weeknight. She had been telling me about this 'snuggery' for ages, and I was very excited to try it. It definitely lived up to my high expectations. The space is very small, and feels like somebody's house. We sat in the bar room, which is very cute - a little like Alice's Tea Cup in NYC but with all white decor. I ordered the Duck & Bunny roll, which is a crepe filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese. It came rolled and sliced like a sushi roll, with a spicy mayo dip on the side. The salmon was very flavorful, and although the dish was not huge, it was plenty for me. My sister ordered the butternut squash crepioli, which is basically ravioli but with a crepe dough. It looked like pancakes when it came out. The flavor was very good, but there was a little too much sauce and it was a little on the sweet side. We split a funfetti cupcake and a chocolate/salted caramel cupcake for dessert, with small cups of hot chocolate. The cupcakes themselves were very good, but the frosting was just heavenly. It was very light and fluffy, almost melt-in-your-mouth. At this point, I was on a big sugar overload so I didn't have room for the hot chocolate, but the few sips I had were good. All in all, a really great spot with very good food. I will be back.

    Tea party!!!! This is the cutest and most elegant little cafe-like restaurant that I been to. Very cozy and great for date and hangout. Foods here tasted awesome. Since they were busy we got the prefixe menu so the selection was limited. Even so the available food choices all sounded awesome. I got the Thomas Henry Crepes with ham and let me tell u when I'm done with it, my tummy was still asking for more! Totally satisfy with this place. My tummy is only getting big for this wonderful gem.

    This is a great spot on the east side. It's set in a home and has the best cupcakes! I came here for desert and was very pleased!

    Was looking forward to trying Duck & Bunny and finally got a chance after a rare dinner out with hubby. After dinner we skipped dessert and headed over to Wickenden. He wanted something sweet and I was more in the mood for another drink. This place was perfect. He had a coffee and cupcake and I had a glass of wine. We sat at the little bar and after a brief period of confusion - they were just coming off a rush - we got some really friendly service. The bartender was super friendly and we had a good time people watching. The only negative was every time someone came in they left the door open and it was freezing! This might become our new after dinner ritual.

    The Duck and Bunny is about as cute and cozy as it gets in Providence. Whether the occasion is a date night, a catch-up brunch, or just a cupcake craving, this is an ideal choice. It's a small joint, though, so be prepared to wait if you come at a busy time. However, the size is what makes the place: it keeps it small, charming, and intimate. I've been here for brunch, tea, and post-dinner drinks, and it's always hit the spot. They're known for their cupcakes, with Portuguese Sweetbread being my favourite. In terms of drinks, I rather enjoy the Lava Lambp, which is a cocktail of Guinness and Magner's. Their mulled wine is also decidedly excellent, especially in this brutal winter. No matter what time of the day it is, you'll probably be able to satisfy your pangs here.

    Wow, really great brunch and flexible with the order. Asked them to make the goat cheese, spinach and sundered tomato crepe as an omelet, no problem; and really good. Wife had the tea service and Portuguese Sweetbread Pudding. She couldn't not finish both. Kids had the pancakes with Bacon and Chocolate Chips (with the Bacon in the pancakes) with real Maple syrup, couldn't be finished. Presentation of everything was great, average service. Nice price for the food quality, we will definitely be going back again.

    Had the cupcakes here, and I thought they were pretty subpar...I was expecting something ridiculously good because that's what they're known for, but they came out dry and unappetizing (with limited selection, too!). I'd go for the candy bar or Nutella + bread at the nearby convenience store. Came here on a Friday night, and there were barely any selection of cupcakes left. In addition to the ones we got (red velvet, chocolate mocha, and vegan chocolate + berries), there was only chocolate peanut butter cup and cinnamon walnut(?). Wanted to try chocolate peanut butter cup but they took out the last 2 just a few seconds before we were about to order! Boooo =/. When we tried the cupcakes, we just thought the cake was pretty dry, and the frosting wasn't all too much helpful - they didn't taste artificial (like grocery store cupcakes) which was good, but they weren't memorable either. Red velvet was by far the best out of the mix! Was definitely more flavorful than the other two. For the chocolate mocha, the flavoring is a bit light (especially the frosting), and it left me wanting more oomph. For the vegan chocolate, I was expecting more especially since the outside layer was glossy looking, but it was pretty bland.

    It considers itself a "snuggery" and it really does not fail to make you feel comfortable. Went here a few months ago with a few friends and fell in love. Very cute place, their decor is something that really grabs your attention with many copies of famous paintings that have been taken an edited so there is a duck and bunny in each painting (quite clever in my opinion). Service was friendly and attentive. For a lunch, I got the truffled pommes frites which were addicting and were served in an adorable flower pot. I also split this tea for two type lunch special that I no longer am seeing on their online menu although they may have them in store. It came with 5 finger sandwiches of which my friend and I got the cucumber with herb spread which was very fresh and tasty. It also came with 2 scones, 2 cupcakes, an array of jams, 2 cookies, and a pot of tea. Everything was very good and the food was presented very nicely. Definitely a place I'll be going back to!

    This place has some seriously good food. Their brunch is just amazing. I had their poached eggs on potato pancakes, and my life changed. (For the better of course). Try Duck and Bunny, and live. Side note- you're almost expected to order cupcakes after you leave. I have a sweet-tooth, and this place let's me embrace it. Thank you Duck and Bunny.

    Had the California rolls and a savory crepe. Pretty good food. Also had some of their tea which was great. I would stop here again not for the meal but for the tea and to try some of their desserts.

  • Nicole W.

    if this place weren't so cute I'd probably give it one less star- because the food is just not great! Quaint cottage decor and warm atmosphere set the stage for an amazing dining experience- but the food didn't deliver. To start I had the bacon wrapped dates (crispy and flavorful) with a Monte Cristo sandwich (essentially two pieces of French Toast with ham and cheese- not memorable). Two cupcakes for dessert (Mocha and Tiramisu) which tasted good but nothing to write home about! The waitress and the restaurant are so cute but they gotta kick up the food a notch! All the ingredients of a perfect little restaurant without the proper execution.

    We had our daughter's birthday party here -- five adults and seven 6-year-olds took over the tea room for afterschool tea. It was totally seamless and lovely. The food, ambiance, and service (yay for Paula!) was perfect. I don't like cupcakes much and am gluten-free, but I tried the gluten-free cupcake to be festive and it was damn good. I love that the girls had a great time and the grown-ups got to have a glass of wine (the roh-zay was fabulous!) and pretty much relax. I will admit, when we walked in at 3pm on Friday and they said our table wasn't ready I was a bit perturbed. I'd made the reservation 10 days before and was nervous about keeping the kiddos corralled, particularly in such a small space. But it was fine. They recovered quickly and it was all smooth sailing after that. The experience was definitely laid back -- so if you want some place that's going to cater to your every party-planning need, this probably isn't the place! but if you want something nice, memorable, and yummy without a lot of fuss, I can't think of a better spot than this sweet little snuggery.

    We went to the Duck and Bunny for brunch this morning and I was pleasantly surprised. Usually, the type of restaurant that serves afternoon tea wouldn't be right up my ally, however I'm glad I didn't put up a fight when Duck and Bunny was selected. The house is intimate and has really interesting art, which are all recreations complete with ducks and bunnys superimposed. I got the Thomas crepe which was a new experience for me as I've never had a crepe with meat in it. It was excellent. My girlfriend got perfect poached eggs that she loved. The cupcake I had for desert was just the right size for brunch, peanut buttery and chocolatey deliciousness.

  • Amelia S.

    I want to like this place, I really do. It is beyond me why they run out of cupcakes at 9 pm (OR EARLIER!) every single weekend and do nothing to mitigate the situation. Are they aware that they are losing revenue when this happens? It's seriously beyond me. With that being said, the ambiance is adorable for a girls night and the cupcakes are great if you can get them. Highly recommend the red velvet. The wait staff could care less about being there - in fact I bet that they sell out of cupcakes on purpose to get everyone out of there. But again, the decor makes up for this hidden gem.

  • Tania S.

    I love this place. Great food, interesting drink menu, the cupcakes are delicious, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting. In the summer, they have a backyard patio that looks like a mini garden retreat (complete with string lights that hang from above). The wait for seating can be a bit long (as it is a small place and seating is limited) but it is worth the wait.

  • Cat R.

    This little whimsical, cozy place has become our go-to spot in providence. Not many vegan options but they do have a vegan bowl with rice, beans, greens, etc. not bad. Crepes are delicious, interesting combinations for both meals and desserts...also they are not too thin. There is so much crepe variety you really can't go wrong here unless youre craving seafood which they don't have much of. The bunny bleu salad is delicious (spinach, walnuts, apple, blue cheese) as well as the creperito ( a burrito but a crepe wrap), strawberry dessert crepe, truffle and mushroom crepe, PIZZA crepe, etc. All solid choices. The draft beer options are limited but they had dogfish head on tap one time so i was happy. They don't serve hard alcohol (only beer and wine) so the cocktails aren't too strong but they are creative. Sitting near their fireplace is so cozy so its nice on cold days when we can get a seat there.

    The Duck and Bunny is wonderful for food! The drinks are a little pricey and the service is a little slow, but the food makes everything worth it. It is a cozy little place that we stumbled upon and fell in love with their food. I highly recommend a stop here if you are in Providence. We've been a few times now, once with a large group and a few times with just two people. The time we went with a group, we noticed that it's not well set for a large group but if you have a group of 4 or less, this is definitely a place to go.

    One of my favorite places that I came to when I visited Providence. The interior is cute with a vintage-feeling. They have a big selection for coffee and drinks. This place is known for their crepes. It was extremely delicious, by the way. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating to their guests. The waitress we had went out of her way to surprise my friend with a birthday cupcake! Lovely place. I will return!

    Unique and imaginative menu with terrific presentation (get the hot chocolate--the foam is shaped into both a duck & bunny). Not to mention the atmosphere lives up to a "snuggary." This a great place if you're looking for somewhere "different," for a date, to impress someone, and to go with a group.

  • bit a.

    Wow. there is so much creativity and artistry in the both the food and the business. I went with crepes both savory and sweet the Mrs. went with the afternoon tea. It hit all the marks and with all the little bonuses. this is 5 star quality stuff except had to remove one star because of the earl grey. it was either stored at this location (or perhaps its suppliers) in proximity to Russian smoked tea. It picked up the distinct flavors. We informed the staff hopefully they will address it or take it up with their supplier. We had such a great time and the food over all was well above par. will repeat and will give them another shot with the tea again.

    I met up with a group of friends for dinner on 6/24/14. This was probably my 4th time at this restaurant, but the 1st time for dinner with a larger party (group of 9). As usual, the food was great. I had the Umbrian, which was a nice combination of flavors. Unfortunately our waitress was incredibly rude. When she came to take our order, she was obviously annoyed when we were not ready. When she came back a second time, I was about to ask her advice to help me decide between two options. Before I had the opportunity, she snapped at me, saying she'd come back when everyone was ready, and went off in a huff. It was an awkward and uncomfortable experience for everyone at our table. Some of us had also asked for pastries to go. We asked 3 times for these before she brought them to our table. When she finally did bring these items, she placed them in front of the wrong person, with no explanation (this person had also ordered something to go, but was picking it up at the counter, so we assumed this was her order). Our waitress appeared annoyed that we did not realize that she brought them to our table. She gestured toward the boxes near our friend, saying, "I already brought them out. They're over there." There were several other instances where it was obvious that she just could not be bothered with us. I realize larger parties can be cumbersome for waitstaff. That being said, any server with minimal customer service skills should be able to manage a party of 9 on a sleepy tuesday night! Prior to this dinner I was considering reserving this restaurant for a large private party. After this experience and after reading some similar reviews, I'm definitely looking elsewhere! Nice food and decor; however nothing can compensate for rude behavior!

    I've been here a few times, food is good but the service and experience is great. I don't know a lot about wine or cheese and they are always on point with their recommendations. I love the close quarters and house-like feel of the place. Great place for a date night or a delicious cupcake or crepe. I have not been on the patio but i would like to sit outside with a big cigar and glass of red.

  • Kate D.

    After being rained out at an outdoor event, I was happy to find a "snuggery". I've never quite heard of or been to a snuggery but I'm glad I discovered this place. Upon walking in, I see an old Victorian transformed into an adorable dainty wine and cupcake bar. Who knew these existed? While I had already had lunch and just stopped by for a snack, I loved seeing all the creative food nearby (crepe roll anyone?) I thoroughly enjoyed my wine and red velvet cupcake and look forward to returning again to try many more things.

    (5)

  • Lizzy M.

    I like this place. Drinks are a tad pricey, but there is a back patio for outdoor summer eating and drinking. The pub itself is dark mahogany wood and the kind of place you could be for hours, chatting with friends. Bartenders were nice - haven't tried the food.

  • anastasia c.

    Came here for dessert after having hibachi. My friends raved about this place so I thought I'd give it a try. Basically, this is an adult version of dessert heaven. The cupcake bar has a light, they have drinks, coffee/espress, and full-leaf tea. The service is absolutely awesome and very friendly. It's a great little place to go for a first date if maybe you wanted to get something small or even great as a place for after dinner somewhere else.

    Super shabby chic explosion all over this place...boas lining the walls, white and pink crystal chandeliers. I was sitting in a little "box" which perfectly fit my head (this is impossible to explain, I realize), but if I moved out of the way of it I was basically on top of my friend and then if I sat in the head-box-thing then I was far away, and if I sat next to it, the back of it poked me in the back. Awkward. Food was good (I got the mexican crepe burrito) and truffled home fries (not the best). However, they'll make a latte out of any type of tea, the cupcakes were delicious (my friends and I tried nutella/banana, Portuguese sweet bread pudding cupcake- AMAZING, carrot cake, funfetti, almond joy and red velvet.) I also had an egg nog latte which was really just putting me over the edge in terms of fatness, but it was worth every calorie. I'll go back and try their drinks/cocktails....so many interesting combinations: tons of cocktails with beer and Magners and french raspberry lambic and Guinness, so strange, yet intriguing.

  • Katherine C.

    Duck and Bunny is famous for its cupcakes but the rest of the food and drinks are great too. My favorite crepe is the Monica & Rachel. The vegan, or gluten-free or whatever (bowl advertised at the bottom of the food menu) is amazing! When a restaurant has its one super-healthy dish I usually stay clear. That day I was trying to eat especially healthy so I tried it. Unbelievable! My friend tried it and love it too. Then to balance the healthiness I had champagne in a can. Seriously. Champagne in a can. I had to have it because it's...well...champagne in a can! Then the rest of their champagne dishes, sadly no can, are also fantastic. I'm not a fan of overly sweet or overly girly drinks and they have plenty of not so sweet drinks. As for overly girly...you're in a restaurant that caters tea parties for little girls, when in Rome...

    I have a love hate relationship with D&B. I love the cozy little place, the decor and in the summer the outdoor patio is a nice retreat. Their brunch is lovely and their crepes are wonderful - with both sweet and savory choices. They also get points for originality. I had to try the hot wiener crepe on a recent visit. Yes, it was good but one of those things you can only try once. Ever. On a recent visit, their homemade tomato soup was the perfect thing to warm me on a cold winter day. Their honey latte is so good. House brewed coffee, steamed milk and honey to sweeten. But I just don't love their cupcakes. I've tried them on at least 4 different occasions and they are sub-par. Dry, old and not satisfying. And their service, while pleasant and all, is so damn slow from the waitresses to the food service. Slow, slow, slooooow. Oh D&B, how you tease me so.

    This review is in regard to Bridget and her awesome baking creations!! We decided to do cupcakes for our wedding and someone recommended The Duck and Bunny. We set up an appointment with them and they were very accommodating and let us try a bunch of different types of cupcakes. If you have never had a D&B cupcake, do yourself a favor and get over there. They are out of this world!! I'm not a big sweets person, but I CRAVE these cupcakes. The staff was very helpful and Bridget, the cupcake master, came out and asked us what other flavors we wanted to try. She set up a second tasting with us and specially made us the cupcakes we requested. My 2 favorites were Banana Nutella and Canoli. My husband loved the peanut butter and mocha flavors. They helped us pick a nice variety of cupcakes and delivered them to the venue on the morning of our special day. They were not only delicious, but also beautiful and everybody raved about them! I would 100% recommend working with the lovely people at Duck & Bunny and we plan on stopping there for desert on our 1 year anniversary celebration!

    We went to the Duck and Bunny for dinner. The white decor made me feel like I was going to a childhood tea party in some tripped out dream. I was further confused in that the speakers were playing grunge music. The combination of the two seemed a bit odd. The bar area was pretty busy, but we did not have anyone sitting to the right or left of us. The place is small and cozy, but it wasn't really our scene. We ordered two crepe pizzas. They portions were large (too much for one person) and had a lot of flavor. My husband didn't like that the onions on his pizza were nearly raw, but I liked it. We enjoyed our food overall and the service was great (contrary to some other reviewers, we had a very attentive waiter).

    This place is very overrated. I've had some of the worst cocktails ever here, including a completely undrinkable watery Sangria with dried out orange chunks (which is pretty easy to make) and the food is mediocre (at best) for the price. They try to get mileage out of their cutesy aesthetic, but if the food and drinks are bad, I won't be back.

    Stopped in yesterday for some hot chocolate and the Angelina crepe. Good hot chocolate, about the same level as Seven Stars. I like my liquid chocolate a bit on the dark side though and that is hard to find. I lean more towards Pastiche/Al Forno for this. The crepe was good if you like the bitter lemon, blueberry, not so sweetened cheese type stuff. It was good but I didn't realize it was not a very sweet crepe so I would probably stick with the nutella banana. The mini red velvet cupcake is good too. I love the music they play in here, from the 50's. Doesnt get any cuter than this. My waitress was very nice. Her name escapes me but she had long dark hair. Overall a good experience 02/25- taking a star off for customer service. I contacted them with some questions about ordering a birthday cake and no one bothered to get back to me. I will take my business elsewhere

    I mean really? This place is just adorable. I can't get over first impressions, and when we walked into what looked like someone's home in the South, I was immediately in love. We started with that incredible drink they called the Lava lamp. I think. Anyways it had hard cider, Guinness and Raspberry syrup. This drink was one of the best I've ever had. Like EVER. Paired with the salted caramel chocolate cupcake, and the hot chocolate cupcake, this was the best afternoon snack I think I have ever had. Again, like EVER. The woman near us had the Monte Cristo French toast, and I think I would have given up one of my cats for a bite of it. The cheese plate and the eggs benedict all looked amazing. So yummy. Really so yummy. Eli better bring me here for real food next time. I'm just saying.

    Feminine, petite, and pretty are what comes to mind when I think of the decor. White/milk glass looking chandeliers hang delicately. Unique, adorable seating inside and seasonal outside patio dinning. A lovely place to have tea. The menu is light with choices like crepes, salads, tea sandwiches, and cupcakes. I have tried many items and all are delightful and tasty. The tea selections are wonderful, love the large pot of the sencha tea. I liked the strawberry sassafras tea so much I bought a small can of the loose tea leaves for home. The service is good but often very busy and remember it isn't a large establishment. Now on to the cupcakes! Scrumptious! In my family we all have our favs, carrot cake & buttermilk honey lavender are mine! The red velvet, dark chocolate salted caramel, & double chocolate vegan with berries are my families favs too. Don't forget the cakes are divine. Brandy (the baker) is very accommodating when it comes to cakes and is helpful with any ideas. Omg, the buttermilk cake with nutella filling! So amazing! I've ordered for birthdays or special events. Alright, I noticed when I stopped in the other day to pick up a cake they have new cupcakes I haven't tried, oh my how I love the mini cupcakes for just this reason!

    I'm going to handicap this with a disclaimer because I'd already had a bottle of wine at Sakura and was hammered by the time the wife talked me into the patio of the D&B. So you've been warned. In a blurry, drunken nutshell: Snuggery: nice concept. Love the patio. Drinks: White sangria was bland and not memorable at all. Became progressively more disgusting as the ice melted . Didn't finish it. Food: the strawberry sundae is a dessert feat beyond all comprehension. Strawberries, ice cream, deep fried crepe, choco-sauce. Tasty. Decadent. Over the top. Not recommended when you've been drinking all night long. Be smart and share it with a loved one. Don't make a goddamn pig of yourself like I did. Bathrooms: they need another one, because the dishwasher was in there dropping a deuce every time I needed it. Attractive lavatory, but it's right next to the kitchen and the patio entrance, so it makes for a seriously awkward wait as you're stuck right in the servers' traffic. Service: Meh. Friendly. She was busy. Check took forever to drop, but I suppose that they intentionally don't rush you at a snuggery. Cost: Yoikes! Final verdict: insufferably cute with some peculiarities. I'd be down to try actual dinner here. Maybe next time I'll go in sober.

    This is by far the cutest place in Providence. It's in a small space but with a lot of charm. There's a short hallway with a lounge area at the end and two small rooms on both sides. The food is delicious and the cupcakes are amazing.

    If I could give 3.5 stars, this would get it- the key word at Duck & Bunny is "darling" (also note, it's an ampersand, not the word 'and' in their name- to give you an idea how conspicuously twee we are here). It is the perfect place for all the college students and 20somethings to take their parents or each other on cutesy dates. So what's my issue? I like them, but I want them to be so much more, to try harder and be the best at what they're trying to do, not just to be happy as the backdrop to an endless mill of Anthropologie fodder. So what it boils down to is complacency. I feel like the quality and service is inconsistent. Most of the time their crepes are tasty, and their coffee and teas are nice too. But of everything, what makes this place 2nd tier on my places to go in the evening? Two things: 1) You never know if you're going to get a hipper-than-thou (and typically younger, less attuned) server, or someone who can do their job reliably and well. But apart from the wobbly service, 2) The cupcakes. Ehhhhhh.... ok, some of them are killer good and some of them, well, I could do better at home. But the thing is, cupcakes are their thing! I know D&B is capitalizing on froufy cupcakery, and so what? Sh*t's tasty! But if they're your thing, why don't you bring your A-game to ALL your cupcakes? Because when you do, boom, homeruns always! I know someone there has had training. I know the purveyors know how sublime cupcakes in NYC are. Why aren't they reaching harder? Why isn't the buttercream silky ALWAYS? Why aren't the proportions more balanced frosting/filling/cake proportion-wise? Make sure ALL your cupcakes measure up to high standards, not just the regular cupcakes but the experiments too! And make sure they're not stale! When D&B has it together, they kill. But more often than not, I just feel them haphazardly phoning it in.

    A true snuggery, you will get close and cozy with your neighbors at this little gem.

    Ok so let me just say I was dying to go here, however I was ever so disappointed! I mean it's a cute little place! Service is O.K. and the wait was very short for a friday night. However this little hide away was very medicore given the hype. Honestly went there for some cocktails and cupcakes but found out they run out!!! Given it was almost the end of the night..i guess i could understand but..seriously it's a "snuggery". You go for comfort food. I don't understand how a place who boosts about the cupcakes they sell, doesn't have enough to go around. My friend and I ended up with the last chocolate cupcake and it was horrible. The cupcake was so terribly dry and the frosting was much too sweet. I think it tasted like a boxed cake cooked too long. The drinks were expensive and none too impressive. Not to mention we ended up waiting FOREVER for our 2nd drink. I will say however the server made sure our cute little water glasses stayed full (its a dying service). The place is very small but I think that might be the point. We did share N.Y. system style crapes, they were yummy. So I guess that was the best thing about this place. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Too small to sit and just read a book and enjoy a tea as it would be very loud..too expensive to be worth it.

    Let's just say that it has the ambiance of a snuggery, but the service of a funeral home.

    Another place I had been dying to try but waited an eternity to get to. First off it is one of the most adorable places I've ever stepped foot in. The staff is friendly and lots of fun to interact with, they answer all of your questions including what is in every single amazing cupcake they serve. Prices are fair and everything is delish. I would very much like to give lots of my money to The Duck and Bunny.

    Adorable, Darling, Magnificent. This place is a true gem! Went here for Breakfast before heading out to the Mansions for a fun filled Christmas day with my favorite ladies. What a perfect start to the day. It was an early Saturday morning and there were snow flurries outside. Can I say perfect, again? We all ordered off the brunch menu and got espresso drinks. Everything was delicious! I loved the atmosphere of this place so much. You felt like you were at someone's house. Very, very cozy. If I lived in RI, I would frequent this place very often. More places need to be like this, for sure! Duck and Bunny, 5 stars all the way!

    My friend Allison and I went to experience Duck and Bunny for the first time with our friend Josh, who gave many high recommendations for this restaurant. We went around 3:00pm for a late lunch/early dinner. The hostess that sat us was very friendly and welcoming and dressed appropriately. However once we were seated, their was a long wait for our waiter before he came over to take our order. He didn't not introduce himself or tell us any specials of the day. He was awkward in his approach at the table and made us feel a little uncomfortable. We recommend that the servers work on their approach to the customers by introducing themselves, making them feel comfortable, informing the daily specials-dessert or drinks, and to not rush when taking the order. The ambiance inside the restaurant was similar to walking back in time into an old English Victorian Home. On the patio, it was cool and relaxing; however, needed a good sweeping. While outside, we were unaware of the specials being on the chalk board until after we were placing our order and the server told us that it was not properly updated. Allison and I went inside to look at the cupcakes and realized we couldn't find where the cupcake case was until we asked and found it in the bar area. We recommend that since the restaurant says they are known for the cupcakes, they should change/update their cupcake show case to make it more visible. The person who was at the bar gave a great description on each cupcake explaining what kind it was. Our server was confusing when I asked him to describe a cupcake for us. I definitely didn't like that you could see into the kitchen because there was only a curtain to separate the dining room from the kitchen. Not to mention the fact that it wasn't super clean. A door would make the kitchen more professional looking. If it wasn't for our friend bringing us to try the restaurant, we probably would not have gone there because there is not a lot of publicity or ads about the restaurant. It seems to have a lot of customers that pass it on through word of mouth. They do a good job keeping their Facebook up to date by updating pictures and a few specials. Their Website is very informative but a little confusing how to guide through it. The entrance was the most confusing part of it all. It was not very clear to whether you go upstairs or go straight. The front hallway looked boring and outdated until you continued to walk further into the entrance. My friends and I also noticed that it is not handicap accessible. Making it easier for any kind of handicap accessibility can make it easier for anyone to go and enjoy the restaurant. Overall, we had a good experience. The food was good and we enjoyed the inventiveness of using crepes in a pasta form for the bolognese. The Wyatt-Reuben was creative and different. The cupcake we tried was moist and flavorful.

    Don't know why it is so overrated but their service is real slow. It took exactly 45 minutes to bring out one entree.. The second arrived after 10 minutes. Thought after taking this long, the food was probably fresh and good but left us so disappointed because the ham wasn't fresh and so with the vegetables. Never going to this place again!

    I need all of you to know that this is a place we needed in Fox Point. Small, cozy, clever, classy and the music is right on. Where can you have a relaxed and delicious dining experience while listen to Jimi Hendrix and eating noodles made from crepes. Come on, if you haven't explored their menu yet let me assist you. Me and my mom love this place. The T.S. Geller is a great first impression, its made up of prime roast beef with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, tasty greens and horseradish sauce. My moms favorite has got to be the Wyatt-Reuben it has turkey, mozzarella, spinach and a cranberry drizzle on top. Its almost like Thanksgiving in a weird tasty way. We always get a few cupcakes. Strawberries and cream and the raspberry lemonade are definitely top two but the cupcakes change daily so it's a great way to always try something new. I am never disappointed with a crepe that doesn't get soggy and doesn't fill you to the point of feeling like you should loosen the belt. You can sit inside with the beautiful creative furnishing or take it all outside and dine under the stars. The back patio is really nice because you almost forget you are right on Wickenden Street in the city. Nothing like a hidden oasis after a long day. Have a drink and cigar, just veg. I will return again and again for this atmosphere and FOOD. Yes please.

    Thanks to a fellow Yelper, I found this "Snuggery;" this place is fabulous (...like "more motivation to move from Metro-West to East-Prov" fabulous!). It was Sunday, it was brunch time, it was phenomenal. *Setting: I felt like I was Alice at a tea party in a Crepe Wonderland. The bistro is set in an old Victorian house which has been remodeled to highlight unique nooks and crannies of the former residence. In one room: a bright pink chandelier and white high back chairs, in another, cushy white leather banquet and small granite table tops. AND: Tea in the garden, anyone? yes. There is a small outdoor seating area - this is where I plan to dine the ext time I visit D&B. *Order: the French Toast (with bananas Foster), and the "Thomas Henry" (crepe filled with bacon, scrambled egg & fontina cheese) coupled with tea and chai (though, there were delightful cocktail pairing suggestions listed on the menu). My mouth was watering just looking at the menu - this was a good sign. French Toast was sweet and juicy in a creamy banana sauce, the crepe was the best savory crepe I've ever had (and truly the best way to eat your "breakfast sandwich"); the fontina cheese was a perfect addition to the egg and bacon. The prices: actually not bad when considering *great service (SUPER nice staff), *great atmosphere, *great ingredients and great flavor. *On our way out - we see the board with cupcake selections and make the critical decision to order a porta via: cupcakes. YES!-even after crepes....cupcakes! We ordered four to-go (at 2$ a piece): Banana Nutella, Peaches and Cream (with Lambic in the frosting), Red Velvet, and Mint Chocolate Brownie. My favorite was the Peach, though the banana IN the Banana Nutella frosting was heaven. Most unfortunately, the cakes seemed to be lacking the cake/moisture levels I prefer. To say that I am eagerly anticipating my return to this self-proclaimed snuggery is a drastic understatement. I will return. I will take tea in the garden. There will be crepes.

    A number of times I was asked to pick up cupcakes here for birthdays but never have I had the chance to sit and enjoy the amazing smelling food, that is until this past weekend. We stopped in for brunch as the entry way was crowded with people leaving giving us hope there might be a table for us. After a bit of a wait, which was very reasonable considering it was a Saturday prime brunching hour, we were seated. I do wish there was a bit more space in the waiting area because you always feel like you are in the way no matter where you stand. By the time we were seated our rumbling stomachs had already perused the menu and decided on a feast of delicious options. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who had a sense of humor that really added to the experience. While we laughed and enjoyed our coffee and tea we were able to relax and chat to catch up. Before we knew it the food was coming out to us and we were digging in! My friend ordered a Monte Christo which was by her standards phenomenal. I ordered pancakes with bananas and chocolate chips which were quite delicious. I did however note some of the inside being a bit too runny while the outside was a bit charred. Not enough of a notice to ruin the meal but definitely distracted me for a moment. We very much enjoyed our meal while becoming filled to the brim ready to take on a shopping adventure. Since it was my friend's birthday, I "forced" some cupcakes to go and were were on our way. Overall a good experience but I wish there was a tiny bit more room as the waitstaff kept bumping things and knocking things over (not that I blame them because my clumsy self would have taken entire tables out in the limited space). I would definitely return for brunch or a quiet afternoon tea.

    Dudes, bring you girl here. You can't go wrong, they will love the decor and the drinks and atmosphere and their crapes are incredibly good, so you can take something out of it, too. Again, your girl will love it, bring her here.

    The atmosphere in Duck & Bunny is probably my favorite part of my experience. Aaaaaand the cupcakes. The décor inside and outside of Duck & Bunny is something you want to bottle up and bring home with you. Everything is chic and charming! The food and drinks are good too, I don't specifically remember what I had for brunch...I got a Rosewater-infused brunch cocktail that wasn't really for me, but they gladly exchanged it for me. Duck & Bunny is a treat! When the weather is nice you can sit out on the back patio and soak up the sun.

    This place is so unacceptably inconsistent. There are bartenders/baristas/servers that are incredible, and other who make you feel like the scum of the earth. There are treats that will dazzle, and other that make you scratch your head wondering "how could they cost that so high?". This place needs to be knocked off its pedestal; after living across the street for a year I'm tired of disappointing my friends, being treated like shit by unenthused servers and ordering menu items that fall short of adequate. After getting a moldy cupcake, I'm glad to be moving closer to better places in PVD.

    This place is just adorable. I recently went to celebrate a friend's birthday. We all got brunch; a various assortment of crepes, potatoes, latkes, and sparkling beverages. The crepes were very good, although I felt the $10+ price was a bit steep (pretty much the only reason they don't get 5 stars in my book). We sat outside mostly because it was super busy, but I would definitely go back sometime when the weather is cooler and try and sit inside since it looks so cozy. We finished our meal with their cupcakes, and I have to say the Honey Lavender cupcake I got was sooooo goood! Like I said, they tend to be a bit pricey, so I feel they are more of a special occasion place (birthdays, catching up with an old friend, etc.). I will definitely be back though.

    One of my doctors recommended this restaurant a few months ago, and it's my mom's favorite spot in Providence now. The menu is mostly crepes and cupcakes, with a few exceptions. Crepe highlights: The Distinguished Lincoln (the mustard sauce is so yummy), the Miss Harriet (brie and pears...always good), and the Duck and Bunny Roll (basically crepe sushi....delicious!). Cupcake highlights: Honey lavender, banana nutella, and carrot cake. Definitely try the chamomile vanilla bean tea. It tastes like a cupcake! I had to buy a tin to take home. The decor is adorable, and my boyfriend loved the Big Lebowski reference in the bathroom. Everyone working there is very genuine and friendly. No complaints here!

    Had a lovely light lunch here with a friend a few weeks ago. I had an apple and brie sandwich, he had eggs Benedict- both were prepared with finesse and served by an attentive staff. We loved the atmosphere of the Duck and Bunny. it was comfortably hip, great coffee choices, great location in a very up and coming part of town, with potential for a lot more growth. The Duck and Bunny really stands out among its competition for offering a unique menu with a unique atmosphere. We need more places like this in our community!

  • Kirun S.

    I love the Duck and Bunny. It's incredibly bourgeois and twee and would be completely insufferable if a) the food weren't so brilliant, and b) the staff weren't so great. The cupcakes range, given the day, from "good" to "excellent." The scones, though....the scones. They come with almond butter and jam. They're transcendent. I love them. If the staff were all terrible people, I'd *still* probably go there a bit, just for the scones. However, ALL the food I've tasted there is excellent. Go. Give them your money.

  • Becky F.

    For all the hype I have heard about the D&B, I'm a little bummed out. Don't get me wrong -- I would definitely go back since the vibe is cozy and you just feel safe and like the world is a prettier place when you are in there. However, my actual tea, food, and cupcake experience was pretty mediocre. Stopped in on a Sunday around 1/1:30pm for brunch with a friend and we were lucky to snag two seats at the bar. The front room is tight with seating for maybe 8 at the bar, 2-3 small tables for 2 and a larger nook for groups (there was a family of 5 on this particular day). There is also a second little room which we quickly peeked in to, but of course it was already full. Feels like a cramped but airy (lots of light colors in the main room) Victorian parlor. There is a fireplace which they actually use in the winter too which is a neat touch. The service was okay. Every now and again things would get pretty busy (it was a full house and there were people just popping in to get cupcakes to go), and the staff were trying their hardest to keep up with the demand. That said, it took a while for us to be able to place our orders and also get our check. Our tea came out quickly. I had the Pomegranate Pear which was a beautiful rich pink color but sort of lacked any pear flavoring. My friend had the Coconut Truffle tea which was amazing! It tasted like a delicious dessert in a cup. I would absolutely order this tea myself the next time. I had the Mazzy Star (crepe) which was full of portobello mushrooms and fontina cheese and accented with rosemary and truffle oil. It came with a very small little side salad which was fine. The crepe itself, however, almost felt a little too greasy. My friend ordered some brunch special which was good, but sort of skimpy on the hollandaise sauce which was the main reason he had ordered it. To finish the meal, clearly there was going to be a cupcake. The flavors of the day are listed on a blackboard and the cupcakes themselves are situated in a great little display case that serves double duty as part of the bar top. D&B offers both mini and regular size cupcakes. We opted for the Honey Lavendar cupcake. The cake itself tasted a teensy bit like honey and it seemed like some had been drizzled on top prior to being iced, but we didn't get too much of either flavor. The soft purple frosting was light but didn't taste much different than any other sweet frosting. Sprinkle placement was almost comical. There were maybe six sprinkles all gathered on one side. Was that intentional? Like I said, I will go back at some point in the hopes of finding the awesome experience I have heard so much about from friends!

    If I would ever have to recommend one place to go when visiting Providence RI it would have to be Duck & Bunny. From the first time me and my boyfriend went there for our first date to now brining friends and associates alike to convert them to the wonders of Duck & Bunny I'm never disappointed or left feeling like something is missing. The decorum and atmosphere is just as the word "snuggery" entitles it's warm and cozy. The waitstaff is more then charming and helpful when it comes to navigating the menu to deserts to pick from. If there is only one last thing I would say is you gotta go if you've never been.

    This place is my HEAVEN. An afternoon tea room with a bar that serves coffee, cocktails, and CUPCAKES, a cozy little dining room that serves delicious crepes AND a garden in the back to enjoy your sangria al fresco! What more could you want? The cocktails and cupcakes are amazing. We tried different flavor mini cupcakes and I loved all of them. For drinks, we had the Caleigh and the Chamisa, and the owner gave us the Lavalamnp on the house. They were all unique and delicious. I could not recommend this place more!

    My boyfriend was a bit reluctant to go to a tea house called The Duck and Bunny, but he very quickly changed his opinions. It's as unique and charming as the rest of Wickenden. Our cheese plate was amazing! We didn't want it to end. Portions were rather larger than we had expected, but that just meant more to bring home. We were dying to have cupcakes but there was no room left in our stomachs. I did however bring a half dozen assorted cupcakes to my father for Christmas and he raved about them. If you have the chance, I strongly recommend the stop.

    Came during a birthday weekend retreat with my fiancee. Did brunch here. Decent wait, as expected. Only gripe is our waitress almost made us feel like we were being rushed initially. She ended up not rushing as much near the end of our dining experience. It was odd, to say the least. Would def go back, nevertheless.

    A smaller place located in Fox Point in Providence, RI offers a great selection for Brunch. Great decor, white couches and a flair a class, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. For brunch, we ordered The Thomas Henry, which was egg, your choice of bacon or ham and fontina cheese wrapped in a delicious crepe. Also, an order of the latkes was had as well, topped with fresh applesauce. Needless to say, this place was fantastic. If you find yourself in the Providence area, check it out. If you do eat there, save room for the cupcakes. With choices like Red Velvet, Banana Nutella and Lemon/Lime (just to name a few), you gotta give them a go. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent food.

    This is a really cute place. Went there on a Saturday afternoon with the wife and enjoyed a leisurely late lunch outside on the back patio. I had a fancy cocktail and a Mexican crepe that was really good, my wife enjoyed her Eggs Benedict, and for dessert we shared a cupcake. Two things stopped it from being a five-star review: 1. The cupcakes are...just all right. I'm spoiled by Crumbs cupcakes (they have a bunch of stores in NYC) so these just taste like regular ole' cupcakes to me. They're not terrible, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. 2. They allow dogs to chill on the patio which is cute, but when you're trying to eat and one of them is relieving himself in front of you it's not very cute. I would love to come back at night one of these days and hang on the patio as the food/drinks were good, service was great, and I like to chill...:)

    Duck and Bunny is delicious and the prices are very reasonable, but if you go on a weekend, be prepared for a long wait. We arrived at 1:15 on a Sunday and waited 20 minutes for seats at the bar. There was a long line and even after we were seated, we had to wait thirty more minutes to order food. The restaurant is small so the wait staff was very busy and the service was slow. The food, however, is wonderful! I got the Mazzy Star (crepe with mushrooms, fontaine cheese and truffle oil) and it was delicious! The mushrooms were perfectly cooked and the truffle oil was a great touch. My friend ordered a creperito (a burrito in crepe form) and devoured it. Overall we were very satisfied with the portion sizes and taste. We finished off by splitting a red velvet cupcake (which, based on size, could easily be eaten by one person). The creamcheese frosting was a tad heavy but still yummy. The staff at Duck and Bunny is friendly and there's a cozy atmosphere. We chatted to everyone else siting at the bar and had a great afternoon. I recommend it for lunch or a fun dinner with friends!

    Two words: Old cupcakes Cupcakes are what this place is supposed to be known for. I've been twice and they've been stale and dry both times. Not the worst thing in the world but the 2nd time around they also gave all 3 of us that partook stomach aches. I won't be going back OR trying any more of their products!

    I love your food, Duck and Bunny...but get better seating! From eye level up, the place does look like a "snuggery"....cute wallpaper and lights. The tables though are marble if I remember right, the floor is likewise a hard surface (not wood) and the chairs are uncomfortable metal. Not really cozy or comfy, though I imagine in the summer if they have AC people might love it then. The times I have been there I have had to watch out for either knocking myself on the corner of one of these heavy tables, or running into waiters, as it is rather "snug" in terms of space. I think with some cozy old wood chairs (maybe with cushions?) or antique button-back chairs, and some friendlier tables, this place would fit the atmosphere it is going for. It is really the type of seating that I am deducing a star for, because it does detract from the comfort of eating there. They do seem to have a middle room with some velvety chairs, that is painted a rather dark color, but I think that is designated for parties. On to the food. It is delicious! I have had the pomme frites and two different types of crepes. Once I tried a mini cupcake, and it was decent, but it was the frites and the crepes that really stuck in my memory. I also like that they have suggested pairings if you are looking for an alcoholic pairing instead of coffee, tea, or water, though I think I just got coffee. I hope to go back again sometime, when the weather is fair enough that the seating won't be too chilly, and at a time when they don't have lines. Try it!

    This fun little place was bustling when my friend and I arrived. The food was really nice - I had a not-too-big crepe with portobello mushroom, fontina, and truffle oil (with an itty bitty salad on the side), followed by a reasonably-sized piece of pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream and some jasmine green tea. Service was friendly, and rather attentive. Next time, I'm trying (a) cupcake(s)...

    The Duck and Bunny: a surreal Alice-in-Wonderland-like café, cum restaurant, cum Victorian-style drawing room... I'm unsure what to make of this place but I'm digging it. On my two visits so far, I've tried their espresso drinks (good), cupcakes (yum, a house specialty), and a fantastic nutella-banana crêpe (splash of brandy woefully missing). I'm looking forward to giving their wine-food pairings a go: nearly every dish - and their brunch menu looks extensive and original - comes accompanied by a suggested alcoholic sidekick. The layout of the place is utterly bewildering, so have patience. Nicknamed a "snuggery" it initially feels more like a maze, but once you've found your niche you understand. Small tables, elbow-to-elbow seating, crowded bar (agoraphobes steer clear on weekends!) And with the white-lace curtains, the cozy mantle-piece and the white cushion head-boards installed on the walls over white leather benches, it's like sharing breakfast in a grand bed with perfect strangers...

    So I finally got to try two of the things about the D&B that I had been dying to check out since I first started going there, the garden patio and the crepes. I must say that I was pretty impressed with both. The patio was adorable and the perfect way to spend one of the last evenings of the Summer. I loved sipping my Guinness as the sun set and the stars began to twinkle in the sky. It did get a little dark, as the lighting wasn't too bright out there, but I actually dug it. If I get to go there again before it gets too chilly, I would love to sit in the comfy chairs with the lanterns. So cute. The other thing you must try at the D&B is the crepes. My father and his girlfriend were in town, and because of how unique of a place the D&B is, I had to take them there for breakfast. We first ordered our coffees, which were very good, and refilled at a decent pace. It took us forever to all decide on which crepes we wanted to share, but after twenty minutes were able to decide on the Rachel and Monica (sun dried tomato , spinach, and goat cheese), the Thomas Henry (egg, bacon, and cheese), The Angelina (Blueberry Blini, Des Nuages cheese, raspberry chocolate, lemon zest), the Sweet Baby James (Strawberry & Sweet Vanilla Mascarpone Blintz), and my dad's girlfriend ordered the finger sandwiches. Holy smokes, were all of the crepes (and finger sandwiches) delicious. Each one was scrumptious in it's own, unique way. The savory crepes were filling and mouth watering-ly good. The sweet crepes were delicate, sweet but not overpoweringly so, and had such outstanding flavor. The only thing that I still find to be a bit lacking about the D&B is the service. I don't know what it is about the servers there, but they seem to be a bit aloof and almost snobbish. They are never outright rude or slow, or anything in particular, but the service is never really great either. Other than that, I find the Duck and Bunny to be one of those really great places to hang out and also to take guests when you want to show them somewhere out of the ordinary.

    The atmosphere is very chic and welcoming to both men and women at this 'snuggery'. Yummy cupcakes and drinks, a great after dinner hang out.

    I went to the duck and Bunny on a Friday night after a ladies night dinner. We had a sweet tooth and a craving for a good beverage. The ambiance at the D&B is stellar. It's cute, cozy and stylish. BUT the cupcakes were terrible. I don't know if they had a bad batch that day, but my first cupcake, the lavender and honey, came back very dry and tasteless. I took two bites of that cupcake, and in order to give the place the benefit of the doubt (and satisfy my sweet tooth!) I ordered a second cupcake, Banana/Nutella, which was also VERY dry. I was very very very disappointed. I've heard great things about their crepes, and the drinks were very good, but I was less than impressed during my experience at the D&B.

    Ha, it is times like when you venture back into your old stomping ground and realize why you maybe have gained a couple of pounds in your life. Having the Duck & Bunny within walking distance from my last apartment was a deadly but wonderful experience in my life. Cupcakes on demand....yes please. And that is only the start. Once again, I am always just blown away by the atmosphere. It really is cozy and cute. I love sitting on the cupcake bar side the best or if warm, in the garden. The crepes are awesome, I still heart the Wyatt and was so happy to see it still on the menu. If you are up for an appetizer, do yourself a favor and get the Cheese Toasts. Locally toasted bread with yummy Narragansett cheese and fresh tomatoes are the best starter here! I also like this place because of the full range of teas. It is nice to have solid beverage options that don't revovle around booze. My liver greatly appreciated it. I just really miss this place alot, it is a dime a dozen.

    I love heading to the Duck and Bunny with a few friends. The interior decor is awesome - both cozy and modern at the same time. They have a great wine list, some tasty savory crepes and other food, and, of course, an incredible cupcake selection. They even have a wheat free cupcake (orange-chocolate with traditional icing). Always a lot of interesting people in the joint, and it stays open "late" (I haven't gotten used to the normal 11-12 pm closing time in Fox Point yet). Watch out if you plan on going with more than a group of 4 in the winter - the space is tiny and often full! However, the patio is beautiful, spacious, and dog friendly.

    This place was really cute. I had two pots of tea and my girlfriends had wine or cappuccino. The girls got a cheese toast and said it was fabulous. We were there pretty late so they had sold out of the cupcakes we wanted but that's ok. The atmosphere is adorable. The only things I didn't love were in the bathroom. There's something hanging from the ceiling that is very low and I almost hit my head a couple times and there is a vent directly over the toilet that was caked in dust. Over all a great experience though!

    WOW WOW WOW! I'm in love with everything about this place! The inside decor is chic, but cozy, and comfortable. The outdoor seating in the back garden, glowing with candlelight and lanterns, and mini fountains is ultra romantic (men you want to make a good impression on a first date take her here!). The cocktails and cupcakes are creative and yummy, the service is good , and they have local craft beers- Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!

    Have I not written a review of D&B? For shame! With a pretty robust menu of salads, sandwiches, crepes and more, there is plenty to choose from. I tend to stay within my favored Duck & Bunny tasty zone - fantastic cocktails (the Bubbly Mary, for example, is awesome. It tastes like a bloody mary, except with no vodka) and truffle fries (I mean - what part of french fries + truffle oil + light sprinkling of cheese doesn't sound great?). Aside from the food, their space is cute. it can feel cozy (read: cramped) when there are huge groups, but I happen to think that works well during the winter. In the summer, the huge outdoor deck is both unexpected and awesome. From the photos on their site, I expected a weenie three seated patio. Instead I was greeted with a charming backyard space, complete with good-for-groups bench areas that looked quite comfortable and less 'formal' than tables. On the less positive side - I don't love love their cupcakes. Blasphemy, I know, but I find them to be a little too sweet. Similarly, while I always seem to find something that I want, I did bring a friend who was not as open minded...she just wanted bread, for example, and was a little annoyed that they don't offer that option. Their finger foods are also slightly expensive even when shared among groups. Lastly, any place called a 'snuggery' will attract a certain type of client. The first time I went, for example, there was a gaggle of girls (yes - a gaggle!) celebrating a birthday. My hubs and I were trying to have a romantic date night and the shrieking was a little distracting. Every other time, though, it's been relatively quiet and relaxing.

    Cute but weird little place. It's like it can't tell what it wants to be. It serves tea and scones, which are traditionally English. Then there's the crepes, which are French. And don't forget the pomme frites, which are Belgian. Anyway, I had the ham, gruyere, and candy mustard crepe, which was SO good and the pomme frites (aka truffle fries) which were pretty tasty as well. The prices are a bit lofty and there are some cool pictures and some creepy pictures in the dining room. The cupcake selection was wide, but I didn't get the opportunity to sample. Anyway, top our visit off with a James Franco sighting, and the roommie and I had a great time! I want to go back to try the scones and jam. I miss afternoon tea time.

    When this place first opened I really enjoyed going - but as time has gone on I am more and more disappointed. Many times you go and they are having a "function" meaning no place to sit. This has happened to me 4 times now. I went a few weeks ago when my niece came to Providence, and I thought she would enjoy the restaurant. We were seated quickly, but after that the service was almost nonexistent. We ordered our food and after about 30 minutes we got our appetizer. Another couple came in and had their lunch in 10 minutes. When we asked the waiter he made some excuse that the computer wasn't sending orders back. The place wasn't that busy and he could have easily seen we had been waiting had he bothered to check. I enjoy the food, but not the best I've had, cupcakes seem stale many times. Not sure if I will return - bad service isn't what I'm looking for. We each got a free cupcake for our wait (over 2 hours there) - not sure that was worth it!

    3.5 stars, solidly. We had Sunday brunch here and agreed to sit at the high-top near the back of the house. This was a mistake. For more than half the meal, the back door was wide open on a blustery day. My honey latte (which didn't have enough honey) cooled immediately, and I shivered throughout the meal. When I asked the waitress to shut the door, she did. It was opened no more than seven minutes later, and she explained that it was the chef. Well, I was a pastry chef and understand it gets hot, but you deal with it: You don't make your customers suffer. This really took away from the meal and "snuggery" vibe. However, our crepes were fantastic. I also tried a cranberry scone but was disappointed that it did not come with Devonshire cream as promised. If you can get a table far away from the kitchen, do: This is a cute brunch spot.

    Cutest cupcakerie around! Delightful flavors - and a full bar! There is a great assortment of teas, and you get your own large teapot. This is a place that you can literally spend hours in laughing with friends. It does get quite busy - especially in the colder months, but in the spring they open up their back yard. It is so precious and perfect for a late night sweet and drink. My favorite flavor is the banana cupcake with nutella frosting :) yum!

    I've only been here once for a bachelorette party, but I wasn't too fond of the cupcakes and it wasn't really the place for that sort of group. Great idea and great ambiance. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it was just a small group or just myself and another person

    I'm really sad to give this place three stars. We had a big party here about a year ago and it was great. I went in this week to buy some merchandise, didn't sit down to eat anything. The salt and pepper guy with glasses behind the bar couldn't have been more unhappy to be there. He barely said 5 words to me the whole time and made me feel pretty unwelcome. I only tipped because I recognized a waiter who was on as someone who had been great before. If you don't want to deal with people I feel like you're in the wrong industry.

    Over the top levels of preciousness, you might even say twee to a fault. Crepe based foodstuffs are pretty good, but nothing to write home about. I have never really understood the whole gourmet cupcake thing; is it just for rich women who suck at baking to feel special? Pretty much got a very self congratulatory vibe from everyone else working or eating there for being cool enough to be there. Cheese plate decent, but not too much variety on it, is a cheese plate curated? is that the word? it could have been curated better. Also fucking tiny and cramped so you need to hear the 'tentiousness of other people's conversations; cool bro I went to liberal arts school too.

    I usually don't write reviews that are this low, I wanted to give the Duck and Bunny a higher one, but I see that they have ignored the comments to fix their service. On the plus side the coffee was strong, the tea was good, the menu had a wonderful variety. My husband and I did enjoy our meals . . . when they came. Now, the negatives were a bit too hard to ignore. We sat down at 12:40pm. By 1:40 pm we had no silverware, no napkins, just 3/4 empty water glasses and our coffee/tea. I watched a different waitress come over to another table to drop our meals off- very confused that the people at the neighboring table DIDN'T order the crepe my husband was waiting for. A very nice manager came over after we watched our meals be delivered to someone else to apologize and tell us "the drinks are on me." She never did convey that to our server, who while very pleasant and somewhat attentive, was too overworked to actually come by and find out that detail. Now that brings me to the next major negative. There is a fine line between cozy and cramped. The table was too small to fit our meals and drinks so I managed to spill my tea. In the process of cleaning up, the staff was helpful enough to get a rag . . . but not to replace our napkins. Yes, these are small points. Taken together, though, they really make me sour on the whole experience. I will give the Duck and Bunny another chance. I wouldn't NOT recommend it, the food and selection are too good. I can't say the service was all out awful, just scattered, disjointed and pretty inattentive.

    The yummy food and wonderful ambiance made for a wonderful birthday brunch with my gal pals. The spotty service kept me from giving D&B five stars. We all enjoyed our delish crepes however the latkes got mixed reviews from our table. And what's not to love about a pink can of Blanc de Blancs? The service could have been a lot more attentive, especially for the first part of our visit. We had a different server take over our table near the end of our visit and she was great. We could have lingered for hours in the garden but alas, Mother Nature had other ideas.

    A place specializing in cupcakes, coffee, and beer? Helloooo Holy Trinity. The first thing that I love about this place is that during the day (or a Tuesday night) it's a good place to go for a cup of coffee to read or get work done while having a great cup of coffee (or a Guinness). It's also a killer place for Girls Night Out, a first date, an anniversary, a book club, etc. While some men (whoarenotintouchwithfeminineside) might shiver at the decor (white! pretty! teacups!), it maintains a sleek feel while still being delightfully shabby chic. Check out the bathroom. The management has some tips for ya ;-). Service is good--I've chatted with the owners (an adorable married couple whose lifelong dream was to open a snugger) on multiple occasions, and they're committed to the vision. It's a cool, much-needed addition to Wickenden Street. I've tried the cupcakes and the crepes, and definitely no complaints here. No hard booze, but when you can have lava lamp cocktails, who really cares? Open early and open late, so pick your poison.

  • Emily P.

    I love this place! I had actually never even heard of it (sad since I work right on wickenden street) but a friend of mine lives right around the corner and stops in frequently so I knew I had to check it out! I love love love love LOVE the atmosphere. Snuggery is a great term, and its exactly that. Comfy, cozy, and even when it is busy it seems so personal. I have been a few times now, and am always pleased with the cupcakes. They are STELLAR. Also, the lava lamp (on the drinks menu) is fantastic and warms you right up. I've only eaten actual dinner there once, and had the bolognese "pasta" dish that they make out of crepe noodles. I was in love. such an ecclectic idea and taste. Duck and Bunny has definitely added to my sweet tooth!

    Went here for a first date, and couldn't of been better (wish I could say the same about the actual date) but that's another story! I love the quaint, cozy atmosphere at the Duck and Bunny. Had the charcuterie meat board which was really good! Felt like a princess while sitting on an old victorian chair. Service was on point, and everyone was in a great mood and friendly. Took a brief tour in the back and there's a romantic garden with lots of flowers. Next time I return, I will try the cupcakes, heard their the best around! Will definitely come here again with the right person! Lol

    My good friend, the lovely and elite Jay, brought me to the Duck + Bunny after rave reviews and I was anything but disappointed. This place is adorable! So quaint and cute. The tea was delicious (I ordered the caffeine-free pomegranate pear) and the cupcakes (mini red velvet) were to die for!! The prices were very reasonable. I cannot wait to recommend this place to friends. And to visit it much more often : )

    I went here for the first time yesterday and I have to say, I am a fan. My friends and I split the afternoon tea, which consists of one pot of tea to share, and a platter of assorted delights, including tea sandwiches, miniature cupcakes, cookies, and a large scone to split. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The "nibbles" filled me right up! My favorites were the tuna tea sandwich and the cranberry scone. (The espresso cupcake frosting was also to-die-for.) Both the English Breakfast and Pomegranate Pear teas we tried were also delicious and perfectly satisfying for a Sunday afternoon brunch. But I have to say what really makes the Duck & Bunny so magical is the ambiance and the service. The decor is adorable - cushy tufted headboards and back pillows line the walls, and ottomans are used as additional seating. Take a further look around the restaurant and you'll find the walls are hung with great works of art - with some small embellishments make them unique to D&B. Our waiter, whose name unfortunately escapes me, was attentive, cheery, and helpful when we had questions about the various items on our platter. One of the most satisfying restaurant experiences I have had in a long time!

    I'm not ashamed to admit the only reason I went here is because I heard this was Emma Watson favorite hang out while at Brown. "If it's good enough for Emma," I thought, "it's good for me!" Questionable logic? Yes, but fantastic results. The Duck and Bunny has that warm ambience you just want to sink into. The decor is interesting: modern elegance with a comforting nostalgia, although space is limited so larger parties might be a bit snug. The crepes and eclectic fare are top notch, the cocktails are fresh, and the cupcakes are perfection! If you can, go on a warm day and enjoy the garden out back. And, fellas, if you want to get a girl smitten, take her here on a first date (don't forget to mention the part about Emma Watson) she'll like that!

    I give this place 5 stars easily. Have brought a few friends here for some framboise, wine and cupcakes. Actually spent my St. Pattys Day here as Wickenden Pub was packed like sardines and this place had much more room, quieter and the outdoor seating was next to empty at first, then more people started coming out back to smoke and such. Service is great and every things is absolutely wonderful!

  • Natalie K.

    As most others said, this place is ridiculously cute. The prices are fairly reasonable and the food was good. I had the 'Sweet Baby James' crepe (strawberry and marscapone cheese) which left me wanting more! My honey latté was nice but nothing to write home about. It was crowded, as expected, when we went on a Sunday afternoon but we'd made reservations and were seated promptly. There isn't much of a reception area since the place is an old house so it's snug when you first arrive and you'll have to look around for a waitress. If there's more than one or two parties waiting for seats, it gets extremely crowded. Take the time to peek around and look at the paintings on the walls (all copies of famous works with alterations to include a duck or a bunny, or both!) The perfect place for a girls' lunch date.

    I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I brought my daughters and a friend from out of town here for an afternoon tea. The service was great; the tea and food were excellent. However... our experience was seriously marred by the constant clanking of china as the servers repeatedly brought in trays upon trays of china to put away. This may sound very nitpicky but honestly it was LOUD. And it wasn't just one tray or two, it was tray after tray after tray. And I guess there's a sink in the same room and dishes were constantly being dumped in there as well. The whole point of an afternoon tea is to settle into a nice calm setting with some friends--the constant loud crashing of the china was just too much. And then on top of that one of the staff people was banging some container in an attempt to empty the ice into the ice bin. Very jarring. I waitressed for ten years, I'm familiar with having to take care of stocking china in a dining room. But good heavens, these people really had no idea how loud they were being. It's a very small establishment and you simply can't be unobservant about the amount of noise you're making. I doubt we'll be making a return visit. We'll save our fancy teas for Blithewold.

    Duck and Bunny is a great place to go for a light fare or a after dinner drink and a cupcake or a crepe. I was actually looking for a different place to go on a first date and decided this was the place. It's located in an old house so the ambiance is homey and charming! I absolutely loved the red velvet cupcake. The cream cheese frosting is amazing!! The waitress even knew what wine to pair with my cupcake. They are open late night too which is great! I also heard they do tea parties which would be a good choice for a birthday party! I'll definitely be back soon!

    I didn't get to taste anything other then the cupcakes but the menu looked amazing! Love the ambiance, would definitely travel back to Rhode Island for brunch. I had the raspberry lemonade, strawberries n' cream and the honey lavender. The raspberry lemonade was good, the strawberries n' cream was better. I did not care for the honey lavender as the lavender was too over bearing.

    Very cozy little place, with delicious cupcakes and a great range of drinks. It reminded me of a hotel in Galway, Ireland I had been to, due to its hip but functionally comfy decor. Also, they now serve gluten-free beer and are working on expanding their vegan and gluten-free baked goods (we heard this from one of the owners). Exciting! The mini cupcakes are just the right sweet bite that, as my friends put it, "don't register on the guilt radar".

  • Hope K.

    Very cute place - I mean they call it a snuggery, so it just has to be. An old home turned restaurant, lots of fun decor details and lovely outdoor seating make it a fun place to bring folks. It's crepes, cupcakes, tea and cocktails so definitely on the girly side. The cocktails are made with fresh, premium ingredients and are well balanced and delicious. The cupcakes are wonderful, the change the selection often and they have vegan selections. I had a salmon crepe served asian style like sushi and it was so good. I've also had tea here before and it was just what I was hoping for. More than enough for two, delicious and fun.

    A sunggery revisited... Due to my last review The Duck & Bunny took swift action and asked us about our experience which resulted in a gift card being sent to us, which was a kudos on their part.. So last night we decided to take a trip over to their quaint, dollhouse-like eatery for their chance to wipe my slate clean and start this relationship over again.. I can honestly say I was excited. For those of you who have never been... it is a very small place. I would say cozy rather than cramped or tight. Everything is white and has just enough sparkle to it. I would consider myself a self proclaimed foodie, so I was interested to see what they could offer beyond the typical cupcake.. As I thumbed through their menu, I realized it was quite impressive. Everything from appetizers and crepes to crepiccini (pasta made from crepes) and tea sandwiches! The coffee and tea menu was equally impressive! So after weighing my options I decided on the Roast Beef Crepiccini, this was a beautiful dish created by taking crepe pasta, tossed in a gorgonzola cream sauce (not heavy at all) then laying it delicately on the plate and adorned with shaved roast beef (roast beef was said to be rare but wasn't, however it was still tasty) and mushrooms... This reminded me of a spin off of beef stroganoff.. I was NOT disappointed!! My sister enjoyed the regular Crepiccini which was tossed in a tomato buerre blanc and was accompanied by an amazingly mound of Naragansett Creamery ricotta. The flavors danced in my mouth as the textures, flavors and aromas filled my head! After my taste buds had been satisfied, we were asked about having dessert... I was on the fence... Should I dive into the realm that had brought me here in the first place or should I stick to my overly satisfying feeling that I was having at the moment... After giving it a moment to think about.. I decided that I would be doing myself and my readers a disservice if I didn't RETRY the cupcakes... The server read off the selections for the evening..and I chose the Banana Nutella Cupcake (one that I had tried the first time). Minutes later it was sitting in front of me, awaiting my consumption.. I must admit I was a little nervous.. I took my spoon and took a piece containing the cake and an equal amount of frosting.. I let the texture and flavor mingle in my mouth, honestly giving it another chance. This pains me to say.. but I was left unsatisfied with the cupcake yet again.. I found the cake a little dry and the frosting on the greasy side.. I tried eating just the cake, then just the frosting.. Then both again.. nothing was striking a chord in me. My sister tried it as well and concurred. Now... on to my recommendation.. Would I tell my friends, family, clients etc. about this eclectic little bistro? Or do I tuck this away as a memory and move on, never to return...? I WOULD recommend The D&B to others and I DO plan on going back, I can't say enough about the dinner we had and how absolutely delicious our meals were! I also have a food allergy and one of the servers was gracious enough to MAKE SURE my meal was allergen FREE!! :) Until We Eat Again! NiNi M.

    One of the few places you'll find open late in Providence. The menu is decent, with foods and drinks that are made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is very comfortable and versatile; for close-knit friends or a cute date. And the staff is wonderful; great service, very friendly and helpful.

    Right down the street from me, is a little crepery. When I moved into the East Side, my new neighbor told me it was a place I had to visit. As a guy, a crepery was not the first choice on my list to choose as my local pub. I have since changed my tune. The Duck and Bunny is owned by Dan, who has a extremely loyal and tightly knit staff. He made me feel at home right from the beginning, and I honestly think of this place as a pub more than a restaurant. They don't serve liquor, but they do have an excellent selection of beers, wines, and unique cocktails as well as tea and coffee. The food should not be counted out, though. Everything is made from crepes, except the cupcakes, and the variety of uses they fine for the crepes is impressive. The cupcakes are ridiculously good. Don't wait too late into the night, or they will run out. They're that good. You will run into the college kids in here. I have seen some interesting costumes once in a while, but the crowd has a good mix, and I have never been made to feel unwelcome by the staff. In fact, they have gone out of their way on more than one occasion to make me feel at home.

    I went to Duck and Bunny with my mom and sister on a Friday afternoon for lunch. They were very busy & have an awkward and very small waiting area. The hostess wasn't very accommodating, especially to the party in front of ours with a baby stroller. Once we were seated things improved slightly. Our waitress wasn't very helpful, and wasn't in a hurry at all-- probably one of the reasons there was a long wait. We each ordered a different crepe and shared a large bowl of vegetarian soup. Everything was delicious. Our waitress read off the cupcakes for the day and we ordered a red velvet and a pumpkin cupcake. My mom and sister enjoyed them, but I did not. The ambiance is very nice and beautifully decorated. Overall a good lunch, minus the not so great service.

    Okay, I used to have a novel published here about: 1) The allergic reaction I had to cupcakes on my first Duck and Bunny visit (I'm allergic to peanuts). 2) Apologies from the owner and steps taken to prevent further allergic reactions. 3) The cupcakes. But these guys rock at responding to customer feedback, and have implemented a number of precautions for allergic people, including separate utensils for peanut and non-peanut cupcakes. I really feel safe now from any allergic issues. Thank you Mr. Duck!! Now that I've been to Duck and Bunny a lot, I'm going to simplify this. I'm a HUGE cupcake snob and have high expectations for cupcakes. I LOVE trophy cupcakes and simply desserts in seattle, alexandria cupcake in DC, and two little red hens in NYC. I think Duck and Bunny makes some solid cupcakes. The honey lavendar, portuguese sweet bread, and thin mint brownie are absolutely DELISH! I wish they would experiment more with flavors like guinness and irish cream... but I can't complain. They've got some interesting flavors and produce a good texture of cake. The frostings are satisfying, unique--could be a little bolder, but well balanced to cake context. Can I also give a nod to the fantastic brunch these guys have on weekends!? When did they even start having brunch? I thought this was more a late night (date?!) spot than anything else. But the LATKES benedict is ingenious and dare-I-say... more satisfying than the crepes...!? Pair anything with the apricot black iced tea. I think the iced tea alone has one over the addictive part of my brain. And heart.

    This is a quaint, hyper-New England old world cafe and tea salon with a hip staff. Come here for a cup of tea and a conversation. That said, there's only one boring sandwich/burrito option for vegans so don't come here expecting a solid meal (that is, if you're of the plant-eating persuasion). I came and had an excellent pot of tea (they have an extensive loose-leaf selection) and a vegan chocolate-strawberry cupcake that tasted great and was super-moist. If Duck and Bunny had more, and more interesting, vegan options for food I'd visit all the time and probably give them another star.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Providence. It is quaint, in what appears to be an old home. Intricate decorations give it a cozy feel. Look for the recreations of famous paintings with bunnies and ducks in them. While it does have a full menu, I often only go for wine, tea, and a cupcake. I enjoy the selection of loose leaf teas, and prefer to drink it while outside in the garden out back. Of course, the cupcakes are great as well. Finally, the waitstaff are top notch. Friendly, willing to chat, and efficient. I highly recommend the D&B!

    I've definitely had better meals of the type that The Duck and Bunny serve, though its charming decor bump this place up to a 3 star experience overall. After finding this place on Yelp and seeing so many (and so many positive) reviews, I was eager to check this place out when taking a day trip to Providence though left disappointed. It seems this place really primarily caters to middle aged women who want to have a "fancy" high tea, even though it's not really *that* fancy. If you're form Providence, or another area where dinning options are limited, you might be impressed by this place. But, I can't say I'd recommend going out of your way to stop in for a meal, and I certainly won't return if I'm ever in Providence again. Having brunch with two others, our meal was adequate. The real winner in our meal was the person who ordered the tea service, for $18. The other two of us ordered the fixed price brunch, including a salad, crepe, and small cupcake. I am always shocked to find places charging upwards of $10 for crepes, considering crepes are so easy and cheap to make, unless they are filled with expensive ingredients. Trying the mushroom/fontina/rosemary/truffle oil crepe for my meal, I was expecting to have more filling and more truffle flavor, though both were lacking. I also had a small salad, served with mandarin oranges, nuts, and scallions. In truth, the salad was just a notch up from something you'd get at a fast food restaurant since sadly the oranges were canned, even though they're in season now, and the dressing was nothing great. The mini cupcake served at the end of the fixed price brunch was disappointing. We both ordered the chocolate + salted caramel. However, the amount of caramel drizzled on top was so infinitesimally small that it was essentially undetectable. With my meal, I ordered a cappuccino which was not great. It came out more like a latte with a layer of foam on top, rather than a true cappuccino, and the espresso wasn't very high quality. The service was slow. This place only has about a dozen tables with additional seating at the bar, so it can't seat very many people total. Still, our server was inattentive, never really checking on us, and taking forever to come around so we could ask for our bill and finally leave.

    I've never done an update of a review before, but this is the first time my opinion of a place has so drastically changed. I hate to sound like an old fart, but it's gone downhill. It's kind of embarrassing for me that I pointed so many people to this place. I've gone to D&B many times since I last reviewed it. The last few times in a row though have been huge disappointments. On my most recent trip, our small water glasses were filled only when we sat down. We ordered drinks right away and got them. But after an appetizer and our main meal, our water was never refilled and we were never asked if we wanted another drink. When we got our salad, the waitress turned and walked away immediately so I could barely ask for an extra plate. Luckily she heard me and turned around. We also ordered the mushroom crepe noodle deal and got steak instead. I ended up eating it anyway because like I said, the waitress never came back. I went with the intent to get more drinks and cupcakes too but we were left waiting so long, I was not in the mood. This experience was exactly what has happened the last few times I've gone - ignored, no water refills, left before I originally intended to. Unfortunately it's to the point where I can't go there anymore. I guess it's still a good place if you're meeting up for drinks during late night and you don't need attentiveness. What a shame! The food is still good. It takes a lot for me to shun a place just on service, and I thought my service standards are kinda low.

    Their cupcakes are killer and for a while I was getting them multiple times a week(I'm getting married so I had to cut back on my cupcake consumption). Their tea is delish as well (coconut truffle is my fav) and their meals using crepes as the base are creative and filling. Go here for a cupcake, brunch, dinner, wine or tea!

    While on the verge of giving this place one more shot, the owner, Daniel, thought it would be fun to E-mail me on Yelp saying, "To anonymously piss all over a new establishment while you go about living your pathetically middling life. May you reap what you sow." This was followed up by another E-mail confirming who he was. This all done after I first wrote a glowing review, which I later updated after a second return with my new views (which were negative). If this is how he treats customers that have a discrepancy with really bad service, well...

    I love going to this place. I sat at the bar and spent several hours just passing the time, eating and drinking here and there. The bartender was very friendly as soon as I walked in. I had a yummy spicy tuna fish crepe, a lemonder, and a chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake. All hit the spot! It's a real treat to visit when I am in the area.

    Holy hipsters Batman! Someone once told me that Yelp is full of weird socially awkward wanna-be foodies, and I think I found where they hang out. My cousin got there before me and I received the text "I'm here in the "lobby" waiting to be acknowledged. It's packed full of hipsters in here". Then 15 minutes later "We're in grandma's white parlor on the left when you walk in". Sounds like I'm bashing the place, but besides being out of everything my cousin ordered, and her having to stand up every time anyone in the restaurant walked by our table, the place was great. No complaints about food or service, the place is just small and crowded full of shy pale people with smartphones in tight pants. I had a monte cristo with Portuguese french toast and she had the eggs Benedict. Tea and fancy cocktail (Proseco and pears were involved but hell if I remember the name of it) were both really good. Service was pretty perfect, no complaints there either. We got mini cupcakes to go and they weren't crazy expensive like I thought they would be. Actually I think they were like a buck each. The girl at the bar wasn't the brightest crayon in the box but she finally kinda figured out what was going on. (Pick up cupcake, put in box. Repeat. Breathe in, breathe out). She didn't get our order right but close enough, didn't want to confuse her any further by adding another cupcake to the mix. With all that said, I will return! Food and service are most important to me when choosing a restaurant and they nailed it.

    I LOVE THEIR CUPCAKES. A+++++ Their mini cupcakes are so amazing, and are literally ideal for any sort of fancier party. I've ordered them for birthdays usually. My bridesmaid ordered a platter for my bridal shower this past weekend, and they added such a kick to an already awesome day. She got the red velvet (always a favorite, delicious frosting), strawberry and rose, honey with lavender frosting, and mocha. Seriously all four were so delicious. Actual food is pretty good too. I've gotten crepes from here. They also have a bar as well! And, um, the name? who can't love a place that is called "A snuggery"?

    I reserve 5 stars for when I am blown away, and I almost was. I went for brunch and got The Distinguished Lincoln. I asked for more of the caramel mustard because I love all things mustard and man, what an incredible condiment. The combination of the mustard, gruyere, and a nice amount of black forest ham in the crepe was awesome. This meal definitely blew me away. I shared a Banana Nutella cupcake for dessert which was also phenomenal. The food alone was 5 stars for sure, but here is where they lost a little for me. The service was really slow. The staff was very nice and friendly, but there were periods of time where we didn't see our server for what felt like 20 minutes at a time. Another thing that struck me was the beer prices, particularly for Old Chub. I was really excited to see this on tap as it is rather rare in these parts, but at $8 a pint, I would never touch it. That is vastly overpriced. A pony keg of Old Chub costs about $80 which yields 40 pints. That means a keg would gross them $320, good for a 300% markup. Drop these alcohol prices to more reasonable levels and I would certainly come by to enjoy a brew in your awesome backyard seating.

    The service definitely needs to be stepped up. My friend and I got sitted quickly, but it took 20 minutes for the waiter to come over to our table to get our orders. This seemed to take too long considering that the place is super tiny. I tried scallion tangerine salad for the weekend brunch... which was a bit of a mistake. The salad dressing was really oily, and it literally drenched down the freshness of the vegetables. I felt like I could've just stayed at home and probably made a better, healthier salad. I feel like some of the menus are overpriced also. The portion isn't really that big.. I came to D&B twice before to get cupcakes and eggs benedict- and I agree with many yelpers that this place is definitely a better place to get JUST the cupcakes.. I feel like my disappointment just added up. If I need to come back, I'm probably gonna get a cupcake.

    I came here not knowing much about this place besides the weird name, and that it served dessert. When we entered we noticed how relaxing this place looks and is! I felt like I was at one of my aunts houses. Very quite and comfortable feel to it, actually more comfortable than any food place that I've ever been to. The waitress we had was a little spacey, but nice! This is the perfect place where I can picture myself, wife and a few other people talking for hours without even budging. I ended up having the Red Velvet cupcake and some champagne, which was a weird combo. The champagne was ok, but I'm not much of a champagne person, so I can't say too much, but the cupcake was really good, actually maybe the best that I've ever had!

    Lovely, small and quite busy. Cupcakes seem to be all the rage here with many take out orders while we sat at the bar. Friendly staff and hostess. Unique crepe offerings and menu, although only a brunch menu was offered today ... we were somewhat disappointed but enjoyed our visit nonetheless. Will definitely return and possibly sit in the garden in the back if the weather permits.

    Absolutely the cutest place in Providence to get lunch. The setting is so posh. I love the duck and bunny themed paintings they've sprinkled around the restaurant. I had the T.S. Geller for lunch which was really huge but pretty good. My friend had some crepe noodles which I had a bite of, and they were delicious and really a fun experience to eat. The cupcakes here are pretty good too. So if you're looking for a place to have a nice Sunday brunch at, this is the place to go.

    Actually caught myself day dreaming about eating a Duck & Bunny red velvet cupcake the other day, and made (well, nicely asked that) my fiancé drive us over for a little indulgence. This cute little 'snuggery' is a cupcake bakery / crêperie / café / beer & wine bar all wrapped up in a living-room-type ambiance. Really, it's in a 19th century home. With multiple fireplaces. Cupcakes are really delicious. Menu offers classics like carrot and chocolate, and also boasts a great selection of less traditional flavors: honey-glazed lavender; fig and bacon with salted buttercream; and a Guinness and chocolate combination to name a few. Crêpe plates are a bit more gourmet than your typical selection at a crêperie. The Dougie Boy - lox, crème fraîche, dill and capers in a crêpe pouch tied with a knotted scallion - with a simple salad is my go-to lunch. Recommend the Mazzy Star portobello, fontina, rosemary and truffle oil crêpe as well. Though... must say everything on the menu looks fantastic, so it's quite likely I'll be changing my mind about favorites! Nice selection of unique teas. Like that they serve lattes with honey. Haven't tried the wine selection, but the 'Flight of (mini) Cupcakes' paired with wines will probably be my next order. Recommended wine pairings are also made on the crêpe menu. Quarters are definitely a little tight - but again, the ambiance is more cozy, than cramped. Had a fantastic time catching up with my best friend T over lunch last week, but wouldn't plan to to visit during busy hours with a group bigger than three of four. Evenings at The Duck and Bunny are late with a more social/bar atmosphere. The owners are building a deck in the backyard, so there will be outdoor seating this summer.

    This is another one of those places I hate to review because I don't want it to be "discovered" and get all crowded on me. It's on Wickenden though, so it's only a matter of time. This "snuggery" is so cute it might make you sick. It's got three rooms, the first two of the three are the cutest. They're all adorned with mirrors and cushions and pillows and all that. Oh and fireplaces, who doesn't like a good fireplace? So once you've gotten over how darn cute this place is, you take a look at the menu and you've got cupcakes, beer, wine, cheese and fruit platters, little appetizers and crepes. Now, when you think crepes, you think breakfast food. Not here... there's one called The Lincoln, or something and it's like a fancy ham sandwhich in a crepe. They all sound amazing. Also, they have bacon wrapped dates. 'nuff said. Super cool about this place though, if you're into tea, is that for $3 you get a whole pot of tea. Mine filled by cup three times. I got the pear pomegranate and it was soooooooo yummy. I also got a "Sangria" iced tea to go when I left, which is basically just a fruity tea of some sort and that wasn't too bad. As for the cupcakes... First off, if you're going to get a cupcake, get the red velvet. It's totally the superior of all of their wacky cupcakes. If I had to tell you one not to get, it's one of their buttermilk cupcakes, because they taste and feel like cornbread. Other than that, sample away! The cupcakes are on the seriously small side for $3, you could eat one in just one bite if you really wanted to. But, the red velvet is awesome, so I'll keep getting them. I just won't be sharing.

    If you ever want to feel like a Dinsey princess trapped in a kitchy novella with slightly absurd caricatures of 1920s decor, come to the Duck and Bunny. You'll sit in your Grandmother's tea parlor where something just isn't quite right. It's not dark, dank or dreary, but there's something slightly gauche with the pristine white booths and the shimmering chandelier. It's all just a little too perfect. Grab a delicious cup of tea - choose from a loose leaf list as long as Pinocchio's lying schnoze. Indulge in a cupcake worthy of Alice's beckoning call to "EAT ME." These cupcakes are extraordinary. The cakes are moist - some are even filled with such delicacies as Nutella or salted caramel. The frostings are killer amazing - try the cream cheese frosting on the Red Velvet cup cake. It's got a vague essence of cream cheese with the texture and density of freshly fallen snow. The crepes are fine, but honestly you can skip these and eat another cupcake.

    The place is honestly adorable but TOO SMALL. They have fit in way too many tables and it is super cramped and uncomfortable. We got there and waited like 15 minutes and NOBODY acknowledged us. We just stood there - in the hallway and kept on getting in people's way because there is no proper waiting area. We had to act like scavengers to find a table and that too they took 10 minutes to check if we could have it. By the time our food came - we had been there 40 minutes. I don't know what their excuse was but the staff was just inattentive and bordering on rude. Their attitude really turned me off from the place - which is sad because the food was honestly delicious and the cupcakes were so yummy! Will probably come and get take out but do not wish to dine in again.

  • Alma C.

    High yumminess factor, but the prices for the portions are on the high end ($10+ for a crepe is verging on ridiculous in my book). If you eat out in large part for its entertainment value and want cute ambiance, this place might fit the bill.

    (3)

  • Mister Chub S.

    I DUCKING LOVE THIS PLACE! First of all, there's a cupcake bar that's constantly being filled with freshly baked cupcakes in regular and mini varieties. My absolute favorite is the Portuguese sweet bread cupcake. Yeah, that happened and it's delish. Secondly, it's flipping adorable in there. It's a small place that's posh without being snotty. The room with the cupcake bar has white leather booths, a fireplace, handsome lighting fixtures, lots of crown molding and did I mention a cupcake bar?! The staff are very accommodating, friendly and an attractive bunch (who said that?) Great food all around. I've had their finger sandwiches, scones, breads and lots of cupcakes and I've never been disappointed. They also have a large selection of teas and espresso drinks.

    A snuggery is a "cozy and comfortable place," such as The Duck and Bunny on the east side of Providence. I was lucky enough to spend part of my Saturday afternoon here this past weekend with a British-born friend who swears the high tea service here is the best she's had in the states, and at the best price ($18 for the whole shebang)! While the tea tasting aspect of my experience at the Swan's Cafe in Boston was incomparable and I would recommend it over and over again to anyone who loves tea as much as I do, the overall experience here (and the food especially) was a lot better than what we were offered (at almost twice the price!) in Boston. The Duck and Bunny really is as cozy as its name suggests. A sign above the menu stand tells customers to take one and seat themselves, while a basket of fluffy white blankets beneath invites visitors to curl up and stay awhile. It also boasts three fireplaces, free wi-fi, funky chandeliers, giant armchairs, white rustic decor with light gray striped walls, fresh sunflowers in tall glasses, a cupcake bar, Victorian-style paintings of ducks and bunnies, and more. One of the owners is an interior designer, and you can tell when you walk in here and are met with a sense of comfort that you just can't place. Somehow, you feel at ease to grab one of those blankets, find a chair, order some tea, a couple cupcakes, and make yourself comfortable, literally. The teapots are all white but shaped differently, making each person's tea experience a little unique. Also, you are less likely to confuse your tea pot with your neighbor's :) I love the whole matching, but mismatching aspect of it. Another draw (probably the biggest) is their cupcake selection. They have several varieties daily, in both regular and mini sizes, and in addition to serving tea and coffee, they have wine and beer, and even suggest pairings with each of their many crepes (in case you need something a little stronger than tea, haha)! After perusing the menu extensively, I opted for probably the most obvious choice for my first visit here: the High Tea, which is served all day! It's $18 per person and includes a selection of sandwiches, scones with jam (locally produced) and Devonshire cream (imported from the good ol' UK), mini-cakes and sweets, and a pot of tea. We also decided to split an order of bacon-wrapped dates, because how can you not order bacon-wrapped dates when they're on a menu? You tell me. My friend ordered the Rachel and Monica, which is one of their many humorously-named crepes, this one filled with spinach, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomato. The food was all realllllly good. I loved the chewy-crunchy-sweet-salty bacon-wrapped dates. They were done perfectly. The ridiculous array of food that accompanied my tea was almost too much to finish. I actually took some of my sweets home to finish later :) The sandwiches were made of super soft and fluffy wheat bread (no stale bread here), and each was perfect in its own way. The cucumber sandwich was light and fresh with a creamy herb butter beneath, adding just a touch of richness. The tuna salad was not overly fishy and just tasted simple and light. The turkey was actually a turkey salad with dried cranberries studded throughout, adding a hint of sweet-sour chewy texture. The sun-dried tomato cream was incredible, not overpowering, just a creamy hit of sun-dried tomato flavor, and topped with a fresh, juicy cherry tomato (probably my favorite!). The smoked salmon encased a generous filling of dill cream, and for someone who generally refers to dill as her least favorite herb, hands down, I loved it! The scone was moist and studded with dried fruits, and served with a rich and delicious Devonshire cream, a smooth chocolate-raspberry sauce and fresh strawberry preserves. It was the perfect assortment of scone toppings with a perfectly moist scone to boot. The mini cupcakes were both moist and delicious in their own right. I can't wait to try some of their other flavors. The meringues were light, fluffy, and chewy, just as they should be. No complaints here. Officially speaking, the Duck and Bunny has won my heart in ways that most men only dream :) If I had a purse big enough, I'd shove the entire high tea assortment into my bag and just eat it on the run, a fugitive from high tea Heaven. Their menu makes me sad that I don't live there, and can't eat there every day. I might camp out outside in an attempt to replicate the pure bliss I experienced here on Saturday every day of my life. I should be so lucky...

    I'm on the fence about this one because the cupcakes are DELICIOUS, but the food is only so-so and a little pricey. Also, it's very crowed there, making getting a seat difficult for brunch or during rush hour.

  • Ami G.

    Have you ever been to a snuggery? If you don't know what a snuggery is, then go straight to the source. According to the Duck and Bunny, a snuggery is "a cozy and comfortable place." I will elaborate a bit: it's warm, inviting and definitely the kind of sanctuary you go to when it's cold outside. A snuggery offers steaming beverages and decadent desserts, as well as savory and sweet comfort-food bites! I am proud to state that Providence, Rhode Island is proudly home to one of the best snuggeries around- the Duck and Bunny of course! The Duck and Bunny is an an eclectic spot that opened a few years ago on Wickenden Street in Providence to rave reviews that still ring true today. Located in a historic home, the Duck and Bunny serves brunch, light fare during the day, and is perhaps most well-know for its incredible cupcakes and beverages, both alcoholic and not. I really think of the Duck and Bunny as a cupcakerie and creperie first and foremost, but to call it that is misleading, since if offers salads, sandwiches, and so much more as well. I have ever only gone for the cupcakes, and Friday night was no different. After eating some tasty Ethiopian food, my lovely dining companions and I headed across the street to the Duck and Bunny for some dessert. It was packed, so we ended up grabbing three seats at its tiny bar (we girls grabbed the seats while the boys stood behind us!). We got lucky though because the bar didn't just serve up alcoholic beverages- it also functioned as both a coffee and cupcake bar! The cupcake selection changes often, but on Friday, they had offerings like mini hostess-style cupcakes and Portuguese bread pudding cupcakes. They even had a vegan chocolate berry cupcake, which I thought was just a great touch to cater to those who don't do dairy. Once seated, we were ready to do business. This is an excerpt from my blog - for pictures and more, go to dashofcurry.com I ended up with the vegan chocolate berry cupcake, of course! Oh and sorry for the awful flash photography. Anyway, notice the powdered-sugar covered berries crowning this cupcake jewel. So, so good. It was certainly as yummy as it looks. I am generally not a fan of fruit-themed desserts, but the berries definitely played second fiddle to the moist chocolate cake and creamy chocolate frosting, though there also was a nice dab of fruity filling in the middle of the cake. If I didn't know, I would have never guessed it was vegan. I also like it was normal-made-in-a-regular-old-fashioned-cupcake-tin sized and not one of this jumbo ones, since I was already pretty full from my vegan Ethiopian feast. My friend J ordered the mini red velvet, and graciously offered to let me photograph it. It was so cute! I think it is just so clever to offer mini cupcakes, making it possible for one to try lots of flavors without going overboard into a sugar coma. She too thought her cupcake was fab. wish I could have taken pictures of the inside of the snuggery, but since it's so tiny and cozy in the room we were in, I felt it would be a tad too awkward. Since it is situated in an old house, the Duck and Bunny has many rooms; we just happened to be in the front room, which is pretty tight. I am not sure what the rest of it looks like though, since I didn't have a chance to explore. I do know it has an outdoor seating space for when it gets warmer out! One thing I always complain about when it comes to Providence is its lack of great places to go to for dessert. Don't get me wrong, there are a few, but there's not enough! When the Duck and Bunny opened, I rejoiced, as it's basically one of the few reasonably priced dessert-focused spots (other than ice cream shops) near my home within walking distance. And, it has vegan options to boot! I am glad my friend M suggested it- that girl's got great ideas!;) If you are ever in Providence and are looking for a dining experience out of the cookie-cutter norm, head to the Duck and Bunny. You'll be able to cozy right up to some fantastic savories, sweets, and other treats!

    The whole point in coming here is the cupcakes! They always have different ones to try and the good part is you can get a mini size or the regular big size. They always taste fresh and always super yummy. The decor is my second favorite thing about the D&B. It looks like you're walking into someone's apartment with really good taste. The walls are striped and the furniture is really cool. They also have really yummy, creative cocktails ( in addition to wine and beer ). I haven't tried any of their other food besides the cup cakes but I hear it's all very delicious. I definitely recommend coming to check this place out!

    I cannot believe I have not reviewed this place yet! What is not to love about a snuggery that offers crepes, cupcakes, and cocktails? It is the sort of place you could spend hours canoodling (I am bringing this word back, people) in a comfy corner booth or table with one of their signature cocktails or great choices from their lovely wine and beer list. Do miss the Mazzy Star or Distinguished Lincoln for savory crepes!! I also love the Chubby Ella, filled with banana and Nutella goodness. But my favorite is the cupcakes- get there early because they tend to run out! The banana Nutella and red velvet are to die for- but the salted caramel and the vegan chocolate cupcakes are fab as well. Whether taking mom out for brunch or canoodling (that is right, I said it again) with that special someone over late night nibbles, the Duck and Bunny is a wonderful little gem!

    Wow, I can not say enough good things about this place. We like to poke fun at it's cute sub-name, "A snuggery," but the food and ambiance is awesome. It's a very comfy and cozy place to come and chill and hang out for some tea or some beers at night. We've been here twice for brunch and had the cupcakes both times. Everything is made/baked there and you can definitely tell. Delicious and filling. A little on the expensive side, but its worth it. They use local ingredients when they can. One significant thing that will change your life is the scones. YOU MUST TRY TO SCONES. Best we've had in our lives. Seriously guys, tell us your baking secrets!

    Really disappointed with our experience this time. My husband & I used to love coming here in the past but that has changed today. The food is still very good but the level of service that we had been used to in the past has dwindled. Our server took our order and then came back to "make sure she put in what we ordered". She added one item (pomme frites which neither one of us ordered) and the told us there was no need to repeat the drink orders b/c she "remembered those". Well, hate to say this, but she didn't remember those either. We then waited and waited and then waited some more for our food to arrive. Everyone else around us (all of whom had ordered after we did) received their food. We did eventually get our order though. The best part is when the bill arrived....yep, she charged us for the pomme frites that we never ordered or received. We did bring this to her attention and she managed a half-hearted "sorry". The prices aren't an issue but that lack of service is.

    Visited this place recently with some friends. Arrived at 6:30pm on a wednesday and it wasn't busy at all, by 8 it had really started to fill in and at 10pm was still pretty rockin. The menu varies so that keeps stream of patrons coming in for either a light lunch, high tea or cupcakes and beer. Friends got a salad and a crepe - both got thumbs up from them. I only sampled their tea - so so much better than I treat myself to at home. $3 a 16oz pot. And then finished off with a chocolate cheesecake cupcake (regular size is $2.75 - I think) and a mini red velvet is $1.25. Both were awesome!! The place fits in well with the neighborhood, antique shops, etc...

    I have now visited the Duck and Bunny on several occasions: drinks, tea, weekday lunch, and attempted brunch, so here is my summation: Overall, really cute. It is the epitome of a 'snuggery'. I had visited the space when it was Romanza, when it was the Blue Elephant - and I'll admit that I was resistant to change, but I have come around to the modern-victortian theme and absolutely adore the outdoor seating on a warm enough day! I cannot comment on their trademark cupcakes - which seem to get mixed reviews - I like savory over sweet. The lunches I've had were very good - a mix of salads, crepes, and sandwiches which are well prepared. Beverages are impressive. Not a full bar, but if you enjoy vino - you'll love it. I've sat at the bar after work to enjoy a cup of tea and watch others work on their dissertation (my guess) while sipping Earl Grey, a glass of Pinot while chatting with friends, and I've incited cocktail envy with my selection of a champagne cocktail when my friend only ordered a Sav. However, why only 3 stars? Their service is spotty. Not bad - but spotty. Coming in for brunch we were slowly greeted by 3 separate servers. There was no name taken for a wait until the 3rd approached us after we had been waiting 20 minutes. There was a lack of communication that I noticed between the staff and to us - so after 30 minutes and several, "your table will be ready in just a minute" - 5, 10 minutes later - nada. We left. It is a shame. I've had similar oversights when sitting at tables after work enjoying cocktails - it seems like the staff don't know who has what table and a revolving door of servers are either checking on you or forgetting whose turn it is. Bar is usually pretty on top of it - but I guess they sort of have to be.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Providence. A nice change of pace from your typical sandwich and fries kind of places. I'm a huge fan of their chocolate salted caramel cupcakes, eggs benedict and the Rachel and Monica crepe. The atmosphere is super cute and cozy, especially the patio when it's warm out. So in love with this place!

  • Margi K.

    Their cupcakes are divine! I have a bit of a sweet tooth and their cupcakes, especially the mocha cupcake, definitely fulfills my cravings for sweets. I also tried other food from their menu, like the Thomas Henry crepe (which is basically a breakfast crepe) and the Afternoon Tea (which comes with tea sandwiches and scones). They taste great! The general atmosphere of this place is very cute. They have parody paintings of famous artworks that incorporate ducks and bunnies. It's rather fascinating. In addition, the backyard patio is perfect for dining during spring/summer. I would suggest you check it out if you go there during spring or summer. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey. But I think it's still worth the price.

    I love the Duck & Bunny. I've only eaten there for a meal once; I usually go for tea and cupcakes. It's so relaxing and everything tastes so good. You're usually sitting right next to other people you don't know so if you're cool with that, then definitely go here. It's a hidden jewel in Providence. Also a cool bar scene at night, serves beer and wine.

    Duck and Bunny is one of my favorite spots in Providence, and I have lived here for 18 years so that is saying a lot. It is hidden away in a gorgeous looking house on Wickenden with many different beautifully decorated and cozy rooms inside as well as an outdoor garden eating area for the summer. They even have cozy blankets and candlelight in the winter. The service is great and the food is off the charts. It is adorable food too, if food can be adorable. However it can be a bit pricey, but it is well worth it. Their crepes (both sweet AND savory) are AMAZING. You also can't go wrong with a decadent exotic fruit plate and a pot of tea from their vast selection. Also, it is the only places I know of to get afternoon tea in the area and it is the absolute cutest. You can't forget about the mini cupcakes! Freshly made with new flavors daily! It is definitely a picture perfect place to catch up with friends. It truly is a wonderful "snuggery".

    I have given the D&B several tries and unfortunately cannot muster up a better rating than 3 stars... Cons: slow, inexperienced service. I wish I could chalk this up to an off-day for a server (having been one, I know what it's like to have a crappy day) but I honestly cannot say I've ever had exceptional service from any of the waitstaff. I've been ignored, forgotten, I've had experiences where the servers were downright rude. I will say however that the owners are very nice. Cons: I love cupcakes, and I've had a few that were good, however 99.9% of the time, they are stale :( very disappointing Pros: the atmosphere is great, love the fireplaces, free wi-fi, super cozy spot Pros: the remainder of the food on the menu is consistently good. the fries are AMAZING. Pros: the tea selection is great, as is the wine/proseco, beer, etc. Pros: they are open late Overall: ehh. I would recommend for a late afternoon tea/lunch. You will wait forever for everything when it's busy. As far as the cupcakes go: I have found better places in Provi for cupcakes.

    If you're over 6ft. tall, try not to go inside. Imagine Alice in Wonderland meets a baroque music video made by an eccentric 4-year-old, meets low ceilings and superb cupcakes. Honestly, the interior of the Duck and Bunny makes me nervous about possibly having a seizure, but their cupcakes are out of this world, as are their cocktails. I took a friend from NY here when she visited and the first words out of her mouth were "What IS this place?" She then proceeded to eat 2 giant cupcakes and drink 3 cocktails with muddled fruit and herbs. During the summer, they have a really great back patio that's perfect for lounging with friends on a warm evening. The patio does NOT look like Alice in fever dream Wonderland, which is its other plus.

    This place is ADORABLE. It is such a great place to go for brunch with a girlfriend. It has this warm cottage type feel and the interior is so cute. Their menu is basically salads and different types of crepes, but it is all fantastic. The truffle fries here are delicious! I still crave them. After a light, but satisfying meal, you should definitely check out their desserts. When I went I got 3 kinds of cupcakes: red velvet, a pumpkin one (a special at the time), and one other one that I cannot remember )=. Sweets with a nice cup of coffee is the perfect end to a delightful meal.

    Really cute place with yummy cupcakes and inventive crepes. I went on a Friday night around 7:30 pm on a double date. I was a bit apprehensive at first because let's face it - places this trendy and cute tend to be a blatant rip off. I'm not a fan of Providence and all it's uber trendy expensive hipster hang outs but I tried to go in with an open mind and it paid off. The four of us ordered 2 large pots of tea, but since they were out of the large pots themselves we got extra strongly brewed tea bags in the normal pots with free hot water refills. Not optimal, but an acceptable substitution. We tried the pomegranate pear tisane and our friends got the decaf earl grey cream. The former was very fruity and mixed well with a bit of sugar and the latter with a splash of cream and half packet of sugar was divine. We also each tried a different crepe. Prices are reasonable for what you get (remember, this IS Providence) but I wouldn't recommend coming here when starving. I had a big lunch in the afternoon so I was happy with my portion and what I paid for my dish (the Wyatt-Reuben). It was filled with smoked turkey, mozzarella, and fresh spinach leaves with the raspberry coulis drizzled on top. If I had to point out one slight con with my dish, it would be that there was too much spinach in the crepe. Since mine also came with a small fancy leaf salad on the side, I think they could have 'beefed' it up with more meat and cheese. My boyfriend had the Ultimate New York System Crepe - which was four small hot dogs wrapped in crepes with meat sauce, chopped onions, mustard and celery salt over them. It was pretty good, and a great nod to the RI food culture. Our friends ordered off the the seasonal menu - one of them chose the Crepiccini Bolognese while the other went with the Pork LoMein. The neat thing with these two dishes were the crepe 'noodles' - a crepe thinly sliced to mimic fettuccine noodles. The Bolognese dish was billed as being topped with beef in a cream sauce. It really looked like the same meat sauce as the New York System crepe had and the cream sauce was a bit more mild than I would have expected. I also thought there might be pieces of mushroom in the sauce but that was not the case. The pick of the night was the Pork LoMein - again, it had the crepe noodles but added sliced pork meatballs, scallion, and carrot in a delicious teriyaki sauce. The meatballs were soft and delicious and the teriyaki sauce was insanely tasty! Finally, at the end of your meal you are invited to take a little cupcake 'tour'. At the bar there is a glass top section with the cupcake drawer built into it. There were a bunch of flavors - banana nutella, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate salted caramel, carrot cake, hot chocolate, red velvet, double chocolate and even more. They always have at least one or two vegan options if that's your thing, as well as a gluten free cupcake. In the end, we went with two chocolate salted caramel, a double chocolate and a red velvet. The salted caramel one was so luscious - a chocolate cake with chocolate whipped frosting drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with sea salt - but I was very happy with my red velvet. The cake itself was good, but what made the experience was the airy and tart cream cheese frosting. Seriously, it was almost the texture of a mousse! All in all, it came in about $70 for the four of us. I was pleasantly surprised with the cost and would love to return for a lunch or afternoon snack sometime. They offer a baker's dozen of their cupcakes for $30 too, which wouldn't be a bad option if you need some sweets for a get together.

    Firstly, the atmosphere is comfortable and intimate. An old house on the East Side is just the place to have a restaurant, and this is it. Friendly staff, and I've said it before....goes a long way. I've done brunch and appetizers and drinks but I will definitely be back for more. Everything was tasty and well presented, our waitress was down to earth and friendly. Anyone who takes to the time to know her menu and make recommendations is top of my list. Bartenders are friendly (it makes all the difference) and drinks are great. To speak to the size and the seating, it is a small space, and there is just so much you can do short of knocking down a wall. So for the gripes about that.....find a bigger restaurant!

    3.5-star average rating? O HELLZ NO. If anything deserves 5 stars, it's the D&B. I don't care if your crepe was too soggy or the place was crowded with hipsters last time you went, the Duck is still a solid 5. This place is downright outlandish in its originality; after traveling the country far and wide since living in pvd last year, I have yet to come across a venue that even nears Ducky's atmosphere. Part bar, part lounge, part tea room, part luncheonette, part French cafe, part zebra, the D&B is a chameleon that seamlessly blends the elements of comfort & style.

    Ugh, such a damn let down. I was so excited to try here because of how cute the interior looks and the supposed amazing cupcakes. Well, the only thing decent about this place is how adorable it is. That's it. We sat outside, which was nice on a perfect weather day, but our waitress was beyond terrible. After taking our very simple order of 2 cupcakes and 2 drinks, she proceeds to talk to another table about nonsense for a good 15 MINUTES before bringing the order in. We then waited another 10 minutes for our drinks, and I had to actually ask her for the cupcakes. While the lavender buttercream was good, it arrived with a dent in the side of it, and the brownie cupcake was stale beyond belief. When I told her that she told me something to the effect that the sugar makes the cupcake hard? FOR REALS? Disappointment all around.

    My two major food groups exsist in near perfection at this wonderland... Sugar & wine!! Red velvet cupcakes are the most amazing thing you'll put in your mouth & their wine selection is well thought out & compliments the menu nicely. Just walking into the place you feel like you've entered a modern/less cluttered version of NYC's serendipity w/out the apathetic staff. I can't imagine anyone not liking it here.

    I love this place! They have great cupcakes! The crepes are really good too. It's especially nice in the summer because they have outside seating. The last time I went, it was extremely crowded, but the staff really did a great job. It wasn't a perfect experience, but they were very quick with service recovery. I will definitely be going back.

    Awful. Just came from here with my boyfriend. We went for dessert after having a great dinner at Tokyo. After waiting in the teeny doorway for at least 5 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us, we were told there "might" be a table for us. After people crowding the bar finally moved, we decided to just sit there instead of "maybe" waiting for a table. So we were given menus. And waited. And waited. And waited. Then 3 girls came in, loudly traipsed up to the bar, and got cupcakes to go. Being served before us. Finally, Nick the bartender came over and told us there was only one of the cupcakes we wanted left (almond joy) as the other got sold to the girl who cut in front of us. Grr. Fine. We ordered the last one and I also ordered the "sweet baby James" Once it finally came out about ten minutes later I was surprised to see strawberries in a burrito. Yes folks, strawberries. In a burrito. Nothing more. Not a thick, mistaken crepe. A tortilla. It was one of the worst things I have ever tasted. There was no sweet in this baby James. There was no flavor, no taste, just strawberries. In a burrito. Nick never came over to see how our food was, nor our drinks (Guinness float for him, mediocre and a Lindsey for me.) When we finally called him over, he apologized for serving the other girls first, said it was "sometimes hard to manage" with all the confusion and was stunned by our hatred towards our baby James. Thankfully, he did not try to make us pay for it and we left. The almond joy cupcake was delicious. Make more for busy days like Friday and Saturday. Stick with what you're good at duck and bunny- cupcakes.

    I had not read any reviews of the DB before dining. I just knew I had to check Yelp after my experience. Someone back in August said they would wait until they heard the service had improved. Well, it's now February and all is the same at the DB, apparently. We were stuck in the cramped corner of a room with another group cramped in the opposite window. When a couple came in they were sat riiight next to us on the wall...by the windows. So there's a room full of tables with the only people in there right next to each other. Maybe they wanted us to chat? It's like going into a movie theater populated with one person and sitting right next them. Point is, apparently people are to SIT BY THE WINDOW. It looks busy that way? Even better, we had three waitresses and no explanation or warning that the first would not be returning. The first returned to seat another table but didn't acknowledge us, or the fact that she never returned to take our order. Someone happened to be lighting the fireplace (which is candle lit) and thought we looked decimated over in the corner and decided to take our order. It was nice of her, but the relationship we built would be short-lived. The food was interesting, yet pricey for the quantity. $10 for a crepe, but it was done well. Decor is not cozy, it's like being in a mod version of Alice in Wonderland. Interesting, yes. Cozy, no. They definitely went out on a limb.

    Honestly, 3.5. I am just going to do a succinct little review for you; there are enough verbose ones on this page already. Atmosphere: adorable. Quirky. Fun. The kind of décor I like to sit around in once in a while to feel fancy. Crepes: delicious. The Distinguished Lincoln blew me away. No skimping on the fillings or the flavor. Cupcakes: have not ever been moist. I've had a couple both times I've visited, and they have been delicious in flavor but dry. Not impossibly, "oh-ick-I-can't-eat-this" dry, but not as moist as you'd want. Definitely not worth $2.75 apiece for the "maxi" (which is a regular sized cupcake.) PB&B: Toasting the Portugese bread makes it a very hard sandwich to eat, even with a fork. It doesn't hold together well at all. There are better ways to do a PB&B (like, I don't know, GRILLING IT?!) than toasting thick bread for a base. Waitresses: bored. Uninterested. Hipsters, I suppose. None of them have ever been particularly good at their jobs, paying attention, knowing their products, etc. The first time I was there, a couple of women were trying to get information on gluten-free options, and the waitress couldn't really answer them, despite conversing with the manager or whoever was on duty above her that day. The one I had on my last visit an open-back dress on and no shirt underneath, just a bra hanging out. I mean, it was a cute bra, but it was still awkward. Tables: too bloody small. If I order a pot of tea and my companion orders a latte, and they're both in 8oz cups on saucers, there shouldn't be a problem fitting a couple of plates on the table. But there is. Things always have to be moved and rearranged. There should really be fewer large tables rather than a bunch of small ones.

    Love this place. Great on a weeknight because weekends get a lil busy... you can get a whole pot of tea and a mini cupcake for $5 and sit + talk for hours. The place is super cozy + beautifully decorated. They will even give you a blanket to snuggle with. Amazing. This is one of those places where you don't go for a full meal, but rather a snack, a drink + sit for as long as you like. They have a bar + lots of tea choices. You can't go wrong.

    I was in Providence briefly for an interview and stumbled across this place looking for a spot to study because I knew they had free Wifi and coffee. I was very pleasantly surprised when I walked in to see the adorable decor. The music, lighting and ambiance were extremely comfortable (I can see why they call it a "snuggery.") The waiter James was awesome and gave me help deciding what to order. I had an amazing Vanilla Chai Latte (I ended up ordering two because it was so good!). I also had the truffle pomme frites which did not disappoint. I even met some very interesting and fun people because the seating is so intimate. I didn't get much work done, because I had too much fun! I would definitely go back.

    I can't believe I never updated this... the Duck and Bunny gets better every time I go. Get the Portuguese sweetbread cupcake if they have it (its outrageously good). The other big thing I will note is that it will be summer again, I am almost sure of it. When that time does come go to the DnB and make use of their outdoor garden/patio/backyard area. Its superb and an amazing way to while away a summer night.

    I have been mulling this review over for some time, because I was too upset to have it come out right when it all happened, so here goes. I have been to The Duck and Bunny several times for lunch when I pass through town on business, which is pretty often. The first time, I loved it, because there was one male employee behind the bar who was very kind to me and the food was great. So I decided to make it a regular stop on the rotation. The next two visits were pretty bad. I'll elaborate on my final visit. There were two female employees who were gabbing away and ignored me as I stood in the doorway until I finally asked to be seated or even just look at a menu while they chatted. One of them said, "Sorry, didn't notice you there. Are you alone?", which is maybe the worst way to great a solo customer. So I sat down and waited for someone to take my order. And waited. I was trying to relax, and accept maybe this was the style at a place like this, until I saw that the table of three who came in after me had already been served their lunch! Finally, I just went up and asked if I could order and they apologized for forgetting about me all alone in the corner. To add insult to injury, the special I ordered (an "asian" style crepe noodle dish) tasted like it came straight out of an Annie Chun boxed mix. Needless to say, I had to walk up to get my own check. Walked up to get my change back. And said goodbye to myself as I felt like an invisible person as I was ignored once again. As a traveling businesswoman, I eat alone almost most of my lunches, and I don't believe I have ever been treated so poorly. Based on the way I was treated, I don't think I'll be back, solo or not.

    I just love the randomness and quaintness of this place, from paintings of bunnies and ducks all over the walls to Alice in Wonderland high-backed chairs, this place scores a 5++ in character and originality. I had been there twice before, once for brunch (yummy but very crowded and cramped) and once for a a big girl's hot chocolate and a red velvet cupcake (heaven). My boyfriend and I took my parents there on Saturday night after dinner and it was surprisingly dead. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly, even though all we ordered was coffee and tea. There was a great selection of classic rock playing and we had a cozy window seat in the front near the bar. All in all, a perfect place to end the evening.

    BEST dessert EVER. The first night we went there we had the worst waitress ever. She was so flaky but rude too. BUT the dessert was so delicious we had to come back and try again!!! This time we had a waiter and he was awesome. The crepes once again were spectacular- and I don't even have a sweet tooth! Get the drunken raspberry hot chocolate- it'll be the best bangarang hot chocolate you've ever had. This is my new favorite spot. Oh, and if you've come after dinner- don't bother looking at the cupcake menu--- they've probably sold out of most.

    I had high expectations for the D&B, particularly considering my fondness for rabbits. I do, unfortunately, fall into that stereotype of pet owner who cannot get enough of their particular kind of pet. But I digress. I love the potential in this place. The decor is fabulous, and their concept of a "snuggery" with clever crêpes and cupcakes could be la crème de la crème, but there are a few missing ingredients. We patronized the D&B with another couple, and the dining room was so warm and crowded that we opted to enjoy the cool, late Summer dusk in their back garden. This thankfully made the long wait for our food much more tolerable. The Dougie Boy spoke to my soul - herb crêpe purses of smoked salmon with capers and crème fraîche. My boyfriend's order of a Distinguished Lincoln (Black Forest ham, Gruyère, and mustard) was giggle-and-drool-inducing. Our companions' choices were a Creperito (a crêpe burrito) and pork lo mein made with crêpe noodles. The ingenuity is truly astounding. I have to say I was personally disappointed with the food. Because I am a big fan of these flavors for brunch, I was excited about the cream-cheese-and-lox idea adapted as a dinner dish. I am annoyed that they fail to mention its temperature on the menu. The entire dish was cold - fridge cold - the "herb" crêpe was bland and chewy, and the capers overpowered the taste of the whole thing. The least they could have done was pan fry the bottoms to replicate the temperature and flavor of a hot, toasted bagel. I chose not to make a fuss and ate it anyway, but I was disappointed in my food. To be fair, I was the only one who was. Having been dissatisfied with my entree, I was ready for an exciting cupcake. I chose a peanut butter chocolate truffle, and when it finally arrived (how freakin' long does it take to grab cupcakes?!), my disappointment reached its climax. Dry cake, greasy, grainy frosting... ugh. Seriously, I have had better cupcakes from a grocery chain bakery. One of my dining companions also got a cupcake that was supposed to have chocolate chips in it. While she said it was tasty (I have to qualify that my standards are higher than hers when it comes to sweets - I am not a fan of Little Debbie), she also complained that the chocolate pieces were undetectable. Though the service was very slow, the atmosphere rocked and we had a great time. But considering these folks want to be known for their crêpes and cupcakes, they have some work to do.

    If I had to use one word to describe this place, it would be: lovely. From tea, to cupcakes, to chandeliers, this place is perfect for lunch with the ladies. Came here with my boyfriend who said he felt a little out of place (I, on the otherhand, completely loved the feminine/seductive decor). We both agreed that the truffle pomme frites were the best fries we had ever had. Our wine, an Italian blend for $25 a bottle, was very drinkable. The cheeseboard was good fun as well. The music, though I enjoyed it, was odd--live Cure and Natalie Merchant and other 90's pseudo goth-girl stuff. I wish I could see this place in the summer!

    I admit, I think I had as much fun reading about the Duck and Bunny from afar then I did actually visiting. Don't take that to mean that the quality of the food is in any way sub-par, or that there is anything wrong with the establishment,. In fact, all I really mean by that is the term 'Snuggery' is one of the single greatest words I've heard coined recently. In fact nothing but the idea of eating at a 'Snuggery' named "The Duck and Bunny" kept me sane throughout hours of lines, security checkpoints, snoring companions of airplanes, days of sleeplessness and a wedding. I still have a bit of trouble reading the words 'Duck, Bunny. and Snuggery" without giggling a little. They might be the three cutest words ever put together. Ok, so it isn't just the name, although it does help; the Duck and Bunny makes their position on local foods very apparent from their website, and have a very interesting menu on a very nicely designed website. Straight off a six hour plane trip, I needed some good food and caffeine in me, or else the little daemons of insanity that were gnawing at the corners of my reality might gain purchase and start their invasion in earnest. I recall ordering an awful lot of food, there was a cheese plate, and a few espresso drinks, and a crepe, or maybe two. I might of had a traveling companion. I think I did, and we both ate like royalty. The espresso drinks were very well done; I'm always very happy to see non-career baristas taking the time to make a really good espresso drink rather than just an acceptable one. The food is exactly as delicious as it looks and sounds. The aesthetics of the location, which I confess to not noticing until about halfway through my third course and fourth cappuccino were incredible. The owner managed to tie together a lot of vintage and modern furniture in a wide variety of styles into a single coherent (if eclectic) collection. It's rare that the style of a place can leave a strong impression, but I have never been in a place that had more thought and effort put into the design. Every detail was attended to in order to create the look of a snuggery. Until I heard of the Duck and Bunny, I had no idea what a snuggery (giggle) was'; upon setting foot, I new straight away that this is what a snuggery (giggle) should look like. And all that was before I saw the garden. The garden is simply impeccably charming beyond words. It really must be seen to be fully appreciated. The Duck and Bunny is somewhat remarkable. Before hearing about it, I had no idea what a 'Snuggery' was. and now I'm not quite sure how I lived without.

    Went here for breakfast yesterday, and I'm still in awe of how perfect it was. It was THE cutest place I've ever been to eat; "snuggery" is the perfect description for it. There are feathers adorning the ceiling and little silver accessories everywhere, as well as cute duck and bunny ornaments (as you'd expect). It's very small, but they make excellent use of the space they have. I ordered a sencha green tea latte, which they said they'd never received an order for before, but it was extremely good. I also got a crepe with sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, and spinach...holy god, it was delicious. My boyfriend got the french toast and was equally impressed. Of course, we couldn't leave without cupcakes. We got 2: banana nutella and peanut butter cup, and I'm pretty much drooling just typing about them. The banana one had nutella filling in the center, and the peanut butter one had an actual Reese's baked into it. This place has a cuteness and comfort all its own. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

    Came here twice last weekend. Drinks on Friday and dinner and drinks on Satruday. Friday: super packed around 10pm went in and had to leave and go back because there were no seats. Had great service and I had the Champagne cocktail with the mixed berriers and rose water. Pretty good with a flower aftertaste. Saturday: Sat at the bar, went around 7:30 pm. OMG get the french fries! SOOO good! Some were a bit overcooked for my liking but overall they were awesome. Little bit of cheese, herbs, and truffle oil. Can't go wrong there. I had the Crepeadilla (?) with 4 cheeses, tomatos, and scallions, and creme fresh. Meh. I expected it to be more warm and have more of a crunch to it but nope. WAY too much cheese. Not my fave, I ate around the center because of the amount of cheese. I would like it if they had used different cheeses maybe or a little bit less. My date had the burrito crepe with ham. His was really good. His also came with a small salad which I put on top of my crepe. I literally drank my way through the champagne cocktails. I had the mojito (awesome). lavalampbp (really really good), and a kind of mimosa. All were awesome as usual. My only complaint about the place is that the drinks are pricy. at 9$ a cocktail and 5$ a beer my date and I racked up nearly $50. However I love this place so much that it is worth it. And the bartenders do such a great job of mixing these cocktails. CUPCAKES: omg we each had a mini cupcake- 4 each: Red Velvet- delish, typical red velvet. Carrot cake: so MOIST, if there were nuts in it i did not taste them (i hate nuts), had a nice hint of spice and the cream cheese frosting was awesome. Espresso: a must get for coffee lovers. you can def taste it in there with a hint of chocolate. Banana Nutella: O M G SOOOO GOOD! Banana cake with nutella in the middle with a buttercream frosting and nutella drizzled on top. Holy crap my fave one so far. You must try this if you come! Service is great and super friendly. Chatted with the bartender and other waitresses and ended up hanging out for a few hours. Place was consistantly busy but we were well attended to. the BEST place to go on a date or out to dinner with a girlfriend or two or just out for a drink. also Men take note- dont be weary of the name and not go in, LOTS of women at this place. Takes reservations for parties of 6 or more. If you want dinner go early.

    i am still dreaming of the banana nutella cupcakes! The supreme combination of frosting, banana cake and just a touch of nutella = to die for. And the staff that was friendly and smiled way more than they needed to for what I definitely was expecting to be a hipsteresque café experience. (What, actual patience and smiles from a server at a trendy tea bar?! Unheard of. We were, of course, in from Boston, so maybe that explains my surprise) I tried several cupcakes and ogled my friends' delicious looking crêpes... everything was yummy. It is eeeeensy but it's a positively charming spot for mid-afternoon tea/coffee/snack/recharge.

    love this tea house! such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere! perfect for a night cap or to catch up with a girlfriend! they offer more than just coffee, tea and cuppy cakes!!! crepes are sooo delish and so are their appetizers! the setting varies per room and they even have an outdoor patio. the name itself, is perfect because you wouldn't expect this place to have such much to it! you will literally sit here for hours, just chit chatting. thats the atmosphere i love.

    Excellent food poorly served. or... Servers so nice you just can't stay mad at them. I can't decide on a title for this. Here's how it went down: 2 of us walk in on their busiest time of the weekend- they told us they were cleaning off our table. 15 minutes later the party of 4 that walked in after us was seated. There was a small exchange that started with my GF asking how long it would be until our table was ready and ended with the woman who would go on to be our server suggesting we ask guests of said table how long they planned on staying. Seriously. That just happened. We were hungry enough that we decided to stay (knowing we faced an inevitable wait at any other place) and some 5-10 minutes later they politely crammed us into a "snug" corner, with my poor GF dragging her backside through the neighboring couple's salad. No harm done. The decor of The Duck and Bunny is absolutely charming. It looks like a half a season of Trading Spaces was shot here. Every bit of the space has the same eclectic polish with the highlight being their replicated masterpiece paintings, all of which now have ducks and/or bunnies. My seat was a bench by the window; and when I say "by" I actually mean "the windowsill was where my back is supposed to go." Here's what I saw happening ALL around me: there was never a time when every single table around me wasn't waiting on something- empty plates taken away, a check to be delivered, empty drinks being refilled, to be greeted... you name it. The ONLY thing that seemed to happen consistently was the kitchen delivered plate after plate of very well prepared dishes in what seemed like the blink of an eye. It is an absolute slap-in-the-face to the cooks for great food to be overshadowed by such abysmal service. My Florentine style benedict dish was excellent, and (luckily for me) needed nothing else, period. Unlike my coffee, which needed milk, which I never got. The waitress never stopped being apologetic and kind, and that's probably what saved this rating from 2 stars. Of course, I had to let her know I was dissatisfied by leaving substandard gratuity, which, for me is %15, and thus, she probably doesn't know how dissatisfied we really were, if at all. I will probably go back. It will not be when they are busy.

    Last night I made my first visit to the snuggery which was long overdue. I arranged a special wine pairing dinner with Jessica, the owner, for my wine group. meetup.com/the-providenc… We had a choice of crepe and mini cupcake each paired with a wine. I had the Distinguished Lincoln which had smokey ham, nutty gruyere and it was drizzled with caramel mustard...all I can say is YUM! I also tried a bite of the Rachel and Monica which had spinach, goat cheese, and sundried tomatoes- also delicious. Mine was paired perfectly with a Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc. Dessert was a choice of mini cupcakes and a sweet or dry Cupcake reisling (how fitting) or Dutch chocolate Raspberry Chocovine....I choose the latter and it was amazing. I think Jessica and her husband accomplished was they set out to achieve...this is a great cozy place to go with friends or a warm place to snuggle up to someone special. I am hoping to make many more return visits to this special place!

    Strongly awesome cupcakes, amazing decor, wonderful menu with great suggested pairings and passable service. Our small party of five arrived and was promptly snugged into a corner in the room with the duck painting (creepy yet adorable). Our waitress was nearly as whimsical as the charming decor, wearing some sort of backwards kangaroo pouch on her back, which unfortunately was not a cutlery/napkin storage space. After we requested napkins, she took our drink order in a reasonable amont of time. The crepes came quick enough, and we went on to dessert-cupcakes! Overall, I'd recommend this place for its ambiance and quirky but delicious treats. Of the menu, this is what I sampled and my recommendations: The Dougie Boy- Two delicious salmon and caper filled crepes. Do not order if you are expecting an extremely filling meal...this brings you up to full if you're on a quarter tank. Pear Salad-My friend ordered this and I can't find the proper name on the website. Best dish I sampled. Amazing toasted pears sprinkled with goat cheese drizzled with dressing over mixed greens. 10 out of 10. Get it. Creperitto- A happy marriage of french cooking and Mexican fillings. Actually this is filling-this entre was a monster of a crepe. Highly recommend it. Champagne Cupcake drink- Not too much cupcake, just a pretty standard champagne. Not bad, but nothing worth discussing. Moving on... The Lavalamp- WONDERFUL. I lust after this Magners and framboise lambic creation. We even put it over a candle and stirred it up to watch it go. Entering and delcious. Banana Nutella cupcake-Forget the rest, this is the best. Double chocolate vegan- I was looking for a lighter cupcake, so I ordered this. Not bad, but not earth shatteringly wonderful either.

    I was in Providence for the day with my boyfriend and a waitress at another bar recommended this place. We are so glad she did! I have no idea what a "snuggery" is supposed to be, but I think I like it! We stopped in on a Saturday night just for drinks and dessert, and were excited to find out that they had a huge outdoor patio with couches and candles - so romantic! (Also a good place for my boyfriend to smoke the cigar he bought there) The interior is also adorable, kind of like a mod victorian parlor all in white. The décor is definitely the number one reason I gave this place five stars. I like to call myself aesthetically sensitive. While I'm kind of bored of the whole cupcake shop trend, I didn't mind paying less than $3 for a pretty good cupcake (we got a mocha one and a red velvet one, yum!) especially since I could get a cocktail with it. The cocktail menu is simple, as they only have beers and wines, but I appreciated their creativity in substituting fruit lambics for liqueur and adding fresh fruit to champagne cocktails. The drinks were pretty refreshing and definitely fitting for a chill atmosphere. The service was also good; I was excited to talk about sewing with the server, a RISD student who piped into my conversation about the best way to travel with a sewing machine. Definitely made it a personal experience. Overall, this is a nice place to chill out, have a drink, and enjoy a unique and cozy atmosphere. Maybe next time I will even order a crèpe!

    I would normally not write a bad review but today bothered me so much it needs to be out there. I often dine alone. I walk the East Side and found Duck and Bunny on one of them. I checked them out online and was excited to see crepes and high tea. All was fine, I was seated and a menu was brought over. On a day that just brunch is served, it should be stated. An entire menu is presented but you can only order from the back page. I was confused as well as the table I will speak about in this review. I ordered an ice coffee and tea sandwiches. I read my book. Minutes went by. The table of 4 that ordered right after me, was also waiting for their food. The server checked on them several times finally explaining the kitchen was backed up. I was never spoken to. Both owners (I assume) came over as well. They took them mini cupcakes. Then they presented them with their tea sandwiches. I still waited. No one talked to me. Then I received my sandwiches which were thrown on my table. The table of 4 cancelled the remainder of their order. They had to leave. They were given a GC to return back. No one talked to me. I finished my meal and I was asked if I wanted my check. Not how the food was, not how I ate without a napkin, just you want your check. I paid. I did leave a tip, of 20% on the full bill. My intent was to purchase cupcakes but decided against it for obvious reasons. I will also say, I had intended to return that week with my mother for high tea. I dine all over Providence. This fails not because of the food but because of their service. It was disrespectful. I wish them luck but unfortunately bad PR is so much worse than good. Treat your patrons the same. Let me also say, the table of 4 because of the cancelled order, their bill came to the same price as mine. They were parents of their college kids. I live in Providence. My tip and business would have been worth the extra attention.

    We came here for dessert with a gift certificate and had "The Sweet Baby James" and the "Banana Split Crèpe", as well as "Strawberry Sassafras" tea. Both of the crepes were mediocre, nothing like crepes in France. The service was very poor. We went a few dollars above the gift certificate and they do have a credit card minimum, which we were rudely informed of by our waitress. We were only a dollar short of the minimum, so we got a mini Carrot Cupcake to go. It was stale and dry. In the end, it was extremely frustrating that the service made a huge stink over a $1, so this experience probably made more of an impact than the food.

  • Mckenzie G.

    I like the vibe and the specificity of this place; however, the cupcakes did not quite live up to their reputation. We ordered 4 different types and I really only enjoyed one of them. I am willing to give it another try because I like how different it is than any of the other places around it, but for now, I'm not all that impressed.

    A true escape from the everyday right here in Providence! Once you step over the threshold of the Duck and Bunny you realize that you are in much more than a simple tea house, or a cupcake bakery, or even a bar. They call it a "Snuggery" and if you give the phrase a moment to sink in you will realize it is the correct term to describe the ornately decorated hideaway. The decor changes from room to room but the one consistent factor throughout is the friendly and courteous staff. This group of eclectic characters brings the spirit of this locale to life! Beyond the great staff there is also a fantastic selection of beers, wines, creative champagne cocktails, and of course, the food! The Duck and Bunny serves some of the best cupcakes in town. My favorites at this moment include the decadent Salted Caramel Chocolate, the Banana Nutella and the Portuguese Bread Pudding. The rest of their menu is spot on too including creative crepes, fantastic cheese and charcuterie plates, and some wonderful brunch creations. Try all of their takes on eggs benedict, or Eggs Bun-A-Duck as they would say! The perfect spot for a romantic evening, a family brunch, or in the warmer months a late night in their back patio area. I cannot more highly recommend the Duck and Bunny the next time you are looking to step off the beaten path in Providence!

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally got to go the other day! It is just as I imagined it would be. Super cute with chandeliers and paintings and just overall aww. When I was little reading Alice in Wonderland I wanted to be doing it in a place like this, complete with cupcakes and all. I went for a quick bite to eat while I was waiting for an appointment in the area. My salad was fresh and delicious. Our waitress was super sweet and happily got our check for us early since we had an appointment to get to. I want to get my butt back there for some cupcakes and banana/nutella crepes ASAP. I'm looking forward to trying this place later in the evening and in the morning to see all they have to offer.

    I went to the Duck and Bunny with high hopes and great expectations... some were met and others were... not met. Let me begin by saying that the cupcakes are very good. There is a wide selection and they are yummy. I would have like more frosting because they were so good, but I was satiated for sure! They also have mini cupcakes that are equally addictive. On the other hand, the frites I ordered smelled wonderful yet were incredibly salty and fairly greasy. I must say that I had no idea what a snuggery was. I was definitely expecting more open space than I actually encountered. It is a very snug, cozy place. While cozy and snug aren't bad things, more space for seating would only benefit the Duck and Bunny. Moreover, there was something pretentious about the Duck and Bunny. Our server was really nice, but there was an unfriendly air blowing through this establishment. My interaction with one of the owners certainly didn't help matters; when I was paying my bill, she was very abrupt. The overall ambiance of the Duck and Bunny (though I did like the Duck with the Pearl Earring and the Rabbit Van Gogh paintings!) left a lot to be desired. Will I return for a cupcake? Perhaps. Will I stay at the Duck and Bunny to enjoy it? No.

  • Leslie P.

    I give the Duck and Bunny (or "the snugs" as my friends call it) 5 stars for the menu and 3 stars for the ambiance. FOOD: Most of the foods I've eaten here have been delicious, with the exception of the bacon-date cupcake. The salty bacon frosting was a bit too unique for my tastes, but I'm glad they went there even if it wasn't my bag. The mocha cupcake is transcendent, in particular the gobs of mocha icing atop the dense chocolate cake. I also ate an incredible ham, gruyere and mustard crepe here that was about the thickness of 3 crepes from the creperie near Thayer Street, but about 2xs as costly. They must have put 1/2 a pound of thin sliced ham inside. It was worth every penny of the $10 I spent on it and I was able to stretch it out over two meals. Yum. TEA: I have sampled many of the teas here, and so far my favorites are the apricot and the chocolate chai. A pot will run you about $3, which seems absolutely reasonable. AMBIANCE: I feel put off by some of the stylistic choices here. The décor is like being trapped in an anthropologie catalog where the only color on offer is white. The famous Degas, Vermeer and Monet paintings with ducks and bunnies artfully painted in are a bit too precious for my blood. Accustomed to all the indie rock standards they perpetually blast at the snugs, I was totally caught off-guard recently when my waitress told me that Friday night is Floyd Friday, a choice that seemed more appropriate for a dive bar with sticky tabletops than this pristine, cutesy spot. That said, it is a great work zone to go to on a weekday mid-morning to get a boatload of writing done without running into a single soul you know.

    Love, love this restaurant! I've been twice in 2 weeks and had a lovely time each visit. The waitstaff is attentive and pleasant. Everything we ordered was delicious and prepared nicely: crepes, truffle pommes frites, and cupcakes. The portions were sized perfectly. If you're looking for mass quantities of food, though, look elsewhere as Pvd has plenty such places downtown or on the Hill. We had a pot of the coconut tea, yum. Their coffee menu has something for everyone. I had a wee cup of mocha last time I was there and it was just the right size of coffee after dinner. The atmosphere is cozy, shabby chic. So, I would recommend Duck & Bunny to anyone looking for a something different. In fact, I look forward to returning to sample more crepes and cupcakes. Yum. Parking: PITA, but that's expected for the area.

    Every time I visit Providence I end up at the Duck and Bunny, either for brunch,lunch, afternoon tea or wine, or dinner. Never disappointed. A tiny restaurant in an old house along Wickenden. Comfortable shabby chic decor, interesting creative menu, wines, beer and teas. In warmer weather a very nice private patio and nice place for a weekend brunch,

    Amazing atmosphere, had a lot of fun just posing in pictures with friends. The PB&B (peanut butter and banana) was a huge portion for just $7 and my Dougie looked small but filled me up. We arrive 20 minutes after they opened and got to sample their cupcakes fresh from the oven. The Banana/Nutella and Carrot Cake were moist and flavorful, but my friend's brownie cupcake was a little tuff. Food's great, only con is their $4 teas are a little small, they come in tiny teapots. But taste great if you're into tea.

    I wish I lived in Providence just so i could go here once in a while. My boyfriend and I went here around 6 p.m. one day. He got a chai latte, and i order a lava lamp, which is some beer thing and it's really freaking good, and looks awesome too. Order it if you like beer. We also got the truffle fries and salmon purses. It was all delicious, the salmon was fresh, but the truffle fries weren't as good as chicago but still very truffl- y. and yes the place is as adorable as it looks in the pictures. so our very charismatic, and friendly waiter persuaded us to look at the cupcakes which i am weak for. i immediately chose the dark chocolate salted caramel one, and was shocked as bf ordered the chocolate pb one (he hates dessert, weird i know.) He and i both LOVED the cupcakes especially his PB one. the service here blew me away as well as the food, drink and dessert. Go hereee!!! it's awesome.

    Amazing treats, fantastic decor, great concept, at night the music is at the perfect volume (just loud enough so you can't hear your neighbors) so it is very intimate. My only qualm is that the servers could be a little more personable. Try the Almond Joy cupcake with a cappuccino or a light crepe with the chocolate wine. Amazing!!! Keep it up.

  • Kim K.

    I went last night with a friend and needed to yelp about three things you absolutely must try if you eat here: 1. the pomme frites - with truffle oil and a dusting of parmesan cheese - heaven 2. the bacon wrapped dates - Oh...my....god....is all I can say. I would go back and eat three orders of them myself, and maybe a salad. Not at all greasy, how do they do that with bacon??? 3. the hot chocolate cupcake - it comes in a coffee cup and saucer; more like a hot lava cake with homemade whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Definitely don't share this with a friend. I would have given it five stars except the crepe was ok, nothing memorable. Also, we were there in a room with a large group. People, I'm not sure how the word "snuggery" inspires someone to book a table for 20 but they did and made the place feel very cramped. That said, our waitress was awesome and made sure we didn't get eclipsed by the needs of the mammoth party (who were very polite by the way). All in all a great experience and I would go back in heart beat for those dates...

    The concept of this place is so wonderful! Cupcakes, drinks, and crepes, all served in a dazzlingly outfitted historic house. The atmosphere is excellent, and this is primarily what the review is based upon. It's an old house that's been beautifully decorated: a gorgeous color scheme, opulent crystal chandeliers and plush armchairs inside, and outside it's a lovely little garden terrace and patio. A warm, inviting and chic environment to say the least. Drinks and food... they didn't really do it for me. It's expensive here, and I feel that the quality isn't reflected in the price tag. All of the varieties of cupcakes sampled were on the drier side, and they were -- no pun intended -- very vanilla. The mixed drinks were weak. The pear crepe that we ordered wasn't great, there wasn't much cheese and the pears weren't cooked long enough. They've got a good beer list, so I'd definitely return for one of those and the atmosphere again.

    Upon first entry, I thought the place had multiple personality disorder. The decorations were both Victorian and modern, but not in a way that meshed. The cafe was relatively empty when I first arrived, but the bartender/barista was not too friendly or helpful. When I asked her about the different cupcakes, she gave me the bare minimum. When I asked her about the flavor of the blueberry tea, she didn't have any information. When I mentioned that my cup was dirty (I shouldn't be served a dirty cup in the first place), she said nothing -not even an apology- as she replaced it. I promptly stopped speaking to her. My tea was practically flavorless and the only vegan cupcake was also mediocre. To be fair, the other waitstaff were very pleasant and the Portugese Sweet Bread cupcake was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Other than being too expensive and gaudy in decor, I mostly enjoyed my afternoon reading here.

  • Elizabeth C.

    I have to chime in. I've been to Duck and Bunny at least five times in the past six months. The service is as bad as previous reviewers have said. I chalked up the first bad experiences as "new restaurant growing pains". There are too few waitstaff and the waitstaff that are working seem to always be new and don't know how the place runs yet. When the waitstaff should be busy, (i.e, the restaurant is packed and busy), they seem to congregate at the bar and move at a frustratingly slow pace. Even more frustrating, I watched (and corrected) a waitstaff who was plucking cupcakes out of the case with her bare hands and licking the frosting on her fingers! On the positive side, the cupcakes and food are great. I love the concept of the full bar, and full tea service, and the location and building are adorable. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I will be back until I hear that the service has gotten any better.

    Twee to the max! If you like intimate spaces that are decorated to look like a quaint yet sophisticated British tea room complete with highly recognizable paintings by master artists (Van Gogh, Degas, Vermeer, Seurat) redone to feature ducks and bunnies (think: The Duck with the Pearl Earring), The Duck and Bunny is for you. The place is called a "snuggery," for pete's sake: everything is adorable. Their menu offers a wide variety of teas, cupcakes, and other cute, tasty things. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Eggs Bunn-a-Duck," and the Sweet Baby James blintz (strawberries & sweet vanilla mascarpone) while my sister is partial to the Mazzy Star crepe. They even go so far as to suggest beverage pairings (wine, bubbly, mimosa, etc.) for most of the menu items. The cupcake selection is excellent and changes regularly, from what I can tell (I've been twice). That all being said, the D&B is a small establishment, so be prepared to wait if you want to have brunch at a normal brunchy time (11:30/12). The service is generally friendly, and the prices, while not a super steal, are fair.

  • Carly B.

    I enjoyed my first Duck and Bunny experience, and appreciate that it's designed to be an "experience", enough to return a month later, but I'm just not quite in the fan zone. I couldn't resist getting the Mazzy Star crepe with earthy mushrooms, truffle oil and fontina cheese a second time. I dig the side of greens with the perfect tangy, light dressing. It was fun to sample a variety of tea sandwiches but they weren't special aside from being dainty and artfully served. Some of them could've just as easily been served on a bulkie roll at an deli. I'm just not getting the cupcake buzz. I think they do a great job of making flavorful frostings just-sweet-enough with a soft texture, but 3 out of 4 of the cupcakes I've sampled have been throat-cloggingly dry. Thank god for the milk! Love the name "snuggery", but the atmosphere to me feels more chic than cozy; maybe my cozy sensibilities are just more traditional.

  • Cydney F.

    This place is fantastic. Sure, it's a little overpriced, and the service can be a little slow when they're busy, but the food is delicious (I could eat Distinguished Lincoln crepes all day long) and the staff are so sweet. I brought my mother here the first day she was visiting, and she insisted on coming back every day, even if it was just for coffee and a scone. I go about once a week, usually for brunch on Saturday. It's way less crowded then, and I recommend it if you want to skip the crowds. The patio is lovely, and dog friendly. I've never seen anyone's dogs behaving poorly, but don't bring your pooch if all they're going to do is bark at the other dogs. I was also essentially forgotten on the patio once, but everyone makes mistakes, and it's the only time I've had bad service there. I love the cupcakes too. The summertime lavender is my favorite, closely followed by the salted caramel. They make excellent bribes when you need a friend to do you a favor. My only caveat is NEVER EVER EVER let the owner make you a drink. Ever. Every single time I go in there and she's at the coffee bar, she messes up my drink. No special requests? She screws it up. Specific instructions? She screws it up. She's usually the only member of the staff not wearing all black. Beware. Other than her, they're all very talented and know their way around a beverage.

    "Cozy" is a word I would never use to describe this place. I don't know if it's because I was in the bar area or if the entire joint looks like this, but I found the sterile white/silver everything to be extremely uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful, reminiscent of first snow or something one could say. That's really great and everything but that's not where I'm trying to have my tea. Anyway, I got a hot vanilla chai and it was excellent. I mean really awesome, Wickenden is completely out of my way but I'll definitely go back just for that. My meal and vegan cupcake however were mediocre and expensive. I got a citrus almond salad that was...alright. I got a vegan chocolate berry cupcake that I couldn't taste any berry in. It was also a little dry. The wait staff was really cool and I'd like to go back for alcohol at some point, I just don't like the food or the atmosphere.

    Did Sunday brunch here, around 11am. It wasn't a full house & we could choose outdoor seating on a gorgeous morning. The rest of the clientele were mostly older 55+ women, not really what I was expecting walking in, but just an observation. I really dig the decor of this place & that the backyard feels like you discovered and oasis that you could spend the day at & not be rushed. I think the waitress took that feeling too literally and was pretty spacey. She was friendly & peppy, but forgot a few drinks, the brunch we ordered was pretty slow coming out (crepes should be quick! in my mind) and it took forever to get to the check. We still had a great meal & company, but the few tables around us were not as forgiving. I had the namesake Duck N Bunny Roll- amazing. All the food looked & tasted great & I liked the unique menu. The tea & drink menu was extensive & exciting- the cupcakes were pretty good- some were dry, but I think thats par for the course as far as cupcakeries go. I'll be back to try out more of the menu & take in the ambiance, but not if I'm time constrained!

    My girlfriend insisted that i take her and my kids there to breakfast one Saturday morning...... 4 small crepes, two coffees and two coffee milks later, a $90.00 bill came to the table and i almost threw up all those eggs on the not so polite waitress..... seriously?! Not a fan of overpriced breakfast fare, especially when right down the street there are any number of small diner type places cranking out good old American breakfasts.

    My friend and I went on a Sunday for afternoon tea. I was a little nervous after reading all the bad reviews and having such high hopes for a cute alice in wonderland style tea bar! Afternoon tea was $19, came with a pot of tea, and a tray of mini tea sandwiches, and treats... just enough for two ppl. Everything was delicious! I have to agree that the waitstaff, while not rude, was not great. I paid with a credit card along with the two tables along side me and when the waitress came back she returned to me someone else's credit card. eeek. I didn't even touch the card and immediately told her. She had to make sure that she charged me the correct amount which she did, thankfully. As soon as I said "this isn't my card!" the two other tables perked right up and watched her nervously lol. Ok, so the waitstaff isn't top notch, but they weren't rude either as other posters have pointed out. It's a really cute place. I'd definitely go back... but maybe pay with cash next time ;)

    We ordered a birthday cake from the Duck and Bunny because of how wonderful their cupcakes are. Brandy, the pastry chef, called back to have a conversation about the cake flavor, filling and frosting. The cake was absolutely delicious as well as beautiful to look at. Brandy's approach to decorating was gorgeous and highly creative -- finding a way to incorporate a birthday message without sacrificing the flavor elements we'd asked for on the frosting.

    PRO: Decor is very cute!! Pictures come out wonderfully. Also, the food is presented in a very delicate, cutesy manner. Emma Watson is always here, so if you're lucky, you'll see her.

    This is probably the cutest little boutique restaurant I've ever been too in Rhode Island! The ambiance is very cozy and casual, although it's also dressy at night, either way you're good. Besides having their sublime cupcakes, the entire menu is awesome. I personally love the Tiny Evans Eggy cup (yum)! Their blue cheese and pear salad is also delish! We come here every now and then and I can't rave enough about it. The crepes, salads, everything are all good! I definitely recommend coming here for brunch and getting a table outside when it's all nice and sunny out! Oh, make sure to take cupcakes to go! They make the perfect visiting gift! One factor that needs to be address is the service time. We waited 45 minutes for crepes to finish!

    Like any restaurant a lot of your experience depends on who is serving you, and who is preparing your food. I've been to the D&B maybe three times now, and my food has always been good. I really enjoyed the Dougie Boy, and I've had delicious cupcakes. Sometimes the service is slow and far too casual. Another time I've had excellent service with a very attentive and professional waitress. I'll probably be back again one day, but I'm not in a rush. I say go, it's hit or miss.

  • Caroline M.

    Flat out, I love the D&B. I would never have dreamed that the "snuggery" concept would work, but Dan and Jess have nailed it. D&B works as a restaurant (great bustling conversation starter for a first date), bar (no hard alc, but super creative champagne and wine cocktails and a tots decent list of beer specials), an internet cafe, and a cozy alcove to hang out with friends. My D&B secret is that it's best late night - when I go it's usually alone with my computer from 9pm-1am. Less crowded, easier parking, better service, calm/romantic vibe by the fireplace in the room to the right, and the increased chance of free cupcakes before they put them away for the night. I don't recommend it during prime time hours - cramped and noisy. The decor is over the top - but somehow it adds to the charm. Bonus points for the wild creativity of crepe presentation - my favorite is the "crepucini," which is cut to look like linguine and served like pasta! As a regular, I'm always very warmly greeted by the servers and owner - but I agree that service can seriously be lacking when it comes to basics like water refills. The beer garden in the back is one of the best in Providence during the warmer months. And it's true - the cupcakes are divine!

    Calling all girly girls: high tea, Norah Jones, cupcakes, chandeliers, and crepes. My boyfriend and I just finished up brunch at this very pretty nook. We had Chamomile Vanilla Bean tea, along with the high tea set up and a crepe. We agreed that the food was very good--the scones were some of the best we've ever had, the salad was addicting, and that peanut butter chocolate cupcake...MMM. The decor is something nice too. Remember the now-defunct magazine Domino? Think dainty feminine touches such as striped wallpaper, white chairs, pillows for the bay windows, tea cups. Cute cute cute. I would definitely come back again but I'm not sure if I would bring him with me. I think we were just lucky to find out that there would be a bathroom for him.

    My boyfriend and I started out a romantic evening here and it was exactly what we were looking for. Our crepes were perfect. I am not sure I have ever had such a perfect crepe. We both had the special but I can't recall the name. It had horseradish cream that was kicky without dominating. It complimented onions and thin slices of beef impeccably. He had it with cheese and I had it without- we were both satisfied. The wine selection was exciting. cupcake reisling! The decor is darling- I want to start out every Saturday night here, and always look fabulous.

    What a cool place! The house it's in looks like a museum of colonial history but spruced up and hip. They serve up tea (with scones and sandwiches), but they also have crepes and random other things (amazing French toast). I didn't have the cupcakes, but the cupcake selection is very extensive. If it's a nice day, they also have outdoor seating in the back. Perfect for a lazy weekend brunch!

    Can't recommend this place. Took an absurdly long time to get a very weak cup of coffee. So promising when you walk in, too. Maybe they were just having a bad day.

    Came here with my boyfriend on Thanksgiving weekend. Kinda skeptical since my boyfriend very picky about crepes before. I had the assorted sandwiches and my boyfriend had the duck and bunny roll. One bite and my boyfriend was astonished. He loved it. The combination was amazing. The sandwiches were cute and just enough for me. Afterwards, we had to try the cupcakes. I had the red velvet and a chocolate gluten free cupcake. They both were amazing! Honestly, I'm very very picky with cupcakes, they usually taste wayy too sweet. But the red velvet was devine! I would order another dozen! I highly recommend this place to anyone. honestly. I was very pleased.

    I am pretty much a One-Woman marketing team for this place. I don't know if its due to my obsession with the word "snuggery" or the infatuation with their mocha cupcakes. Or the fact that they have some pretty decent wines (and dessert wines!). I have not only told pretty much every person i know about it, but have handed out some of their cute cards to friends. Anyways, first came here on Easter, after having sushi with my mom, sister, and bro-in-law. I pretty much dragged 3 full people just cause of my driving curiousity to see "snuggery" defined in the flesh. Upon entering it is a little confusing, if you're illiterate, and don't read the sign that nicely states to take a menu and seat yourself, etc. We are bumbles, so we stumbled around the three various cozy rooms, before choosing the bright, sunny room with the cupcakes in it. Again, more bumbling, luckily it was Easter and fairly slow, so we got to talk our order over the counter to the Owner. Tried a bunch of mini cupcakes, and an AMAZING cheese platter. They use Farmstead, and Narragansett creamery, and Shy Brothers, which i commend for staying local. With the check, we recieved 3 mini cupcakes! Only reason this isn't a five, is that came in other times when they were super busy, and i don't know that they have a system down yet to accomodate everyone's wants and needs in a timely fashion. I am a very patient person, but it was kinda comical seeing old crotchety women harassing flustered servers for their latte. Despite that, i'd go back again and again, and continue to spread the word of mouth. Next time i'll try some crepes and charcuterie...and maybe the dates...drool...

    A few months back I organized a bachelorette party for a friend and asked the bride to be what she was looking for in an evening. Being a laid back person, she had lots of suggestions for a casual, fun night, but said "if at all possible I would love to go to the Duck and Bunny." Okay, I thought, being completely unfamiliar with the place. I have small kids so my chances to check out small, quirky restaurants are minimal. I called ahead to reserve a spot for what turned out to be 12 or so of us, and I'm glad I did - the place is small and fills up fast, especially on a weekend night! We arrived and the table was all reserved for us. The front room was cozy and pretty. Our server was attentive and friendly. The drink I had was not great and expensive. My fault for not reading the ingredients more closely - I saw fruit and thought, 'great!' and ordered. Yeah. Missed the "rosewater" bit. Whatever I had smelled like an elderly lady's powder room. No one at the table liked it much. I would go again and order something else. The food was decent. I had a savory crepe, and while it was pricey, too, it was a nice sized portion so you felt like you got enough. The cupcakes were amazing. I had a salted caramel cupcake and it was so incredibly good. All in all, I would go again for a small dinner and would not be afraid to reserve it for a party of less than 20. It was a good experience and I have gotten just cupcakes from them since.

    the cup cakes are great. don't let them put your cup cakes in a chinese take out box. my mother nearly had a stoke when she saw three of them pilled on top of one another. it made easter brunch more colorful than usual. duck and bunny people be warned,a short top heavy cranky portuguese woman may our may not have words with you.

    The first thing you'll notice in this apartment-converted-to-a-restaurant is the hipster/cutesy decor. If you're a fan of cheap chandeliers hung in odd places and tables arranged so the you feel like you're sitting in bed, right by a ginormous puffy headboard, with plenty of pillows, you will like it here. It's a little twee... but I liked it anyway. We came with a group of 8 for brunch. We didn't have a reservation, as the place asked for a credit card # to hold a reservation, which, especially at a place this casual, is really not ok. Still, it wasn't that busy, and we didn't have any trouble getting seated. Bottomless cups of coffee were tasty and reasonably priced. We all got potato pancakes to share as an appetizer - they were good. I and one other person ordered the "Tiny Evans" (all the menu items have cutesy names). This baked egg dish had a special note on the menu that it takes a long time to prepare - but yet it arrived before everyone else's entrees! It was extremely tasty. Most all the items ordered were excellent - the one exception was the "Dougie Boy." The menu description ("Smoked Salmon Purses, capers, green onion and crème fraîche in an herb crepe") didn't lead us to assume it would be served refrigerator-cold, with a soggy crepe. However, the cupcakes went a long way toward making up for that one disappointment. Apparently, they have different flavors every day, but some of the highlights we sampled included: pumpkin with mascarpone topping, lemon tea cake with raspberry jam, and salted chocolate caramel. They were all excellent. The one unfortunate thing is that the person who initially suggested the restaurant to us picked it because they usually have gluten-free cupcakes - and they didn't have any on this occasion. She got an ice cream dessert instead.

    We ordered the extra large cupcake for my daughter's birthday. We called about a week in advance to order and paid on the phone. When we went in to pick it up, the employee questioned whether the order existed as she couldn't find the cake or any paperwork. After much searching, the paperwork was found and eventually the cake. When we finally got to eating the cake, it was very stale, as if it was about a week old and sitting around in a refrigerator that long. Additionally, there were oil stains on the cardboard it was sitting on, and those take days to accumulate as well. There was very little moisture in the cake and it didn't even taste very good. The layer of frosting between the cake layers was paper thin. We were extremely disappointed. Next time, we'll just stick with Greg's chocolate cake. Sorry D&B, you failed this time.

    We love this place! Its a very well run business on Wickenden Street. The food is creative and well prepared with fresh, local ingredients. And the service is very friendly. I suggest the Mazy Star crepe, truffle fries, and if you are a bacon lover, they occasionaly have a bacon cupcake. Their signature drinks, such as the lava lamp, are also wonderful.

    They do not serve rabbit nor duck. The truffle fries were indeed quite tasty. Their crepes are fairly inventive, but not quite something I'd write home about. I was skeptical about their cupcakes, but their mocha cupcake was indeed incredibly nice with real espresso buttercream, whipped right. The others that I tried were more pedestrian, carrot cake, red velvet, and blue moon beer. So here's the rub, the ultra hip vibe and the fairly steep price tag. It feels a bit pretentious, like they're trying to go for trendy vibe with their quirky and fancy decor, but hey, if you're going for a fancy date or hip little drinking party, then it works. But it does get a bit loud and tightly packed. It's more of an A-Ok rating from me, but I bumped it to a 3.5-4 mainly for the mocha cupcake. Overpriced but tasty little sucker.

    Alright, so I have given The Duck and Bunny ample opportunity to redeem itself because I love it's atmosphere and the concept of it. However, looks alone are not enough to warrant a return. I have gone there at least six times by now and not once have I left satisfied. Why have I gone back? It probably seems odd, right? Well, I knew how inconsistent they are with their items, so I keep giving it the benefit of the doubt. I have never posted a review before, but I feel that their inconsistency needs to be noted. 4 out of 6 times the service was horrible, but even that is forgivable considering the type of place it is. You do not go there in a rush; you go there to relax and catch up with friends over a good meal. I ordered a banana nutella crepe once and not only received it completely cold, but it tasted as if they didn't clean the station after making savory crepes. In this regard, the crepe was inedible. 2 out of the 6 times the cupcakes were delicious and moist. I particularly enjoyed the vegan cupcake that they had with raspberry filling. Unfortunately, the other four times the cupcakes were dry and the frosting tasted of pure sugar which overpowered the entire cupcake. I have received my tea cold at least three times and the other times they were luke warm. The chai tea they advertise has not been available each time I requested it; they should seriously just take it off the menu. Overall, although I enjoy the appearance of the place, it is not worth it.

    Perfect place for a date. The atmosphere is interestingly cozy. Apparently it's a regular house that's been turned into a little tea place that serves incredible teas and food. We decided to share 3 appetizers and a pot of tea. I think the tea was called peace of mind, since they were out of the vanilla chai which I heard was very good. The tea was smooth and definitely helped us both relax, considering it was the first date ;) hah. We shared the Devonshire scones, truffle pomme frites, and brie & walnuts. The last two were delicious but nothing to write home about. The scones, however.. Oh my damn, scones had an incredibly tender crumb which was nice considering all scones I had before this anywhere were hard as a rock. It had a subtle sweetness, almost as if it was telling me to smother it with the clotted cream and fruit preserves. Next time I go, I'd like to try the wine, red velvet cupcake, and the Portuguese sweet bread (?) cupcake that people have been raving about! Also, maybe it was becuase we went on a THursday evening but the service was great! We were taken care of very well so no hiccups there. All in all, great cozy place for intimate gatherings. Will definitely be going back.

    My little sister and I have been to the Duck and Bunny several times for tea and cupcakes. About a month ago we went in there to discuss what we were going to do for her birthday party this year. With her becoming a teenager, she wanted to throw a "formal attire" dinner party with her closest girlfriends. Being only 12 I thought it was pretty clever on her part and a great way to celebrate becoming a "teen." While sitting there going over a bunch of different places we could have it, she cut me off and said in her valley girl voice "umm, hello? why not here?" So we began to start planning. I emailed the owner Jessica, who by the way is very kind and sweet, asking if she would be willing to accommodate our party plans. She was more than willing to help us out and went above and beyond to ensure she had a great party. We had a party of eight girls which took up a decent amount of room in the main dinning area near the bar/cupcakes. We ordered a few appetizers to start like the fruit plate, the truffle and Parmesan french fries (they are to die for, if you don't get them, you are seriously missing out), and a few others like the foccacia bread with tomato's and cheese. For dinner, everyone ordered something different. My personal favorite was the crepe noodles with a buerre blanc wine sauce and ricotta cheese. It was amazing and very filling. I have to say that every single dish was delivered with beautiful presentation. I find that to be very important when going out to eat, I want my plate to look like a painting or something out of a magazine and they did a wonderful job delivering that. Finally, the cake was the most important thing on my sisters mind about her party. Being that she is a young girl, she loves Juicy Couture. I asked the owner if it was possible to do a cake that looked like a Juicy Couture bag. She informed me that they did not use fondant on the cakes but the head pastry chef would go out of her way to make a replica of the bag the best she could. When the cake was brought out, it was a round cake with pink frosting and brown stripes down the side of it and in the middle it read "Choose Maddie" which is just like the Juicy Couture slogan. What was so amazing is that, we were told they do not use fondant but when the cake came out it was on there! My sister was in awe and could not stop smiling and thanking the waitstaff for making her wish come true of having a Juicy Couture inspired cake with pink and brown stripes and silver bows that surrounded the entire cake. Overall, I would have to say that this was the best dinner party that I have ever been to and it was a 13 year olds party! The waitstaff was amazing and very attentive to our every need. Most importantly the ambiance of the restaurant alone is one of the most alluring things about the restaurant. It makes you feel warm and cozy but at the same time it makes you feel glamorous because it is so beautifully decorated. Let's just say we will be going back for more dinner parties!

    Horrid service and pissy attitude. They were not busy and tried to stuff us in a corner. Took forever for service and we had to go looking for the check. Waiter did not seem to care. Told them I would have liked a bigger table and was pretty much told tough. Told them I would not come back. Told fine. Cupcakes looked stale old. Liquid running all over the serving plates. Even my eight year old passed. He loves cupcakes. Run away!

    One of the most delicious meals I've had since Kiss Seafood in San Fran! Saying The Duck and Bunny immediately makes my mouth water. I went with a friend for their breakfast menu and I can honestly say it was a mighty challenge to finalize a decision on the menu. Literally everything sounded amazing! Luckily, my friend and I have an understanding that we share half of our dishes with each other, so I was able to enjoy my first choice (The Distinguished Lincon - A an extremely satisfying savory crepe with black forest ham, gruyere and caramel mustard. I don't even like mustard, but this was an amazing and complimentary combo) and my second choice (Tea Sandwiches - 5 delicious varieties of traditional finger sandwiches, can't go wrong). The ambiance is a mix of silly, understated elegance with splashes of color here and there. The fireplace is lit and the lighting lowered in the evening for an added intimacy bonus. If I had to point out any cons, the space is claustrophobia- inducingly small and it was awkward to seat ourselves and have space for bags/coats without impeding on the space of our neighbors. Definitely try to not bring a lot of stuff with you when you go. The only other thing I didn't approve of was how long the service took at certain points. I went on an early saturday afternoon and we were seated, our order taken fairly soon after, but when our food and tea arrived it was as if we were forgotten about. I'm wondering whether or not it had to do with a woman next to us doing a sampling for her upcoming bridal party, but our plates sat empty on our crowded little table for a while before they were cleared and we never got a check back on our table to see how things were or if we needed anything else. We were on a bit of a time constraint to make a train and it was irritating to have to actually stand up and walk over to the service staff to ask for the check because no one paid attention enough to see we were staring at them trying to flag someone down. I also had to walk up and **physically deliver the card to a server** so we could pay and make the train. Neither of these two irritants were enough to knock off a star because enjoying such a delicious meal surrounded by whimsical charm was a real treat and I can't wait to go back to try their dinner menu. Till then I'll entertain myself with thoughts of sitting at their bar guzzling tea and eating sweets while surfing on my computer. Free wifi ftw.

    We were so excited to go to the restaurant and support its local owners. After a 2 plus hour wait, the crepes were cold and the coffee colder. After another 45 minute, with no dessert crepe insight, we left utterly disappointed. Most upsetting was that the owner was there and watched everything and did nothing. No apologies. No explanation. Bad service. Poor food.

    Love this restaurant! My husband and I went for Valentines and it was excellent. I was a little apprehensive, as holidays are notorious for bad service, and not always consistent quality, but we were blown away! All seven courses were sublime. The servings were quite small, except for the main entree which was ample. My husband is very hard to please, and likes a lot of food. We both left stuffed, but in a good way. Because the servings were mostly dainty, it was a very comfortable sedation.

    Absolutely fantastic crepes. Mine was made with fresh spinach, turkey, and mozzarella cheese. I enjoyed them so much I made it here each of the three consecutive days I spent in Rhode Island. The decor was beautiful, too. I'm already planning a trip back just for this little shop.

    Went to D&B this morning for brunch with my girlfriends. Delicious, as always! We all had the Portuguese Sweet Bread French Toast with banana's foster & pecans. SO good! Maybe the best french toast i've ever had...really! The place itself is very tiny but no one ever rushed us out...we sat and talked for a while. Sipped on tea and coffee and, yes, had cupcakes after our yummy brunch. Definitely a great little spot to try if you're not claustrophobic.

    In prime Yelp fashion, if your expectations are set properly, anything can be a 5 star review. So my expectations were set quite high. Turns out any place that serves beer, wine and food but describes themselves as a creperie is about as pretentious as one might expect. Complete with staff that knows it and trust fund hipsters from Brown debating post feminism resurgence (true). The decor is well done and place is cozy. Wine by the glass had a good selection and were all fresh, pours were measured. More casual seating would have been nice, couches, bigger bar.

    I was on vacation in Providence last week with family and we returned to the Duck & Bunny four times; the food was brilliant. The coconut truffle tea was delicious. The bacon wrapped dates are magical. Must-order crepes: The Miss Harriet (brie and pear), The Mazzy Star (portobello mushrooms, fontina cheese) and The Dougie Boy (salmon and capers). One word: YUM. I know the red velvet cupcake is popular, but their peanut butter chocolate truffle cupcake and some other type of sweet bread cupcake they had that day was heaven. We met the owners and it was as if they were welcoming us to their home, which the place does make you feel like you're in a cozy living room or dining room, depending on which of the 3 rooms you choose. The cupcake bar is very elegant and inviting, where you can have a glass of wine or beer. Service was good all hours we went, (they have wait staff for the tables), and the prices are great for such a tealicious experience. I wish there was a Duck & Bunny in my hometown!

    Decent place- cool decor , was very confused whether there was a waiter or if I needed to go up to the front to order. Went here for brunch and the meals were decent yet small and the prices a little steep. My only real complaint was that the cupcakes were not very good- I love cupcakes and was pretty excited but ours were kind of old and stale. Other than that though I thought it was good but nothing too exciting

    It's Alice-in-Wonderland meets Wickenden Street. Heavy on whimsy, light on menu selection and staff, the Duck and Bunny is equal parts cutesy, cool, and frustrating. But the frustration is worth it- at least once. At least so you can say you frequent the same spots as Brown student/ Harry Potter superstar, Emma Watson, and model/tyrant, Tyra Banks. On my trip I had their signature red velvet cupcake- which I found to be a little dry, but otherwise perfectly palatable. The cake itself was nothing to write home about, but the cream cheese frosting was pretty fab. Full disclosure: I would bathe in cream cheese frosting if it was socially acceptable so maybe I'm a bit biased. I paired the cupcake with a glass of Proseco, which, at $8 was both pretty reasonable and pretty great. There's a lot to be said for a place that lets you pair bubbly with your baked goods, so that alone earned the Duck and Bunny some points. The service was fairly slow the night I was there, although the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and chic enough to make the wait pleasant. The novelty of the Duck and Bunny is a major selling point, but it's also one of the reasons why I wouldn't make this place a regular haunt: the whimsy- which was enjoyable the first go around- would probably get old. Not to mention I'd probably lapse into a sugar coma. On the other hand, I might get to see and be seen with Emma Watson... so maybe it'd be worth it.

    Very much a soda fountain for adults. It's a nice place to go with a date or some girlfriends (I imagine) and get a glass of dessert wine or cocktail and some cupcakes, some of which are very good. I enjoyed the jelly donut cupcake. The vibe is sort of remodeled grandma's house with a funky sensibility (the bathroom wall encourages all patrons to wash their hands, "but that's just our opinion"). There's also a nice outdoor area in the back with fires. The beer menu is not bad also, for those not into high tea or wine. When I went with my date we found a quiet secluded spot and were able to talk. Providence needs places like this that are fun for a date, but not necessarily for the over 50 crowd, and not blasting music so loud you feel like you can't talk. My server was a little spacey, but the service isn't what you go for.

    Like another reviewer, I was tempted not to write a review at all solely because more people would find out about this amazing place and then come in droves. And that brings me to my only con and the reason it gets four stars and not five: not enough room. That being said, it's a "snuggery." The petite space is meant to be cozy and personal, not big and anonymous. Still, I wish there was just one more room for seating. That aside, I am a devotee. I was introduced to the Duck and Bunny at a Brown event and was amazed by their mini cupcakes (and freaking adorable name and logo). The cupcakes are not necessarily super moist like the kind you make from a box. They are dense and their texture is more like a madeleine than a pound cake. Still, they are utterly delicious and flavors in the frosting and crumb are in perfect harmony. The first interlude was wonderfully tasty so I sought out the restaurant itself. Then, I tried a crepe. A Sweet Baby James crepe. And it was at that point that I knew I had found my new favorite eatery. My boyfriend had the Thomas Henry, which was equally mouth-watering. We got cupcakes "to go" but it was all a ruse because we ate them the moment we got back to our place. The waitstaff is friendly if a bit on the slow side. Though I have to say that this is a place one comes to relax and enjoy food, not someplace to zoom in and out of. Can't say enough about the Duck and Bunny. Go and you won't be disappointed.

    Yay! I really like the Duck and bunny its a great little place. A snuggery i believe its called with cute decor that makes it a cute and chic kinda place. To start off we had Ricotta cheese with olive oil drizzle with crusty pane francese and dates wrapped in bacon. I had to get use to the idea of the dates and bacon but it wasnt terrible just different sweet and salty is the term id use. We also had the NY system crepe. Of course it cant compete with NY system wieners but you still have to try it at least once its a great idea. They have a great selection of Teas both caff and decaff and really good Coffee milk :) For dessert, I was going there expecting the Red velvet to be the best but was pleasantly surprised to really like their carrot-cake and with no nuts..(i dont eat carrotcake b/c of nuts so when they told me that cupcake specifically didnot have them i was in love) For those coffee lovers: the mocha espresso cupcake is very good but I wasnt too fond the the lavender frosted one, the cake was tough and not as soft. Their mini cupcake options make it easier to sample more if you really want to get your fill. They had a seasonal pumpkin cupcake but they sold out..bummer! *UPDATE* I had their Truffled Pommes Frites OMG DELICIOUS ! Staff is friendly and both times i have been there i have eaten outside in the back patio area which is esp nice in the evening.

    The crepes are really good, but the cup cakes are way over rated. The line up for brunch is crazy on weekends, we waited for an hour to be seated, and waited for at least another half hour for the food. The indoor seating was really crowded, but the patio was nice.

    If you're looking for a small bite to eat in a really cutesy atmosphere, come to the Duck & Bunny! They have a gorgeous inside with about three rooms, all with white chandeliers and a small bar located in the main room. I really enjoy this place, specifically if I am looking to have a nice cup of tea or coffee with a delectable homemade cupcake! I would more likely come here for brunch, rather than dinner. their menu is a little short, but non the less delicious, mostly serving crepes with a funky twist. During the spring and summer months, they have an outside patio that is super nice. Nice green vines growing along the fence and a relaxing little spot with outdoor couches. if youre looking for a place to bring your mum when shes in town, or a spot to meet a friend in town, check out the Duck & Bunny!

    A snuggery is defined as: A cozy or comfortable place, esp. someone's private room or den. But is it possible for a place to be too snug? Absolutely. I'm not talking about snug in the comfortable, spatial, private sense, but snug from feeling crowded in and claustrophobic. There is a sizable local following, but the unfortunate location is small and fills up quickly. The ambiance of a quiet, clean well lit place that is being sold is destroyed with the noisy crowd that frequents this place. You have to fight your way to a showcase of cakes and jostle with other customers to get what you want. Their confections are nice, but nothing great. The Red Velvet cupcake could best be described as grainy. Speaking of confections, why couldn't they list their cupcakes on a menu? The wait staff seems clueless and act like talking to customers is a chore. Places like this separate themselves from the pack by offering the ambiance they project. You don't find what's promised here. I have a suggestion. Based on the attitude of management and people who frequent this place, this place would best be described as the SMUGGERY.

    The draw are the cupcakes and the liquor. They do have a full menu but what you'll want are the cupcakes. Every single cupcake I've had except the Portuguese sweet bread cupcake has been amazing. The problem is the lack of staff. The first time I went there was one waitress and I believe the owner serving. We had to wait a pretty long time for service. We then went back the Sunday night afterward and the place was halfway packed and only the owner was on duty. We didn't even get a chance to get anything to drink with our cupcakes because he never came around. I completely understood that he was busy but if the place is busy, hire more staff. The place is awesome and I will definitely go back but they really need more people working the place.

    I'm giving the Duck and Bunny, 4 stars. I would recommend it and I would come back too! I came here with a friend on a Saturday morning. The layout is quaint with a few tables in each "room". This restaurant is in a converted apartment space, and used to be another eatery (I can't recall the name off-hand). I had a crepe, and my friend had the duck& bunny, which were little sushi roll sized bites of what was like a rolled up sandwich wrap. The pepper kernels looked like little cute bunny poops on the plate. HAHA, sorry to come across as gross, but it definitely made me giggle. I won't mind coming back... :D

    Try explaining what Duck & Bunny is to someone who's never been there and you'll have a hard time. It's a cafe in the form of a princess tearoom with a great selection of beers and wines... and it is AMAZING. That is the best I can do. The cupcakes here are absolutely to die for. I don't normally like cakes/cupcakes so that's a LOT coming from me! I've been to those trendy cupcake-fad places in NYC and Southern California but never have the blown my mind the way Duck & Bunny has. The Peanut Truffle and Red Velvet were amazing. There was also a coconut flavor that may have been an Easter special that I absolutely loved, loved, loved! Also, the "Flourless" (spelling?--it's supposed to be gluten free) was surprisingly delicious! I did NOT expect such moistness and flavor from something gluten-free. Duck & Bunny--you will forever have a home in my heart.

    As someone who is obsessed with any place French/Parisian-esque and well decorated with a unique and interesting menu, discovering this adorable Snuggery known as the Duck and Bunny was the "icing on the (cup) cake" and has been added to my top list of establishments here in Providence. Having been there 5 times in the past 2 months, I almost hang my head in embarrassment that yes----it's me again...I'm back....sorry! I'm sure the owners don't mind though, especially since I'm always bringing new people to introduce them to my new favorite hot spot. The decor is amazing--simple yet elegant combining NYC chic with Providence trendiness (as I like to call it) and a dash of European charm. When you're done gawking at the silver ceilings, striped walls, studded white leather seats, and whimsical finishing details, you can begin to look at the menu. The selection is creative combining things you might not always pair together, but taste amazing such as dates wrapped in bacon, ricotta cheese with olive tapenade, and a New York System crepe! (If you haven't had a New York System----you don't know Providence!) I've tried a good assortment of items and haven't been disappointed by anything yet. The ricotta cheese with olive tapenade and French bread appetizer is so good that I now make this dish at home on a regular basis. (Not so great for the diet I suppose----but cheating is well worth it!) The crepes are delicious and decent portions (even for my boyfriend who is not into "foofy" food by any means and having small teasers as a so-called meal). The drink list is appealing for all and even includes a Guinness cocktail?!?! Of course your visit to the Duck and Bunny is not complete without an almost-too-pretty-to-eat cupcake! Just be careful when staring at the lovely display to choose which one you'd like. If you're wearing a skirt, you may have a Marylyn Monroe episode since its right above a floor vent. Woops!! This is a great place for an intimate cozy evening or to bring a group of friends to have fun and relax. The outdoor terrace features warm and inviting lights, a fire pit, comfortable bistro furniture and a pergola fit for lovely tea sandwiches, scones, and high tea with Grandma. When it gets chilly, put the "Snuggery" to use and grab a soft fleece wrap to snuggle with. All in all a delightful place with exciting and delicious food and enchanting atmosphere!

    My Duck and Bunny experience was an overall really enjoyable one. We got seated right away, and even though we were a party of two, for a Friday night, it was nice not to wait. The waiter was really nice and helpful, he brought us water right away as well. When we were ordering we ordered an item that was noted that would take about 20 min and even though the menu stated it the waiter still made sure we were aware of it. Our appetizer came out in a timely manner just as we were getting pretty hungry. We ordered the truffled pomme frites which were spectacular. The hand cut fries were perfectly seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, a little sprinkle of cheese and truffle oil. The portion was great for two people or one really hungry person if they really wanted to. We waited for another 20 minutes for the entree but it was worth the wait. The Creppza that we ordered was delicious. It was topped with caramelized onions, figs, goat cheese, marscyepone cheese, and drizzled with a honey balsamic vinaigrette. It was the best "pizza" I've had in a while. Everything came together beautifully. Our other entree was the Duck and Bunny Roll with smoked salmon, cucumbers, herb cream cheese, scallions, spicy mayo and caper garnish. It was little compared to the pizza but was still good none the less. Needless to say I will return to this unique and cozy restaurant.

    Too expensive. You sit too close to other people...some of which smell a little funky. Been here a handful of times and poor service every time. Cupcakes- which I've been told is what they are famous for- are ALWAYS dry, overpriced. Last time we went for dinner, we were told we had to get up from our meal to the bar and wait in line to pick them out- and the line was out the door. Meanwhile we watched as our waitress grabbed cupcakes for the table next to us as they sat there comfortably outside eating the last of their meal and sipping their drinks. I don't often tell people this, but don't bother, and save your money. Betty Crocker easy muffin packets, just add water- $1 at Walmart in the comfort of your own home.

    Crepes are amazing, and it's a fun atmosphere, but only giving it 3 stars because I don't understand the obsession with the cupcakes. They are awful!! I've been there twice, and both times the cupcakes were so dry it felt like I was trying to swallow a mouthful of sawdust!

    What an adorable place! Me, my husband and my little 1 year old where going to an art shop near by and thought we would walk down the strip of shops. That's when we found The Duck and Bunny on the sign out side the door it said they had cupcakes. So I totally had to check it out! Loved it! The atmosphere was so chic! I loved it! It was so quaint!

    We visited the Duck & Bunny after dinner one Saturday evening, very much looking forward to a glass of dessert wine. The ambiance was great and the server, while busy, was very attentive. The menu had a good range of dessert wines and the prices seemed reasonable. We were unfamiliar with a few of the wines, so we requested a taste of several. The server obliged and brought us a taste of a raspberry dessert wine- we commented on the daintiness of the tasting glass and found the lukewarm wine less than desirable. We tried a second wine, which we very much enjoyed and decided to order a glass a piece, along with a vegan chocolate berry mini cupcake. My dinner companion commented on how humorous it would be if the tasting glass was the same size as the actual glass of wine. We were shocked and chagrined when the server brought us our two $15 glasses, in what could only be described as an extremely undersized ornate shot glass with a stem. In hindsight, we should have sprung for another $15 and purchased the bottle (although we wonder how large the bottle would've actually been). We consider ourselves somewhat of dessert wine connoisseurs and realize that the serving glass is certainly smaller than a typical glass of wine. However, we are not exaggerating when we say that this "glass" was barely 3-4 sips. The vegan cupcake was quite good, but I would say the experience was somewhat overshadowed by our dismay. So, if you were to visit the "Duck and Bunny", stick to traditional wine and beer, or you might refer to it as we do- the "Suck Your Money".

    I love this place. The owners, Dan & Jessica, are extremely nice. Heather the waitress is also very nice and welcoming, which definitely makes a huge difference to a nice cafe like this one. The ambient is definitely different and one of the things that makes it so special. The food is hands down delicious. Baked goods are very fresh and original. One of the things I like the best about this place is that it has ordinary foods like cupcakes and crepes, but they are made in such a way that they are very unique and taste great. definitely would go there. I like D&B better when it is not too crowded though, that's the only thing.

    cute little place, however like stated a few times... the service was horrendous... no joke no greeting, ordered a crepe, cupcake, tea and latte (with the gf)... crepe came out after 5 minutes, cupcake 5 minutes later, then 5 min later the coffee and tea came out, completely backwards ??? i have no desire to go back there, but she liked it so i will.. hopefully to have a better experience oh and for that type of place, learn how to make a coffee, weak as hell spend more time training your waitstaff

    really nice atmosphere - cute, cozy, and elegant. but the food is overpriced and isn't even very good [except the scones - those are delicious]. what really turned me off was the chai latte i ordered. i expected sweet, rich, and cinnamony. i got watery and tasteless. i'd still recommend going here with a friend or family member for a cup of tea and a scone or maybe for an earlier brunch, but just don't come in with your expectations too high.

    I had been to Duck and Bunny twice previously (brought there for lunch by my boss on both occasions -having great experiences on both (wiener crepes to die for)) so my expectations (and recommendations) were high when I suggested the place to my sisters to bring our mom for a special Sunday brunch for her 79th birthday. We arrived before the place opened its doors at 10:00am and found several people already in line - waiting for the doors to open - but I wasn't concerned. Although I knew the place to be rather small - there were only about 8 people waiting (2 parties of 2 and one party of 4?) and there were only 4 of us. Unfortunately, we were sat in the sitting room (near the kitchen) on a high, round-top table measuring approximately 24 inches in diameter (obviously meant for a party of 2). I questioned the hostess and asked if we might be moved into the main dining room that was still largely empty but were told that those tables were "reserved" for a party of 12. NOT happy, but what were we to do? We ordered our food and as "first course", did enjoy some fresh scones served with a raspberry jam, a strawberry jam and some sour cream (still slightly warm and quite good,) and a yummy, crunchy foursome of potato latkes (served spread with applesauce? they could have skipped that..) and drizzled with sour cream and green onion. But the plate choreography that ensued on that tiny table, juggling the serving platter, individual plates and coffee cups, became ridiculous and only got worse when our full-plated breakfasts arrived. Mom had the NY System Wiener omelet, which she enjoyed thoroughly, Deb had the blintzes (served cold.. a little unexpected and would have been preferred warm.. shouldn't they specify this on the menu?) Di had the Eggs Bun-A-Duck (unremarkable... arrived barely warm...rosemary foccacia was terribly dry and hollandaise sauce without flavor..) My Bananas Foster French Toast, however, was DELISH. The "sauce" of it was a little thick (I prefer it a little looser) but was otherwise all I'd hoped for in my meal. So - about 70:30 success rate on the food - but the real kick in the butt came as we watched the time tick by and those 12 seats in the other room remained empty for the 1.5 hours we were there... It wasn't until we were putting on our coats to leave that the party of 12 started trickling in.. So, Duck & Bunny, you turned people away from that dining room at 10:00am for a party that was not expected for another hour and a half? During Brunch? I could understand if it were 6:00pm Dinner but could you not have offered us a table there with the condition that it must be available at 11:30? It all left a very bad taste in my mouth and, while you didn't charge us for Mom's candlelit Birthday Cupcake (or was that just an oversight?) it might be some time (if ever) that I can recommend you to another.

    Woah, for those of you with a sweet tooth, this will be a treat. Tons of fresh and creative cupcakes that rotate daily and a nice selection of crepes. Their coffee drinks are good too!

    I've lived in Providence for over a decade and I had never eaten here. A friend dragged our group here for an early dinner and I have to say I absolutely loved it. The decor is different and beautiful. The food, AMAZING! I loved my salad and the goat cheese on top of it was the freshest and creamiest goat cheese I've ever had. The cucumber lemonade was wonderfully refreshing and perfect. This place is now one of my favorite spots in Providence. We'll be back soon for a mid afternoon tea with cupcakes. P.S. Don't forget to order a flower pot of the truffle pomme frites, they're to die for!

    This is a unique experience in Providence, and that's what makes this place special. Great crepes and sandwiches, a huge selection of tea--white, black, chai, rooboi, etc.--wine, beer, and soda, mixed drinks like mimosas, and of course some amazing cupcakes. The cupcakes when I went yesterday were lavender butter-cream, peanut butter and chocolate, banana bread filled with chocolate topped with banana frosting, vegan chocolate, peppermint patty-filled, chocolate with mocha frosting and powdered espresso bean, and several others. Great selection for sure. Some people have commented about the atmosphere being weird, but I actually kind of like it. It's pretty quirky, just be prepared for that (there are plenty of places in Providence that are similarly odd). One thing I wouldn't recommend getting here is a full-on dinner. Basically, the menu is a giant appetizer menu. The crepes are pretty full meals, and the salads are nice big portions (lots of delicious choices here), but you're not going to have a typical meal here. But that's what makes it great. My girlfriend and I often go here to get a little work done--she's an artist and I'm a poet--and we typically order a crepe or the cheese platter (which I highly recommend) and each get a tea (they give you a whole pot) and sit there for a couple hours. Think of it as a glorified cafe. The best cafe I've eaten at in the whole city.

    My review is for cupcakes only as we have not yet have any of the crepes. I am an avid baker and bake alot of cupcakes myself. I was excited to try this place based on the reviews. However, I was left quite disappointed. My boyfriend and I both agreed the frostings were good but the cupcakes themselves were extremely dry. So dry that I couldnt even finish it, and i always finish cupcakes! We tried 5 different ones and the only one i truly enjoyed was the brownie mint surprise..which is a brownie and not technically a cupcake. I may come again to check out the crepes but I will steer clear of the cupcakes, not worth 2.75!

    I came here cause I heard their cupcakes were amazing... but they were ok.. the chocolate flavors were too sweet for my liking and the red velvet wasn't up to my expectations. But they do have a mini cupcake deal which is really nice if you want to sample all of the flavors first for yourself.

    Great environment for a nice, intimate meal. Went with a friend of mine I hadn't seen in a while for dinner and got a table out back on their lighted patio. The ambience was so cute and inviting, making the great food even more enjoyable. I ordered the creperito and my friend the crepechini (pasta made out of crepe noodles) and both were absolutely fabulous. Only think I found a bit weird was that their "cocktails" are all made with prosecco or wine and they do not have liquor. That being said their drinks were great as is and so were the cupcakes we had for dessert!
