Sophie's

I tried Sophie's Coffee for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised. Sophie's is located on the South County Trail in Exeter. It's about five miles from the URI campus, but has a more rural feel than most of the coffee shops in the Narragansett area.

Sophie's certainly has a lot to offer. They have an assortment of coffee flavors, including Snickerdoodle and Toffee Coffee. Sophie's also has sandwiches with vegetarian options. Finally, Sophie's has an ice cream bar -- an unexpected bonus in a coffee shop.

Although I am not very familiar with the Exeter area, (from a Rhode Islander's perspective, this is considered the boonies) I could tell that Sophie's is a favored destination among locals. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic. My friend and I did some homework there and were accompanied by two moms who had brought their kids there after school. They were having a casual meeting while the kids played with some of the toys offered in Sophie's. This kid-friendly, comfortable coffee shop is worth the adventure to "the sticks."
