Your Favorite Rhode Island Cafe Is Baking Up Heart Shaped Bagels For Valentine's

Locals start lining up early for bagels and iced coffee at Cafe International on Oaklawn Avenue in Cranston.

If you’ve waited on that line, you probably already know it’s a terrif spot to run into current and former Cranstonites. (Or is it Cranstonians?)

They have an impressive selection of flavored coffees (from Italian Roast and Hazelnut to Cinnamon Bun, Butterfinger, and Chocolate Chip), all the bagels (Plain, Sunflower, Blueberry, Nine Grain to name a few) are baked fresh on the premises, and they even make their own cream cheese which is yummy (there’s simply no comparison with store bought) and available in plain, low fat and other flavors. (Psssst…I can’t think of anyone in the area who do housemade cream cheese. Can you?)

Another thing I adore about CI is that they always roll out some special bagels for the holidays: Red, White & Bue for July 4th. Green for St. Patty’s. Red, White & Green for Christmas.

And now RED and heart-shaped for Valentine’s.

These are going to sell out, so don’t sleep on the chance to indulge your love ❤️ of carbs this month, lol.

Find Cafe International at 675 Oaklawn Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island.
