Tlc Coffee Roasters - Matunuck

I have bought pound after pound of beans from this roaster. Today I had a special request — 1/4 lb of espresso beans. They refused to sell me 1/4 lb; only available as 1/2 lb or 1 lb orders. They fill the orders on site as you wait, so this shouldn’t be a problem. But apparently they would rather I go to the supermarket and buy my beans (Dave’s or whatever) there. Unbelievable.

I have driven by TLC most of my life but always in a rush to get here or there on my way down 138. The RI Food Fights coffee celebration brought me in and I k now I will be hard pressed to not stop here every time I pass by. The is an INSANE offering of flavored roasts (my preference since I don't like a lot of sugary syrups) and a diverse food menu. I tried both the coconut and smores iced coffees and was very happy with them both. I can't wait to try all of their options!

This place was great when it opened years ago. It has changed drastically! The owner was always here, the workers hustled, and the food was so fresh. The opposite of all those things are true now. Even the coffee is not as good as it was. Sub par is the most fitting review for this place that started with much higher standards The owner used to roast the coffee in the shop and you could tell by the taste how fresh it was. The food was the same. I would get the egg, chorizo, and cheese on a baguette. The sizzling chorizo would spill all over the foil wrapper, acting as a side dish when you finished the sandwich. Now the breakfast sandwiches are in a cold case on the counter so I tried new things. Two weeks ago I tried an acai bowl. I had to wait 2.5 hours for it to thaw. The fruit and acai were all frozen into each other with cold granola on top and a fresh scoop of peanut butter, the only thing extra I asked for. Even after a few hours the strawberries, blueberries, and bananas were ice in the middle. I'll try anything twice, even if it's awful. So today I got overnight oats and avocado toast. Thinking they couldn't screw that up. I was wrong! The oats were old, refrigerated days ago, almost stale tasting. The toast, I waited 15 for, thinking at least this will be nice and fresh. I took a couple steps towards the counter to ask why it was taking so long and saw a plastic container on top of the fridge that looked like it may be mine. There were at least 3 young women hiding behind the counter. I finally got the attention of one and asked if this was my avocado toast. She asked if it was in a clear plastic package, instead of taking 2 steps forward to look. I responded by describing what I saw. Bread with tomatoes on top in a clear box. She finally stepped forward, rolled her eyes, and said yeah. It turned out to be cold and disappointing as her attitude. I come here because I don't like Dunkin donuts fake food but I will choose them over this from now on. Still fave TLC 5 stars for atmosphere because it looks like what I wish it was and what it used to be. Vegetarian options: Cold and soggy Parking: Pretty easy to figure iut Wheelchair accessibility: One little bump step at threshold

Lots of good breakfast option, like coffee, bagels, sandwiches, fruit etc. It also nyummy and affordable. My fav breakfast places

My boyfriend and I were on an aimless ride through backroads when my hanger kicked in without warning! This cute little cafe appeared and we pulled in as the owner, Jill, apologetically told us they had just closed for the holiday. I asked if there happened to be anything close by…Maybe she could sense my hanger…maybe she could see the panic on my poor boyfriend’s face…or maybe she is just a super awesome human! Either way, she said “you know what, how about I grab you a few sandwiches and drinks?” We attempted to decline but she very kindly would not accept. A few minutes later she came out with two hot, fresh wraps and ice cold drinks as well as a sampling of their freshly ground coffee. She let us enjoy the cozy outdoor patio, finish our meal, told us a little about herself and her family AND let me use the restroom before we hopped back on the road! Crisis averted AND a new local haunt found! Highly recommend!!! P.S. The coffee was excellent! Thank you Jill…we will be back for sure!
