Bodega on Smith

The Bodega has something for vegans and non vegans (aka meat eaters ) to enjoy. I tried a vegan Cubano sandwich the first time we visited the place, and a Reuben vegan this time...loved them! The coffee is very good as well. They also have the "normal" version of those sandwiches. The Bodega is not a fully vegan restaurant, in fact it is a mix of convenience store with tables and a great atmosphere and friendly staff; this is a great place to come with your non-vegan relatives/friends (we all know someone like that, oh well 😄) for breakfast or lunch. Pros: Many vegan options, friendly staff, delicious vegan sandwiches. Great coffee. Cons: Closes at 6 pm

Stopped by Bodega on Smith St. In Providence. Had the itilian grinder, the grinder was good, but there was some room for improvement. (I noticed a Boarshead sign that may have something to do with it) No hot cap, no hot pepers, and chopped lettuce. Also, the bread could have been fresher as well. The young lady behind the counter was very pleasant and helpful. There was plenty of street parking, and they have a small lot in the back. This place has a good vibe to it. You can sit and watch the people and the cars go by. There is also an outside dining area you can enjoy at the rear of the building. Bodega is worthy of a visit. I witnessed a meatball sub being crafted during my visit. It looked delicious. That will be next up. I will return in a week or two. Till next time.

GREAT! I love when a place is comfortable. Several nice couches inside. Highly recommend. The bar area is perfect for dates; nice and romantic; good place to have a conversation. They even have Spaghetti dinner on Wednesday nights where they turn off the regular lights and make it romantic lighting in there. I already can’t wait to go back. They have a ton of vegan items and gluten free too! As for the bodega side of it; they have all the little essentials that you need from like a corner store. Cleaning products, beverages, mouthwash and fun snacks like chicharron. My favorite part is the couches though. I love comfortable seating 💕✨ Definitely will be back, what a great spot

This place was not in the best area of Providence but it was a nice little deli. We had the vegan chkn parm sandwich and it was delicious. They have outdoor seating available and the employee working was very nice. I wish they had some non dairy milk options since they served coffee. Seltzer would have been great as well but they only had water and sugary drinks like soda and sweetened tea.

Came here for RI Food Fights and I chose their Cubano sandwich. It didn’t live up to my expectations as I was surprised it lacked flavor. They had a twist to a normal Cubano by having the main meat pulled pork, but it didn’t work. The pork has zero flavor and was dry. It wasn’t like a classic BBQ joint’s pulled pork. The ham was good but there was barely any - wish there was more of it. It needed more mustard as well. The ingredients were fresh and mostly homemade. The bread was pretty good also.
