I came here hoping the thread was about the movie Outside Providence.

Very disappointing.

Only if Silvio Dante doesn't buy it first.

I think that's just their ice cream, and which is probably for the best, because it would be detrimental to my health to be closer to their cakes and pastries

The Social enterprise greenhouse hub space is pretty cool. Def one of the more affordable local offerings

Shit wrong answer I guess.

You don’t have a lot going on in your life at the moment, do you?

For real. That was my favorite spot in the city.

District Hall is another space. You can reserve private space or use the open space for free.

There's also another District Hall in Seaport District in Boston if that's valuable to you.

Dreading a big blizzard right at the end like we got last time we had a winter with this much lack of snow.

I’ve had some experience with CIC about a year ago. It has some nice amenities, but can be pricey.

His credibility of course 😂

Scialo's is great for many pastries (I go there maybe once a week for hermits), but I'm not sure I'd rank their Boston cream pie among the best.

I would go with, as others have suggested, either Gregg's (it's enormous and you don't even have to pre-order) or Wright's Dairy Farm.

I haven't been to Wright's Providence satellite shop, but you can always call and ask. If you do end up having to go to North Smithfield, you won't regret it. There's so much good food there you'll gain weight just by looking at it.

We love a Union!

My wife loved Sprout until she moved out of Providence

no

I don't think you've really addressed anyone's points. You've just sidestepped them or ignored them. It's weird because you're caping for....nobody?

Anyone who asks where to buy widgets in Providence and gets told "Oh, try Widgets, Widgets, Widgets on Bald Hill Road" can say "Thanks, but I don't have a car so that might be a little tricky for me. Is there anywhere much closer?" then someone old can chime in how there used to be a Widgets R Us downtown but it closed down when the landlord sold the building and now it's luxury condos or some shit.

The net result is helpful. People know where things are and where they aren't. The answer either is or isn't useful to the original poster and the people who read it.

Nobody is harmed except for the owner of Widgets R Us but they closed down in 1996, so he's probably dead by now.

And the only person upset by all of this is you.

It’s slightly possible you could get it at their new Providence spot - like a preorder pickup there? Their stuff is so good.

Idk, I think the Providence Metro Area is kinda implied with those types of questions. Even if not, a relevant suggestion outside of the OP's boundaries can still be helpful for others.

Like the 🚨Thai Food Emergency🚨 post for yesterday...OP did say "in Providence", but the not-technically-Providence suggestions are better for me.

The downtown branch of the Providence Public Library underwent a huge rennovafion a few years ago and it has plenty of work spaces that are more cozy than your average coffee shop without the pressure of having to buy something. Can’t recommend it enough.

then why are you continuing to belabor your point, especially when i do an adequate job of responding to your questions? if i am being clear then why are you asking me follow up questions when you feel as though i haven’t addressed your points? i couldn’t care any less about the downvotes, internet points are not my intention of being on this board.

If you can make the journey, Wright's Dairy Farm makes excellent Boston cream pie

The entire premise of this thread is intentionally obtuse so it's pretty fucking laughable. Look at the response from every person that isn't you. Not the majority of people. Every. Single. Person.

Multiple people have made the same points and you've been given a handful of reasons why those recommendations are not "unhelpful" at all.

Reddit Karma is a little silly but when every followup effort you've made is getting multiple downvotes and people pushing back get the opposite, it's not you doing a poor job explaining yourself. You just made a bad point and nobody agrees with you.

Check out Gregg's! I think their Boston Cream Pie is delish

Climate change anxiety really cramps my enjoyment of beautiful days like these :/

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy
