Frank & Laurie's opened in May 2024 at 110 Doyle Ave. in Providence. Parking is available along Doyle Ave. and Camp Ave. Frank & Laurie's renovated the former Rebelle Bagel space. There are tables for two and four, long shared tables and seats at the counter bar. They can seat 40 inside and there are 2 tables for outside dining. Breakfast & lunch is available Wednesday to Sunday: 10am-3pm. Walk-ins only and no reservations.
I arrived on Saturday around 12:00pm and the hostess informed me that only outside seating was available. It was a nice cool November day so it wasn't too bad sitting outside. The menu is small and limited of breakfast and bistro dishes complemented by cocktails, wine and beer, and locally roasted coffee.
We started with the hashbrowns with smoked oyster aioli. The hashbrowns were cube shaped, crispy on the outside and shredded potatoes inside. The aioli was delicious. I had the Red Wine & Coke and breakfast sandwich. In Spain, the kalimotxo is made of equal parts red wine and Coca-Cola. I didn't have this drink in Spain but I did have Tinto de verano, it is similar to sangria and is typically made up of 1 part of table red wine and 1 part soda, usually lemonade. I liked the Red Wine & Coke; it was a bit bubbly and smooth. The breakfast sandwich was an English muffin with steamed egg, sausage, onion, and cheese. The English muffin was crunchy and gave the whole sandwich texture. The steamed egg, sausage, caramelized onion, and cheese were very fresh. My husband had the soup of the day which was a honeynut squash soup and the Ham & Butter sandwich. He thought the honeynut squash soup would be a little thicker. The Ham & Butter sandwich was good, but it was pretty normal. Liam was our server and he was friendly and attentive.
