Seven Stars Bakery

I have been to this place and brought friends here more times than I can count. It’s a little pricey, but I figured that was a combination of the in-house baking and paying their employees well. The staff is excellent, I have never had a bad interaction. Recently, I found out that they lowered the staff’s wages to $9 once they saw how substantial tipping was during the pandemic. It seems that they spin it as a position that pays $15/ hour when they’re only paying $9- they count on customers who think they’re tipping above a living wage for excellent service to make up the rest.

I had such a lovely experience at 7 stars. The person who worked with me was incredibly patient and helpful as I was very indecisive about what treats I should get for my family for thanksgiving. He also went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed the Chai latte I got after it came up : . I was so disappointed to hear that employees like the wonderful one I was working with are paid less than those at other coffee shops and bakeries in the area, although they offer superior service. That was my only complaint about my experience these wonderful employees deserve better!

What can I say? I have been visiting this place since I moved to Providence 15 years ago and still come back at least twice a week. I love the relaxed, cozy atmosphere and the very friendly and helpful staff. My kids have grown up coming to Seven Stars for hot chocolate and pastries and meeting friends. The bread is excellent as are the pastries. I do wish there was a wider range of breads that are not sourdough based, but that doesn't detract from my overall review.

3 stars because of the great help and okay scones at this Seven Stars. Unfortunately the “hot” beverages are never hot. They are barely lukewarm. Si I find I rarely go here because I like my hot coffee hot and my hot tea to be hot hot. You can’t get a hot beverage here. It’s frustrating.

This used to be a great bakery. Sadly they are becoming more commercial now and the quality isn’t what it used to be. The last 3 pastries I’ve ordered from her have a burnt flavor. My almond croissant was flat and stale. This may just be the management at the rumford location.
