My co-workers and I ordered lunch from here and it was wonderful. The service from Gabriela was amazing. We ordered two turkey clubs and two chicken Caesar wraps. Both were bigger than we expected and everything was good so well. Also got a protein shake which will be a new staple. Highly recommend this place and the people who run in. Wonderful spot thanks !

The new wieners were phenomenal, the perfect amount of mustard, love the chopped onions, the celery salt was to die for, and the bun was nice buttery and soft. Literally can devour a dozen that's how good they are. I wish I could share photos, but they were all gone before I could take a snap of it.

The food and drinks here were absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Do not be fooled by the outer appearance, this is truly a hidden gem.

We stopped by the wagon to get some weiners today. Great service by the guys, very kind. Weiners are bomb, we also tried the chilli to dip our fries in. Great chilli with fixings on top. Overall great experience and we will be going again!

1st time trying this spot out, i can say i was well impressed. The hot weiners were great. Definitely recommended, especially if you don't want to drive in Olneyville Providence. Plus this location is a closer commute.

After driving by a couple times i finally had a chance to stop in with my husband and enjoy some weenies. I’m sure glad i did i was greeted by 2 friendly employee's. Great costumer service. We decided to eat at the picnic tables… ? Danielle brought out plates and extra napkins for me and my husband👍🏼 shout out to the cook joey my steak sandwich was on point and my chili cheese fries were sooooo good . Definitely will be a regular.

Staff are very nice. Menu is coffee, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, ice cream. The layout is the most bizarre I’ve seen. Outdoor covered picnic tables, a semi-covered outdoor area, and then random furniture in a garage-like area which is attached to what is essentially a show room for the adjacent business. The black and red exterior does not give a cafe (or ice cream) vibe. Will definitely be back to check out their food offerings. Don’t let that dissuade you from checking the place out, it’s in a very convenient location, and as stated above, the staff are very nice
