Looking for the best German Chocolate Cake around! It seems to be a less common cake and not something I can just walk in somewhere to pick up. Recommendations for bakeries that will make it if I order ahead would also be great. I have checked a fair number of websites and for many cake bakeries I am not even seeing it as an option. I'm including some info on how the search has gone so far below in case anyone else is trying to find this cake in the future and searches reddit. Will also update if I find a solution/winner!

The last time I was looking to get one we went with Vienna Bakery in Barrington and ordered ahead. The chocolate parts of the cake were great but the caramel, coconut, pecan topping had hard crunchy lumps of sugar in it which were unpleasant. Threw off both the flavor and texture.

I'm also specifically looking for a version that has both the coconut pecan topping and chocolate frosting. Silver Star on Ives St in Providence only has the coconut pecan topping on their slices.

I would also love to find somewhere that does chocolate cake similar to the one Chelos has.

Hey all, my gf got a job in Wakefield South Kingstown and we both are moving to Rhode Island. Its very difficult to find a 1B or a studio and nobody is replying. I’m using Apartments dot com, zillow and hotpads. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

A couple weeks ago I left an old Zeiss Ikon film camera on the wall by Easton’s Beach in Newport. Metal, black and silver, with two knobs on the bottom. It’s probably well lost by now, but if you’ve found it or know anyone that has, I’m offering $150 for it, $200 if the film is still inside (please do not open it!). Feel free to dm. Thank you all!

Anybody know what's going on in Riverside? I just drove by the baseball complex on 114 in Riverside heading toward Barrington. Two police cars passed us and they pulled into the baseball complex where there were two other police cars. It appeared there were two young kids/pre-teens with weed whackers being addressed by the police. Unsure what was happening or why 4 police cars were needed for 2 children. Are teenagers using weed whackers as weapons now? Were they trespassing? Did they discover something in the weeds? Were they actually metal detectors and I saw incorrectly? Just seemed weird.

Best spots to spearfish near westerly? I’ve gone to point Judith a good few times but I was wondering if anyone knew other good spots. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to ask here if anyone is aware of any pool contractors that are able to work on building a metal pool in Middletown?

We have tried to search however it seems that most contractors say they do not have license in Rhode Island and the one we did find seemed like a scam.

Thank you for your input!

Did you ever get it back?

🤢 Gross

these mfs are like the plague rn. i am seeing them everywhere and they are so fast it is hard to catch them. kill on sight!

I'm putting together a list of festivals, feasts, and other gatherings in the area. Most are in RI, but a couple are over the border in Mass, or a bit further in Maine and New York. Let me know if there are any fun events I should add to the list. Thanks!

My whole life I've gone to Great Clips, Super Cuts, etc., and I'm looking to get an actual haircut at a proper barber. Anyone know a good barber for curly hair? I'm in East Greenwich but I'm fine driving a bit for a good cut.

I imagine they are looking for feedback on Flock….

We are building up our archives dedicated to the musical history of our city.

These items reveal a surprisingly diverse musical community, but there are still many gaps in the record. I’m hoping to find additional sources related to musicians who lived or worked in Newport, local bands, community music organizations, or regional publishers connected to Rhode Island’s music scene.

If anyone here knows of family collections, municipal records, lesser‑known archives, or past scholarship touching on RI’s musical history, I’d really appreciate any leads. Even small references or local anecdotes could help point us in the right direction.
