Character’s Cafe & Theatre 82

I love their breakfast! The décor here is really artsy and fun. I really love the jazz music on Sunday’s! The staff is great. I would definitely come back and try other things!

Amazing place! They play live Jazz on Sundays! I just love their Nutella French toast and the «Plot with a twist» blueberry French toast is awesome. I can’t say enough to good things about this place. Great portion sizes!

I really like this place. It’s one of the cheaper breakfast places around and serves good food. There was one time my pancake was a little undercooked and they gave me a voucher for a free breakfast (which they didn’t have to do at all, I was just happy with a new pancake). We’ve always been treated nicely here and will be coming back for many more years: D

The only place I go to get breakfest. The coffee is good.
I hope they keep the standards!

Excellent breakfast in a creative outlet! So many options to choose from. Gluten free toast, pancakes. Sugar free syrup. Artistic décor and colorful atmosphere. Theatre inside. Super friendly staff. Crazy prices for breakfast options that come with toast and awesome home fried potatoes. Great coffee. Free sidewalk parking.
Check out the lovely photos.
Slowly revitalizing part of Cranston with growing nearby businesses and shops. Will become hip in the near future.
Close to Chinese American Market and next to Jerusalem Market.

The restaurant is run by a theater which connects to the stage. They have different plays/​shows all the time.
I love this place for breakfast!!! You get to pick your seat and be seated right away. The staff is friendly like family and is always working hard. You can see where they are cooking and they keep a very clean cooking area. The food comes out fast and hot. The pancakes are fluffy and delicious! (Try getting chocolate chip pancakes and squeeze the fresh orange slice on them). The home fries are grilled (not deep fried) with sautéed onions and spices. You can order a la carte or by the meal which have cute theater based names for the entrée. The menu features breakfast and lunch with daily specials including homemade muffins, breads, omelets, and mixed drinks. Prices are so reasonable too. I love coming here!
They also do shows/​plays which you can get a schedule of what’s coming up inside the restaurant or online. I Plan on going to see one soon!
Look on their website for awesome kid party ideas such as themed parties with face painting with crafts. Kid and adult art classes that run about 4 weeks long.
Makes for a really unique and artful establishment!

Just saw Theater 82’s production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters. Quite simply it was a wonderful play, deftly acted by the roughly dozen of actors who were all outstanding. It was obviously a bright group of diverse, talented actors who all get along and challenge each other to be excellent. The café /​theater is tucked away in Cranston’s Rolfe Square, but well worth the trip. Check them out.

I have seen a few plays here (& also a few doors done at a black box theatre also part of the Artist Exchange) and I ha e enjoyed these pieces. Nice to see local thespians and some of the plays have been written by local playwrights. It’s is always nice to support local artists & small venues.
