Smithfield Welcomes Brewology as Northern RI’s Most Preferred Hotspot By: Nina DiNobile At any given time, seven days a week, Aria Amico can be found working in a variety of capacities at “Brewology,” to pitch in and do whatever it takes to support her staff at a cafe/lounge in Smithfield that has become very popular in a very short period of time. Brewology is referred to as a cafe/lounge because that’s exactly what it is, and the same patrons that frequent Brewology during the daytime can often be found enjoying the night scene at this lively, yet comfortable new establishment. Along with co-owners, Mike Dipalma, Albert Gizzarelli, and Arthur Paone, Aria scoped the state for an area that would best suit their new endeavor, to provide a unique social experience to the surrounding communities and eventually landed in a very active business area of Smithfield, at an easy to access plaza on Cedar Swamp Road. First opening their doors on March 24th of this year, one would think it would take some time to become a community hotspot, but at Brewology it happened much sooner than anyone could have anticipated. There is no doubt that it is because of the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, along with their delicious coffee choices and flavors. The coffee at Brewology is flavored by the bean itself.
Those flavors include french roast, banana hazelnut, caramel toffee, french vanilla, cinnamon sensation, hazelnut, coconut cream pie, and mudslide. While offering a variety of coffees by day and cocktails by night, Brewology’s atmosphere is intimate and cozy for patrons of all ages. Nowadays, young people especially, are quite particular about the type of coffee they prefer, and Brewolgy offers a menu of drinks that will satisfy every palate. During the hours of and 6am and 4 pm, Monday thru Friday and 7am to 4pm on the weekends, you will find patrons in full conversation, relaxing on the large leather couches, while sipping on their preferred type of iced or hot coffee, protein shake, latte, cappuccino, mochaccino, chai tea, or thick and flavorful smoothie. The daytime food menu consists of light fare, all made freshly on site and which partners perfectly with their variety of tempting drinks. Some of the popular fare are their huge muffins and bagels, to a customer favorite, avocado toast, to sandwiches and a choice of three types of Acai bowls, chock full of the healthy Acai fruit, topped with sweet strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and other ingredients of your choosing such as peanut butter, coconut, honey, and topped with a perfect amount of crisp granola. At 4pm each day, the doors at Brewology close, but not for long. At 6pm, the cafe transforms into a lounge with a well stocked bar where martinis, cocktails, wine, and beer are served, as well as light bites and desserts. It’s not uncommon to see people mingling, some being friends who are sharing some laughs over a specialty drink, and then there are others meeting for the first time and getting to know each other with good conversation.
