The restaurant industry has certainly faced some changes over the last year. And while most of them weren’t exactly positive, many of our Rhode Island restaurants found creative ways to make the most of things and keep delivering their delicious delicacies. We’re especially impressed by Oberlin for supplying so many Rhode Islanders with freshly baked bread.

Oberlin Restaurant is located at 186 Union Street in Providence, where it stands out even in a city filled with tasty eateries.

… but lately, it’s all about the bread share.

Oberlin / Facebook The Oberlin Bread Share program is fairly new, and it’s extremely popular. This community-supported program allows the team to meet the demand of their guests without baking too many surplus loaves.

After signing up for a subscription on the website (or paying one month at a time), just head to Oberlin every Saturday at 4 PM and pick up your bread from the restaurant’s takeout window.
