We take our sandwiches seriously here in Rhode Island, and we’re not just talking about lobster rolls (although we love them, too). So when we hear about an award-winning sandwich shop, we have no choice but to investigate. And if you have yet to try to tasty sandwiches and addictive smoothies at Cowabunga, we highly recommend you change that as soon as possible. This place takes lunch to a whole new delicious level.

Cowabunga is located in Wakefield, the tiny village in the town of South Kingstown.
