The 50 best coffee shops and best cafes in Providence

Really great coffee shop in Providence area. About a 10-15 minute walk from the Brown University campus. The vibes inside are amazing being the shop is an old house. Lots of coffee options to try, along with teas and sweet treats for sale. They also sell many different types of beans you can buy.

Good place to work on a laptop or meet up with friends. A little difficult to park around here but they have a lot in the back! :) I love their caramel latte here. Not very bitter, not super aromatic. Just good coffee. I used to love their pasteis de nata but I don’t believe they still sell those here. Not the most comfortable chairs but they’re not terrible

This place has the best coffee I have ever tasted!! I also had a latte and it was exquisite! I love trying new coffee shops but keep coming back here because nothing has topped it yet. Both indoor and outdoor seating and they has a large list of bean roasts, teas, and a variety of baked goods. Great place to do work during the week or have a coffee date with a friend! Its a pretty popular place so time is limited to 1 hour at a table on the weekends.

Great source of coffee beans to fuel my caffeine needs. I wish they had more earthy and chocolatey flavor profiles, it seems that their selection usually involves a lot of fruit and citrus. But that's a matter of personal taste and I have found my reliables and those haven't disappointed so far

Our absolute favorite coffee spot! My fiancé and I have been coming to coffee exchange for so long and it never disappoints! We get vanilla lattes and since we moved we still haven’t found anywhere that compares. The baristas always know our names/orders and are the nicest people!! We moved 20 mins away but still try to come here on some weekends because it’s SO worth it. -John & Kenzie

As good as it gets! Have been going to coffee exchange since I was little. Most recently, the team (Casey, specifically!) displayed the most kindness and generosity I have ever seen from a business — big and small alike. If you’re looking for the highest quality coffee and the most wonderful team, look no further.

Really great cafe to work on a laptop or hang out with friends. Cozy spacious place.

We had the best experience here! This was our first time in Rhode Island so we really wanted to try the coffee milk and it was absolutely delicious! The staff, especially Joe, were extremely patient and kind, and we bought a t-shirt and some coffee syrups to bring home. Overall, definitely recommend!

The mango lemonade was delicious and did not taste artificial, which is a very difficult thing to do. The croissant, bacon, egg, and cheese was very filling and also tasted great. I also appreciate that if you spend $25 you get a free drink. I definitely recommend going here; it’s very affordable and the store itself is very cute and cozy, a great place to study or do work.

Heard to try coffee milk while I was in Rhode Island. Specifically this place. And it’s actually really good. I talked about liking it so much (and trying to find other places that tasted just as good. Which I couldn’t find anywhere) that my (now) fiance proposed with a coffee milk bouquet very cute!

What an adorable spot!! I decided to try the weekly special Frankenstein Matcha. I ordered it less sweet. I came as part of a big group and all the employees did an amazing job getting the drinks out quickly and accurately. The drink I had was terrific. The ube was sweet and creamy and perfectly sweet and the matcha was nice and earthy. Ube and taro are some of my favorite drink flavors and this was similar to a bubble tea without the boba. The menu had a lot of options that sounded terrific so I'm hoping to go back soon and try something out! I saw they can add a homemade marshmallow and/or a maple whipped cream to any drink and those are both calling my name!!

Stopped here on a whim, we were walking by and needed our caffeine fix. I love coffee shops so I was excited to check it out. I read after the fact that they make all natural, small batch, cold brewed coffee syrup that you can mix with milk to make coffee milk; a Rhode Island staple. They roast coffee beans in their 7000 sq ft roastery in Narragansett. There are two Dave's Coffee shops, one in Charlestown and one in Providence. Love supporting a small business, especially from my home state! I saw a sign right out on the sidewalk showing their specials. I had to try out their iced cardamom vanilla oat milk latte; that was perfect and I could've drank a whole gallon of it. Service was great and ambiance was that of a cozy coffee shop. The coffee was fresh and tasty. A great asset to have in RI.

The baristas here are so sweet! They made the best drinks and had a wide variety of options. My friend and I got coffee there every single day of our trip in Rhode Island. She kept getting the white chocolate hibiscus lavender matcha, and I got the sea salt coconut and honey latte! We also got the ocean latte and mango honey matcha, both of which were also great 😆🩷

Had a great latte here vanilla. Very good espresso too. There coffee is small batch roasted and you can definitely tell they take pride in their work. Great people working here also very nice and they know their coffee. Their suggestion for a whole bean coffee to go was spot on. Blind pig I'm glad I got it very good rich and smooth. Roasted 5 days prior to my purchase. Worth every penny!

I am new in town and decided to go to Seven Stars Bakery for a coffee break. The interior is so beautiful! They have this little outside space to sit and sip. It was beautified with gorgeous plants. The employees were super nice! They recommended that I try lavender cappuccino, and It was AMAZING. The coffee was warm, not hot, that I usually prefer, and they didn't have WiFi, which was pretty odd. Overall, I loved the vibe of that place!

Got a bacon, egg, and cheese and a pumpkin spice iced latte here. Coffee was made perfectly and breakfast sandwich was much needed. We also got a chocolate crossaint that was delicious. So fresh, could definitely tell it was made that morning. Great food, fast service, convenient area, really cute/high-end look inside. Very cute cafe for working or catching up with friends.

Was passing through town and stopped by for a bite. What a pleasant surprise! The food was absolutely delicious and the ambience and service was also great. There were many great pastry and sandwich options — it was hard to choose! Went with a cappuccino, egg and broccoli sandwich, and cheddar scone. Will definitely return next time I’m in town.

We were recommended this bakery by a friend after visiting the Children's Museum. What a gem. We are so happy that we came upon it. We ordered coffee and some baked goods. We sat in the magical garden outside and the birds kept us company. Our son ordered the wrong cookie and the employee gave us a new one on the house. What exceptional customer service! We are so grateful and will definitely return!

I was driving back from Boston to NYC and stopped by this nice bakery. Very good selection and high quality baking there. Their ice coffee is great and very smooth with distinctive coffee taste. I tried the chocolate croissant and the cream cheese spread with on the walnut raisin toast, delicious.

Love this place. Discount if you bring your own cup. Customer point system. Really like the baked goods and the ham and cheese quiche. Black tea is good. Their version of Oreos are fun. Free loaf of bread on your birthday.

Stopped by to pick up pastries for some friends. The kouignn-amann were delicious, as were the ham and chees croissant and the cheddar scone. Can't really comment on the service since I only picked up an online order

Nitro bar is the best! It’s always packed but even waiting in the line, always worth it! I pray they keep the caramelized banana latte for ever! It’s the best coffee beverage I’ve ever had! The pesto smash breakfast is always delicious and so is the pizza bagel!

Omg the caramelized banana matcha with the whipped maple cold foam is INSANE also the Italian pizza bagel with hot honey is so good. This place is so worth the hype !!! Employees are so nice and work hard

I came here once before and got a matcha and have to say that I was a bit disappointed—it was very milky. I came back and tried the chai, however, and it was fantastic. I love that it was on tap, very quirky. I also got the smash sandwich on a plain bagel and it was great, lots of good flavors and a good lunch. The seating is a little awkward because they only have counter spaces and it’s a a tight squeeze but there’s lots of outdoor seating for the warmer weather.

First time seeing a long line for a place in Providence. 30 minute wait… but it was worth it. We got the famous Caramelized Banana latte and the Strawberry matcha, and both were fantastic. Caramelized Banana Latte – Had a banana milk latte I loved last week, so I was curious how this would compare. This ended up being one of the best flavored lattes I’ve had in recent memory. The syrup was sweet but complex—layered with two distinct types of bitterness: a toasty edge from the caramelization and a smooth, lingering bitterness from the nitro shot. That tiny shot really stood out in terms of quality. Will definitely come back just for their nitro cold brew. Strawberry Matcha – Always a fan of MEM Tea matcha, and they used it well here. What made it special was the reduced milk ratio, which allowed the matcha to stand out a bit more without being drowned in creaminess. The result was a much cleaner aftertaste, more like an iced tea than a milk-heavy latte. After trying the best matcha of my life at 12 Matcha last week, I wasn’t sure this would impress me, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. Pesto Smash – Hard to go wrong with a Pesto, cheese, and tomato on a breakfast sandwich. Just wish the bread had been toasted a bit more for extra texture. Still very satisfying.

One of the best coffees I’ve had in New England! Definitely worth all the hype and attention. Yes, they’re known for their more extravagant sugary drinks but they always seem to rotate the menu with the seasons and trends which keeps it interesting and also the basic Nitro Cold Brew is my favorite just as is. The line gets long of the weekends so i recommend getting there super early or later in the afternoon on a week day. The workers are always so kind and welcoming. I wish they had a section for indoor seating but they’re a fairly new business so I believe they’ll get there. Overall, dedicated to their craft and a great for grab and go, I will never visit rhode island without visiting this spot :)

I was going to give them 4 stars, but after going through my thoughts I dropped it to 3. I’d like to start with that the service was great. They’re wonderful workers who were very helpful. I tried the caramelized banana latte. I knew it would be sweet, but it was just so, so sweet you can’t even taste the coffee. I can’t even tell you if the coffee is good quality or not, because it’s so overpowered by the added flavors. I can see this being very appealing to people who love the dessert coffees from Starbucks and other places, but I feel there’s a way to have more balance between the sweetness and the flavor of coffee. My husband got the avocado toast. The bread was delicious, but the avocado was very sour and quite salty. Probably just too much vinegar/lemon and salt to keep it from browning. Again, could definitely be for someone, just not me. The atmosphere could be quite cute, but because it’s a popular brand in the area, it got very full very quickly as we were finishing up. Again, not their fault. It’s just because they’re popular, but it really does diminish the atmosphere. Finally, ungodly expensive. The smallest little cup is $8 for a latte. It’s probably to keep people from coming because they’re too busy to keep up, but it’s just unsightly. I will probably never be back, even if I visit the area again. Who this place is for: those who like novel dessert coffees and don’t mind paying a bit more for the uniqueness

This place bums me out lately. We used to come almost every day and fill our growlers once a week if not more. Whole staff seems new, curious what happened to the people that regulars really loved, and twice this week I’ve paid full price for a drink to be skimped on… unfilled growler, so much foam and it comes home like this, or the raspberry chip with no chocolate in it and then a super rude response when asked to add it. I’ve been coming here since it opened, and while their viral success makes sense to me because the product is fantastic, the experience and the cost don’t feel worth it anymore.

I love biking and this is the perfect stop on the most beautiful bike path in the state. Great London fog. Not too sweet. Perfectly strong (and they removed the tea bag so it didn’t over steep and get bitter without my needing to ask - which I love. That’s the right way) they also have “for here” cups in case you don’t like to drink out of plastic or make trash. (Or want to take it with you on the bike) Highly recommend.

Really, really good latte. I wish they stayed open longer (close at 2pm). They have dine in mugs available, which is always a plus. Every table was occupied, but it was also a rainy day so might be more open space in better weather. Would definitely go back for the coffee at least.

What a cool little coffee shop in the perfect area. It’s right next to a bike path and and intersection of several streets with plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. The staff seems very friendly and they have a lot of food on offer as well as baked goods and obviously coffee. Cold brew was great and the ambience was wonderful. I visited early morning on a weekday and it seemed as if there were a good number of locals coming in for their morning cup. I will definitely be back here often.

This is a perfect place to stop on your East Bay Bike Path bike ride, run, or walk. The cold brew and cappuccino are both solid. You can enjoy your drinks in their outside seating area. Most people put their bikes next to the fence that sections off the seating area so that it’s easy to keep an eye on their bikes. If you put your bike next to the part of the fence furthest from the cafe building, there is plenty of shade to keep your bike cool. The bathroom is clean and very helpful since the section of the East Bay Bike Path closet to Providence has fewer accessible restrooms.

Tried Borealis for the first time. Went with a large latte (20 oz) with a maple flavor shot and macadamia Creamer. A little pricey, but thought it was good. Service was good as well, two coffees came out in a minute or two. I'd stop in again, but more of a splurge than a frequent flyer.

Awesome egg sandwiches and Cortados! Loved that they had a nice outdoor seating for the nice weather. They were out of the biscuits so we will have to go back for an egg sandwich on those. We went back, can confirm they are awesome.

I used to enjoy stopping here off the bike path, nice staff and good coffee, but for the past month homeless people have made the outside their new home. Asking for change and giving stares like they're waiting for an opportunity. The staff doesn't seem to care as the number of homeless people around the shop seems to increase. Just doesn't feel safe anymore and has ruined the experience for me. Unfortunately will be going elsewhere from now on.

The breakfast sandwich rests amazingly good. The Lattes on the other hand is on the light side. It has a taste of dates, which is quite interesting. Small but clean and quiet cafe shop. Friendly servers.

The coffee and food here is amazing! I had a bacon and egg sandwich on gluten free bread with avocado, and an oat milk latte with apple syrup. Just WOW! Hubby had the same, but on a brioche bun with cheddar cheese and a Cortado. I highly recommend this place! It was clean, and the barista (Frankie) was so nice and helpful! Being gluten and dairy free sometimes has its problems. But not here! The music was a tad loud, but maybe I’m just getting old 😂will come back for sure!

Small cafe. I love these windows all these stores have. It is great for a nice day to sit inside and still get fresh air. They also have seating outside. For dairy free or vegan options they only had oat milk. Not the best coffee I’ve had in town. But it’s not bad. Severely overpriced for average.

Their Coffee has a really nice flavor, a bit less intense and more smooth than Blue Bottle coffee. Also better than Starbucks. Get the mocha, it rocks (has 2 shots of espresso). A place for serious coffee lovers. They sell fair trade coffee beans as well. 3 locations in Providence. Local business owner. Great staff. Came for their breakfast sandwich on a brioche and asked for gluten free bread option and they had it for a buck more. Added the pork belly for 3 bucks more and whoa it’s my go to breakfast sammy now. Gluten bread is usually the texture of cardboard but this sandwich was perfection. 10 out of 10! They have free wifi and plenty of tables w outlets for work space mix up. Cool vibe overall. Their new rice bowls with chicken are bomb. 🔥

It was my first time trying bolt coffee. I got a 20oz mocha and matcha. Both had no flavor in it. The matcha especially was so disappointing because it was expensive and it tasted like milk. Im not sure if they’re using actual matcha or matcha flavoring but the cafe needs to make the matcha better. The mocha was also disappointing. I personally love mocha and it was horrible. It did not have a mocha taste as i could not taste the coffee or the chocolate in it. Very disappointing. Honestly this place is not worth the price due to the quality of the drinks. The nitro bar has better drinks than bolt. Im never coming to this place again.

Beautiful shop with delicious food and coffee. Service was quick and baristas were so kind and friendly!!

Stopped here and at another well-reviewed shop in the neighbourhood. I typically get an americano—black or with dairy milk—when I want to sample their beans and decide whether it’s a shop that will be notable for me. From first sip, I loved the uniqueness of the coffee, as it had not only the kind of complex and nutty flavours I prefer but also a bouquet that was slightly floral and citrusy, not in an overwhelming way. I knew immediately that the other shop’s coffee would not compare, as this type of flavourful bean is not a common find.

Love this place! The staff is always incredibly friendly. The vibes are amazing. They have THE BEST homemade pickles!!! I wish they sold jars of them. 🤤🤤🤤 Highly recommend with a sandwich and coffee. So good!!

It's a place with a really cool vibe. I had an egg sandwich, and it was very good. Also, at the time I was there paintings of a local painter named Joe Marchesi were on the display. The paintings are pretty good, go check them out if you are in the neighborhood.

Cool artsy spot; great sandwiches (love it that you can opt for a pickle instead of chips!), good coffee. The spot is very popular so prepare for quite a bit of a wait

What a great place! The atmosphere is fantastic -- can just relax and enjoy the space, I can imagine doing a lot of writing here. The service was kind. And the coffee was delicious too (regular black coffee and a latte). The bagel was wonderful, with a good texture and tons of flavor. Overall, my only gripe is that I did not come sooner!

Went for lunch, had a sandwich on a garlic bagel. Fresh, delicious, and generously filled. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The latte was very good too

Came here in the morning and got some pastries which were pretty good and ordered a black sesame latte hoping it would be as good as the one I had in NYC. Unfortunately, the latte fell short. The black sesame syrup was way too sweet but I would give it a 2nd chance for regular coffee if I'm ever in the area as the staff was generally nice.

Eclectic local shop! Inspiring story of a workers owned spot here in Providence. Didn’t even know about this model until I learned about it from this place. Friendly staff. Love how they share local resources on their board. Clean environment, even their bathroom is cute! Lol Delicious Macha as well as everything else I’ve tried here such as their chocolate croissants and iced lattes with honey! 😋

A place where you can actually work and enjoy good matcha and more! They have wine and cocktails too! Worth a try if you’re having a tough day or just want to experience good food and drinks with a friendly atmosphere. Hard to find parking so walk if you’re nearby. Good onigiri and tayaki!

I got an hojicha latte and it was pretty good. I didn’t realize you had to order sweetener as an additional add-on as other places I’ve visited usually include maple syrup. One of the bartenders was kind enough to add some for me. Beautiful, bright interior!

I would definitely recommend Ceremony to people looking to get an intentionally-made matcha in Providence. They have an extensive menu and seem to follow trends and seasons well. The set up is good for studying or conversation but I found the music to be a but loud. The matcha came out to $7.29 which is a bit steep but again, worth the experience.

I ordered the iced latte with the espresso bear and it was honestly one of the best coffees I’ve had in Rhode Island. The teddy bear was such a cute and creative touch. The café is clean, hygienic, and has a great seating setup, making it perfect for both solo visits and catching up with friends. Highly recommend stopping by Ceremony College Hill!

Ordered strawberry matcha and feta bureka. Both foods were very delicious and the strawberry matcha was a good balance between sweet and rich flavors. Staff were very kind and service was prompt. Ambiance is good, moderately loud — good for chatting, and very nice for productive work.

The matcha was terrible, the matcha wasn't mixed well, full of clumps, the color and visual was nice, my friends ordered matcha sparkly peach and it was terrible, she said it tasted bitter, even after adding five packs of sweetner it was terrible. We ordered lemonade matcha and it was terrible. Overall I do not recommend this matcha place, even starbucks matcha tastes better,a nd I'm saying this as a matcha girl with a matcha station at home. The matcha tastes bland and has no flavor.

The strawberry in the Strawberry Matcha Latte was the best part of the drink because it tasted very fresh. The matcha itself was just okay; I felt like you could taste the matcha shortage. The teddy bear was cute but didn’t add anything to the drink flavor-wise, so it’s not worth the extra $2.75 if you don’t care for it. The inside of the store is nice. I liked the ceramics and merchandise that were for sale.

I love cafes, and this one is one of the most unique!!! The bagels are so close to NY bagels, and I LOVED them. The donuts were a little dry but such creative and fun flavors. Very tasty. BUT THE DRINKS🤩 I got the Matcha Guava Beet powder with soymilk. It was SO tasty!!!! It’s a very tiny space but they do a lot with it. I also love the fresh flowers 🌹. What a lovely touch!

Cute small shop great place to pause and get some work done or just grab and go. Their pastries are from Knead and the spinach artichoke croissant was delicious 🤌 their chai is more spicy than I am accustomed to so the banana in the Banana bread chai helped balance it out. Their matcha is also great!

Lovely little spot. But we felt like as soon as we walked in, we were an 'annoyance' to the barista. Her attitude kind of put us off and made us feel slightly unwelcome. Although the coffee was of good quality, my cortado was half foam, and not even filled to the top. I'm sure had it been made like normal, I would have enjoyed it even more. Overall, it seems like a great place, I just think the staff need a little more training.

Without exaggeration, this is the best coffee shop I've ever been to. Most places have either good coffee or good atmosphere, but Rise 'n Shine has both in spades! The floral capucinno and cinnamon bun are both absolutely delicious, and the historic building the shop is set up in makes for an inviting and cozy atmosphere. If you find yourself in the area and love flavored coffee drinks, I would enthusiastically encourage you to stop by and experience it for yourself!

Really good use of floral notes in lattes. Heard great things about this spot from a colleague and finally dropped by to check it out. Compared to other trendy cafes I’ve visited recently, the menu here stood out. Nothing too wild, but definitely more thoughtful. Some of the flavor combos reminded me of New England cafes that play with flavored syrups, but without the artificial notes. Everything felt more intentional, and better executed. I tried the Gardner Latte, the Blueberry Pancake Latte, and the Strawberry Pop Tart Donut. The Gardner Latte—a mix of matcha, blueberry, lavender, and petals—was the most memorable. The matcha wasn’t top-tier, but the interplay between the blueberry’s soft sweetness and the floral lavender was surprisingly balanced. I didn’t expect those flavors to pair so well with matcha, but it worked. The Blueberry Pancake Latte was a seasonal option, and I only got a few sips. It might’ve been better iced—the blueberry notes came through initially but didn’t linger, and the coffee aroma in the hot version overpowered the finish. The strawberry pop tart donut was solid. Would’ve been nicer if the strawberry jam fillings were more evenly spread, but the donut itself was still airy and soft. Even the parts without it didn’t feel too dry. The café’s tucked away in a residential area, but parking was easy—no permits needed on the street. They also have a hidden garden patio out back, so I’ll probably be back when the weather’s nicer.

First time visiting this lovely café. Absolutely felt at peace being here and the quality of the coffee and ham and cheese croissant was fantastic. Also,love how it's not overcrowded like a downtown coffee shop. Will definitely be back!

Highly recommend trying out this quaint little coffee shop! It’s within walking distance of downtown Providence and it’s nestled in a very cute neighborhood ( off of Smith-hill). It’s especially picturesque in the fall with all the changing leaves! The backyard patio also offers a beautiful scenery with some privacy as well! Aside from the decor, the coffee and pastries here are incredible as well! Given the season, I had the pleasure of trying their Pumpkin latte and it was divine! The cappuccino and blood orange with hibiscus tea were tasty as well! Can’t wait to come back to try more of their unique flavors!

DELICIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL! My new hidden gem! So easy, just placed an order online and scheduled a pickup. Boom - done and done. Not only was the cake absolutely delicious it was beautiful! So affordable! Honestly I would pay more! 10 out 10 would recommend!

We’ve been getting our cakes from Pastiche for years and we swear by it. They only get better and better with time and stay true to their commitment to quality. It elevates any event to have these scrumptious cakes. They’re a core memory for us all.

Our family love the fruit tart from here. This is the second tart we have gotten in 2 weeks. Today while my brother is eating, he saw something moving inside of his raspberry. Got my phone out a bit slow but the spider just crawled out of the raspberry onto the tart, you can see raspberry residue on one of its legs 🫠 And this was us bringing the cake back and cut up and serve right away…

My go to dessert place for years in Pvd. First you got rid of in person dinning. No more after dinner dessert and coffee with friends. But this is the worst, why why why, did you change your cannoli?! 😡 it was perfect before. Please change it back. (Response to owner) Yes, it was tiny it was loud, and you had to wait for a table forever, but it had charm and nostalgia. The new filling is completely different, I preferred the older version. I see you’re a business owner who cares about their business and you at least saw my comment and responded quickly. So I will change my review because the rest of your desserts and service are very good.

Love their desserts ! So hard to pick just one so instead you buy a few 😊 wonderful place on the Hill !

If I could rate this place a zero, I would. We walked in and the workers did not even look at us the entire time. We were trying to decide on what to get, as everyone was raving about this place. We chose the tiramisu. They gave us half of what was displayed for basically $10 after tax per slice. The workers did not even acknowledge us this whole time. All that and the tiramisu was not that great. Big disappointment with rude staff.

Iconic dessert has been a household name in Rhode Island for decades. This is my first time here but I really love this place! Pre-order online is easy and fast. Service was friendly. Bought several cakes, the Fruit Tart is still my favorite😍 will definitely comeback to RI for this tart🥹🥹🥹

I visited this cafe three days in a row during my trip to Providence, RI, with my husband. We enjoyed a variety of pastries and savory dishes. The avocado toast was unique — they blend the avocado into a smooth purée, which isn't my personal preference (I prefer a chunkier texture). Nevertheless, everything else we tried was excellent. The pastries were particularly memorable, and I especially loved the rosemary cookie — a must-try!  We also enjoyed their cappuccinos and matcha lattes. The staff was friendly and welcoming, creating a positive atmosphere. We visited around 11 AM several times, which was their busy period. There was a fairly long line, but it was worth the wait. The space itself is lovely — plenty of seating and a bright, inviting environment. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely return next time we're in Providence!

This place was a gem and easily the best place I dined during my visit to RI. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and fast. The windows for the whole place opened to the outside to let in the beautiful fall weather. Lastly the food was delish! We also shared a table with another couple and this led to lovely conversation!

Great experience at Ellie’s a nice cozy cafe in the downtown Providence area. The staff was very friendly and helpful during our visit. The coffee was good and had a tasty breakfast sandwich and delicious pastry. The rest of the menu and pastries also looked great. The cafe was clean, bright, well decorated, and had plenty of seating. Would definitely recommend to a friend or return in my next trip to Providence.

Food was excellent! Service is always exceptional; everyone is so friendly and hospitable. Love the colors and vibes, so pretty and summery. Not too many lunch options, but the ones I’ve had are delicious. Portions are a bit on the small side, especially being more expensive. Overall, wonderful experience!

One of my new favorite places in Providence! We went here on a recent Saturday around 5pm, ordered delicious espresso martinis, sat outside on the patio with the windows of the restaurant open, and listened to an awesome jazz trio playing live music inside the restaurant. There were people there having food, having drinks just listening to the music, sitting alone reading or working on their computer, talking at their table- it was a wonderful cafe/bar vibe where you could feel comfortable doing any of those things, just enjoying the afternoon and being around others. We appreciated that they could make our espresso martinis without Baileys. Their soup of the day happened to be vegan/plant-based but none of their pastries were vegan/plant-based 😥- we would have gotten a pastry if they were.

Third times a charm when rounding the building trying to find parking on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Lucky the corner window was open and we had a cozy spot to enjoy soup, scone and cookie with delicious beverages. The only complaint from my 17 year old was the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie was too heavy on the chocolate and not a good balance of oatmeal. Thanks for the lovely respite for a few Southern Californians who didn’t find any charming, delicious goody places in Warwick. Thanks.

Posting later than I would have liked. We were lucky to eat here in July, we had to queue given the popularity of the place. Service was quick and the food was great.

Phenomenal pork chop tenderloin, full stop! Don't mess around, someone at the table should get this dish. We had the scallops and the sea Bass as well, the pork chop is a level above these dishes. Smoky char, tender, juicy, and you must dip in the sauce on the plate to get the full experience. This is a must have entree at The New Rivers restaurant. Baked Alaska was good and we enjoyed the Corn cake with corn ice cream.

New Rivers was a good experience. Their menu is concise and looked like the intention was "local ingredients". I had looked at photos from others and was excited to try what they had to offer. The calimari was perfectly light and tender. Their buns were yummy. The pickles, did not have pickles, but had pickled zucchini, onions, but no actual pickles. Entrees were good, not mind blowing. Pork chops and apricots go very well together. The fritters were delicious. The char was not out of the ordinary. I think for the price, the food did not hit the mark. The drinks are great and I'll be back to try it again to see if a new seasonal menu changes my mind.

We went for dinner for a weeknight in early September. Reservations were available on short notice and missed the college parent crowds. First time here after hearing about it for a number of years. We shared a couple of appetizers and really enjoyed the cheese/charcuterie board and calamari. Calamari was crispy and sauces were delicate. Cheese board was also delicious and we liked that we could mix and match. Not many places offer pate, so we enjoyed having that as an option. The gnudi dish was the best of the evening. They’re something between a small dumpling and gnocchi, and were so incredibly tender! Sauce was very delicious and we highly recommend trying this dish. Entrees were okay, but not amazing. They’re known for their burger but I found it lackluster. Saddest part was the French fries were soft and tasteless. Burger meat was drier than it should be; likely too much fat rendered off during cooking. Bun had no integrity and didn’t hold up to the burger. Pork loin was good, but serving size was extremely small for an entree. There were only 3 slices of pork on the dish. Desserts were simple and well-executed, but not a highlight. Atmosphere can be very nice if not too loud. Great place for a date, grabbing light fare, or having a drink at the bar.

It seems they make a new menu daily; ours had the day we dined written on it. So I’m not sure if I’m able to exactly recommend anything specific but I loved the NY Strip Steak on 9/19. It was done perfectly. I was a huge fan. Highly recommend. I did expect the potatoes with it to be more crispy and the sauce to be more like au jus from the menu description but they were still really good! It was a long wait on even a Thursday so it’s highly recommended to plan in advance and make reservations. It’s like the food that north used to serve and that was one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered a charcuterie as well and I didn’t love it but that was my fault because I literally chose what I wanted in it. Overall, I still had a fantastic dinner and would try other things next time!

The food and atmosphere during our latest visit to New Rivers were both excellent, as expected. It was the service that really stood out on this visit. When we arrived, the hostess kindly made sure we sat at the table she selected for us, rather than the bar as we requested, because she selected the best table in the restaurant for us. From there, our server struck the perfect tone. Warm, hospitable, discreet, and attentive, she made sure that we were able to keep the night about us, rather than her service. She seemed to anticipate our needs, never interrupting at an awkward moment or lingering too long. We enjoyed a leisurely, intimate meal gazing at the city's twinkling lights. The food was, as always, excellent, a wonderful expression of seasonal New England fare, presented artfully. My favorites were the pumpkin hummus with crunchy root vegetables, which a perfectly refreshing, sensual way to start the meal. The scallops were also great, presented with a knockout green sauce and some perfectly-cooked potatoes and green beans. Highly recommended - get a reservation, skip lunch, invite the best conversationalists you know and tuck in for a great meal.

One of our most favorite spots. The menu is curated from local/seasonal bests—elevating fresh and simple to elegant. All of the employees are excellent representatives of owners and culture—fun energy and enthusiastic service. Can’t wait to be back. PS if you are lucky enough to see the vanilla bean and coffee panacotta, save room!!

Warm and cozy with excellent service, we loved our first visit to New Rivers. I've never seen bone marrow on a menu and absolutely loved it. Scallops were an unusual presentation. an oh yeah, best pommes frites around. Everything worked. Our dinner for two was wonderful. We were happy.

New to the neighborhood and looking for my own coffee spot. This place is cute and kept popping up when I typed in vegan cafe. They had 1 vegan pastry option. I grabbed it. But unfortunately there’s plastic baked inside the middle. They do have oat and almond milk available. Their caramel and vanilla are dairy free. The sandwich options were very slim pickings despite being there around 11. Coffee is the best part here. It’s cute inside. Feels like the staff could clean up the dining area more throughout the day.

I've been coming here for years every now and then. The inside is totally charming and approachable - exactly the type of place in which I like to have a pastry or sandwich. Was just here on Friday and had an egg sandwich on an everything bagel along with a pastry; way above average on both counts - lots of flavor. I particularly like that they bake all of their own stuff (you can see the baking room in back), get creative and try new things, and have a progressive, inclusive value system.

Plus the music was good there. The description prominently features that this restaurant is eco-friendly, however, other than the organic food choices and the ability to recycle, the food is served on single use parchment paper and my dine-in drinks were served in plastic cups. The food is definitely fresh and delicious and the pricing— being in the nice area that it is— is quite good; me and the person I was with were able to get both of our meals with a fresh pressed drink for about $15.

Set up here for a few hours of remote work and enjoyed a hot brown butter latte (incredible) and their veggie breakfast sandwich (also incredible). Great vibes all around!

The melon matcha tonic was delicious, and they hand-whisked their matcha which I never get to see at busy cafés! My only complaint was that the flat white wasn’t great. Also, the music was not loud at all so really good for a chill study spot that isn’t overwhelming!

Very delicious looking snacks and drinks. The quality and taste are not consistent across the snakes. A bit worried hygiene as the drink making tools, filters are cleaned with the same cloth for the counters and everything else but the milk nozzle which is used with another cloth.

I've never actually had undrinkable cafe coffee before. This was my first. PH was so off, it literally burned my throat, topping off a very bland taste.

Super cute on the inside, great customer service- the employees were so kind and helpful. They did not have crounuts? when I went (on a weekday) but I did try their jelly donut and coffee cake donut. The raspberry jelly was good but it took many bites to get to the jelly, because it was so sweet and rich, it was overwhelming at the end and I couldn’t finish it. On the other hand, the coffee cake donut was delicious- award winning. Everything was super fresh and tasted delicious.

Knead to try harder…mediocre donuts at epicurean prices. Purchased two donuts, an expired milk and a water for $15. Donuts were day olds…despite being there an hour after opening. Good flavor (blueberry lemon and strawberry shortcake) but super dry to the point we didn’t finish. They were nice an about the expired milk and then checked the whole case, but were nonverbal during the purchase. Clearly not morning people.

This is a really cute doughnut shop with a nice variety of fresh high quality donuts. We came on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t too busy and they had a great selection of donuts and pastries to choose from. The service was great too. We got a brown butter pecan donut and a mocha old fashioned donut. The brown butter pecan donut was one of the best donuts I’ve ever had. It was so big and fluffy and had so many little pecan pieces coating it. The mocha old fashioned was good too but the texture wasn’t quite as good and I didn’t taste much coffee flavor. This is a great a great spot with delicious donuts! We’ll be back for sure and will recommend it to friends!

I came in skeptical, and unfortunately, the donuts didn’t win me over. The chocolate frosted with sprinkles and vanilla glazed tasted basic - definitely not worth the premium price. The pecan was the best of the bunch, but overall, it felt overhyped. I’m a PV Donut guy.

Came here looking for a good apple fritter and the apple fritter was good not the best it could be but still yummy. The vanilla glaze is a good choice as well but I hated the chocolate frosted. The donut was dry, the frosting seemed store bought and the sprinkles were not enjoyable. I also got a cinnamon roll donut and it look so promising but there was not cinnamon throughout it was just a plain donut with cinnamon glaze. It was also a bit pricy $6/donut is a bit steep considering the quality.

Amazingly this place is never crowded on weekday mornings making it an excellent meeting or study spot. The cinnamon buns are unparalleled in my opinion, flakey, buttery with just the right amount of sweetness. No espresso drinks, but their coffee is solid.

Food is good, but I was overcharged today. Should cost $2 to get a side of fries with the purchase of a burger. The guy charged me $7.25 for a plate of fries. Photo of plate attached. Very tasty fries, and the burger was good, too. Would give a better rating aside from the poor service at the register. P.S. a guy at the table next to me was charged $29 for two pancakes and a bowl of chili. Maybe the guy working the register today needs training or the prices are kind of high here.

I really wanted this place to be better than it was. My son had a chocolate milk, a side of bacon and and full stack of chocolate chip pancakes, I had an orange juice and a bacon and cheese omelette and it was 74 dollars before tip. It wasn’t 74 dollars good and that’s the problem for me. When you walk in, you walk up to order, then find your seat. If our meal total was like 40 then this would have been 5 stars for the value. I will say the orange juice was amazing clearly hand squeezed.

This is a classic spot on Thayer St. I love that Meeting St has stuck around through all of the iterations of this area. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is solid but the coffee leaves a bit to the imagination. I enjoyed my veggie omelet with cheese and potatoes. Overall, a solid option for a casual breakfast.

Food was good, coffee good. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. Friendly and quick service.A bit pricey at $15.34 with tax compared to other places with same food. Place was comfortable, however I noticed many stained ceiling tiles.

Very tasty and well made food. It didn't take long to receive our meals. Bagels seemed about a day old though. Clean but average interior. Overall, good stuff.

All day breakfast plus a plentiful lunch selection leave room for a fickle appetite, and do not disappoint in either quality or quantity. Service is great, good attitudes, but can be rather slow in terms of turnaround. Worth the wait. For more details, check out my full review here: bit.ly/meetingstreet-review

Ordered the Thanksgiving sandwich, and something wasn’t right. Something taste like the cold from the refrigerator and really bad. I took it apart so I can see what was in the sandwich that had that taste and it was the stuffing, omg the taste and smell of it was so putrid I called and they tell me that they tasted it and that, that’s how they do stuffing there and I said that’s sad. They did however refund me my money fairly fast so grateful for that.

The woman at the register was nice and helpful. This location has plenty of seating. After lunch time, there were people in here on their laptops working in the booths. It seems like it would be a comfortable spot for that. I remember the bread being better here when I was younger but it’s fine. This location does not have a drive through because it’s located inside the mall.

Great job kitchen & possible manager stream lining orders and handling hard people. Made me upset to see you guys have to deal with that but everything was handled pretty professionally. I got great service and great attitude. God Bless!

It has always been a good experience at Panera Bread. Keep it up - you may be a store manager, or a part-time employee. Keep it up and do a good job - you will be rewarded - just a matter of time when it is getting better. There are plenty of seating in this store. Great location at Providence Place mall to grab some healthy food in a relaxing place.

The best workers at any panera I've ever been to. I would recommend this location time and time again! From the fresh food to the politeness and courteousness of everyone it is always a pleasant time here! As a regular they never fail me and I Thank you to the team at this Panera !!!!

The ingredients are fresh, the seasoning is excellent, and paired with their expertly made bread, their sandwiches are truly delicious.

At the end of the day this was the best Panera bread I ever had the crew was excellent in the food was fantastic. The general manager Daniela was excellent she runs a great crew. Everybody was nice and the food was fresh.

I ordered 8/21 they gave the Dasher the wrong order. I called and they said they were going to remake it and send me my order. That was almost 2 hours ago now and nothing happened. This isn't the first time they've messed up either, another time they promised to remake it and add a dessert. I got my food, cold, so it wasn't remade and no dessert. Stop promising things you're not going to actually do for the customer.

Amazing Greek marketplace with amazing food and offering. The chef and owner came out to explain what we were having and why moderation is important in life. Great sharing and why we need to enjoy our food. Life is too fast and short - stop, enjoy and eat!

Great vibe with superbly nice staff. We had taken the bus from New York to providence and needed a place to kill some time for a few hours before our friends picked us up. This place was great and had good food and cool drinks that tided us over until dinner. We were not the hugest fans of the homemade bread pita chips, but I’m sure they are someone’s cup of tea. I liked how there was a lot of options that could help anyone even if they were a picky eater. They also had TVs showing how to cook things which added a cool dynamic. Overall if I find myself back in providence I’ll check it out again.

Based just on food, this would be 4 stars. However, the total experience is why it makes 5 stars. We ate a lot of items in the menu. Excellent -White Wagu - truffled up deliciously -Saganaki Shrimp - tied for number 1 -Pita bread - yes it’s that good -White Ragu - very heavy, delicious. Share it with the table. -Spreads platter -the Market Very Good -Lamb Shank -baklava -Cheese and Meat platter Passable - sea bass, the fish was overcooked. It wasn’t very flavorful, 2 people got it, neither finished it. Skip it. - eggplant. Might be a traditional dish but the sweetness of the meat was a turnoff. We didn’t finish it.

Didn't try their food but everything looked amazing. It smelled amazing as well. Clean, cozy, neat, very bight, and very well decorated. I do want to actually try food there.

Extremely disappointed by this place. The salmon salad I ordered was full of mold lettuce, with only a slice of smoked salmon and almost no veggies/ no quinoa. I think there was less than a teaspoon of quinoa and half a radish to work on !!! For the mold, the pictures speak for themselves.... The waiter was kind enough to add a bit more of quinoa but I won't go again for sure.

Unexpectedly delightful inside and out! We stumbled up on the Yoleni’s restaurant while sauntering through the streets of Providence. The interior is well decorated with light colored wood paneling, indirect warm accent lighting, and accented with hardware and fixtures which pay tribute to the history of the building in which it is housed. The prices were acceptable, the food was good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a main dining area with an upstairs balcony which includes restrooms and a bar. The back of Yoleni’s boasts a large area for purchasing goods and knickknacks. The building Tilden – Thurber was built in 1895 and occupied by a jeweler’s firm (of the same name) until 1990. It then became a fine antiques shop before changing hands into a restaurant. Designed by Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, of Boston, this building is a monument to turn of the latter century architecture which shows experimentation with classic styles yet tries to incorporate the newer building methods of steel frame structure.

Updated review: Yoleni's seems to still be having some difficulties with working out their timing when it comes to presenting their patrons with the food they've ordered for lunch. Granted, we haven't been here yet for dinner (only lunch), so maybe it's better after 6 pm. However, each time we've ordered food, it just seems to take longer than necessary to get it (even when there isn't a line), and one time there seemed to be a disagreement between one of the chefs and one of the servers. It was awkward standing there, waiting for the food to be ready, when coworkers just seemed to be irritated with each other. A recent review in the Boston Globe drove us to finally try this place. What a beautiful store/restaurant! If you're interested in trying authentic Greek cuisine, Yoleni's Providence should be on your list. We ate here just before the dinner changeover, so the items on the menu were more lunch-oriented, but still delicious. My wife had the eggs Benedict, and I had the moussaka pocket. Both we're excellent, only exceeded by their hospitality. I look forward to trying their dinner menu soon.

Used to love the dark roast coffee...last 2 times definitely different. Less boldness, flavor. I was reassured by staff the proportions had not changed. Tried again, weak again. Back to Coffee Exchange. Always good, every time.

It’s really rare that I leave a negative review, but the expensive cake slices we had at L’Artisan yesterday were freezer-burned to the point where one was completely inedible. I went back to ask for a different slice, which is bad considering I seriously never send anything back. The two staff who were there were super nice about it, which I definitely appreciated. The pastry I traded for was better, but still tasted like a dirty freezer. I was especially bummed to know they were frozen at all. I assumed that for the price ($20 for 2 cake slices) they would be freshly made. I highly recommend you skip this place and go to Madrid Bakery instead.

I was very disappointed in the desserts I ordered from this bakery. Looking at all the photos I was hoping for something amazing. The desserts were delivered frozen solid and weren't in great shape. The food looks amazing on the pictures. Please don't decide not to eat here because of one experience. Everyone has bad days.

Excellent place to go grab a salad/snack/sandwich and a coffee. I've had the lattes and the cappuccinos, which were both 10 out of 10 stars. The food options are vast, and everything is SO fresh. As you can see from my picture, the patio area is a very nice spot to hang out during the day.

Enjoyed an iced cappuccino and a lemon poppy seed muffin. Greeted by a friendly staff and service was great. Enjoyed my breakfast on the patio. Ample seating indoors and outdoors. I'll definitely visit again and maybe try lunch next time.

I honestly thought the chai latte was atrocious. Sickeningly sweet and very watery. I couldn’t even eat the tiramisu, it had no coffee fragrance whatsoever. Ended up throwing everything out. Not sure how it’s rated so highly, maybe I took the wrong things. Also, everything came in a plastic container even though I sat there and not to go. The premises are nice, however. There is an outdoor seating area and the staff are friendly. I’ll give them that. Otherwise, I truly wish I saved my 12$ for something else.

Very nice place to get some coffee and meetfriends. Wendy is the best, she always smiling and provides the best service.

This clean, bright cafe was close to the hotel where I stayed for work, so I gave it a try. I grabbed a coffee, overnight oats and macaroons. I liked the quality and service enough to go back a second time to try their coconut espresso martini. It was just what I needed after a long day. I recommend the Cookie Monster macaroon if they have it in the case (blue with chocolate chip filling).

Wow!!! The egg sandwich h was phenomenal! A generous amount of avocado, the egg was made a little runny (the way I like it), the bread was unlike any English muffin or biscuit I’ve had. It was fantastic! Also, the Aussie treats like Lamington and chausson pastry with spinach and cheese were phenomenal. The coconut water was great too but it took several people trying to get it open.

It is a welcoming coffee shop. It has several breakfast and sweet items that are delicious. The avocado toast has an amazing presentation as well as the taste.

This is a must visit for brunch place, when in Providence. Close to the train station, you can just walk straight up there and start your day with an amazing meal. The variety of options you get is amazing. Savoury, sweet, vegetarian. Name it and they have it. Bonus points for having this amazing reusable cups for the beverages. We liked it so much that we ordered two coffees so we can get two of them and we haven’t stopped using them in our daily life since then.

Matcha latte and sweet toast were absolutely delicious! Really enjoyed the music. Modern vibes overall.

Cute cafe right in downtown Providence. Service was beyond excellent. Wonderful young people here. Got breakfast which was delicious and the ambiance is very bright as well as welcoming.

Excellent intimate cafe; 2 min walk from Providence Amtrak station; 10 min walk from Brown/RISD; excellent avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, espresso beverages; nice clean atmosphere; good place to meet up with a friend, have a small meeting with a colleague, etc. Support your local cafes & small businesses 👍

The breakfast sandwich on a fresh biscuit was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in Providence! I'd recommend that you pay the extra $2.00 for the biscuit upgrade and not skimp; it makes a big difference. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich on an English muffin and it was good, but not quite as good as on the biscuit. The coffee here is also excellent. If you're planning to stay at the cafe, you should know that it can be tough to get a table. A lot of customers seem to study or work here for extended periods, so tables only infrequently become available. I'd recommend ordering your food and drink to go by default whenever you visit; you can always nab a table if you're lucky enough to have one become available while you wait for your order.

Way over priced and in need of good management. Three people behind the counter too busy talking to each other to be bothered to help customers. Said they would bring my cappuccino to me then left it on the counter getting cold. When I asked if they could warm it up, they poured it back into the frother mixing it into hot coffee milk. All this for $6. Beautiful location on a nice day but suggest you go to the museum and skip the coffee shop. Much better places nearby.

My family and I recently visited the RISD Museum in Rhode Island, and it was a memorable experience. After enjoying the impressive art collections, we decided to grab some drinks from Cafe Pearl. We ordered a mocha latte, an Americano, and a hot chocolate. However, when I tried to pay, my credit card was declined multiple times since it wasn’t a US card. I only had enough cash to cover the hot chocolate. I asked the staff to cancel the rest of the order, but to our surprise, they generously told us not to worry and gave us the mocha and Americano for free. Their kindness truly made our visit special. Thank you.

Awesome atmosphere! Sundays are free at the RISD museum. Great place to take family coming into town.

I really enjoy their sencha. Would love even more green tea options. Matcha is decent too but matcha is so expensive everywhere, esp for a small cup. Often hard to find a seat. I usually see a lot of students there who don't appear to have purchased anything which unfortunately takes up some of the seats. Overall a great place - happy it exists. Most of the staff is very nice.

Had an ice coffee and muffin. Coffee was bitter and cashier was not even a little friendly. Asked for a lot of cream and did not get much. Didn't ask if I wanted it sweetened. Later I asked somebody else for sugar and was offered the simple sugar liquid by a more pleasant person. The muffin was dry. I would not return for coffee, muffins, or unfriendly service.

The staff was nice, the atmosphere chill and friendly, the environment clean and cool, but DAMN are the drinks unsatisfactory. Fall Latte was extremely watery, either there’s too much water or the milk is not quality. Quite disappointing for a price of $5.75 + taxes.

Great coffee, great ambiance, and great baristas. It is ideal for a casual get together with friends, or a date, or simply for enjoying a great cup of coffee. It is also great for working or relaxing reading a book.

Nestled in this very interesting showroom garage type place. A good coffee shop with friendly people. Coffee is strong but not so much that it’s bitter. Overall a solid 9/10 would come here again.

First time there. Smelled delicious waking in. Very cool. Different yet relaxing atmosphere. Was able to taste test before purchasing. Loved it. We purchased the Ethiopian Blend. We are taste testing with a French Press. Keep ya posted!!!

Seems like they have wifi but Collin had some issues answering and chatting appropriately via the phone (e.g., pick-up-hang-up, not greeting or saying hello, arguing), so, I had already made my way and arrived-at the Starbucks on Angell ST - I do recommend Angell ST more for late night sips and wifi for these reasons.

Cute cafe tucked next to Farm Fresh. We stopped by in the afternoon for coffee and ended up having two delicious cocktails on their outdoor seating. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating, but if you come on a weekday afternoon, you should be able to grab a seat. The pastries and beverages are delicious.

Update; I’ve been regularly coming here like once or twice a week for a while now. The coffee is consistently done perfect and all the baristas definitely know how to make a good latte. Most other places in the area can’t. So cute. Huge ceilings. Fun little cafe set up. Plugs along the walls. There were a decent amount of people who seemed to be remote working in the cafe inside and at the patio seating outside. They have like “coffee classes” which I don’t know what it means even but they set it up all cute in there and you can see the giant coffee machine thing through windows on the sides of the cafe. Free Wi-Fi and plenty of seats and places to buy coffee making material for your own home as well. Air conditioning was at the perfect temp and my barista girl made my decaf mocha latte perfectly

Delicious 😋 hot chocolate 🍫 my friends loved the Irish ☕️ coffee. I wasn't drinking alcohol but they had a great selection of coffees available. I will definitely be back

Fantastic. They made me the best iced mocha I've had since I've been back in the US, exactly to order, and the bagels are great. They have less wasteful packaging than most places these days, too; not super-eco, but they haven't completely given up, like most coffee places in New England. And there are lots of places to plug in a laptop and chill by a window. I'll definitely be back.

A truly lovely café filled with the energy of RISD students. It is usually busy, so count for at least waiting in line for a few minutes, but the coffee and the pastry are really good. If you are not a student, i.e., a faculty or a staff member, please have some cash so that you can tip. There is no way to tip with a card (I think the contractor has to fix this).

It gets busy, but I really enjoy the chai and cookies. The workers there are so nice. Though the line can be kind of slow sometimes. :')

I loveeee their hot chocolate with whipped cream. They also have friendly staff and cute drawings. Student run.

Nice student cafe. The desert was good but soo sweet.

My favorite place! Meatball calzone the best!

Only place without music I've been to in Providence so far.

Great cafe, fresh ingredients make a difference. We ordered avocado toast and a breakfast sandwich with a chai tea latte and a cold brew coffee. Simple yet very yummy. The fact that you can order on line makes a huge difference.

The food was fresh and delicious. Just as well, the prices were affordable. Service was quick with wait time only a few minutes. The atmosphere was gorgeous with multiple seats looking out into Providence proper. Great place for catching up with friends while the sun bleeds in from the many windows. Overall a great place for a morning breakfast.

Just paid $6 for a cup of ice thank you Zara❤️❤️❤️I’ve been here many times usually to grab food however I don’t know how yall get by on your day to day doing this to customers. First and last coffee here. It is insulting and disrespectful to say the least. Any coffee shop in Providence that has better coffee is somehow cheaper, in a better location, and here’s the kicker, they don’t fill the entire cup with ice to skimp on coffee. Will never be back but I figured I would make this public service announcement for the other true brew lovers out there don’t bring your business to this establishment.

This place is PHENOMENAL. Like, not even exaggerating. The deserts are delicious, the actual food is INCREDIBLE and the drinks are DELICIOUS. I love cafes and this one really does stand out above the rest. Never have I consistently come to the same cafe week after week after week. Like, they treat every order with importance. Like I ordered just toast and butter and honestly it was so amazing, I couldn’t eat anything for the rest of the day. Butter and toast will NEVER be as good as this was. If they do this with just butter and bread, imagine the actual meals. The Lisbon Morning or the Burrata Toast. INSTANT faves of mine. Try it out for sure!!!!

I love this cute cafe. Currently obsessed with their iced chai. Their breakfast sandwiches are yummy. The smoked salmon toast and BLTA is bomb, of course I've had both, I'm a foodie 😋

I love this place, the food is amazing, management is amazing. But there is this one girl who works there almost everyday that has such a bad attitude she has officially made me move on a find a new coffee spot. She is the shortest one there with brown hair and brassy highlights… just avoid her. Last time I was there my boyfriend was up at the counter for me, due to issues with her in the past, and overheard her telling another coworker she was going to do something to my sandwich. He interjected and told her that’s not cool. I decided that was the last time I would go. I’ve also tried to speak with someone regarding her behavior and have gotten no where. Maybe if they hired staff above a certain age they wouldn’t run into this problem? Not sure. If you’re ordering carry out you’re probably good, just be careful when interacting with some of the staff.

My husband and I went on Saturday morning before a hike and it was 10/10 delicious. I ordered a maple latte and my husband ordered a mocha latte, the espresso wasn’t burnt and they weren’t too sweet. We thought, let’s go back Sunday again before walking our dog, and they’re CLOSED! It was such a heartbreaker. Highly recommend moving your closed day to a week day, I think you’d get a lot of business on a Sunday, no other good coffee close.

The obvious and easy choice for a coffee and snack prior to a train ride. If you get the bagel, asked to have it toasted. But also asked to get the bagel cut in half. That'll make it easier during your train ride.

Very affordable, quick, convenient breakfast While waiting for the train for work we decided to grab a quick breakfast. I have to say, these folks work fast! The sandwiches here are freshly made with local ingredients. Which I was not expecting from a small cafe.

this place is really amazing. extremely fast service, kind and friendly faces, some of the best coffee i’ve had in providence anywhere. plus, they actively advocate for others and stand on the right side of history. i’d recommend stopping here even if you don’t have a train to catch!

Rude customer service experience at the register with Riley, who was sarcastic and displayed a lack of professionalism and customer care. There was also a short, blonde-haired woman who was writing notes to and smirking at the young girl at the register who didn't speak or greet..yuck; based on prior reviews, she appears to have had similar issues in the past.

The cafe’s pretty great for a train station option. They’ve tried to keep a good decor, the menu is good (way better than a train station cafe can be expected to have) and the prices reasonable. They’re a bit slow on the service, but there’s quite a few takeaway snacks and beverages to choose from if you’re in a hurry. Try out the local Narragansett creamery yoghurt in particular.

Located inside the Providence Train station, you can pick up a quick to go coffee, soda, or pastry. They also make fresh sandwiches and smoothies.

Not to be missed for breakfast, sandwich or salad. Great selection and quality. $5 - $11!!!! Best train station meal since Le Train Bleu.

The owner is greedy !!we ordered two hookahs but they put no more than 10 grams of molasses in each bowl so the hookahs last only 15 minutes and became harsh and we tasted only coals flavor . The waitress was nice and polite

Best Hookah in Providence RI by far. Awesome music and the owner is really great

$20 cost for BYOB and the hookah SUCKED. Like I don’t usually do this but they charged us $25 for a digiorno pizza meanwhile the place looked like it’d been stuck together with modge podge and glitter. 0/10 absolute scam DONT GO HERE!

Went here with some friends, have been here a few times before and had great experiences. Clearly is under new management now but we were charged for water, not allowed to bring outside drinks like Gatorade in but people could bring alcohol bottles. After about an hour we were told we have to leave unless we bought a refill for the hookahs we had. Tip was included in the bill so we didn't even have a choice in tipping, which wouldn't matter if we weren't getting kicked out. The staff was very rude, will not return.

Best hookah bar around for actually smoking hookah. They offer all of the gimmicky heads and flavors but consistently have the best and longest hitting hookahs in Providence. The best part is the establishment is BYOA (Bring Your Own Alcohol) so you can save money by bringing your own beer or booze. On weeknights they don't blast the music which makes for a very relaxing atmosphere. It doesn't look like much, but this is my favorite hookah bar for the hookah smoking experience alone.

Love this place. The staff are always very friendly, music is always good. Love the fact that I can bring my own drinks and the hookah is always great. Make sure to get here early on the weekends, tables are hard to get with how busy it gets

Someone please tell the owner to stop having his personal card games there with his buddies. It's a hookah spot, where there's music, drinking and a good time. It's so unprofessional and so many times I've walked in and back out...needs better management and definitely should consider redoing the bench chairs, they have holes in them. Also switch up the music. We put request in and it takes forever if ever to get played. Better management, certainly not impressed.

The bartender is super cool and makes great conversation. He made the most amazing espresso martinis!! I will literally come here every weekend with my friend to drink these amazing martinis. They aren’t too sweet and made with legit espresso. Also, they have a juke box and lots of cigars to buy so you can get swanky if you want.

Fantastic place! Came here looking for a late night coffee shop and I found that and more. Very nice owner/bartender, vanilla latte was delicious and she offered me a glass of ice water, which is something I always forget to ask for. Will definitely return!

Probably the best coffee I have ever had! Well worth the extra few bucks to grab a large ice coffee here than to stop at my local dunkin donuts. Both the staff and owners are very pleasant and are always more than happy to strike a conversation with you.

Great place to eat, drink, smoke cigars and relax your mind. Plus they have free wifi. Its like Starbucks on Steroids. Love the location, on weekends they have a guitarist or paino player which sets the ambiance.

Great little Italian cafe. Owners treat you like family. Mellow music on the weekends. Full bar..Homemade pastrys,tasty cannoli's. And a few savory specials at very affordable prices.. Grilled porkchops italian style for like $9 or $10 !!! Pasta Fazoule... Pannini... Cold beer, coffee drinks..espressos an the sort..Italian sodas.. Comfy chairs inside, and cute sidewalk tables outside. And they are Always open..like 7 am to 1 or even later on weekends.. I hear they even open on the holidays

Great, friendly, very attentive staff! Rachel and Priscilla are awesome! Canolis are amazing and freshly filled upon order. Cool, relaxed atmosphere. Great place!!

Love Pazzo. People who work here are always nice to me. I will choose it if I am in the area. There are many good places in Providence, and Cafe Pazzo is one of them.

Delicious coffee and good vibes. They also sell bags of freshly roasted coffee for fair prices.

Best iced mocha latte I’ve had in a long time.

Great place. Great people. Great coffee. Great music. Great vibe. 5 stars. Valley Arts District [But please, stay away or I might lose my favorite place to sit]

In a time of expensive bad coffee this coffee was not only excellent and the staff wonderful, but fast and cheap! Definitely a spot to check out if you haven’t.

I am a big fan of bolt coffee and love this location because of the character. Not a ton of places to sit but what they do have is very comfortable and it is a cozy environment. I believe is here every time I’m in town and it’s always staffed with a nice barista and offers great pastries/donuts.

Place is located inside the Dean hotel with an entrance off the main street. The batista was friendly and made a great coffee! I tried the woodsman and the blueberry muffin which was great. There's a long wooden table you can sit at, along with some cushy chairs and couches. Atmosphere is very chill.

It’s a beautiful space! The coffee was pretty good, but we didn’t love the doughnuts-they were a little too dense. I was just visiting, but regular customers were moving in and out and chatting with the baristas. For the half hour I spent there, I was a part of the local culture.

Good third wave coffee shop. Located off of the lobby of a quaint hotel, but does have it's own side door too. The cortado was delicious. No manual brew/pour over options, but the drip was a washed single origin from Honduras and was pretty good.

I actually didn't initially plan to review this place, as it almost seems like apart of the Dean. But I really enjoyed my experience with them. Their coffee drinks are very well made and their staff seemed very professional and trained. After ordering drinks one of the baristas asked me what our plans were, and so I explained the place we ended to have breakfast. He quickly got out his laptop and showed me another place that was even closer with more options. He even let me scroll through the menu. This was consistent with the type of service that The Dean offered in general, very personal and helpful. I'd stop in at the Bolt even if I weren't staying there!

Great eclectic coffee shop in the heart of Providence roasting their own beans. Americano was on point and the Barista was super friendly and informative. Highly recommend checking this place out. Excellent Third Wave experience. They also have a second location.

Cozy little spot for a quiet cup sitting on their couches or stop by and get it to go. The coffee is delicate and a great morning roast in my opinion. They have some knead donuts first thing. I tried the cortado which was lovely and the drip coffee. The barista said they use the same beans/toast for the espresso and the drip and I really enjoyed both. Definitely worth stopping by.

This place was great! awesome flavor combos and the employees were really happy and nice 😊

This place was good. The ladies that worked there was cool. The place is on the small side and not to much sitting. The menu is nice big n clear to read. There are a good amount of items to choose from. They have the choices of small, medium, and large cups. Now please know you are not going to get the same size cups if you ate use to going somewhere like dunkin. The cups here are smaller. The coffee was fresh no burned taste and the smoothies are made with real fruit and vegetables. They will add or subtract whatever you do or don't want. The wait was not to bad especially knowing you were getting it fresh. Just know the traffic and parking is terrible. You are going to pay for quality.

Delicious hot fudge ice cream sundae! Had a scoop each of peanut butter crunch and maple walnut. Abundant fudge and whipped cream topping. Friendly staff and plenty of seating.

Found this while visiting a outdoors market, and it was the perfect little treat after all the walking! I got the coffee Oreo ice cream and it was really good. It was nice and creamy then the flavors were bold on top of that.

do you guys use a tablespoon to measure your portions? Not only is your staff extremely rude and unfriendly but your ice cream scoop portions are embarrassing especially in comparison to all local places. I think if you are going to make the change from the nice coffee/ breakfast / lunch place to an ice cream only joint you should probably invest in being a comparable ice cream place with good customer service to sustain the longevity of your business

Ice cream was very good but place is filthy. Overflowing trash inside , glass door looks like it is never cleaned tables filthy outside with garbage on ground. Two of the four employees sitting on their phones. Clearly no management of any kind. It’s too bad…. dirty food establishments are a major turn off no matter how good ice cream is

Ok! Let's just go ahead and add this place as a top favorite ❤🥰 I felt like a little kid full of ice cream dessert options and SURPRISE I was not disappointed. I have to come back and try the breakfast and lunch menu. Guys this place is a must go!! The staff was so wonderful and patient.

Spinach and Cheese Breakfast burrito last month: well made and cut in half, fairly tasty and then realised there was so much cheese , the grease was leaking out everywhere. Couldn't finish the last couple of bites. Perhaps less chedder(fattier cheese) and more feta? It was a bummer. Today tried the Pesto Panini and it was OK. Pesto was tasty and tomatoes fresh, chicken and and bread were....eh. Really have high hopes for this cafe, as there's not much open on weekends, and not only do we as RISD employees look for good spots to grap lunch, we also LOVE recommending places, especially Hazel. Staff has been great on my two visits, and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Cannot comment on coffee or beverages. Chairs, tables and benches are inviting. However, the all black walls and too-loud music make it less attractive to stay and enjoy. Will give it another try for food next month and see how it goes.

Stopped in for a latte, was excellent. The staff also has wonderful energy.

Opened 2 days ago, amazing service and great food. Loved the avocado toast! Kids loved their quesadilla and fruit. Very family friendly, highly recommend.

Great coffee, great food, very friendly staff. Nothing more you could ask for.

We tried the new location today. Maybe they are still getting their bearings but the latte was not drinkable. They have high end equipment and the place is cute but the coffee was very very bitter. I feel bad writing a bad review for a new place but it’s in the hopes that they’ll better train their baristas or work out the kinks.

This is just simply a great place to get a great cup of coffee. The bariste prepared us a double and a triple chai latte that were the best this side of New Orleans!

Went there for lunch, Great food, great coffee, nice environment that’s clean, quiet, and good for meeting up or some afternoon coffee to sit and relax. Loved the avocado toast.

Everybody here has a Im better than you attitud and bad costumer service. I got a pink drink with cold foam and a chocolate pop since they where out of the birthday one. I never new that was ready untill after waitimg for few minute I ask. They just drop drinks on the counter and I never heard my name. Since I dont know how the drinks look I had to ask. The preping area for the drinks was dirty with splashes of other drinks all over the place. The only reason why I came to strash bucks for the 3rd time in my life with the same experieexperience is because my daughter is hospitalized kn hasbro and she was craving this. Hopefully she will not ask for anymore of this unreasonable expensive place. April 6 2025 1:45 ish pm

Super packed the day that I went, but somehow it was the calmest Starbucks I’ve ever been to. This location seems perfectly staffed, and I love that the baristas don’t yell out names while people are studying. The warm moody lighting makes it a perfect addition to campus. Cutest Starbucks I’ve ever been to. Also!! Every time I see the lavender matcha it’s always gray and ugly and the cold foam ends up as a really thin layer. But at this location it was vibrant and had the perfect consistency! I love when baristas love to make drinks and do their best to make it work. With this particular drink it’s not realistic to expect this outcome every time, but I really appreciate the innovative approach that went into making the presentation as good as possible 🪻🍵

Best Starbucks in providence. No wait. Kind staff with funky decorative hat pins. No mugs at downtown Starbucks. This one has the collector cups. I would go back 💃

Honestly the best Starbucks I’ve been too I’m so thankful it’s on campus. Even though they are incredibly busy and probably stressed out college kids serving a ton of other stressed out college kids they are always extremely kind. They also make the best coffees

I am not a student at JWU, but I pick my husband up from work nearby, and this is a good place to kill time if necessary. I am always impressed by the friendliness, efficiency and proficiency of the staff; in fact, I have found that these students are better trained (and more polite) than at most regular Starbucks locations. Gets busy sometimes (I am guessing right before or after classes) but in between the rushes, it is actually pretty quiet, and it is usually filled with kids studying.

Staffs are professionally trained and always nice! Food and drinks are prepared in hygienic surroundings. Except specific times, there are a good amount of seats available and I love their big window seats

Even when it's busy there's never too long of a wait, if you go there past dinner time though expect them to not have any pastries available Edit: After a month I can say that there is a huge wait around 11, if you have classes then plan at least 15 minutes if you really need it If you like sweet things but don't know what to order I like getting an iced white chocolate mocha with a couple liquid sugars and whipped cream (yes I know how unhealthy that sounds)

Their pastries were so good! We went there on the Labor Day and got the lemon cake and kouign amann. The cake was super moist and the kouign amann was perfectly flaky and sweet, loved it!

The most delicious flavorful, baked goods! We had the lemon cake, cinnamon roll, and ginger scone. All delicious! I would definitely come back for the baked goods. However, the service was meh.. the staff attending the counter were not very friendly or helpful.

Quick service, decent latte. I ordered a pretzel chocolate croissant as well - croissant was flakey and light, the pretzel/saltiness paired well with the not too sweet chocolate in a well balanced combo. I would definitely stop in again and try out their other bakery items. There is a small parking lot behind the bakery with a couple of spots as well as street parking available.

The photo below is not a croissant but this bakery calls it one. Then croissant did not have any air in it. The croissant is cut in half to add the almond filling which is not traditional in anyway it’s completely flat and frankly somewhat tasteless. We’re glad we ordered a sticky bun, which was quite good

Super cute coffee shop!! Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Bonus, they have decaf espresso!

Been coming here for years since moving to Providence and I've had nothing but the BEST experiences day after day, week after week. It's busy for a reason!! I'm proud to call Seven Stars my local coffee shop and I'll always support a cafe with a strong union that cares about its employees.

Ginger scone...is THE best scone in the world. All the scones are great had the lemon currant ...so good. And the chocolate almond croissant is 😋 delicious! Not to say the pecan sticky roll and lemon cake are awesome lol ...well anything in this lovely spot you will find all over locations in our great town of providence.

Great location and great staff! Plenty of indoor seating as a few outside tables for when the weather is nice. Coffee was spot on and they have plenty of other selections if dark black coffee is not your thing! Make sure to check out the super cool JFK picture hanging by entry way too! Staff were super friendly and took the time to answer a few non-coffee related questions. Walking distance to just about anywhere on Brown’s Campus too.

Absolutely love the vibe of this place. It is a perfect place to study, work on essay's, and meet friends. I can't think of a bad thing about this place.

Excellent coffee with super helpful staff. Water is always available to sip as you sit inside or out. I like their variety of goods as well as beverages. Great place to soak up the sun or cool down inside. I frequently stop here and use the tokens when I make a purchase. These are used to donate to worthy charities and causes.

GREAT COFFEE. Latte is perfect, staff is so, so nice. Only warning: don’t get pastries there. It’s not the fault of staff but they sell the driest muffins in the world. Just go for coffee, which they do really well.

Best Coffee I’ve found so far. I love strong coffee and cannot stand when coffee shops have weak coffee. I usually order an iced americano with a splash of almond milk and two sugars. I love building my own egg sandwich with the Asiago bagel. I have a broken leg right now so I’ve been ordering Blue State through DoorDash every other day. Also they always put a cover on the hole of the lid which makes me feel safer having it delivered. Highly recommend.

Pretty good espresso and nice atmosphere. Good outdoor seating space. Very long line when we went but coffee came out quickly when we finally did order

Great coffee and some chill, relaxed vibes to go with it!

Good place to grab a quick bite. The serve primarily sandwiches which are all priced a little over $8. The "Mother Clucker" and "The Patriot" sandwiches are my personal favorites but they are all good! They also have different flavored coffees, bagels, salads, and several delicious desserts.

Great place to get lunch or a cup of coffee. Very conveniently located and the staff is always friendly and welcoming!

Solid. Convenient. Nice staff, nothing fancy but perfect for the workday

Adina is lovely and made my day. Thank you.

Delicious coffee and pastry

Love this place, the bagels is always top notch. I love that there is plenty of options. The best part, is having your bagel neat! Nothing falls off / apart. Very neat and organized, my go to is cinnamon raisin bagel, sausage, bacon, egg, American cheese, avocado and jalapeños with jalapeño cream cheese and a side of small black coffee. Pricey but worth it, and supporting local is always a plus.

Very average bagel sandwich. Expensive for the quality and I don’t recommend the sausage. I would be interested in trying the Mexican food next time though

I always found myself grabbing breakfast from this place for almost four years. And in those 4 years, they never failed to meet my expectations for a good breakfast Sandwich. The staff were lovely to talk to, even going further beyond to remember my order as my "usual" whenever I went in. Little to no wait time between their orders. The breakfast sandwiches were never anything but amazing. A great hole in the wall spot to grab breakfast before work.

The smell and sounds were all so genuine and rich in culture. Their bagels had their familiar crusty bite but just melted in your mouth once you start chompin' I ordered the Cinnamon Raisin bagel with a Cinnamon Raisin cream cheese spread. And as redundant as that sounds I think the spread fell too short of the markup price just by taste alone. Equally, the bagel was grilles which is a welcomed method of toasting, however, it had the grills residual flavors of garlic, salt, and some other questionable flavors left unrecognizable due to the other sweet flavors. I finished the bagel and spread with a med hot chocolate of SwissMiss and whole milk. It wasn't too hot, so I was pleased I could drink it right away. Overall 5 stars but the rookie mistake of a not so clean grill set the flavor profile a star below.

Excellent customer service! Very friendly and welcoming!! Will definitely come back whenever I’m in Providence!! Food is EXCELLENT!!

I get breakfast here just about every day. The bagels are amazing, they use fresh eggs so their sandwiches are delicious. I always get a tomato egg and cheese on a spinach bagel and it never disappoints. Theres a larger than average cream cheese selection and I haven't tried one I didn't like. PLUS everyone that works there is so kind and lovely. It's an amazing place!

I’ll miss the bagel here! The sundry tomato cream cheese is so rich and creamy. This is definitely my brunch to-go place.

What an amazing spot to relax and enjoy some tea and delicious dishes. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful and cozy. I’d love to come back and try more of the tea!

I love this place. The atmosphere is relaxing, ordering is simple and the tea service was great. This could be a great date night spot or just a place to relax sip some tea and read a book or work on your laptop. There is outdoor seating as well. I will definitely be back and highly recommend.

A wonderful experience! The tea was the best I’ve ever had! The food was flavorful, sooo good! The service was warm and inviting. If you want a Moroccan experience, if you want to get out of Rhode Island and step into another continent for an hour or 2….this is the place to visit!

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS SURPRISE!! Parked in front of the restaurant while heading to another one but the food on other patrons’ plates looked too good to pass up. Food was amazing (it’s been a while since we’ve had food this tasty), the restaurant was cute and cozy, and the waitress was very nice. Had the lamb shank tagine, mussels tagine, and goat cheese/beet salad. The Mint tea was so good we ordered another tea to try after dinner.

This is not your average sit down restaurant. You come in, grab a menu, order, then pay and await greatness. Please note that they have bigger menu than what is on Google and Yelp. I totally forgot to take a picture of the menu. All of the food is made to order so please be patient. We ordered the Mint tea lightly sweetened and the iced Hibiscus tea. Both very good. We ordered the bakoula, baked beets, Brie sandwich to start. Everything was delicious. The bakoula is like sautéed spinach and the baked beets are served with goat cheese and sliced almonds. You eat these both with Pita. The Brie sandwich was very good. It is served with mixed greens which are a bit bitter but the Brie and raspberry spread pair nicely together. We also order the tortilla de patata with is essentially a potato and egg quiche served with cherry tomatoes. It was Very good. It’s dimly lit but you can still read the menu and the Moroccan music in the background is at a respectable volume. They have a gender neutral bathroom which was nice and clean. They also have desserts and hookah.

Terrible place I drive from Mass just to eat Moroccan food my bf is not moroccan so i wanted to introduce him to my culture! Initially there was a sign that they were open and i initially checked their hours they open at 1pm on a Wednesday gets there its say they are open the door wont open so i knock this guy doesn’t open the door looks at me flips the sign to closed and walks away! I m ashamed and very very disappointed as a Moroccan who is just trying to eat and enjoy her culture! I would understand if he only spoke to me ! Said anything like we have an emergency or incident we are not open just yet! But NO nothing just walks away!

Amazing place for some Moroccan / Mediterranean delights. Chic, hip and popular without being over-crowded. Stays open till fairly late which is a huge plus for the night owl in me, plus the music selection is top notch and makes for a great environment. Even though it's not always on the menu, I would highly recommend the Turkish coffee!

Terrible service and staff very untrained. Paid for a full coffee got a half….🤬

Frequently coming to Rhode Island Hospital, I stop by this restaurant a lot and find their food to be delicious and all. But what has made me dislike this establishment is the fact on the phone I somehow happened to hear an assistant manager who was yelling and sounded like the associate was being belittled. Working big corporate business, that is ethicially and morally inhumane and NOT professional nonetheless. Good food but better management needed.

Food is good. Pricey!!! But good. Portions are a little petite for price. But if you've forgotten your lunch and main cafeteria is closed, it'll do. Sometimes the prices change. For instance you could order a sandwich on Monday and order the same sandwich on Tuesday completely different price! Idk. Maybe it's only 3rd shift where that happens. Frozen caramel latte is delicious! If made by first shift staff where they doubled the blender time! So good. Caramel macchiato is delicious also.

This place is adequate for a quick bite. They are a little pricey with ok food. The deserts are good if you get them fresh.

Good to have food accessible at 3 am in the hospital; however, it is tricky to get in after the building locks down. I got there by going to the security entrance by short-term parking.

Great service from Angelo Defeo. I really love when he makes my hot latte! He makes with care adding the right amount of everything!! Thanks Angelo!!

Tell me how it’s appropriate to have RKelly music blaring loudly at a cafe in a hospital Because I am pretty triggered right now This is absolutely unacceptable I am Here as my mother is fighting for her life and the last thing I need to hear is music by an alleged sexual predator drowning out the relaxing classical music that should be playing It’s unacceptable

I’m a dasher, came to pick up an order and really, really needed to use the restroom, when I approached the door which said”vacant” when the girl yelled at me “Sorry, this is not a public restroom “ I identify myself and said I came to pick up an order. Didn’t work, I feel that somehow im helping their business. A little courtesy goes a long way I’m disgusted by DD

I ordered a plain bagel not toasted with cream cheese… what is this.where’s the cream cheese? Not even on the side

Two days straight in a row in the morning they gave me a md ice coffee instead of a large im paying for a large not a medium they should put people who know the difference between them in less there doing it on purpose its annoying me honestly I don't appreciate it thanks in advance dunkin' Donuts. Please talk to your staff

Ordered my drink twice and they still messed it up burn food like it's ridiculous

It is shameful and unacceptable that every time I come into the store, the young lady, specifically on the afternoon shift, always has an attitude. I like my coffee prepared a certain way, and she prepares it however she thinks it goes. Then I say to her, “Hey, but I asked you for this. “She yells at you and says, “No, you didn’t,” but then charges me extra for it. And it’s always the same young lady. Then she starts talking to herself saying how much she hates that job that she’s over it, If you are really over your job why are you even working there.

This guy place is a dump they always have the doors locked for no one to get in it’s always a mess the employees are rude they need to be fired the manager sucks she can’t control nothing

They are slow.. the staff is rude and unprofessional unprofessional. The coffee is never made the way you want.. i go to Elmwood ave or admiral ave

Great coffee, great ambiance, and great baristas. It is ideal for a casual get together with friends, or a date, or simply for enjoying a great cup of coffee. It is also great for working or relaxing reading a book.

Nestled in this very interesting showroom garage type place. A good coffee shop with friendly people. Coffee is strong but not so much that it’s bitter. Overall a solid 9/10 would come here again.

First time there. Smelled delicious waking in. Very cool. Different yet relaxing atmosphere. Was able to taste test before purchasing. Loved it. We purchased the Ethiopian Blend. We are taste testing with a French Press. Keep ya posted!!!

Seems like they have wifi but Collin had some issues answering and chatting appropriately via the phone (e.g., pick-up-hang-up, not greeting or saying hello, arguing), so, I had already made my way and arrived-at the Starbucks on Angell ST - I do recommend Angell ST more for late night sips and wifi for these reasons.

Delicious 😋 hot chocolate 🍫 my friends loved the Irish ☕️ coffee. I wasn't drinking alcohol but they had a great selection of coffees available. I will definitely be back

Cute cafe tucked next to Farm Fresh. We stopped by in the afternoon for coffee and ended up having two delicious cocktails on their outdoor seating. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating, but if you come on a weekday afternoon, you should be able to grab a seat. The pastries and beverages are delicious.

Update; I’ve been regularly coming here like once or twice a week for a while now. The coffee is consistently done perfect and all the baristas definitely know how to make a good latte. Most other places in the area can’t. So cute. Huge ceilings. Fun little cafe set up. Plugs along the walls. There were a decent amount of people who seemed to be remote working in the cafe inside and at the patio seating outside. They have like “coffee classes” which I don’t know what it means even but they set it up all cute in there and you can see the giant coffee machine thing through windows on the sides of the cafe. Free Wi-Fi and plenty of seats and places to buy coffee making material for your own home as well. Air conditioning was at the perfect temp and my barista girl made my decaf mocha latte perfectly

I love this place! The service is pretty quick. They have a large selection of breakfast items. Their lunch selection is great as well. They also cater for things like office lunch meetings. A couple of my favorite breakfast foods are a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese on the side or the large yogurt with granola and fresh blueberries. For a light lunch, I love their Italian Wedding soup.

The staff are pleasant in the actual cafe, but that's about it ! Food is poorly cooked with a limited menu. Coffee was luke warm, Restrooms are down the corridor and can only be accessed by obtaining the key from the reluctant security guard with an attitude and indignation that you dare ask to use their restrooms !! This cafe serves the building it's affiliated with, otherwise, I feel there are better options elsewhere!

Hi there, I’ve been a loyal customer for years and always enjoyed ordering my usual sandwich on a bulky (or torpedo) roll. Since the new ownership, I’ve noticed you’re often “out” of rolls, and now phone orders aren’t being taken. I understand you’re trying to move toward online ordering, but it’s frustrating that we can’t select bread options or speak to someone directly. I really hope you’ll consider bringing back the flexibility and friendly service that made your deli special. Many of us longtime customers would love to keep supporting you, but these changes make it hard to stay loyal.

I went downtown for a meeting, for lunch I was looking for a decent place to have lunch, and I ran into this place. Everyone smiles when you walk in, and the place is clean and organized. I had the Roast beef sandwich, and it was delicious. I look forward to my next meeting in Providence to revisit this place.

Very kind people. Beautiful faces. Talk to them. Ask them to make something for you. Ask them to surprise you. I talked to the people who made my food and I could tell they cared. I’m sure whatever you’ll get won’t disappoint you. Thank you for leaving me with a good memory of RI.

Hands down a great spot to get lunch if you love great food & service. Jeanie & Brian are amazing and her recipes are delicious! If you love a good soup, sandwich or things like sheperd's pie, lasanga, etc this is the place for you! One of my lunchtime staples down city!

Absolutely the best place for lunch in all of downtown. Everything is fresh and made exactly to your liking. They also have light breakfast. Even after 25 years it's still the best place in the city to grab lunch.

Turmeric citrus soda is made from scratch, super refreshing and delicious! Mine had little juicy bits of pulp that made it extra tasty and fresh. There is a little outdoor seating area (3 smallish tables and a couple benches) that is breezy and perfectly shaded from the late afternoon sun, and when I was here late on a summer Friday afternoon there weren't a ton of people crowding the area. A nice little peaceful break from the crowds further up Wickenden. I hope to come back and try the food soon!

This place is pretty neat and the drinks are good. I decided to try the seasonal ice tea and was pleasantly surprised. The kick of mint in it does leave you feeling refreshed. It’s take out only, but tables have been placed in the governor/wickeden square so you could always sit there or go for a 5 minute walk and enjoy India Point Park. Overall, nice coffee shop!

Loved the espresso had a simple latte but it was very good smooth and velvety. Very friendly staff. The place was busy alot of college kids here. I guess they know good coffee and good food.

I honestly disliked this place. Kind of surprised me because they have great reviews. I'll start with the coffee bc that was my biggest complaint. Ordered an iced mocha latte. My biggest complaint was the size to be honest. It came in a 12 oz cup. After ice, I received 8oz of coffee for $6. While $6 is fair across most coffee shops, that's in return for a 20-24 oz cup. So in reality, I would've paid 12$ for a "normal' large 24oz quantity. Now this would be moot if the coffee was AMAZING. However, sadly it wasn't. About average. I couldn't taste the espresso at all. And in a 12 oz cup, leads me to believe it was prob also a single shot. The mocha flavoring tasted like a legitimate cocoa powder. Which was really good. At the end. The coffee was average tasting, too small and over priced in my opinion. I provided a picture of the avocado toast instead of my coffee bc it was the better part of my experience there. The toast was thick and hearty and very good. More warm than toasty but that's not a legitimate complaint. Just preference. However I was disappointed to open the box and find a kind of DIY breakfast kit. Two pieces of bread and an avocado sliced in half with some freshly squeezed lime juice and dried chili flakes. The flakes added a unique kick that I've never tried before. If you don't like spicy. I'd definitely opt out of them. At 10$ tho, I feel this was just a little over priced especially since I had to make my own toast. The flavor was amazing otherwise tho. I gave this place 2 stars because I wasn't happy overall. Mainly just really expensive compared to other shops for what I got in return. The toast however was really good and paired with an average coffee. I can't complain about the taste. Just the price and DIY toast. I wouldn't go again personally. I'd recommend it to someone with a warning it's a bit expensive for what you get. They have a really good review overall tho. This is just my opinion and experience. So please keep that in mind.

Owner operated neighborhood coffee shop. Exceptionally welcoming and excellent coffee. Don’t miss their amazing yogurt parfait!

I really loved this place; it’s quaint, it’s clean, it’s real ;). The espresso was excellent, the service was great, with smiles. I had the avocado toast, simple and perfect, includes chilli pepper flakes, how could you go wrong??!! The bread that accompanied the toast was very fresh and tasty.

Get the porridge with berries, seeds etc. So good. However, everything is exceptionally well done so get what appeals most. Be prepared to wait a bit but it’s so well worth it!!!

Overpriced coffee is now our new standard. But for something that price it should be great. Located inside the Graduate hotel. Book worm feel. Quiet. The hummus pack was actually pretty refreshing. However I have had better coffee milk in the city.

Very cute atmosphere with good coffee. The breakfast sandwich was underwhelming

Cute spot in our hotel. Breakfast sandwiches were very good. So was coffee and Tea. Cozy well decorated and friendly service. Lots of places to sit and chill. 2 hot drinks 2 sandwiches $25.00

Nice coffee shop in the hotel room. Cortado sure beats drip coffee but not the best in the city. I did enjoy the BEC sandwich. I did enjoy the ambiance!

This is one of the more spacious cafes I've come across in Providence. It has comfy seating, good music, and Stephen who works at the register is so friendly and helpful when you can't decide what to order. My favorite is the avocado toast and my boyfriend loves the sausage egg and cheese on brioche.

Loved being here as usual. The baristas always remember me even when I haven't been in a while. The banana nut muffin warmed up was phenomenenal and my coffee was fantastic. I love this place so much.

Stayed at the graduate hotel in a suite and and went down to get my free coffee with the token the front desk gives you at checkin. Went to order a sandwich and was told “I can’t make you any sandwiches” it’s just coffee. Was disappointed they only had muffins and some danishes. No bagels or fruit. Pretty minimal setup. And the free coffee is self serve drip coffee over by a separate area. The coffee was piping hot and pretty good so maybe that make up for the lack of food options.

Cute, little juice bar. Juices and smoothies are great. I haven’t tried their sandwiches yet. The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful. The vibe is welcoming and comfy. They offer a rewards card. Buy six of any juicers, smoothie, coffee/teas and get your seventh beverage FREE 😊..... Parking can be a hassle sometimes. Only con is they have no bathroom! Overall, a great place and I would recommend to others.

AMAZING AMAZING PLACE. The entire group I was with didn't want to leave and we wanted to clone the place in our backyards. We couldn't choose from the endless selection of wonderful gourmet options from all the juices and smoothies, ginger shots, salads, paninis... I mean I was thorn for a half hour and wanted everything. This is truly one of a kind atmosphere, service and incredible menu. Someone please make this a franchise.

They delivered to my office, and I must say, I agree with another reviewer; these sandwiches are life changing. We got 4 sandwiches and they were all incredible, everything tasted just right. The Chicken Ciabatta won out for the overall favorite here. I can't judge on decor since I didn't pick up the food, but the food was incredible, and the guy who delivered was very nice as well.

God I love this place. Amazing muffins and a brilliant owner. I've gone a couple of times, and once forgetting to make my capp a double, the owner gave me a free drink on the house. Super classy, great ambiance, couldn't recommend enough.

This tiny juice bar a block or two in from Wickenden St is a delight!! Enjoy walls adorned with work from local artists, play board games or feel free to dig into their selection of books. I usually get an iced chai (one of the best in town) and "The Benefit", an amazingly delicious and hearty egg sandwich that must be tried to truly appreciate. The place is small, the menu is small but the staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is great. Outside seating available (when the weather cooperates of course). A+

We went to this location after finding another location was closed unexpectedly. I was SO impressed! For a little juice bar the quality is very good and the atmosphere is lovely. Nice music playing, cute little tables and the staff was very nice. Highly recommend trying this place out!

Delish, huge hummus plate and green juices. Adorable cafe in a beautiful spot, cobblestones, Federal-style houses, charming owners. Perfect spot for healthy, reasonable plant-based lunch and afternoon snack. Staffed by artsy, smart students from Brown, RISD. Enjoy! I wish I had something like this to visit near me every day. Providence is a very special town.
