The 23 best coffee shops and best cafes in Pawtucket

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

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!

Absolutely life changing meal. We split the corn fritters, rolls, and a charcuterie board, as well as the gnudi. Finished with the sweet corn & blueberry ice creams for desert. Everyone was incredibly kind and so attentive throughout our meal, and the food was out of this world. We came down from Boston and I’m willing to make that trip again just to come to dinner here!

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!!

We came here for restaurant week to have a complete dinner experience and this place didn't disappoint. Everything is fresh and delicious. Not huge portions so if you're looking for leftovers this won't be the place for you. They give you just enough. It's pricey for what you get but worth it. The best pot de creme I've ever had that finished off my experience.

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.

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.

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.

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 👍

This is going to be a new favorite in the coffee rotation! We got dirty chai lattes which were delicious, not too sweet. The atmosphere was so lovely and they have a nice pastry selection too.

A Hidden Gem Right Near My House! I can’t believe it took me this long to visit this cafe—it’s literally walking distance from my place! The atmosphere was so comfortable and clean, making it the perfect spot to relax or work. The barista was super welcoming, and my order—the Florentine sandwich on a croissant with a vanilla iced latte—was delicious (no complaints at all!). I ended up working there for about four hours, and the WiFi was fast and reliable—no issues at all. Overall, I’m excited to try more of their food and finally have a go-to spot for my low-meeting workdays. Highly recommend! ☕️💻

Notes is the best- great staff, great atmosphere, great drinks (plus seasonal menus), and great food. They expanded their space over the last year or so and it looks amazing. I appreciate how welcoming they are to every member of the community who stops in. They also host events like game nights and makers markets. Highly recommend!

One of the best cafes in the area hands down. Hubby had the honeybee latte, absolutely was delicious, very light lavender taste. The salted caramel latte was to die for. The biscuits were fresh and surprisingly light for a biscuit. The lox bagel breakfast sandwich was one of the best around. Prices were very reasonable. Street parking and easily accessible. Definitely a cute little hole in the wall spot.

Came in hoping to find a local coffee shop close to work and was letdown. Before you come here, just know that they do not offer any brewed flavors for their coffee. If you want your coffee flavored you have to add syrups in it. Also, They do not offer sugar free options. All of the syrups to flavor the coffee include sugar! So your options are extremely limited if you’re diabetic or just want to be sugar free!! Very disappointed that I got my hopes up because I saw this place had good ratings.. Overall just a waste of time 👎 Step it up guys it’s 2025! 😕

Incredible atmosphere for a date, quick study session, or a quick bite with friends/family. The staff is friendly, and the caramel latte was incredible. Food is great as well :) I will definitely be back soon!

Nice little safe space, Staff is super nice, great handcrafted beverages, food made in house, they have a second room that makes the place quite spacious!

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.

Went with my family today for ice cream, great service and yummy ice cream and chocolate shake. Definitely recommend, accessible, great flavors...

Glowing review. I come from central Attleboro to go here, it's the best around and beats most other places on pricing as well. Best product, best value, polite and expedient people.

A great variety of ice cream! They also have frozen yogurt, sherbet, ect.. 5 minutes after my daughter got her cone did her ice cream fall, the server was so nice that the cone was replaced free of charge. Great customer service 😁

Hands down the best ice cream, ever! FYI.. Blueberry Pie Frappe/ ice cream is a must❤️ The quality of the ice cream is absolutely perfect 😍. “Loyal Customer”

Hands down, Best Soft Serve in the area.

I love this ice cream shop. They're one of my top favorite ice cream shops in Massachusetts. I personally can't say no to a Sunday with Moose Tracks ice cream and hot fudge. It's been my go to for years. They are very family friendly here, and most of the employees are local kids trying to save up for college. 10/10 would recommend to everyone

Always a great experience at purple Cow! The guy who helped us who was working all alone, he works both locations n always so nice!!!

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.

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.

I’ve been coming here for at least 30 years. It’s the same person managing it as it was back then. Great food and they know what they’re doing. It’s at a train station but it’s great sandwich stop if you’re in the area and need something quick.

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.

Great food and coffee, friendly and happy employees, fast service! I love coming here, it's always great!! ❤️

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!

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.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience here. They were talking about tarot cards when I walked in. So naturally, I was quite a fan.I absolutely love the atmosphere and I enjoy this place and the food was delicious.The coffee was fresh and I will be back!!!

The server was the sweetest person, gave Mylo a pup cup with a little cookie on top. The ambience is tastefully decorated. There are plants and artifacts from local artisans for sale. Perfect gem to study in the outside area. By far the best hot chocolate in town.

Great coffee, great food, and great people. This is a relatively new coffeeshop, in the lower floor of an old times shopping mall. We got a coffee and a late, both were great. I believe the coffee was a pour over. There were multiple micro roasted beans to choose from, which I chose a light roast. We also had a bagel and a sandwich, both were very delicious. This place is ideal for a meet up with friends, or a date, or just bringing your book or laptop and that sort of stuff. I’d certainly go back!

Such a cute spot!! It has a “hole in the wall feel” which I love. It has plants everywhere and the design of the place is so cute and cozy. Staff was also wicked friendly. There aren’t many bar seats but they have plenty of table seating. I got the avocado toast + bacon ($1) and it was the best I’ve ever had. You’ll spend around $15-$20 per person here if you get a drink and food. They had specialty drinks for Valentine’s Day, I got one w/ matcha, white chocolate and raspberry which was SO good. I will be coming here again.

Lovely staff, food, atmosphere, plants, vibes. A unique place to visit. I really like that they also sell plants too which is also cool.

Visited this place at 11:30am. Ordered an iced coffee and was told it would take 15 min to brew because I was the first customer of the day to order and iced coffee. Waited patiently at the bar...once my $6.75 small iced coffee was delivered I asked for cream and was told they didn't have any, that they only had milk. Really a coffee business that doesn't have cream...??? Best of luck guys but something tells me you won't be in business for long...

I stumbled upon this charming café, and it's like no other I've been to before. The atmosphere here is something special—cozy and filled with lush greenery in every corner, thanks to the abundance of plant pots. It instantly sparked my creative juices and inspired me to dive into some writing. The coffee here is not just delicious; it's a warm, comforting hug in a cup, paired perfectly with some light, scrumptious bites. ☕ If you're in need of a serene and inspiring escape, make sure to check out this café. It's a little slice of paradise in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

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.

Got some great beans for my new espresso machine here. A good variety of go-to beans as well some some special varieties on rotation. I hope they'll consider putting on like coffee tastings or something similar in the future!

I had a "here be dragons" moment trying to find this place, but I trusted my GPS. Since this is closer to Providence than the main cafe, it was a great way to stock up on beans and pods (though no prepared coffee) The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.

This place is bussin' no cap fr fr. My fav place to vibe when I'm working remotely. Make sure to ask for the "Sam Hyde", its not on their menu but they'll make it if you ask nicely.

Really good beans and coffee. I asked for the „Sam Hyde“ and was not disappointed!

Such great coffee here! make sure to ask for the Sam Hyde!

Best nitro coffee in RI

Cute vegan cafe I am glad I got to try. I had to get a few things to try a variety. I even asked for a recommendation. They recommended the blueberry pancake whoopie pie. It was actually amazing. Perfectly toasty and maple blueberry pancakes with a nice cream in the middle. I was excited about the carrot cake latte. It was amazing. I love the creative latte. Then I have to recommend the carrot cake cupcake. Whole food experience was fantastic. Would love to go again. (Getting eloped soon so considering this as my cake). The system with holding numbers is genius. The staff just comes up to you and hands you your order.

They did the cake for my baby shower and it could not have been more perfect. It was a baseball theme and I asked for some flowers too. It was almost too beautiful to cut into. I was so happy and would 100% go back to them for any other cakes I’ll need in the future.

It was a decent place. They had several options ranging from cookies to brownies to cake to other bakery items and all of them were VEGAN!! Looked pretty great tbh. We ordered the chickpea sandwich, which I thought was alright. Not a 5/5, more like a 3.5/5 it lacked a bit of flavor and was on the dry side. The coffee was decent too, nothing extraordinary. Overall, it's a good spot. The servers were nice and the atmosphere was great. I'd recommend checking out some of the other items though.

Wildflour is the best vegan bakery in the region, n is so good as to even shame many a nonvegan bakery. Check out their smooth customization of my vision for my bb's bday cake. We suffered in our deconstruction of this work of loving art with each slice harvested, but our pain was mercifully soothed with every heavenly mouthful. My one gripe is that we have to travel 40 minutes for the pleasure of this RI treasure, but such we do for love...

Used to love and frequent this place but I feel it’s gone downhill a bit in recent months. I no longer see my favorite staff members working there and the difference can be felt. Service is hit or miss depending on who you get, and the food is hit or miss a lot as well. Certain meals can be made drastically different from day to day. The bakery and food selection could use some additions and/or subtractions. I wish they had simpler options like a plain blueberry muffin… rather than the blueberry walnut coffee cake. Over the last couple years the menu has just felt so redundant. Overall I feel this place has gotten complacent due to being established for a long time, one of the only vegan eateries around, and its central location. It’s like they know they’ll always have customers so they don’t feel the need to try too hard on the customer service front. I get it, but I used to give them a lot of money and I’ve reduced that significantly in recent months. I’m at the point where if I want vegan food I’ll just go to the Indian spot in the same plaza and get a vegan option there. Wish there were more efforts to make tangible improvements here with service, consistency, menu, etc. because some of their selections *can* be good depending on the day. But personally I’ve grown tired of taking that risk.

My husband surprised me with a piece of chocolate cake, gluten free whoopie pie and cupcakes for my birthday. Everything looked delicious, I chose the chocolate cake to dive into first. It came with raspberries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. So wonderful. Such a big piece that I still have some for later. What a wonderful surprise! I'll definitely return for some more treats when we're in the area. I'm in eastern CT and it's worth the hour trip.

What a refreshing find! The humans are extremely friendly and the food is delicious! They have a little bit of everything here. Highly recommend this lovely place. I will now be a regular customer. The smoothies, food and coffee are delicious! ☺️ Thank you Wildflower for offering tasty healthy treats to the community.

Our family arrived on a whim. We were late for breakfast and had to settle for lunch. Lunch is amazing, sandwiches are made with delicious bread, amount of meat and the "small" portions are enough for two. We had the cheese burger, the egg salad sandwich, and the ham and cheese. Definitely appreciate the friendly hospitality as well.

The grilled sub was the best sandwhich I ever had in my entire life. I am not kidding. I never had vegetables served as perfectly. We found this place by accident, and it was to our great fortune. Prices are very reasonable.

Real turkey roasted on the premises for the sandwiches, no pressed crap. The turkey sandwich is amazing and the place is the real deal on polish food, pierogi and stuffed cabbage. They make a good roast beef and a VERY good Italian. Everything is good really and it makes it a place you can go back to over and over and have plenty of variety.

Here I was thinking there weren't any pierogis available anywhere in RI, and then I finally found these guys! AWESOME fried pierogi lunch with delicious bacon, onions, and sour cream to top it off. Incredibly fair price, especially since it also comes with a salad. Really nice guys behind the counter too. Talk about a hidden gem! Check it out!

Very friendly, no frills cafe serving up awesome homemade food. We had the stuffed cabbage, eggplant parm and chicken parm. All were delicious and served up quickly. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I had a meatball sub with cheese, excellent toasted perfectly. My wife had the pirogis which were fried with onion and bacon. Just wow! Had a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie too. If you're looking for great food in a swell diner, this is the place.

Fantastic food!! Honestly, this is my new go to spot when I'm in Rhode Island. The owner is really friendly and hard working. I can't say enough good things about this place!!!

Had a terrible experience here. The person operating the drive thru speaker was absolutely unintelligible and when I politely asked her to repeat herself she seemed annoyed by my request. The worst part is they got my order wrong with something I cannot eat. I ordered a turkey sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich (I don't eat pork) and when I got home to open my order I was disheartened to see what I was given. You guys just lost a loyal customer.

It’s bad enough this Dunkin closes way earlier than all the others, but it’s even worse that the employees always decide to close even earlier. On top of that there always rude and there service is always poor. This Dunkin sucks, don’t waste your time going, chances are it’ll be closed when you get there.

If I could give zero I would. This place sucks and their workers clearly have zero common sense. It’s sad how the order shows on the screen so all the workers need to do is COUNT. When it says 20 munchkins- don’t stop at 10, please learn to count. Anyways, 3 horrible experiences here- 1st was thru the drive up- lady was miserable and not welcoming whatsoever- def not the voice of someone I’d be happy to have serving my coffee- just rude- you’re on the speaker, you need to at least fake being happy. The other 2 were both through DoorDash and they got BOTH orders wrong. The first one they missed 3 items from my order- as stated above, if my order had 5 items in it, COUNT what’s in the bag before you close it and you’ll find out it’s wrong. After reporting that order I reordered, and again they messed it up. Hash-browns had no cheese or bacon, and half the munchkins were missing. As a previous dunkin worker, this location is a disgrace- the manager should be appalled about their employees. Need to replace all the workers and get happy ppl, maybe then people will be happy to go to your store bc orders will be right and people will be welcomed, but now you lost another customer bc of it.

I went this morning through the drive thru order a LG hot latte but they gave me a regular coffee with sugar and they charged me for my latte price smh and there is no snickers that's says what kind of coffees it is. I know the difference between a latte with no surgar. I tried to called them twice but no pickup.

Dunkin has always been my family and I go to place for a quick breakfast. Typically our experience is great until today. As we were waiting in the drive thru line for about 30 mins, we finally pull up to the window and I see one of the employees with a vape in his hand with GLOVES ON! He goes around back then comes back around with the SAME gloves on that he had his vape in. You may ask how do I know that it was the same gloves (based off of experience, you can tell when the person has been having the same gloves on for a very long time). Furthermore, I cancelled my order as obviously that’s EXTREMELY unsanitary and I was not going to give my child that food especially witnessing cross contamination. I want this review to come across this young man and serve it as a lesson or example that we understand fast food can become extremely stressful and we have necessities but please take a moment to do that outside and wash your hands and change your gloves. The amount of bacteria in your hands then going to touch food can make someone very sick. Please understand the seriousness of this and take it into consideration for others especially children who are also eating this food. Thank you

first thing I’ll say is… should’ve looked at the reviews of this Dunkin’s before going there. NO inside, only outside order pick up window or drive thru (although mobile app doesn’t clarify this). didn’t have a SINGULAR alternative milk in the store, offered us skim or whole milk, I’m allergic to dairy, thanks. this was after it already let us mobile order the oat milk drinks as well. rude staff, wouldn’t provide a refund, and not to mention everyone in the vicinity of this location (customers included) was confused and lost due to the absurd setup and design.

Everytime i come to this particular dunkin they never make my caramel creme frozen coffee right and when trying to communicate with the workers they are very rude and dont even bother to listen then try and argue with me and tell me how to order my drink i never have any issues anywhere else but this one dunkin i wont be ordering from here again and btw you still didnt make my drink right.

This store by far makes the best drinks and the signature latte they make here, are the best I’ve ever had. Even the presentation of the drink is impressive and looks better than the advertisement and the taste is perfect, neither cream nor coffee over power. Thank you to the team who pays attention to every detail and the management who built an incredible team.

My experience at this location was horrendous. I ordered in the app. Pull up to the drive thru and am told they don’t have what I ordered. Asked if I wanted a bagel instead of the bagel twists I ordered. My kids don’t eat the regular bagels. Finally get my kids to decide and I’m told what they want costs too much. I said that’s fine. Please just give me an order of bacon. I then got the biggest attitude asking if I was going to pay for it. I already had a $20 order, my kid wants bacon, yes I will pay for it. Even my 12 year old commented on her attitude. Waited in the drive thru for 20 minutes. Watched them mess up the order in front of me. Tell her she didn’t order or pay for her food… I get up there and they try to charge me a 2nd time. Argued about the bacon, then didn’t give me the other food I originally ordered. Total attitude from the staff, made me late for an appointment, because I wasn’t planning on a 30 minute ordeal. And the three girls who looked like high schoolers were laughing and spilling drinks in the background. Where is your manager? Don’t leave children in charge. I will not go back to this location.

HORRIBLE PLACE I had came to this Dunkin on numerous occasions had horrible experiences each time the management sucks their manager isn’t professional when it comes to costumers she’s always on her phone while making food they talk to people how they please ( especially their morning shift) Almost every time I go in there’s a very tall girl always on her phone ignoring costumers looking miserable each time I’m there. Every time I go in their always complaining and talking crap about their job while having a dining room full of costumers especially the one with no gums it’s very disgusting and unprofessional how they run things in this dunkin and sometimes when I go in at night theirs people standing around like they don’t have a job that needs to be done. bathrooms are ALWAYS disgusting never clean and trashes outside are always full do not come to this place!!

This was in the snackin bacon I order from here beyond disgusting

Worse Dunkin location around. I’ve gotten so many wrong orders here. I keep giving it a chance because it’s easy to go in after food shopping next door but it’s not worth it. I could tell that the girl taking the drive thru order was struggling to get my order as she kept repeating it incorrectly. Thanks to this I pulled into the parking lot after receiving my order to check it and sadly I was right. I believe everyone deserves an opportunity to earn an honest living so I made sure to clearly repeat my first item and take it slow asking one by one and still my order was incorrect. I did not ask for less spread and the type of bagel was also wrong. They were closed so I had to walk up to the drive thru window. It wasn’t just me. There was a man before me having to do the same. The worst part was that instead of being accommodating for their mistakes they had an attitude when it came to fixing them. This location needs better management and customer service training.

After leaving a horrible review cause of my experience. I've given this location another chance. I've gone two week in a row on different days and thins are so much better thank you. I had one of the flakiest delicious croissant. My coffees have been made correct and taste better. I appreciate the hard work. I'll be coming back soon

I went there alittle while ago walked in waiting for about 10 to 15 minutes there was no acknowledgement two people working there they were both working the drive-thru window even though there was only one car in the drive-thru after they were done with the car they stood there and talked to each other still no acknowledgment I said hello they did not answer me I waited another 5 minutes and left... It's time in my life I will never get back I just ended up standing there for nothing took my grandson quite a while to stop crying after not being able to get his munchkins

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

These Young Staff Working here have absolutely no respect for any person / or Human being for that matter . I order a water and I had no problem paying 30 cents . But when I went to Pay the girl in the front and back started to laugh and make fun of me & my partner . Saying we are broke and taking crap Very immature , Rude , Disrepectful & Ridculous These Kids are up Past their bedtime need to get taught customer service & BETTER TRAINING . And dont even think abou getting your order right because they can’t even fall simple directions They also acted like enlited divas Dont work in the fast food business with real life customers if you cant be an adult because the customer is always right. Ridiculous to argue with someone because they asked for water. Will be calling corporate, and I hope these girls know that their attitude towards one person could affect their life

This is the worst one to go to. The staff is extremely rude and 8 out of 10 times will make your food wrong while making you wait but whatever I’m use too it with these people. Today though was ridiculous. I made a mobile order and showed up 10min after I placed it (because last time the lady at the register gave me a hard time for showing 1min after I placed it. Stating “you need to give us more time to make your order” Which is wild no other establishment ever gets mad lol) and of course they’re making jokes and told me to pull over. Mind you there’s nobody behind me, 25min go by, nothing and now I have to go to work with no food. Unreal.

Out of all the local Dunkin’s this is definitely one of the better ones and the drive thru is normally the easiest to use in the AM

HAD TO COME BACK TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND FOUND A LIL GIRL WITH SOME ATTITUDE PROBLEMS ! Down the street better to many kids and the Maneger let this kid give me attitude in from of her

Ordered 2 strawberry dragonfruit refreshers with green tea. When I left and started to drink it I realized it was made with water and not green tea . I was to far away to go back. They should have let us know if they couldn't make them properly.

I went to this Dunkin on March 26 just looking for a fresher made with water when I asked for For this, I was told that they’re not allowed to make it when I asked for it to meet with iced tea. They told me that it was already premade. I work at a Dunkin and I know for a fact they do not pre-make any former refresher when I saw her make the refresher And her confronted her on it she ran away from the Window. This is absolutely terrible customer service, and I would be at my store if I ever treated a customer this way

This location looked updated and nice. To bad they didn't update the employees. When we first walked in all the staff was talking and standing around. As we got to the counter we had to wait for them to finish the conversation. It was nice that the girl who waited on me to pull her shirt sleeve up so I could see the naked woman tattoo on her arm. I had to repeat my order a few times. Then it was nice to see one of her coworkers come over and announce that another worker is, " dropping a duce". I asked the girl again if my coffee had the flavor in it and she said yes. As I took a sip down the road. She made it wrong. There was no napkins in sight. Floor had some paper trash and tables needed to be clean but I guess the conversation was more important.
