50 Best Cafes near Johnston

“Went for lunch while working down the street, and it was everything I was looking for. Delicious grilled chicken wrap, can’t wait to try the other items on the menu👍“

“The food was incredible the service was great it's BYOB was our 1st time we will come back“

“I recently discovered Brewed Awakenings, and I am hooked! I visited the Cranston location. The staff was so friendly. The cafe was spotless, and Paul, the manager, is so warm, welcoming, has a stellar personality, and completely makes my morning. It's been tricky trying to find a solid cup of iced coffee that has all of the bells and whistles. I shared with Paul my favorite flavors, and he immediately whipped up the perfect cold concoction. It was my first time trying coldfoam! It is by far the best iced coffee I have ever had. Pictured is brewed Smores iced coffee with Oreo cold foam, crushed oreo cookies, and a smidgen of chocolate syrup. 10/10 recommend. I'm already looking forward to my morning cup.“

“By far the best coffee shop I’ve found. The eggnog latte was - words cannot describe it. I’d marry it. I’d drink it year round. The lavender honey is also amazing. The people are as fabulous as the coffee, if that’s possible. ☕️❤️“

“I’m actually mad at myself for being too scared to try a new place because this cafe is SO cute and the food and beverages I got are SO amazing! And super friendly staff. Chipotle Blt, peanut butter and chocolate latte with oat milk and dandelion tea. All of it 10/10.“

“Delicious iced mocha. Cute place. Worth the visit.“

“Truly an incredible place with even more lovely people. Places like this are what keep our city wholesome. And of course they have tasty yums and bevs“

“Went on google maps looking for a little breakfast spot. Found this gem. Nothing bad to say. Crepes were a perfect balance of all ingredients. Golden Latte hit the spot. Atmosphere was the right amount of cozy and inviting blended with bright and cheerful. Definitely worth the stop.

P.S. if you look at posted menus here beforehand- there are no waffles. ;)“

“Wonderful place to eat the best Middle Eastern food in RI , they also have some outstanding deserts, I would recommend this place for sure“

“Everything was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“great food and the owner is great!“

“went for the first time today for a breakfast sandwich. What a hidden gem we found!! We will definitely be back again and probably sooner rather then later!! Staff was very friendly, sandwich was excellent and the cafe is cute. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!!“

“My coffee was amazing and the food was great. The servers have always been friendly and that’s hard to find around here. Thank you for being consistent, it makes all the difference.“

“Loved this spot. Super nice employees and enjoyed a Hot Lavender Haze Matcha so much!“

“The vibe is gorgeous! Well-rounded coffee shop with attentive service.

I tried the Spanish Latte, which was great — though I didn’t taste the condensed milk until the last few sips, so up until that point, it tasted like a regular latte with (good) espresso, just no flavor. Would still order again in hopes of a better blend & try it iced!

The croissant I got was fresh, plain-and-buttery, massive, and abundant in soft flaky layers.

Their onsite merch is excellent quality too, and the aesthetic they’ve built for their shop makes it easy to want to purchase and reflect the brand.

Excited to return… perhaps on a weekend where I can try their breakfast sandwich… but the croissant bread pudding also sounds delicious… stay tuned!“

“Awesome Lil place, staff was nice and friendly, waffle dessert was awesome! can't go wrong If you are a waffle fan and Sweet Yummy desserts! highly recommended“

“Lovely little café me and my friends found while we were looking to pass some time. Was greeted immediately with a smile and a menu. The atmosphere was relaxed. Ordered myself the cinnamon roll (which was amazing) and an earl grey French 75. Can't wait to come back here!“

“The service is fantastic and the food is delicious. I’m in love with the chicken and waffles! Topped with hot honey is spot on. But it’s the smiling faces and warmth that keep me coming back. Although a big old breaded and fried piece of chicken and scrumptious waffle doesn’t hurt the case. 🫶“

“The best shawarma with garlic sauce you can find in Rhode Island!!!!!!“

“Yummy chai lattes and delicious breakfast sandwiches. 🙂👍🙂“

“The coffee and atmosphere were amazing! Highly recommend this spot.“

“I have driven by this place so many times and finally stopped for the first time yesterday. Amazing! I had a cinammon raisin bagel with maple walnut cream cheese and a toasted turtle iced coffee. So incredibly good. Please support this local business!!“

“Love this place. Just moved from NYC. Bianca has made me some of the best mocktails I’ve ever tried. Explain your palate and watch her bring it life. She nails it every time. I’ve tried mocktails and cocktails on this menu and it’s one of my favorite spots Providence so far.“

“Best coffee in town with very friendly and knowledgeable owners. You will not be disappointed. New to Providence or just visiting, enjoy a cup of coffee and get great suggestions on what to see and do. They are supporters of local artisans for all your souvenir needs. Can’t say enough good things about this place. ❤️“

“Great place“

“It has a great atmosphere with incredible food and accommodating service. Worth stopping in to find out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed“

“6 of us went. Everyone loved their sandwich and service was excellent. We will be back!“

“The catering for the coalition was superb. The chicken was so tender, the meatballs were flavorful, the food was fresh and hot. The Chocolate chip cookies though put a smile on everyone's face.“

“Stopped by for RI Food Fights, got an iced coffee with caramel and oat milk. The coffee was good but the food was out of this world! I had the opportunity to try the special: rice and beans. It was so flavorful! Definitely get it before it disappears!!! The new owner was so friendly! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Cafe Tempo is hands down the best staff and coffee in Rhode Island. It never disappoints. I hope they never get too corporate or big and lose their neighborhood charm. The staff wears these visor hats now reminiscent of McDonald’s. I know I’m nit picking but could be the sign of a more corporate mindset“

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“The Watermark Cafe is RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) owned dining venue. Though many RISD students come here regularly, the general public seem to always drop by and enjoy toasty treats and healthy meals. The cafe serves excellent fresh sandwiches, wraps, burritos, soups, salads, fruit, local yogurt, organic smoothies, espresso drinks, fair trade coffee, and organic tea. A lot of the stuff is kept local, organic, and healthy-conscious.“

“excellent light fare, fast service... going there again this week.“

“I want to say the food is great and Tammy is a pleasant woman. She is a very hard worker and will do anything for the customers. The other woman I feel like she just seats around.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Large portions, excellent service. I highly recommend!“

“Healthy & Fit Nutrition is by far the best herb-a-life shake around. Tons of protein, low calorie and the taste is amazing! Not to mention the TONS of different flavors to choose from. Z, the owner, welcomes everyone with a smile, and is a friendly environment!“

“I LOOOVEEE mochi donuts and I'm so glad this place opened up near me in PVD!!! They always have interesting new flavors and they're perfectly chewy and soft and delicious. Please stop in and grab one so they can stay in business!!! 🙏“

“I was a bit early for my train. Decided to grab a coffee, added a grill cheese to enjoy. They are very nice and friendly and the grill cheese made me dance of joy. 5 🌟“

“Gorgeous Brown University student-run cafe and bakery. They make fantastic coffee and tea. They make bao on Mondays and kabob and curry other days. Muffins are delicious. Overall a really good place to have a snack or a meal and enjoy with a friend or alone!“

“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.

Parking: I don't think this is a driving neighbourhood.

Wheelchair accessibility: The building is a bit of a rabbit warren, alongside a bit of a hill—there may be wheelchair access, but it isn't obvious.“

“best breakfast sandwiches and bagels in the state! 💯❤️“

“If you haven't been yet, go, go now! My co-worker goes pretty much every morning, I wanted him to see that he was missing out on the best part of the day, so I took him for lunch. The Cubano is the best in the city (I lived on Second Street in Miami so I know how amazing a Cubano can be, this variation is a party on your tongue!) We washed it down with one of their many amazing refreshers (seriously they are all delicious so it doesn't matter which one you get, start at the top and order a different one each time, you won't be disappointed, think "healthy alternative to Red Bull, but delicious" then prepare to be in love and addicted). The atmosphere and the service will have you coming back again and again. Bring a book, the work you should have finished, a friend, your daughter, but bring an appetite!“

“Friendly staff, delicious shakes and teas and great prices- what more could you ask for“

“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.“

“This is my favorite corner of Brown. The baristas, the food, the atmosphere are unbeatable! Shoutout especially to the fantastic and talented Tevah!!! Make sure to pay a visit when you find yourself walking through campus or attend one of the many awesome events hosted there.“

“Neat. Excellent coffee in real ceramic mugs. Expresso served correctly, wow, haven't seen that in a long time. Glass of double expresso on a little tray, WITH a spoon AND a little glass of sparkling water WITH a lemon slice in it. Perfect. Hurrah finally expresso served correctly.“

“EVERYTHING is amazing!!! Coffee, pastries, staff, environment, culture, all top notch.“

“convenient and great staff“

“The Staff is amazing and the food is great! My favorite place of all the great sandwich shops that participated in the #BestsandwichRI Showdown.“

“Prepare for the most delicious smoothie of your life! This place is run by a sweet doña with the kindest smile. The name caught me and I had to go inside. It's very bright and colorful inside and they have a ton of beverage options. They also have like 20 topping options for your drink! I will definitely going back. I am very glad that I found a banh mi place and a smoothie place on the same block!“
