50 Best Cafes near North Providence

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

“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!“

“Wonderful place that I just stumbled upon. So cute inside with multiple options such as the cafe, restaurant, pub, and pizza station. We ate at the Cafe. Our food was absolutely delicious, especially the white clam chowder which was a special that night (it's not on the regular menu). It was one of the best I've ever had! However, our service was a bit lackluster. Our waitress was very nice but she was definitely distracted or scatterbrained. We did not receive our soup and salads before the meal as we were supposed to. Some meals came out before others. The vegetable wasn't available that we ordered but she didn't tell us until the plates were put in front of us with different sides. The drinks did not come out when they should have, etc. However the food was so good and we loved the ambiance so much, that I will go back and give it another shot.“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“Popped into this café this morning with my family and was pleasantly surprised at their selection of croissants available. Giant gourmet croissants. I had the pistachio croissant and the filling was absolutely delectable, very nice texture and not too sweet. My husband had the chocolate croissant and he said it was delicious. Our little one loved the matcha cookie. My favorite was their iced matcha with almond milk, very nice that they offered matcha! The owner was very kind and you can tell the staff really values their customers’ experience.“

“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. ;)“

“love this place. my only advice is make more bakery items because any time you go past like 11 or noon almost everything is sold out :(“

“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. 🫶“

“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!“

WOW! Great job! Well done! This is an excellent addition to your menu for those looking for a little sweet. All the best!“

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. ❤️“

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

“It's great to see the Xo Bar open again! It was always one of our top lounges to go to back in the early 2000s! Now its even better with the new hang out lounge area! It's so hard to find a nice place with cozy couches in RI. It has a great set up and friendly service! We will be back!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“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.“

“I have been coming since I was a baby with my parents. The food is excellent. I absolutely love the blueberry pancakes! The staff were quite nice and respectful! Some people have put bad reviews, but do not believe them because this restaurant is the BEST!I would recommend if you wanted to have a nice lunch or breakfast in the east side!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love all Seasons Cafe excellent iced coffees, sandwiches are so good and the best Watermelon lemonade ❤️“
