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

“Absolutely love this coffee shop! From the moment you walk in, the cozy atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, always eager to recommend something new or tailor a drink to your taste. The coffee is top-notch—smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed every time. I particularly enjoy their signature lattes and the selection of freshly baked pastries that pair beautifully with the drinks. The seating area is comfortable, with a nice mix of quiet corners for working and a lively vibe for socializing. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or settling in for a while, it’s always a pleasant experience. Highly recommend!“

Every dish we tried was delicious, and you can tell the ingredients are top-notch. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself is spotless with a warm, inviting atmosphere. We enjoyed every bite and genuinely left excited to come back. If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that goes above and beyond, this is it. We’ll definitely be returning for more amazing meals for breakfast and lunch!“

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

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

“As a board member of our PTG I’ve used Cafe International twice now to cater breakfast for the teachers at Stadium School in Cranston. The owner was very helpful with suggestions on what to order, the food is always fresh and so delicious. The cinnamon sugar bagel and iced spiced chai is a personal favourite. Prices are reasonable and ordering and pickup is smooth. Thank you, we will be back in the spring for Teacher Appreciation week!“

“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👍“

“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.“

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

“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. ❤️“

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

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

“I only gave 4 stars because I only had 1 thing to eat. Ill return and if it stays consistent, it will go to 5. This is cute Lil place in Richmond square building. It sits in the open, but has about 4 2-seat tables. I had a bagel which was nice and there are a lot of tasty looking sandwiches on the menu, that I look forward to trying. Its a cute set up, and the gentleman behind the counter was very friendly. He let me try a small sample of his very popular red beans and rice. Its very similar to a Louisiana dirty rice type dish, it has a small bite but nothing to over powering. He has some delicious looking baked desserts as well. I had little time to stay and try what I wanted, but Ill make more time my next visit.“

“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.“

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

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“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.“

“Stopped by for RI food fights and both the coffee and the food was delicious. Our barista was super friendly too. Highly recommend the cinnabon iced coffee and the breakfast burrito. The burrito was super fresh and had this amazing crema on it. I also had an egg and cheese that you could tell was super fresh. The atmosphere of this place was so cute too. Super cute chairs, decor, and great music. A must try Providence cafe. Definitely check them out!“

“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 🌟“

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

“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!!! 🙏“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in the country, loveee their breakfast sandwiches ♥️, and the cortado is a must!“

“Such a cute spot! The coffee was so good, perfectly balanced and super smooth. Their pastries looked absolutely delightful too, I didn’t get to try any this time, but I’ll definitely be back for those. The space itself is cozy and thoughtfully designed. Love the little details and calm vibe. Can’t wait to come back!“

“convenient and great staff“

“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.“

“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!“

“My new favorite martini spot!“

“I'm biased being as I'm the owner. I believe our coffee is the best in town and fresher since we deal with a local roaster in Providence. No sweet flavor shots here; the flavored coffee we sell has the flavor roasted into the beans. Many people do not know we are located inside the Attleboro Commuter Station. We sell coffee as well as a variety of snacks, muffins, and pastries. You can buy train tickets from us and we help maintain the station and restrooms as well. Come in and see us: we'd love to get to know you!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I met my friend here for breakfast. Everything we had was sooo good!! We will definitely be back!!“
