Bolt Coffee offers solid coffee and a great space for telework or study, located in the atrium of the back entrance to the RISD Museum. The cafe may be challenging to locate, as it is actually named "Pearl Cafe" on the Benefit St side entrance. The hibiscus iced tea is delicious, but pricing is on the steep side, especially for the Matcha, which can easily reach $10 with a tip. The cafe has a low buzz of noise, with plenty of seating and table space, though only a few seats have nearby electrical outlets. The servers are polite, and the staff is always lovely and pleasant. Some suggest rearranging tables for a more ergonomic layout to avoid crowding near the "pick up" zone. The ambiance is enjoyable, with great music and a beautiful space featuring rotating art displays. Many customers have praised the coffee, especially the espresso served correctly, along with a delightful pumpkin spice latte. While the tea selection is limited, the overall experience remains a favorite for many in Providence.
