“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“

“The vibe was really great. Definitely a great place to relax whether inside or outside. I enjoyed the Iced Brown Sugar Vanilla Latte. The bacon & egg sandwich was good, but it was missing something. The roasted red pepper sauce put it over the top! Definitely recommend to try with the sandwiches.“

“Incredible staff. Incredible environment. Incredible seating. Incredible chai latte. Incredible undertoes. And the most incredible company. Truly incredible. 11/10 would recommend.“

“Sit, sip and chill…fast and friendly service…safe space…can’t wait to go back tomorrow…gracias 😋☕️“

“The Coffee Cup at Providence Mall is a hidden gem! It's the perfect spot to take a break during a shopping trip. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they make some of the best coffee in the area. I love their wide variety of drinks—whether you’re in the mood for a classic latte, a cold brew, or something more unique, they’ve got you covered. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to relax for a bit.“

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“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. ❤️“

“Fantastic coffee and tea. Great spot! All the drinks are level and horizontal to the flat earth.“

“The best coffee I’ve had! Even after tasting many local roasters in other parts of the US, I always return back to Queen Bean 💕“

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

“As a non-coffee drinker, I’m surprised how frequently I come here. However, their cinnamon rolls are AMAZING! I work nearby and will probably gain a few pounds from their great pastries (but it will be worth it). They also have a good juice selection and their staff is super friendly.“

“I went to several businesses around where I live and the iced coffee is hit or miss. Today in particular I went to two places and the iced coffee was just absolutely garbage. One place the ice coffee tasted old, other one had a very strange taste. I drove down to Coffee Connection and they never miss. The ice coffee today was just as perfect as it always is. I just wish it was closer to my house. The staff is always very polite. 5 Stars!!!!!“

“Delicious smoothies! Highly recommend arriving early in the morning, especially on a Sunday. Filled with college students and locals. Unfortunately it was a 50 min wait for takeout at 11 am on a Sunday. However, the sandwiches look amazing and we hope to be back!“

“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!“

“Could not rate higher. Hours are a little tough but I had just the most wonderful experience. Food and coffee is fabulous and the workspace is lovely. The staff was so kind to everyone that walked in, it’s clearly a great community spot and I hope it can continue to be! Also, the music is incredible- vibes are off the charts!“

“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“

“My favorite place for coffee (latte) and bagels. Rania is the best. Lunch stuff in the fridge. �� Would love a mimosa…hint hint….�“

“I am a regular here at Caffè Nero, and have probably been coming about 5 times a week on average for the past year and a half since moving to Providence, RI. My go to order is a hazelnut oat milk latte and I highly recommended it. They always manage to get the foam perfect even when using milk alternatives which is something I’ve noticed lacks depending on the cafe you go to.

I’ve tried a number of other cafes in the area and the reason I come here over any other is because the lattes are absolutely amazing, the service is even better, and the atmosphere is inviting/cozy. No matter who is working, I know I’ll be met with a friendly smile/chat, an amazing drink, and some delicious food if I was hungry that day.

I can always count on the environment and the staff here when I need to get schoolwork done, stay motivated, and/or have any questions at all. I also utilize a manual wheelchair for everyday life and the staff is always there for any assistance I may need, whether it be carrying my drink to my table or opening a door when my hands are full.

I love being a regular here, and very much recommend anyone in the area looking for a perfect coffee/latte to come check it out. Thank you Caffè Nero for fostering the welcoming environment you have here.“

“Whenever I am in Providence, I make sure to go to In the Pink, I LOVE their pitaya & açaí bowls and customize it each time, Hailey is always so helpful! Just this week I had their new fall apple smoothie. I also go to Clark Farms every time they are in South County and recruit my friends each weekend. Amazing!“

“Freakin’ awesome coffee & wraps! Stopped over in Providence for a night and this place was across the street and recommended by our host. We had the maple sea salt latte (1 iced, 1 hot with oat milk), breakfast wrap and chorizo & salsa verde wrap. Amazing flavors in everything and made our lazy morning perfect. We’ve already decided it’s our go to place whenever we’re anywhere near Providence. We may even take a detour! It was that good 😊“

“Everything is delicious, beautiful cafeteria with authentic Spanish bakery! I recommend you to try! 5 ⭐️“

“I've recently travelled from England to visit a friend in Rhode Island. She purchased one of your cakes as a welcome cake a cute one with bees on it and also some chocolate chip cookies. The cake was absolutely amazing and is by far the best I have ever tasted. The cookies were great too.“

“I hear the breakfast and lunch are highly rated. But it seems less well known that the dinner experience is also excellent. Beautifully prepared and delicious food served in an eclectic library setting. It's almost like being at someone's house. And all for a good cause as people learn the restaurant business. Bit of a hidden gem which deserves to succeed wildly.“

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

“I like the recent update with the comfortable furniture and design. It makes a difference if you're sitting for a while. Just wish they could dim the light a bit near the fireplace. The outside patio is always nice in the warmer weather. Food/service is decent.“

“Very good coffee and environment ♥️“

“Been coming here for years since moving to Providence and I've had nothing but the BEST experiences day after day, week after week. It's busy for a reason!! I'm proud to call Seven Stars my local coffee shop and I'll always support a cafe with a strong union that cares about its employees.“

“I love Seven Stars but won’t be back until they pay their baristas a livable wage. We hope that the company will step up to pay them at least (or more!!!) the minimum wage of $15. Until then, I’ll be going elsewhere for business.

Update: The CEO finally agreed to pay their workers a fair wage! Woohoo! I will be back because I miss it so!“

“Love the friendliness, Love my Frapps and iced coffees !!“

“My boyfriend and I were looking for a breakfast place on Sunday, but were trying to avoid long wait times. We stumbled across Caspian and gave it a try. It was quiet inside but it felt really homey. We ordered a bunch of food and drinks and everything was AMAZING. Everything felt deliciously homemade and I like how authentic this place feels. Everything was crazy cheap here too, well worth the trip!!!“

“I visited New Harvest Coffee Roasters for the first time last week with my ICED COFFEE Summer Celebration coupon from RI Food Fights. This is my 4th July using these coupons and although I’ve seen the New Harvest coupon in prior years, I never used it. How sad, because it was one of my top 3 coffees this July! I only drink Decaf and the barista was kind enough to make me an Iced Decaf Americano. Delicious. I also snuck a sip of their cold brew (Yumm!) Cant wait to come back here with my husband.“

“Had not been to this Dunkin in awhile, it is a completely different experience; it has been fully remodeled, ordered the avocado toast along with coffee and donut- toast was next level; donut super fresh. Tipped because I felt like it, service was fast, friendly, great to see smiles and get a genuine good morning!“

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

“You can’t go wrong with Starbucks. This location is great, the coffee is excellent.“

“I had an amazing experience at this cafe! The French toast sticks were absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, perfectly soft inside. A huge shoutout to Charles for their incredible cooking skills. The service was also top-notch, with Miguel and Jasmine at the front of house making me feel so welcome and cared for. Highly recommend this spot for great food and friendly service!“

“The people are wonderful here although I wish they offered a blueberry Scones or rotated their pastries a little more often to offer some new things once in a while.They used to have vanilla scones, and now they got rid of them.I think they only have ginger scones now..
But the queen aman is great.
You have to pick a not burnt one, though sometimes they're a little overdone.
I cannot say enough about the staff friendly, i'm a bend over backwards to please you...
And if you ever have a problem, ask for one of the managers, there's two girls.They will rectify your problem
No questions asked they are phenomenal!!!!
They could and should hold national conferences
In leadership to teach other managers How it's done👍“

“Amazing peanutbutter brownies! Nice gals.“

“This is THE BEST coffee shop I’ve been to so far in providence. This place has amazing, delicious food. It’s very clean and the food tastes very fresh. It is also great quality for how cheap the food is. The owner and employees do a wonderful job and are super nice. I love it when they have specials like chicken quesadillas and empanadas. Their chicken is very juicy and filled with so much flavor. I also love their coffee! They have so many exotic espresso style drinks to choose from like the tres leches latte and the brown sugar shaken espresso. If you’re looking for cheap, high quality food and drinks with great customer service, this is a great place to go.“

“convenient and great staff“

“Located on the second floor of the Omni Hotel where it connects to the mall sky bridge and the convention center/Amica
This small cafe is quick and easy. A bit pricier than other breakfast sandwiches but it was larger and good and fast. Plenty of seating and WiFi but they also let you use the side part for additional seats“

“What an incredible unbelievable experience after a tough night with my two year old, I was ready for a cup of coffee in the morning, so I got into my car and I looking for a place completely oblivious that I wasn’t carrying my wallet and Harborside Café me a huge favor give me a coffee give me warm And lots of cheer and smile. What a wonderful experience God bless the whole team at Harborside.“

“Fresh, fresh food! Egg and cheese with sausage patty was like from the farm. Next time I'm lost in Providence I'll ask for directions to small point Electronic walking directions city wide are useless.“

“Sue and her work fam.r the best at D.D.on MANTON AVE. Providence R.l. ���“

“I always have a great experience at this Dunkin' location! The staff is friendly, quick, and gets my order right every time. The store is clean, the mobile ordering makes pick-up super easy, and the coffee is always fresh. Big shoutout to the team for keeping things running smoothly even during busy hours. Definitely my go-to spot for a coffee fix!“

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

“Great food and service. I got some boba there and I couldn’t help myself but get another! I highly recommend Kung Fu Tea for my tea lovers out there. Atmosphere was very fitting and calm and the costumers seemed very happy. Clearly a 5 star tea house. Also- very cheap items for low spenders!

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids here! They seemed very kind and were very helpful peaceful. They did not cause a scene. Take your kids here! It is an amazing place to relax with toddlers!!“

“I was impressed with how well the crew works together. Its refreshing to walk into a place where the employees are genuinely happy, quick and courteous. Its hard to find good crews. I hope their manager appreciates them. I will gladly return.“

“As a first Gen Dominican American It is honestly hard to find a decent Dominican Restaurant if you know you know, but the food is great, the atmosphere is amazing and the people that run it are warm and welcoming it makes me feel as thought I’m back home!“
