“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.“

“Food and coffee are phenomenal. Service is SLOW. When the owner isn't there, the place is run by teenage girls. They're nice, but only pay attention to people ordering. Once you pay, you're forgotten. You'll sit and stare at your order on the counter for 10 minutes before you finally have to just ask for it. We love presto and will keep going, but just highly recommend ordering ahead.“

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to relax for a bit.“

Some of the best muffins, hash, eggs Benedict, potatoes, and Western omelet sandwich that I have ever had. Courtney was our waitress and I let her choose my meals and they did not disappoint!

They prepare the cutest pup-cups I've ever seen; my puppy literally loves it and he gets excited the second we pull into the wicked convenient drive-thru. I recommend Latte Love to everyone, sincerely.“

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. ❤️“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!!!!“

“The Coffee Grinder is under new ownership and Melanie has done wonders. In the tradition of Ed Duckworth, it has great coffee with modest bagels and pastry selection. It is all about the coffee!“

“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.“

“Just got a bacon egg and cheese and it’s perfect. Perfectly toasted perfectly cooked bacon, someone came right to the register as soon as I walked in ready to take my order and it was ready promptly. 5/5 stars thanks guys I was so hungry <3“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 😊“

“Awesome espresso martinis!“

“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.“
